Hello guys,
I recently got a note 4 from my brother. I switch from a apple 4s to note 4. I really like the different customization that android allows. I download the themer app. I really like how themer allow me to set different themes. One thing I don't understand is when I first set it to another theme, whenever I click on the message icon it gives me the option to choose between the different messaging apps. however, after I click on one of them it set as default messaging app. Now whenever I click on the messaging icon it just pop up that default messaing app, it no longer gav eme the option to choose between different messenger. I have to manually go look at the other messaging app.
The choice is disappearing because you're setting a default for it to choose every time you press the button.
Settings > Apps > Messaging app you chose as default > Clear Defaults
Then when choosing each app from the messaging button only press 'Just Once' this way it should ask you which app every time!
Hope it helps.

Hey Araytha, I didn't choose it as my default. It just pop up the different options the first time and I just click on one. From then on it just set that one as default. It doesn't give me the option for "Just once." Where do I go to do that.

Hi
Just go into Settings -> Apps and find the app which is currently the default. Click on it, and in that screen you will see a button for "Clear Defaults". Nowm, the next time you use an app in that class, you will get the pop-up again asking you which you want to use.
Hope this helps.

It is extremely anoying!! atleast 3 or 4 times a day when i hit the phone icon, a window pops up asking me what phone app to set as a default??? is there a way to fix this? or is there an app that locks the defaults??
you should be able to check the default app tick box when the pop up appears, no?
I suggest you go to Menu -> Settings -> Apps. Then find the app you want to use for Default. Tap on it and then clear its cache. Do the same for the other app Androind suggests. Then tap on Phone icon and it should ask you again. Then be sure to mark the tick next to Use for default for this action. This should do it for you.

Every home manager I have used, changes the launcher, but every time I press the hardware button it always gets me to the default launcher. Is there any way every time I change launcher it goes default automaticly? Thanks ,
I'm running CM9 & I use GoEx, so I have Trebuchet (default launcher) frozen with Ti. That works for me.
I want to change betwin two full working launchers.. (including the hardware button every time..)
I already can do it but have to: 1. Run home manager, 2. Select the launcher, 3. Make it default.
Cant I do all this just by pressing a shorcut?...

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to press the home button and get to choose from your launchers? Then go to Settings > Applications, select the currently default launcher and press 'clear defaults'.

No perhaps , because my English are not that good.. What you write is what I don't want and already happening..
Let's say I have now Apex. Default launcher is Apex. Ok?
I select Nova. But when I press the hardware button it goes back in Apex... I want when I press the hardware button to stay in Nova and goes to first page of Nova.
So every time I choose a launcher I want to automaticly set it default.. Isn't this possible? With just one click of a shortcut.

Let me frame this for you in a simpler way
For Example you have APEX launcher as ur default. Go to Settings and then go to Apps/Applications.In that list select APEX Launcher.Scroll down and there you will see an option as "Clear Defaults".Click that.After doing so whenever you will press the home screen button it will ask for the launcher you want to use.
Hope that helps
On ICS, the People app - I was looking at a contact and wanted to change the picture. By mistake I set the wrong app to open when i change the picture. How do I undo that?
I tried finding the people app int he apps list and clear settings, but it still uses the wrong app?
Go into Settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications, and find whatever app you set to use as default (the one you chose by accident). Tap it, and then on the screen that appears find the button "Clear defaults". Tap it. Then this app should no longer be the default for that task.

Wow that's insane. So instead of removing the setting for the app that USES it, you remove the assassination for ALL apps that use it? Good design there Google.
But thanks for your help!

Long press anywhere on homescreen, then select unlock widgets.
Now long press on the widget you want to edit, a menu will pop up select configure, then select the text you want to reassign thenin the small row of options below select text>hotspot> then replace the default app by clicking it and selecting desired app in activities menu.
Sounds complicated but pretty easy
