Running a Sense 3.6 or 4.0 ROM and tired of not having a choice what app to use?
Sick of Apple and their patent infringement lawsuits?
This script will revert the workaround HTC put in place to comply with the ITC's order to remove the patent infringement.
This script makes a backup of your current build.prop, and then EDITS IT IN PLACE.
What does this mean? It means you can flash THIS file on ANY ICS 3.6 or 4.0 ROM on this phone and it will not mess up any tweaks your specific ROM dev has put in place.
Why is this important? There are a number of build.props edited with this fix (and others)...some of them are from the stock ROM and some are from various other custom ROMs. Simply copying one over your current build.prop could lose you important optimizations, or custom fixes your dev has set up. By flashing this script you keep those customizations and still get the benefit of having your choices back.
Instructions:
To tell if this edit worked for you, check in settings. If the app associations menu option is gone, then it worked.
You will need to clear defaults for specific programs in order to have a choice pop up.
Example:
If you have selected Chrome for your default browser in app associations, you will need to go to menu/settings/apps/downloaded/Chrome/clear defaults.
The next time you tap a URL you will have a choice of which browser to use.

Thanks to iconeo for the original thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1693809
Thanks to Steal25 for the actual build.prop edits.
I am including two zip files. The first one will make the build.prop change to allow you to choose your own defaults.
The second one (HTCLinkify-revert.zip) will allow you to put your build.prop back to its default.
There are other build.prop edits out there and I will be creating ROM agnostic flashable zips for those as well.
Please let me know if there are any issues with this flash.
Good idea on packaging it this way it'll make it easy for those that havent made edits to a build.prop yet.
very good!

Right, that was my thought as well. Plus this way if a dev updates the ROM but doesn't add this fix in as a default, it's the easiest way to get it back.

Thanks. That was my whole point: I could see times where people would just copy over random build.prop that already had the tweak, over a ROM with a heavily edited build.prop and mess up everything their ROM Dev was trying to do...and then I thought of the poor devs trying to cope with figuring out random glitches due to build.prop changes and I thought...hey, let's make this easy for EVERYONE.
Now the users don't have to edit it themselves and the devs don't get stuck trying to figure random bugs out without knowing a user may have changed build.prop, or overwritten it.
Win for everyone.

Nope. This mod allows you to choose what app you want to launch when clicking on say a URL. This is the functionality that Apple claimed infringed one of their patents.
It doesn't have anything to do with 3rd party apps, aside from allowing you to decide which one you want to launch, either each time, or by default.

I'm still kind of confused, so was the patent on the "Complete action using" dialog box? I thought that was present in all Androids for years now, and I thought iOS didn't even give you an option.

Yep, that's what it was about. And whether android has been using it forever or not isn't the point. Apple dusted off their patent book and found that it was infringing.
Stupid patent law system.

I'll post it tomorrow. Just to be sure, what version of Swype is this?
I no longer have it installed, so I don't have the version number.
I just know it's the one from the Nexus.
I also remember that reinstalling swype beta required deleting both files, clearing data just to be sure, and then rebooting before running the swype installer. Otherwise it would install but then you would get the swype force closes. Installing it properly fixed that though.

Is this Flashable or does it need to manually added?
This is not flashable. The two files have to be placed in the app and lib folders, with the proper permissions. Just to make sure I would recommend to clear data first. Reboot is also likely necessary.
I will say again, this does not fill the screen for qhd devices, but the keyboard still works, albeit too cumbersome to really use all the time.

The most recent beta has the same features.
Just thought I'd share with you guys if anyone wants the messaging app from stock 4.0 here it is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms
Note:
1. You need to disable the HTC messaging app or you get 2 notifications, you can simply rename it to mms.apk.bak in root explorer. Just take out bak to reinstall it if you want to go back
2. If you do disable HTC mms then sometimes picture messaging force closes the aosp mms app

I'm not sure that this particular method would work if you keep those names, but who knows, there may be a workaround. I actually keep the files with descriptive names in dropbox, but when I move the ones I want to use over to the SD card, I rename them 1 through whatever. That way, I keep the names for my purposes, but they behave when they're on my phone.
Definitely worth the effort to learn how to use Tasker, it's really a revolutionary app. You can eliminate a LOT of standalone apps that just do specific tasks like this using Tasker, and make your phone behave in ways that are positively magical.
Whenever I click a YouTube link it opens in the browser instead of the App.
Is this pertaining to the "data tapping" patent that Apple somehow was awarded and does anyone have any idea how to make it work as previously intended and open in the YouTube app.

If you have root you can use a file explorer and rename htclinkifydispatcher.apk to something like htclinkifydispatcher.apkBAK. This will break a few things. You won't be able to open any links from the default text app, google talk will crash everytime you try to open a link, and you won't get youtube links to work in stock browser, but all other programs work fine.

Jesus Christ...I froze mine with titanium but YouTube still opens in browser. I will try it your way and see if I can live with it.
Why must Apple mess with HTC. I have had a Samsung Galaxy S and GS2 since the first Epic launched and this is seriously the one thing I hate about the EVO. Esp if I have 6 tabs open when I try to click a link.
On Viper also not that that matters.
Does any devs or anyone have any thoughts about reverting it back and having it be stable?

If you use a third party messaging app it's fine. Honestly HTC just needs to add more options to their app associations. Sense ROMs from other countries don't have this problem so a custom sense rom using their apks would solve this problem.

Is it possible to install the AOSP ICS keyboard apk pulled from an AOSP rom and install it onto stock Sense 3.6 and have it fully functioning?
I have my old MyTouch 4G on an AOKP rom and I pulled LatinIME.apk from it. Now I'm just wondering whether this keyboard would function properly on my unrooted stock Amaze.
EDIT: Would I also need LatinIMEDictionaryPack.apk as well?
You can just answer that yourself, try it, if it doesn't work, then voila, question answered, right?

That's probably because the android version is different, try pulling it from an ICS based rom, for like the sensation since that is similar to your device and give it a shot again before try to push it to the system.

What do you mean the Android version is different? I'm pulling it from an AOKP rom which is ICS based, however it may possibly be the different resolution on the 2 devices. WVGA (MyTouch 4G) vs qHD (Amaze)
I guess I'll just download CM9 for the Sensation and try again.
EDIT: LatinIME.apk from CM9 for the Sensation works like a charm!
I like the stock ICS keyboard as well, compared to sense. You can also download a ICS keyboard straight from the Play store and use it right away.
I am Chinese using Motorola thus I got thousands of chances to play with different roms modified based on the stock. Many would change the ime, but some prefer the original.
I did notice when installing a stock ime update pack from Moto, that not only the Latin.apk is changed, but some other modification will be made in the system layer as well.
I believe it is like the stock browser or Google talk app, that a single file would not work functionally without the other parts related.

Now that I know that the AOSP keyboard works on Sense 3.6 flawlessly, I want to go about putting a full fledged AOSP application onto my Amaze. I want to try putting the AOSP messaging app on, but I do not think it will be as easy as a simple keyboard.
The stock messaging app on the Amaze and the AOSP messaging app on CM9 for the Sensation have the same filename. I'm not sure if I'm right here, but would this indicate that they can't be run side by side with each other?

As I said before, give it a shot, make a backup of your current app by copying it to your sd card or something, then replace it withe AOSP version, since I've noticed that files with the same name usually can't be installed together, even if you rename the other file, but you can give that a shot as well.

The thing about the current app is that it is the stock messaging app which is located under /system which I do not have access to modify as I am not rooted. If I install the AOSP version, it would be installed under /data. I am not sure how they would them interact, assuming that they can be installed side by side.

Hopefully not. I'll get around to doing this later today and report back after I pull the apk from CM9 for the Sensation.

You're not rooted, therefore your chance of screwing anything up is practically zero.

'Application not installed'
'An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed'
Guess I can't just install it and hope it would work. Any other means to getting this to work or am I just unable to install it?

From the message it gave you, the only way to get it to work is by replacing the current stock file with that file, but you have to root to do that, .

Is there anyway to modify the signature of the application or am I just being ridiculous?

You can get an apk signing app, that should change it, I'd recommend changing the name as well and keep your fingers crossed that it won't conflict again and well hope it works too.
Is there a reason to make this issue complicated? There are several free ports of the ICS keyboard available in the play store, why not simply install them in addition to the sense keyboard and use it as your primary input?

Because sometimes the complicated fix provides a nice learning which is much more valuable than the fix itself
