How to change wich app open a filetype?

How do you change which app open different filetypes?
I opened a picture after i browsed to it via Astro. when I clicked it I was asked which app I wanted to use to open it and if it should be default.
I choose the wrong of the 2 options - how do I change it?

Long press usually offers the option to change.. the other way is via manage apps, scroll down, clear launch by default

How to change default actions?

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?

Change wallpaper lockscreen ?

Is there a way to change the background of the lockscreen ?

The only way I've found is to use an app such as QuickPic, etc. that will let you view your desired wallpaper and then 'Set As..." save option to set it as the Lockscreen.

The stock Gallery app and File manager itself allow us to set a lock screen wallpaper on Oxygen OS.
Open an image there and you will see Set As option at the top right. It will give you a list of options to which you would want to assign that image

Native Messenger app built-in browser question..

Is there a way to disable it? It's garbage. Is there a way to force links to open in default browser without having to select "open in browser" from the drop down menu?

I agree - I receive job notifications all day via text w/ links in them and on my Note 4 it worked fine, but on my new Note 7 it opens what I presume is a Webview minibrowser that only partially loads, I then had to use the drop down menu to load it into Chrome, which reloaded the page, which finally opened the link into the app that it was associated with in the system to begin with - WTH?!?!
So the only fix I found was to replace the stock app with the Google messaging app -

List of Samsung apps to use "adb shell cmd package install-existing" with?

Basically looking for the photo editor app package name since I removed it and the gallery app to use different apps.
I restored the gallery, but now when I want to edit a photo, tapping on the pencil prompts me to download an app, but then I get a "no apps available to complete this action"
How about re-mapping the pencil icon to open another photo editor app? Is that possible?
Thanks!
