Nougat brought back app selector

[Rlin5741]

Just discovered that Nougat brought back the app selector that was missing since the S5 Lollipop builds. This is the setting where you can elect to have Android ask if you wanted to set a default each time it tries to open a file or link as to what app you want. I had been using Better Open With, which has some neat enhancements, but it's good to see this feature make it back into the OS.

You do need to activate it in the default app settings, it won't give you the "default app" prompts otherwise.

I had that on Marshmallow. They returned that on the June update for me.

Yeah this was brought back in marshmallow, you just had to clear any defaults you had set if you wanted it to ask.
