Is it possible to change Hero Sense navigation panel ( the one which is in the bottom, like semicircle ) to one that Nexus has? Or even android standard one?
You can change to android stanard very very easy without doing any modification of your phone.
Go to your apps list and select "htc sense" or "touch flow" whichever is what you see and then click "clear defaults"
Then press the home button.
At this point it should give you an option to go home with either "home" or "touchflow" click home and you have default android. But will not have any of the htc specific stuff e.g. widgets.
You can always revert back by clearing defaults in "home" in app screen (assuming you set it as your new default)
do you mean from this to this? i to would like to no if this was possible i think it looks so much better

Yes it's possible to add the Nexus One style launcher. However, I believe it'll only work with 2.X roms.
THANKS TO: REVOKED
Download LAUNCHER2.APK
Then:
adb remount
adb push Launcher2.apk system/app
Voila!
If it doesn't work, rename it to Launcher, and it'll just wipe it over the top.
If you have any problems, let me know and I'll sign it as an update.zip for you.
BE WARNED THOUGH: Due to the demanding graphics, although it strangely runs MORE smoothly than the stock Android 2.1 launcher, it can on occasions cause your phone to SOFT reboot.
Happy to help!

Actually the modifications to Launcher2 to make it work on mdpi devices were done by me... Says so at the source posted by jnwhiteh .
couldn't install it on Modaco 3.2 Beta 5
Thanks for the Launcher2.apk. It's working wonderfully on my GSM Hero running KaguDroid 1.2.1.

No need for that, just copy to sd and install it with a file manager or with adb install from your hd.
To remove go to Settings:Applications and remove it from there.

No development until we can figure out what exactly is breaking and we can fix that... hopefully itll fix itself next month when we get HTC 2.1 framework.
I have been using it since yesterday afternoon with no problems (cept when I tried to use the Nexus One Live paper and got stuck in a reboot loop ) Awesome work man, now my phone feels like it has 2.1 on it!
as the title says it there anyway to have back the old appdrawer or enable fast scrolling on GB?
Yes as far as I am aware if you are rooted and have a custom recovery you should be able to flash a modded rosie. Are you rooted? If so what ROM are you using? The more info you have the more likely we can help.
yes im rooted and using arhd 5.1.4 now
I'm using 3rd party launcher - Go Launcher and it has the setting to choose continuous vertical scrolling
yup i know thats 3rd party launcher but i love the sense one ><

You could start by looking here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040&page=2870 it looks like some of the guys have created some modded Rosie .apk's. They may be able to point you in the right direction.
My choices of launcher :
-ADWLauncher EX
-Zeam Launcher
-LauncherPro Plus
Anybody knows how to make any of these as default one instead of TouchWiz? I mean that to uninstall the TouchWiz and replace it with the above launchers, totally.

Download Home Switcher from the Market, start it and set whatever launcher you want as default (I suggest Zeam because it's extremely lightweight).
Download Titanium Backup from the Market (requires root access), start it and uninstall TwLauncher.apk
each launcher will ''ask'' if it can be the default ...

When you press home button a dialog box does appear and ask you which you want.
Try out Nemus Launcher, its the fastest among others.

See, only thing you have to make sure is, when you delete TWlauncher, you have to have atleast one Launcher installed. Otherwise your phone might end in a bootloop or other problems occure.
You don't need necessarily a HomeSwitcher. Just go to Settings->Application->Manage Applications->All->select your current default launcher->clear defaults
Now if you hit the Home-Button it will ask you to choose the default launcher for the home-button. It will ask you once again if you restart which launcher to choose.

Hi..if u want a hardcore way,using a root explorer,just replace that touchwiz.apk(delete touchwiz) at /system/app..u can find ur user app in /data/app..in there,u will find ur installed launcher from market..before that,mount system to read/write instead of read/only..and after that reboot..
Or u also can do this.before u want to flash a particular rom..unzip the rom,do what I say with above way..re-zip and flash.
With This way,it give u more experience about how ur system works and lets u know more..and it teaching u...but don't be too optimistic for what u doing...it can mess up ur device if u don't know what are u doing..always be aware..
Its just my suggestions...

home switcher/manager
my suggestion is you can download any home launcher switcher/manager app from the Market, that way, it will be easy for you to switch to a different launcher if you grew tired of you default one.
first time you install a new launcher and you pressed the home button, it will ask you what default launcher you prefer.

So what is more reliable and safest? Method 1 or Method 2 eh?
I have tried Method 1 actually and screen blanks after rebooting except there is time, battery and signal level.

Can I just ask what you are trying to achieve here??
Is it just the Launcher?
or is it the TW integration in the ROM, as I don't think we have a ROM yet yet which entirely strips out the TW integration.......perhaps you are working on one??
If it is just the Launcher, you can just make whatever launcher you require default, by any of the methods explained above, my manual method, or the home launcher switcher.....
but TW Launcher is not stripped out here, you could freeze it with TB or Gemini.
I just think it is safer to wait for CM 7, which will not have any trace of TW!!!
Just a quote from Stack exchange:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...ove-touchwiz-and-revert-to-a-stock-ui-android
It's impossible to root out TouchWiz without modifying the Samsung source code to remove and replace it; it's heavily embedded in the OS. This would be a massive effort and I don't believe anyone's done it. The only alternative is a ROM built from stock in the first place, such as Cyanogen as Ryan mentioned.

I just wanna achieve the launcher actually. Hehe. I just don't like the TouchWiz, that's it. So i thought anyone knows how to remove it totally and integrate other launchers like Zeam, LauncherPro and more. But i think i just need to do the easiest way which is when i press home button, i'll set it as default and done. Thanks anyways! Sorry for my continuous questions, i just need confirmations.
Guys, i have done it. I used LauncherPro before. I went to 'manage applications' and selected LauncherPro and clicked 'clear defaults. Then i installed Launcher 7 and pressed 'set as default'. Then i uninstalled LauncherPro and reboot my phone. Voila! My launcher is now and ever the Launcher 7. Thanks guys for the superb tips with the details! Good day!

notifications wont work, lockscreen still the same
If you are nervous about rooting (or, in my case, can't because a custom recovery's not out yet for CDMA), and don't mind clogging up your storage with another ~20MB of stuff, you can just download an ICS imitation launcher from the Play store. Looks almost like the real thing.
For examples, search for "ICS launcher". If you want the lockscreen too, "Go Launcher EX"+"Go Locker"+"Go Locker ICS Locker theme"+"Home Manager"(for swapping ICS in place of Go Launcher) will do it, albeit at the cost of even more storage. Above combo runs pretty smooth on my phone, and the ability of the ICS launcher to customize home screen grid size, I must say, is a sweet feature.

Hello,
I have a KLD unit and I'm wondering is there any way - besides installing Android from another manufacturer - to get rid of the first screen that's blocked with the clock/weather widget (or should I say - app?)
I would like to delete the widget/app and free up the screen. The weather widget is terrible, doesn't even want to work properly under either 3G or WiFi. I have no use for it.

You should be able to root by using the *#hct#root# password when entering factory settings, install supersu and then update the binary the normal way and reboot = rooted stock firmware no flashing involved.

I use car launcher. Others use nova or next.

I agree with the other answeres.
Just root the device with the password *#hct#root#
After that the device will show a dialog if any app needs root access.
You will also find a new Superuser menu in settings menu.
For my device I am currently running the Next 3D launcher (it is not for free on Google Store)
But it looks really awesome with lots of effects / transitions / icons and so on that can be downloaded for free.
Starting to play around with your device you might also want to check out apps that help with memory management like APP2SD or Android Toolkit.
For advanced modding have a look at ROMS from Malaysk (new firmware) - then you will be able to do more or less everything with your device.
Have fun
André

Hi! I would like to keep original launcher but without stock clock and weather! What should I do when I install supersu??? Can you explain in more detail (P.S. I have rooted and updated my device MCU 2.64 KLD) Thanks!
Just install Nova launcher - that doesn't even require root.
Fully customisable and much quicker and lighter than the stock launchers.

The solution in my case was just to install a Malaysk ROM and be done with it.
Once you do that, you can select which launcher you use. You can use the NEXT launcher instead which is more versatile and then do the things you want with it.
