How do I customise ringtones in Android

[nuffznuff]

I've got my Priv (and very nice it is too, thank you!), but what I desperately miss from my BB10 is that I can customise alerts depending on who the messenger is, and what app.

Let's take a simple SMS. I have a default ringtone (let's call it SMS-A), but if my wife should send me a message, it will play SMS-B.

If she should phone, it would play PHONE-B, but should anyone else call, it would be PHONE-A.

If my son should send me a message on WhatsApp, it could play the piano intro from Skyfall. If my pal from Vietnam should call, it would play THAT BIT from the movie ("Gooooood Mmmorning Vietnam!").

The ringtones do not need to be the same (i.e. PHONE-A and SMS-A can be different). And on top of that, I can override the volume, depending on app and contact.

Is there anything on Android that can do that?

Phone purchased from Shop BlackBerry.

For calls, you have to go into contacts, select the contact you want to change, click the edit button and then the settings menu and you have the option to select what ringtone you want for that contact.

Other apps will have similar settings change options...I use Hangouts for SMS and messaging and you can go into each conversation and set up a custom notification sound.

Hi! As the user above me stated, individual messaging apps can do this for you. I used Textra, which had this feature.
