Hi guys
Any idea how to force cloned apps to open links in default browser (which is set to Chrome). Currently they are opening links in Oppo Browser.
Normal apps (not cloned) open links in Chrome.
Chrome is set as default browser in settings but is seems like cloned apps ignore this.

Hello Guys,
I have not really posted much on here, but i could not find, under the Experia Z1 device, about the Locked Book Marks that Bell Canada sets up in the devices on Chrome Browser. ( If this is not in the correct section, please do move it )
My Question: Is there any way to delete the "pre-installed" Book Marks that the provider installs.
Its just like the Bloatware that Bell installs on their Android devices, but in this case, the pre-install Google Chrome browser has "pre-installed" bookmarks that i would like to remove.
I never had these on my Google account till i got this new Phone yesterday. I can long press any bookmark folders and delete them, but this "Chrome bookmarks" folder i cannot remove. It also does not sync with my Google Chrome browser on my PC that is linked to my Google account. So i cannot manage that "folder" from my PC.
So, from what i can see, i cannot find a way to remove them.
I have added a screen shot showing the "folder" that i am speaking of if anyone wonders what im talking about.
The bottom folder, "Chrome bookmarks" is the bookmarks I cannot remove.
Anyone have options for this or ideas to remove the?
Wow... For mine I have a bunch of Sony bookmarks - also cannot be removed. Custom bookmarks that I added can be deleted (Long Press). Tried the same thing on the Sony ones and the option to delete is absent from the menu...
I was going to suggest deleting them from the Chrome Browser if your Desktop is synced up, (Other Bookmarks -> Mobile Bookmarks) - but I guess they don't show up there either.. The Sony ones don't...
Yes, any custom book marks i can modify and delete from my phone or my google account on chrome browser on the PC. but those "Bell" added favorites are not modified able at all or delete-able.
Its just annoying that every time i open the google browser app, all i see are those Fav's that are not mine!
If anyone could find a way, it would be helpful.
( I have tried apps to remove fav's, but does do not work at all. those Fav's stay there anyway )

Found a potential fix - I have now removed the Sony bookmarks by disabling the app listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284418
and Asus version here (same procedure)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856425
Then I cleared the cache from Chrome and rebooted the phone.

Thanks. This did the trick!
Downloaded application, consisting of XHTML files with Javascript, to SDCARD. Chrome runs application just fine except will not allow Javascript to create cookies. This is a much discussed "security measure". Google's only suggestion is to start chrome with option "--enable-file-cookies". How can this option be set for Chrome startup on Droid Turbo? Thanks.
[As new user cannot post this in development forum. Also, tried to post link to above discussion but that is not allowed for new users either.]
Update: discovered that not only does Google Chrome refuse to save cookies for "file:///" sourced web pages, Google Chrome also refuses to permit geo-location for "file:///" sourced web pages. Installed Mozilla FireFox on Droid Turbo, end of problem.
I'm an advance computer user, but completely new to tablets/mobile stuff. Got a Amazon Fire 7 gen7. Read some threads and got Google Play and Nova Launcher as default from This Post. But I still have several questions. In no particular order:
Are any of the preinstalled Amazon applications useful or are the all purely bloatware?
What are actual Amazon applications and not stupid applications of "here is how you get to use this application"? Similar to old PC "this is how you register for a free trial of CompuServe Internet". E.g. what to keep from "Kindle", "Books", and "Kindle Store"?
I am using a 4GB mSD card. Already when to Settings -> Storage -> Move everything to SD card. Amazon Storage has be at about 90% capacity. CCleaner has me at about 70%. ES File Manager has 98%. All of these measurement are for the System disk space no SD. Which should I trust? What is the reason for the descrepancy?
Is CCleaner [android] as useful as it is for PC?
Is is actually worth or advisable to link an amazon account with the Tablet? (See below).
In order to run FireFox (for uBlock Origin) I had to download the APK and install it manual. Google play would say that it was incompatible with my device. The table would just send me to the amazon store. Is there any way to prevent my tablet from Prioritizing the Amazon store?
I would like to watch Youtube very easily on this tablet. Chrome doesn't have an adblocker. Firefox has add blocker but you must manual set the page to Desktop view (instead of the mobile site) for Full Screen view. Is there any best/simple way or application to watch Youtube?
When I use the Novus Google Search Bar widget it defaults to the Silk Browser. How do I make other browsers the default?
Are there any tutorials or orientations on using the Nova Launcher?
Sometimes when I play games, tapping in the corner of the screen brings up a hot/quick app launcher thingie from Nova. What is the actually command/gesture for this? How may I change its settings to avoid interruptions while playing a game?
What are some standard always recommended (non-game) applications for tablets E.g. Es File Manager.
Since I had to manual install these APKs to get the Google Play store, are they automatically updated by GooglePlay? I tried using the newer versions of them but got installation discrepancies.
Hello,
My idea is to open firefox klar when I press a link in reddit mobile application but open chrome if I press a link in every other app. Problem is that there still are the custom taps so even if set (for testing purposes) the default browser to firefox klar reddit opens me a chrome custom tap... I'd also like to keep the custom taps for every other app. So to conclude I want to achieve the following:
pressing links in Reddit -> firefox klar is used to open them
open links in any other app -> chrome or the chrome custom taps are used
Thanks in advance for any help

I think this isn't so straight forward since Google doesn't want apps manipulating defaults.
My suggested approach would be to disable all apps, except Firefox in the case described, which are registered as handling urls. These are the apps that would show up in the pick list when no app is set as default browser. This could be done on a rooted, SELinux Permissive device using Tasker's run shell using the ADB command "pm" (package manager).
To "hide" chrome for example:
pm hide com.chrome.beta
So when Reddit is launched, hide everything so the only available option to launch the URL is Firefox.
Now the exit task needs to restore what ever you hid, so to re-enable chrome:
pm unhide com.chrome.beta

Need help. How can I force my Note9 to open certain files in the default app, and also, certain links in their respective apps?
Few examples. I try to open an image, phone asks me in which app I want to see this image, I choose an app, set it to open always with that app; nothing happenes, it asks me again, every time, for the image of same format.
I'm in YouTube app, there's another YT link in the description, I press on the link, I'm in already in YT app but system decides that I should watch this video in browser instead. Same goes for PlayStore links, instead of PlayStore app, link will open in webview; so ****ing frustrating. Same things for Medium, Reddit, and many other links, I think only Quora and Twitter links open in their respective apps.
I checked in Settings -> APPS -> Default APPs, nothing really to change here, all I can see here is that certain apps are set as default for something, and when I choose an app, all I can do is clear defaults.
I've also checked in per app settings, "Go to supported URLs" and "Supported web addresses", everything is set as it should be.
Go to application settings and find your app then looks for set as default... good luck
