Well I tried copying everything on my SD card to my computer and Formatting my SD card through the phone, and then replacing all the backup files onto the SD card. This didn't solve anything. I tried uninstalling RingsExtended, Ringdroid, and Ringlert. This didn't solve anything either.
So I decided to just start fresh and delete all of the custom tones I was using and either redownload them through Ringlert or make them again/make new ones with Ringdroid. After making new ones using Ringdroid it will allow them to work just fine.


Ok I can't stop fiddling, but in this case it was a good thing. I have one clip that I'm using as my phone ringtone that I got through Ringlert (The Invader Zim Doom Song). But if I set this as my General Notification tone by using RingsExtended or through Ringlert itself, this ringtone will override the settings for Gmail and SMSPopup. I tested this with a few other things from Ringlert and it they all do the same thing. So that must have something to do with where they are stored, although it's a toplevel folder on the SD card.

But thankfully if I use Ringdroid to modify any of these audio files into a Ringtone/Notification they will then show up under the Default Android Ringtone/Notification picker, and if I set any of these newly edited tones for my General Notifcation tone then the others (Gmail and SMSpopup) will work correctly no matter if they are directly from Ringlert or edited through Ringdriod.


So if you are having any issues like this, try this and if this doesn't help then I'm at a loss. Try downloading Ringdroid and using that to make these sounds files into Ringtone/Notification tones. Once they have been edited they should show up when you use the default Android tone picker. And if it works for you the same way it did for me. This should solve your problem. Although if using the sound files you already have doesn't work. Try finding new ones and using Ringdroid on the new sound files and see if that makes a difference.

Best of luck!

I downloaded a ringtone for my phone, but it won't come up when I get to the options for the Notifications Ringtone. What do I do to get it there?

Same problem as op

I have the same issue as you. I want a separate tone for voicemail, e-mail, text, and other notifications. The vortex just doesn't want to do that. Yes you can silence all the notifications and then put individual ringtones for texts but as you said, you won't get any other notifications. I have even taken my phone down to the verizon store where they (at first) acted like they thought I was slow for not knowing how to change ringtones. My phone was passed around the store as they all tried to make it work. I've given up and all the other problems with this phone have made me start looking for another. I just wanted you to know that someone understood your problem and that you weren't alone.
:biggrin:
