It's "edge" cases like this that make me glad to be on android. There has been a workaround for this with where you can customize the menu by redirecting all share intents to a specific app. There are cases where apps don't use the standard api for share intents, but in most cases this app works as expected. I agree Android should have a built in function that provides this level of customization at the OS level. Google should also provide a uniform experience with all apps however I don't mind the fragmentation because it merely a side effect of backwards compatability. Specifically with Youtube, Google shows that they have share intents in mind and are simply experimenting ways to increase user engagement. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesof... ----- I am not the author nor affiliated with the app in any way.

This is a fantastic idea and I love you for it. However, is there a more modern app like this? The one you linked seems abandoned, the screenshots are from Android 3. I would pay money for a good share adapter.

  Fliktu is another one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oakstar.fliktu&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oakstar.fl... Andmade Share is a wee bit more configurable, tho. For example, Firefox adds two share targets for some reason: "Firefox" and "Add to Firefox". With Andmade Share I can enable only one of them; with Fliktu, it's either both or none as you can hide an entire app from the share menu but not just some of its static "sub-targets". That being said, I prefer Fliktu.

    I just discovered this from Reddit and yes, I agree with you. Fliktu looks and works much better, even if some functionality is missing. Thanks!

There are better options if rooted, but Andmade is pretty darn good if you're not. It does feel antiquated though.

  Please share the other options. I gave up on andmade a while ago because the UI badly needs a face lift.

    I can't remember the specific name, but it was within the XPosed framework (which I don't know whether is still supported, I'm out of the loop).

Another app for replacing the share menu is "AppChooser", though unfortunately it hasn't been updated since 2012. But it still works for me, at least on Android 6.

It doesn't need customization, it just needs to increment a counter for each intent's use and sort the pane by usage. I have no idea what algorithm they've been using to sort it, but it's not a good one.
