I deleted the linkify stuff with root explorer and now youtube runs as an app and phone number links bring up the dialer. If you don't want to pay for RE, try Estrong File Manager, but it's root access is a bit tricky to figure out...you need to go into the settings to enable each time, I found.

thanks i was able to edit and delete the htc linkify file using the app u sugested... but im still not able to get the PHONE NUMBER ACTION screen when i click a number in a app... this is very frustrating and i dont understand y only nexus one is able to popup that screen...

I can't help you fix the issue. But as for your last question... HTC was forced to remove it due to Apple patent litigation.

I am wondering the same thing. There are obviously more threads related to HTClinkifydispatcher, and the build.prop changes that are supposed to return functionality that HTC removed to comply with Apple patent requirements. However, this is what I have found. I am able to click links, Youtube links, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses in emails, texts, etc. from my bone stock Evo LTE. However, these links will only launch in the default application selected in the HTC App Association Settings menu. After rooting and making changes to build.prop (using Build Prop Editor eliminates issues with multiple entries of the same property), I am able to get selection option menus for certain linkable items. For example, Youtube links give options for browsers, or Youtube app. Email addresses, let me choose to send email using any of the email accounts I have set-up. HTML links let me choose between stock browser or Chrome. And addreses let me select to open in browsers or Google Maps. However, clicking on a phone number simply launches the phone dialer (just like stock), and does not give me the option to send a text message. Also, email addresses and phone numbers do not give an option to add a contact.
I have discovered that options are only provided if there are options that can be selected in the app associations menu. For example, the options I have in the app associations menu match exactly with the options I am presented when clicking linkable data as per above. However, if the app associations menu does not have options (in my menu the only association I can make to phone numbers is to the phone dialer) then the default (only) option will be launched when that data is selected. Does anyone else have send SMS or MMS text message as an option for phone numbers in the app association menu, or when clicking phone numbers in text after making the build.prop changes?
I think these workarounds are close, but IMHO we still do not have the true functionality that was removed due to the apple patent.

what's funny is that i now have absolutely no qik apps on my phone, that i can find, or apk's hidden anywhere. but, when i go to the downloads page in the market, all it says for qik is 'update available', as if i have it installed :/ go figure

Texts on lock screen display phone # instead of contact name

Under settings->personalize->lock screen style I have the "productivity" lock screen setting chosen in order to display calender, texts, etc on the lock screen.
Whenever I get a text the contacts phone number is displayed on the lock screen with the message rather than the contact's actual name.
Does anyone have this bug?
I've got it. I assume it's a setting I haven't figured out how to change. If it's permanent I might be a little frustrated but it is kind of nice for privacy

I'm pretty sure it's not a setting, I've looked through settings everywhere. I found a setting under the privacy setting to enable or disable displaying text message text - but nothing related to the contact name / number.
I fixed it by going in and editing each individual number in google contacts and taking them from the 1 (###) ###-#### format to just ########## all consecutive.
Thanks! How did you think to do that? And why does it make a difference? Did it also fix the lag in display names in the messages app for you?

Don't have access to enough friend's phones right now to test that but thanks for reporting.
Even if this work around works it's still an issue - I'm sure all of us and HTC will agree that the format of the number shouldn't matter.

You don't need your friend's phone to do that. Just go to contacts.google.com and edit your existing contacts so their phone number is in the correct format.

No, what I was saying is I didn't have other people near me to text me so that I could test out the theory.
There's no way I'm combing through my contacts to remove the parenthesis and dashes from the stored phone numbers to fix this.
I reported the issue to HTC here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/email-support
The more that report it the faster it will be fixed - and hopefully be in the next update.

Ah, I misunderstood you. Sorry about that. I decided to give it a shot just by fixing a couple of numbers of people that I text the most. If it works for them, I'll consider combing through the rest of my people.
Yeah it sucked, but it definitely made it better. I get a full notification on my lock screen from who is sending it by name, and I never have an issue while in the texting app seeing the number and not the name. All around, it's an improvement, and it was much needed. Lol.

CM 10.1 Epinter Olympus Text Issue

I can receive texts no problem, but when I go to type a new text (and this may be a keyboard issue) it allows me to type one or two letters, before the keyboard just goes away off the screen and I have to wait a few seconds and then click back into the textbox in order to continue typing.
This issue is occurring for me on the MB860. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a workaround?
That sometimes happens, maybe it's just an android bug, I'd suggest you get Hacker's keyboard it is very good and never crashes.
Hope this helps
If the problem still persists get another texting app.

AWESOME!!
Now I am running into one other small problem (and this I am sure is user error).
When I click on the phone and look at my contacts I am showing the same contact multiple times. But if I click on the 'contacts' icon, it shows accurate contacts/numbers etc.
What setting changes this?

I didn't see a way to delete the duplicate contacts. Anytime I click on them it calls, or if I click the settings button there is only an add option.
And a phone reboot didn't work That was the 1st thing I attempted, lol

You should get another contatcs app and import them, you should try long pressing your contacts

Long pressing does nothing. Let me try to use the proper terminology here...my "Dialer" is showing incorrect contact info but my "Contact" app is showing the correct contact info.
Should I try to get another Dialer...is that possible?
Oh, I don't have a phone that calls but maybe you should get another dialer apk like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contapps.android.dialer&hl=en

I think you can have two dialers at once. If not just remove the old one. Try installing it first cause without a dialer your os may malfunction.

I will give that a twirl and see how it works out. I am currently using CWM to make a full back-up just in case I get a little to trigger happy and mess something up.

How do I set this as the default Dialer?

I actually decided to get to the root of this problem and I took a look at my google contacts since I was loading the contacts from google. Somehow all my contacts were duplicated (some triplicated) in google contacts. I updated google contacts and now they are only pulling in once.
Now I still can't figure out how to modify a contact in the Dialer that ships with CM10.1 epinter tho.
Also -- Is there a way to keep your phone brightness @ max when it is charging? I can't seem to get that setting right either.
Try this maybe: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en

i dont know the app you mentioned, but im guessing if you go into the system app folder, you probably would be able to see it there, and delete it.
EDIT: i looked into ispyoo a bit, try dialling
#4779*
and see what that gives you.

Thank you very much for reply. ))
But the app isnt showing in system folder too. That number is not working either. you can see how they trickfully said on that website "(Once iSpyoo is installed you will find a new icon on your phone. Or to make dial #4779* to open iSpyoo.)"
They dont want users to remove it easily.
But we know its there, because he got email confirmation of ispyoo is activated. And whatsapp conversation word files are being created automatically..

well its an app, so it definitely has to be somewhere. you can try /device>data>app, thats where user apps are, it might be there. failing that, i would download es file explorer and go the topmost folder, that contains all other folders, and search for all apk files, it probably will find it. if it dosent, search again with ispyoo as the saerch keyword, if tthat still hasnt found it use recovery to totally wipe the entire device.
or just ask the person who put it on to remove it.

Hallo
They have option to login to the website with usersname and password, and then go to uninstall option. It gets uninstalled from there to your phone.
We cornered the guy!!, and then he(scared) removed it using the users name and password he signed up for it. (A legendary old method for app solution!)
It even had option to disallow certain apps, or stop apps in the target phone. Do you believe? Now all good.
Thank you for your concern and help )

Hello bro, were you able to remove it from iphone? I had no idea... may be you reset the iphone? I hope something worked for you.
so, question still remains, how do you check the program is installed or not if it is hidden?
To check if the app is installed or not (while its hidden) you should have root access in your phone. Open the root directory and system folder and search for the installed apps. In this folder you will see all the installed apps on your phone wether they are hidden or visible.
Btw these days not only the syping apps are spying on users but even the utility or gaming apps spy on users via microphone or taking screenshots of device display to collect data and show revelent ads to them.

customise the share with menu

Not sure if this correct forum and if I've even got the menu name right. But on my one plus nord it called share with. Id know i can pin apps ut as I dont get a full list be default without having to click another button. With Instagram incising on put direct as the first choice and not my feed.
Does anyone have a way you can remove or modify the list of apps shown. With out the need to route please .
Did search but just kept getting apps about sharing apps and not what I'm after.
Thanks guys and girls
