I installed launcherpro, deleted the settings of HTC sense, pressed home, checked the "remeber this setting" and chosed launcherpro, so it's the new default launcher.
However, after opening an application and returning to the home screen, it keeps asking me to chose between launcherpro and sense again.
With home switcher installed the same issue keeps happening. After a while it shows me there isn't a default launcher selected.
Does anyone know a solution? I'm getting really frustrated...
Bump!
I have the same problem..

I still haven't found a solution. I'm considering flashing a non-Sense ROM, but then again, I don't feel like going into flashing again (and again, and again)
So, if someone could help us out, please!
Ok here's the solution:
Flash your phone with Android Revolution HD 2.0.9 without Sense
A bit drastic, I admit. But holy crap that ROM is fast!

First, clear defaults from both HTC Sense and Launcher Pro (evt. clear cache or any other data). Then when prompted choose Launcher Pro as your default.
Alternately, you can try to freeze (not uninstall) HTC sense by using Titanium backup.
Hi Friends, I'm MohamaD from Iran. I'v this problem in my device since yesterday when I Installed Windows 7 Launcher. and I have found a solution for it by changing the Memory Card. If anyone knows another way to solve this please post it here. Whatever it is... it relevance to Memory card.
i've also face same problem..

really appreciate some guide/advice on this.

I'm debating going to launcher pro but was wondering a little something.
If I just change my default launcher to launcher pro, is sense then disabled or do I have to remove all the sense widgets from my current sense setup first??
I'd like to leave my setup as is and change over to launcher pro, in case i decide to go back to sense.
Thanks all!!
I haven't used Launcher Pro, but have gotten quite familiar with ADW.Launcher. In my experience, you don't have to do anything to Sense when you start using an alternate launcher. If you clear the defaults for your alternate launcher, you can pop right back into Sense and still have everything just the way you left it.
well i was wondering if i set LP as default, can i delete htc sense from phone? like the dock
You don't have to do anything with Sense. You can switch back and forth between the two (download Home Switcher in the market to easily switch back and forth). The only thing is Sense widgets only work with Sense (you can't add the Friendstream widget to one of your screens when using Launcherpro). The dock you see with Sense is different than the dock in Launcherpro.
Yeah, used to go from one to the other when I first started dealing with the different launchers. Can still have your regular "Sense" setup and switch between your "ADW" launcher (or even LPro for that matter). Pretty handy and quick. Just hit the home button when not checked as default. If you need that home button to display all screens at once, there are swipe functions for that.

If you are rooted you can delete /system/app/rosie.apk, but it wouldn't really provide any benefit. It doesn't start automatically and take up ram or anything.
Defaults wiped
I have tried this on a couple roms so far, same problem.
I have Fresh Evo running currently, with Launcher Pro as my choice for daily use.
Before it was Baked Snack.
Every time I reboot, or change battery, etc, I have to go through the default choice again. It won't save. I've checked through applications and once they're set all looks fine. I do know how to set them that way as well.
But once the phone has been cycled, I have to give the choice again at start and when exiting gmail or the first app I exit.
Anyone else know of this? Fix? Ideas?
I don't think it's a rom issue, which would be a lot easier to get an answer for.
Thanks.
I was just messing about with app inventor and had my phone plugged in to preview the app on. For some reason, now when I press "Home" to return to the home screen from any app it gives me the option of HTC Sense or Launcher. I tried Launcher and it's the standard Android one. I'm not sure how or why this has happened, and just wondered if it had happened to anyone else?
I'm usuing ReflextSense HD (I think version 1.4) if it makes any difference.
I always thought it was impossible to switch to the stock launcher on a sense rom? I have never installed any alternative launchers so I'm pretty sure this is the stock Android one which is sitting behind Sense.
EDIT: I just chose Sense as the default and that has stopped it coming up. Unfortunately neither HTC Sense or Launcher give the option to clear defaults in the Manage Applications sections so I guess you can't just switch around that way.
please forgive me if this sounds silly or has already been asked/answered. I have searched the forums but couldn't find anything related, maybe due to it being either a given or silly question.
What's the rule-of-thumb when it comes to running multiple launchers? If one is currently active, are the others running in the background? Should I be concerned with battery and memory resources?
I currently main Go Launcher EX, but have also purchased ADW Launcher EX (loved it on the Eris), and Launcher Pro Plus. All are installed... I switch between them occasionally, and tend to go back to Go Launcher EX.
Rom = Magnolia 1.3.2
no takers??
thanx anyway.
I'm not sure either, but I use titanium pro, and it lets you freeze the launchers or apps you aren't using, so they don't appear in the app drawer. When you want to use it again, just defrost it. Hope this helps.

Thanx for the advice! I'll use Bloat Freezer to disable the ones I'm not using!
I'm not positive but once you set one as your default launcher I'm pretty sure the others you have installed do not run in the background. So you shouldn't have to worry about battery life if you have more than 1 downloaded and installed. I am using Go EX now but I also have adw ex installed. Have you checked out the honeycomb theme for go launcher ex? I like it a lot.
I use LauncherPro and I know when I switch over to rosie every now and then, the HTC loading screen appears for a few seconds before showing my home screens, so it's not running in the background (at least not at any capacity worth noting). If you switch constantly without ever rebooting your phone it may be a different story.

awesome! Thanx for the replies! I've removed Launcher Pro and kept Go EX and ADW EX. At the moment, I haven't figured out how they're different, but like Go EX better because it doesn't do the 180 degree screen flip thingy. I remember ADW having an option of disabling that on my Eris, but I haven't been able to find it.
I am not familiar with Launcher.
If I have multiple launcher on my phone, do I able to switch between them from time to time?
Do I need root rights to do this?
I am using HTC sense and would like to try android default launcher or others.

Yup you can switch between them as often as you'd like no root permission are required.
Home switcher for froyo works great.

Hi All,
Ive been toying around with the launchers, and i think there real good, only thinng i cant get though, which i thought id ask on here to see if its me being dumb or just dont work.
When using a launcher, can you not use any of the HTC installed widgets? Like sense clock, or weather, i feel when i go to the launcher on my handset half of my widgets disappear, but when in stock home, they are all there...
Anyway i can work around this? I really want to use another launcher other than HTC stock, as i feel they are so much smarter, the only thing holding me back is these widgets issue.
The Launchers i have used are: Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, Zeam Launcher, and ADW Launcher. Any other launcher that might do the trick?
Thanks in Advanced.

I have kind of the same problem, when i`m using a launcher the mail box shortcut never refreshes the new mail indicator on any of the home screens that i`ve tried, and i`ve tried a lot. I would gladly pay for a home launcher that would make that part work !!!!
If anyone knows of one that actually does it please let me know !
Thanks.

hi guys,
since we are on the topic of launchers. i have a question for the experts here. I am also using DHD. I running LauncherPro. When I first installed it, i set it to default and everything works fine. I press the HOME button it just do what the HOME button suppose to do. I restart or reboot my phone, it just goes into LauncherPro. But after awhile, out of the blue i started having this problem. Everytime I press on the HOME button, my phone will ask me to choose between HTC Sense or LauncherPro. I will tick default and select LauncherPro. The the HOME button will work fine. But after awhile it will ask me to select between the 2 launchers again when i press on the HOME button. Same whenever i restart or reboot the phone.
Tried to clear the default setting in HTC sense but nothing for me to clear. Can be annoying because I really prefer the LauncherPro. Does anyone encounter the same problem as me? Any way to overcome this problem? And also pardon my long winded post.

Is it everytime you restart the phone? Or does it seemed to have had an update. Launcher Pro Plus is the 1 i actually use atm, and i make sure the remember choice thing is checked and never have the problem...
Did any of you notice that when LauncherPro (and possibly other alternate launchers) is active, Settings -> Personalize menu does not work? It just goes back to homescreen. I never noticed it until this morning.
I got a call right after booting my DHD and it rang with one of the default ringtones due to SD card not being mounted yet and my standard ringtone was on it. So I went to check if it was fine once the card was mounted and behold. Then I switched back to Sense and could access the screen.
Yes. It happens everytime I restart the phone. I not using launcher pro plus.

Anyone else having issues on a stock Verizon One getting Nova Launcher to stick? Damn thing keeps defaulting to Sense for some reason. Is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance.
Nova runs fine for me but when I hold the home key to open menu on my homescreen nothing happens. Every once in a while it will work.
Go to HTC Sense in the app settings and clear defaults. Do the same for Nova. Clear defaults for both and see if that solves the problem

Thanks for the suggestion. I've given it a shot. Sense said there were no defaults applied, while Nova said it was a default for certain something... the legend was cut off. I cleared them both and we'll see how it goes.
I'm stock currently, also using Nova. I have not had any issues with it. When you first start using the launcher, and you get the popup asking which UI to use, select "always" (rather than "just once") before selecting Nova, as opposed to Sense. Mine sticks.

I've had this as well, even with Nova selected as default. Sense would pop up randomly when going back to the home screen. What I did is go into app manager and force stop HTC Sense. The problem is when setting another launcher as default, your suppose to clear the others out of memory by using the recent apps, but stock Sense does not allow this apparently...

There is an issue where if you drag up any of your icons on the dock row in your lock screen it will go into Sense. There is nothing you can do about that. Once you have selected Nova as your default launcher, all you have to do is click the home screen and it will take you back.
OP here checking in. Since I applied josh995's suggestion about clearing defaults for both HTC Sense and Nova, it's been pretty well behaved. FYI, peteschlabar, I definitely checked "always" when I had the choice between launchers. Oh well, it seems to have sorted itself out now. Thanks, all!
I just installed nova again and it worked the first time
