Ringtones ?? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any recommendations on where to find cool ringtones ? the android ones are awful! also I was expecting the option to choose a music track as a ringtone but was limited only to the actual ringtones..is there a way to choose music instead?

You can put your music files in the Ringtones folder on the sdcard and then you will be able to choose that ringtone.
They're also apps with which you can choose a music file regardless of location.

Rooted but still cant delete a ringtone?

Hi I have a rooted n7 stock 4.1.2, I can't seem to delete a ringtone "hangout_dingtone.m4a" I am using ES File Exploer with SU permissions. Every time I delete it and reboot my n7 the files come back. The file is one file but when done a search shows up in two places, if I rename it in one place it renames in the other place as well. The files are located in /data/media/notification/hangout_dingtone.m4a and /storage/sdcard0/notification/ hangout_dingtone.m4a is there any way I can delete it from both locations? The reason why I want this done is because they show up multiple times in the default sounds menu.

That's because they are exactly the same location!
Just delete it from sdcard.

Youd think it would go away, but after a reboot there it is back in the folder. /sdcard/notification
any other way you can think of?

Ok, I deleted both hangout ring/ding tone files from notifications. Rebooted the phone and ding is back again.
Based on the name, it belongs to Google+, so I would say the app reinstalls the file if it is deleted.
Either leave the file alone or try freezing/uninstalling Google+.

I have a similar problem as you do however my music app is not showing system files or ringtone files but rather game ogg files. I installed puzzle quest 2 and now all of its ogg audio files are showing up in the music app. They are located in this folder on the internal memory storage at Android/obb/com.NamcoNetworks.PuzzleQuest2Android/files/sounds/music and I was looking for a way to exclude the Android/obb folder all together from being scanned but I didn't see this as an option. I do play this game so I don't want to delete these files to clear them from the music player. I would be grateful if anyone can provide insight. This S4 is my first Android phone coming over from an iPhone so I am anxious to learn!

Seems like a nomedia file may be missing in those system folders, or whatever samsung uses to keep the video player or gallery from seeing system sounds/video.
Thank you Joeybear that did the trick for me! After a quick search on exclusionary files I found that adding an empty .nomedia file to each folder via ES File explorer cleared all unwanted files from the music player. :beer::thumbup:

The stock one in S4 is pretty awesome with many eqs and adapt sound.
That's pretty much personal preference.

Right, the only missing thing for me is the lyrics : how can i activate them without having to install an alternative music player ?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Poweramp for me. There's lyrics as well.

Yeah, that's why i've installed it - but after a week i uninstalled it :
Transaction effect between songs isn't good for ears.
Don't have 'Smart functions'.. I couldn't fully enjoy my S4. But it have Lyrics and that's good

Also anyone noticed that in stock player after reaching sound volume 13 Adapt sound stops working
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Is Adapt Sound system wide or is it just in supported apps?

Just in supported apps : Calls, Stock video and music player.

I don't know about samsung's fancy gestures or what not... But I know Poweramp is The best music player for audiophiles /music lovers . Full EQ seamless interface , so many customization options , native dsp option , superb widget customization options... I mean this app has it all . The crossfade settings can be adjusted in the settings if you don't like the default option and gestures can be added through an external app... I think the name is wave player or something... Google it :S
I use poweramp. I bought poweramp. I think is the best in android right now. I like the ideea of adapt sound but I like to know if the sound is aplied to all players after initial setup or only in samsung original player. I like to use adapt sound with poweramp.
