in android 4.1/4.2 etc etc its called "media storage" (the one you clear the defaults of)

ya i did just actually go through the whole list and pick it out of ALL of them .. and OMFG IT WORKED ..

hey, sorry im late, but, people seem to be clicking these defaults and not knowing how to clear them (like me) then they go and search for it and nobody knows ..

im actually kind of thankful that it wasnt something more difficult to find, so .. there you go . . "media storage" on samsung galaxy s2 android 4.1


For those that have Samsung 8 the place to reset the default apps is Settings|Apps|App Manager| Go to the Three dots on top right and from the pull-down select Reset app preferences
