First close browser then:
Settings - Application manager - All
Scroll to Application "Internet" and select it, clear data and cache
Now you can remove the stock favorite

:good::good:Thanks a lot!!!:good::good:
It sounds like you have the solution there, (un)fortunately I bricked my phone last night.
Had to do a factory reset and installed a later stock firmware (I9300XXBLFB) which doesn't have any stock favorite.
Nevertheless I'm grateful for your response and hope it might help someone else who is still bothered by the same problem.

- Social Hub
- Photo Editor
- Calendar (check your mini app tray)
- Email (check your mini app tray)
All with dark-grey background theme. See photos to compare.
Half working
- Task Manager: fc on "Download" and "Storage" menu
- Task Manager widget: tab on it will direct you to Task Manager app, resizing it will cause fc.
WARNING:
BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL APPS FIRST BEFORE REPLACING WITH THESE APPS
You can do that by renaming the apps with .bak at the end.
These apps are deodexed.
INSTRUCTION:
1. Make sure you are on TW Rom. Stock Android 3.2/4.0 might not working.
2. Root Access needed (some apps need copy-paste method into system/app directory)
If someone need another apk to try, make a request, i will post here.
Two apps that really need your attention:
1. Video Maker
2. Launcher
The video maker is slightly different as yogeshmha mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498416
GT7.7 launcher comes with extra feature which is app folder, not in home screen but in app drawer! Watch here

1. As attached
2. or here: http://www.mediafire.com/?h7ttun2kai5tmt5
3. For Calendar app can found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22738261&postcount=5
Screenshot for preview
ENJOY
Thanks to sk806 for the full rom.
UPDATE
New Samsung Appstore
- i think it's new as it different from one that available in our rom. Check the screenshot.
Email (exchange.apk + memail.apk included).
- this one quite tricky. you need to clear cache & data first on original apps, then replace those with these one in system/app. otherwise fc will happen.
- memail.apk if you want email shortcut appear in your mini app tray.
find apk in attachment.
the 7.7 launcher would be nice. i would love to have that folder feature.
yep..me too. it fc a lot. hope someone can work on it.

as requested.
I was wondering, maybe throwing the phone.apk and stuff could let 10.1 and 8.9 tabs make phone calls? Or putting the 7.7 ROM itself?
I will attach the phone.apk later for anyone to try. I can't confirm as I own wifi version
updated: okay here the apk. feel free to try..

no problem..the apks below. im happy if it works for you..
Unfortunately simple replacing Phone does not work. I got full P6800 ROM, so will try tonight to replace more than a phone and flash modem from it, to see if there any difference, but i think Samsung put something deep in lib, to disable call for 10.1 Tab

good luck! meanwhile i noticed all those apks also included in p7510 rom...not sure the purpose..
I guess we just have to wait for Galaxy 10.1 Tab 2 to be released to the market. It's pretty much the same hardware as Tab 10.1, but have ICS and dial included. So we can rip the rom and put it to the tab 10.1.

How can i clear the chache $ data first ?? I tried to copy de apk files in in system/app but is not working ??
go to setting>application>manage application. tap on email n exchange app, clear cache and data. sure it will wipe out all your email account.
u need to setup your account back. copy paste email/exchange.apk I post here into your system/app directory. reboot then setup your account.
if u don't have / need exchange account then leave exchange apk

Whoo!! Completely forgot my login details since my last android device of htc hero.
I am not able to install the calendar app, is this bcos im on stock 3.2 rom which is not rooted or anything?
If yes, is there any alternative way to get it running without rooting?
Interesting. I just reinstall Overcam 2.3.1 and email start FC when i trying to replay by pressing to invoke keyboard. Never happens before. Does anybody experience tha same thing. Used to works fine. I clean the cash, and put email back to system/app using root explorer. Was working fine on Overcome 2.3
Aww TwLauncher force close....
The rest of the apps are fine though. Thanks.

[Q] [Leaked ICS] Where did my contacts tab go

So I installed the February leaked ICS for S2 and while everything works mostly ok I am missing the contacts tab on my dialer. The Contacts/Groups/etc tabs are on the "Contacts" up but unless I was high in the last few months I remember a 'Contacts' tab being on the dialer too... It's only annoying of course, but maybe I am doing something wrong here. I already tried scrolling the tab area to see if it was hidden somewhere, no game. Also did a wipe on CWM to check if it was the problem and still no contacts tab.

This is not a fix for your problem but an alternative....Just go to the market and try the "Go Contacts" install and put a shortcut to your home....
Google has separated phone and contact app in ICS it used to be one app.
Hence your problem.
There should be another app called Contacts. like an orange rectangle with a silhouette of a man.
You can get into contacts from the phone app by pressing menu and selecting contacts. Google removed the contacts button from the dialer.
Really? That's strange (not to say stupid). Go Dialer is ok I think. Any other Dialer suggestions? I would like one that let me edit the number format (I use the phone in US english and it formats the numbers as xxx xxx xxxx but all my phones are xx xxxx xxxx)
Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but I've heard a lot of good stuff about "Dialer One" on the market. It's free and has decent reviews as well. Good luck!

After updating to ICS on my Droid Bionic, I've been looking for a solution to the odd disappearance of the Contacts tab that I was so used to in Gingerbread. I suppose I could just train myself to open Contacts first instead of dialer when I want to call someone. If I can't seem to remember to do that, I can always open Dialer then tap the menu softkey and select "Search" at the top of the list -- it will take you right to Contacts. This seems to be much easier than installing other contact apps and / or rooting.
Good day.

Galaxy S 3 Crashes when copying to clipboard!! Help!

About 2 days ago my galaxy S3 started crashing the app when i would i would copy something to clipboard in that particular app. Happened in messages, contacts, and I'm testing what other apps.
but no1 has figured out a fix yet. I am running go launcher and have a feeling that, that might be the issue. I really don't want to factory reset -_- but if I have to i will. anybody?
if you think that Go luancher maybe the issue, why not just download another launcher from the market and see if it goes away while your running that launcher ---- i would do this first instead of a factory reset.

just tried apex launcher, and even went back into touchwiz and the same problem occurs. ill hold down a message or a contact. press copy message text or whatever else, and the black screens and a FC. Stock browser and stock contacts. I tried copying text from an email, but the interesting thing now is if i go to long press in any composition field i don't get a past option. Just a "clipboard" option and pressing that doesn't do anything
Have you tried Wiping Delvik Cache and fixing permissions in CWM??
I had the same problem and a factory reset sorted it out....try doing it

Hi everyone,
I also had this problem, I found a solution without do a factory reset.
The app in question is TestService.
First you have to clean the directory /data/clipboard, delete everything in it with root explorer. After that, go to manage applications and find the app TestService, uninstall the updates.
After a reboot, copy/paste should work again.

Try this before you do your factory reset, seems to have helped others with the same problem.

What did you do? Having the same problem since last week. I hope you can help.
It will crash whatever you try to copy from. The factory reset was the only thing that fixed mine seeing as I didn't want to root my S III immediately.

read the link, there's a fix in that forum for rooted users

Same thing happening to me on my samsung galaxy tab. Started two days ago, as well. Samsung tech support told me to reset to factory. I don't want to, I have too many apps, picture, videos etc on my tab. BUMMED I read about stopping testservice. Did that, still no joy. Said to clear data/clipboard folder. I checked, and NO clipboard folder can be found in my data folder.

[Q] How to remove annoying message "clear default app settings by going to settings"

[Q] How to remove annoying message "clear default app settings by going to settings"
Hello guys
Since JB on SGS3, my phone KEEPS asking me to set defaults for the same things, really bloody annoying.
"Clear defaults
Clear default app settings by going to settings > applications manager > all"
An utter pain in the arse. Anyone found a way to make Touchwiz remember defaults or to stop giving this newbie bollocks message?
I'd love some brainy hacker to make it gooo away!

Titanium -> backup/restore -> TouchWiz -> freeze
Make sure you have a proper launcher already loaded, like ADW/Nova etc.

thanks mate, i will try that!
i am thinking though, wouldnt freezing touchwiz also stop the (FANTASTIC) features of samsung, like the "stay on" feature and the excellent Samsung Calendar? Major reasons why I would never go back to Cyanogenmod.

NOPE!
after a reboot it is back to square one, the message comes up again.
there has got to be a way to make the system remember that stuff, surely?!
EDIT
not quite square one... it seems files I have opened before using a specific app will continue to work with that app automatically, but if I, for example, open a pdf document in Maildriod and tell it to open with Adobe reader, then click on the same PDF in the GMail app, it will ask me again... so it seems to be based on the app it is coming FROM and not the type of link/file you are clicking on. Pretty daft IMO.

No, Samsung apps are independent of TouchWiz and will work with any launcher.
The only repeating request for default I've experienced is when I left TouchWiz in after I'd added ADW - it came up after each boot to ask which launcher I wanted and then ignored the 'always' bit. After I frozen TouchWiz it's all working as expected, opening each file type responds with the app I've chosen to use with it (from the launcher).
I just tried the exact test you describe, opening a .pdf in two apps. After I'd set the option from each app it remembers the setting - but it just doesn't appear to be a system wide setting, like it would be in Windows.
If it keeps asking the same question from the same app then you may have a problem, otherwise I think it's just the way JB works.

I will check, though my nexus 10 tablet NEVER has a message telling me that I can clear default app settings... so it's not a google thing but a samsung one.
I will see over a week or so if it does remember, though i guess with each rom update I have to enter all the bloody defaults again... one of the down sides of customising rom's frequently.
cheers

Not for me, I cannot get that message to stop, My phone remembered no defaults before root or since. In fact rooting was the biggest waste of time I can think of, its changed nothing
why did you root if you didn't know what you needed it for?
