Custom ring tones, notifications? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I used to be able to use my own ring tones on a custom ROM but I can't find any now that offer it. Is this a feature I can easily add on myself?

Just make a folder on the device named Ringtones and then they will show up in the list.

Stock Sense Notification Sounds / Alarms.

I don't know about the rest of you, but one of the biggest downsides of running Cyanogen was not having my stock notification / txt sounds. So I decided to post them for you guys.
Attached is the stock alarms / notifications / ringtones / ui sounds. Enjoy.
not an aria owner, but don't have an HTC phone so i really appreciate this.

Not a problem. I prefer HTC's sounds over all others... I used them when I had a captivate

Just make a folder on your SD cards that says "Sense Sounds" or whatever you want. It will automatically scan over them and add them

Easiest way IMO is to put them sounds directly into the /system/audio/ folder.
Running these with CM7. Life is good.

Right on. Via recovery (adb) for an existing ROM or directly into zip if before flashing.

Thanks a lot! I went crazy not able to recognize my different notifications anymore!
thaanks a lot! I was searching for this.
I just flashed my Wildfire to Cyanogenmod and I miss my good ol' Sense sounds
Thanks! I just switched my AMOLED DInc to CM7 and I just couldn't get used to its notifications. Now I have them all.
Thanks button is missing for me on the OP for some reason. Doesn't matter, thanked you anyway on a later post. You are amazing, thank you so much.

[Q] Change shortcuts on stock slider lockscreen?

I use the four way slider lockscreen that is built in to android 4.1, but not the three shortcuts that come with it. Is there any way I could easily change the apps they correspond to as well as their icons?
Thanks

You could try a lock screen replacement. I've never used one but from the descriptions on the play store one of these might give you what you are looking for.

Folder Item Limit

Is there a way to remove the 16 app folder limit in Sense 5?
It would be a huge help in organizing all my apps
Thanks!

it will not be called as a folder then. it will be app drawer within a folder.
redundant.
That option is available in several custom roms like trickdroid for example.

Not sure what you mean, but I think it's useful since I have over 150 apps and scrolling through them all is a bit of a pain...

The one next to Google on the home screen? Im trying to achieve that. Its also hard from the system dump to do the google now launcher too without FC cause launcher 3 on n4 is preventing it and there is no clear defaults in that app
This is a Nexus 6 forum. I believe this may be the wrong place to put your question. That stated, could you post a screen shot of that which you seek? I'm sure someone could assist if you provided a bit more detail.

This is a real brain teaser. Any chance you can be a little more clear on what you want.

The folder named create next to the google now launcher circle icon. And sound search apk.
Nope, still no idea what the OP wants!
If you want to create a folder, just put one icon on top of the other and it creates one automatically - it's a standard Android thing
Still very confused. I don't see a sound search icon or a create button. I see a google folder a download manager icon play music and store. Is it somewhere else.

There is no create. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.ears is that what you're talking about? Its on the Play Store.

you realize you can litterally make the folder? you dont need an apk to make a folder....you just drop several apps from the app drower on top of each other on the homescreen and POOF! a folder has been created. as for the name, open up said folder, tap on the name, change it to "create" as you want to do, and you are done....such a weird request..
Use the pa stock gapps. It will create the folders you are looking for
This thread is ridiculous
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
it's simple... it's a standard folder called "Create" that includes all of the Google Drive apps (Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Keep)
I really would like 10 pages of this thread. It's that cryptic and entirely entertaining.

Lockscreen Clock

Hey All,
How can i move the position of the lockscreen clock?
Would like to be moved to the top or even the top left hand concer
I know for the lockscreen wallaper to go into data/system/users/0 and copy paste the picture and change the name.
Now want to move the clock to a different area.

I would love to put the turbo command center on the lock screen... But I know just enough about this stuff to get myself in trouble. So I read... And read... And read. This will be yet another I'll have to follow.

Once the image is copied into the folder,
rename pic file from xxxxxx.jpg to keyguard_wallpaper
if there is already a file called keyguard_wallpaper rename that file as keyguard_wallpaper.bak
