Where do custom ringtones go? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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).

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.

[Q] File System: F2FS or ext4?

Hello everyone,
I've searched around to find what default file system Google is using for Android KitKat & Nexus 5.
The improvements on using F2FS are huge as showed by the Moto X and I would be surprised if Google didn't use it on the newest Nexus.
I found this thread which asked a similar question, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512026, but no answer.
What is the default filesystem for data and for system in Android KitKat?
What is the Nexus 5 formatted to?
thanks

I do wonder why... Would it be possible to format it to F2FS and copy-paste the same files or do you need to make some changes in the code?
I would also like to know if it isn't possible to use f2fs with our new phone for a performance boost.

you dont need that app. use a root file explorer, open /system/build.prop/, edit what you want, save and close it, reboot for your changes to take affect.

[Q] Does nandroid backuprestore Xprivacy (Xposed) defaults?

Hello
For anyone who uses xposed installer with Xprivacy, I wanted to know if a nandroid backup restores the specific permissions I set in Xprivacy? Or will I have to re set them all over again?
What about titanium backup? What if I restore Xprivacy from there?
P.s. Missed putting space between backup and restore in title..can't change it now :/
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Nandroid is a direct clone if everything except your /sdcard so it will keep everything.
Titanium backup takes down an app and its settings so it will keep everything

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
