Allowing certain contacts to ring when muted - Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)

Does anyone know of an app that works with the GS3 that will allow certain contacts to ring out loud even when the phone has been muted?
I tried one called My VIP Calls, but it either doesn't work with the GS3 or I didn't set it up right. Either way, I couldn't get it to work.
I am hoping someone here has used something that works with the GS3 and can point me in the right direction.
Thank You!!

I use tasker for this, I just make a profile that says incoming call from, and I select all the contacts, then have it play a sound. I then put my phone on silent. Works well.

Try selective silence. Free in Play store.

So I'm confused as to what's different from this and my G1 with 1.6. I have synced my contacts and when I go to contacts from the home screen I see them all (with the little g next to them), but when I try to assign a ringtone to an individual contact as I did on my G1, it takes me to an empty contact list with no option to see my contacts. What's going on? Already getting tired of ToughWhiz getting in the way of my Android experience.
Niceee....of all the things I had trouble on it was this... I feel dumb lol

Doesn't work from google contacts. To assign ringtones to fiddler contacts I'm using Ringdriod. Anyone else has any solutions for google contacts?

Ringo Lite. It's a PITA to have to install a separate app but it works perfectly.

Deleting one of those also causes the music player to only play one song them freeze up.

Groove ip works but not with the default dialer, was simply trying to streamline the look. It actually works really well, so right now I'm just asking more for improving aesthetics.

Well I don't think it does use stock dialer at all. Stock dialer uses verizons ish. Groove has its own operations and google voice to call and text just uses voice. I'm pretty sure u can take out the dialer and just use groove and voice

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.
Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.
When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.

Galaxy Gear Notification

Hey guys with the Gear. Did any of you find a way to get rid of the ongoing notification in the notif bar while its connected? Its just pretty annying and unnecessary. Thanks
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
I would like to know if anybody has been successful with this as well, although I assume it is only possible with root.
You need root for changes like that unless the app has an option to turn off the icon.
I can't believe this pos watch doesn't give gmail updates, I'm seriously thinking of returning it.
Off subject, but what's yalls thoughts about the gear? I like the idea but not sure it's worth the $300.00.

Depends on what you want to use it for.
I wanted it to use out jogging with a running app and to control my music and it works great for that.
It irritates me to no end that it won't give me gmail updates however.
IMHO it is WAY overpriced for the few things it actually does.

I made a call from my car today, the first thing my daughter said was "are you on a speakerphone??"
I guess it was legible, but not real great.
I had to uninstall Handcent after figuring out the watch doesn't work with it which really pissed me off.
That and no gmail updates makes me seriously considering a refund....

Does anyone else's watch take FOREVER to show a text after you have heard it come into the phone??

Can no longer “check in" on FB

I know this sounds silly but it's actually really bothering me, mostly because I can't figure out why it's not working.
When I had my phone stock unrooted I could check in on FB.
When I was stock rooted I could still check in on FB.
I debloated, installed xposed and wanam, added a modded launcher and now I can't check in.
What crazy is I have done almost all the same changes to my wife note 3 and she still can check in.
Only thing we have done different is the debloating.
Curious if anyone else has broke this after debloating?
Thanks

Probably one of the apps you froze. If you get it figured out let us know. But not logging into FB might be considered a feature by some.

Is this via the FB app or browser? If browser make sure you haven't disabled javascript. I temporarily turn off javascript when browsing XDA so it doesn't constantly refresh but it also breaks things.
In the android app

Check if there has been a update since you rooted that may have caused it. And try the normal, if you haven't already, reinstall and who's phone cache.

Nobody cares that u stopped by Costco to buy toilet paper. Wutever broke that "check in" feature did u a favor.
...im kidding bro. plz dont take offense. I just love giving facebookers a hard time. having said that, I appear to be the only person in the milky way galaxy without a facebook account so maybe I should be the one getting cracked on. im also the only person in the galaxy that still has a Myspace so im sorta cool right??

Ok so I figured out out has something to do with my settings. Because I logged into my wife's account on my device and the check in ability worked perfectly.
Now to try and figure out what setting is messed up on my device.

I don't know if u have enabled ur developer options but the last time I had a problem like that with fb it was because I had changed a setting called "don't keep activities" if it is checked u should uncheck it...if ur developer options are not activated then it has to be something else...hope this helps
