Any build.prop edits to bring back youtube? - HTC One S

For some reason, even after I clear app defaults, you tube does not show up as a selectable option when I click on a youtube link within facebook. My research revealed there was a line in build.prop that started with ro.da1 or something you can edit in the past, but I cannot find anything similar in my build.prop. Any ideas?

have your cleared app defaults for youtube or for the app you're geting the link with?

I'm on Maximus, it does ask browser/YouTube app.
stupid thing is it opens browser up (probably tri speed up the time to watch video) before asking browser/YouTube app.
So after watching the video on the YouTube app I still have to close the browser that it opened.

Disable auto adding http:// to url in browser?

Any way to disable adding the http to the url/search box in the browser? It's pretty annoying having to delete it each time I want to do a Google search. The Nexus One doesn't automatically add it and I like that a lot better. Thanks.

Hit the physical search button at the bottom takes you to a search only box. That is how I got around it at the store hope that helps

MMS attached images playing like movies

In the native messaging app, attached images don't show a picture thumbnail like they do in third party apps like GO. Instead, there is a little play button and it opens a little media player. But on some ROMs that I've flashed, it has been an image thumbnail that would open an image. That leads me to believe that there is a setting somewhere that affects this. Is there a way to change how MMS behaves to attachments?

Keeping Music App "Ongoing"

Hi all, anyone know of a way to maintain the Play Music app as an ongoing app? If for whatever reason the app closes, you must relaunch the app to regain the quick play features in the notification pulldown.
Coming from an iPhone, this is one feature I would love to get back.
Thanks

Not really sure how to make it ongoing, but you can put the Play Music widget on one your homescreens to quickly start it from where you left off if it closes.

Try installing a music player that has a widget such as mxplayer so you can just resume the music from the home screen.

Actually I found an halfway working solution. Using Notification Toggle, I set up a shortcut to play/pause music. Unfortunately is starts/stop the last music app used so it defaults to the stock app. Have to start Play Music first in order for it to work properly. At least it works anywhere

I dont understand how HTC doesnt see an issue w/ this. I used mog and pandora and it stops multiple times during my work out. Its really annoying to have to stop, launch the app, and then hope it continues when i lock my phone again.

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.

HTC EVO 4G Stock browser "Launch by Default" not clearing

The "Launch by Default" selection on my HTC EVO 4G (original) stock browser isn't clearing. When I'm on it and want to view a video (I.e. YouTube) instead of asking me which app would I like to use it automatically opens it in the browser also along with Google Play and Google Maps instead of going into the spa which I want it to do. It's frustrating as hell and it never used to do this before. I've done the Settings>Applications>Manage Apps>All Apps>Internet>Clear Defaults and still it won't clear them. Any idea why?

Same thing
that's odd that you say you have an HTC phone. I do too, and I wanted to change my main browser from the stock to opera because I like opera much better. I used to be able to change it whenever by clearing defaults in the settings, but not it doesn't work... I just noticed it yesterday too. I would really like to change my main browser to opera, but I don't know how. I have a Droid incredible 2
