Default Manger - myTouch 4G Themes and Apps

Hi
Found this very useful app. Default App manager.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager&feature=search_result
Thanks

This app seems to do the same thing the phone already does without having to install that app. Once you install an app that replaces a system app or another app the phone asks you which you want to have as default.
I really don't know the point of this app unless there's something else to it.

That would be true except when I want to set a different app as the default app. See the case below.
I've Go dialer as the default dialer which was set when I got the prompt the first time I tried to use a dialer after installing the Go dialer. So I picked Go dialer as the default . Now with Default manager I can switch back to the stock dialer as the defaul without uninstalling Go dialer. Not sure how I can easily do that without the help of an app like Default Manager. If there is an easy way to do it without an app like this I would love to know it.
Thanks!

Again, that can also be done with the system the phone already has. All you have to do is go to settings/applications find the third party dialer and clear default. Now when you go and use the dialer, it will ask you again which you want as default. Once you choose a default, done! You don't even have to delete the third party dialer.
You can keep repeating that process over and over without the need of this app.

I can't find the option to clear default in the settings/application/third party dialer screen. Please see the screen shots. 2nd one for the defualt app manager. What am I missing here? Using MIUI.
Thanks!

I see. That's what happen when you use an iphone look a like rom lol. Kidding.
On sense roms or asop roms, it gives you the option. I don't use a third party dialer but dowladed it just to show you.
See screenie below. It gives you the option to clear default.

[Q] Change app icon/name in bottom dock

I was wondering if it's possible to change an app's name and icon in the bottom dock? I can't seem to find any apps for it, the only ones (anycut, bettercut, desktop visualizer etc) I can find are only able to create shortcuts on the homescreen, but I can't put those in the dock.
I know there's LauncherPro/AWD, but I would like to keep using Touchwiz 4.
tl;dr:

You may consider trying out Bettercut or SuperShortcuts.
I have not tested those, but according to their features it looks to achieve what you are looking for.

Those apps create shortcuts on the homescreen, which you can't drag into the dock.

I don't want to use a launcher, but I would like to be able to to customise the icons and text. Something like what Desktop Visualiser does for home screen icons.
It should be possible since other launchers can do it, right? Or is TW a little bit too complicated?
I'm using Go Launcher Ex atm, it's pretty good but TouchWiz 4 feels faster and smoother.
Custom launcher icons (u don't have to change ur home or launcher)

Really?
My reading of the app description implies that one needs a launcher to make use of the dock customisation.
Correct me if I am wrong. If this is not the case then this may well be the answer. I am happy to pay for the app if it does the job; however I am reluctant to dive on in without confirmation that this is indeed the solution to the problem.
Can anyone confirm that Custom Launcher Icons can be used to edit the icon and text of a TW dock icon without the need for a launcher or root access?

I used to have it on my androided HD2, it was with ADW launcher...
I tried it on the TW, i guess it needs a launcher after all
Sorry for the wrong info guys!
Bummer. Thought we might have been on to something there. Never mind.
The search goes on.

I am yet to find a solution that doesn't involve installing an alternative launcher.

Call screen

is there any other call screen for CM7? i would like to change appearance of the incoming and outgoing screen.
Use GoLauncher EX.
i am using go launcher EX but have no idea how to change call screen with this
Use go contacts...... has a dialler with themes and there is also go sms to match.
#Edit# Sorry didn't read properly incoming and outgoing, I can't remember if go contacts changes that? Try searching the market for call screen, I used full screen caller I'd for a while but it was a bit buggy.

First you said call screen (the screen you see when you're making/answering a call)and in my #edit# I pointed you in the direction of full screen caller id an app that changes the call screen!
Second the only way I know of to change the dialling screen in cm7 is to try a different theme with theme chooser. You can find themes on the market or on here.

i already tried full screen caller but it is just an app...i would like to change it without another app which will slow down the answer (my experience).
BUT i dont want to change theme - i like it just the way it is now..
i dont want to be rude but if it is not possible to change just that screen just say it
Its not possible
it is shame but thank you

Only other way I can think of would be to change the image in your system folder using root explorer, if that is even possible, I don't know as I've never tried to do it, I used cm7 for a while but then went back to sense as it suits me better.............Try doing some research!!
Also i don't mean to be rude either but a simple no thats not what I meant but thanks for trying to help me anyway, or something along those lines wouldn't go amiss now would it...... Manners cost nothing!

as i said few post before...i have my own dialer and contacts - GO contacts and i dont want another app for "call screen"..this is in my opinion "dial screen"
Sense (and sense based roms) use their own framework so i guess getting a call screen to match it is a no go. I guess someone "could" create a custom call screen but on our wildfires with the limited resolution and stuff? who would bother
you are right, BUT ( ! ) someone maybe would !
and what if i would change the Phone.apk from /system/app for another phone.apk from maybe different ROM ? would it change the "call screen" ?
No, I think that this will just change the default dialer, so it will be the same as if you just changed the app through the system normally...

Seeing texts on lock screen

Is there an app or mod that let's u see a text message on lock screen?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
You could try using Go Locker or Widget Locker, or a similar lockscreen replacement. That's probably your best option.
Other than that, I don't believe you can... You can get it to show up in the notification bar, but it won't stay up; you'll have to read it right when you got it. When it finishes scrolling through the message, it'll go away.
Handcent has a popup that might work for you. Not a lockscreen though.

MiLocker has a few I like.

I wanted to try GoLocker but I think it requires GoLauncher and I rather not have that and use Apex.

I'm pretty certain you can install and use GoLocker without GoLauncher. It should let you select the launcher you want it to go to, just like the other lockscreen replacement apps.
Yea I know you can choose APEX but having GoLauncher installed in the background just bothers me.

Well how about that. Yeah you're right, that is very annoying...especially since GoLauncher is going to be using resources in the background...
Try widgetlocker + pure messenger widget.
SmsPopup is excellent, been using for a while now and really like it, you don't need to replace your messaging app, it just handles the notifications with a nice pop up and quick-reply feature. And its free, no ads.
My SMS app (free) has a setting to allow a text to show on the lockscreen
SMS Popup is the closest thing you can get if u don't want the extra packaging(IE: Handcent) although just remember it might drain your battery if youre conservative although you won't see much of a difference just make sure to turn off notifications on the SMS on the OS to avoid any conflict because the app has its own notification
Sent from my Galaxy S2 using XDA
I've been using Nova Launcher with Widget Locker and TeslaUnread (ADW Notifier works too). Basically, when I get a notification, I get a tiny icon my lockscreen button that I have to slide and I just slide it to my messaging app shortcut (which has the notification) and voila. It's not the same but it's similar and gets the job done. I have it going for K9 mail too.

+1, or any other SMS widget (e.g.). Search for "SMS Widget" on the market.
go sms will allow it as well. and you can customize the entire appearance settings as you can in handcent but with the pop ups included. and you dont have to download any of the other go services to be able to use it. if you dont like the look or use of gosms try handcent instead. i used it for a long time with hardly any issues

CM9 (OFFICIAL) Questions

I have a couple of questions about CM9. I'm running CM9 RC2 (7-19-2012). I was setting up my alarms and on the ICS stock clock app I was able to set actual music from my music folder as the alarm sound, however I didn't see any options for doing this in CM9. Is there a way to do this with the stock CM9 clock app, if not is there a way to get the stock ICS clock app, or do I need to download a 3rd party alarm app? My second question concerns email. I was using the ICS stock email app because I liked the unified inbox that it had. However I do not see anything like this in CM9. Am I missing it somewhere (if so where), if not can i get the stock ICS email app, or what 3rd party app do you recommend for having all my email in one place? Thanks in advance for any help/insight.
I would try pulling apk's from a pure ics rom and see what happens. Good chance it won't work though

XDA is no longer worth my time.
The tw (stock) apps won't work the clock app requires the my files app which requires the touch wiz overlay in the framework.
I use a 3rd party sms app, handcent, that on top of being an awesome sms app, can be launched to assign most other sounds from within other apps, and from there you can pick any audio file you have(see pics below)
I also use k9 email instead of the included app... I've used both handcent and k9 since before i even got my note.

When you set the alarm ringtone it should give you an option to use your file explorer to choose a ringtone. Go to your music folder and pick the song you want. As far as email, just go into the settings of the stock email app and add accounts.
Edit:Ahhh! Studa!
i don't get an explorer option froid, which explorer specifically are you referring?
I get this
Oh, i use root explorer and uninstall es... So that maybe perhaps be why i don't get that possibly.
Hmmmm. That is strange. Just figured it popped up no matter what file explorer you were using.

The regular way doesn't seem to work, hence the thread
Install the Google Launcher, then click on the Google Launcher icon, it will come up with the message, see image, click on the settings, scroll down and clear defaults, then go back to home, click on Google Launcher again, and it will give you the choice.

What the hell, I tried this 3 times yesterday and it wouldn't work, now it worked first time! Thanks for that.
PEBKAC!
I tried this and after installing GNL I didn't get an option to select it. I rebooted the phone and the option is now there. So if you have problems, try rebooting your phone after the installation.
I'm trying to do this on MM, but when I click on Settings nothing happens.
Any advice?

Try set Google now launcher as default in Settings → App → advanced → something about default app → set, no ? :d
I have the same problem.
Once I tap on settings in the google now prompt it tries to open the settings but fails. Same with nova launcher or trying the settings from the configuration menu. Any solutions?
go to settings -> Manage Apps - > Click on the gear icon setting " Default App Settings" - > Click launcher -> choose your preferred launcher
Sometimes installing another launcher will make Google Now visible in the default home settings. So if GNL isn't showing in the home/launcher settings, try installing some random launcher, Apex for example, and then try going to settings again. This has worked for me before
gnl still not there
hi people wassnt going to route my phone but heard about GNL but i cnt seem to see it in the default apps. i have tried installing apex and that is there but still no joy. all i want to do is not to have the chinese writing on the keyboard and to log into my google account so all my contacts are there. on my phone.
