How disable HTC Sense, using Launcher Pro instead (battery life is bad) - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am currently using Launcher Pro and Widgetdroid on my HTC Desire HD. I don't think I'll need HTC Sense for now. Is there a way to disable HTC Sense? I have a feeling its taking up lots of battery when its running together with Launcher Pro. Does it actually or I am just bad at battery management. I use juice defender and Android Booster. I might have gotten the settings wrong. Is there any other better suggestions? Please lemme know thanks.

head over the development section, there are tons of ROMs with HTC Sense launcher removed and replaced with launcher pro.

Hey i'm in the same boat as you and using Launcher Pro instead of HTC Sense. I would give your phone a restart after you've made Launcher Pro your default and that way HTC Sense isn't running in the background. I have a Custom Rom installed and generally get about 1 day and 17 hours of battery life, and thats with 3g on, wifi on, surfing the web, gaming. I personally wouldn't use any sort of Task managers seeing as the applications are closed automatically after a certain period of time when not used.
Am i correct in assuming your phone isn't rooted with a custom rom? If it isn't maybe you should consider rooting your DHD. I use to have quite poor battery life prior to rooting. Just about got 10hours out of it.

Try looking up on the net about your ROM tht your running.... I am using the latest LeeDroid ROM on my desire HD & using the recommend kernel & radio, I use to use an overclocking app but not anymore I find with this ROM, kernel, radio & Launcher pro plus I have a better battery life.
Try these tips -
1. Only use Bluetooth, wi-fi, gps, mobile network when you need it
2. Turn auto brightness off, set it as low as possible & only change when needed
3. Flash the recommend kernel & radio for your Rom they will improve your all round usage & battery life of your phone
4. If using a overclocking app don't overclock or underclock too much, this will drain the battery faster!
5. Task killers are not worth using, just keep an eye on what is earring up your battery with a system app & if you find a battery killer app just uninstall it & use a different less draining one
6. Charge your battery to 100% when flashing a new rom, cause some roms delete the battery cailibration.zip file! Just d/load the battery cailibration app from the market charge tour phone to 100%, flash your rom, reboot, charge back to 100%, leave for 10 or 15minutes after at a 100%, thn let your phone drain to 0 thn recharge to 100% your phone should now know the correct battery cailibration & you should notice the difference in battery life
Hope this improves your battery

From a full charge I get a battery drain while sleeping of about 1-3% drain & thts on about 5-7hrs, then my phone goes for about 10+ hrs with some mobile data usage for checking Facebook, Twiter, Xda & Tapatalk. With plenty of txt messaging & a few short calls here & there! My phone is running LeeDroids latest custom rom, kernel & radio. Much better & faster than when I was unrooted & using the orig HTC sense rom!

Hi, which section can I find the contents to root my phone. You are right my phone isn't rooted. I was planning to root and install HTC Sense 3.0 rom and then run it under Launcher Pro. Do you reckon its a good idea?

It seems to me that everyone in here has rooted their phone and is using LeeDroid rom. Where can I find it ? Thanks

Rooting has been made pretty easy these days. I did it on my first try. Also just as a warning there is always a slight chance you might brick your phone so make sure you read up on everything before you try any of it. I personally spent a couple of hours reading up before i tried it.
Once your rooted you can choose from a variety of Custom Roms for example Leedroid, Android HD, RCMIX etc all of which provide excellent battery life and differnt features. So it's up to you to pick which one you like. I personally chose Leedroids Rom.
This post will tell you how to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076&highlight=how+to+root
You might have an upgraded DHD in which case you need to downgrade first so check this link out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
And this is a link to Leedroids Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056727
Keep in mind you won't obviously be able to use it until you've rooted up your DHD.
I'm not an expert at this so if anyone else can add to this please feel free to help out our fellow DHD user.
Also this is just to get you to start reading up. I'll start reading up myself to give you a walkthrough.
To start off if you could please give us your Software Info. You do that by menu > settings > about phone (at the bottom) > software info..and just type out whats there please so we can tell you if you need downgrading.

I've just read through it. Seems pretty straightforward and it's the same pages I used when i rooted my DHD. So first downgrade if you need to. then follow up on the first link i posted. and just go through the instructions.
Any problems just post it here.

I will get back to you tomorrow thanks

Hi, if you root your phone you can remove sense by flashing a no-sense script in recovery (if you read the rooting guide you will know what recovery is). The no sense script can be found on the first post in the Android Revolution HD thread in the development section or there is a no-sense++ script in the themes and app section.
NOTE: THIS WILL COMPLETELY REMOVE SENSE. but it can be restored by flashing your Rom again.

Hi, sorry to get back to you so slow. My android version is 2.2.1... What other informations do you need?

solution:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > HTC Sense > Clear defaults. Now when I click the home button it will ask me what interface I want to use (the Android default, usually called "Launcher" or "Home", or the HTC Sense).

[Q] CM6.1.3 VS Stock HTC 1.72.405.3

So, i was stupid enough to OTA before we knew it couldn't be rooted.
Now i have downgraded and used CM6.1.3 for a few days wich i belive is buildt around 1.72.405.3 and i can see a massiv battery drain, like loose allmost 50% over night in standby mode. Couldnt find any particular reason for this other than system using most of it in standby.
Now i have downgraded and reverted back to stock HTC 1.72 and my batterylife is back to 2 days+ can easy do over night without loosing more than 5-10% battery.
Anyone else noticed this or have i done something wrong with my CM6.1.3 flashing?
Any point of view would be nice really, maybe some of the ROM Chefs in here have some thoughts around this?
Alot of people including myself have notice a slightling higher battery drain using CM6.1.3 over a sense base rom. Most have found that using the new radio suggested in the thread helps with it. If you find that the battery drain is to much for you then try one of the custom sense based roms, android revolution has a zip you can flash to remove the sense stuff from the rom and run the launcher from 2.3 instead.
Are you running the stock radio?

Hi, I had the same problem on CM6.1.3, i found a post somewhere, but in a nutshell, under WI-FI settings click menu, advanced, WI-FI Sleep policy & change the option to never. Has helped my battery loads.

Time to root,

Real quick,
1. Do I loose all the apps I installed? (I'll just reinstall them I assume?)
2. Can I get rid of the preinstalled apps that keep running?
3. Is it fairly easy to overclock when screen clicks on, and underclock when its clicked off?
4. What is the best kernel for stability and battery life?
5. Whats the most stable ROM for stability and battery life?
Both me and my girlfriend use the G2 and we love them. I just want to milk the hardware a bit more
Also added another line with the MT4G going to do that one next :0
Wrap Up. I'm trying to get the snappiest, most stable, running G2, with the longest battery life. Please help, I've been trolling and reading these for a while, just wanted to repost the information in case anything has changed/updated. Cheers from Minneapolis!

Just rooting won't make you lose anything; the only time you'll have to reinstall apps is when you flash a new ROM as you need to do a full wipe however, Market will start to reinstall them on its own.
When you root, you can do whatever you want, including removing stock apps. Titanium Backup has a feature to remove apps (be sure to make a backup though, incase something breaks)
Overclocking requires an overclocked kernel and SetCPU has profiles to allow screen on/off settings.
Pershoots kernel is generally viewed as the best however, it doesn't work with the stock ROM or Sense ROMs; for the stock ROM try Baconbits (v3 is the latest, I believe).
Most ROMs are generally equally stable, which to choose depends on what you like. Most use CyanogenMOD though, there are many to choose from.

Not neccessarily; just rooting doesn't give one better battery life, Sense ROMs generally have worse battery lives, Pershoot under-volts giving better battery life, etc.
The only way just rooting your device gives you better battery life is that it allows you to remove the carrier installed bloatware that runs at startup.

[Q] HTC Desire HD- Slows down dramatically =(

Hi Guys, I have just recently been introduced to the android world by getting a HTC Desire HD, Now i love the phone, no complaints except for the fact that my phone slows down alot, now i have android version 2.2.1 (i have no idea what the software is called, but i think they call it froyo, excuse me as im in the process of learning). i am using GoLauncher EX as i dont really like the standard one and the majority of my apps are all installed to the sd card. Now my phone is a T-mobile phone and every time i restart my phone i have the T-Mobile logo appearing which i want to get rid of and the boot up process of the phone takes a few minutes, I thought the HTC Desire hd was supposed to have a fast boot up? or is it because i have so many apps installed it slows down the boot up process? or could it be that the rom that is installed on my phone is a t-mobile rom which slows down the phone?
I do apologise to anybody that finds my questions annoying, I am new to android so please bear with me as i am still trying to get my head round everything.
All i want is for my phone to be responsive when i want it to be responsive without it freezing due to what ever reason (which i dont know and i am trying to figure out) and have as my apps as i want installed on my phone without having to worry about Ram usage. would i need to download a standard manufacturers Rom??
I also keep hearing the term "root" without actually knowing what it would do in more detail. From what i know i understand that you would have superuser access, but what can i do with this access? and what would be the simplest and safest way to root?
any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.
I presume that you're currently using the stock ROM(the original OS) held by HTC since you do not know what/how to root your device. Did you turn on USB Debugging? Go to Setting >> Application >> Development >> USB Debugging. Check the USB Debugging and see there is any result.
Rooting your phone you can try using Visionary app to root your Desire HD. I tried using it and it works. But make sure your build number is not or higher than 1.7xxxxxx. Check it at Setting >> About Phone >> Software Information. If higher you will need to downgrade it.
You can download apk file here: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/ by paulobrien. The app has been removed from the Market.
Before rooting, do some homework. You must know the risk of rooting your device.
Cheers. =)
my dhd is fairly new as well but i've never had any performance issues. before i rooted, i was running the stock rom with over 70 apps without any lag or slowdowns. i'm wondering if the issue with your phone is hardware related, in which case i'm not sure if rooting will help.
there's a massive amount of info in the forums on how to extend battery life. read up on those because it will help with performance as well. i hope this helps.
Firstly welcome to the forum.
I'm guessing that your on software number 1.7... since you have android 2.2.1. I was having slowdowns even with USB debugging check on. I just ended up rooting my phone and installing a custom rom. See if the USB debugging is checked and see if it makes a difference.
Rooting basically means that you can run apps which need superuser permissions, it's kind of like 'jailbreaking' on an iphone if you use the term loosely. As stated in previous post, if your running software number 1.7... or higher you'll need to downgrade first before you can run the root.
In order to install custom roms you need to do an extra step which is know as 'S-OFF' and then you can flash a recovery image. This might sound confusing. Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
It explains everything. Also make sure to check out the development section of the Desire HD forum, where you'll find a whole new world, and really unlock the potential of your phone!
Try downloading JuiceDefender and AdvancedTaskKiller from the market and have them running on aggressive profiles.
They are designed to extend battery life, but they kill applications running in the background (as Android doesn't close most applications when you exit them, just sleeps them). You may notice that this improves performance. They will also show you how much free memory you have on your phone, as this being low will probably be the cause of the slowdown.

No. Just no. Do NOT use taskkillers... that's the reason why most phones slow down after some time. Please understand how android works before recommend someone a taskkiller...
There are enough discussions about taskkillers here on XDA, so search for them and you will see that nearly no one will recommend them.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
I'm aware of how Android works, but for applications that update/sync and use more memory (Twitter/Facebook) the Android system doesn't close it off. This is where I use task killers.
I have also, despite other peoples insistence it doesn't (placebo effect blah blah..), noted a marked difference in both performance and battery life when using such tools. especially if I've been using the phone for many apps in a short space of time, killing them in bulk before launching another makes a huge difference, and Android only kills them after a period of inactivity.
Thank all of you guys for the reply!
It is very much appreciated as i am new to this forum and the android world, and boy can it get confusing! lol. but i do feel as though i am learning slowly but surely! now just to give you guys a little more info about my phone if it helps and please help me out here aswell....
Android version = 2.2.1 (im asuming this is called froyo)
Baseband version = 12.28e.60.140fu_26.04.02.17_m2 ( i have no idea what this means)
Kernal Version =2.6.32.21-g1e30168 [email protected] #1 fri dec 10 18:43:12 cst 2010 (im assuming this is when my software was last updated)
Build Number = 1.75.111.2 CL301245 release keys
Software Number = 1.75.111.2 ( from what i have gathered is that i can not root this software and i have to downgrade to 1.72 and below? please correct me if i am wrong)
Browser Version = 3.1
My network provider is o2 but my handset is a t-mobile handset, now what i dont understand is, they say that the htc desire hd is supposed to have a really fast boot up but when i boot up my phone the t-mobile sign appears and it stays on the screen for about a minute.
Now i have been reading up on this forum but i guess "you can never read enough" as there's always new threads being added all the time. but what i would like to do is remove any network provided software and completely and make my phone as stable as possible and then i would like to root it to be able to have superuser access. So would that mean that i would have to install a custom rom?? and can i install a custom rom via an app? or would i have to do it via my laptop?
and can somebody quickly run over what the Hbootloader is?
what does s-off mean?
what is the radio or what does it do? and what is Nand?
sorry for any of you guys that think my questions are silly or stupid, but just trying to clear up any confusion
Thank you to all of you guys that have previously replyed and thank u in advance for those of you that are about to reply!
Payback time for me.
I got an old desire z because my phone is UPS travelling in warranty and I'm waiting a replacement.
This phone got me mad. Really. I was running on a stable CM10.1 nothing installed except for WhatsApp and Chrome, and everything was DAMN slow, i got messages "The application stopped running, wanna close it?" for every click made on the touch, even from phone or system apps.
So I got here, and I noticed this "USB Debugging should be on" trick, but the situation got better, still unacceptable.
This phone got a snapdragon 800mhz and I noticed, in the performance tab under settings, it got a Max CPU limit 1024Mhz.
So I changed this parameters:
- Max CPU frequency @806Mhz
- Governor set to INTERACTIVE
- I/O scheduler to NOOP
- Kernel page fusion (KSM) -> ENABLED
I set all to "set this parameters on reboot" and rebooted the phone. Yes. Because now it can be called "phone" again.
No more issues from apps, and the device got finally responsive to all the user requests. I didn't tried multitasking yet, but it is finally usable.
I know this is a Desire HD thread, but maybe the info could help someone around....

[Q] Will rooting to 2.3 disable htcsense.com?

Hi! I got my shiny new Desire HD yesterday (upgraded from an iphone) and by god do I love it, just perfect for me.
Although with it comes a lot of.. junk that I simply do not need (scrolling through a good 30 apps just to get to my most used), plus I heard that 2.3 (Specifically Cyanogenmod 7) brings with it better battery, better performance and with it being rooted, more features.
I'm looking to root it as soon as possible before I start putting a lot of things on it, rather than do a lot with it now and then have to do it again a couple months down the road.
My main question is, I love htcsense.com and I love the extra features it gives me, especially being able to track the phone, gives me much needed peace of mind, if I root to a 2.3 ROM (probably cm7) will htcsense.com no longer work?
Thankyou for any/all replies, oh and a little quickie at the end, I'm planning to go with cm7 because it seems the most basic and customizable for my needs, and battery life is a huge plus for me as I'm planning to use this beauty in and around college, is cm7 a good idea?
Thank you and have a great day.
If that HTC feature relies on having the app on the phone then it wont work as CM7 is not a Sense ROM and contains no sense applications.
Neither do I believe simply installing the apk, if possible, would work.
Be nice to be wrong though.
Sent using witchcraft via XDA Developers Premium App.
Ahh, so in short, no?
Fair enough, is there a way to install the part needed for it to work after rooting it with cm7?
Probably not. Again, hope I'm wrong because it is a great utility that would otherwise cost you (Wavesecure app for example and I believe one of the anti-virus apps provides same functionality).
If anyone has the apk I'd happily try it but IIRC the apps rely on the Sense framework.
Bear with me, just checking this out.
Sent using witchcraft via XDA Developers Premium App.
Confirmed. Without the apk installed the phone can't communicate with the HTC servers.

Hi there,
i've recently rooted my Desire HD (and upgraded to 2.3.3) & I can tell you that HTCsense still works. No idea about if it still works on non-sense roms such as CM7 or not.
I've been using RCMix and Android Revolution roms in the past week & both of them are a lot better than the stock Froyo that my phone came with though.
Did a search and found an apk but it is confirmed that it will not run on AOSP ROMs such as Cyanogenmod.
The only option you have would be to run a Sense based ROM then install something like ADW.Launcher which has categorised app drawer (meaning you can choose what apps appear).
Sent using witchcraft via XDA Developers Premium App.
Thankyou for the replies you've really helped.
Does sense rom mean, a rom that has HTC sense enabled? I assume it does.
Also, if I want to get 2.3+ android with sense so I can use the htcsense.com service, which rom would be best to root too? I've only ever heard of cm7, that's about it.
Thanks again!
Coredroid is a sense ROM. Pretty good too. If your main concern is tracking your phone, why don't you try Lookout from the marketplace. its free and is also a very good virus checker too!

Does it improve the battery life at all?
Oh also, is it easy to change back to the original ROM that came with the phone in-case of any warranty issues? Coredroid just doesn't look as.. polished as cyanogen, I could be completely wrong though.
If so, I'll root it today! Love the community by the way, I can't say anything bad about the iPhone community really, although they seem to care a lot less.
Does rooting to an Android 2.3 ROM bring everything that normal Android 2.3 brings and then depending on the ROM, special things? So it doesn't matter what ROM I get that's 2.3 they'll all have 2.3 Android features?
Do a backup in Tom manager in case you want to go back to your previous rom. Coredroid is a very fast rom IMO, but its dependent on how you use it much like any other rom really.
batery life is better than stock but again you will need to be mindful of gps and wifi etc. An awesome gingerbread kernel to improve battery life does not yet exist.
Fantastic, I'll give CoreDroid a try then, thankyou for your help, you've been very useful and informative.
One last thing before I begin the process, what is Tom manager? I did a quick google search and a look into the market but found nothing, did you mean Rom manager?
my bad. I have auto correction on. I meant ROM manager.

Ahh, I got it and I'm trying to backup my current ROM but I need to install "clockwordmod recovery" and whenever I try I get a "An error occurred while attempting to run privilged commands!" which is a shame.
Oh, and is there an up-to-date guide on how to root? Pardon my ignorance.
You need root first.
There's several "how to's" in the development forum. More information than we could put here (or should).
Sorry, I'm being incredibly silly, I keep getting ROM's and rooting mixed up, I'm in the process of rooting it now then I'll install a ROM, I haven't decided which yet but I might.. shop around, sorta speak.
Thanks for the help guys, take care.
Because sense apps aren't running in background, Cyanogen should be less stressful on the battery. However stock roms are usually not developed to maximize battery life in the same way custom roms are (afterall, battery life is a bugbear for developers too!). With this in mind, Coredroid even with sense is still better on your battery life than stock sense. Its all dependent on how you use it though (turn off GPS and wifi when no longer required etc..). Intensive use will naturally drain your battery sooner than conservative use. If you find battery life a pain with any rom, you could try juice defender free to automatically regulate consumption of battery.
Best advice, try a number of mods every week or so, and settle on one you like once you've experienced them. You souls also download battery calibrator from market and use after every flash to help you with the battery.
After a little soulsearching I'm going to give RCMixHD a try, it seems very popular which is usually a good sign, it has sense 3.0 and 2.3.3 Android so it's practically perfect.
The only thing I'm puzzled by now is "radios" I've worked out that they determine call reception and 3G+HSPDA whatnots, but do I actually need a new one before/after flashing to a new ROM? There seems to be a lot of radios out there and I have no clue which to go with and what they do.
Oh, also, does overclocking your phone as you have done have a huge impact on the battery life? I assume it has atleast some impact.
Only certain roms currently support overclocking, with some having the ability only after a kernel flash. CM7.0.2 however comes with ability without need to install anything else. You will need SetCPU to overclock and select a governor to regulate how power is maintained. You need to set minimum frequency when phone is idle etc.. It's easier than it sounds but do read into the overclocking threads for dhd we have here if in any doubt.

- Remember to full wipe / factory reset within recovery if changing ROMs
- Install ROM.zip....
There are guides everywhere over the internet as to how to do this in case your forgot. Google is still your friend even if you are a teenager
There is no such thing as a battery saving ROM. Battery life is mostly dependent on your individual usage and how you use the device/
Whenever you have battery issues, it always makes sense to use logic first, to try and understand what is using your battery according to the laws of physics. Apps like betterbatterystats or wakelock detector will tell you if you have any bad apps keeping your phone awake.
If there are no suspsicous apps, it's likely that the battery is simply too old and worn if it's the original one (which would be ~4 years old by now). A new battery would be a better option. No amount of changing ROMs or kernels etc will make a difference.
will you suggest any good and stable rom for htc desire??

Your home button generally needs to remain in place. Because you need to get home a lot
To turn on the screen, you can find a ROM with trackpad wake, I believe most have this built in, check each ROM thread first post, or search the thread
To turn off the screen, use a widget on the homescreen do the same thing
You can install whatsapp and candy crush on basically any rom...even stock ROM
