Changing default apps,including browser/sms/etc is it possible ?

[auminous]

I read in a review that this isn't possible to change defaults for some important apps, in redmi 3. Is that true or not ?

In installed apps there is a defaults button. You can set...
Launcher
Dial
Messaging
Browser
Camera
Gallery
Music
Email
Video

No option to change the app store sadly. Think we'll need a global rom to remove the Chinese one and have Google play installed. I think if you root and then freeze the Chinese app store it has the same affect.
But removing the Chinese app store atm sends the phone into a boot loop.

I tested freezing the default app store with root permissions and I got bootloops as well.

So my advice is you live the app store alone. And wait for global ROM ?

I didn't experience bootloop when I froze the Chinese app store. I'm on stock ROM, rooted with King root and froze it without a problem. I was annoyed because Chinese app store opened up when I clicked on Google Play store links.

I flashed this ROM with MiFlash : http://en.miui.com/thread-228503-1-1.html.
No problems when freezing apps with titanium. (browser,file manager,video etc.)
I just have some issues with nova launcher. Sometimes it switches back to default launcher. And with nova i cant view some settings like system info or wifi.

I was on stock 7.1.1.0 and rooted it. Then I installed AppFreezer and froze app called App Store with orange Mi logo. After restart, phone asked me which app to use when I clicked on Google Playstore link.

I also rooted but I don't know if I'm using stock rom, do you know how to get this info ?
Did you freeze also other bloatware such as Mi Wallet, Mi Cloud, Mi Video... ?

 

[slackovic]

No. I uninstalled apps that could be uninstalled. Others that I can't uninstall I didn't freeze. I just disabled them to autostart.

When i received my Redmi 3, the webshop already flashed a multilanguage rom and installed playstore for me.
MIUI version would show this : MIUI 77.! Stable 77.1.1.0 (LHPCNCK)
Its not stock.

With titanium i did freeze alot of Mi apps. No problems.
