Different text message notification sounds for different contacts.

[MikeS1971]

For every smart phone I've owned since my first Droid, I was able to set different notification sounds for different contacts. For some reason I cant figure how to do this on my G4. On my Note 2, under contacts, you can specify a call ringtone and a notification sound for different contacts. I don't see that on my G4. This is really important to me since I set a specific text notification for my son and for any alerts from the alarm company for my home so I can which to look at right away and which I can ignore for a little while without looking at the phone.

Can the G4 do this in stock form? Can I download an app to do this for me?

Thanks,

I use this 3rd party app for notifications and you can add by contact with it...

Many aftermarket text apps allow custom tones for individual contacts. Handcent, Chomp and Textra are a few forum favorites that have it.
For years I used Ringo to do it. They've got a free and paid version and it still worked on my G2 with 4.4.4 but I haven't tried it on lollipop
