Hello again,

for "custom" I mean using an mp3 or wav file, so an audio file not present by default on the phone..
For calls this function is provided, it a pity it s not for sms.. but hopefully you know how to do that!

Thanks in advance

Dear @dalepl, here we are

I tried link you suggested but nothing: link explains how to customize ringtone for sms based on sender and that is perfect, but what I also need is to use a custom mp3 or wav file for that

Do you know how to make it?
Thanks in advance

If you download or create a custom notification .mp3 file, copy it to the notifications folder on the phone. It should show up under CUSTOM in the list of notification sounds available to be used.

That s great, but which folder do you mean?

I am using a Samsung S22 Ultra with Android 12. If I use MY Files (must have SHOW HIDDEN SYSTEM FILES turned on), I have a NOTIFICATIONS folder on the root of the internal storage. That is the folder my custom .mp3 files are located. When I choose notification sounds, those files show under the Custom header.

Thank you so much, that did the trick!
no custom header present, but after i copied mp3 file in Notifications folder mp3 file title is visible among the list of builtin notification ringtones! So just selected it and it s done

Thank again!

Your welcome. You would be surprised what you can do with the stock phone when you dig far enough in.

Yeah that s it.
I googled a lot for this info but nothing, sure it s something very specific, but really I found nothing.
Thanks again

You need to update the title to reflect that a solution has been found.

 

[st_jimmy_0]

oh sorry
what s the pattern to write?

 

[dalepl]

Just add solution found in title. That should be enough.
