Yes it is! The easiest way to do that is copying the desired mp3 file to the folder \Windows\Rings, than you can choose it as ring tone in the same way as the preinstalled tones (it appears in the same list).

If you like to have the "Set as ring tone" entry in the explorer context menu also for mp3 files (and not only for midi, mp4 and wma) do not the following registry change:

First: if you want to copy and choose the file manually, you don't need to change anything in the registry!

But if you change the linked file type from MP3File to WMAFile, you are telling the system that .mp3 is a wma file (and that is definitely wrong). That works as long as the system has under \\\registry\HKCR\MP3File and \\\registry\HKCR\WMAFile equal entries for the used software to handle those files. But it's never a good idea to map different file extensions to the same file type except all these extension are synonyms and belongs to the same type of data (like .htm and .html). As soon as a user installs different players for wma and mp3 he will get into trouble.

So instead of mapping .mp3 to the type WMAFile it will be much better to add the missing context handler entry to the file type MP3File in the registry . (Only the entry is missing, the handler exists, we can use the one which is already used for wma, mp4 and midi, see below)

So lets have a look to \\\registry\HKCR\midifile\Shellext, \\\registry\HKCR\mp4file\Shellext, \\\registry\HKCR\wavfile\Shellext, \\\registry\HKCR\WMAFile\Shellext and \\\registry\HKCR\MP3File\Shellext and see:

the first 4 have a key named ContextMenuHandlers and all refer to the same handler, but there is no key named ContextMenuHandlers in \\\registry\HKCR\MP3File\Shellext. So copy (not move!) \\\registry\HKCR\WMAFile\Shellext\ContextMenuHandlers completely (with all subkeys) to \\\registry\HKCR\MP3File\Shellext and you have will have the "Set as ring tone" entry in the explorer context menu of a .mp3 file too (and not only for .wma, .wav, .mp4 and .mid files). And you preserve the possibility to link different players to .mp3 and to .wma files.

And don't be afraid, the context handler for "Set as ring tone" for wma is the same as for wave, midi and for mp4 so it will work well with mp3 files too because it doesn't care about the file content. It does nothing more than copy the file to the folder \Windows\Rings. (Ok, the message box is telling that the file also has been set as new ring tone, but on my Magician that is not true, it is still the previous tone active and I have to choose it manually)

That also creates the missing key but installs an additional handler and refers to it. I believe that these 100kBytes can be used better for other thing. As long as you are happy whith the way the systems handles .wma files (as ring tones) you can use the same handler for .mp3 files too and there is no need for an special "ring tone" handler for .mp3 files. But if you are afraid of modifying your registry but really want the context entry than this cab file is better than nothing.

Hi,

Does anyone know it's possible/feasible to be able to alter the quick settings pulldown? I'm quite used to the way it works in CM, so ideally I'd like to be able to achieve something similar.

I appreciate the N5 is still new for dev's etc, I was just curious if this was realistic.

Thanks

It will happen with custom roms. Have you tried any of the 3rd party toggle apps in Googles play store? I don't know if they've been updated to support KitKat yet, but worth a shot taking a look. Apps like this or this?

Looks like the first link (PowerToggles) has been updated on Nov 3rd so maybe that might help you out
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scottland:
Yeah I figured as much, I wasn't sure if there were any mods to achieve similar floating around (albeit for other devices). Most of the apps on the store rely on a persistent notification in the primary pulldown, wheres I quite like the quick settings pull down which would require some system modification which rules out any play store apps I think.

Also, when you first set up the phone, there is an option that asks if you would like to keep the phone backed up with google, which, if selected, also restores the phone from any back up google may previously hold.

Un check it, and it wont start downloading any apps when you first turn it on

definitely one of the irritating things about android. that backup/restore functionality sucks. I think i read they were going to revamp it?

Seems dumb that an app that is installed on another device or long removed from current device would install on a new device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetakara:
There's an easy fix for this. Go to the play store, swipe the left of the screen, click "My Apps", click the "All" tab. Any app in that list that isn't installed on your phone already will have an "X" in it's box. Click it and it'll ask if you want to remove the app for your apps list. That will stop it from auto downloading when you restore anything, as long as you don't download it again. Otherwise, you'd have to remove it again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zepfloyd:
After happily using my 'old' S4 on T-Mobile with HSPA+ since having the Note 3 as my primary line, I was naturally excited to update the baseband and unlock Band 4 LTE. However I noticed some caveats which I've now solved which will undoubtedly confuse everyone at some point.

Assuming you've got the correct APN for T-Mo (fast.t-mobile.com) and naturally install the SIM, if your phone is on global you will happily see working LTE but not so fast (no pun intended). If you call or text, it fails. If you quick check your About -Status in settings and look under network it will say say Unknown and not T-Mobile. Why? Essentially you're in LTE data only mode because by default the baseband is looking to connect to CDMA for everything else in the CDMA/LTE marriage that is Verizon unique, which obviously won't work here. The assumption otherwise is that you will only need GSM if traveling internationally so it never looks for LTE with GSM.

The quick easy fix is to drop out of Global back to the GSM/UMTS setting, which will bring everything back, network restored to T-Mobile, but now it won't use LTE again, lame.

Luckily there is a fix. Use the PhoneInfo app or however you prefer to get to the Testing App. Under device information change the dropdown to LTE/GSM (auto PRL). Toggle airplane mode or restart. When it comes up you should be on LTE and quick check settings again you'll see T-Mobile, and everything will work. So far this seems to hold pretty well.

EDIT: Note: This works for TW Roms. I have not had success in CM10.2. In CM I've only gotten LTE data (wrongly labeled Verizon) and nothing else. Doesn't even pick up my phone number regardless of settings used.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zepfloyd:
Just stock actually. Nothing special.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zepfloyd:
Use this app, hit Device Information, and change the dropdown to LTE/GSM (auto PRL). Given the simplicity not sure you need much more of a walk through than that. A video would require a bunch of editing to blot out IMEI and phone #s.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] majorlag:
I am using this app and it is great. When it works, it would show T-Mobile as Net. Op instead of Unknown. Only issue I am seeing is that 4G LTE signal is not so great over where I am at and once in a while it would drop to H+ and then get back to LTE. During that cycle, the Net. Op would become Unknown again. Wish there was a way to fix this permanently like tricky the SMS app to send GSM or whatever it is causing Net Ops to be unknown.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zepfloyd:
Couple of things. Remember as I started with the baseband in i545 when on LTE really wants to use CDMA as the default so when it's searching it's not going to obtain GSM as instantaneous As it otherwise would. Don't see any specific way of that getting patched ever as we're going against the grain of how it's typically supposed to be used. If you are on a fringy area for it, you may be better off just leaving LTE off, H+ speeds are practically the same anyway. Tmo is only using 3-5mhz channels for band 4 as they use other channels too so for us it's not going to be superfast like Verizon on average anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elite-fusion:
My phone is in Global mode, I have fast LTE internet and calls/texting works just fine. I am using a Verizon S4 with MJ7 and a T-Mobile simcard. No need to change anything except the APN and switch to Global.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Levenly:
so using the 4.4 gummy rom you were able to connect to LTE / HSPA+ networks easily? And SMS / MMS worked just fine? Upon trying with the MJ7 update, non-rooted, I could only connect to Edge services under the GSM profile. Using global would barely warrant the HSPA band.

then flash any verizon kernel (because if you just flash an at&t or t-mob rom it wont reboot it will say triangle and not authorized verizon software)

dont forget to update your baseband to lastest then you can enjoy LTE (and fast) without any problems.

if you get and prop. issues while flashing international roms just change the "updater-script" first line to :

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltevzw" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltevzw"

then you can flash anything you want.

Regionlock Away!

Since your phone is rooted, get RegionLock Away. It works perfect. Except if you try putting a AT&T Some thinking you'll get 4G LTE (which is what I did with my Verizon S4) then you'll just get HSPA+ ("4G"). Or just install Safe strap and install a ROM that is Multi-Carrier and flash the MK2 Modules and there you go!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PaKii94:
requires root :( anyway, i somehow got LTE working without anything else, This is what I did:

search for network under LTE/CDMA and you should be able to connect to LTE but if you try messaging/calling, it will fail and show a "do not enter" type of sign, now just switch over to global. (I think you have to have the APN in first before you search). I think this works because the LTE mode allows you to find tmobiles network and then having that in history, it auto connects to it even on global

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mdneilson:
It should read the SIM card fine. If it isn't reading it, the SIM board is bad. The phone will read the SIM, but still report an "error" in the status bar, since it isn't a Verizon SIM (just kill the Activation Something to get rid of it.

I've been trying to fix the TMobile texting problem on mine, and it looks like the issue is that the phone doesn't want to drop down off LTE to send the message, and TMobile requires SMS over LTE to be connected to IMS (which the phone refuses to do). I'll let you know if I can manage any progress. Hopefully the people working on unlocking the bootloader can get a breakthrough soon.

Here is what i did on AT&T

I solved this issue for my girlfriend's phone on AT&T.

After a few hours of research i discovered the issue was two fold:

1) Phone cannot send text messages through 4G (so disabling 4G LTE - i know this sux, and instead using HSPA - not thaaat bad)

2) Cannot change the SMSC phone number the texts will go through

Here is what I did:

1) Rooted her phone using Kingroot (very easy 1-click root tool)

2) Downloaded and installed the app Advanced Signal Status

3) Opened Advanced Signal Status app and clicked "Additional Info" (this opens the phone's hidden menu only accessible after rooting)

4) Under SMSC I changed the field to "+13123149810" for AT&T and pressed update **This number will be different on T-MOBILE

5) I changed the preferred network type from LTE/GSM to GSM Auto (this disables 4G LTE and only uses HSPA)

6) Restarted the phone and it was able to send SMS messages thereafter.

Good luck!
