[Q] I can not set as default an apk - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I post here because I think my problem is a common android problem...excuse me for my bad english, I hope you understand my exposition.
In my tablet Note 10.1 I have installed some different browsers because I'm evalueting which is the best, now I'm using one that for convenience we will name AA.
So, whenever I tap on a link and appears a window with the list of browser I tap on AA and appearss the classic window that says "complete action using" and after "just this once / always" I tap on "always" . Afterwords if I try to open a link appears again the same message "complete action using" I also went into the application manager and I deleted the value "delete default" by all browsers.
The same thing happens to me if I open a pdf or excel file.
What can you tell me about?
Thanks

[Q] Folder shortcut for quick links?

Is it possible to put a folder shortcut in the quick links menu such as games folder or office mobile? It would be a lot more convenient to have just the folder instead of each game put up and would save space. I am using cookies home tab btw if that is important at all. I tried searching and didn't come up with anything useful.thanks for the help.

Probably it will be me who don't understand the question; but do you would have a folder with shortcuts in the windows view, or do you need a shortcuts in the today screen to a specific folder?
sorry fore the question; but didn't see it clearly.
in the today screen.

In this case; I'm sorry, I can not help you out of it.
In the past I have tray to make a shortcut of a folder; so that I can ad it into the Today Screen; unfortunately I got a Error who mention it wasn't signed.
Thil here I didn't find a solution. I hope someone-els can help you out if there is a way/solution.
i too have never had any luck..
quickly read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576232
haven't given it a go...care to read and see if it may work?
cheers.
you will need resco explorer for my solution.
1. navigate to the folder you want to add to quicklinks
2. long press on that folder to get a popup
3. select "send to" in the popup
4.at the bottom of the menu you will see "startmenu as a shortcut" choose that
5. go back to sense starting page and press "menu" on the lower right side
6. choose "edit quicklinks"
you will now see that the folder you want to add is already there
hope that helped...

X-Scope Question

Have gone back using X-Scope as my default browser on my phone after their recent big updates but 2 things i cant seem to find out, whereabouts is the address bar gone to type in website URL's and why after closing a tab does it then ask me to exit?
Thanks
If you scroll from the top, you'll have the url bar back.
If you've got no opened tabs, it will suppose that you want to exit, so it just asks how.

sorry mate that isn't working there is no option that i can see to type in a URL at all
in the previous version before the ICS update you could just close the tab and X-Scope closed, with this you close the tab and it then asks you to exit,surely you can just close the tab without having to click on exit too.
anyone any suggestions?

[Q] Replace the "Always" and "Just Once" options when opening a link/file...

[Q] Replace the "Always" and "Just Once" options when opening a link/file...
Is there any way to mod the phone so that instead of asking if I want to use a particular app "Always" or "Just Once" it assumes its "Just Once" unless I click an "Always" check box?
Its really a drag, especially on web links when I have 6 browsers and may want to use a different one at different times for whatever reason, to have to keep selecting the app and hit "Just Once" every single time. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Re: [Q] Replace the "Always" and "Just Once" options when opening a link/file...
You can double tap the icon. Or you can use Default picker from Play

Yeah I also hate the change they made with the JB release. Tried double tapping as suggested in the previous post but ut didn't work. Still need to tap 'just once'.

Re: [Q] Replace the "Always" and "Just Once" options when opening a link/file...
I've read about double tapping elsewhere and didn't test it myself
SOLVED SOLUTION:
For this to work you must install the [XPOSED Framework] and the [AlternateAppPicker: ICS-style default app chooser for JB]
This Xposed modification brings back an ICS-style default application picker where you just tap the application name once for it to launch, and tap a checkbox prior to that if you want it to be the default app.

[Q] App to control Android 4.1.2 JB "Complete action using" .. "Just once" prompt?

[Q] App to control Android 4.1.2 JB "Complete action using" .. "Just once" prompt?
I just upgraded from Android 4.0.4 to 4.1.2, and I am very annoyed by the new "Complete action using" prompt. I use more than one browser, more than one document viewer, etc, so I do not set default handler apps for a variety of common tasks (above all, launching URLs from within email messages).
It used to be that I would click on a link, or a document, etc, and the platform would present me with a list of apps, and I would click one (one single tap) and the selected app would launch.
Now, it's TWO taps - select the desired app, and click "Just once".
What an idiotic user interface change - ADDING steps and slowing down the user, when the previous interface was about as efficient as it could be.
Is there an app to control that "Complete action using" prompt, ideally with these features:
1. Set a default, but be able to override the default on a per-action basis by e.g. long-pressing the item which would launch the default app or the app selector; but in any case
2. NOT have this insane second "Just once" tap every time?
thanks!

Brilliant, thank you! Asks for no permissions at all; puts itself in the Accessibility tools configuration menu, and when on it simply Auto Taps the Just Once button each time you tap on an app to handle a particular action so that you don't have to always tap the Just Once button yourself. Excellent!
One curious thing, Accessibility tools, even though they don't ask for any permissions at all, apparently can see every keystroke (except device-local password entries). But I assume, since Free Wing has many tools with millions of aggregate downloads, that he's a good guy and wouldn't do anything evil.
The only reason I didn't give it a star rating in the App Store is because I refuse to use Google+, and Google prohibits anyone from rating apps anymore if they won't use Google's own personal social network. Google, whatever happened to the version of you which wouldn't do any evil? I hope thousands of others use this and give it good ratings.
When selecting application,
Double tap application icon to Auto tap 'Just once' button for Jelly Bean(Android OS 4.1 only).
This operation is equivalent to OS4.2.

Bypass is possible
"Autotap Just Once" from the Amazon Appstore solves this problem. The prompt looks the same, so the "just once" button is there too, but if you select any app it opens right away. It also highlights the selection you made last time which makes it easier to spot the app you'll likely select. It warns that it isn't compatible with certain features, but I have not had issues, but if I did, just open the app up and turn off the autotap feature!

Tasker start task on specific time on game

I am interested in this and it is very important that someone explain to me and say whether it can be done and if it can, how?
I play BOWLING KING and I read that TASKER can only do many operations, wondering if it can do it. one game takes about 180 seconds, then ends, and after that SEARCH PLAYER is opened, what interests me is whether it is possible with the touch program to get someone to start looking for a player after the 180s, and not that I have to do it . If possible, how to do it? Is it possible to do this or to connect a botmaker with a task? Thanks.

I don't use Tasker myself but, I believe that one or more of the following threads should be helpful for what you are looking for. Don't be afraid to ask for some member guidance within one of them too.

You can do this by using the Auto input tasker plugin
Create a task like
-if app launched
-wait .... Seconds
-Click on the search player area (using auto input plugin)
-again wait ... Seconds
-click on search player
Repeat the above loop

Hi, I started working again how you told me and everything is fine, but when I click on SEARCH PLAYER then OK / ACCEPT does not lead me to TASKER but to AUTOINPUT and see what happens when I enter AUTOINPUT afterwards. I do not know what I have to choose. I clicked on FIELD TYPE type. I did everything you said, but what should I choose when I returned the tasker?

Repeat the loop (after a 10 seconds waiting action from the automatic action i.e.from)
Done
What to do again, what to choose from these options in the window, it seems to me that I did not do nice and did not start SEARCH PLAYER, when I finish everything in the lower left corner of the PLAY icon do I have to click on it?
Here's a picture from GO-TO , where confused me what I need to choose
And on notification shows me no active profiles and look what shows more, and it is profile good?

In this case, action number coresponds to 1 i.e.1 is the wait 10 seconds action
In the below video you have wrongly selected the autoinput action
You should click on add only at 2:48 i.e. when the search player option appears
You clicked even before starting the game (at the at the menu button on home screen)

I understand, I'm going to make a mistake, so I need to enter number 1? for GOTO?
And what should I choose from the drop-down menu in the task / goto?
You say that I only need to click on SEARCH PLAYER once?
Select add option in notification
Click on search player
Click on OK in notification
When the game ends, then I have to click first on ADD then SEARCH PLAYER and then OK? is that right?
This confuse me
I understand, after finishing the game, DO NOT MAKE CLICK ON SERACH PLAYER, only on OK / ADD?
If I'm no longer boring, I think I understand if this goes like this: after autoinput / easy setup / I first select the application and then click on ADD?
And I think I'm mistaken for adjusting the goto, I do not think I set a good setting.
I'd like to ask you once more to explain to me.
When I finish the profile, I click on the play icon, but again shows No active profiles
Thanks so much , very much thanks .
