Saw this over in the Evo Design forum, anyone know how to do this?? If so can you share?? How to restore the functionality the Apple v HTC war has taken away [root] | Android Central

Many ROMs have that fix now for the native app opener. Pretty easy fix, you just need root.

Your right i think most Roms here have that fix included even Mobster Rom V has it!

And for those that don't, you can do it yourself. There was a link, I think Leslie Ann probably has it.

Im not sure if this was the original poster but this Thread explains how to do it

Yeah that's the process I remember.

Hahaha I just first saw the link to the Native app opener because Harmonia had that fix first of all the ROMs I tried. I suggested it to Midnight, Midnight implemented it, and now Mobster's has it. The anti-Apple is spreading!

Silly Apple! Do they really think that this is going to sway people from Android or ruin HTC? They're just being spiteful now! Of course Android users will find a way around it

Sigh, Apple needs to go.

I actually just erased 3 lines of a profane rant against Apple that would have made George Carlin blush....

Anyway, I'm running ZR3DX currently and I just had to apply this fix. Thanks to Mobstergunz for the link to the fix at XDA. I didn't remove the APK per the instructions, just performed steps 2-5. I wasn't sure if I needed to remove the APK and .odex file or just the APK. Besides, I effectively neutered it, anyway.

Pre-fix: I will say that Dolphin opened links in their appropriate app, but Chrome did not.

Post-fix: My phone is now working as intended.

F'in' Apple, man.....
