Hi all,
I've seen some great custom DHD's in this forum, and would like to change the dock on my plain HD, but I don't like launcher pro (just couldn't get on with it, dunno why)
Is there a way to either a) modify the default sense one or b) install a custom one with preferably 5 user-defined buttons?
TIA chaps.

Have you tried adwlauncher? I don't think its possible to change the launcher if you're not rooted or using an app

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look.
does using custom dock require the phone to be rooted 1st?

Nope.....
Either use alternate launchers or you will have to root it.

Ok, I have noticed on some alternative launchers (like launcher pro for example) if you drag an icon onto the "desktop" from the app drawer and hold it on top of the trash for a few seconds, it will prompt you to uninstall the app.....
Is there any way of getting this implemented into some of the custom roms around here? or is there something I could install as an "update.zip" to acquire this ability? I like the stock sense launcher so I don't really want to install and alternative launcher for this.....surely there is a way!

does it do what I requested? I've never heard of it....I'll have to look into it, thanks!
It's an app you click into it lists all installed apps so you can uninstall easily its not the same thing but its easier uninstalls

I'll pass then....if I'm gonna do that then I'll just go into the built in manager apps and uninstall it.
Thanks anyway!
Like I said, it is a feature that I like about launcher pro, but I don't want to install a different launcher JUST for that feature. Oh well, I'll just deal with the normal process!
So I saw a video on YouTube on how to disable HTC Sense and use the default stock launcher, however that device was running 2.1 and so it won't work on my device...
I was just wondering is there anyway to disable sense without installing a separate ROM on 2.2, thanks.

I think the only way is with a new rom
You can't turn in off, as you can't install Sense on a non-sense rom.
However, you can install a different launcher, i think the gingerbread stock launher is on the market.
Because HTC Sense is built onto the Android interface, shouldn't closing HTC Sense enable the stock launcher? All HTC did was take the 2.1 nexus Rom and write Sense into it, they never removed a thing so surely there is a way?

Ahh thanks, they should give people a choice between Sense and the Stock Launcher. Fair do's people should just get the Nexus if that's what they are looking for, but the Nexus in the UK was only available on one network, and I for one completely prefer the standard Launcher, HTC Sense 1.0 (Desire Version) is very buggy and laggy.
It surprise me that you know how HTC made Sense and at the same time you don't even know what it is.
Like mentioned by Surfy89, Sense is way more then the htc launcer (rosie). If you want to get rid of Sense you need to flash a alternative rom (AOSP).
If you are talking about using a different launcher then the sense launcher (rosie), you can just install a alternative launcher from the market. So you do have the choice to use whatever launcher you want. Al tough the sense widgets won't work with a alternative launcher.

This is the video I saw: YouTube
I got the wrong info, sorry for wasting time
Even the comments under the video are saying it's an old feature.
Either install different launcher from the market (Launcher Pro, Zeam, Go Launcher ... plenty of them) or root and flash a custom AOSP rom. That's the way to go.

Watched the video on my mobile, and didn't see the comments for this reason, would just like to say thankyou for everyone that has corrected my wrongs I now have Oxygen 2.0.
Couple of q's
How do I get just an individual wallpaper for my lock screen rather than my normal wallpaper??
There's also a screenshot of someone's phone where there app icons are words,I know I change them as I figured that out in a different thread, is there a package for the word icons?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It is known that Sense UI doesn't allow custom lockscreen as it only provides the downloadable package from the HTC server.
The same thing applies to the stock launcher as well. You can't change the icon into words - unless you use third party app launcher and lockscreen such as Launcher Pro and WidgetLocker. By using this app, you can change anything you want, including what you have mentioned just now.
Both apps are available on the Market in free or paid edition.

You can do that on Sense 3.5 (in the personalize menu). I can't remember whether that option was there in 3.0 or below, so it might depend on what ROM you're using at the minute.
Thanks for the replys, sorted wallpaper now onto the widgets,thanks to All

Nope. If you want to change icons without rooting you'll need alternative launcher like Apex, ADW, GO or Nova (which I prefer the most). All of them are free (but you can buy full version with few features added). Check them out on Google Play.
Yes you can... Get Desktop Visualizer from Play store... And you can put your custom icons for anything......

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to somehow change the stock lockscreen? I really want the lockscreen from cm, but as I understand it it only possible to change actual lockscreens from Android 4.2 and up.... Is there some way to replace it on stock rom anyway though?

Of course it is. Even without root, there are some apps like Widgetlocker or GO Locker, and also when You install some custom launcher like MIUI You get their lockscreen.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jiubang.goscreenlock
For me widgetlocker works best of all.

Thanks for that, ive tried those kind of apps. But they dont actually replace the lg lock screen, but seem to override it instead. I specifically want to change to the cm lockscreen, since it is my absolute favorite:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...mctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=125984910
Something like this, but it is not possible to change unless your on android 4.2 or higher....
If i'm not mistaken, ROM prior to 4.2 can't have widget in the lock screen.
unless you flash it to 4.2, you won't get the same feature.
Try this new app, i am sure you will love it
