How to restore defaults - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I know this may sound a slightly noob question but I wouldn't be asking if there was an obvious solution.
You know when using the built in browser on Facebook and say there is a YouTube video your friend has posted and you click to veiw it. When you click it up pops an option of how to veiw it in your browser, in youtube or whatever other browser and also an option to keep it as a default.
My question is once you have selected to keep as default how do you revert back so that you have the option to how the video is launched?

You can try this:
Settings-Applications-Manage applications-tab All ( second one on top)-find Youtube (it is last or from the last ones)-tab onto "Clear data" or "Clear cache"
Hope this helps.
Regards.

you have to press "clear defaults"

Tried clearing data and cache for both YouTube and browser videos still open in the 'always open with' there must be a restore so you have various options.

You were right just done it. Had to 'clear defaults' in Manage Apps for Internet. Many thanks that was driving me round the bend as I couldn't find a way to do it before

Verify the download as the latest, download, and re-flash again.
Not sure about Chrometophone though.
MarketEnabler
If you don't feel like reflashing,
you can install apps restricted to certain zones (such as Chrome to phone) via the market using MarketEnabler

Fire it up, go to the "Settings list", long press on one of the listed providers, click "fake this provider now" and then you can install Chrome to phone (and other zone restricted apps) like you would do for any other app via the Market.

ALL apps force close?
Something seems thoroughly wrong with your install. At this point I'd consider a complete wipe & reinstall of your ROM.

Force cache apps?

I love my gn but this one thing really bothers me!
Im a heavy talker, i use the phone app more then any other app
when Im not in the phone app, android caches it so i can get back quickly later
but if im doing something that take memory like browser/youtube/facebook android just clear the phone app from cache (ive tested that with the built-in app manager)
then when i go back to lets say, call log, it takes 2 sec to load + scrolling down the list lags so much! (when i reach down the list, android caches is back again so everything is smooth now)
any way of forcing it to stay cached? i found lots of apps in the market to clear cache, not one app of doing the other way around?

Whenever you are done using an app that's not the Phone app, just use the built-in app switcher to close that app (swipe the app off the list to close it). That way, the phone app won't get bumped out of memory.
Uhhhh..that doesn't close anything, just clears it from the list.

I don't have the phone yet, but in the emulator, it is able to close any app that's not running a service.
Almost a month later, few custom roms and kernels but its still buggs me, does anyone but me have this? Is there something i can do about it?

Swiping from the recent apps list is the same as closing an app with the back button.

About "don't ask me again" of browser

Hi guys. Sorry for my silly question, but it really perplex me. When I click a link on facebook for android, it will ask me which browser I want. I always choose internal one and choose don't ask me again. Now, I'm using google chrome, so I don't want it chooses internal browser automatically anymore. Is there any way to cancel it? Just clear data? Thanks.

Settings >>> Apps >>> All >>> 'scroll down to the internal browser' (Internet)>>> Then you'll see the options Clear Data, Clear Cache and Clear Defaults, choose Clear Defaults.
Next time you click a link for FB it'll ask you for your preferred browser again.

Anyone have the Anycut prl APK?

It's no longer available in the play store. Does anyone have the apk that I can download?
You can get it here.

That link installed a version of any cut that keeps crashing. I have a Verizon galaxy s3 rooted worth stock jelly bean. Is there an updated version? Is the app device, or ROM specific?
Here is the playstore version. It also crashes on mine.

The Google play one says not found even in browser. The one from Tewlman's dropbox says the same as the others; after I click "Activity" The app crashed with "unfortunately anycut has stopped"
Try clearing app data and cache via app manager, then uninstall, boot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvic, reboot and reinstall.

That didn't work. I used ROM manager to clear the caches after I uninstalled the app. It had no data to delete before I uninstalled. Am I the only one with this issue? Are there any good alternative apps?
There is no newer version and it crashes on jellybean if you run it from the app shortcut. It will work if you drag a widget from the widget tray to a homescreen.

It isn't listed as an available widget when I long possessed the home screen. See the attached. I also tried am app shortcut on the home screen which ended with the same error
This is what I see when I open the widget drawer (or long press on the home screen and select add widget)

Try with a long press to (touchwiz) home screen, after select "apps and widgets", find it in the widget list and drag it to home screen. This is the only way I can use it without crash. I use it on SGS3 mini with stock JB 4.1.1

I just tried. it crashes right after I select "Activity" I also use Go Launcher, but for the purpose of your test, I switched back to Touchwiz.
Here is the one I use. I have used it on stock and custom ROMs. You have to use a home launcher that supports shortcuts, like Apex or ADW. Just long press on a home screen and when you get a popup select shortcut then select Anycut. Then select activity and scroll through the list. There are some that will force close, but I have found that a lot of the system shortcuts do work.

I uninstalled anycut and installed the one you attached. I tried the shortcut with Go Launcher and also Touchwiz. Both have the same result...after clicking "Activity" it says "Unfortunately Anycut had stopped working"

I use it with Apex. I cannot speak to the others as I have not used them. You should also try fixing permissions. Permissions being off can cause FC.

how do i create a shortcut to a button within an app that is not an activity? i assume that is what the "make your own" thing is for

[Q] lack of default app persistence

Hi, ive rooted my Tab 3 8.0 using twrp/odin. It works great.
I have noticed that I am constantly being asked to select a default app for many operations and it does not stay persistent... ie next time i do the same thing it will ask me again!
I dont know where to start debugging this one!
Any help appreciated.
OMG !!!
Just touch "Always" instead of "Ask again" when asked

Really.?? You think a member of xda with over 20 years dev experience would not think of that?
Pull your head in.
There are a number of unanswered posts on several boards from users with this issue. It *may* be a problem with Nova launcher or titanium. This happened around the time I installed those.
I had to freeze the default launcher to get Nova to function correctly. Perhaps that is the issue.
It may also be a permission issue. I've used the boot loader to reset my permissions to no avail.
Can anyone direct me to the storage where the default app register is?
Any other ideas?

So you spent 20 year of experience on XDA ?
That's great !!!
I also have any other idea. Maybe you should wipe cache and dalvik-cache in recovery or reset all settings of the app named "Default Container".
You may also reinstall your ROM.

I would clear all my preferences and start all over and see if that works. Settings>manage apps>all>hit menu button and choose "clear all".
