How to Change Recommended Apps (Docking)

[noisemakerrc]

I have been using the iBolt xprodock with my S4 from the beginning, last Spring. When plugged into the car dock, a line in the information page of the notification bar was added named "Recommended Application (Docking)". At first, it was populated with some apps that I never use, but after a day or two it would gradually change to my most used applications. Everytime there was an update to the OS, I'd go through this process again, and after a day or two, all would be fine. However, with the KitKat upgrade, it no longer is changing to the applications I use (need) most when my phone is in the car dock. Does anyone know how to edit which applications are in that list (not rooted)? Thanks.

If the app uses the external SD card for storage, that could be the problem (since it doesn't own the folder the data is in, it can't make changes to it [or even red it]).

I'd try clearing the app's data and uninstalling it and turning the phone off. Then put the SD card into a card reader, plug it into the computer and deleting the app's folder. Then turn the phone back on and reinstall the app. When it creates the folder, it will own it, and it will be able to use it.

I suspect that this is part of the OS, not an app. It's been there with all the previous versions of the OS, nothing I've added, whether I was using Touch Wiz or Nova Launcher. Any other ideas? Thanks.
