Instead of removing the default app, you can put an intent filter inside your manifest with the DEFAULT category that will cause android to consider your app as a possible choice for executing a certain intent. The way it works is if there is more than one possibility, it gives the user the choice between the apps, and he can also choose to make it default so the choice does not pop up in the future.
Just figure out what intent is used to run the app you want to overwrite (so to speak) and you're set.
