A Few Questions - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I add ringtones to this phone?
Loving this swipe keyboard thing! Very cool.

Create a folder named Ringtones and copy mp3 files to it.

Another quick question: On my iPhone 4, I used to be able to stream videos easily using an app called Air Video (even across my data connection after forwarding a port) and it used to work flawlessly.
Is there anything similar in the Android world that's just as easy to configure and use?

If you want them to appear as if they are native Android ring tones put them in media/audio/ringtones.

FYI, that's not necessary. Mediaserver will find them in Ringtones, Alarms, and Notifications folders at the root level of sdcard/.

If you mean stream from a PC to your phone, you can do this very well over ftp with an app that offers a client such as ES File Explorer.

Thanks I'll try this out soon :good:

Picture Question

Hello guys, my dad has just bought a nexus 7, and I must admit it is a really nice device.
However there are some pictures on it and we cant find how to delete them, i have even been in the system files using astro.
I have also hooked it up to a computer and still cant find them, however they show up in the gallery of the device.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Showing nothing in there, been and had a look in there already thinking it was in there
maybe its pictures that have been uploaded to g+/picasa, they will show in the gallery even though they arent in your device.
You can delete pictures using the stock gallery app. Open the picture then tap on it and you should see a trash icon at the top right. If they are in an album, just long-press on it to see the trash icon.

Disable syncing of Google Photos in settings/accounts/Google.
Then, delete the cache folder in/sdcard/Pictures. That's where they are stored.

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.

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 ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers 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)

Removing bloat, messed up

I was removing some bloat after rooting, and everything I removed seems fine except one thing. Whenever I get an email, and pull down the notification bar and click on it directly, my email app force closes(using stock google app). If I go to the email app itself and then view the email, it's fine. Does anyone have any idea what the apk I removed that could have caused this,and if so does anyone have a backup they can upload, thanks!!

Do you happen to have the apk, or know where I can get it?
I downloaded the magazineapp, that didn't seem to fix it, I think I'll just re install the original EMAIL client APK, does anyone out there have that or a link to it?
This is driving me crazy, text message notifications don't seem to bother it, and I can set my emails to not notify in the notifaction bar and then they work perfectly when I go to open them. But if I set them to show in notification bar(which i need for my work exchange server) it says sorry, email has closed. Even if I don't pull look at the notification, and go directly to the email, it closes on the first try, the second time is fine

Have you tried booting into the stock recovery and clearing cache?
yes, same problems
I'm having the same issue. Using stock email app, connected to exchange 2007 server and keep getting weird force closes when opening items from the notification window. I've been going through unfreezing apps 1 by 1 but so far no joy.

Use a file explorer and drop the apk in the system/app folder and change permissions to match other files in that folder.

After getting FC with Exchange account after freezing a variety of apps in TiBu (generally the same ones frozen on my VZW S4), I've had to go back to defrosting everything, and only "Turn off" via application manger. I could never quite figure out which one(s) were causing it, but Exchange wanted the magazine app, Ant, and other what would seem entirely unrelated apps to be enabled. As much as I hate crap running that I neither use or want, the Note 3 has so much RAM and horsepower that it really doesn't seem to matter.

Did you have the Magazine app frozen. That is one of the few apps that I ran into that caused Exchange to FC.

Sounds (ringtones/notifications)

Hi,
All I was curious what is the easiest way to add old sounds (ringtones and notifications) from older android OS's to the 6P?
I don't really like the new sounds and I wanted to bulk a bunch of sounds into the system from my old phones ROM.
Thanks J
Just save them to ringtones in device memory, easy

I have been using a app called MP3 Cutter/Ringtone Maker. It lets you set MP3 files as ringtones or notification. Then they show up available in the OS.
You can use rocket player to add your ringtone. I'm not sure of other players offer that function but I know rocket player will work.

Are you rooted? Someone posted a zip of ringtones and notifications. I can find the link or post the zip if need be.
I'm using Rings Extended for years now. Small, reliable and audio files can be stored wherever you want.
Just copy your ringtones with any file manager into the "Ringtones" folder in the internal storage.
Same as notifications, just copy them to "Notifications" into your internal storage.
You can do it also with a PC.

Rocket player is a free app and will work for what you need. Long press on the song select ringtone.
I put in rocket player , the app says it cost me money either by credit card or pay pal,
Have I got the right app???

It's not the phones fault, it's the OS not recognizing it as a ringtone. Address it from that point and you might find a solution.

Help: HTC M8 Music app on HTC 10?

I didn't know where to post this so here goes...
My wife wants the HTC Music app that came off of the M8 on her HTC10. I was able to find the M8's .apk's but every time I try to install the music .apk I get the following error.

Now, I know what you're thinking... just get a different app. Believe me when I say, I already tried...lol
So, Java wizards - what's the issue here?

Your wife is right to demand the HTC music app. I bought the HTC 10 and I'm really disappointed in the lack of HTC apps, gone is the gallery, gone is the music app and widgets, gone is the calendar app and widgets gone is the car app, I've replaced all except the car app, so thanks for this thread
And if anyone has the latest HTC car apk would be much appreciated

Make sure you allow "apps from unknown sources" in your settings and that you're trying to open the app from a file manager (I've had trouble sometimes just installing an apk from Downloads)
