Tips / / December 19, 2019
Google has worked very well over the functional Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, as well as over the appearance and system, and programs. However, this does not prevent manufacturers of smartphones and tablets with maniacal persistence "dopilivat" system seriously by changing various aspects of it. If we talk about setting by the user, there is Android seems to be one of the most flexible (if not the most flexible) mobile systems.
The attached material will be of interest to those who recently met with Android, specifically the version 4.0. will consider ways to Example Highscreen Alpha GT, which has an uncharacteristic dvuhsimnyh apparatuses good characteristics and current system version Google. Enjoying the same system for a long time, we recall that the process of the default installation and management of programs has remained unchanged since the days of Android 2.3.
So we read tips on choosing a powerful video player, viewer, PDF, SMS manager and any other programs. Next went to Google Play or the downloaded installation APK-file on the site such as 4PDA. How to make the default, our program has been used for a certain action? For example, take the viewer PDF files. So, we already have the Adobe Reader, but I would like not removing this design, just open files using PDF Reader program.
The method first banal. Run File Manager and "tapa" to the desired log. Since Adobe Reader appeared "rival", we will see a pop-up window with the caption "What use?" (Or even a similar, there may be variants) and choice of programs to open the file.
If we want to on a regular basis to bind to PDF, you must first put the bottom of the mark against the item "by default for this action" and specify the PDF Reader. All with minimal effort the new default PDF viewer is given.
The second way, payment for inattention. For example, the program selection screen appears, we checked the box, but the accident did not specify PDF Reader, and Adobe Reader. Frustrated early, we will correct the error. We call the system select "Settings" (hopefully not need to explain how to find it), "Applications" and click on the Adobe Reader to display the settings of the program. Scroll down to the heading "Launch by default". Here we see the item "Clear defaults".
Press and thereby reset the snap to PDF files. Now when you try to open a PDF magazine we again will offer a list of programs, where we choose the PDF Reader. Profit.
particular. I note that in the list of installed Android application gives a full list of system programs, so problems should not arise as in choosing a viewer PDF, as well as the replacement of the gallery, "dialer" or launcher. The first private moment - dialer and contact management. It is the default setting is to start automatically instead of the default application when an incoming call. However, sorry for the trivial, if you need to dial a number, you need to manually Tapan was an icon of alternative applications. Therefore, simply drag it to the shortcut on the desktop or replace their standard program icon on the bottom of the desktop.
another particularity - replacement of a standard keyboard. After installing the new keyboard go to "Settings", "Language and Input", activate the check mark in front of it and click above to select the default keypad button.
Another way - to enter text at the top of the screen by sliding downwards call option "Select input method". As you can see, nothing complicated.
at last I will say that on the Google Play naturally not without special program management managers by default. As an example we mention the free Default App Manager Lite. This program provides a list of popular browser-type tasks, camera, music, and others, immediately show the currently selected application. On the touch points we get a list of available actions for programs, then a) easy / relaxed click «Clear Defaults» b) remove a tick with a friend in the window item "Clear defaults" in), click the backspace key to the previous screen g) click «Set Defaults» d) note, "The default for this action" and select the desired program.
The very foundation we have studied you, if you have questions - write in the comments, we will investigate.
