Customise Sharing Menu (Reduce number of options)

[ercousin]

One thing that bugged me with ICS was that when ever you hit the share button (in an app) there would be 20+ apps to choose from and I think I only ever used less than 5 of them.

For example I have: Add to Pocket, baconreader, Bluetooth, Box, clipboard share (copy), Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, Facebook, Flipboard, Gmail, Google+, iMediashare Lite, Linkedin, Messaging, FB Messenger, Notes, Send Email, Share via Barcode, Skype, Submit Link (Reddit News), Tasks Free, Translate, Twitter.

There must be some way to reduce this?!

I'm hoping this might have been fixed in Jelly Bean...

I agree, having a method to select which applications appear in the Share With list would be great. Although it typically organizes the list by frequency of use (how often you share things with that app), and some apps give a dedicated button for the most-used or most-recently-used application (see the stock Gallery), it would be nice to just cut it down to the five or so that I use, in the same way you mentioned.

on my GS3, the list shows up with about 5 apps with a 'more' link which hides the other apps i might not want to see and the displayed 5 apps are organized by frequency of use

not sure any major change is necessary beyond that cos it leaves you with the option of quickly using an app you've not used in a long time with little hassles

I agree, a simple "more" button and your top few most used methods showing would be the way to go.

I also think "more" is best solution for that, shearing is part of action intents which goes far beyond shearing, selective way of choosing might be over complicated.
