Hi Guys
1. Is there a way to remove unwanted apps from my apps in Google play?
2. Is there a mod to stop music being interrupted by notifications or the least by co-pilot gps?
1. There is two type of apps installed. First type is normal app, which you installed from Google Play or Manually. Second type is system app which come along with the phone, you can saw those on first boot. YOu can't uninstalled those, but you can disabled them through Settings >> Apps.
2. As what i knew, the answer is no. In common sense, a phone notification(sms..) is crucial than music playback.
Thx Man
Point 1 I know I just want to get rid off apps in my apps in Google play. You know apps that you installed to test and did not like or apps you do not use/can not use anymore like my old Motorola apps from very old android that are now part of os.
Point 2 odd excuse it is for me to decide not them. Other OS's out there (old or new) do not have that issue.

On a cm rom I used back on my xperia x8 music was lowered to play the notification and not cut out completely, so it can be done.

1. If your app comes from Google play, you can uninstall from setting->app and choose app that you want to uninstall
2. If your app comes within your ROM, you can install root explorer and then open choose system-> app from that folder choose apk that you want to uninstall after that reboot your phone to take the effect..
Note : for option 2 your phone must be rooted..

Sure it can be done, but for now no developers is providing this mod. As what i know this will need to tweak allow muxing channels. I remembered the ICS add some support for audio channels.
Regarding your first question (seeing as everyone seems to have misunderstood and is telling you how to remove apps from your device); no, I don't think there's any way to do that. The Play store always shows all apps you've ever installed and there doesn't seem to be any way to modify that behaviour (either on the device or on the web). I'm not sure of the logic behind not being able to edit that history.
Make a new google-account? No history anymore
And no purchased apps and no mail and no good solution.
2 silent mode should prevent notification from interrupting music
The new play update let's you remove from my apps section, it's floating around the forum somewhere I installed it earlier

So, this Q Slide feature.....it's nice, but it only works on local videos.
On my Galaxy Note, and My ASUS Transformer, my for-play-only GS3, and every other Android device i've ever owned or used, has an App Picker....if you open up a file, it will ask you what app you'd like to open the file/stream with.
With youtube videos, maybe you want to use the youtube app....or if the youtube app doesn't have a 720p option, maybe you want to use the browser and flash. Maybe you have an app that download videos, or downloads the music from a video....but it's GONE from the LG ROM. Or at least, clearing the defaults for every app on the phone (it's brand new, and i didn't even choose a default app for anything--i never do, because my needs vary so much, and i sometimes use obscure apps), uninstalling, and then reinstalling the app didn't work.
What am i missing? Does LG seriously lock down their devices so much that they only allow you do open certain types of content with certain apps?

Hi there.
I thought my only issue with the Note 2 was the driver issues some are experiencing. Now that I avoid it by plugging into my Win7 machine, rather than my Vista machine, that problem is no more.
But recently another issue I thought was minor is really starting to aggravate me now. For some reason, ever since Jelly Bean came around (even on my G-Nexus) I have had issues with default apps saving.
For example, when browsing either using Chrome or the stock Internet browser, I select an IMdB link and a pop up window appears asking what default app I would like to address these link types. I select the IMdB app, and ALWAYS.....then a window pops up showing how to clear defaults which I have to hit: OK. So all in all, I have to hit 3 or 4 more buttons after selecting a link.
The next time I select an IMdB link, I have to do the process all over again......meaning Android is not saving my selected default apps. I thought it might be app specific, but this issue is happening with nearly any default I select. It also doesn't have to be a reboot that wipes my choices......it just never remembers. Same with YouTube, and other apps I choose for defaults.....they don't stick.
The only defaults that work are some non-Google/system based app to app default choices. By this I mean, in ES File Explorer, if I select a default video player, image viewer, text viewer, or audio player they stick. Meaning, if I pick an image while in ES, QuickPic automatically opens. A video, MXPlayer opens etc.
The issue only seems to happen with system or google apps, but is consistent. This problem is getting very annoying, and my google searches over the last couple days have yielded me nothing helpful.
My question is this, has anyone seen this before, and if so do they have a possible workaround or solution they could suggest? Thank you much, in advance.
I have the same issue and started a thread for it... I didn't get any answers

Hmmmm. Thats not the news I wanted to hear lol. Ive managed to work around my problem a little by installing Default App Manager Pro and then installing Opera mobile and setting it as default browser app. I get far fewer pop ups and at least the imdb page on Opera is close to the app. As well, if I search something and it goes to a YouTube link it first goes to the browser page but as soon as I touch the video to play it, the YouTube app opens. Not perfect but far better than being asked to set defaults EVERY time I search the internet, then having my defaults ignored and asked again.....and again.

Is using that app the only solution for this?
I got my wife a Note 2 yesterday, and each time we've rebooted it, it forgets what we chose for the default app, going back to the stock launcher, and no longer using SwiftKey by default.
Each and every time... re-selecting the things she wants... Quite aggravating.
I never had this issue on my S3
I'm wondering if you have installed custom roms or mods. If so, have you tried going to recovery manager and running :fix permissions:? My thinking is that maybe it's trying to write to a read only file and failing silently. Thus the next time it reads default apps, there are no defined preferences.
I don't know for sure that's even the case, but it would make sense logically on any system.

Right now, it's happening to be on a brand new vanilla Note 2
Is rooting my phone and nuking the default .apk's the only option to fix this problem?
Hate to bump an old thread, but I'm having the exact same issue. Every time I reboot all of my default apps disappear and I have to choose them again. They seem to last for the entire session. Stock rom but rooted.
Defaults not saving

Same here....6 week old Note 2, not rooted. It is saving virtually no default programs...not the launcher, the browser, not documents. Seems that if there are more than one app that COULD open a file, Note 2 will ask for the preferred app, regardless of whether a default had been previously saved / set or not.
Bummer. I did try using a "Default App Manager", went through the process of setting my selected defaults...made absolutely no difference at all!

If you are on a custom ROM I do not know what to tell you. If you are on stock each time you install or uninstall an app that will perform an action when you click on something the Note will ask if you want to do it once or always. So if you install a new browser and you click on a link it will ask which browser you want to use. If you then uninstall a browser the next time you click on a link you will be asked again. If you are being asked more than that then there is a problem somewhere. If a factory reset does not work and you are still under warranty I would call and find out if that is something that is covered. I wish I knew off hand which app keeps track of your defaults then you could just clear that app and see if that helps.
This is happening on my stock galaxy s4 for t-mobile.. app defaults are not saving. I think it's a broader problem than just the note 2.
Wondering if anyone has found a solution or made any progress????

the same is problem in samsung note 5. any solutions?
EDIT - MODACO modified apks FOR ANY DEVICE are now up. No root required for these. Below is the original method using the Google Play version of Facebook Home .apk Chat heads will work etc!
****************************************************************************************************************************
So I've finally got Home working on my N4... I knew I'd get it working in the end. Now I've tried it - it's OK.
Instructions...
1. (ROOT NEEDED!) Change build.prop to GS3 / HTC One X etc... BuildPropEditor Just change ro.product.model from 'Nexus 4' to 'HTC One X'. REBOOT to take affect!
2. Delete other versions of FB Home from your phone. Ensure current Facebook AND Messenger apps are updated. Clear these apps data.
3. Download and install home.apk (This is the unmodified Google Play version).
4. Sign in. Facebook app settings > Enable Facebook Home.
5. Revert build.prop and REBOOT!
6. Hit thanks and ENJOY for a little while. Maybe. Then uninstall.

I changed everything I could but here... I think device, model and build are the most important.
thanks for the build prop values. I changed ro.product.device, ro.product.manufacturer ro.product.model ro.product.brand and ro.build.product to the ones you had for the One X. Not sure if all 5 were necessary, but they were easy enough to change, and I got facebook, messenger, and home installed and running then set them back to mako/LGE/Nexus 4/Google as necessary and rebooted, home is working just fine still
Finally got it working!
Cheers.
You are right. I'm sure not all are necessary. I was just making sure I guess.
The ones in the OP are the important ones (I think). Will change once someone confirms.

The only one I changed was ro.product.model from Nexus 4 to HTC One X. Home installed and is working fine!

Wait... So I can change the values, and then once home is running I can change them back? That doesn't seem right to me, but if it's true I'd be so down!

I can confirm that I changed my model back to Nexus 4, rebooted and Home is still there. Neat.
Thanks! That didn't take long haha, works perfectly. I think you should edit the thread so that people will know that they have to reboot in order for the new build.prop settings stick.
Rooted?
Stupid question, but is being rooted a necessity to edit build.prop / model name, etc. ? I tried, but it wouldnt let me save the new info. I'm assuming its cause I'm stock.
Thank you for the instructions wolf boy 1984!
I am having a doubt on step 2. Would you mind clarifying the following?
Is clearing data as in wiping user data from all apps (factory reset basically) or just wiping cache? I assume its would a factory reset, right?
Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Need root I think. I didn't know Nexus owners stayed on stock!
Clear FB app data only!
Might not be necessary even...
Thanks OP, got Home working in minutes.
Either im doing something wrong or chat heads isnt working for me at the moment.
I'll try and use it for a while until Nova lures me back!
To be honest i'd rather see a twitter home launcher
Main Facebook app (not messenger h. Go to messages.Press friend image...
Or receive a message and it will pop up.
any tricks on getting all the notifications to work in home like on the HTC First?

Hi there.
Has anyone have a problem with system constantly asking which app to use to open a video? Lets say I'm clicking a youtube link in the browser and it's asking me whether to use a browser or mxpayer or youtube to open it. Every single time I want youtube app to deal with it by default but it keeps asking.
The same thing with opening links, it asks to choose the default from browser, tapatalk or tapatalk based app. Even when the default action and app is always selected it doesn't remember it. Any ideas how to fix it? I have D855, UK Three branded, still running 10a soft, rooted.
