Hello how can I extend the sounds offer of builtin sound selector by own sounds?
For ringtones copying to /sdcard/ringtones or /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones is working pretty fine, but for SMSs and various notifications the offer is still limited to builtin sounds only. Don't know where should I copy my own sounds so they could be covered in that file listing,
Both /system/media/audio/notifications and /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications don't make any recognition (
As an alternative to this I'd accept an 3rd party audio picker able to browse any sdcard locations and select any of supported formats. The condition however is so that it could play a sound immediately after selecting just like builtin picker does...THX

didnot know that, thanks:victory:
Every time I'm downloading a new notification sound, I cannot set it as a individual tone. Phone plays stupid default 'Crystal' sound, despite of my setting in Sounds and Notifications card. And yes, Contact ringtone option is disabled. Please help.
Thanks
Hi, I want to add different sounds on different app notifications, for example: when receiving notification from home security app that someone opened door or something (if security app doesn't have option to ring instead of short default notification) use music or ring the device instead of default notification sound, I hope you get what I mean
Edit: found MegaSound, idk how to close thread
thanks for the heads up
will try that app
I have a Moto Z2 Play with Nougat 7.1.1
I jumped directly from Kitkat (Cyanogen OS which my old phone had and which I never updated as it was very buggy update to Lollipop and I wanted for MM which never came) to Nougat when I bought the Z2 Play. It's mostly a positive change except for the notification settings. I know it's been discussed at length how Google messed up the notification settings on Lollipop and the trend has continued in Nougat too.
So now to my issue with it. I have currently set ringtones at full volume and Notifications on silent by selecting default notification ringtone as "None" as I don't want to hear a chime on every notification that comes through as most of my notifications are News feeds. Whenever l recieve a notification my phone vibrates so I assume there's no setting to customize Silent/Vibrate by default for all notifications and also individual app unless the app itself has implemented it in its settings like Textra and merely selecting no notification ringtone sets it to vibrate unless I go to individual app settings and set on the toggle "Show Silently". It is quite convoluted really.
Now what I want to achieve with the way my phone acts on notifications is something like this:
I want the to set a default notification ringtone and I want to set some notifications to vibrate and some to silent which I simply cannot do unless the app provides its own settings of silent/vibrate.
I want the Reminders and Events set in the Google and Calendar app to have a notification ringtone even when in default settings I have set notification ringtone to "None" but they rely on default notification settings. Some apps like Textra provide their own so is it really hard for Google's own app to do the same. This way I can set a different ringtone too than the default one. So I would like to know of a way to do so.
And honestly why aren't Reminders relying on Alarm sound i.e. if alarms are allowed to make a sound Reminders should too. It is really frustrating. I missed a reminder like this today because I wasn't aware of the convoluted way Nougat handles all this.
Kitkat had the best implementation. It had a separate slider for notification sounds too.(Cyanogen OS had one).
What I think is a better implementation is allowing to set a default ringtone in Sounds settings and then in individual app's notification settings separating the vibrate part from the "Show Silently" option. This would allow me to achieve my goal of having a ringtone for some apps, vibrate for some and silent for some. And it would solve my problem of having a sound when I have set a reminder in the Google app and have set default notification ringtone to "None".
The best implementation of course would be to set a default silent, vibrate or ringtone for notifications and then have granular control for each app i.e have a list of all apps and allowing to choose from Silent, Vibrate or ringtone for each app which would override the default.
Also why not allow to change the default sound that the volume rockers control. In Google's own YouTube app volume rockers change the notification volume and not the media volume which is again very frustrating.
Sorry for the long post and rant. I really wish Google fixes this but I doubt it.
The question about volume separation between ringtone and notifications for Android devices has been around for a while with many answers but none of them work all the time, but there's a tricky workaround to achieve that without root privileges. All you need is well-known apps such as Volume Butler + App Volume Control it's important to install both of them. Next steps are simple install Volume Butler, launch it and allow all requested permissions and create a profile, in the app Settings place a tick in Ring volume box under Volumes. Most of the articles recommend installing single app which is Volume Butler or App Volume Control, etc... but it's better to have them both, now after you installed Volume Butler go on and install App Volume Control from Google Play Store, launch it and allow all requested permissions as well.
Hence comes the trick, usually after installing only Volume Butler once you receive a call it increases the Ring volume to your profile Settings but after the call ends then Notifications volume gets merged to Ring volume again and Notifications sound is loud again, so you need to re-configure Volume Butler profile which is annoying after each call, that's why you need App Volume Control which allows you to create rules for every app separately and you can use that app as a trigger, let's say you use Telegram a lot, launch App Volume Control locate Telegram click on it and click on Notification line and set volume percentage, in the next tab "when closing" choose --> do not change and click Save. Now when you receive a call it activates Volume Butler automatically with your volume Settings and after you end a call when you receive a message in Telegram it triggers volume setting from App Volume Control so the sound appears more quiet due to your preferred settings. And You can set such trigger rules to any apps on your phone and as many as you want.
P.S.
I have tested this on Pixel 6 and it works just fine and should work on other devices as well. I also recommend allowing these apps to be run unrestricted, you can do that in the phone's Settings, they won't use much battery and it may prevent apps to be killed in the background so they could continue doing their tasks and be stable.
UPDATE
I have managed to separate ringtone & notifications sound with only App Volume Control, no need in extra apps to relaunch the profile or something like that, it works flawlessly, all you need is to open App Volume Control and navigate to System apps, locate Phone, phone calls, and phone services and messages, set the desired sound you want for each, in case with Phone set the same volume for ringtone and notification when starting and when closing leave the option Restore Old Volume. Now when you receive a call it will play loud and once you hang up the next message you receive let's say on Telegram it will trigger volume notification settings for Telegram. That's it.
You can also use this app. It used to increase the notification volume sometimes after a phone call, but lately it hasn't been doing that for me. But if it does you can just re-activate your profile with 2 taps. Quite easy. Recently, however, they did make it subscription based but you can do a $0.99/Year one so it's not bad.
