Default Default App Selector

Hey guys, question regarding setting a specific app as the default. I have removed the 'Sound Recorder' app as it's a horrible sound recorder for our phone. I have the paid version of Hi-Q MP3 Recorder, and I wanted to know how I might be able to set this app as the default app for recording. So if I open a separate app that is able to record things, how can I make it open up Hi-Q to start recording things?

That's the thing, it doesn't ask and I don't have any other voice recorders installed that I know of. I have Google Music, Double Twist, and I think that's about it, but neither of them are able to record anything. When trying to do it through the other app, it just force closes as it's not able to open anything up. I sent a message to the dev to see if they can add a way to change the default recorder.

I just wanted to know if there was an app or anything where I could choose a default app for a specific action.

You can try using Default App Manager. If you can't find the specific app under Settings > Applications, then that's probably your best bet.

On a similiar subject how do you get the default wallpaper back other than data wipe? Will that app do that too?

That's a good question, I would be curious to see as well.

It must be data for something because wiping data restores it. It is not launcher data because I get the same wallpaper across different launchers.

Just installed it, but doesn't look like the option for 'recording' is there. The only audio related option is playback. Looks like a good app, but not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestion.

You could go into system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable and find default_wallpaper.jpg and save it to your SD card. Other than that, I don't know of any apps that would specifically revert it back. Time to search.

Do you have a current app that voice recording is being pushed to? Or is it just not opening anything when you use a function that should open something?

The data for changing the wallpaper has to be somewhere. I know how to do it the hard way. I made the ROM. I just want to be able to tell The People "to see or get back to the default wallpaper wipe data in xxxxxxxxxx"
