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...
