I accidentally selected "Entertainment Center" as the default action the last time I docked my Atrix, now I have to scroll over to launch the WebTop, how do I reset this so that it prompts me each time I dock?
...v
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>"All" Tab>Entertainment Center>Clear Defaults.
Mostly the same thing for any other defaults.
Thanks

Hey, I've noticed that my home button changes its function on its own. I used to have it set up to open the camera, but now it's back to using the voice command feature. This is my second attic - but it happened on both.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Go to Settings-
Applications-
Double Tap Home Launch Then chose what you want to work as double tap.
Thanks. I know how to change it. What the problem is though, is that after I set it (to the camera for example), it would change back to the default voice command randomly. No recent application installs either

First of all I have a Sprint Epic Touch 4G AKA Samsung Galaxy 2 S and not rooted, but I think this is an Android problem after 4 days of trying to find a solution.
I keep getting prompt to select which launcher(launcher or twlauncher) when I press the home button. I would select set as default and then select twlauncher. This would work fine and I could do what I want and the home button acts normally. BUT if I long press the home button to bring up task manager and a list of recent apps, it would break the default setting on twlauncher. I could go to setting and manage app and see that the default on twlauncher is now cleared even though I did not manually clear it. I tried checking set as default and then select launcher. It too won't stick AFTER I long press the home button.
Long story short, I downloaded several launchers from the market and none of them will stay set as default IF I long press the home button. It breaks the default every time and ask me to select the launcher to use when I press the home button. Now this would be great if I could just delete all the other launcher and have only one but I can't delete the stock launcher or twlauncher.

So the first time this happen, I was driving down the road using telenav when I see the prompt to select which launcher(something that I've never seen after using the phone for 2 weeks). Did some research elsewhere and found no solutions so here is what I have done in chronological order:
1. Start task manager and kill all active app and clear memory from RAM
2. Clear defaults from manage application....twlauncher
3. Click home button, click set as default and then launcher instead of twlauncher- still does not stick after long press home button.
4. Manage application...twlauncher CLEAR DATA (sure enough my neatly organized homepage and apps folder was reset to stock).
5. Pull battery
6. Cycle power on and off.
7. Gave up after 24 hours and factory reset the phone.
8. Went on my merry way and reinstall apps and customizing home page and apps pages and so on.
9. In hindsight, I should have long press home button every time I installed a new app to see which one will break the default.
10. Phone works fine for 24 hours and then it mysteriously acts up again. It ask me to choose which launcher again.
11. Went back to googling and tried the following which did not work:
a. clear media hub data and default
b. installed Sprint "clean" ID and then later deleting it.
c. installed go launcher and see if it will stick
d. installed launcher pro
e. installed home switcher
f. I don't have Qik or some child lock apps
g. search XDA and found about 15 threads and tried everything in those thread short of using Titanium to freeze one launcher.
Any update on a working solution? Right now I just won't long press the home button to bring up task manager or recent apps and everything will work just fine. Minor annoyance but I guess I can live with it until the ICS update.
its because the task manager is part of TWlauncher and will break the default launcher selection when you use it

No it won't break the default launcher on my wife's stock Samsung epic 4 G touch. I could long press the home button and it won't ask me to choose which launcher when I press the home button.
Fixed Default Laucher Problem.
So I decide to finally root the phone and install Calk's Rom 2.0. Everything was working great but finally, long press the home button breaks the default launcher again. There was only two launchers installed by default. Launcher Pro and TWLauncher. I wiped Dalvik Cache but the problem resurfaced after a few long press.
I launched ES File Explorer, enable root access, show hidden files, navigate to system/app and rename LauncherPro.apk to LauncherPro.bak. That fixed the problem and I rebooted just to make sure. Since there is only one launcher available now, I can't break the default launcher anymore no matter how many time I long press the home button.
Have you tried uninstalling the original home app???

What do you mean by "original home app"? Home switcher, launcher, twlauncher?
I did not find the option to uninstall LauncherPro in Calk 2.0 ROM and no option to freeze it using appextractor either. But renaming the extension to .bak did the trick. I like twlauncher better than launcherpro anyway.
No need to flash new rom or do a factory reset

I had the same problem and did a factory reset that temporarily solved the problem but that is definitely not the solution.
The problem is the third party software that could be any app (for me was"Photoid Pro")
The Solution: When it happen for the first time (you must reboot after each App installation and if you are prompted to select a Launcher) immediately delete the app you just installed and reboot again, I am sure you will be back to your default launcher.
If already have the problem you should install "Launcher Switcher" from "google play" open and if you see anything beside your launchers Delete them and that would set you back to default launcher.
Install One App at a time so you know the culprit.

Is there a way to set Dolphin HD as the default web browser and use the tray icon to access it?
Thanks
Yez. You can download an application called Launcher Pro. It allows you to customize the dock, etc. It's free, and available on the Market.

The tray icons (aside from the app drawer shortcut) are all customizable. Enter the app drawer (not the home screen), hit the menu button, then hit edit. It may ask you to switch to the customizable grid. Go ahead and do it if it asks, you can change back later (this is a bug in touchwiz). At this point you can drag icons into and out of the tray area. Hit the back button to lock them in place. If you had to change from an alphabetical arrangement in the app drawer to customizable grid, you can change back by hitting menu, view type, and choosing whatever style you wish.
As for the default browser, just hit "remember my selection" whenever it prompts you to choose one, and choose Dolphin HD. You can clear any default app settings by going into the "settings" app, hitting "applications", "manage applications", and selecting the application that is currently set at the default app for a specific task. In the list of settings there will be a "launch by default" section with an option to clear it as default.
That works. I didn't know about that trick of going to Edit under the application list page and rearranging the dock.

Not exactly sure, it sounds like you turned on easy mode under display in settings. Change it back

You defaulted to the easy launcher goninto settings and clear defaults for the easy launcher then press home and select tw launcher. Alternatively install a different home screen app, hit the home key select tw launcher for always and uninstall the home screen app u installed previously

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.
