After looking at some stock images I've noticed that you get more icons on the bottom, whereas on Sense you get the menu, phone and add.
So basically what would I lose by turning HTC Sense off apart from the bottom bar? I currently use the Power Tools widget I think it is, the gaint clock/weather and the calendar.
You can't turn sense off on the desire unlike the hero as far as I know. I've been wanting to goto android basic for a while don't think anyone has worked how to do it

Tried and failed.
Did a search of sorts, came across launcher pro, seems good, a slight slow down at times but I think I can work with this. Lack of leap though is a bit off ...
Launcher seems alright but I tad some at times and I miss some of the HTC widgets so off it goes . Back to Sense.
HTC please let me change that bloody useless bottom bar!!!!
Agreed, its not very attractive but this will most definately be changed with the 2.2 Froyo update

I am so looking forward to it!
Saves me money though as I don't need beautiful widgets or the widget similair to the power tweak widget.
Also it remembered the last state so no moving around once I reverted back :O.
i tried the ADWlauncher and Launcher Pro too for the same reason, the bottom bar i wanted with shortcuts. but i really can't compromise the speed and smoothness of the sense ui with those ones (even if ADW is the fastest 3rd party if you tweak the settings) but most important is the DATA-INTERNET widget which cannot be added in without sense.
i hope that with froyo HTC will enable both launchers and be a user choice which one to use but still have the HTC widgets.
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.
As my title states I've lost the Stock Launcher option...
I uninstalled a 3rd party launcher, and since then I've not had the option to use the Stock Android Launcher...
When I turn off Sense and go back to the home screen, Sense just starts back up.. I know longer get the Option screen to choose which to open...
How do I get this back?
Thanks!
If the only launcher you have on there is Sense you won't get an option as far as I know. If you had just installed one third party one and then uninstalled it there is no more choice.

before installing that third party app I used to have the option for the Stock Android launcher...i'd disable Sense by going to Settings from the home scren, and choosing Applications, then choosing Sense, and force closing it, and de-selecting it as default... then when I'd press the Home button I'd get a choice "Android Launcher" or "Sense"...I no longer get this choice...
I'm totally new to Android.. I came from WInMo and there I'd just go to the registry to fix the problem
I have No idea what to do!
Well shows what I know being new to Android as well. Didn't realize that. Thanks.
Try going into the menu, settings, applications, manage applications and then going to HTC sense and clearing its defaults. If you have another launcher installed it should come up now when you press the home button.

Before I installed that third party app i would have two options, Sense and Android Launcher..with Android Launcher being the Stock launcher that you get on the nexus one... I would have no Launchers installed...
Evidently you all don't knwo you can Disable Sense and go to stock... I just want to go to stock again...

Sorry I didn't know you were doing that already....and I do know you can switch launchers....anyway if you updated to one of the OTA updates, I think Sprint/HTC removed the stock launcher.

well crap that answers my question... they took it away..(
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..
it keep prompting for default launcher even have clear default for hundreds time. BTW i'm using go launcher as the alternate launcher.
really appreciate some guide/advice on this.
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.
