"You can now disable an app if you no longer want it (but are unable to uninstall it). Disabling an app
removes it from All Apps and prevents it from launching. To disable an app, go to Settings > Apps > All
and scroll down to the app. You will see the Disable option.
Note: If you do not see a Disable option, it means that the app can either be uninstalled or is core
functionality and cannot be disabled. "
its about two-thirds the way down

For certain actions, like opening a video file, the system prompts me for which application to use to complete the action. A check box in that dialog allows me to set that choice as a default action. If I have set a particular action to use a program by default, how can I break or change this association later? Example: I have car dock open with Google by default, but I want to go back to being prompted for the choice of Google or Locations again. Advice?
I am using Virtuous ROM 0.9.0.

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All. Then find the app for which you want to remove the default setting on and scroll down to where it says "Launch by default" and hit clear defaults.
Next time you try to do that certain action it will ask you which app to use.
Solved!
Thanks! That is exactly what I needed to know.
Default is Google's Audio Search thing
My default is Google's Audio Search thing.
I can find the app, but it doesn't show that its a default for something. And I know I've set that app manually to the search button and I also know there are more apps that might be assigned to that button.
What do I do now?

So it's less of a bug and more of a typo maybe...
I have been playing with different launchers, and when I click my home button I just select a different one and sometimes set it to default and use it for a while to test it out. I'm torn between stock, go, and nova (I just wish Nova had a scollbar in app drawer like GO).
anyways... so when you have no default launcher set, you get to choose it in this little dialog. In the dialog there is a check box to make this action your default for the home button. When you check that box it gives a small popup that says "Clear default in Home Settings > Applications > Manage Applications."
Well, those options are not in the stock ICS 4.0.2 settings menu. I think this is a hold over from Gingerbread or something? Or is this due to one of the Launchers I installed taking over the home button? Anyways... seems like the option used to be in the settings but no longer is in ICS?
*edit: I realize you can change default settings for apps under app settings. The point is that there is no "Clear default in Home Settings > Applications > Manage Applications", unless I am misunderstanding something...
It's there, it's just labeled differently.
Pull down your notification bar and hit the settings button, then Apps, then scroll through your apps to find and select your current default launcher. Scroll down and hit the Clear Defaults button...
Ya, this is true, but its a bit of a hassle to scroll through a long list of apps. Would be much simpler if the settings menu was set up the way language/input is for selecting a keyboard.
But anyways, it's still seems like a typo in the OS to me... they should update the instructions on that popup menu.
its not a typo, I think you're just misinterpreting the wording that the app is popping up.
It's simply telling you to go to "manage applications", find the home app you wish to clear the defaults of, and clear the defaults...
Its not just launchers that can be set as a default (camera, gallery, music, etc. can all have 3rd party apps be defaults). So there is really no point in having a completely separate settings menu just for defaults, when the ability to clear defaults can be managed from the "all apps" menu.

Click to collapse
I believe the OP's point is that in ICS, you don't go "Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications", you go "Settings -> Apps" and find the app (in Downloaded or All). So it's a string value for that popup that needs to be updated to reflect the settings menu structure in ICS.
Is there a way to not allow notifications on the quickcircle, like message, etc?
Yes you can customise the apps you want to have....go to Settings/General/quickcircle case (tap it to open the apps list designed for the case) then deselect messages.
If you want more apps, download quickcircle apps from the play store.

That doesn't do it. The notifications still show
How about...
Settings > Security > Notification access
then uncheck the Quick Notifications
is this what you are looking for?
It's not in the app drawer or application manager. When I look it up on the play store it gives me an enable button that does nothing no matter how many times you tap it. Can anybody help me?
Go into your application manager to see if it's in the list. You may have to choose options in the top right menu there to enable different views if there are disabled apps. Are running an app disabler like Package Disabler?
Just go to Google Play and see if it says installed. If not install it.
I wanted to remove (disable) some of the apps I don't need (starting with Chrome and Weather); however, the Disable icon on the app properties page is grayed out. I then checked a few other "system" apps and none of them had the disable button working.
Is this some new Oreo "feature", or is it Xiaomi / Mi Max 3 specific? I know that on a Huawei device running stock Nougat a few months ago, disabling was available.
(On a side note - is it possible that MIUI doesn't include "search" (for apps) on the homescreens?)
You can disable system apps by following this:
Set the language to english, go to Play store -> Help & feedback, find and open the following article "Delete or disable apps on Android", you will see a link named "Tap to go to Application Settings", tap it and the stock app manager will appear.
it's not oreo or max 3 feature, it's just hidden. download from play market - Redmi System Manager, no root requires, open app, give it permissions (if asks) touch the button on the bottom (three point vertically) press Show system apps, find and disable. I've disabled many useless apps this way
Thanks, seems it gets to the same stock app manager as the one from Help&Feedback in Store app. Also, I came across an app MIUI Hidden Settings which also pretty much accomplishes the same (and has lots of other features as well). So there is hope (until I actually read parts of Xiaomi's Privacy Policy, which made me worried...).
But it seems that Xiaomi (if I compare it to my Huawei experience) is much more stringent when it comes to being able to disable crap. For instance, I was able to disable Chrome and Google Photos, but Feedback, Cleaner, and stock Browser have a grayed out Disable button no matter what.
