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.
so the mod will allow third party apps to update with facebook and twter?
like Handcent app is not longer updating contacts picture from those contact linked to fb and twter.
is that correct?

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.
Thanks. This was bugging the hell out of me.

I tried downloading several it just says "Application not installed." I seen a flashable .zip file for the SGS III that has the Noteboox app.. but im afraid to use it, because the update script, binary is for the SGS (not sure if that makes a difference). I've learned not to flash things from other phones. Is it safe for me to flash it?

The apps would need to be modified. The apps call for resources in the stock framework n systemui. You'll have to transfer those resources to the apps them self n change any internal link to the new location of the resources. It's been done but it's allot of work.

Thank you for explaining this. I used the method I described to pull DSP Manager from one ROM and put it in another one. But this is obviously more complicated.
Edit... Mystery gave me an idea and it seems to have worked, pulled apk from gnex zip and installed it.
After tinkering for awhile using a terminal emulator, somehow I have the LG Notebook app. I've noticed a few bugs but all are really really minor. I'm trying to figure out how I did this but it worked somehow.

The differences are the AndroidManifest.XML files and the working apk has a file called libpolatispdfexplorer.so (Notebook.apk/lib/armeabi/libpolarispdfexplorer.so) I think that might be something necessary for it to work.

I've seen some hacks for a few of the other samsung phones that let you add other apps to the multi window view instead of just the built in apps. Just wondering if any one has found a way to do that on our mega 6.3 yet?
you need to be on deodexed rom, it will be easy to mod.
Ok, thank you. I'll wait for a deodexed stock rom to show up.
Still waiting for the ClockWorkMod recovery to work, then we'll be in business..
I kind of knew this coming into this phone as the dev community probably wouldn't be as large as the flag ship phones, but the phone has been really good so far with the exception of the headphone volume being very low.

The multi window feature that comes with the phone is limited to some apps. This will allow you to add to the multi windows any app in your phone.
also you can go this way.

hope this helps, I am using the xposed installer and works great for me. (Samsung Note 2)
Strange, that play store app tells me I need root access and won't run. I am rooted already. I guess I'll take a look at the other option

I interpreted the post wrong. I thought I could choose either method separately but I believe the post is saying that you have to install both the xposed installer and the multi window manager. Neither one of them by itself worked for me but when I installed both apps it worked. I hope this helps those hsving problems.

Correct xposed allows you to install other things besides multi window mod. Also samsung has app called samsung multi pro or something similar to that. It will allow you to do the same but you have to pay for the app. I personally have no experience with it.

I got mine that working fine , you need only root your phone, install multi window manager from play store, it can let you add any apps you like
Yup, you are right. I tried that app when I first got the phone (after installing the root kernel) and it would keep giving me errors saying i wasn't rooted. I just tried the app again and it works perfectly. Thank you!
I have a rooted Galaxy Mega I recently bough, running stock ROM 4.22. I am upgrading from an original Galaxy Tab 7 (rooted and still running Gingerbread.. working like new).
Like on my Galaxy Tab 7 I installed Adaway on the Mega, but, seems I cant get of any ads at all. All apps display ads even the Mega is rooted and Adaway properly configured. Am I do anything wrong or need special configuration or is there a knows inssue about removing ads with this phone? Any other app that works or workaround for the problem?
Aside from this problem, the Mega is a great phone! Extremely happy
Thanks in advance for sharing any advice and input of this
im having the same problem
its probably the 'webserver' doesnt stay on, the moment you exit adaway its turns off by itself
Add away is working perfectly here. Maybe reinstall and try from the start

Positively does not work. Installedl and uninstalled several times the app (and several versions) and never works.

My Rom is based on stock and has root and busybox and is adfree, Can you just edit the hosts file?
View attachment hosts.zip This is the actual text file, just rename without .zip and copy to /system/etc, making a backup first.
This is a few days old but one I restored and then updated, I am hoping you can do the same.

In a way yes, but not completely. You are blocking sites and using a proxy bypasses the site address as everything is server from the proxy IP address.
Adaway webserver would remove the ads and then show the page complete, a bit like Opera Mini.

Like it's there in the app section in settings, but won't show up in searching the phone?!? I hate that files by Google, it isn't finding every file ony SD and how am I supposed to use it if it's not found?!? So confusing. Lol

Thank you for the help. I see where that is, but in restoring data, it doesn't find my backups. I long long ago bought ES File explorer when I was rooting my devices, I may have to go back to it or an alternative. This is very upsetting as I've stayed with LG for so long (since the G4, but I got a dud V30 so had to go samdung for a couple months til the G8 came). I've never had to use a different file explorer since stopping rooting. ?

On r/LGV60 there was a post about adding this back in yourself. Sends you to apkmirror. I installed it. The floating bar from apkmirror installed and works fine. However it's missing the app shortcut you are showing from you G8.
I'm wondering if the version on the G8 would work on the V60....

Anyone found this yet? Just read a review that it is available, but doing a search in settings comes back with nothing. Is it there and named something else? I use this feature daily on my G8, so would be really sad if I have to use the work-around (screenshot, edit).

Reading the thread, what carrier are you on?
It's possible your carrier stripped out the floating bar and LG file manager.
You can get back the LG file manager from APK mirror.
Not sure if the floating bar APK would work since there is a bit more to it then just installing it.

I tried this floating bar, modeled after the V30 version.

Seemed to work ok. I didn't keep it because it didn't add much functionality due to my current setup.

Is there a way to pull the program (or whatever it is) from the G8?
