can't disable Sense on Desire :(

hey guys, can you help please
i cannot seem to disable sense on my desire. i used to do it easy on my
hero .... settings/applications/manage applications/htc sense/ and then deselect "clear defaults" on launch by default... however on my desire this option is greyed out, and if i just force close it relaunches Sense...
any ideas why its greyed out?

Because they removed the stock launcher from the Desire's ROM.
You can install other home replacements, but they took the default home out. If you install one like HelixLauncher or HelixLauncher 2, then clear defaults on Sense, you'll see them show up as options to choose.

ah makes sense (hehe) now
thanks, installed Zeam... works a dream !!!

You can also use the stock launcher2 I have seen somwhere here.
A personal favourite is de HelixLauncher 2.. very nice stuff..

Agreed
Helix Launcher 2 is amazing.

Helix launcher 2 and download home switcher both from the market and you can change between the two via home switcher.

Launcher Pro and Home Switcher with Sense ?

Hi. Still trying to figure out this Android stuff after moving from WinMo.
I have sense and like it. I also like the look of Launcher Pro (and Open Home) - the menu animations look slicker than Sense.
If I install Launcher Pro will I mess up anything that would prevent me getting Sense back ?
Basically Im still unsure whether there is anything I could do that would end up leaving me unable to revert to stock ??
Obvioulsy Rooting and Flashing would affect stock but otherwise are there any apps that could end screwing up my stock version ??

always be careful what apps you install.
obviously if you install something designed to change sense then there could be problems.
install launcher pro, when you press home you will be asked what you want to make default, HTC SENSE, or LAUNCHER PRO, you don't have to even choose one.
if you choose launcher pro, but then want to make sense your default, go to settings -> applications -> launcher pro -> clear defaults - and visa versa.
or just uninstall launcher pro, it's really not difficult.

cheers
Was getting quite confident with WinMo but Android is a whole new thing

i came from a winmo hd2
couldn't be happier to have made the switch, welcome to android, you'll love it

Hi everyone. im an Android noob. After I installed Launcher Pro I didnt immediately enabled it as the default. Last night in my Cisco class my neighbor decided to set android launcher as the default. I'm trying to get Launcher Pro back and enabled as the default. I've reinstalled it and checked the settings under menu>settings>applications>manage apps>launcher pro to no prevail. the options available are uninstall and force stop.

Look for 'HTC sense' in the manage apps bit, and select the remove default option. You should then get the option to choose.

Uh man. I'm so sorry. I have a captivate and have posted in the wrong section. Thanks for your response.

[Q] CM7 BUG ? :l

Hi again all,
Trust you are doing fine.. Please advise if it is normal when rebooting the phone switches back to ADW launcher (using Go Launcher before switching off) ? And when i set up facebook account in account & sync, when again rebooted, it disappears.. I am using a stable rom, and one last thing, may LED notification never turns green when the battery is fully charged (3 hours charging and powered off).
Please kindly help.. :l
thanks in advance !

About the charging:
What Cwm do you use?

Have you set the launcher to default,check settings/applications and clear the defaults in the launcher apps. Then when you press your home button it should show both launchers and a check box asking you to use as default tick the checkbox and choose the launcher you want to use as default.
Charging light is a known bug and cannot be fixed AFAIK.
Ummm !!! Maybe its fixed in newer cwm ? Not sure.

It was the same issue causing both problems as far as I am aware? (anyone feel free correct me?)
UTID - what does this mean?

To be honest its a bug that I never cared about so never looked into it as my phone is always on and when its charging I'm not interested in anything its doing lol.

Glad to see another Manc on here supporting our Red Devils

i think i did read that as well :S not sure why i reposted. probably thought i had a stroke of genius myself but actually i was just reading it lol

Ok if you don't want adw then just delete it but make sure you have the other launcher installed/move to system.
Many ways to remove and add to system if you search.
Option 2 is to just freeze adw using an app eg. Titanium backup/system cleaner etc etc.
UTID

maybe update to go launcher EX, its still free and its good

thank you guys for your favorable replies..
anyone who knows how to fix the account/sync issues ?

so everytime you reboot you fb account get removed from the phone?
dont rebooot lol......only joking. Try deleting the app cache and data for facebook, then uninstalling it and redownloading the most up to date version from the market.
Sounds like something in the ROM isnt holding onto your settings

I've never been able sync facebook contacts etc etc with cm7 like you can on sense but the whole situation changes when on sense. The social networking sync and interface using sense based Rom is perfect.
UTID

If I were you I would definitely flash one of the newer OFFICIAL nighties. I do a lot of switching from sense and cm7 and I use nightly #255 its as stable as the stable and has better features. Just do a fresh install by wiping all data,caches,dalvik from advanced and even do the formats from mounts menu in cwm DON'T WIPE YOUR SDCARD LOL. I think you'll be better off on the nightly mate.

Is One UI Home modding possible ?

Hi,
I'm a bit upset because at some point samsung reduced the icon size on their one ui home app,
I liked them bigger and would like to mod the app if it was possible,
I'd found my way in the code but I'm not sure if and how it's possible to install a rebuilt version of the APK as we can't uninstall the original one,
Could someone tell if it can be or has already been done ?
Thanks

Just get nova launcher prime and call it a day. You wont be disappointed. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en_US
50 million cant be wrong. Anything can be done then.

Not what I was asking for but thanks ^^, I just need info about apk repacking / refactoring, I'm not interested in other launchers

I was able to mod the OneUI launcher...its not perfect though.
I have modded it to have the app drawer as 6 columns and 8 rows.
However, the setting of changing the grid in the launcher setting is goofed up, it only still shows 4x5, 4x6. 5x5 and 5x6. if i choose any of these, i do not have any way of getting it back to 6x8 unless i reset the app....
i am not sure if my mod will work on every phone...i can probably prepare a guide on how to mod it.

Good day.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but here goes a sugestion anyway.
Samsung has an app called Home Up, that can change some paremeters of One UI launcher, like app drawer grid, folder presentation and backup your layout.
If you are interested, here is the link, and some screenshots

Hope it helps

Why I Can't Set Custom Launcher as Default Launcher ?

Solved The Problem Myself​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am facing an issue with my Samsung Galaxy F41, I am trying to set a custom launcher as my default launcher but I keep getting prompted to select between my custom launcher and the Samsung pre-built one.​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
​I have already specified the custom launcher as my default in the default apps settings, but it keeps asking me to choose between the two. I have attached a video that shows the exact problem I am facing.​
Your browser is not able to display this video.
​
I am not aware of any API changes made by Samsung in their latest update (Someone told me that it's something related api and i don't know what was he wanted to tell me), but I have tried all the ways I know to fix the problem and I still can't figure it out. I have tried multiple famous launchers available in the Play Store, but the problem remains.
​If you have any solution to this issue, please let me know in the comments section. I would really appreciate your help in resolving this issue as I am eager to use my custom launcher as my default.​

For example, Nova Launcher defends itself from being removed as the main launcher in its own settings.
Where did you get this "Kwaesltso" from?

Kvaesitso is a search focused, free and open source launcher for Android.

Btw I tried Nova launcher as well but getting same issue.

Before selecting a launcher app, try tapping on "Always" first.
I'm using One UI 2.5 with Nova and it works OK, but Kvaesitso doesn't work well because except for the home screen with clock and notifications I can't open the app panel.
