after changing some of my ringtones (contacts, alerts etc.), i'd like to start over from scratch.
however, i can't find a default/reset box to check when it concerns ringtones (and not the whole phone's settings).
the reason i want to do it (maybe you'll help me here instead) is that even though i succeeded in setting a specific ringtone per group (in my contacts), i cannot change it or reset it, and now i'm stuck with a ringtone i can't change.
thank you
Go into the your contacts app aka people and for each contact that you made change it back to default

Isn't there a more efficient and 'one-press' way?
I have both contacts and groups ringtones and i'd like to reset them all at once

Yes and no. Factory reset resets all.ringtones and much more. Just ringtones? No

seems like restaurants I have saved in People are all doubled.
I tried to delete the doubles, People/Menu/Manage/de-duplicate.
It did delete a great many, but many restaurants are still duplicated; and the entries are exactly the same, near as I can tell.
Ideas?
I think you can go onto Gmail/ contacts and remove duplicates or type it in google and you'll get your answer.

Try a program called wondershare Mobile go . It will merge your duplicate contacts.

I should have been clearer. It's only affects contacts on phone. Gmail web mail contacts are all good no duplicates.

Wondershare mobilego is a free app you install it on your PC. It doesn't matter where the contacts are it will merge them. Even if they're on Google or your phone.

within People on the phone, one can select Menu/Manage Contacts/De-duplicate and more or less get the job done.
But the odd thing was is that there were dupes on the phone, but not on the google webmail/contacts tab. Nor OSX Address Book.
any way to clone everything I have in Nexus4 to my brand new Nexus5 who supposedly will arrive tomorrow?
not only contacts and very few settings how can be duplicated using gmail, I think at everything: apps, calls, sms, settings, data, emails, ...
is Google providing any tools to, like other manufacturers do?
thanks for suggestions
Root N4 & N5. Backup everything on N4 using Titanium. Use Titanium Backup on N5 to restore/extract what you have backed up on the N4.

Use settings backup option
Then when you upgrade to N5 it will reinstall all your play apps after you put in your gmail account details
Use SMS Backup+ too

I previously used "my calculator"as a way to store private messages. This application would intercept and sms from a contact I delegate and give a special but otherwise unrecognizable notification icon. Is there any way to accomplish this with KitKat even if a special app is needed.

I used to use an app called Vault. It was awesome- completely hidden and the only way to access it was by typing a code on your dialpad. No way for anyone to know it was even installed. Not sure if it works with 4.4 yet but it's worth checking out.
I think there are some core changes in KitKat that need to be addressed

For the life of me, I just cannot figure out Tasker. What I am trying to do seems simple in theory, but to me, it is not so easy in execution in Tasker.
I am trying to turn off syncing for only the stock Email app (use this for my work Exchange email) when I am at work, and turn it back on when I leave. I don't really care if it is time based or location based. I do not want to change the sync settings for the Gmail app or anything else, just the stock Email app.
Could anyone provide a comprehensive, step by step method of accomplishing this? I've tried many times and just cannot get it. For some reason, I cannot really grasp how Tasker works anyway, so perhaps that is the root of my problem.
You cannot change settings of individual apps.
You could configure tasker to carry out specific button presses so it could open settings, navigate down to sync and change settings etc but this isn't an elegant solution

Oh really? Shoot. Is there any other app or solution?
The only real option is 3rd party email client

Greetings XDA,
O.k. I'm new to Samsung and touchwiz so please forgive me, coming from the HTC One to the Edge. I previously used a few messaging apps going to one for this and another for that, keeping one for private messages an another for this and that... Google voice, go sms or handscent, the stock sms app, and hangouts, now voice and hangouts are kinda merging... however I am finding it annoying to be forced to stick with only one messaging app... it appears that touchwiz will only allow one such app controlling access to send messages.... is there a way to disable the system from forcing me to stick to only one app and locking the other ones?
I'm currently running the below rom
[ROM] Sprint Note Edge SM-915P NK1 Rooted Stock Deodexed
Thanx for any helpful suggestions
Im on stock and it lets me pick between sms/mms apps. Im using the lollipop messaging app from the play store default
Sent from my SM-N915P using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe it's just me then...
However try and use another sms/mms app if it's not your currently selected default messaging app, and see if it allows you to send a message from that app without changing it to now become your new default messaging app.

No it makes you switch tha one to default. but thats very easily done in settings. It like hangouts, it is on the edge, but i refuse to use it cuz i hate it for some reason. I d/l' ed "messaging" for lollipop in play store and enabled it as default in settings and im a happy camper
