Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with using custom launchers on Sense 3.0&3.5 ROMs: if I use a custom launcher without deleting or freezing Sense, whenever I press Home button, a prompt appears asking me whether I want to use HTC Sense or the custom launcher to 'complete the action' even though I had chosen the custom launcher and set it as default for a bunch of times.
It is maddening since I've never found a perfect No-sense script and camera apps on AOSP ROMs are so lame. Any solutions, please?
Thanks a lot!

Have you tried going to settings, applications then manage applications and setting the default from there?

Just tried out Dell's new stage ui and it works perfectly on my desire hd.
For those of you who want to give it a try you can get it from this thread:
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...dell-stage-ui-widgets-home-launcher-apk-pack/
just extract using astro file manager or something and install each .apk . Make sure to clear the defaults of the sense home screen by going into applications and clear defaults of sense. You also apparently need to change the density to 160 by grabbing the lcd density changer app from here:

nop, every launcher have is own widgets...
Can we see some Screenshot in the Desire display?
Nice :O Didnt think it would work.
Though its kinda screwing with the sense clock widget (one that gives time and weather) when the time changes the previous time on the minutes side is siting behind the current time .
On Desire HD don't work facebook widget and mail widget. Someone could fix that?
I tried widget locker and liked the way it looked, but you have to manually start the app every time you turn the phone on. I don't really care about all of the slide mods, but I would like to change the clock, font, etc. Is there a setting in Cyanogen that I'm missing? Any other app suggestions?
Has anyone ever tried this method for changing the clock font?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/e1q7j/i_got_rid_of_that_stupid_lockscreen_clock_font/
Basically requires using Terminal to paste a new font over the existing font. I've never used Terminal and I don't have any experience in Linux. The program that someone mentions there (Type Fresh) has lots of bad comments on Appbrain about causing crashes and bootloops, so I think I'll stay away from that one.
are you looking to modify your system lockscreen or trying to find a replacement app (widgetlocker)?
for your widget locker problem, select start at boot and disable the 5 sec. rule.

If you don't want to use terminal, I'm pretty sure you can use ninjamorph which might be a little easier. As for widgetlocker, I'd say just do what kevina said. I've been using for the past week or so and it's been smooth and quick for me.
You could use tasker to autostart widget locker.

Ninjamorph doesn't work for this, nor did root explorer. I tried type fresh multiple times and it didn't work. After trying everything except using the terminal, I just changed the fonts in the rom's zip and reflashed it.
Thanks for the tips guys.. I reinstalled Widget Locker and I'm playing around with it again. I don't like how it takes over the Home button, but other than that it seems to be working pretty well.
Newest cm6.1 rc2 nightly has gestures and added support for phone and sms sliders on the lock screen. I can quickly access facebook, camera, sms, and phone without first unlocking the phone - I love it!
Which nightly are you on and does it seem pretty stable? I do have that same functionality you are talking about with Widget Locker... but if I can have it through the OS, I'll just use that.
I just got Widget Locker the other day. I love it!

Also make sure widgetlocker is installed on your phone and not the sd.

I just tested and I'm not getting any FC. I'm running the PG themed Sense version. I did not test on the nonsense version

Seems to happen in the nonsense version only.
I have also had this issue on the nonsense version.
Is it easy to switch from Senseless to Sense?
Yes it is easy. Should be able to re-flash the rom and choose "I like sense" or something like that and your problems are solved.
It shouldn't wipe any apps or settings right expect those specific to Nova Launcher?

correct. issue will be resolved after more testing. the problem is only happening to non-sense version
I wipe everything just to be safe. I also back up my app data so I don't have to worry about anything missing.
works now that I am on sense. is there a list of apps that can be safely removed?
Which ones are you thinking of removing?
Well as much as i can but mainly stocks, weather and news apps that are listed in my accounts and sync providers section in settings.
I remove about 52 apps every time I load a new rom. Stocks are fine, News, task, notepad all the apps like that are fine to remove.
Can you PM the list that you use to remove them? That would be so helpful.
Lot of similarities:

This is getting on my nerves. Trying to switch to golauncher and i keep telling it to use go launcher by default and it keeps asking me which launcher I wanna use. And you can't disable sense either. Whats the deal?

Seems as long as I'm on stock unrooted this will be an issue. Back to sense for now. Sense overall is a nice stock launcher but wouldn't mind something faster.

I have noticed the same problem with other apps. I will select a specific app as default when prompted. Then I get prompted again the next time. I'm not sure if the feature doesn't work, or if I don't understand the obscure instructions,
I've got the same problem ...
This usually happend to me with Google maps or the browser when I had "automatically update" set in Google's play store. Every time after update it clears the default, and have to re set it.

Good afternoon to you all here at XDA,
Until recent I have had no problems with any on my devices when it comes to exploiting and unlocking them but today I started to play around with my girlfriends KFHD and have now run into a few snags.
For now I would like to focus on the Home key function.
I have just installed ADW Launcher EX and after setting it all up, discovered that the home key just takes me back to the stock Kindle Home screen. Is there anyway in which I can set my home key to be default to ADW rather than stock so it will load my ADW's default screen?
Side note: I know you can use Go Launcher EX which I use with my phone but I don't fancy messing around, adding this app to the system folders and the device has a locked bootloader and not mine.
Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks for your time,
Madrox.
I believe the device needs to be rooted. So you can convert the launchers apk file to a system app.
Once it's a system app, you can set it as the default launcher and the home button will work like you want it to.

Thanks for that,
The device is rooted and everything is unlocked and ready to go apart from the Bootloader.
I have seen the /system/app approach but do not want to try it as I cant find out if it is safe on 7.2.2. I've only seen this done on earlier versions and as said device is not mine and I have no Factory Cable, I won't be trying that just yet.
ADW launche r and 7.2.2

I just set ADW Launcher as systam App with 7.2.2. I had to : as user app it wasn't working at all, All seems to be all right with my tablet. Only, I can' t use widgets and wallpapers - don't know why - while with 7.1.2 they worked perfectly.
Hope to be of some reassurance for you
Tested with GO Launcher EX 3.13 after reading other posts. After messing around half the day with other things, I never actually noticed this post was similar to another about Launchers so this is now a closed matter.
Like nova launcher
