Ringtone Select - Only stock sounds selectable?

[jpossi]

Hi,

i'm currently trying to change my ringtone, but unfortunately neither "Rings Extended" nor "ES File Explorer" are popping up when opening the ringtone-settings.
I've tried to reset the default-app, but it doesn't change anything.

When launching Rings Extended directly it states:

... (If Rings Extended is not available as an option when selection sounds there, I am sorry, but your device is broken so the application can't be launched. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this; it needs to be fixed in the software of the device itself. ...

Any ideas what I can do to select custom ringtones?

PS. I'm rooted and therefore locked to 4.5.0. Is this maybe already solved in 4.5.1?

Yes, no selectable (own) ringtones... Same here.

I'm on 4.5.1 so maybe it's different but I just went to settings, ringtone, and set a local ringtone. I downloaded an MP3 of a ringtone I wanted and it was there waiting to be selected

Which folder did you save the file in?

Edit: Nevermind, found a workaround: Open File with ES Explorer and then played it with its ES Media Player. In its Menu (3 dots upper right) is an Option: Set as Ringtone

Great! Didn't think that this could be the menu for selecting a ringtone.

Great,

For reference I saved it in the ringtones folder but any location works I believe as it was also asking me about WhatsApp audio files?!
