[Q] Defaults not being saved - General Questions and Answers

I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be posting this, but I figured this was the best for now.
I have a Samsung Epic 4G. I'm running the CleanGB ROM v1.1.2 with the 2.6.35.7-CleanGB-g6d33744 kernel.
Recently, after I updated to those versions my default settings haven't been saving. Like when I try to open a link from a text message it asks which browser I would like to use to open the link. I click "Use by default for this action" check box, but if I reboot it will ask again.
Any idea what the problem could be or what I can do to fix it?
Thanks
Corey

[MOD] Hulu: Flash 11 modded to work UPDATED 11/26/2011

UPDATED 11/26/2011
Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?
works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.
i'm on 8.2.3.9-20110423
I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.

[Q] SuperSU Cannot change configuration

Hi, first post
I flashed my TMOBILE US [SGH-T999] SIII with root66 and all went well. verified with rootkeeper I'm indeed rooted. Problem is when I first configured superSU i checked hide from apps list (figured id still be able to get it in /system) So although it asks for permission and still fully functional I cannot open the app to change the configuration. There was some codes *#*#1234#*#* amongst others I thought would bring up the app, but because the sim is no longer registered to a network it just gives a network error.
This has been going on for a week and would really appreciate a solution. Going to google play doesn't show any options. just a picture. If i disable in manage apps i can then deactivate on google play, but it didn't help. Also re flashed rom and nothing changed.
Should be able to open the app somewhere on the phone right? use file explorer to delete some config file that will reset to default?

Hi, to open supersu through the dialpad, please enter the following:
*#*#1234#*#*
or
*#*#7873778#*#* which spells(*#*#SUPERSU#*#*)
If that didn't work, check if supersu is still installed by going to manage applications.

Yeah mentioned the codes in my post. my girlfriend has a deathgrip on the phone right now but i'm pretty sure the exact error was: Not registered on network. I also mentioned that superSU is indeed installed cause I can clear su's data, etc from the manage apps area. I use groove IP for phone calls and I've been putting the code in the phone settings not the groove voip app if that matters.
bumped after a few days of waiting patiently.
Hi i was having similar issues, did you try
*#234#* instead of *#*#234#*#* that worked for me before although my issue now is different.
i was getting an error and work around it by installing
System app remover (root) from play store
then went to apkmanger and click on reinstal Supersu, that bring back the icon
that did not solve my problem of the dialing code not working anymore, but it got me to super su app
hope it helps

[ How To ] Browser Bookmark Sync Issues

This is my first ever post on XDA...
I found an interesting situation where after installing Beanstalk 4.4.200 and pa-gapps-mini, my android browser bookmark sync was gone. All I could see is "Local" in the browser not the additional bookmarks from my Chrome account. Just to make sure I went to Settings > Accounts > Google > [email protected], the Browser option is not there! So, I updated to the newest version of Beanstalk (4.4.225) and grabbed the gapps posted by the OP (gapps-kk-20131208.zip). Still, no solution. I tried searching everywhere and found no solution.
Then, I found that there is an APK that takes care of this called ChromeBookmarksSyncAdaptor.apk
I stumbled upon it by digging into the zip file for pa-gapps-full. It should be under the gapps location: system > app > ChromeBookmarksSyncAdaptor.apk
I pulled it out of the pa-gapps-full package, put it on my Infuse SDCard (thank you Dropbox!), and installed it by using Root Browser to copy the apk file into /system/app
After a reboot, the option to Sync in the Android accounts area is there. I just had to check it. Now I can see Chrome bookmarks in my Android browser.
PA-gapps thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Thought I'd share incase anyone else ran into this problem.
Has anyone else seen this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thank you!

If you are not rooted, sounds like you are still on the stock ROM. If that's the case, all the appropriate APK's will still be there, and the problem is related to a bad sync. Remove your google account, and re-add. That should fix it.
Btw, you don't need root to install non-market APK's, just get an APK installer from Google Play and adjust your settings to allow non-market apps.
Finally, does Chrome even work with Gingerbread? I thought it was only ICS and up?

[Resolved] [Q] Change default download location/downloader

I am using a Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII running Cyanogen Mod 11 LTE build.
I am new to the fourm. I know many people have asked how to change the download location before, but I am unable to even use a alternate downloader. I use chrome beta as my browser. I downloaded ES File Explorer and Download Manager, but it never prompted me to use either as the default downloader. I even went into the settings and cleared the defaults. It still never prompted me to use them. Can anyone help?

I use ES File Explorer also and if you want to change the download folder or location goto:
=> Fast access (swipe to right)
=> Go to settings (in back) - select
and you will see a another menu with: - display settings - cleanup settings - Directory settings
- Select and you can change your home directory - your bluetooth share path and your download path
You just need to search a little bit in your apk

Thanks, but for some reason it never prompted me to use it as a downloader. Do you have a fix for that? I think it is a very rare problem since I couldn't find anything about it on the form.

Have you try to uninstall, wipe cache and dalvik by your recovery, and re-install.

"Download unsuccsessful" - error message from some browser on some XDA download links

"Download unsuccsessful" - error message from some browser on some XDA download links
Hello there!
Firstly i wanna say sorry if this was already solved, but i've been looking litterally everywhere on the web and couldn't find ANY solution to my specific problem, nor anyone who had the same issue.
The problem is a "download unsuccessful" error given when i try to download from this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3890995&d=1475259527
This is the page where the link is:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/mod-google-keyboard-unicode-9-10-emojis-t3348544
The error is not on every browser, but just on some of 'em:
Chrome: works
Opera: works
Furefox: works
Samsung Internet Beta: doesn't
Via Browser: doesn't
Before having encountered this issue, i just wanted to try out the new Samsung browser, and eventually decided to dump Chrome for the latter. I did a few compatibility test to check if everything was alright, but that link (as another one in the same page and, likely, many others around) didn't want to work. Other links actually do.
I tried all the solutions i found online:
-uninstalling Chrome and wipe Samsung Internet cache
-wipe Download Manager cache, then force close it
-messing around with all the settings, permissions etc
Now, i went back to the laggy Chrome and end of the story. But i'm still really curious to know why this happens, why with some specific links and why only on some browsers.
Thanks for the help

Maybe because you need to go into system settings>apps>name of.apk, then open it's permission settings, make sure it has permissions to access storage.

I wish it was that easy. I gave all the permissions needed. That's not the issue for sure.
