Is there a way of changing app defaults? Reason I ask is I include LauncherPro and change a couple of options once I start it up and it would save time having them setup already...I take it I'd have to edit the APK but don't know where to start...

Quick question,
After a protracted bout of searching here, I am still looking for an app that would allow me to easily switch my default browser from one to another. I have seen the tutorial on setting Opera Mini as default, and know that some browsers allow you to have an entry in preferences that you can check to set as default.
But is there an app that will allow me to quickly switch between Skyfire, Netfront, PIE, Opera et al?
Have any of the gurus written this yet?
Don't think it has been done yet. I'm not a programmer so I'm not sure how difficult this would be. It would seem to have something to do with the registry. Maybe the app could make those registry changes...then again, I'm not sure
just change reg entry or use mort script.
hi,
If your just trying to changing your default browser, I would suggest just changing the registry key (in the HKCR) for htmlfile to launch the desired browser. Total Commander offers a registry editor.
If you want to change the default browser on a regular basis then you could write a fairly easy mortscrip code to offer the list of desired browsers and then change the registy keys to launch the new default browser. There is a mortscript code examples which shows most of the steps to do this.
Cheers,
i have searched for a way to read and change reg keys using C#..maybe i will try to develop something
I've tried changing the amount of tabs I can open simultaneously in opera:config but after a soft reset it reverts back to only 2 (which isn't nearly enough). Does anyone know how that is happening?
The same goes for a change to the keyboard settings. Ive tried editing eT9.Rhodium.kmap.txt so the mail button is set to Tab, but a fsoft reset reverts that change as well.
Anyone an idea?
I had the same issue with mine. I kept changing the setting and eventually it stayed at 5 tabs. Not sure what I did differently other than I was persistent.
If you want it to work you need to kill the opera process completely because on the TP2 it is always running due to the push internet. Several ways to do so. I used this method.

Install the cab. Reset your device. Open Opera and change the settings you want. Exit Opera. Open again to check if settings are saved. If not, change settings, exit opera, restart device. Now the settings should be saved. You can now uninstall the cab or keep it if you like it.
Let me know if it works for you.
I had that issue a while back. I've since given up on going into opera:config.
I find it much easier to just copy the opera.ini file over to my desktop, edit it accordingly, and then copy it back. Try it out. It's not as daunting as it sounds.
I'm a little confused, I don't see anywhere in Opera where you can change the number of tabs. Do I have to go into a separate app to change the Opera settings? I'm stuck at 2 tabs which is worthless.
hey all...didn't know if this was even possible...maybe with a hex editor or sth, but i don't know how to do it.
i want to mod an app to run the default launcher every time the "menu" soft key is hit. is this possible with the app's apk?
hi people, i would like to know what cab do i need to make this menus much smaller? i've found it before.... but i never downloaded it, thanks
You can use Advanced Config to reduce the font size in the menus.
thank you very much
But... I tried it and everytime i change the values, it auto resets when i restart... I'm using spb mobileshell by the way !
Really...strange. I've used spb and it has never fudged with those reg values.
When I changed the values in Advanced Config, I needed to soft reset before the changes would be applied anyway.
You can create a shortcut that applies the reg settings and put it in the Windows\Startup folder. Still that kind of hack should not be necessary. Perhaps you have some other program in Startup that is causing the problem.
you gave me the idea and i just tried... putting the folder on C:
and then i changed the values with the keyboard, it reseted... and stayed that way for a lonnggg time until i took out the battery and turn it on again
then I changed the value by holding the down button and then selected other stuffs and restarted and now it's ok
Thank you very much !!
Uhm...glad I could help, I think,
they should be a setting in the setup to do that.
Go to google, type in "htc small menu", click on the VERY first link you see. Brings you to a thread here at xda.
That's what you were talking about right?
If so then you're welcome .
Also: If you want to easily and fully customize the font for everything on the phone (size and font type), look into downloading something called ING Change Font.
Recently got a galaxy S7 edge. I've installed all available updates. For some reason I am constantly asked what program to use when I want to open any type of document such as a pdf. I am given a choice of 3 of the stock applications and Adobe PDF which I installed.
When I am presented with the app options there is no "once" or "always" option. Instead when I select one app I get the message that app is now the default app and to change it go to Setting--->applications......blah blah to clear the default app. I have been to the default app under setting and see that PDF are set by default to be open by Adobe PDF. So why must I still select what app to use when I want to open a pdf file (even the same file)? Is my phone corrupted since I am not getting the "just once" or "always"? I want to open pdf full with a single program every time instead of it always asking me.

This was recently changed, As once you selected your app, there was no way to select another application without clearing the defaults (Rather messy and time consuming)
To change the default setting head to:
Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> DEFAULT APP SELECTION:
Set Default Apps Automatically (Will auto set the first app you select to default)
Ask Before setting Default App (Brings back the traditional Just Once / Always (Option))
Failing these settings, Maybe one of the application for the PDF wants to be set as default, Try uninstalling them?
Does it happen with any other application?
Download a video and install VLC. select a video app and see if the derault sticks.
Keep in mind, sometimes if you have a default PDF app selected, The app is updated, you will be asked to select again (Some times)
Additionally if you install another PDF application, then the App selection may re-appear (If a default is selected already)
(Sorry if this is abit messy, lack of coffee this morning)
Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> DEFAULT APP SELECTION:
Set Default Apps Automatically (Will auto set the first app you select to default)
Ask Before setting Default App (Brings back the traditional Just Once / Always (Option))"
Unfortunately I don't see the "Set Default Apps Automatically" or "Ask Before setting Default App" option in Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> DEFAULT APP SELECTION
Seems like that would work great, but they're not there.
I did try to Reset App Preferences however any PDF file I get asked how I want to open it every time. Even under App setting it shows Adobe as the default. I tried reinstalling Adobe but still didn't help. I have a couple documents that I routinely access and it gets to be a pain.
Thanks for the assistance, of you have any other ideas I'm all ears. I'm almost wondering that if I don't have those options you state above than maybe I need a system reset???
