I understand to do so, you need to go to the current default, and "Clear defaults". Right now I have my "Missed Calls" default application going to my default Phone app, but I used to get a popup that asked me. I didn't think I ever chose a default, but I installed Angel Dailer... I remember it prompted me.. then I installed Notigo to help clear the missed calls, but now, when I click "missed calls', I no longer get the popup on which application to chose. The "Clear Defaults" is greyed out for my Phone, and every dailer app I have. I can't find it at all. Hell, I went through practically every application, and I only found maybe one or two that I could even "clear defaults on", because I rarely check a default.
Any ideas? I read that if you uninstall the current default, then its next to impossible to clear, without re-installing that application. So maybe I somehow chose one and chose it as default... in my sleep.. or something...
Any ideas on how to deal with this? Or perhaps a way to determine the current default application... perhaps getting down into some file somewhere that has it all recorded?

Nope, no "clear defaults" on there either..
Install another app that does the same thing, and you'll get the choice again. Then uninstall the new one.

Yes...I had a similar issue. Here are a few suggestions.
1. If you can't clear it by going to the app in settings, try uninstalling/reinstalling. Before reinstalling..choose your default.
2. Try Default App Manager from the market. This app tells you all of your default apps and apps that does the same thing. It helps you clear and chose defaults in the app settings as well.
3. Download GO Dialer from the market (I used this method because I use GO Dialer). Whenever GO Dialer is updated or reinstalled, it'll automatically clear defaults, so this works well. When it asks if you want to use it as the default, choose the one you want then just uninstall GO Dialer.
4. Try freezing the unwanted app until you get your defaults like you want them. (I use Titanium for this.)
First off, I apologize if this has been stated or known by most of the communinty.
Anyway, here is a way to remove the voicemail notification from the Status Bar & the pull down menu......
(Unfortunately, this is NOT a permanent fix - the notification comes back after rebooting)
I did this through using "MyBackup Pro" app...
Tap on "MyToolbox"
Expand "System Apps"
Find & Check Mark: Phone/Messaging Storage (I did this with Phone as well for good messure - might not be necessary though)
Click: Wipe Cache & Wipe Data
Notification should now be gone!
Note:
stilesja fix method is better (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480833), but this will do the trick as well until a permanent fix is available.
I hope this may be a help to some of you!
You could just go to the "Phone" app in Settings > Apps and just clear data or even force stop it if the option is there. And yes, this is pretty well known.
Good effort though
I'll be updating my transparent indicator for beta 0 this weekend. But a note on this force stopping or clearing phone data. When I was doing that I noticed calls would randomly not show callerid which was more annoying to me than a vm notification. Ymmv however.

I just recently re-flashed Android 4.3 onto my Nexus 10, rooted it, then used TitaniumBackup to restore all my app data. Now I've rebooted and parts of the interface won't load / won't work.
The Home button doesn't work anymore, only the back and task-switcher buttons are working.
In the top toolbar, I can slide down the notifications, but none are displayed. The Alarm, Wifi, Battery, and Time is displayed in the top-right like normal, But I can't slide down the quick-settings.
Also, When I long-press the power button, I'm only given the option to Power off, nothing else.
One more thing: The lock-screen isn't ever shown!
Is there an easy way I can fix this? I'm guessing it has something to do with wiping the data & cache of some app, but I don't know which one.

Did you also restore all of your system app data? In general, that would be a big nono (and you could use Titanium's filters to clear data only from system apps). Not a great situation though either way.

OK. I thought I did filter out the system apps. I might have missed something. I'll try and clear the data from the system apps and see if that helps any. I'll just write this as I go...
I've opened TitaniumBackup, and it said that my Android ID had changed?
I told it to use the old ID... And now it's rebooting...
Now I've wiped the system-app data and am rebooting...
Didn't help any. Same problem still.

Update:
I've given up and just did a factory reset last night. Now I'm restoring my adb backup. ('Cause for some reason my TitaniumBackup in Google Drive got erased!?) Oh well. Anyways, things seem to be working properly now.
Hi,
I would like to change the default dialer program on my Samsung Note 3 which is rooted and installed with Xpose. I am sorry but I am new to Android and not sure how to get this done. I haven't installed any custom ROM's at the moment but thought there would have been a way to make the default dialer program. Although I tried installing many programs like "Contacts+", "RocketDialer" and others, none of them show up in the "Complete Action Using" Menu. Only the Samsung default dialer is presented.
Yes I have reset cache for all the Apps and tried the same too.
Any help would be appreciated.

Settings -> Application Manager -> Menu button -> Reset app defaults
OR
Open up the Task Manager by holding the home button, then clicking the first ourt of three icons. Click on Clear Defaults icon, select to clear an application.

Hi,
Thanks for your revert but only options I am getting are 3 apps, Kaspersky Av, Skype and touchwiz phone. I have already tried clearing the app for Phone as well as reset all apps.
Also downloaded "default app " from play store but no go. Any other suggestions are welcome.

I think there's either something wrong with your Xposed configurations, or you might have to try a full wipe.

Hi Nicholaschum,
Could you kindly tell me where exactly in Xposed settings do I change the dialer default app.

Have you tried disabling all Xposed modules and eliminating all possible problems?
Well the short answer based on your setup is that touchwiz will not let you change dialers. You can download them from play store but it will only be for you to call out with. If you get in coming phone calls it must be handled by touchwiz dialer.
I've been trying to get an AOSP dialer to run but no joy. I've deleted all phone apk files I've deleted all contact apk files all that happens is I loose connectivity with cell providers.
Enough googling and it seems touchwiz must have its own dialer for incoming connections.
I'll keep trying tho, never know.
Not much help I know but at least it's an answer of a sort.

For sure you can set the default SMS apps though, I have set them many times, but I use 8sms right now as it is to me the best alternative to BiteSMS on the iPhone 4 (during the old days haha!)

In regards to incoming calls, I used rocket dialer and was able to see their screen. Touchwiz wasn't invoked. But when trying to make outgoing calls, although rocket dialer is invoked for call logs and contacts, as soon as I hit the call button, touchwiz is invoked.
I guess the option then is to use custom roms which I dint want to install.
Hello everyone!
First, I'm sorry for my English. I'll try to do my best to be clear and not too painful to read.
I post here tonight because my Moto X XT1562 is very messy. It's totally buggy actually.
The WHAT:
Some functionalities just disappeared. Here is some:
- Notifications aren't displayed at all. The notification bar stay empty, even when I swipe it down. Notification sounds are OK however.
- The quick settings panel isn't displayed... When I swipe down the right side of the top bar, there is only the notification bar who appear (empty...) like if I swiped down the left side. Nothing happens neither with a Nova widget for example to launch the activity corresponding to the quick settings panel.
- The Home button and the Menu app button do not works. When I touch them, they respond (they are circled by a halo and the phone vibrate) but don't produce anything.
- Some entries are missing in Settings like the entry to configure the quick setting panel. Also, some entries are displayed but when I touch them nothing happens, like the "Users" entry. Moreover, in "Backup & Reset > Factory data Reset" the "Reset Phone" button stay grey (unavailable).
- The "Developers options" menu isn't available neither. In this case, I had a toast with something like: "Developers options are not available for this user". In my actual configuration (spoiler: aka after flashing a new ROM), I can't activate the developers options at all.
- Probably other things but I'm not sure it matter. Apps work great however, even if there are now some force close. And just to be clear: it's not a touch screen issue.
So my phone is still usable, but it's not handy at all. Specially the fact that I can't go on the Home screen with the home button or switch between opened apps with the app button.
The WHEN:
These is happens after I try to move data that were on the sdcard in the internal storage through the built in tool in the storage settings. In fact, my sdcard (used like "internal storage") was almost full and my true internal storage with some space. I knew all my sdcard data could not go on my internal storage, but I thought Android could deal with that and will only transfer a part of these data. BUMMER. Anyway, during the process the phone had reboot and then the mess happens: internal storage was overfull, sdcard still full too, duplicate data were on both, etc. And of course, the previous bugs came. I deleted data manually (primarily pictures) and used the phone a couple of days like this.
Just so you know and because I suspect an perm issue, I have to add that a couple days before this episode, I also tried to create a second android user through the Users setting. But nothing happens after the asked reboot. I didn't insist.
The WHAT-THE-****:
- First, I was suspecting that the last boot didn't work properly because the internal storage was full. So after I made some space on the device I rebooted: nothing.
- After I delete all my pictures on the sdcard, I launch the data migration process to give it a new chance to finish properly. It did, but... nothing.
- I tried to wipe dalvik cache and the regular cache through TWRP: nothing.
- Like I suspected a permission issue, I tried to "Fix Contexts" with TWRP. Nooooothing.
- Very confident, I tried a factory reset through the Android settings but it was unavailable. So I did it in the bootloader. But... NOTHING!
- Well, I decided to flash again my ROM (XDRom) but I chose the last build to upgrade it. Flashing a new ROM replace most of the files so that MUST work. Guess what? Nothing!!
- Desperate, I tried to flash/upgrade the squid kernel. But No-****ing-thing... :crying:
I have no idea how it's possible. So if someone has encountered something similar or knows how that can happen, please, tell me.
I'm using TWRP, Squid Kernel r19 and the ROM XDR 24.107-52-5 (Android 6.0.1). Right now, my phone isn't rooted but it was when it happened. I was also using Xposed with Gravitybox and XBlastTools.
Thanks to everybody!

If you're using XDrom you need to root it and use XDRsetup app that comes with it (you can also download it separately, link is in XDR'S thread). This will fix all your issues
Your phone is not provisioned. You can fix this by re-running the setup wizard activity using Activity Launcher.
I've been seeing this issue pop up on several Moto devices since last few months, even on my own device.
EDIT: XDROM thread mentions this on the thread clearly
Use XDR Setup app after first boot to provision the device (unlock UI, Developer's options, screen lock, etc.)

Well, thanks so much everybody. Sorry for my late answer. You're right, my phone wasn't "provisioned". I wasn't aware at all about this not-a-bug-but-a-feature. It sounds still strange for me and it's surprising that this "issue" appears by itself but whatever, it's fix. Thanks again!
