After installing the Facebook app on my Nexus 5X I've noticed that the list of notifications sounds available is quite limited. In particular, the Facebook 'pop' sound does not appear in the list, so it's using the system default notification. The same app on my OnePlus One has the 'pop' sound in the list.
On all the Lollipop phones I've used, Facebook adds the 'pop' sound to a notifications folder in internal storage but it doesn't appear to have done that under Marshmallow. Is this a permissions issue?
Thanks for any insight...

You can make any sound you want as a notification. Using a file explorer place the sound file in the notification folder on your sd card. Then go to the sound and notification settings menu from the settings menu and select your sound. You can do the same for ring tones but place the file in the ring tone folder
Thanks, I know I can do that - I'm wondering why Facebook doesn't install its own custom notification sounds on Marshmallow but does on Lollipop and earlier.
My facebook app was set to the default tone, but it is listed in the notification picker.
It is located in "media/audio/notifications/"
Perhaps a reinstall will fix it?

Unfortunately I'd already tried that. However, I had a look at the app permissions for Facebook and noticed that it wasn't allowed to do anything - all sliders were off. I checked what the permissions should be on my OnePlus One and set them the same on the Nexus 5X. After a reboot it created the media/audio/notifications directory and the 'pop' was in the picker.
I thought it was a bit unusual that it didn't ask for any permissions when I installed (and re-installed) the FB app...

The app won't ask for permission on install on marshmallow if it is optimized for that version. It will print when that permission is used (or on app startup depending on the app)

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.
Hello,
I'd like all of the people sending me text to have a general chime. I have to respond to my boss 24x7 so I need a very loud and distinct chime is there a way to do that?
Anyone know if this feature will be available in the next version of Android?
Apparently, Textra SMS (free, no ads) from the Play Store supports separate notifications, bubble colours and delivery reports by contact.

Just installed it - couldn't figure out how to set a specific sound notification for a specific text sender.
From any text from the specific person, click on settings. People & options, click on sound....choose any sound you desire for that user

I apologize - are you speaking about the default app or another text app such as Textra?
I'm in the default text app. I have a message string open from the person whose notification I want to change. I do not see a way to get to settings once I have the message string open.
Forgot, I'm using the messenger app. Many options available in that app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging

Thanks - I just tested - unfortunately it doesn't seem to override the sound settings on the G3. I set my default app as messenger - not messaging (native) and it still uses the default sound for all even after I selected the user - people and options - sound.

The only thing I can find is you can go to the contact and make a certain ringtone or vibration for your boss.

Yes, it may have failed on my first test because of the sound I chose or because I still had the phone attached to my pc and the settings didn't take. Working now thanks.
Is there a way to load your own tones for the LG clock app? I put tones in both the notification folder and alarm folder, and none of them show up when I go to change the alarm tone. Is there any way to do this or do I need to find another app?
I use Alarm Extreme Pro (there is a free version too) and have since my skyrocket days. Can customize any tones you want.

Which audio format are you using?
I have several files I use for ringtone and alarm; I simply put them into external SD and they all show up.
They are .mp3 and .wav files.

They are mp3 and wma files, and none show up. Do you put them in a specific folder, or are you selecting "music" when you select alarm tone so you have to go through all music on your card?
I'm used to my old galaxy phone where I could put specific files into the notification folder and then those are right there when I go to select from tones.

Yep, my ringtones show up when I want to select a ringtone for the phone, but for alarm, nothing. I have tones in alarm, notification and ringtone, but nothing. I also tried searching for some of the default ringtones so if I could find if there was another location, but there was nothing. I guess I'll have to load them into my music folder and just select them from there.

FYI, my custom alarm tones are in a custom folder named
/external_SD/media/audio
and they are .WAV and .MP3, but I am using the same SD card since the last three mobile phones therefore I suppose that the file location should not be an issue.

What worked, thanks to previous post above mine (lit the candle in my head)
Internal folder/switch/storage/emulated/0/alarms
(also, previous phone was encrypted, that might explain the emulated/0 folders)
The key was finding the "Switch" folder since I had switched from Sony, to Samsung, to finally LG.
I used the folder "search feature" to see details (path) of one of my other ringtones I had on my old phone that are still available.
I copied the new ringtones into the same folder, and it appeared.
Sorry to post in old post, but it was in top 10 results in Google, and the post that helped the most.
I'm trying to add some new notification sounds to my pixel 2 XL and it just refuses to pick them up. I've placed the MP3s in DCIM/Media/Notifications and they just don't show up. Google search tells me to use a secondary file explorer to select them but I made the mistake a while back and told it to use the default one always and can't seem to figure out how to reverse that decision. Is there some trick? I've tried shutting down/restarting and no go. My custom ring tones showed up fine, but notifications.. nothing.

Can you be a little more specific? Under "Settings | Apps and Notitications" I do not see an app for setting sounds and "settings" itself has no defaults set. In fact it looks like only Phone and Photo's have values set. What exactly should I be resetting?

Search for the apps called "files" or maybe it is "settings storage"
Normally the extra tones are simply stored on the internal SDCard under
/Alarams
/Notifications
/Ringtones
with a root explorer the file path is
/storage/emulated/0/Alarams
/storage/emulated/0/Notifications
/storage/emulated/0/Ringtones

So the internet's suggestion to put them in DCIM/Media/Notifications was the issue. Moving them to just the notifications folder worked.
On a side note I still find the app to remove defaults from. I don't have any thing sound+settings related and Files has no defaults set. So for now problem fixed but wonder why it's not listed.

Using your root browser app. Navigate to: /system/media/audio/ringtones(pic). There you will see the native ringtones on your device. I also change the file extension on my specific ringtones to .ogg, reboot, and they should work. They do for me anyway :good:
No idea why it's doing this, but every ringtone amd notification I set from the app Zedge is automatically reset to default when I restart my phone. It's only happening with the individuals I set it to. Any ideas?

I don't know if this will help you or not. If your rooted, change the file extension of the ringtone from .mp3 to .ogg then select what ringtone you want to use. Are you using a particular app to set ringtones other than zedge?

Why would they need to be rooted to change the file extension of a file that they downloaded?
As for the OP's problem, figure out where the ringtones are downloaded to, move them to a folder called Ringtones on the root of your accessible internal memory (if it's not there, create it) and move the ringtones to that folder. Then you can select them in your phone settings and/or the stock contacts app. Zedge is a great app for getting ringtones and wallpaper, but it's not so good when it comes to applying them. I don't think it has been updated for android oreo.
