Is it possible to add an app to ''complete action using''? - Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I was wondering if it is possible to add an app which is not listed after choosing a file i wanna open. I want to open a video with videoshop to edit it, because the in-app gallery is awful. It just shows all videos not sorted by name or date or folder so i would like to add videoshop to optional apps for opening videos from my normal gallery.
On a windows pc it's easy by rightclick and ''open file aa'' and then you have suggested apps and then the option to browse the pc for other apps. There must be a way to do that on miui too

Try installing this app.
It worked for me on a smarthone with kitkat, not sure if it's working with lollipop.

Thanks but this app doesn't solve my problem. I tried it and it only resets the default app after having chosen a default app before.
But I want to add an app to the offered apps to open it. I don't have chosen a default app to open videos. And when i click on a video and get asked, with which app i would like to open it then the app i want to use is not listed. I simply want to be a able to choose another app.
Isn't there any option, app or xposed module to do it?

Try "Amaze File Manager" from the Play Store.

[Q] NookColor installing apps

I have a NookColor with Zeam Launcher, Go Launcher EX and ADW Launcher installed. There are quite a few apps that I have tried to install, but always get the "app not installed error message" Not sure what I need to do to get around this. Please help.
Thanks
if you are installing them from the market, you may want to try this:
go to setting / applications / manage applications / market / and then clear the cache and data.
if you are trying to side load an apk make sure you have "allow mock locations" checked.
not sure where to find allow mock locations setting.

I believe he means the "allow unknown/outside install" tab in the settings menu, under "applications". Tick that so it allows any apk to be installed on the Nook.
Yes, you can install the amazon app store - go through the sign up procedure on the amazon website to receive an email with the download link included. Once you have that, open the email up through the browser on your Nook, click on the link, and you're on your way.
If none of the above work, install ROM Manager and then use its Fix Permissions option.

Google Magazines Canada?

Hi Everyone!
Just a quick question for those of you on Jelly Bean and living in Canada or anywhere where Google Magazines is not supported. Did you figure out a way to get the Magazine APK that works into your device and get it up and running? Were you able to download magazines afterwards?
Thanks!

I just got my Nexus 7 Monday, and I've been trying to do exactly that. Couple things i've tried is using OpenVPN client and route all traffic through my US based server, then re-open the Google Play app and all the content shows up. When I browse to the Play Magazines app, it says "INSTALLED", additionally there is no open or update buttons. And when I initiated the install from my PC browser it says it is already installed. I also found an apk and tried installing that, it installed fine (it also gave a prompt saying "system app"...already installed...do you want to replace it notification) but doesn't show up anywhere in the system (app drawer etc.); and when I browsed to Play Magazines app in the Play store it changed from "INSTALLED" to "UPDATE". So it's there somewhere...I just can't see or open it!!
Also just for kicks i tried purchasing a magazine (while the vpn tunnel was still connected) without the app, but it gave an error saying not available for purchase in your country.
I've attached the apk i found, in case you want to give it a try.

Thanks for the quick reply.
It looks like Google really doesn't want us Canadians getting our hands on magazines.
Thanks anyways!

Found a solution!!
(Skip to step 2 and try that first, if that doesn't work then go back to step 1)
STEP 1: install a file explorer (i use ES File Explorer) and browse to system/apps/Magazine.apk. Click to install it.
STEP 2: browse through your app drawer and find "Play Magazines". If it's not there add the "Play - My Library" widget, it should prompt you with a few options of what to add...My Library, Movies & TV, Books and now hopefully Magazines. Once added it may ask to "touch to re-enable" the magazines.
Poof, thats it! Now Magazines should be visible/enabled. Enjoy!
This worked on my Nexus 7, I had to purchase magazines on my PC's browser. on the tablet with VPN enabled it synced the magazine and I can sucessfully download and read it. On my Galaxy Nexus (flashed to YAKJU), even with VPN it will not sync magazines or be able to browse Magazines in the Play store. I'm thinking this is because it detects "region" via the SIM...
Let me know if that works for you.

Which part didn't work? Were you able to open the app (either directly or via the widget)? You shouldn't need VPN until you want to use the app. It should install without it.
I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmJsaW5rdC5vcGVudnBuIl0. With a VPN tunnel to my company's US server.

Out of curiosity, I know you would need VPN to download the magazines, but once you downoaded and synced the magazine, could you disable VPN and still read it? (i.e. use VPN to download magazines and then disable VPN, reboot the device to it knows you're in Canada and keep reading the magazines you already downloaded?) Or can you only read magazines with VPN active?
Also, did you get access to any of the free magazines that come with the nexus 7 in the US? e.g. Popular Science (July 2012), etc.
Thanks!
@greenglue
Interesting, same as my Nexus 7 except the 16GB. Did you try with VPN?
@mck86
Yes, as far as I have tested you can continue to read once the VPN is disabled. (Although it may periodically disappear again, and you may have to click "re-enable" on the widget).
I wasn't aware of free magazines that came with it, I'll have to double check.
Hi!
Got it to work on my trip to Burlington VT. No VPN needed. It worked by itself. Just had to reinstall magazines app. I will test it again when I get back home tomorrow.

I tried to install the apk but no icon shortcuts show up, I checked the Activities list and it's there??
Got it working. Here were my steps.
1. Download and install the play magazines apk.
2. Download ES file manager.
3. In ES file manager click the apps manager icon and then click play magazines icon. Magazine app should now sign in and work. Icon will now appear tablet wide.
Hope this helps.

Worked brilliantly for me in the UK. Thanks very much!
ES File Manager doesn't show me Play Magazines.
I am in Germany right now, but I guess it doesn't make a difference where you are in Europe, right?

How did you purchase the magazines through your browser? I feel like I'm going to feel really silly once I get the answer but I can't figure it out.

Hi, I'm not sure where to go next. I installed the Magazine APK. In ES I now have the Play Magazine icon showing up when I first open then app (along with all the other folders, Android, Downloads, Movies, Music, etc.). When I select it it lets me install it, which is great, but then it's not showing up in the app drawer or in the App Manager option within ES.
Any ideas how to get it to open? I'm lost.
Thanks!
Worked. Thank you so much. No root required.

You can approach this several different ways. One, you can uninstall or disable the app you don't use. Two, you can use the Clear Defaults settings for both apps. Three, you can download one of those default app managers from the Play store (search "default apps"). Good luck.
it doesn't work... whatssap asks ever the video player...

Like mentioned above, some apps will reset the default apps if activated. For example, ES Explorer installs ES Player by default. If Whatapps has a hook to a file manager when attempting to play a video, it would trigger ES Player and resets your default player.
i think it's whatsapp which causes problem... so How can I do to whatsapp save the default video player ever????

Quik Apk

In my Play Store app, it says that the Quik app needs to be updated, but I could not find this app in the drawer, where is this app coming from?
I think it is the photo editor app.
I even do not know it is in my phone until I got the update notice since I cannot find it in the app drawer. How can I launch it? Is this the gallery app uses for editing?
This App can be found under the system processes where you can seel all the system Apps. It's safe to just deactivate or delete the App.
By all accounts it was a forceful update in error according to Huawei. They claimed the Quik app was pushed out in error and via their servers and was ment for a select number of devices. Honor 8 was not supposed to receive such update or file. The Quik app ment to show up within the photo gallery menu..
It's safe to Uninstall

I lunched it from play store to see what it is, then I deleted it. It's a Go pro app to edited video.
It is included in every version since B389, more or less.
Quik is kinda video editing tool and come by default on L04 US variant of Honor 8

Original Huawei E-Mail APK

Unfortunately I have uninstalled the preinstalled Huawei E-Mail app from my Huawei MediaTab M5. I could make a factory reset to get the app but I don't want to do that because I have spent lots of hours to setup the tablet.
Can anyone post the apk-file for me? That would be great!
Is there a way to get it without root mate because I haven't rooted yet
Sent from my ASUS_Z012DA using Tapatalk
I have no root, too. It's no problem to save any apk-file. You can install Super Manager from Play Store to do that. In Super Manager you must switch to page 2 "APK Manager", there you tap on "APK Manager". Now you can scroll down and look for the E-Mail app or you tap on the three dots on the top right and the on app search. With the search string mail you will find the app. Now tap on the app and tap on bAPK, then on original name and the file is now in the folder Super Manager -> MyAPKs
This is probably what you're looking for.
Thank you very much!
