New to nexus android help - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I change ringtone from a stock one to one of my music I've downloaded onto the nexus4. Tried everything is it something obvious.

If you did a search you'd find the answer pretty quick but I'll play along..
Download pretty much any ringtone maker app. I use "Mp3 music ringtone - droidring"

Put the file in your ringtone folder.

I use es file explorer and when I use the player I can set it to whatever option.

better use MIUI Music player.... It has shake to change feature too. And about changing your Google Music (The one with Creed), you will require Root Explorer. Just go into System/App and remove (or take out) Music.apk and replace with any other music player you want. Reboot.
My preference, use MIUI Music player. Search google, it is easily available. And it even shows "Music" as it's name tag (Unlike most music players like NRG which show "NRG Music Player").
Your choice

I'm not sure about some details. maybe I have to ask some question.
1. are you rename your apk with same name as the original music player?
2. can you find music.odex in /system/app ?
if the numer one is yes, rename it to anything you want. set the permission rw-r--r-- then reboot your phone.
if the number two is yes, delete it.
i did both.. Did not work dude!!!

[Q] ringtones

Does anyone know if there is a simple way of making .mp3 a ringtone? Or do I have to convert the .mp3 file into something else for it to work? Tried settings/sound/ringtone and I didn't see any of the songs I downloaded on my phone.

Put them in the ringtones folder or use an app like Rings Extended.

[Q] Google Music Offline Location

Hi Guys,
I have searched the forum for possible answers to my problem, but couldn't find any satisfing answer.
I have uploaded all my music to Google Music, but as I only have 1GB of mobile data in my plan, and no WiFi at work, I decided to save some of my albums on my internal storage, so I can play it offline.
There is an option called "Choose on device music" which when you choose it, saves the files to make them available offline, but the problem is I can't find it anywhere on my device.
I have found possible locations in Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache - this is what google search gave me, but there is nothing in that folder. I have used the ES File Explorer with root roghts, as I thought, maybe its hidden somehow, but the result was exactly the same.
Could anyone pleas help me and tell me where the music stored from Google Music is located? And how does it exactly work? Does it simply download all the files you choose to your storage?
My temporary solution was just simply copying the music from my laptop using the USB cable.
Thanks in advance.
When you pin it to your device you play it right from the Google play music app. There is an option for on device music only in the settings menu, use this when you want to see your downloaded music.

Yes,I know that, but my problem is, I'd I make it available offline then I need to wait for it to download and I'm wondering what it's the location of the downloaded files, because the one that I mentioned in the OP doesn't seem to be right.I'm also suffering it's the music made available offline takes as much since on the device as the same music chipped straight from my pc.

What exactly are you wanting to do? I guess I don't understand why you need to know where its stored. I'm not trying to be a wise guy.

check this path. And musics are randomly numbered.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I would like to remove it when not needed anymore and also other music players can't find those stored albums.

There is a large variety of mp3 ringtone maker apps on the market for free. Also there probably already some kind of ringtone for pretty much any song out there, on the Zedge app - or at least most of them..

make a...
just make a ringtone folder...'Ringtone' copy your mp3s in there
If you don't already have a folder at '/media/audio/ringtones' create one and put them there. Same for 'notifications'. Note that you do not NEED to put them there, You can put 'ringtones' and 'notifications' folders at the root level of the sdcard and the media scanner will still find them, but that is the designated location.

Adding a song from Google music to storage??

I would like to create a ringtone however any song I purchased on Google music is not available on my storage. Any way I can access it so I can create one?

Look through your files with a file managing app and move it to a mother music folder. I don't know if you'll even find it because I haven't tried. But I'd like to know a 100 percent legit option too

No luck with that bud

you need to be rooted and need a file browser that can access root folders
got to data/data/com.google.android.music/files/music
they don't have proper names or date accessed info so if you have lots of files like me... good luck

You can download google music manager on your pc and download your library. Then copy and paste to your s4. If you look for the songs in root explorer they show up as numbers if I remember right.

Find the song in your music player and click the pin button beside it.
That saves it to your phone. Done.
If you want use an app to make it a ringtone make sure you have root and use root explorer or anything root capable file explorer and navigate to data -> data -> com.google.android.music -> files -> music -> (artist/album)
Copy that file to your default Music folder that doesn't require root and wella any ringtone app should be able to find it.
OR
do as someone else suggested and download it to to your computer from Google Play Music then manually copy it over
