I was looking around to figure out if there is a way to make app specific default application choices. It somewhat works now but some apps must piggyback off others when you make a choice which I don't want. I want to force each app to have a default application choice. For example, if I choose Chrome as my default app choice when opening a link in Facebook, it automatically chooses to do the same when I open a link in twitter. I want to choose Javalin browser for twitter to allow me to keep browsing my twitter feed while that link loads. Is there anyway to restrict a default application choice to just the app I'm choosing it from and not a blanket choice for when I'm opening a link in an app? Thanks!

Hi all
Does anyone know of an app that allows you to manage the share actions you have in android?
ref http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ShareActionProvider.html
When you try to share something now, say from twitter, you get a huge list of possible app that support shareaction api. however each of them still requires some secondary steps to actually share the content, eg gmail requires email address and to press the send to address.
I would be looking for 2 features:
- manage what is displayed when you share something on from and android app, eg limit the amount of apps to only those you find relevant, could be as simple as a checklist of apps you want to see in your share menu
- ability to create custom share item, eg an item that allows to directly mail to a certain email address. so that when you select the item from the share menu there is no need for a secondary action, the email is sent directly.
so if anyone knows of an app that does this or could develop such an app that would be great.
plz also let me know if you think is is an interesting idea or not. thx

Here is one I've found that is limited but the Dev. is actively developing it and is open to suggestions. I also like FolderSync for FTP and other methods.
I know these aren't what you're looking for but both are great apps.
Don't the have time for searching apps in your phone Or URL's in your browser?
Well now you have all in One Application!
All you need to do is just pick.
The application allows access to all the apps you have on your device, and allows you to add URL links that will automatically be saved when you exit from the device and shall thus be able to enter directly.

So I've been using my OPO for several months now and love it, but there's one aspect of it that I haven't been able to fix just yet. I'm not sure if this stems from moving to 4.4 from 4.2 or something rolled into the stock CM11 rom.
With my past Android phones, when I would go to attach a photo to a text message or send one via skype or another app, it would ask me for what app to use. I use quickpic as my default gallery app so I would select that as my default for that action and all was well with future attachments. With the OPO I don't get a prompt at all and instead it directs me to a "recent files" view where everything that I have recently saved or modified on the device is displayed.
Along the left side it lists all the file browsing apps and services on the device (stock gallery, G+ photos, file manager, dropbox, quickpic, etc) which I can then press and it will load that app for me to choose the file I want. I just want it to go directly into quickpic and skip all that other nonsense but I can't figure out how to make it do that.
I've reset the default apps on the device in hopes that this was some system app that was taking over, but it still does not bring up the "default app" prompt to let me choose what I want. I have attached a screenshot of what comes up.
Any ideas how to override this behavior and get back the use of my gallery app?
Favourite Contacts finds out the top contacts by monitoring the SMS activity from your device. Based on how much and how often you contact a person, this app determines which contacts should make it to your home screen for your facility.
I claim that this app can be used as a must have widget for those users who text frequently. I have personally used this algorithm long before I could make apps, only using the good old Tasker app and the results were extremely good. Now it is a full fledged app, and that too, unprecedented; Because I could not find a similarly working app on play store.
The app offers three different algorithms to suit the needs of different users.
The widget can be configured to open the contact, open the dialer, or to compose the SMS.
There can be 5 contacts on a widget.
There is an option to ignore the contacts which you do not wish to see on the widget.

Just sent an update to the app. This should conserve lesser battery.
I am looking for possibility to run only:
- phone
- contact list
- chrome
- camera
- music player
on Android device. I want to check app first before I decide to give permission to run it. I want to run Phone app but I want to block SMS app and all other messaging apps.
How can I set it up ?
The purpose is to give the smartfone to the kid but with very limited options, so it's not using messaging and other chat apps , the only way of communication is just phone call but also I want her to have a Web Browser and phone Contact list, Camera and some Music apps so she can use it as a player anytime.
No distracting apps loaded with ads, no texting, no notifications.
Please help with the simplest solution for that.
Thank you
