How can I stop system set the default browser app? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I just want always choose browser app by myself!
Even when I go to chrome's app info page, and clear open by defaults, then when I go to configure apps page the browser app still set as chrome by system again.
The Browser app page show "Chrome (system default)"
I'm using OxygenOS 4.0.3 , Rooted , How can I fix it ?

On configure apps page you must choose the browser you want to use. If you only have chrome installed it will allways say chrome by default

Not sure it will work, but give it a try.
In developer options change webview to stock.
It sets to chrome when chrome is installed.
Maybe it. Will work

Original Browser hangs up...

Hi,
i got my Optimux 2x speed yesterday.
While playing suddenly my browser is not starting up. it crashes as soon as i press the icon.
see youtube movie for similar problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-jCHPJpTiE
I tried a factory reset, cleared the cache. but still is crashing.
anybody an idea how to fix it?
Maybe the original LG Rom wasnt flashed properly.
If even with factory reset it's still there, its supporting this theory.
The only solution I see is replacing for new one or wait for Gingerbread/Custom ROMs here on XDA.

have you try to replace the LG Laucher with LauncherPro ??
and ~~~ as i see in taiwan forum ~~ none of this problem have been found in the try function ~~~
(sorry for my poor english)
I tried the LauncherPro, and also here it is crashing. same message like before.
Is there no option to completely overwrite the firmware? just like a HTC telephone?
Try to clear data and cache for the browser via settings > applications and see if that helps.

Read here about apk. You have to copy apk file to /system/app with rootexplorer
I downloaded the browser.apk. just renamed the zip file to apk.
with super manager and root I copied the browser.apk file into the system/app folder.
and everything is working like a charm!
now quickly make a backup before it is not working again.
thanks!!!
edit:
found a small problem.
The icon of the browser is now located at the downloaded apps in the programs menu. and has the blue (N) in the icon. how can i remove the blue (N) from the (N)ew program.
Not really sure,
But when you use titanium backup you can freeze and defreeze a program after that he'll put it back in the orginal folder (system tools). That worked for me at least
it fixed the problem with the browser icon!
now only the superuser icon has a blue N. but this one is not in the titanium backup list.
hi,
i can't remove the original Browser Bookmarks, vodafone, chat .... I don't know , please help me!

Need ur help to do these things

Brothers,
Need ur help to enable power save for wifi ( hence running wifi make battery drain), also how i can stop automatic update service, each time i uninstall the new market its reinstalled again !! I hate it its so bad, also it take a lot of space of device memory.
with thx
Yea, it automatically updates the market and other google apps. WE can stop app form automatically updating by going to My apps and then choose a app and then deselecting the option Allow Automatic Updates --it can be done while installin apps too-- in description or similar. You can try it for market too. But, I don't think we can stop google from updating its system app.

The option allow automatic upgrading is available while installing an app from market.
Go to My Apps> Select a app> Uncheck Allow automatic updates.
I have attached images files if you want to see. Sorry for the zip file didn't have time to post image here.
It is good if you don't want other app to update automatically. Also, I searched for market but it is not there, think the OS manages system apps upgrade. You can search for if you want --may be you will find it.
All the best
Market app will install the update automaticly, no matter how many times you downgrade this app.
Maybe there is way to that, but i don't know how.
For other app, you can open the market app, then press menu button and select My Apps. Choose any apps that you don't want to automatic update, then uncheck the Allow Automatic Updating option.
Hope it help you out.

HELP!

So here's my problem. I successfully flashed my Galaxy S GT-I9000 to ICS Infinitum but I have a problem. I tried installing apps which is root required but my phone says I need to root my phone in order to use that app but when I check, I have superuser access. I can't even see my sim contacts. And I tried disabling 2g but 3g won't come up. How will I fix this? I wanted to post this to Infinitum thread but system won't allow me because I'm a newbie. Please help
Go to recovery mode and wipe data and cache
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

EDIT: Thank you. I have my 3g working now And with the root problem, I went to superuser preferences and allow it always. Thanks dude! Is there a way to go back to my old gallery? I like the 3d gallery.
I had a bug on CM9 where Superuser permissions wouldn't pop up, going into superuser and changing the setting to automatically allow worked, but I don't recommend doing this for obvious security reasons.

Did you find something weird about the camera? I think mine is a little bit dark. And yes I know about that superuser permission. But the thing is, you wouldn't install that app if you don't want it to be allowed right? Of course you always allow those apps that you want to install that's why I set it to 'always allow'
EDIT: Is there a way to set my notification tone and ringing tone?
Funny. Can't even send a message. Can't add recipients. Tch
Make "Fix permissions" in the recovery.

Good to hear that is working now!=)
If you mean Android's stock gallery, I attach it. Download it to your sdcard.
Download File Manager (Rhytm Software).
Then open it-->settings-->scroll--->check root explorer-->click yes--->check Mount system folders.
Now copy that .apk to system/app and reboot.

Dammit. It appears you're right. I noticed messenger installed on my phone just now and I didn't put it there. It too is apparently a system app. WTF? First I heard of this. Not cool with me. Just as I was saying to myself that it didn't seem like there was a whole lot of TMO bloatware and now this? I mean, sure most people are going to have it anyway but...
Go into root explorer search. Delete reboot it gone

I have deleted the Facebook.apk from system/app folder but even after reboot the Facebook app remains and cannot be uninstalled. I've searched for facebook and nothing else is showing up. Although I do see FBAppManager.apk, FBInstagram.apk, FBMessenger_stub.apk and FBPagesManager_stub.apk.
Apparently I am not deleting the correct .apk file?

Cant change default browser

Firstly I am on Dev Rom 6.12.29 (I am trying to unlock and I keep getting the "can't verify device error").
For whatever reason weblinks automatically open in the stock browser.
When I try to clear defaults in the app section the option is greyed out as if the stock browser is not even set as default.
Any ideas how to change this?

This may work,more of a work-around than a fix (if one isn't available):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith&hl=en
When initially prompted to choose a default,select "Better Open With".
Afterwards,you should get the typical options of apps available & not locked into a default app.

You follow the link to download unlock tool for your PC.

Do you have another browser installed? Sorry had to ask if the power is plugged in.
Then,
Settings -> Installed Apps -> Defaults -> Browser -> ?? Choose that browser?
does any other browsers show up? If not, I suggest uninstalling Chrome, if that's your app, then going into defaults click on the system browser, then reinstall chrome, and then go back and choose that Chrome in that settings.
See if that works.
