I need to get back to sense launcher to edit the lock screen shortcuts, but I can't find it.
I've looked in Apps, I've removed the defaults from my current launcher, but I just can't get it back.
What happened?
It won't be in apps, press the home button when on the home screen and it'll ask if you want to use Rosie

I downloaded ADW Launcher and I accidentally chose HTC Sense as default launcher and now I can't get ADW to come back up. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ADW but still nothing. Any help please? Thanks in advance!

Theres an app called Home Switcher for that. Its free
Yeah he;s right, get Home Switcher from the Market. It's sick and makes it reallt easy to switch. But without an app, you can click Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, then scroll to and select on HTC Sense, click and then select "Clear defaults". That will manually remove the defaults set to the "home" app as preferences.
From there, when clicking the Home button, you will be prompted for which Home launcher you want to use. If you only have Sense installed, it will just show your screen previews. If other launchers are installed, it'll ask you for which to launch and you can set one as default.
Awesome, thanks guys!! Much appreciated.
You could also always just goto market and uninstall awd and reinstall it, it will then give you option when you hit home button again.. Hope this helps..
Or.......
You can also go to settings, applications, manage applications go to htc sense and clear defaults.
the home switcher tis the best option. It's much faster then going to settings>applications>manage applications and clearing defaults.
Thanks
THANKS! Home Switcher wasn't doing the job, but clearing the defaults on Sense made all the difference.

no if u have ADW EX you have to hold down on the homescreen and go to launcher actions and go to the bottom and you can make an icon for launcher settings.

If you want to see "settings" when you press menu instead of having to hit "more" and then "settings", do what this guy said.
Sorry, but I don't think that's quite right.
ADW.Launcher doesn't even have the "Customize Menus" option at all. It is only available in ADWLauncher EX.
But he is asking about ADW Ex.
My fault
Ahh, true enough. My bad, RTFOP.
I am trying to figure out the same thing, but for ADWLauncher. These instructions did nothing for me, and when I didn't see the "EX" distinction in the instructions, I jumped the gun.
So, these work for the OP, but not for me :/ I'll keep looking, I suppose.
When i shut my phone off and turn it back on it will get to the widget locker lock screen like it should but once i slide to unlock there will be no icons on my screen? I have root and am using widgetlockers home helper thing it also did this using lancher pro.
I usually have to turn the phone on and off a few times before the icons will show after unlock.
Any ideas?
Maybe you should set it to default when it asks which one you want to use..
Or I haven't understood your problem
COnfused.com
I would ask in the widget locker and go launcher help thread in the main android app section. I use both in conjunction and have had zero issues but I know the last go update was fixing some icon issues so make sure you update.
Also more info could be helpful. Such as what rom, kernel, etc
go lancher is set as the default. It's once you unlock from the lock screen there will be no icons.
I'm using the stock ROM rooted KE7 2.3.3

Are you using the integrated icon switching or are you using desktop Visualizer?

I'm not sure what you mean? I really haven't did anything but set go lancher as the default lancher and in widget locker i had to set it to use WL HomeHelper (optional) if i don't you can double press the home button and bypass the screen lock.
It's random when the icons don't come up after a unlock.

Are you using custom icons? If not, or even if so bring it up to the go dev team. Definitely looks to be something on their end. Have to tried to replicate it without widget locker?
Nothing to do with widget locker I think (I use it too in conjuction with Go Launcher) however there seems to be a bit of a bug in Go Launcher where icons randomly disappear - the last update was supposed to have fixed that but hasn't really, some still occasionally go missing from my home screens too. The easiest thing to do for now is to put all your apps and shortcuts how you want them, then backup the configuration from within Go Launcher preferences, next time they go walkies just hit restore configuration and job done. Just remember to back up the config every time you add or remove stuff.
I'm using go launcher and widgetlocker for 24 hours now and having no problems at all, initially the launcher was slow, but after 1-2 hours when I used it again, it was smooth, maybe cache related thing

I am using go lancher themes from the market. It did it again the whole screen is blank after a unlock no icons at all only the wallpaper shows. Lancher Pro did the same thing.
I can go into go lancher settings click on themes and nothing comes up.
I used widgetlocker and go launcher ex. I have not had any problems.
Preferences -> Operation settings -> Screen rotation (switch off)
I had the same problem, got rid of it by applying this setting. Wish you luck
Already had the rotation off.
If i hold down the home button after i unlock and bring up the task manger and find widget locker and do a force close all my icons come back.
As a note, I get this exact same issue with ADW Launcher EX.
Happens only right after a reboot, and not every time - WidgetLocker Lockscreen appears, I unlock and find a completely blank screen (Only the notification bar shows). Pressing the menu button brings up the ADW Launcher Ex menu though...
Restarting ADW Launcher doesn't seem to help, only rebooting a couple times until it does appear seemed to help me, but I'll try force closing widget locker itself next time.
I initially set ADW as default launcher, but then set the WL HomeHelper as default in widgetlocker settings, which I believe is the correct way to do it to block the home button from auto unlocking etc.
Edit: Restarted the phone just to test, and force closing widgetlocker does do the trick - minor annoyance only I guess

Yes it is for me it seems to only do it when i'm in a hurry lol
I use widgetlocker and GoLauncher too.
I've had the same problem this morning too, but a reboot of the device fixed the problem.
I've had similar issues without Widgetlocker installed, so I think the cause is to be found in GoLauncher. But the phone reboots very fast so I am not really bothered by it.
I used LP and switched to GO Launcher.
GoLauncher is set as default launcher at the first boot.
In WidgetLocker i disabled the homebutten with homehelper to stop the unlock by the homebutton.
No the problem:
When i reboot, there is a message that says "go launcher is not your default launcher." (Attach 1)
When i click ok, i'm in the assignments of WidgetLocker (Attach 2)
When i disable the homehelper in WL there is no problem when i reboot.
But i want to disable the homebutton...
Any ideas?
BTW: LP is disabled!
I'm using Litening Rom 6.1
I had exactly the same issue and stopped using Go Launcher as a result. It would only happen sometimes but it would require me to restart my phone. I now use ADW instead and it works fine.
Hi,
I have one Problem with Apex Launcher / Nova Launcher on AOKP 37.
Everytime if I install some Market Apps there are automatically shortcuts on my homescreen.
How can i disable this?
Thanks
It's not just Apex, it's every launcher. Go into your Google Play app, hit the menu button, then click settings. You should see an option there that says Auto-add shortcuts. Uncheck that, and you're golden.
Big thanks dude
Hello i flashed elite ICS ROM with elite Kernel ..with default apex lancher..i really like the launcher but when i for example go to apex settings/drawer settings and i change drawer animation from fly in/out to none ...i touch home ... and when i open up my drawer the effect is still there when i look again to setting effect is chosen the same with other functions could something block my launcher or smg?

By the way the EliteRom already includes the Kernel so need to flash both unless the kernel is newer than the Rom.
Trying to replicate what you did, I went into drawer setting, selected none then hit the back arrow to back out to the home screen which was blank for a moment (I guess cuz the UI was restarting) and I clicked on the drawer icon and no animation occurred.
So it might be that you may need to press back instead of home to save the settings (home might be treated as a cancel & exit).
EDIT: Though if I go back and change it back to fly in/out, and hit the home button instead of back, I get the same blank pause, and animation returns. If I set none, and 'home' button again, blank pause, and no animation. So it seems to be working for me regardless if I use the back button or home.
What version of EliteMod are you using, and are you using any customizations?
actually i think that the kernel is bundled ... so you dont need to install it ... and to my problem a tried ..and still the same ... everything disappear from my screen ...and then it pops up i click to my app drawer and effect is back
i am using newest version
no customization
Go into Apex Settings -> About Apex Launcher and see what version you have.
I'm on 1.2.4 , if you're earlier click on the "Check for update now" and apply it, as I've done that in the past.
By the way are you using a DataSwap mod he provides (or sd swap if not that)? (and in that light, are you using an sd-ext partition).
