Look in settings -> application manager
It should be somewhere in there

search "Clear Defaults"

I'm in the same boat. I don't seeing the setting anywhere within the note5. As soon as you choose an app, it sets it as default.

I would love if someone would quick patch this for stock root users.

[Q] how to change the default program for some actions?

Hi,
I want to change the defualt program assignment for the Samsung Galaxy. I can't find it on the phone.
I installed Dialer One, and when I missed a few calls, I got a pop up window asking me what program do I want to see the missed calls (Dialer One or the SGS dialer), I chose DIaler one, but for some reason it crashes when I need to check the missed calls.
The thing is I can't find the place to change it back to the regular Android Dialer....
Help, anyone?
Thx,
Roy
Go to settings, applications, manage applications and then select your application in question, under there is a section to clear the defaults. That should do the trick

That means that you haven't set that application as default or there is only one application that can perform the concerned action.. like if you have only one launcher you won't be able to clear its defaults but if you have more than one installed you'll have the option of clearing the defaults.

[Q] desktop app name cutoff

Is there a tweak or setting I can adjust so the names of apps on my desktop shows its full name rather than a fading-cutoff?
+1
Also wondering about this and the ability to maybe give a shortened name to an app on our homescreen.

Have you tried Go Launcher? It's similar to Launcher Pro, but it's free and you can rename applications on the home screens.

With Launcher Pro you have to use SQLite Editor. There's a free one for Windows, but can't think of the name right now. Use Root Explorer to grab /data/data/com.fede.launcher/databases/launcher.db
In Favorites you'll find all the titles. Just rename, save and replace the file. Do a backup first in case anything goes wrong.
Launcher pro always asks if you want to use a custom name when adding to the desktop for me though I choose to hide them altogether.
Also, iirc bettercut and desktop visualizer can do this quite easily.

I open the app drawer and just press and hold the icon, and add it that way. I just tried the way you described, and it was really slow to load.
I guess depending on how lazy I am, will depend on which method I use.
@mistaken
I occasionally see the slow load time for app list on the first use though it is not nearly as bad as it used to be.

[Q] How do i change default video download setting?

When you click the link to download video in web browser, it comes up with two possible selections. One is "Video" which means you can watch video while it downloads. The other is "Internet" which downloads the video as a file to your Video app folder. You can select either as default by ticking the box underneath. I've accidently set one of them to default by mistake. How do i get the option back of being able to select both methods of download?
Thanks

Go into your settings, and into the App Development or App Management area (forget what its called..=/). Then, find the one that you've set as the default and press it to open some options. One of those options should be "Clear Defaults", and that should take care of it.

[Q] Sense 5.0 App Intergration

Hi
Does anyone know how to share images from Facebook to whatsapp, or whatsapp to whatsapp ???
I have been using touchwiz for a couple of years now and the app integration was awsome.
Have i missed something, or is their a lack of app integration on this device???
Thanks
AFAIK, in whatsapp: press the paperclip > press photo/album > select Facebook folder > select pic.
idk about Facebook, i dont use it.

Yeah, they all show up in the Gallery so just use whatever option in the particular app to add picture, pick Gallery, and look for them there.

Thanks, i was looking for something more specific in sharing from the app itself. I initially saw 4 apps that i can share with, but did not realise that I can scroll down.

How do I reverse this preference in contacts?

Hi guys
When editing a contact and adding a picture to it, it used to give me several options, like whether I would like to add the picture from Album, Picture Editor, Picture Viewer, File Manager etc and then it would ask Once Only or Always...
Well somehow Dropbox got selected together with the Always option so whenever I want to add a photo to my address book it only now offers me Dropbox.
I can't figure out for the life of god how to reset or reverse that so that I can select photos from my album again...
Any help?
Please... Lol
Thanks!!

The only way which I know is to uninstall Dropbox form Android and install again, after that when you will select the pictures will appear all the options.
Thanks I will try that!

Yhea, I know, in this case working what way. If you do this with Whazzup, for example you want send a pic and you select Always with Album, in this case you don't have to uninstall Whazzup but just keep pushing the botton attachment and the option will appear. Should working that way for everything but actually is not.

Or you could go to SETTINGS > APPS and then "clear default" in the app you don't want to be the selected by default... Is not necessary to uninstall...

Ok, so try this, go to Whazzup, and try to send a picture to someone, whazz will ask you which album or whatever you want to use, select always and the Album which you like, now when you want to send a pictures you will always use the same app with the album which you selected by default.
Now go to Settings > Apps > Whazzapp and see in you can click on Clear Default, because to me is not working in that way, maybe with some app only.

Because the one you need to clear is not whatsapp... Should be the app that is by default opening the pictures... for example "Settings > Apps > "Gallery or media app opening the pictures by default in whatsapp" then "Clear default"... I hope I could make myself clearer this time...
I hope it helps
