Hello dear posters,
I think my question is clear. You know Facebook gets updated almost every week. I don't remember but, for older versions of Facebook after hitting a video thumbnail, I was able to choose any player that installed my device ( MX Player, BSplayer etc.)
But after nowadays updates it's changed. When I hit a video it starts directly in Facebook app without asking which way I'd like to play..
I don't want to turn back to previous versions of Facebook and don't want to install 3th party apps.
Is there any ideas how to disable Facebook's default video player?
Can we change some permissions via Root Explorer?
Thanks in advance,

Thank you for your help dude but this is not the solution. You mentioned clear defaults. I know that ?
But The problem is, in Facebook app it doesn't ask you which player you'd like to play. After hitting a video it starts directly.
Therefore; you don't choose anything by mistake so as to clear defaults.

on the pc it's
settings/general/videos click to off
should be a similar thing in the app?
“Auto-play videos on Wi-Fi only”
will still do it on wifi but that's the best you can do for now until FB changes/fixes it.
maybe do FB through a browser instead of the app?
I think that there is a built in player in the app, so the solution should be browsing through a internet browser, which has been said.
No it's not working native browser, either..

Try using not the desktop version of Facebook, but the mobile version.
I've tested, also tested user agent switchers but failed.. I think the only solution to change Facebook files and change permissions via Root Explorer and text editor
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
Downgrade to older versions of Facebook app? The ones that allowed you to choose your vid player. You'll have to Google search it.
Thank you dear friends. These are solutions of think differently but i've been searching for a technical solution. Yes i know there are so many older facebook apks to solve that but that's not a real solution for me.. I want to use latest

is if there was a facebook app (3rd party alternative) for the galaxy tab?
it seems to be gone from the market.
Friend Me for Facebook is a great app for tablets
FriendCaster Tab for Facebook is also a great app, but it is still Beta and crashes a lot.
Personally I'm FriendCaster Tab for now and it has a lot of nice features
I have no problem just using the full FB website on my Tab.
Same as tried friendcaste and friend me but not complete so just use the web

Great post! Never even thought about using the web. Will try that
No matter what you use, the full site, the mobile site, or the sideloaded phone app...it is near impossible to tag people properly (just one complaint). In the full site you click a pic and it opens in that theater/lightbox popup thingy over the page, and if you click on the pic to tag, the tagging prompt opens but then when you click in it to start typing a name, it just goes away and you have to start again. You can never really get it. And I don't think the app lets you tag at all.
I am still in utter disbelief that there is no official Android tablet Facebook app. I mean, what's the holdup? Isn't this at the top of someone's (Facebook and/or Google/Android) to-do list?? I just don't understand.....it's been months now...

uhh, It should be pointed out that there is no official Facebook app for the iPad either.
I paid for friendcaster and loved it, I even used it on my phone over the official Facebook app but the last update ruined it for me on both devices. The news feed will leave stuff out and now on my tab I can't connect it to my contacts. I also have heywire texting app and it would pull the pictures from the contacts so I could see a pic of the person I am texting instead of just a name. Also when I click a photo someone posted it will load a completely different photo from the album.
I hope it gets work out in a new update, I finally paid for the app and less than a week later the update hit so for now I just go to the site.

How are you able to use chat?

Two ways to do this...
1. With stock browser, everytime you open it you have to change the browser settings to desktop mode. This is handled in other forums and is really a pain in the butt because the settings don't stick.
2. Download for free one of the other browsers from the market, I use dolphin for pad. In the settings you can have it permanently set to desktop mode. This allows for the chat to show up on the website as if you were on a computer.
I personally use the website to check my stuff and use one of two free apps for chatting. Either go chat or the friendcaster chat.

So I used to run the desktop ua mod and I could see the chat in the stock browser. My problem, however, is that after typing I am unable to send the message. Pressing enter just clears out the text and nothing seems to get sent.
Same thing when I try dolphin or opera

Hi All,
First of all, I am not opening this thread because I did not do my homework. I did.
I have tried searching on Internet but seems there isn't really a solution yet. A lot of people recommend Download All Files, Blackmoon etc... but the real issue here is that from Gmail 2.3.5 onwards, there is NOT even a Preview button for the .zip attachment so non of those apps will work. It means, there no button at all for you to 'act' on the .zip attachment, you just see the filename with a paper clip, no Preview, no Info, no Download, no option from the menu etc.
I would appreciate if there is any other working methods besides a third party email client.
Thanks.
Bert
No "working method" that I'm aware of. I use K9 Mail with GMail. Problem solved.
Edit to add - You could always access GMail thru a browser rather than the ****ty app & view/save your attachments that way. I just tested this with Firefox 9 & it works fine. So there's two options for you.
I use it manually via firefox browser or opera mobile

after I updated to jb when I search for example for a youtube video or google play app and click the link it doesnt open the respective app instead it opens the links in the browser.
any idea?
You've set default values for some apps. Go into App Management, find Internet, click on it, and then click "Clear Defaults". You should then be prompted for which application you want to open certain types of link with the next time you click on one.

thanks for your answer but I already did that

I have the same problem. It's didn't work since JB upgrade.
Very annoying when you click youtube link in twitter and it's open in browser instead of native app.
BTW, it's obvious problem with only stock browser.
If you open link in Chrome or Dolphin you still have a choice to open in native app.
I will try to revert to ICS stock browser and see what happen.
Up ! I have this problem too... If someone can help us
Well, bad news.
ICS Samsung stock browser not working on JB ROM, FC all the times.
I think we should learn to live with it now, don't think they'll fixed it soon.
Hi everyone, I recently removed the stock music player due to the fact that I never use it, but it has created a conflict with me being able to change my ringtones. When I click the plus sign logo, it says "No applications can perform this action. Enable disabled built-in application?" I press OK, but nothing happens. I'm assuming because it needs the default music player to be reinstalled? So if anyone has the stock music player, please upload it or please assist me with how to fix this error. Thanks in advance.
use a ring tone maker app from the play store, or place songs in Ringtones folder so they can be chosen from settings.

Okay, thanks for that, but I still want my stock music app... I don't want my phone to give me an error message when I press the plus sign in ringtones, I think it's because I removed it...

not sure what model l9 you have but this should work. FYI you can get any app or etc from the kdz (look at my signature for the guide).
here's the LG G2 music player, I like its interface better, and it has the same functions. just push it to system and change permissions to r-w-r-r:

It says 'No Application can perform this action. Enable disabled built-in application?' But there is no app to re-inable and I cannot find a copy of the stock app. Any able to help? The above apk. does not install on my F3 and the other link is no longer active.

Same problem, same phone. I don't know the cause - the stock music app has been disabled forever, but I always could still add new ringtones. This is all of a sudden, in the past couple days. If I click 're-enable' OK, nothing happens - I can click it again and again. If I go to the system Music app (under Settings ---> Apps), it shows as Enabled, but shows 0.00 KB as its size, and 0.00 cache, 0.00 data, - no nothing. I have lots in my Ringtones folder, but can't get to them, and no other Ringtone app seems to help. Re-installing the Android stock Music app didn't do any good, either.
Thanks

Wow, where did you find the stock music app to reinstall, I have been looking all over for it.
The only thing I found that works for using custom ringtones and notification sounds now is an app called 'Ringtone Setter' it is available from the Play Store, hope that helps you some, it is a roundabout way of doing it, basically it moves/copies the ringtones you want to it's own folder and assigns it from there, seems to work well once you figure it out.

Excellent, cheers for your help, Ringtone Setter worked a treat!
I found stock apps in a few places - I'm not sure at all if any of them are the right ones for our phone, but I just googled "LG Optimus music app". One I found was right here on XDA. I kinda don't trust the background of any of the other ones enough to post in an open forum, but I'll PM you two others that I installed on my phone and tried (to no avail) - they might work for you.
Hello everyone,
I'm coming from a Galaxy S2 running ICS. When I would click to play a video from the default internet browser, I would get prompted for the video player. I'm assuming that it has something to do with flash compatibility? In any case, I really liked this behavior since I could choose MX player (stream) or Internet (download). This was very handy and I would love to be able to have that functionality on my new device.
I'm now using a Galaxy S4 running KitKat 4.4.2 and it seems that all videos play inline and I can't choose any other apps. Is there a way to get that functionality back?
Thanks for any insight you may have!
Nope. Android killed all flash plug-ins and apps are now made to play videos inline. Not to mention the option to download was breaking alot of rules.

Say it aint so!! Should this have been working in ICS? I'm wondering because if it's been disabled since before ICS, maybe I can still find a way around this...?

You might be able to get around this by using outdated apks from before they started using the inbuilt browsers but be warned that if you download the videos google has the right to term you account. Other then that there is nothing you can do. Flash has been dead for a long time now.
