I am rooted, and modified the build.prop to change the app associations lock due to the Apple patent. I can open my Youtube links in the Youtube app, and my calendar invites in the calendar app. However, my web links still open in the stock browser, and I do not get the pop-up to select which app I want to use. The app associations menu in the settings is now gone with the edit. How can I set which apps perform which actions now?
Thanks
Go to settings->manage apps->Internet and press clear defaults. You should get the menu then.
Perfect, thanks!

On ICS, the People app - I was looking at a contact and wanted to change the picture. By mistake I set the wrong app to open when i change the picture. How do I undo that?
I tried finding the people app int he apps list and clear settings, but it still uses the wrong app?
Go into Settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications, and find whatever app you set to use as default (the one you chose by accident). Tap it, and then on the screen that appears find the button "Clear defaults". Tap it. Then this app should no longer be the default for that task.

Wow that's insane. So instead of removing the setting for the app that USES it, you remove the assassination for ALL apps that use it? Good design there Google.
But thanks for your help!
Verizon GSIII - launching the stock browser gives me a blank page. I have gone into settings and set my home page as google and that did not work. I have restored the default setting for the browser and that did not work. any suggestions on how to get the browser to load the home page when launched?
Also, I would like to create a shortcut to Google Voice Search (Google search bar has it) so that i can use it as one of my lock screen shortcuts, but it does not show up in my application list.
Try clearing app data under SystemSettings->Apps->All->Browser
If that doesn't help - use Opera or Chrome from Play Market.
I'm not sure about lockscreen customizations - RTFM.

I just flashed the 2.13 stock ROM, edited my build.prop to get around the linkify issue (ro.da1.enable=false, etc), however, the App associations menu is still listed in my settings menu, and my calendar app now points me to the browser instead of the calendar. On top of that, I don't get the pop-up to choose which app I want to use, even when I clear defaults.
Is this a known issue, and is there a fix out there?
Thanks
I just installed the stock deodexed Jelly Bean ROM and I've run into a weird problem. I have GMail, Facebook, Evernote, etc installed, but they don't show up as options in the 'Share via' menu in Chrome and other apps. All I get in the 'Share via' menu are four options: Astrid Tasks, Bluetooth, chomp SMS, and Dropbox. I've tried reinstalling Chrome and the various other apps that I would like to have in the menu, but no luck. All apps show up just fine in the Gallery app's 'Share' menu, but I think that menu is specific to Gallery since it's an HTC app, not a native Android app. Anyone know how to edit the "Share via" menu or how I can get these missing options to show up?
its now a scrollable menu, should be able to scroll up and down.

Wow. I can't believe how dumb I am. I was going through the XML files, looking for where the share menu config settings might be. It simply didn't occur to me that the menu might be scrollable since it occupied such a small portion of the screen. D'oh. Thanks a million.
In any case, I did find an app with a good workaround for my non-existent problem:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share&hl=en
The purpose of this app is that it lets you replace the standard share menu with a customizable share menu in which you can select multiple sharing options at once.

Wow, I am an idiot.
How can this be done?
For example:
Changing the default Gallery app to another from the Play Store. Not just for a few instances but system wide, like wallpaper setting or contact image setting.
For reference, I'm using a debloated ROM that had Camera, Gallery, and some others. I've found replacements I like but would still like to have use of the lock screen shortcuts and other features, but using these new apps.

I may be a bit late here and its disappointing that nobody answered a simple question.
Isn't it in the menu for settings? Swipe over to Applications and look for Application Defaults. Also, some may be located under the Phone, messaging, and Contacts option in that same tab. If all else fails there's a "clear defaults" option. Do that and then as you open those apps, selects the one you want to use by default.
Some apps have a "set as default" option also.
