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.

It does but I don't like the feature I always disable it on any keyboard..
Had a ton of issues with the last beta and ended up going back to the standard Swiftkey. Got an email earlier, I'll have to give this one a try.

I'm still trying it out .. I'm not really interested in the facebook,gmail,etc.. learning setting..so I been using it as I always have so far I haven't had an issue yet I noticed a bit of improvement with voice to txt ..
Just downloaded it and have noticed it is alot better than the previous beta. Although I have noticed a few bugs, sometimes when I hit the space bar it goes backwards. It also auto creates a word after using punctuation. That
may be because I have set to rapid.

Minor keyboard issue
I LOVE SwiftKey! This beta has been working fairly smoothly since download, but whenever I use my hard keyboard (Evo Shift) the "!" doesn't work. I end up with a "?" whether I use the function key to select it or not. Weird. The other thing I noticed is that when I use the back key in some apps, it doesn't take me to the previous screen, I'm stuck with the prediction bar.
It's still functional enough for me to continue using it without reverting back to the paid version. Did I mention that I LOVE SwiftKey??
As title says...how do I add the additional quick links to the pull menu bar (screen brightness, ringer volume, rotate)???
I've been looking and am hoping someone can help....I don't want to flash a different ROM to get them, just mod the one I'm on now. A flashable zip would be even better
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for posting this. Do you have to do anything else besides flash this? I'm pretty n00b at looking inside apks
i flashed this and I didn't get any extra settings. Any ideas? Thanks, I'm on stock rooted btw
Yeah, HTC should really offer some customization of their quick settings.
I'd personally like to see an option to put the phone in standby, like is available on some MIUI ROMs. The less I need to use the hard power button, the longer it'll last.

I think this is what I have but it's made for gingerbread 2.3.3 which works for the most part on 2.3.4 but instead of saying "of or on" it just says "1% 2%". Are you using 2.3.4?
is there an update of this zip for 2.3.4?
Thanks!

Screen off and lock from the market.
Solves your problem.
I've seen plenty of discussion about the One X series multitasking performance and tweaks to address it, but not much about HTC's UI for recent apps. I really don't like the cover-flow-like UI - I really don't need the 3D or reflections effects, it limits what I can see to only 2-3 apps (and only 1 with a name), and it requires extra scrolling to get to an app 2 or 3 back.

Maybe I am terrible at searching, but is there a way to get the standard ICS recent apps view?
No way of getting the stock ics multitasking yet. Only way is to run an aosp Rom.

:crying:
On the Charmeleon rom you can disable the sense recent apps. Which reverts it to vanilla style.
I'm going to be blunt. Yes. yes you are.
I too dislike the cards, but as regalpimpin said, the Char ROM is the only one I've seen that has the option for stock recent apps UI. Would love a flashable zip for this, or how-to on disabling the Sense version.

I knew I was asking for it with that title. Clearly that's not entirely true, but I am surprised it doesn't bother more people. Even the GB recent apps UI was more efficient for switching, unless of course what you wanted was more than 6 apps back.
I'll have to give Charmeleon ROM a try. Or maybe I will go back to using Wave Launcher for now since I've got the recent apps button mapped to menu anyway.
Ok guys I just got tasked with something major.
My shop has been approved to buy tablets to hold our tech data to work on equipment. The only issue is they cannot have camera access, wifi access or bluetooth. This is just to insure that people dont end up bringing them home, loading a bunch of games on it and bringing it back to work. Its strictly going to be for PDF files and Pictures of configuration stuff. I was wondering if there was a Device administrator apk out there where I can just select these options to disable. If not, I am willing to PayPal someone some beer money if they can help me out with this. I know my way around android as with rooting and what not, but when it comes to dev I am completely clueless. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction that would be awesome, thank you.
This may work.
If you can't find it in the Play Store, I can attach an APK for you. But basically this allows you to disable most features of a phone/tablet to prevent kids from using a certain feature, but I'm guessing it can be used here too.

In Need Better Recent App Management. Please Help?
After having a LG G3 for a while and the moving on to other phones I realized that my LG had the best most customizable way to handle my recent apps. Lollipop is nice and pretty but not near as fast as my old LG. I started to look on the play store to find a replacement, but shockingly no one has made a app like this. I am wondering is it because it would be too hard to make an app like this, or is it that no one has had the idea about making it yet. Its seems simple, but I'm not a Dev. A recent app menu where you can pinch to zoom to get more or less recent apps on the screen.
