Notification Sound Problem After Flashing to Kit Kat

[steve2526]

Yesterday I flashed the Liquidsmooth 4.4 ROM on my ATT Galaxy S3 and restored my apps using Titanium Backup.  Now, I'm having a problem with the notification ringtone.

I set the mp3 ringtone for all my email accounts and the smart inbox, but Aqua Mail keeps going back to a "file" that is just a couple of numbers. 

The vibration and LED settings work, so I'm getting notifications without the audio.

I've re-applied the ringtone several times, but always with the same result of reverting back to the unknown number file.

Never restore with TB after switching to a custom rom. It will very often lead to those strange scenarios.
Uninstall AM, reinstall it and see if the problem persists. If it persists, you will have to factory reset your s3.

This is NOT an AM problem.

This is NOT an AM problem.

You're right Dirk...I reinstalled AM and same issue.  Posting now to the ROM thread on xda-developers.

Here's where AM takes me when I click on the ringtone setting.

Thanks

And for the record (so you can pass it onto those custom ROM developers):

Android has a system component called RingtonePreference, and that's what I'm using. The exact options I'm setting are:

            android:ringtoneType="notification"
            android:showSilent="true"

And a broken system component is, by definition, a system bug.

Problem solved.  The ringtone I was using ended up in the ringtone folder on my phone.  After moving it to the notifications folder it still shows up in the notification sound setting. 

DOH!
