Nexus 5: Create your own ringtone - how it works
On the Google Nexus 5, you can set your favorite song as your own ringtone or use other sound files as a beep. We present two different ways to do this.
Nexus 5: Drag your own ringtone from your PC to your smartphone
If you already have a ringtone or would like to use a song as a ringtone, you can simply copy it to your smartphone:
- To do this, connect the mobile phone to your computer using a USB cable and open the file system from your workstation.
- The "Ringtones" folder is located in the top folder of the smartphone. If this does not yet exist, you can simply create it by right-clicking "New"> "Folder". Now copy your ringtone into it in MP3 or OGG format.
- Now you can select the ringtone in the settings of the Nexus 5. A restart is not necessary.
Own ringtone via app
To create your own ringtone from an MP3 file, download the "Ringtone Maker" from the Google Play Store and follow the detailed instructions in our picture gallery.
If you don't feel like creating your own ringtones, you should take a look at the Android app "ZEDGE". The app convinces with a very large selection of tones and background images.

After opening the app, select the desired song from your phone. To do this, right click on the green arrow and then on "Edit".
Now select the area of the song you want to have as a ringtone. To do this, either use the start and end field below or move the white area with your finger and then press the "disk".
In the following window you can choose whether you want to use the song as a ringing, alarm or notification sound. You can also name it.
You can then set the ringtone as the default tone, assign it to a specific contact, or share it directly with your friends.
The ringtone you just created can now be found in the selection list of your ringtones.
