Custom ringtone?

I know this is gonna sound pretty stupid but I can't figure out how to make custom ringtones on my Nexus 4. On my Galaxy Nexus I would just put a file of an mp3 in the ringtone folder. I'm doing the same thing but when I go to change the ringtone the file that I put in there won't appear in the default choices.

Is that really the only way? With an app?

yes.

If you don't already have a folder named "Ringtones" at the root level of sdcard, create one and put your mp3 files in it. Same for "Notifications".

There is no need to use an app for this. I have 3 or 4 custom ringtones in my nexus 4 and I only put the mp3 in the ringtones folder and it works...:good:

i use the app ringo PRO! well worth it

That's what I did. I put it in the ringtones folder in the sd card. Exactly the same way I have done it since the nexus one but it won't show up when I'm going to the ring tones in sound settings. Do I have to reboot or something ?

Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but I cut my mp3 to the 30 second clip I want and then put that in my ringtone folder. It works fine for me without the need of an app.

Had no idea about the /Ringtones/ folder. Seems like Google should of had that since the beginning rather than have people randomly know this by adding a new folder
either way, rings extended is a pretty good app only 101 K. less than 1MB

Rebooting will do it... or just a little time for the mediaserver to discover it.

Maybe rebooting it's what you need

In that case rings extended is better no rebooting needed

In case you are running Linux, take a look at the following post to enable MTP mode (otherwise, you will never be able to see the existing Notification and Ringtones folders).

Hi
kindly put your custom ringtone to /ringtones folder and or /notifications folder (.mp3 or/ m4peg format)

Is there any way to make notification sounds louder on stock ROM?

Hi I've only had my nexus 4 for a few days and I love it. The only problem I have is that I struggle to hear SMS messages. The phone is very loud for calls but not for messages. Is there an app or setting that I can change to fix this? I'm on stock ROM atm.
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to be rooted to increase volume levels with a mod bro. You might look here if this helps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.liquidsoft.entertainment.volume.booster&hl=nl.

Another non root way is to download louder notification sounds and have a file manager app. To change sound go to sound in settings and use the file manger app just once in the pop up and find the notification sound you downloaded in the download folder of your SD partition.

Hi guys thanks for the replies. I've found an app that let's you browse tones and then set them from within the app. For anyone interested its called ZEDGE and is available on the play store.

[Q] Changing system sounds

I'm trying to change the system sounds. I'm using root explorer to manually change the sounds in the folder system/media/audio/ui. I got the lock sound, battery sound, and camera sound to change, but for some reason the unlock sound will not change. I've rebooted and I've tried setting the correct permissions.
I'm not sure if some sort of cache needs to be cleared or what.
It should just be named Unlock.ogg correct? Let me know if I'm screwing something up .

I've tried using the app Ultimate sound control pro and I still can't change the unlock sound.

[Q] Iphone keyclick sounds?

Ive seen so many posts that are old enough to be dropped but i would still love the keyboard sounds from the iphone for my phone, would anyone be able to get ahold of some or have any? i found one but the sounds were from an ipad and did not work correctly

try these

im guessing these are sound files in text format?, and thankyou! ill give them a shot

Yes, rename them as ogg, xda won't let me upload ogg format.

I'm sorry to sound like a n00b but how would I go about changing the keyboard clicking sound??
Which directory do I put the sounds in?
TIA
Edit: I found the directory and there is various sound for keyboard clicking.
Which one do I change?

You can rename it "KeypressStandard.ogg" and put it "/system/media/audio/ui/", remember to fix the permission to rw-r-r.

[Q] Notification Ring

I know how to download a sound and use it for a ringtone but the notification sounds come from a different place. How do i get a sound I downloaded to use on notifications? Or should I say, where do I store it on my phone.
Thanks

If you are rooted, put them in \system\media\audio\notifications. You can also use the file folders on SDcard0 titled notifications, ringtones, and alarms for the various types of sounds if you aren't rooted or don't know how to get to the root directory.
