browse for ring tone now missing?

[ulao]

I used aqua mail some time ago and it was the only mail app that allowed me to choose an mp3 form a folder for a ring tone. Now I'm coming back to aqua mail and I see the feature is missing?

If you refer to the option to pick from any folder, that's and OS/3rd party application thing.
Did you change the OS or removed a file manager application?

Well I still have this option for other apps. I sure would like to know how to make it work again. Basically I need it so that I know what type of mail I receive. Playing some chime is not going to help me identify it where a well known song segment will.

I have recently upgraded to 4.2.2. Do you know enough about how this works? There must be a way to get that option back?

[jcasares]

What you might have done is chose a default for choosing a ringtone in Aquamail. If this is the case in Application Management for the AquaMail app you can clear the defaults.

I did the clear data and all setting were reset. I then added a new account and went right to special settings and hit ringtone. It brought me to the default tones screen again

Not data, "DEFAULTS".

Galaxy Nexus, 4.2.2, stock firmware, screenshots below. As you can see, that feature was not removed (I'd be really stupid to, why?)

So normally I use file manager for that option. out of fun I installed es file manager. now I get all 3 options. Go figure...
