Just rooted and installed the Absolution ROM and am loving it .
Just a few questions:
I want to change the wallpaper to one of my own, but can't find an option to do it - Or the folder where the 'stock' wallpapers are so I can put my own in there?
I don't want the email alert to go off everytime a push email arrives in Hotmail!! I have the notification sound set to silent for mail, but it seems to return to my default notification sound as soon as an email arrives?
Would ask this in the dev section, but I don't have enough posts to start a new thread!!
Any help??
For wallpaper you can normally change it from your launcher.
Clic on menu (key under the screen), wallpaper, choose Galerie and broose to the one you want on your SD.
This depend of your launcher, it's like this for ADW.
For notification sound, it depends of the mail application you're using I think.
You can define the default no in Sound in Settings (don't remember if you have detail or just global notification sound). Sorry, can't check more as I'm under ICS.

ADW > wallpaper only gives the option to intstall from Absolution wallpapers - No other option. So if I knew where it was storing those pictures I could save my own file in there.
The problem with the mail notification is that I can change the mail notification to silent, but as soon as a new mail comes through it resets itself to the global notification sound.
Cheers anyway.

Hi, I've got my Galaxy S for 3 days now and can't figure out how to change the notification tone for calendar reminders.
Searching the net and this forum did not bring me really further (there is supposed to be a "more" under settings but it is just not shown for me).
Thank you for your help and sorry if it's a dumb question it is my first Android after years of HTC WM.

1) On SDkard make a new map called; media.
2) Open media and make a new map called; audio.
3) Open audio and make two maps, notifications and ringtones
Inside the map of notifications attach your personal mp3.
Finished
thank you for your instructions. which i followed. but still can't choose a tone from the menu options in the calendar just the overall notification tone.
I have the same problem (I have started another thread for this a few days ago)...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714948
Yeah I was interested in changing some of the default tones as well, such as the battery low tone.
The program Calendar Snooze lets me choose an alternative tone for reminders BUT additionally to the original tone (but still better than nothing).
There is a hint screen in Calendar Snooze saying that one should disable the default alert in the calendar to exclusively use the one chosen by yourself - what of course I can't do.
My friend's HTC Legend shows (within the calendar app) the option to change the reminder tone.
And yes I read something about reaching the "more" option in the calendar by using hw keyboard or trackball both not available for us.
Any further hints on this highly appreciated
Running stock, rooted, Sprint.
When I set a reminder for my calendar, is there anyway to just get it to go to the notification bar? I don't want a full "alarm" which it does now where I have to swipe to clear the reminder and it takes up the full screen. I just want a simple notification in the background on the sidebar and a ringtone to go when it sets. Anyway to do this? It seems like it would be simple but I haven't been able to find out how to do it in the settings.

Heyyy old question, late reply. Maybe you won't need it anymore.
If I understand the question right, open your Calendar, and click your Settings softkey (bottom left beside home button)
Scroll to Settings
Click the Account Name (ie [email protected])
Scroll down to "Notification Settings"
Place a check mark
Then hit Select Ringtone (just below it) and switch to Silent.
Hope that helps.

#1: not 100% sure on that one. Possibly try the solution below, but with a picture.
#2: clear the default ringtone chooser if set, then try to set the ringtone again. Once it asks you which app to use, select whichever file browser you have, not the default ringtone viewer. From there, just navigate to where your ringtones (mp3's) are and select it. You could possibly shorten that up by just opening your file browser and selecting the ringtone and setting it as a ringtone/notification tone straight from there. If you don't have a file browser installed, get one from the play store. ES File Explorer, Astro, Solid Explorer(my go-to browser), etc...
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.
Hi there!
I don't know how they are called in the english original, but on my P6P I really miss the little dots e.g. on the Mail App when there are new messages.
In my options it has this option and it is on, but there aren't any of these dots. I really miss them, cause so you always have to pull down to see where there's something new when you are already using your phone.
Anyone a conclusion for me?
In the GMail app? I can't picture the dots.
That's called "Notification dot on app icon" and can be found in System Settings --> Notifications, down near the bottom.
It can also be turned on and off on a per-application basis by going into the application specific notification settings at System Settings --> Notifications --> App settings --> {whatever}, and switching on/off the option to "Allow notification dot" at the bottom.
But personally, I dislike this "feature". If the application notifies you, then why not click it instead of running around through your menus trying to find the one with the dot?
Thank you for the right name of what I'm looking for
But no I don't run around looking for these dots, I just open the phone and mostly there are WhatsApp or Mail news and I always have to look inside to see if there's anything new when I don't want to swipe down for my notifications.
The Settings are all set, but there are no dots for me!
Don't know if this matters, but I use the Nova Launcher.

You need to allow notification access in Nova for the dots or badges to appear. Go into Nova settings > Notification Badges and then tap the message at the bottom of your screen to enable read access to notifications.
You can also check if notifications have been disabled by going into System Settings > Notifications > Device and App Notifications and checking if Nova is enabled or disabled.
The hint with the settings brought me to the solution I think. It seems you need Nova Launcher Prime for the dots
