Is there an easy way to set defaults on this device? I'm trying to set the particular default in an app to use LocalCast, but it seems the usual "Always" and "This time Only" options are missing. Is there another way to do this or are those settings particular to an app?

for those who are familiar, please help....I can't for the life of me figure out how to change my location! Nor could I find an answer on here. When I originally set it up, I chose my location and left the automatic update UNCHECKED. I couldn't find any setting menu or option to change this so as of right now the only way I know of is to uninstal/reinstall the app and start from scratch...but there has to be another way right??
I had a similar problem. The solution that I found is to remove the widget and set it again , weather configuration window is up and you can change your location. However, it is not very satisfactory solution, but better than reinstalling the entire application.
I'm using WidgetLocker and the stock lockscreen just keeps popping up. I couldnt find an app named lockscreen or anything like that with Titanium Backup and i didnt want to start disabling stuff at random. So does anyone have any idea how to disable the stock lockscreen or if its possible to somehow permanently replace it with WidgetLocker
Guess someone should post his WidgetLocker settings and turn that thread into a sticky, so many people having problems with WidgetLocker and default lockscreen. I use easy wake-up mode in WidgetLocker and Samsung's lockscreen is deactivated. If you don't wanna use easy-wake mode, go to advanced settings in WidgetLocker and select "disable stock lockscreen"
Sorry, my config is in french, so I can translate but not sure this is the same name entry.
I have no such trouble with widgetlocket and default screenlocker. Even if, from time to time, the defaut one can appear but not really often.
The only thing to set is the behavior section : set active from boot.
And set Activated widgetlocker in the main settings menu.
Nothing else
I installed a new ROM (neutrino 2.5), I noticed now when I install an application now, at the top it gives me a notification, "tab here to configure privacy settings" (not verbatim). So I can go into an individual app and modify the settings. This is all fine and dandy but I have no idea how to get back to this menu once I modify the settings. Its a rom based on CM7 and I looked all over in the menus to find out where I can go back into the application and change the privacy settings, after I configured them on the initial install from the notification link. I locked some apps down too much and now they don't function properly.
Go to your apps and open pdroid
How do I set an app to open by default (soundcloud) when I click a link in chrome? I know how to clear the default setting in app settings, but I cant seem to figure out how to set it?
can't enable "always on" VPN for OpenVPN in EMUI (but works for other vendors UIs)
In Android 8, 3rd party VPN apps can use the new APIs to show up in Androids VPN list and also offer settings like "always on VPN".
I'm using "OpenVPN for Android". On my LG phone with Android 8 it shows up in that list just as a native VPN and I can edit it by clicking the gear icon on that entry in the list. There I can enable the "always on" feature.
But in EMUI, in that same VPN list, the gear icon is only shown for native VPNs. For my OpenVPN entry, theres an arrow icon instead. By clicking, it enters the OpenVPN app instead of showing an Android settings screen. Inside the OpenVPN app I can't do that system setting for "always on", I think that an app cannot set this setting, it must be done by the user in the Androidsettings.
Am I too stupid or did Huawei implemented the settings screens so strange that it is just not possible to access the needed screen?
Are there apps that let you change Android settings instead of using the proprietary setting pages from LG, Huawei, etc?

You can use Nova Launcher, as shown here:

You could also try installing Settings Database Editor which allows you to manually alter the settings database.

Nova Launcher is just for Homescreen (I'm already using it across all devices) but the Settings keep proprietary (or do I miss some settings of Nova?)
But thank you for the hint to Settings Database Editor, I was able to copy the 2 necessary lines from my LG phone.
For anyone interested in this, the settings are in "Secure Table":
"always_on_vpn_app" -> "de.blinkt.openvpn" (adjust if using another client)
"always_on_vpn_lockdown" -> "1"
But it only takes effect after a reboot. It doesn't matter much for me but what would I need to do after adding those system settings to apply the change? Is there some process to restart or a way to reload the config?
