[Q] change MMS default media source - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the default message app, how can I change the default media source from stock gallery app to quickpic? I inadvertently set it to always use gallery, but prefer QuickPic.

You need to go into
"Settings"
"Apps" then choose ALL
Scroll down to Gallery open app info
Scroll down to "Launch by default" and clear the default.
Then when you go to open any media in the messaging ap it will offer you the choice.
I hope this helps

Perfect. Thank you very much.

as a new user, I can't post a link, but you can find a download link for the pro version at getandroidstuff-dot-com. just search for gallery private. once it returns the app from the search result, click on the gallery private app name and it will take you to a description page where you'll find a download link. or if you can find it elsewhere, that's cool too.
once you install it on your phone, it won't show up in your applications window, but you do have it installed. it's supposed to be discreet that's why it doesnt appear among your apps. instead, to access it, you have to add it as a shortcut to your homescreen. you'll see a G.P. (Pro) selection. just select it and it will create a shortcut icon on your homescreen, which you can drag into a folder if you want. Then bingo, you got gallery private and can modify the icon and the name!
Or search for audio manager on the market, its a private gallery for pics, vids, and anything you want to hide.

here is G.P. free. The easiest way to hide files is to use a file manage like astro and make a new file that starts with . (example .private) Any folders that start with the period are hidden folders and its contents will not show up on phone but you can still view them with the manager. you can then go to the settings in the manager and set it to not show the hidden folders. hope this helps
thanks everyone for the help i actually started using the audio manager one it works pretty good.

Hi bro. Thanks for share this app, but you can have the "G.P. (Free)" with "Search Files on SD" option?
Thanks so much.
I can't restore the old albums encrypted with this app... But your version not have a "search on sdcard" for encrypted old files with the app.
Thanks (again)

It might not show as an installed app. Try going to:
Settings > Language and Keyboard
and see if it shows as an installed keyboard. Tick the box and then see if there is a 'settings' shortcut for you to adjust the keyboard settings.
After, go to a text field (e.g. browser) and long press in it and select 'Input method'.
Go in to settings}language /keyboard and select it. Then go to any text field, like text messages and long press the empty field. Select input method and the select your keyboard.
Hope I didn't confuse you.

I assume by "my list of downloaded applications" you mean the list in Android Market. If you installed the app from an apk it won't show up there.
If you mean it doesn't show in your launchers app drawer, that's because it's a keyboard, not an app. Starting just the keyboard makes no sense so that option is not provided.
hey guys.. i found the solution. all i had to do was press on any space in mail or text where text is entered and a dialog would come up and ask me what keyboard i wanted.. thank you all for your efforts anyway..

Default apps

So I love this phone. I just switched from my captivate which was an amazing phone. The only thing I can't figure out is how to clear app associations. When I want to set ringtones, under sound settings I usually get the option to choose from zedge, android system etc. Can't. Also, when opening a YouTube vid in the browser, I used to be able to select browser or YouTube app. How can I get this back?

If you're running an older version of Sense 4, go into Settings -> App Associations, and you should be able to change the defaults there.
If you don't have that option, go to Settings -> Apps. From here, select the app that is the default (like Zedge, for example), scroll down and look for the button that says "Clear Defaults". Hope that helps .
Well under app associations there is nothing for ringtones or YouTube links.

In stock Sense, some of the associations are locked to the browser because of HTC's patent disputes with Apple. For example, you can't set Youtube videos to the Youtube app.
There is a way to change this, but I think you have to be rooted to do because you need to change some files in /system. It's been a while since I did it, but search the Development forum for discussions on htclinkify.
Most custom roms have the fix baked in.

[Q] how to force the use of a selected app avoiding choice menu

Hi to you all.
I am not using the default browser or the default calendar.
However, each time I open an internet link it asks me which browser to use and if it is punctual or permanent.
When I select permanent it directs me towards settings/general/applications by default.
When I go there, I only find the choice between Touchwiz and Nova my launcher, nothing on browser choice (or Calendar for which I have same issue): no other menu...
Could someone advise where I got it wrong?
Thanks a lot

usually if should ask which app to use and give a choice of always or just once. What country is yours from? maybe it is a regional thing.

How to set Android Messages as default for good.

Hi,
I am using Android Message app as I want RCS. I installed the app and made it default in settings.
However, after some time if i open the messages app, it again asks me to set it as default. If i check the default apps, messaging app (MIUI) is set as default. due to this, my RCS functionality gets disrupted.
Is there a way to stop the messaging app changing settings and making itself default?
Thanks
