Hey guys,
Whenever I restart my phone (or turn it on), a dialog pops up asking me to select my default launcher. I select it and press always.
The next time I turn on my phone, the same popup appears even though I selected always.
How come the defaults aren't sticking?
Thanks in advance.

More information may be needed...
Are you rooted or not? If rooted, what ROM are you running?
Also helpful; Does this happen for all app defaults or just the launcher and if just the launcher, which one are you trying to make default?

I am not rooted.
It only appears to be the launcher. I am setting it to be the Standard Launcher (as opposed to the Easy Mode).

Nope, didn't work.
When I power on the device, I get the following popup "Complete action using" and I have Easy Launcher and TouchWiz home. I select the latter and tap always. This doesn't hold though the next time I power on my device.

You could remove TouchWiz Home with TiBu, then it has no choice but to use Easy Launcher.

Easy launcher is on the GS4 by default (correct me if I'm wrong).

Yes Easylauncher is preinstalled by default.

Do a test... Get nova or apex... See if they stick... Then you'll know if its a launcher issue... Whether or not they get saved to the launcher or the ROM...
The issue still persists. I know that other people have had this problem.
the Swipe to right during lockscreen, or the long press down key during lock screen
can it access other camera app instead of stock LG camera app?
I find the G2 camera app very slow, bad file naming (use number format instead of date) and lack of filters.
What if I uninstall the stock camera apk (rooted), will the OS ask me to choose another camera app instead? or simply crash the system

If you install another camera app, the next time you access the lockscreen or messaging cam you will be prompted to choose a default. No need to uninstall the stock camera.

I agree. But you can use which default camera should be selected all the time through the phones settings.

If you select "Always" when prompted then it will be the one always used.
If you want to change you go to the app list, open the properties of the currently defaulted camera app and "Clear defaults", that way the next time you swipe from the lockscreen you'll be asked to choose again.
Not very handy I agree but managing all defaults from the settings would be cumbersome anyway. Plus a lot of people don't really care about that so if you're down to that level of tweaking you probably can live with the available method.

That's true. Maybe we can look at some other ways to do this on rooted device. But for out of the box smartphones, this is only the option.
after multiple approach, seems like i only can use my desire camera app at lock screen IF the lockscreen is not code protected
After set up my pattern code, the lockscreen camera will always be the stock camera despite cleared default in app.
I guess it's a security reason, or the lock screen camera is actually a widget instead of a proper app, hence cannot be changed.

I don't know about anyone else, but this is my first MIUI phone.
I thought it would be useful to start a thread regarding MIUI notes/tips/etc that are specific to MIUI.
The first big one of course - how to fix push notifications:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/...ions-on-xiaomis-miui-8-for-real/#11f834174e1b
I was about to start this very thread
I found a cool feature
You can select several photos for deleting by simply gliding your fingers over the photos
Another cool feature
You can orient that device do that it's upside
The top bezel-less becomes downwards.
The phone is also programmed to rotate it to the standard orientation during a phone call because of Mic location.
One thing I quite like is how specific WIFI connects can be disabled without having to remove them.
Our work WIFI blocks certain things, so it's nice to be able to disable it but not have
to totally remove it (and then reenter all the passwords when I re-enter it).

For each WIFI connection, there is a little > to the right of it.
If you touch that you go into another menu, and one option is 'auto connect on/off'.
Turning off autoconnect helps in situations where there are multiple WIFI signals, but you only want it autoconnecting to a specific one.

2 finger swipe on notifications displays their details (or what is called Peek)

Thanks for clarifying.
What if I'm in the range of two networks that I've saved the passwords for.
Which does the mi mix connect to when I enter range?
Looks like the last one I've connected to.

That's actually a primitive way of doing it.
Samsung did it better by letting you 'peek' one-handedly with a simple swipe down of the notification.
With mi mix, I have to use two hands. I can do it with one hand but it's tough.

And just found out, we can't "swipe away" the notifications from the lockscreen directly. Need to pull down the shade and clear from there. Would this not be considered a stupid decision?!

Perhaps there's a solution if you root/install Xposed & a module is available for lockscreen options.
I'm rooted,but, haven't used Xposed in ages, considering trying it again......
On Samsung devices,(non-root) Ad Blocking apps have a persistent notification on the lockscreen that cannot be swiped away,.The only remedy for this was to turn off the ad blocking.

I followed all the steps.
I understood that there are several instances of settings and installed apps.
I went through all of them but still could not disable or uninstall pre-loaded apps like Mi Credit, Mi Cloud and all those Mi nonsense apps.

Those are uninstallable I guess (as Mi earns from these apps and not selling the phone), few rubbish were uninstalled using this method.
I should be able to disable them though
Apparently not
Some more MIUI notes:
menu + volume down = screenshot
hardware test: dial *#*#6484#*#*
More phone info: dial *#*#4636#*#*
There is a toggle to disable the navigation buttons (double tap them to re-enable)
handy if you keep accidentally hitting them.
in 'buttons' can auto disable for any particular app (games)
In accessibility there is a magnification mode - triple tap to allow/disable zooming of screen. (EDIT: it's bugged - it isn't supposed to trigger during keyboard typing,but it does, effectively making it useless)
wake with volume buttons is in lockscreen menu, not "button"
There are some apps that just won't stay uninstalled. Anyone got idea how to remove them? PPTV for example

Needs to be rooted to remove system app
Probably doing something dumb but can't find an obvious answer.
When I press the icon above the app in the Recents I only get the option to 'Open in pop-up view' no option to open in split screen.

Also the camera shutter sounds option is missing ?
Mine has the option for split screen. Have you tried other apps?
Tried all the usual suspects only get option to open in pop up window. Using force all apps setting in MultiStar makes no difference.
press the task manager and the icon of the app u can split there.. its the new way of One UI.... all samsung has split screen

Thanks, that is exactly what I have done. The option is missing.
Press the button towards the bottom and it will asked you what apps to open in multi window...you pick the app and drag to the portion of the screen you want
It's because you are using the task changer in good lock. For some reason they removed the option when you change from the default task switcher.

Lucky you cause mines appears very differently. Heard a rumour it's down to your carrier, I'm with EE.
I'd upload a screen shot but I keep getting ad request. Pretty new to the forum etc so not sure if it has to be a particular file format or size.

Mine has not got carrier bloat it's generic UK.
I don't have the option for shutter sound either.
If using Good Lock like me then go to task manager window. Hold the icon of the app you want to split screen and you should get the screen as attached. Hopefully that works for you.

Thanks, that only gives you a pop up not a split. I've reported the missing feature to Samsung so fingers crossed it will be fixed soon.

Apps that can be split screened will show an option at the bottom or top of screen. Try splitting an app like chrome with YouTube. Different apps give different options. Some can't be split screened.

Understand.
In this case every app does not give the option.
For example:
You can use bxActions to map split screen to your bixby button.
Don't do it with the app that sits on top of the list. Go to another app, so that the app you want to split is shown second.
Now tap and hold this second app (the icon on the top or the whole app thumbnail, as both work) and it will give you the option to split.
Strange.
My split screen is working and I also have the option for shutter sound.
How to set to get to the menu using gestures? Is there any apk that supports this without root

The idea is very good but no root is not useful. In addition, there is no desired menu. It's on your photo, but I've installed apps and it's not there!

You need to configure the buttons you want. It is all done from within the app. Please don't claim something does not work if you never even looked at the settings.
