Assign custom ringtone to contacts

[krishnansasikumar]

I updated my phone to Nougat by sideloading the update. Everythings fine except for one small problem.

I'm unable to assign ringtones from my playlists to contacts. I used to do this till MM. Now there is no option to search outside of the built-in tones. I could assign one song as the default ringtone, but not to individual contacts.

Any help here.

I don't recall that in Marshmallow - are you sure you were using the default Contacts and dialer apps?

 

[krishnansasikumar]

Yes. Default apps.

If might have something to do with the file manager I was using at that time. It was an non play store app. Let me install that again and see if it works

You should be able to do that through the dialer app. Open a Contacts card and tap the 3 stacked dots in the top right corner to get to the right menu. I get options to search in Zedge or Total Commander (file manager) for ringtones.

Yes. It just needed the right file manager app.

Issue resolved.
