Is there any way to create custom SMS notification sounds or length?
This was my number one complaint with the iPhone and looks like to be the same way on the Atrix.
There are any number of ringtone making apps in the market, just search for Ringtone Maker.
If you mean be more selective and pick ringtones for each user and the like, there is an app called Ringo Pro or the like that lets you set custom ringtones, notification noises and even LED colors for different people.
Thank you!
I use ring extended to be able to select any audio file on the sd card and ringdroid to edit length or use only certain parts of those audio files, ex.. the course of the song.

Or just drop any mp3 you want to use as a notification sound (SMS) into sdcard/media/audio/notifications
They'll show up in the list and work perfectly.
LightFlow - LED Control
works well and very customizable
Is there a way to change the ringtone for the received sms but only from one specific contact?
You can in Handcent SMS. Click on a message thread and in the top right corner you can edit that contact's settings.

Yea.... that's my favorite thing about the Atrix, or Android for that matter, among MANY favorites about the Atrix/Android. You don't need to be running a version of iOS that's currently jailbreakable.... use iPhone Explorer or a similar program to hunt around the core system files of the phone to figure out exactly what M4A file is the sound you're looking to replace.... then find the sound you want to replace that one, and make sure it's in M4A format and trimmed down enough that the iPhone will recognize it for some stupid freakin reason, just to get it to work. And then if you update iOS again... you gotta do the whole thing all over. And then Apple pulls a **** move and releases SMS tones that go on FOREVER! WTF Apple.... make up your mind!
But yea.... SOOOOO glad i got away from that boat.

For those (like me) who want to use "Linda" to tell us other things (like texts, missed calls, etc) this is where he got it from.

Select "Linda" for the voice and "Old Robot" for effect.
Thanks I was totally just looking for this!

Create your file and put it on your SD card media/audio/notifications
Then open the messaging app go to settings, notification settings, select ringtone
For Handcent or similar do the same thing.
That's all
Will try when I get home,
Thank you very much.

Great find
This great !!
Thank you ...I been looking for something like this ..
I have a few idea for it ...
This works great!!!! You have to make sure when you preview the voice you hear exactly what you typed. If you hear the ad for you to purchase the program just replay the voice until you only hear what you typed. Then export to desktop. I downloaded a free wav to mp3 converter to convert the wavs to mp3 and ogg.
I used ringdroid to save the mp3's to the proper folders on the phone. My new notifications are:
Gmail "Jimmy, you have mail"
Hotmail "Jimmy, you have hot mail"
Message/sms "Jimmy, you have a message"
Voicemail "Jimmy, you have a voicemail"
Shutdown "Good bye Jimmy, Shut down will begin in five, four, three, two, one, shut down process is complete. Have a nice day"
Here is the link to the free converter. Works very well.

If you are creating a long shutdown message you can trick the program if you do not use periods. Instead, use a comma so the program will not insert an add in between.
Here is an example of a shutdown sound I made.

Here is the .ogg file if anyone wants it. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=68AQMREX
Sounds sweet, ill use it.

First you will need to download the wav to mp3 converted that I posted in my reply above. After you convert it to a .mp3 you can name it whatever you like. Put the new ringtone on the root of your phone. You can make a new folder called "ringtones" if you like. Now your phone will be able to use that new sound as a notification sound or a ringtone.
Bootup sound is PowerOn.wav in system/etc shutdown is shutdown.ogg in the system/media/audio/ui

Wither the phone is on silent/vibrate or not, the camera always makes the shutter sound. When recording a video, it always makes a bloop when you hit record and stop. There is no setting for disabling this like my previous phones have had.
Without using a third party camera app (I've seen people on other forums suggest Cool FX which is not free) is there a way to disable this?
Try searching around in the system for a .ogg file that could be the shutter sound and renaming it.

I use an app called "Volume Toggle(free)". I set a custom profile and use an on screen widget to adjust the profiles. Set the system volume to 0. This will also get rid of the DTMF tones, unlock clicks, and other UI sounds.

What app do you recommend for browsing the files? The built in one doesn't seem to do much good.

This works great, but it's a bummer I have to run a third party app to do it. It is nice however that there IS a third party app to do it.
Yeah. It was one thing that bothered me coming from BlackBerry. Every app was customizable with sound, volume, vibration, led, etc. It was great.

Could try SilentSnap:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/silentsnap-camera-free/com.blundell
Have heard some concerns, but it does work (After using it, double check your alarm volumes.. evidently the camera sound is DIRECTLY tied to the alarm volume... making an alternative solution to simply turn your alarm volume all the way down I believe...
HTH!
*Edit:
Looks like .ogg file is in /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg
Don't know what affect it would ahve to delete it.. but you could always rename it, and then make a copy of VideoRecord.ogg (which I believe is SILENT), and rename the copy to camera_click.ogg
Should work *shrug*

What would be the best way to find that file? What app are you using to browser the phone file system?
There is actually an easier way of doing this. Here's how to have a silent camera, including the autofocus sound with no external apps or editing/renaming system files. Turn your phone to silent on the lock screen (or use the rocker to go to no sound), then go into your native alarm app and uncheck "Alarm in silent mode."
There ya go. Turn down your phones volume and you have no camera sounds. easy easy
Just remember to turn the sound back on or your alarm will not Alarm
That doesn't sound like a solution. Having to modify your sound settings everytime you want to take a picture, then again when you want an alarm to go off? I would rather someone tell me what program I can use to find the sound file and modify it.

To delete/rename the file, you'll want to use Root Explorer. This requires you be rooted, which I'm just guessing from the nature of your posts you're not (since Root Explorer is often one of the first apps someone gets when rooting).
It is rooted, I'm still figuring out what put on there as far as apps go. Looks like it's about $4.
I found a great solution. It's called SilentSnap. It disables all sound from the system when it opens it. It uses your normal camera and disables the shutter sound. Its free.

first, i noticed something that was really important to me and that was that you cant copy past a part of an sms like you could with the gs3.
it sucks because it was something i always bragged about to iphone users who had to copy the entire sms. if you guys have any ideas on how to be able to just copy a part of the texts like a home address and stuff.
second, all share control isnt working anymore which i understand considering theyre pushing watchon, however watch on doesnt have a track pad feature that can control the mouse on the samsung tv that you need when browsing the web.
is there any other app that has that feature or an add-on for watch on that would add that feature?
thanks for the help
no one know?
does no one know of any substitutes for these features?
I use goSMS and you can only copy entire message too. Know it doesn't help but might save you from trying it.

you can use an ugly hack to copy parts of messages - tap and hold the message, pick "forward", then use the normal selection controls to select and copy the parts of text you want.

Hello again everyone. As some of you might know, I have finally gotten my Nexus 7 to work with the gmate+ device. For those who have no idea what this is or what I'm talking about, gmate is a device that gives iOS/Android devices GSM functions (call/text, etc.) via bluetooth. Of course there is an app to be installed to the device to pair it and use the features. Unfortunately, the application for Android does not have the option to change ringtone and Nexus 7 does not have native settings for ringtone. So now, for SMS notifications, N7 will play notifications alert tone but when somebody is calling, no alert tone whatsoever. I have tried several ringtone apps but none worked so far. Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks and more power!
Anybody with any idea here?
:crying:

You can use Zedge to set default and contact ringtones. It says it's set when I try it, but I cannot test for a call.
All I can say is that it doesn't change the ringtone for the Android Device Manager remote ring.

Hi,
All I was curious what is the easiest way to add old sounds (ringtones and notifications) from older android OS's to the 6P?
I don't really like the new sounds and I wanted to bulk a bunch of sounds into the system from my old phones ROM.
Thanks J
Just save them to ringtones in device memory, easy

I have been using a app called MP3 Cutter/Ringtone Maker. It lets you set MP3 files as ringtones or notification. Then they show up available in the OS.
You can use rocket player to add your ringtone. I'm not sure of other players offer that function but I know rocket player will work.

Are you rooted? Someone posted a zip of ringtones and notifications. I can find the link or post the zip if need be.
I'm using Rings Extended for years now. Small, reliable and audio files can be stored wherever you want.
Just copy your ringtones with any file manager into the "Ringtones" folder in the internal storage.
Same as notifications, just copy them to "Notifications" into your internal storage.
You can do it also with a PC.

Rocket player is a free app and will work for what you need. Long press on the song select ringtone.
I put in rocket player , the app says it cost me money either by credit card or pay pal,
Have I got the right app???

It's not the phones fault, it's the OS not recognizing it as a ringtone. Address it from that point and you might find a solution.
