Custom ringtones - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there another way for me to add a custom mp3 rather than dropping the file into the "Ringtones" folder, for some reason i cant see the mp3 in the list when i try to select it..
Never had this problem before

Thanks for the response mate..
Fixed it by converting the mp3 to an ogg file and adding it to system/media/audio/ringtones

The only problem with that is it will get wiped when you flash a new ROM since its in system

Put it in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
It will behave exactly the same as in system but won't get lost if you change ROM

Problems with fascinate music player

I flashed the signed_music.zip using clockwork. It loads and plays music fine but if I go into astro and select an mp3 I'm getting file type mp3 no found. Any ideas?

Why dont you just install it from astro instead of flashing it

Use Root Explorer and just copy it to /system/app folder then reboot,or just install it regular with Astro or other file manager.One of these methods will work.
Where did you find a zip for the music player?

Would like to know this as well. If you can provide a link that would be great.
I think his question is about picking an MP3 from the explorer, not trying to install the player.
Chances are that the Fascinate player is named MusicPlayer.apk. If you rename it Music.apk, like the original player was named, it might work. However, I believe that will break your Disc View.
Illogic is right, I'm having problems with file explorer/astro programs registering the mp3 file extension to fascinate muic player. As far as the other questions its not an apk file. When I get to a computer ill post the link for the zip, it came from the rom section from one of the rom builds. Oh and illogic, disk view never worked for me, any ideas? Thanks guys

I guess pushing the fascinate player APK isn't enough to associate MP3s with it. I hope later versions of Android will allow you to "Open with..." like you can in Windows.
I fixed disc view a week or so ago and, as far as I know, my ROM is the only one with it working currently. I don't mind sharing my seven herbs and spices though. Go through my thread and you'll find a .so file I uploaded, push that to /system/lib/ and make sure the Music player apk is actually named MusicPlayer.apk. If it's named Music.apk like it was the last time I checked Epic Experience, it will not work even with the lib.

how to get custom ringtones on phone?

on stock 4.2.1, can you just put the mp3 files in ringtones folder?

Yes, that's all you have to do.
where is the ringtones folder located? i copied a folder i had on my computer called ringtones over to the root directory as there was not one that already existed however i am still having to use rings extended to use custom ringtones.
You can open a ringtone file using music player and in its menu you have the "make as ringtone" option
Another easy way. Use zedge app. Dload rings!!!

4.4 stock sounds folder dump needed

Could anyone dump the stock unmodified /system/media/audio folder for me?
My sounds got messed up after trying to add my previous ogg files and I'm trying to restore it and see what I did wrong to mess this up.
I was hoping to get the list of all the original sounds and maybe someone could upload them in a zip file here.
Thanks!

Ty Sir!
I derped with my sounds too. Thanks for putting this up!
Where you able to fix yours?? Still running into the same issue with them not working even when I copy the ogg files to the correct folder.
They copy fine and show in sound settings but they won't play but a default chime

The files copied, and I'm still tinkering with permissions that possibly need to be aligned, but nothing plays on the device. File sizes match up with what I saw previously, but Google Play returns with "Couldn't play the track you requested."
Same here... Tried to give it full perm but that didn't work.
Interestingly the same files will play perfectly if moved to another folder...
I'm really hoping not to have to wipe!!!

I got it! Not only is it the file permissions, but the folder permissions have to be correct too. I found the audio folder needs drwxr-xr-x, the alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui need drwxr-xr-x, and then the sounds themselves need -rw-r--r--. It's one by one, but I've successfully gotten lock, unlock and effect tick under the UI folder working again.
Good luck!
U tha man!!!!!
That did the trick.. Actually only needed to change permissions on files.. Folders were still setup fine.
I ended up ssh into the device and chmod 644 * under each folder after enabling to on the system folder.
2min fix!!

Note 3 Automatically deletes all .mp3 and .ogg files from MicroSD?!?

I've given my son my Note3 to play with but every time I copy music to the microSD the damned phone goes and deletes all the files. It leaves the folders but deletes all the .mp3 and .ogg files!
what the hell could be doing that?
Its unrooted and running stock N9005VJUGBPB1_N9005ZTMGBOK3_N9005VJUGBOL1
Not normal. ...have you an AV installed ? ???check with another explorer...
May be your sdcard messing things up, try using different sdcard!
