☆☆ (MOD/HOW TO) Make the "FLASHLIGHT LED" as another Alert/notification......
Ok for ANYONE wanting to make the LED on the FLASHLIGHT light up as a notification.
ALSO this is my first try at making a thread on "HOW TO" so bare with me please...
**First preferably (root) I think makes the phone run smoother but NOT required**
Now you need 2 apps. Flashlight Alerts and FLNotifier.
FLASHLIGHT Alerts-- is also paid or FREE! from the Market
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5ycnNsbGMuZmxhc2hsaWdodEFsZXJ0cyJd
FLNotifier -- is also either paid or FREE from the Market
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImp1ZzZlcm5hdXQudXRsLmZsbm90aWZpZXIiXQ..
Next install them both!
Now to get FLNotifier to work fully you'll need to "ENABLE" the (ACCESSIBILITY) option/feature on the phone.
Settings>Accessibility> Enable/Check Accessibility> Enable/Check FLNotifier and Flashlight Alerts.
Now go to the Flashlight Alerts app in your app drawer and once the app opens, enable/check "Incoming calls" and "New text messages" or which ever you want to flash.
Flashlight Alerts will NOT continue to notify you if you missed the call or txt after a certain time... That's were FLNotifier comes into play.
Now for FLNotifier you MUST have Accessibility ENABLED. Go to the app in your app drawer and once the app opens, you can enable/check which app you want to have the Flash light up to. To get mine to work with just alerts and messaging I clicked the "Show System Apps" at the bottom left and scrolled through till i found "Alert Recipients" and "Messaging" and Enabled/Checked just those 2.
Finally you can click the "Defaults" tab at the top right and mess with the options of flash ratings and repeat notification flash for how many times and repeat intervals ETC...
If you have any questions you can pm me or email me.

Hope you all enjoy!

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

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.
I was a Inc 1 user and asked a few times for this but it was like no one understood what i was asking for. i was wondering if its possible or if a developer would take the challenge of altering the stock sms/mms apk so that a preview of the message doesnt show up in the notification bar. I know Go SMS and Handcent have the option of showing "new message recieved" instead of showing the text contents in a privacy setting but i would like to keep the stock messaging app. puhlease someone. it would be greatly appreciated....

not so sure what u mean, or if it's possible, why not try handcent or go sms? I know u want stock, but may be the only way,
If you go under Settings>Privacy, it gives you 1 or 2 options. I'm not so sure since I'm using newtoroot's Sense 3.5 ROM and that may or may not be different from what you're using. (yes, I'm advertising a Rom, and yes, you should totally go for this rom.)
Handcent SMS does this. You can disable the preview per contact or just in general. You would disable the notifications in your normal SMS app and then set it so that Handcent is the only app that does notifications for SMS and if you disable the preview feature, it will just say "XXX-XXX-XXXX text you" or something like that
I've used handcent and am currently go sms. Was just curious if there was a way to do it for the stock. Guess it cant be done.

FAQ from the website
I installed the app but the icon doesn't show up in my app tray. What can I do?
If this happens on your phone, the only solution we found was to use Nova Launcher because it has a feature that allows you to run a specific activity within an app. To set this up:
Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.Choose "Shortcuts"Select "Activities"Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
This will put a shortcut to the dialer on your home screen. At this stage, you can use this to access Google Dialer. It's not the cleanest solution, but it does work.
Can I disable my default dialer?
The short answer is no. As a general rule, you will need to keep your present dialer enabled in order to receive calls. The long answer is that on some phones you might be able to disable your stock dialer, but on others you definitely cannot. Feel free to try it on your own device and let us know what your results are.
(I disabled the first phone apk of the 2 that show up (flashing adds another one and I had it A-Z order))
EDIT: After disabling the APK, when I select "Call" the phone doesn't show any call screen whatsoever, and still has a call going, (mic works, and you can call, but the only way you can hang up is to leave the app and click the extended notification)
Again, this is all them!
This is an ANSWER, rather than a question.
There are questions all over this forum on how to get Verizon Visual Voicemail to work with an unlocked Galaxy s9. I got it to work, and rather than posting the answer in a half dozen threads, I thought I'd just create a new thread. Unorthodox, but, well, Bonnie...
This may be more detailed than you guys need, but if you can find the Samsung Visual Voicemail app in GALAXY apps (not the Samsung store, not Google Play) and use Lightflow, you're there. I don't know how the Voicemail works standalone, but I wanted the LED indicator and the sound of my choice. Voila ! This was all done on my Galaxy s9.
This app is available through GALAXY APPS, not Samsung Apps. Look for a dark blue icon with the O--O symbol. I got it to work, without rooting or Google Voice, using Lightflow as follows:
Open Lightflow
Choose Notification Settings
Choose red "+" plus sign at the bottom right
Choose "From System event, battery, gps, etc.
From "Select system notifications to add", roll down to Voice Mail, check the box, choose "Add"
This will add Voicemail to your Lightflow notifications list, and then you have to pick your settings for it.
On Lightflow's Notification page, find dark blue "Voicemail" and open the "three dots" to the right, choose "settings"
The setting menu is a "slide to the right" type menu. I used "light" , enable light, choose a color, etc. I chose dark blue to match the icon.
So now, I have a dark blue "Voicemail" icon in my apps, and Lightflow makes it chime the sound I chose and lights up the LED at the top of the S9, in dark blue, and it blinks, so I know a voicemail is there. It also shows up on the notification panel.
I have a link for the apk in another another XDA thread, here. This link takes you to the discussion, and the apk is about halfway down. Look for the "scrunch" symbol. I didn't do it this way, loading the apk, but I gather it works.

File Type: apk Voicemail_11.2.02.apk - [Click for QR Code] (9.35 MB, 302 views)
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.
