Hi,
Just flashed a Jelly Bean ROM to my wife's I9000 and it seems that there is now a very annoying feature. The 'Complete Action Using' popup menu now requires an extra click to load the app you want.
Previously you had the option to select an app to perform a certain function, for example to make a call you could choose Phone, Skype or Viber etc., you also had the option to set this choice as the default so you would not get asked the question again. In this instance, my wife (and me as well) would not want to select a default action as to which app you would use to make a call as this would depend on who you were calling, network connection etc.
Now, on Jelly Bean, if you don't set a default action, you are forced to press 'Just Once' every time you want to start an app from this menu, doubling the amount of clicks than before.
Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks.
*bump*?
I'm just struggling with the same annoying semi-'feature' :/

@.wojtek,
Have you received anything from google regarding this issue? My wife's really bending my ear about it now. Might have to go back to ICS, just because of this!!!
no, unfortunatelly not... and I think I won't at all. The only solution will be probably to star the issue on the google code and make a 'fuss' on the internet about it...
Jelly Bean Anoying defult "complete action using"
Man.. how annoying.,
could someone please make a patch. if one doesn't already exist
You can double tap the desired program and it will launch that as the once only selection. Or you can try a Rom that has restored the single tap behavior PAC has this so you only need to tap once to select the once only option.

Hello all,
So I hate repetitiveness in the UI so I have swapped the dedicated VM button with an "goto/initiate SMS" button. We already have a voicemail button by pressing or dialing one why do we need two?

Glad to see you around here
very cool.
Any chance you can make the dialer numbers scalable as well? (for alternate DPI?)
Forcing the log button to stick on what you want logged would be great too. Right now, if you hit log or the press the green phone button, you get a log of all calls and SMS messages. You can switch it in the menu but it reverts right back to log all. I loved how my cappy would show you logs of just the phone calls made/recieved.
Nice + 1 setimg up now

Hate to ask but how do i install this? I tried uninstalling contacts in titanium backup and restarting first, but when I tried to install the apk it just said "not installed", I do have unknown sources allowed in settings.

Place it in system/app (to replace the existing one) via root explorer (and fix the permissions to match everything else in the folder, rw-r-r).
Is this for stock?

This does not work on a stock/rooted phone. Maybe on a custom rom but pushed it on a stock phone and the SMS button takes me to voicemail.
Well i know where it is. It's in the number/signs button in the left corner. But it used to be next to space on arc. I mean it's a key you use all the time when you text. First ss is from a text message. Second ss is from the browser where the keyboard is deffrent and the period button is next to space. Theird ss is from some settings where the period is also there. And the keyboard is abit deffrent again.
So my question is. Is this the same on your devices? Or did i miss something? Can i change the look of the keyboard in mail and sms. Without downloading a completly new keyboard.

Hi,
I'm guessing you also have a Danish phone? I'm not sure as to why it isn't displaying an period, because it do so by default on my phone.
Try calling Sony's Xperia support on 70203603. If you didn't get any SmartTags, you'll also be able to get them for free here.
Is normal, can't really do anything about it...
The best way to enter a period is to either press space and select it from the autocomplete bar, or just press space twice.
Another method is to use the character pane. You can now tap, drag to a symbol and then release to enter symbols with one tap/swipe.

Yes it's a danish phone. I just called the number. And he told me the most easy way was to hit space twice after you finished a sentence. Then it make a dot and a space so your ready for the next sentence.
I told him about that i didn't got any NFC tags. So i just gave him the IMEI number and he will send me 4 tags in the mail for free.
So you deserve a Thanks
How do we let Google know to go back to the default app selector? The one in ICS just required 1 click to select from the list of available apps. I know that I don't always like selecting a default app because for things like links I like being presented with the option of different browsers etc. And if I define a default it can be a hassle to undo the default. I just don't like how I have to select "Just Once" every time. I liked how it worked in ICS that there was a check box to define the default if yo unwanted to, but to select the app was just 1 click. I hope that Google will revert in versions to come!

Completely agree with you! At times i prefer opening links in the pop up browser, and other times in the full blown one. Think we can get people for a petition?

agreed, i use chrome as my default, but would really like the option of having the pop up... good point, but doubtful we can do much right now.
Take a chill pill guys. Android 4.2 fixes this issue, so this will become a non-issue whenever Verizon's Note II gets that software update. http://www.pocketables.com/2012/11/...popup-to-bypass-annoying-selector-system.html

Haha. But even if Verizon takes forever to officially release 4.2 for this phone, I'm sure there will be leaks. Or if the bootloader ever gets unlocked, an AOSP version of 4.2 or Key Lime Pie could be developed for those who don't mind the lack of S-Pen features.
But at the end of the day, this app selector issue is pretty minor. The phone's still fine otherwise.
That's good news.... I didn't realize that they had fixed this in 4.2. I can wait as long as there is hope.
I upgraded my i-727 from 4.2.1 (stock AT&T rom) to the Supernexus 4.4.2 rom (clean flash with ClockwokMod Recovery). I really like it a lot. It is a lot faster then my old bloated stock rom that had become super sluggish and glitchy. There are a couple of things that I really miss from the old rom though, that I would like to get back if I can.
There were two features that I really liked in the old 4.2.1 stock rom that are not present in Supernexus 4.4.2. There was notifications (shortcuts actually) on the lock screen for missed calls and new text messages, and there was also notifications that appeared on the the app icons on the home screen that alerted me to new emails, missed phone calls and new text messages. I don't know the proper terminology to calls these home app icons that showed these notifications, I just call them "Live Widgets". If that is incorrect, please tell me the proper name.
I have looked all over the play store for a lock screen app that would bring back the missed call and new message notification and active shortcuts to my lock screen and have not found anything even remotely similar in appearance and function. As far as the Live Widgets that used to show how many new text messages, missed calls and emails I had; in the Supernexus rom, Hangouts has replaced the messaging app that came with 4.2.1 and it does not offer a live widget and the same is true for the email app and the phone dialer.
To give you a better understanding of what I am talking about here are a couple of pictures from my old lock screen and home screen from 4.2.1. The functions came standard in that rom and were not something that I added or customized. I would really like to get them back if I can.

I love knock on, and it works great for me. But some people apparently have a problem with the phone turning on in their pocket. The Sprint ZV6 update supposedly has some changes included to address this problem, but how effective it will be is anyone's guess. I was recently involved in a discussion elsewhere as to whether it would be possible to use Tasker to prevent knock-on from working in your pocket, but I don't think it is.
I did discover another approach, though, that will work. Verified on the LS990 with BarRin v2, but it should work on any rooted G3 with a stock-based kernel. ( IF you have an AT&T or T-Mobile version, you can probably find this setting in HiddenMenu without using the Shortcut Master app, by entering the dialer codes as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365)
Note that this will turn off both knock on and knock OFF. If you still want to use knock off, you'll need to use one of the many screen off apps in the play store, in combination with an alternate launcher like Nova or Apex.
1. Download and install Shortcut Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
2. Open the app and select Search from the menu. Enter hiddenmenu in the search field, and press search.

3. Scroll down and find the row for com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.LgSrvKnockonSetting
4. Tap that row, and then tap on "Launch"
5. Change the toggle from On to Off, then back out of Shortcut Master.
You can repeat the steps to turn it back on.
Been using this since day one. Worse idea I've ever heard of, having this enabled. I'm sure other will appreciate this too.
Thanks.
also for verizon,search knock and you should find it for verizon users
Same, I disabled this right away back in Sept using the exact method posted. But awesome tutorial, pics and all. Good work!

Marginally, yes but barely noticeable. Unless it was constantly going off in your pocket, thats a big battery waster, lol.
