Why can't I change the sms ringtone separately from general notifications? I don't want to use another sms app and I don't want to look at my phone every time a game or app wants to notify me of something. Am I missing something or is this really a basic functionality missing from ZenUI?

Does anybody know how to change the standard sms tones . Is there a sms upgrade or program?
I have a htc rom installed. i want t use my one tones, not the standard ones.
Thanks
it's don in sounds and notifications
I am looking to do this, and I can see the sounds and notifications, but if I want it to play a specific mp3, is this possible?
Many thanks.
Looking in settings I can't seem to set a different sound for different notifications. IE email sounds different than SMS.
Really? Clearly Android is in need of some 'Mobile Phone' settings.
This was one of my 1st gripes and the way round for me is to use 3rd part apps
1. Disable notifications in Settings
2. Install Handscent SMS and set it to play what ever sound when you get a SMS
3. Install Gmail Popup and set this to play a different sound for Emails received
Works for me and makes my Desire more desirable

Try looking in the apps themself rather than in settings!
i.e. change Gmail notifications in GMail, SMS notifications in your messaging app etc et.

Yikes... Every mobile phone since like 1982 has been able to change this in one place. I knew I was going to have a few problems with android but wow.
Is there an official place to submit enhancement (20 years ago) requests to the android development team?

You rather miss the point. Since Android allows all sorts of new applications, with all sorts of potentially new notifications, there is no way you can have a "one stop shop" for notifications.
I have 4 email accounts setup in Gmail, and each of them has a different notification sound. It would be very hard to achieve this if notification sounds were handled centrally.

And if you don't change the sound in an app it uses the default one as set in the 'Sound' settings in the menu, under 'Notification sound'
I want to change the notification vibrate pattern so its not so long. I'm not talking about using a 3rd party app to change an sms vibrate pattern. I am looking for a way to change this at the base of the rom so any notification, whether it be for email or other apps like wordfeud, it will be my custom pattern. So if anyone knows what file I need to edit I would really appreciate it!

can anyone please help me out with this? i tried looking thru the rom but couldn't really find which file i'm looking for...
does anyone know if it takes editing an xml? or maybe build.prop? or framework-res? i have chompsms custom vibrate pattern to what i want it to be but i would like my regular notifications (wordfeud, google voice, gmail, facebook, etc) to be the same as my chompsms custom vibrate pattern but without using a 3rd party app because those are usually limited to phone calls and sms notifications.
Not sure where this can be set in the ROM itself, but I do know you can use Tasker to vibrate any pattern you want whenever you have a new notification (along with other things). Not as clean a solution as being able to change the default vibrate pattern (and Tasker is a paid app), but if you can't find anything else, could be a solution...
try sms popup, it isnt anything like chomp or handcent simply because all it is notfication and a really simple popup window. you can set the vibrate pattern, change the blink rate of the LED and change the icon. its really nice and i think youll find it great. there isnt a different inbox like chomp. its free in the market
Check out "led me know".
It does a lot of what you've mentioned on a "per app" basis.

Is there a way to customize the Contact: SMS and Email Notifications within the Contacts application or is a 3rd app needed?
I know there is a section for Ringtone, but what about SMS and Email?
Im not sure even 3rd party apps can do it..

Email notifications come from Gmail or the Email app so custom notifications are not possible. I think Handcent SMS has the option to assign a contact a custom ringtone.
Ya, I was there was a way to have a custom sound for each notification. Email, text, etc...
For emails i dont think so, for text you can use a 3rdparty sms like gosms or handcent, or you can use ringo https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.electricpocket.ringo

It would be a bit of work but you could get Gmail label notifier and make labels for different contacts and then assign specific sounds to the labels.

How to Change tones
The phone is capable of doing it by itself without the need of a third party app, simply go into the app you wish to change the notification tone for example gmail.
1. Open app>menu button>more> then go into settings
2. Choose which account if you have multiple accounts or just select your account then go all the way to the bottom where it says labels to notify and choose your inbox. It's set to default by default which is the notification set generally in your phones settings.
3. Choose whatever notification tone you want, be it a custom one you added yourself into the notifications folder on your internal or sd card memory or ones that are on the phone by default and voila! You're set.
Example 2 SMS app (default since I use that one)
1. Open app (obviously)>menu button>settings
2. scroll all the way to the bottom and choose "select ringtone", it's set at default just like the default on gmail, changing this doesn't change your default, only changes the tone for sms app.
Have fun changing your notification tones to be able to differentiate different forms of mail, same method works for fb messenger etc, only app I haven't found a way to change the tone is yahoo mail, but that's unique so I have no need to change it.
Hope this helps.^_^
Hello,
I was wondering if ya know of an app or mod for texting that would enable the pop-up from a text and allow me to reply quicker by having that option in the notifications pull-down.
The mod I was looking for is the one in the Codename Android ROM, and I wasn't looking for apps like GO SMS or Handcent or anything like that.
Thanks!
