Recently bought one plus one in India , was trying to customize the ringtone by using mp3 songs. But read in one of the forum that need to copy mp3 file in Ringtone folder and you will be able to see it in system ringtone's list.
But in my case the ringtones folder is in
/system/media/audio/ringtones
which is not allowing me to add any files , since do not have permission to write on this folder.
Please advice..
Is this the right folder to copy the desired mp3 file or have to copy somewhere else.?
If this is the right folder, how to set the permission to copy any files.
Following are few details about my phone
Android versio
4.4.4
model A0001
cyanogen OS 11
Thanking you in advance.
Cheers !!

What message are you getting when trying to add the files and what are you using to try and do so? I can copy and paste an mp3 to the folder using es file explorer, changing the mp3's permissions to rw-r-r, then reboot and you can select it from the settings>sound>ringtones menu. You should be able to just set an mp3 from other programs, like shuttle music player, just click on the 3 dot menu on a track and you have an option to set as phone ringtone.
The file path you should be using is /sdcard/ringtones. The other path you are trying to copy them into needs root permissions to write, as that is the system ringtones folder. If you are rooted, then you would be able to write them in there.

For CM12 users of one plus one.....using rooted phones, you can install "ES file explorer " aap there from you can r ringtone of your phone by the music player of this aap without any problem....the music player lie in the option list of es file explorer.
This is a very easy Guide to download ANY song from SoundCloud.
Pre-Requirements:
1.SoundCloud App
2. ES File Explorer(Or any other file explorer with root permissions; I personally recommend ES File Explorer)
3. Any Music player
Method:
1. Search for the song that you want to download in the SoundCloud app.
2. Play the song IN SOUNDCLOUD APP.
3. After the whole song has been buffered, open your file explorer.
4. In your Internal Storage and open Android>data>com.soundcloud.android>files>stream>complete and copy the last file in the folder to any other folder.
5. Open the folder to which you copied the file and rename the file and add the extension".mp3" in the end of the filename.
6. Now you can play the file with any music player !
Pls hit Thanks if I helped!
I unstalled the system apps like gallery, music player etc. by es filemanager by backup.
but now that apk could not install.
it seems that a command like "APP DO NOT INSTALLED".
Hi
Open your file manager with root access and paste your apk in /system/app partition with right permissions. Reboot.

Good luck.
I found a way to convert mx player to system app. You just need to edit its .dex file and set the nativeLibraryDir to "/system/lib".
My mx player(system app) is now running without asking for codec...

Why do you want to install it as a system app..?
Modifying the apk is illegal & not allowed. When MX Player signature verification fails it will crash after some time.
BTW, it's nit necessary to modify dex files. Just extract the libs from the apk to /system/lib & copy the untouched apk to /system/app. It should work.
