For anyone thats intrested, this has annoyed me for some time, I did this on my X3 NFC (12.5) and now the F3 5G (13)
# its a work around for non root users #
>Make sure u have a back up of ringtones and notifications on your PC
>Factory reset the device
>Startup without logging into anything or restoring anything (Key here)
>Once into phone and your set to basic and ready to go, plug into PC copy over all Tones required to relavant folders onto phone
>Open the settings for changing tones, everything here now works
I loaded all tones i could ever want inc msg tones, ringtones even for callers, just keep selecting a ringtone, going back select again etc, works for both sims until your ringtone list shows them all.
>Set ones u want - I blank the main notification tone to nothing (manually change them later in apps before restoring though) < at this point i would suggest apps like whatsapp / Discord / Steam chat / Line, you change the tones now before going any further or you may not be able to change them later and they get set to the master notification thats set.
>Lastly Setup Mi & google accounts as required and restore what you want.
OK this is a very long winded route i admit, but works each time, however, minute you change the themes app or update stuff you maybe locked out once again. So i find this could be a 1 hit wonder till i get around to unlocking the bootloader and installing recovery program.
After spending an hr setting things back up all tones are still there and changable all the time - still working around the silly independant msg tone
