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?

is there a way to create a shortcut on the home screen to call log because 99% of my calls are from the log?
I hate that the phone app by default launches the dialer, like anyone ever uses that. ideally it should remember the last tab but it doesn't.
Activity name in Launcher Pro Activities is "com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook.callslist.RecentCallsListActivity"
I can use LauncherPro create shortcut for this
Default Launcher need other App for Creating shortcut
I've try "AnyCut" but not work
You could also try downloading life.contacts it uses a widget to short cut to your most contacted..

Recommend you should use dialer one instead of default
You will forget default fone quickly.
I will do that
Hi All--
I had a lot of trouble with this and finally figured it out so I thought I would pass it on.
This is how to get a longpress of the search key (or any other key you choose) to activate voice search in ICS (I am doing this on AOKP b35).
The problem is that Voice Search doesn't show up in the applications list.
SO:
1. Use titanium backup to delete the voicesearch apk.
2. Install Voice Search from the market (a different version, but we'll fix that in a sec)
3. In Rom Settings (or liquid settings, or whatever) go and set the longpress as you would like it to activate voice search.
4. Flash the ICS Gapps package. This will replace the voicesearch apk with the new one, but it keeps the shortcut active.
Good luck!
You can also use Nova Activities to assign it more easily. Assign the long-press action to Custom App -> Activities -> Voice Search -> RecognitionActivity. I started to go through the steps for your method, and then this struck me. Seems to work.
Hmmm. Mines always worked. I think custom roms set this up by default.

Hey guys,
Currently using the Hellkat ROM but I had the same "issue" with JediMindTrick.
Issue is, even though I set Poweramp as the default music player in Android, some apps withe the option to launch music still uses the ROM stock music player when using such an option.
Example, Apollo is the stock music player in the Hellkat rom and after installing Poweramp I set it as my default music player. But when I select the music icon from within the Runkeeper app, it launches Apollo instead of my default player.
I searched for quite a few hours today and found some information related to "intent". I'm not a DEV some bare with my ignorance but tis apparently a way for devs to link to a stock app from their application.
So since Runkeeper and other such apps aren't giving the choice of which app to use when selecting the music icon and start the stock music app instead, I was wondering if there was a way to change the "stock" music app, by editing a conf file or something...?
Thanks!
Download an app to remove system apps from the play store and remove the offending app. It will usually clear the defaults if it's properly uninstalled and you can then set your default music player to your preferred one.
go to settings >> apps and get app info for the stock music player. clear the defaults and see if that works.
if not you can download titanium bavkup pro from the pla store and delete the default player so your phone has no choice but to use your preferred music app.
Is there a way to use a different search engine with the forced Pixel launcher search widget?
I know what you mean you select duck go for instance as deafult browser you then use the widget which is google you then search but it uses google instead have you tried removing the widget and see if it shows you a duck go one I use nova and use Google so I not had that problem sorry not much help
I wish we had a way to get rid of it all together. There is a mod here called pixel tweaks but its such a madding and convoluted process to install using substratum :/
But you can also change it if you switch to Nova launcher.
