Is it possible to have one sound for mail and another one for sms??
Yes it is. You do it by setting your notification sound in the messages/mail app, instead of using the 'Sound & Display' in the settings menu.
Use an app called 'tone picker' to set custom sounds outside of the options htc offer.

tnx.
Installed "Tone picker", but still I only could choose between "default ringtone" and "default notification"...
Pretty annoying with the same sound for sms, mms and e-mail..

Hi, small problem with the modaco rom (froyo):
Normally, in the sound options under ringtone, I had two options:
1. Select standard ringtone. This opens a white popup with all standard sounds.
2. Select music. This opened a popup with all my music and sounds stored on my sd card. (It was a fairly large list)
But now I can't make a selection when I open the ringtone options, it just gives me a white popup with the standard sounds.
Can anyone help me with this?

Yes that's a possibility.
But isn't there a way to get the old way back?

Yes, ringtones it can set, but no alarms
I've flashed auraxtsense rom, and it has the same problem.
Ok so apparently it's with all roms I've tested.
Anyone not has this problem, and what rom are you on?

I like using Tone Picker 1.0 (in market). When choosing ringtone, it asks whether to use default app to select default tones, or TonePicker. Then you can navigate to any file and select it. Works for every "tone picking" available in android system.
At first, i have some weird problems selecting Handcent as default messaging App at my Desire. (LeeDrOiD 2.3d and Stock RUU)
I have a Widget installed (SMS Unread Count) which displays my unread SMS on my Homescreen. In the Q&A of that Widget it says that if more than one messaging app is installed, it will ask me which one to use when i tap on the widget.
But that doesn't happen, it always starts the stock msg app.
Here's what i've done so far:
- Contacts -> Choose One -> Send SMS -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.
This works only if i'm in Contacs and select to send a SMS via Contacts App. Widget still launches stock msg app.
- Set notifications for both msg apps. As i received one, i got double notifications as intended. I selected the stock notification -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.
Works for Notifications, Handcent will get startet. Widget still launches stock msg app.
No i'm really confused and got no more idea what to do. As i tried another ROM without Sense (GingerVillain), all i had to do there was to tap the Widget and i was asked which msg app to start.
But that doesn't work on Sense ... please help me, this is really frustrating.
I guess just delete the stock message apk? It'll be / system/app/messaging.apk or something like that just adb or terminal on the phone need advise just pm me

Works fine with my LeeDroid 2.3d
Un-select all.

Never mind, i figured it out what you wanted to say But that only disables double notification, which is not the problem. (i know ho to disable this)
The whole case is all about the fact that on Sense Roms the "SMS Unread Count" Widget won't launch the "set default app" dialog so i'm unable to choose which app should be default or not.
On other Roms, e.g. GingerVillain (No Sense) the set default dialog window appears as intended.
But i want that also on Sense

Why not just use the Handcent unread SMS widget? I use it and it's sweet.
I have just disabled everything else within the stock app - notifications etc - and replaced all the icons on my home screen and slide dock (Zeam Launcher) with either the handcent 1x1 widget or the handcent icon (can't have widget on the sliding dock)
If you use the Handcent 1x1 widget, you're guaranteed that it'll start Handcent every time!

Because SMS Unread Count is also able to be configured as an Unread Mail Widget and i want both Widgets to use the same Design. The Handcent SMS Widget isn't configurable and doesn't fit my personal desire.
Thats why i use this
Will bump this since I also have the exact same problem.
Any solution? Same issue running incredibly re-engineered.
Can't you just turn off notification in the messages app? That would make it appear like the default. You could also root and remove the default messages app.

As long as you have the app on your phone mem should be ok ... do not put it on your SD card !!...
No, to both of the guys above me. App is in phone storage, and its not the notifications that are the issue.
SMS Unread count gives me no option to launch the app of choice. It launches the stock messaging app, and all defaults have been cleared in 'manage apps'
Sorry, i didnt notice you were asking about the SMS unread count. I dont use that so i cant say how it works.
Have you tried:
Settings --> Applications --> Select "Stock messaging" app --> "Clear Defaults"
This will remove the Stock Messaging app as the default app for all chosen situations, if there are any. If there aren't, the button is greyed out and isn't the problem.

Tried that. Did not work.
Use "App Vault" and disable the stock message application..!
it can be done in one click without using any command..!!
Edit: Figured it out! go to Gmail>Settings>[email protected]>labels to notify>inbox>ringtone (change to silent)
(Im running the latest stock gingerbread and sense on my desire Z)

since its the desire z rom, that should work but if not.. if you have the latest version of gmail, it doesnt have the option anymore.. uninstall the update, go to settings in gmail, do what you need then update again
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
Here's how I set it to do "silent notifications" with the newest version of Gmail:
a) Open Gmail
b) Hit Menu > More > Settings
c) Select your email address under "Account Settings"
d) Scroll down to "Notification Settings", select "Labels to Notify"
e) Select "Inbox", select "Ringtone", set to "Silent". Hit "OK". Back out of all the menu stuff.
This way, the status bar will still let you know when you have mail (so you can check it at your leisure) but will also NOT ring annoyingly when you have mail
(Of note: This works at least through Gmail v2.3.5, which is the newest in the Market (and one version that is shipped in the GApps pack add-ons for CyanogenMod based ROMs). Pretty much one of the very first things I tend to do in setup )

That's rather odd--I'm using the latest version of Gmail available in the Market (v2.3.5) and do have that option--that said, Google seems to have made it explicitly difficult to set the thing to not ring when an email comes in (or at least non-intuitive, compared to earlier versions).
There IS a menu option to turn off notifications altogether (both ringing notifications AND in the status bar)--consists of Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (select yer email address, if you have multiple Gmail accounts, you'll need to do this for each one), scroll down to Notification Settings, uncheck "Email Notifications".
If you merely want to turn off ringtone notifications for email (as opposed to all notifications--that is, if you don't want the thing blooping at you when you have new mail but DO want the status bar to indicate when you have mail) this gets more complex: Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (per account) > scroll down to Notification Settings > Labels to Notify > Inbox > set Ringtone to "Silent". (There is also a checkbox for "Email notifications" in that same section that you can use to turn off the status bar notification--if for some reason you want it to bloop at you but NOT notify you in the status bar.)
(I am in the "Non Blooping For Email" camp, and with the newest version of Gmail this gave me minor fits until I played with it a bit and found out how to do it )
Thank you for the replies everyone. It was rather unintuitive but at least its possible

He just wants Gmail notifications to be silenced, not to miss notifications/ringtones for EVERYTHING.

Ok, you're Sally.
Hello, I just wanted to ask you if there is a way of changing the default sound effects (anoying clapping) for samsung sound effects.
Thanks for reply and sorry if I have many queations.
Or any other sound effects. Anything would be better....
Gmail
Settings > click on your email address and select "inbox sound & vibrate" under the notifications section click on sound to change the notification sound for gmail
Messaging app
Settings - notifications - notification sound
Phone
For the phone the ringtone is going to be whatever you set in the settings app then you customize the other apps as outlined above
For the sound files, seach "Stock Samsung Galaxy System Sounds" on xda.
Cannot find option te set notification sound in messages app settings. It is possible in general device sound settings but causes the same notification sound in all apps. Is it solution ?
Open your message app
Next tap on the person message you want to customize the notification sound
Next tap on the 3 dots on the top right corner and select custom notification and tap one more time to enter the customized field
There look for sound
Thats it
Hope this helps
Unfortunately when you delete a thread with an individual where you have set a custom sound, the sound goes back to default.
You can also use Textra App. Amazing UI and customization with that app. Support Dev with pro version to unlock other useful features.
Only if you don't use RCS (well I can't find anywhere that third party apps support it).
If your looking to change the message app notification sound it self then do this

Yes that's it.
I didn't notice in first look that "new messages" and "general notifications" could be double tapped with further possibility to set sounds.
Thanks for that and for previous posts as well.
