recently, when I press the menu button i always get asked:
complete action using:
htc sense
orange homescreen
there's a tickbox for `use by default for this action` which i tick then choose sense, but it's not persistant. how do i make it always use sense and never ask me ever again!
Install Home Switcher from the marketplace and set HTC Sense as default.
or
uninstall Orange Homescreen if you don't need it?

Hi, can anybody suggest me a screen rotating application where I can choose the applications & also things like dialer, lock screen, email, messaging etc. manually, that I want to rotate.
And before any1 asks me to use changescreen, I have already used it, but the interface is really poor. Can't understand a damn thing on how to choose specific applications & utilities to rotate...
I use MobileMagic to rotate the screen and launch applications via rotation of the screen ...
you find here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2948939&postcount=1
to add applications in change screen
then proceed as follows:
Press on "show name apps"
opens a dialog box and press ok
on each application that you open up the name of it, choose an application, go changescreen, press on "stop", press on "exception", press to top on "add"
and the string that appears check the program name you've seen before ...
forgive me for my bad English ..
I hope that I explained the best possible
If you are using new manila V2.0 or V2.1 you already have a build in screen rotating program just need to add programs to the white list
G-Config
in other hand I use Change Screen very nice and stable application

Hey all,
I've been guest reading xda developers for a couple of years and decided after getting an Android based phone (DHD) I should sign up.
After using my DHD for a week I decided to move from the horrible default ROM (Vodafone AU) to a custom ROM (LeeDrOiD).
After working out how to root the phone and install the ROM via ROMManager, everything was great!
One thing I really loved when I loaded on LeeDrOiD was the whole theme had changed - instead of the 3 buttons at the bottom of my phone screen (The up arrow, phone and personalise) I now had 3 buttons in the middle - an image of a phone, 9 small squares made into one (list apps) and another (don't remember what that was).
Upon opening my app list, they all listed in a "3D" manner - you could see the tops of the icons on the next row, and when you scrolled down it was as though they were rolling up.
Unfortunately today I realised that when I set up the phone I used my Google Apps account instead of my normal Google/GMail account. This seemed irreversible without factory resetting the phone.
So I backed up all my apps, made sure all the data on my SD card was safe, and wiped and reinstalled LeeDrOiD on my phone.
Unfortunately now it is on a more default looking setup, with a rounded bottom area and the default options. The icons now just move in a normal fashion when scrolling through them.
So I ask this forum - how can I restore the cool theme/skin that I had?
My apologies if I've used any incorrect terminology - please feel free to correct me, as I'm still learning!
Cheers!
Update:
Apparently what I'm looking for is called "3D Drawer":

I understand I need to disable HTC sense to do this (and presumably to have the menu on the home screen I was talking about). This is now making a lot of sense to me, as I remember I wasn't able to use the HTC widgets (which was fine by me).
If someone can point me in the right direction of this, it'd be very appreciated .
Update #2
I've worked it out! For anyone who's trying to work it out in the future:
1) Open Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All
2) Choose "HTC Sense" (it'll be the one with the picture of the weather/time widget on it - there may be 2)
3) Scroll to "Launch by default"
4) Click "Clear defaults"
5) Hit your "Home" button
6) You should see a popup asking what to open this with - choose "Launcher" and tick the default option
Anyway, feel free to close this thread - thanks for giving me somewhere to think out loud xda-developers .
Two issues with this rom:
A) can't get home switcher to stay loaded so that I can switch to Launcher Pro. Is there anyway around this?
B) Is there any way to get rid of the HTC embedded mod keyboard and use Swift Key? There is no setting under KEYBOARD which allows you to choose which keyboard to use?
Thanks, in Advance....

A) Ok do this presss menu>settings>applications>manage applications>press the "All" tab>Scroll down to HTC Sense and tap it> scroll down and select "clear defaults"> now from the Home button on your phone(looks like a house)>A Complete Action Using window should appear> Check the "Use by default for this action" button>then select launcher pro......Laucher pro should be your default launcher now.
B) under settings>Language & Keyboard. Check the box next to all the keyboards to enable them. now open a text or something where you need to type. tap & hold in the text field until the "Edit Text" window appears then select Input Method and then pick your poison....DONE.
Hope that answers your questions bud.

it will give you the option of selecting one of the launchers as a default
so when it gives you the option, check the box where it says make default and then select the launcher you like

There is an app in the Market called "Home Switcher for Froyo" (make sure you use the one that states it is for Froyo as it is also Gingerbread compatible and the earlier version IS NOT).
Download and Install this app and when you press the home key next time make sure you click the check box that states "make this your default home screen" and that menu will go away.
If you want to use any other launcher you have installed later on then go to the app "Home Switcher", click on it and you can then launch whichever launcher you want to use from the app itself.
Hope that makes sense to you. Welcome to the land of the FREE and the home of the CUSTOMIZABLE!!!
Sense 4.0 Launcher Pro Theme
Hey everyone!
AdA here with the promised Sense 4.0 Launcher Pro layout.
*Features*
-authentic replica Sense 4.0 clock (Minus flip animation)
-HTC Icon set
-HTC Sense 4.0 Wallpaper
-(For those with Launcher pro plus) Dark Transparent sense look alike widgets
-Scrollable dockbar
And the best part is it works with any rom.
Rooted or unrooted? Doesnt matter!
This is in no way a Sense "port" just a themed version of Launcher pro!!! enough said.
Lets get down to business.
(1) First off download all 6 of these files to the root of your SD card.
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345437/launcherpro_backup.zip
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345438/Black_Sensus_4_Clock_Gnex.apk
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345441/HTC_HD_icons.zip
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345443/scene_wallpaper_htc_default.jpg
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345450/Sense_4_clock.apk
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345452/lunapic_133773859928208_2.png
(2) Extract the two Zip files with your choice of file manager program.(Do not change the directory just extract) I use ES File Explorer.
(3) Download Launcher Pro from the market and let it install. (If you want the transparent widgets seen in the pics you have to have Launcher Pro Plus)
(4) Press your HOME or HOUSE button to return to the Home screen. If launcher pro was installed then you should have been prompted to select a launcher when you pressed the home button. Choose Launcher Pro and set it as default.
(5)Now press your MENU button once you are at the HOME screen. (Generally on the far left at the bottom of most phones.) Select Preferences. Scroll to the bottom and select Restore Backup. Click yes or restart when prompted.
Halfway there!!!
(4) Navigate to the Root of your SD card with your file manager and select your choice of white or black Sense 4.0 Clock to install it. (You may have to select the unknown source option if prompted)
(5) Return to homescreen and hold press on the screen and select widgets. Select your Sense 4.0 widget you installed. You will have to resize it once its applied by hold pressing on it and to set up the weather and other settings go into your app drawer and select the Sense 4.0 clock you installed to set it up.
(6) Return to homescreen and hold press and select wallpaper. Choose gallery or whatever you use to select images and select the Sense 4.0 wallpaper I had you download.
(7) Now you are about done, you may have noticed that none of the icons work on the dock bar. There are by default 5 icons to the dockbar. I have three of them in the middle using a 100% TRANSPARENT Icon that you downloaded with the rest of the files (lunapic_133773859928208_2.png now located at the ROOT of your SD card)
If you swipe the dockbar to the left you will see five grey plus signs. That is for your second page of icons if you so choose to set multiple pages up.
Go back to the first page of icons.
The first icon on your RIGHT (the message bubble) Hold press it.
It will bring up "Edit Dock shortcut"
This is where you are free to customize what you want where on your dock bar.
Select change shortcut
select applications
and select what app you want to go there I had messaging by default but this is your choice.
Then choose custom icon
It should take you into your defualt gallery app. Locate the Sense Icons I had you download and choose the corresponding icon with the app you chose.
Done. That is the process to set up your shortcuts on the dockbar.
(8) The phone button in the middle has 3 seperate 100% transparent icons. Hold press on each one and select the phone app as the shortcut application. When it asks you to select an icon go back to CUSTOM ICON and find the lunapic_133773859928208_2.png (it comes up as a black blank square on my E4GT in the Gallery) select it and it will make the icon disappear but you can still select the phone.
I used the transparent icons as an overlay over the Dock Background to make the dock theme work right and look good.
That should be about it.
Play with it, Tweak it, Redistribute it, Whatever... just enjoy it.
and dont forget to say thanks if you like it!!!
Enjoy,
Ada

That's not Sense 4 though. At least not by the screenshots in the first post.

It's not intended to be exact. Just a theme for launcher pro that will give you the feeling of sense without the ram usage that follows.
Keep it crispy, :highfive:
