General :: How To Set Default Apps

Nov 22, 2013

I have tried a new launcher and along with other stock widgets, including 4/5 day weather, 4x1 calendar, & weather & clock, my music widget went away as well.

I tried a music widget to replace it (unless I go back to HTC Sense) but when I try to play a song using an external device (headset, Bluetooth) it would play using my stock music player, not my new one.

How do I set the default music player?

Not required, but replacement widgets for listed above widgets welcome.

HTC EVO 4G :: Changing Default Action Apps Back To Default?

Jun 7, 2010

Wasn't sure exactly how to ask this, but here we go So, for example, I installed "Dialer One", a dialer replacement.So whenever I hit the "Phone" button, it asks how I want to complete the action. Using Dialer One, or Phone. And it gives me the option to "Use by default for this action".So, lets say I want to use Dialer One by default, but then I change my mind. How do I set it back to the default Phone.Obviously, this question applies to more than just the phone app. After writing all that I think the simple way to ask my question is- I really just want to know how to undo the 'use by default for this action' choices I may make in the future.

General :: Kitkat 4.4.2 - Duplicate SMS Using 3rd Party (non-default) Apps

May 29, 2014

I've noticed something since I updated my phone to kitkat 4.4.2 (it's a Z1 compact).

Whenever I use another app than my default app to send SMS, eg. I'm using SMSPopup, Glowfly or event another "real" SMS app along with my default one (let's say hangouts or Handcent), I have duplicate sent SMS, that means I have twice my sent messages in my list. I didn't have this issue on JB.

I tried to tweak access/read/write permissions via AppOps but the result is still the same. I now have to use the same app for popups/Notifications and SMS. Other SMS apps are useless because they duplicate the text messages.

General :: Default Launcher Won't Stay Default?

Oct 28, 2011

First of all I have a Sprint Epic Touch 4G AKA Samsung Galaxy 2 S and not rooted,

I keep getting prompt to select which launcher(launcher or twlauncher) when I press the home button. I would select set as default and then select twlauncher. This would work fine and I could do what I want and the home button acts normally. BUT if I long press the home button to bring up task manager and a list of recent apps, it would break the default setting on twlauncher. I could go to setting and manage app and see that the default on twlauncher is now cleared even though I did not manually clear it. I tried checking set as default and then select launcher. It too won't stick AFTER I long press the home button.

Long story short, I downloaded several launchers from the market and none of them will stay set as default IF I long press the home button. It breaks the default every time and ask me to select the launcher to use when I press the home button. Now this would be great if I could just delete all the other launcher and have only one but I can't delete the stock launcher or twlauncher.

So the first time this happen, I was driving down the road using telenav when I see the prompt to select which launcher(something that I've never seen after using the phone for 2 weeks).

1. Start task manager and kill all active app and clear memory from RAM

2. Clear defaults from manage application....twlauncher

3. Click home button, click set as default and then launcher instead of twlauncher- still does not stick after long press home button.

4. Manage application...twlauncher CLEAR DATA (sure enough my neatly organized homepage and apps folder was reset to stock).

5. Pull battery

6. Cycle power on and off.

7. Gave up after 24 hours and factory reset the phone.

8. Went on my merry way and reinstall apps and customizing home page and apps pages and so on.

9. In hindsight, I should have long press home button every time I installed a new app to see which one will break the default.

10. Phone works fine for 24 hours and then it mysteriously acts up again. It ask me to choose which launcher again.

11. Went back to googling and tried the following which did not work:

a. clear media hub data and default

b. installed Sprint "clean" ID and then later deleting it.

c. installed go launcher and see if it will stick

d. installed launcher pro

e. installed home switcher

f. I don't have Qik or some child lock apps

g. search XDA and found about 15 threads and tried everything in those thread short of using Titanium to freeze one launcher.

Right now I just won't long press the home button to bring up task manager or recent apps and everything will work just fine. Minor annoyance but I guess I can live with it until the ICS update.

HTC Eris :: Get Rid Of Default Apps?

OK, I already tried Automatic Task Killer and it just crashes every time I launch the program so I uninstalled it. I installed Task Manager aka Terminator and can manually "Kill" running apps which is great. However, it seems that the following apps (useless to me) just start right back up again and I can't seem to keep them from running (or uninstall them):

Footprints
Stocks
Visual VM

Jun 21, 2010

I have multiple gmail addresses set up on my phone through the gmail app.However, when I use any HTC app (People,Gallery)and try to send an email through these apps (I believe it directs me to the HTC mail app), I can only send emails from one of my addresses (which is not my primary address).Does anyone know of a way to switch primary email addresses for HTC apps or how to at least switch on the fly between different addresses when sending emails launched from other HTC apps (People, Gallery, etc.).

Android : Default Permissions Granted For Apps On Droid?

Aug 6, 2010

I have noticed in an application I wrote, in-spite of me not specifying any permission in the manifest file, the application throws up permissions granted, such as

android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

What is all that about? I was not even aware my application needs to write into external store, and I am pretty sure it doesn't need to. So why are these permission being granted when I never requested for them?

Motorola Droid :: What Default Apps Have You Uninstalled From Your Rooted Phone?

Jan 10, 2010

Just wondering what apps you guys have uninstalled fromm your rooted droids... I'm really getting annoyed by some of these apps like google talk storage, alarm clock, and calender launching themselves when they have no business at all running.And even regular apps do this which baffles me why people make apps that launch themselves I wish we had user acccount control I bet someone will make this type of app for rooted devices one day.

Motorola Droid X :: Change - Use This As Default - Setting For An Action - Not Under Manage Apps

Jul 19, 2010

I was using the facebook app and clicked a youtube video link and decided to make youtube the default app to launch for this specific action. However, I later decided that I want it to launch the link in a browser (so I can read comments) instead of playing instantly after clicking the link.

I tried "Clear defaults" under settings>applications>manage applications but there is no settings for youtube. I tried to clear defaults for facebook and my browser, and tried reinstalling the facebook app but no luck.

Motorola Droid :: Default Web Browser - When Click Links In Non-default Browser It Doesn't Send Links To Default One

Dec 15, 2009

I have installed Dolphin and like it, and I've made it my default browser, which is great. However, it is not only the system default, but it even opens links I click on in the Android provided browser (sometimes I both open). On your computer, when you click links in your non-default browser it doesn't send the links to the default one, and it shouldn't on this OS, either. Any ideas how to keep Dolphin as my system default browser, but not have it open links I click on in the Android web browser?
