I appreciate that u wanted to creat an informative thread. But actually the information u wanted to tell here is the most basic info which every new user know. So before creating any new thread verify that is ur thread really have any unique info or mod which is going to help people here.

Just a quick word in here...
When making instructional threads, try to make sure that all your information is accurate and complete. In this case you haven't mentioned the you need to set your permissions right... (set it to rw-rw-rw. I hope you know what I'm talking about).
Please make a better, more comprehensive tutorial mate. Also note that at it's core, this is a developer forum, so post your reasoning and everything that got you to your solution.
I appreciate your initiative, but try and do more research before posting, like for your earlier thread regarding boot animations.

Where do custom ringtones go?

Neither /media/audio/ringtones nor /ringtones work for me :/
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

The same place they have always gone in android. Any folder called /ringtones on your /sdcard. Mine actually pick up from /sdcard/documents/phone stuff/ringtones (by accident).
Please ask questions in q&a. General is not for questions. Please use the report /!\ button to request your thread be moved

Sorry for posting in the wrong section.
As mentioned above, I have copied my ringtones to the /sdcard/ringtones and to /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones. Neither worked
After I used ES explorer to select a custom ringtone, android settings showed 'unknown ringtone' and constantly FCed.
All my ringtones worked perfectly on the GNexus and N4.

I'm just answering the thread title
Your locations are correct.

Ah, I finally found out how it works - all ringtones MUST be copied via MTP from the computer... It is not sufficient to transfer them via WLAN.

Weird for you. I didn't transfer mine via mtp. Mine occurred as a wireless sync to SMB network drive connection.

So I guess the only way is to decomplie the apk?

Hi,
If I understand right you want only the icons, right?
Use Winrar (it's the one I use) and just open the apk with Winrar. Then go to /res/drawable-xhdpi (or drawable-hdpi, it depends) and search for an icon called "ic_launcher.png", it's the icon of the app...
All the apps, as far as I know, have this icon named like that for their icon as you see in your app drawer for example, maybe just the location could change.
Then you can use the icon to replace another one.
No need to decompile, just open the apk with Winrar, or at least with Root Explorer you can also (but for me it's more convenient on PC), click on the apk, then display and follow the same path, when you find your icon-> long press then extract.

Not for icons. You can get into apks via root explorer or via a pc using winrar or 7-zip

Enabling App ops M8

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to edit the settings.smali and get app ops by similar to this method. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52781401.
This is running Sense 6, 4.4.2 on the Verizon m8 rooted and S-off
I've been able to get the settings.smali but I'm stuck now on what I need to edit.
Any suggestions on what needs to be changed wither in the setting.smali or other locations to get the App ops back would be greatly appreciated.
https://github.com/Cygnuz/Settings/blob/master/Settings.smali

Edit: I would ask Calkulin. He is a pretty knowledgeable guy. Send him a PM with a link to your questions. He is pretty down to earth.
Other than that I dont know my self.
I would also ask the mods to move this to Q/A instead of Development.

@mcluvn has it turned on in his ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1913379
You would always just diff the settings APK after decompile and figure it out that way.
However I am not condoning the usage of someone elses mods in your own work with out appropriate permissions.

Ask the skyfall rom dev. I'm sure he'd help and he has it enabled in his latest build which is pretty close to stock.

Sounds good!

It's actually much more simple, I am in bed but tmw I'll post the edit needed. It's adding a string and adding some code to the security setting header .xml
(Feel free to compare against mine until I post the edits)
Edit:
These two edit's will have it show up in settings > security (although, you can put it in any header .xml you choose, really)
Add this to (go to the bottom of the .xml and add it there) res/values/strings.xml
Code:
<string name="app_ops_settings_summary">Manage app permissions</string>
(feel free to change this to your liking, "Manage app ops" Manage App Permissions", etc)
Add this to res/xml/security_settings_misc.xml
Code:
<Preference android:title="@string/app_ops_settings" android:key="app_ops_summary" android:summary="@string/app_ops_settings_summary" android:fragment="com.android.settings.applications.AppOpsSummary" />

BAM! You are the man Andy!! :victory:
Thanks everyone again for the help and support with this!

More than welcome. Glad I could be of help.

Moved to Q&A forum.
Please don't start a thread in any dev forum unless you are releasing your own development work.
Thanks.

Hi andybones, thank you for the effort. Attached you will find the file. Would it be possible to make AppsOps show in Settings directly underneath Apps?
Best regards

Sorry, the procure is the same for M7/M8, I don't know why I said they weren't.
You were most likely doing the part that is quoted above, but you also need to add text into res/strings.xml for the text that shows up.
I don't see "Apps" in Settings, do you mean in the Settings Menu under "App manager"? It's possible, yes - but far more work than this simple MOD.
This should work fine, install how ever your feel fit.
I suggest in a flashable.zip flashed in custom recovery.
AppOps should now be found in Settings > Security.
Also it seems but no smali in the code, that you are running an odex stock ROM?
This could be the issue if it doesn't work. but it should work just fine.

Yes, I suppose something went wrong when trying to deodex the rom. Was my first try and I am not sure I did everything correctly. Any advise?

Manifest App

regards
is there someone here who wants to help me tell how to manifest the app?
I already know how to unpack the .apk file with the help of apktool
my question: every app always ask for updates, even its updates are forced from the provider of the application itself, well, how do i make the app manifest itself so as if the app has been updated to the latest version when, the data is still the old application?
hopefully that can help ease his sustenance
amen

Please correct me if I'm wrong...
You want to just sever an app from the Play Store to, ultimately, prevent any update notifications for a specific app?

Why don't you just disable that Apps update via the play store?...or just download a nodded version..
I don't think your intentions are malicious...are they?!

This is why I had asked that member about a clarification.
Many/Most apps can be severed easily from the Play Store by simply resigning the app without altering its ultimate function.
