    FYI, if you are copying ringtones over from Google Drive, there is a known bug preventing you from seeing the new files. For now you have to copy via usb.

    Re: LG Nexus 5 – Android 4.4 KitKat: Custom Ringtones and Notifications

    In the past, I have successfully been able to set custom ringtones. However, after trying to do another custom ringtone, I accidentally told the phone to use a specific source "Always". Is there anyway to reverse this? The ringtone I wish to use comes from another source...
