comment How can I control a list of applications in “Share” pop up in Android built in browser?
UPDATE: I used this app for several months now and am VERY VERY happy with it. It's a bit slow to start the app on my DroidX, but seeing how even Zeam Launcher is slow there, it's more likely due to crappy old hardware and bloated Motoblur than the app itself.

As a note: this is Verizon Droid X, with stock Froyo 2.2 ROM and latest version (updated 3/3/2013) of Amazon Market app.

Does it disable all the associated services? (GM and Latitude etc...)?

Did you read the question carefully? It explicitly states: Second, the only practical way of doing that that I know of is Autostarts app which is NOT a workable solution - it takes ~5-10 mins to find and re-enable all the intents I am aware of (Autostarts is really poor at per-app intent management - it's centered on per-intent), never mind possible intents that Autostarts does NOT know about (it's a black box, I don't know which intents are missed if any.

Actually, I found Andmade Share recently (well after posting this question). While it's a nice idea and I love the app, on my fairly old DroidX, the app usually takes ~2-5 seconds to launch for whatever reason. Built-in share menu usually takes at most a second. There are benefits to not relying on an external app, evidently :)

comment Why does Moon Reader not show up in 8 last apps list?
@Izzy - If it's not some setting explicitly done by the app, it's probably not worth bothering him :) I'm hoping to rock newer hardware soon, will re-raise if the issue disappears
