Custom Ringtone

Post by Doug W. »

Does EssentialPIM for Android support custom ringtones? If so, I could not find it. I was using Outlook on the desktop and VCOrganizer on my phone which supported this feature. I have a couple people that I created custom ringtones for. If I am busy, I ignore phone calls with the normal ringtone, but if my boss or big boss (wife) call who each had a different custom ringtone, I can choose to pick up the call.

No, not at the moment, unfortunately. We will explore implementation of such possibility. Thanks!

I have to ask again, could you please support individual ringtone? Outlook with VCOrganizer supported this feature. I assigned my wife her own ringtone. I like to know she is calling without having to look at my phone. I also had a different ringtone for my manager, but now that I am retired it is not needed for work. The phone uses the built-in Contacts application. If I create a user in Contacts, then I can add a unique ringtone to that user. If EPIM adds the user to contacts, then I am not allowed to edit that contact, so I cannot add an individual ringtone. Your application would have to do it.

Custom ringtones should be set in the system dialer as it's the app responsible for handling incoming calls.

This would be helpful for me as well.
I can set custom ringtones if I store contacts on my phone or if I use google contacts.
Contacts connected to AEPIM, on the other hand, do not allow it. Pity!

If you choose to use EPIM system account for contacts, you should be able to set up custom ringtones for EPIM contacts in your Android dialer.
