No response
Additional information
My contacts are saved to the device and are therefore shared with other apps.
I posted this issue to Reddit asking for help, in case I was doing something incorrectly, and there was no response after a few days.
- Was this group created in Fossify Contacts, or just edited here?
- Have you only checked if the app says that ringtone is set to None, or the phone also rings with your default ringtone?
- Due to an LineageOS update issue I had to wipe my phone. My contacts were restored from a Fossify Contracts backup file. This morning, I created a test group and was unable to set a ring tone.
- My phone settings have the default ring tone set to None. When I open the .vcf file in a text editor I see that the ring tone is set on individual contacts per the settings prior to my having to wipe my phone. I noticed the issue when I created a new group and the assigned ring tone did not play when I received a call from a member of the new group.

Currently, all groups created in Fossify Contacts are private (unless created on Google-synced contact storage), so setting ringtone won't work due to this bug: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Contacts/issues/61.
However, there's a pull request to add the possibility of adding public groups in Fossify Contacts and custom ringtones should work in them: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Contacts/pull/97. If it will be merged in the next version of the app, you should be able to set the ringtone then.
