Is anyone else frustrated since they did that major update a while back it took away a lot of our customization doesn't make any sense what's the point of being able to set your wallpaper your lock screen to your own photo if you can't even adjust the color or the size of your clock or be able to adjust where you want your weather and your time to be with the photo you've chosen or be able to set a sound for your text messages that are different from your notifications from your media YouTube notifications or security camera notifications!!!!

LockStar is a Good Lock Module that allows you to do all the customizations you described, though you can already do many of them (such as changing clock size/color) even without Lockstar. Long press the lock screen to enter edit mode, then selwct the clock to see all options.

Notification sounds can be changed by first enabiling notification categories (Settings > Notifications > Advanced settings and toggling on "Manage notification categories for each app,) then going to Settings > Apps> (specific app > Notifications > Change each category you want a different sound for.

On Note20Ultra I tried so hard to make two specific phone contacts have their own notification sound and it seems Samsung or any App is going to allow this.

They'll message me an important note to be ready to go in 15 minutes and I get nothing if I don't randomly check for messages.
News feeds blip a sound.
I don't want the same noise for message alerts.
Why Samsung makes this so difficult is amazing.
I could make an App to simply pick the noise and apply it to message for these people.
And repeat noise till message is opened.
I deleted Good Lock for not offering a simple option.
They make you change settings w/o seeing preview of what is changed first. Then forced to go back several times to get anything right as wanted.
Here's a box of 64 Crayola, color sky at will blindfolded. It's cute if you're 5.
Cheers

Setting custom contact notification sounds in Google Message: Open conversation with the desired contact > three dots, top right > details > notifications > sound > set desired tone

Setting custom contact ringtones: Open contact card in Dialer or Contacts app > More > Change Ringtone/Vibration > set desired tone

Setting custom per-app notification sounds: First, enable notification categories by going to Settings > Notifications > Advanced settings and toggling on "Manage notification categories for each app." 

Then, go to settings > Apps > (specific desired app) > Notifications > Categories > Change each category you want a different sound for.
