I am running a Sprint Hero with the Fresh ROM 1.1 with the Gumbo kernel.
When I am using the browser and I hit the home button a popup comes up and asks me which action with Home and Sense UI. I click the box that says make this the default action and click Sense. Its always happening?? How can I fix it?
Thanks
by selecting use as default and click htc sense
I am having the same issue with gumbo 1.5b and ghbil kernal. Even when you select use as default it still asks.
It happened to me as well but only after i tried lockbot

I cannot make it go away. Irritating.
Try reflashing whatever rom you're on.

Googled for a little while but couldn't find anything.
I would like to use the official 2.1 home app.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance
this is how it worked in 1.5, not sure if it does in 2.1 as i don't use it yet.
in 1.5 you could go to settings->applications and in the list of installed applications there also was "HTC Sense". if you looked at the details you could see that it was the default app for some actions and there was a button "delete default settings" or something like that. after that, when you hit the home button, you would get a question dialog asking if you want to use Launcher or HTC Sense for that action. you could also select to always use this setting there.
an alternative (also only tested by me in 1.5) could be the app "home switcher" that shows you all home apps installed and lets you select
hope that is helpful
I know, but this doesn't work anymore. I got used to sense now, but I'm getting really annoyed right now! It's just too SLOW
Using adw now quite pleased with that
can you share how you disabled Sense? i don't want to uninstall it completely
ok, i guess the htc didn't want users to switch to the default interface.
however, I attached the Launcher.apk from the emulator running 2.1, maybe it is possible to install it on hero as well.
hope it works!
The other day I was reading about Google voice being leaked from a G2 system dump in the android forum and I decided to give it a go. After installing, I launched the Google Voice app and then clicked the home button. I was prompted to choose which application to use: Sense UI or Launcher. I selected Launcher and it gave the default android home screen without any of the Sense UI extras, including the full 3D app menu. Not sure if anybody else tried this, but I wanted to share what I found.

EDIT:
I also installed the Gallery3DFroyo.apk from this thread:

WARNING: You cannot make a call with this interface, it said that the application was not installed... all you have to do is launch Google Voice and click the home button again. You should be prompted to use Sense UI or Launcher, select Sense UI
I thought that was a feature of some custom ROMs. I could be wrong though. I'm running Skyraider 3.0 RC3 and this happens, although I set it to Sense as the default.

He didn't "disable" Sense. There's another launcher involved. Sense is still running in the background...maybe not accessible but it's still there.

You can make calls with the one in my roms.
We have been able to clear defaults on Rosie ever since Froyo came about.
Yeah there's also an app called clear defaults in the market which will just take you to the defaulted home and you just press clear default

I'm running the Generic OTA of Froyo. I wasn't sure if it was known or not... or if it was anything special. I'm new to droid, I wasn't aware of the clear default app.
Apparrently did something with my phone as my homescreen (not the sense version) is gone. Have checked but could not find how to get back. Anyone has experienced the same eg. has the solution?
Do not want to make a hard reset for now.......
Try downloading Home Switcher and use that!

ADW Settings>General Behavior>Gestures>Home Button Binding
From there you can pick what you want the home button to do...hope this helps man..
Tried that but its not sticking... hmm thanks anyways
Ok now I see the problem. Using home switcher when selecting my default home app it is not keeping the adw launcher. For some reason it is reverting back to the stock android launcher.
Fix its, just cleared everything in manage apps...
A problem i have
I just installed ADW launcher on my tab and for whatever reason the damn "menu" icon won't go away on my homescreen. Its right next to the multitask button and it refuses to go away. I have seen many people who use adw not have this problem any ideas?

When you first installed adw and pushed the home button for the first time, you should have been given an option (pop up menu) to either go to the stock launcher or adw, and under those two options theres a checkbox to make it your default choice. You may have accidently checked it and went to the stock launcher.
I'd try going into settings/applications/all and find the stock launcher and if you select it than there should be an option to clear defaults for that app.

I know the last few updates for adw has had some issues so I'm not sure if this is one that people are complaining about.
But what I did was create a shortcut to show/hide the action bar.
Just long press the screen, than go to launcher actions and select hide/show action bar. I also replaced the icon with a transparent png so it's invisible on my screen.

I see what youre saying.
This must be something they added with the latest updates, but I can see why they did. If you use adw on a phone pressing the menu button brings up options for the launcher. These options are customizable by the way and actually come in handy. So maybe their just trying to make it more uniform to phone versions.
But I dont think theres any way you could get rid of it, adw is calling for the os to display the button, so unless theres a setting with in the app or unless you edit the apk youre stuck with it lol. The older versions like the one Im running now dont have this, so thats why you didnt see other users with the issue.

Solution.
I have been using ADW Launcher EX version 1.3.3.55 and I think this solution will work with other/older versions as well.
Search the Market for: Home Manager. Once you install and run this app it will give you the option to clear default then select the the default home you want. I've been using this myself and can assure you it works. I suppose it enables a service that ensures the default home settings 'stick'. Anyway once you're done and it works then you can disable the the status/notification bar option in the app as it doesn't need them running to function properly. Happy Home Skinning!
Hey guys,
Whenever I restart my phone (or turn it on), a dialog pops up asking me to select my default launcher. I select it and press always.
The next time I turn on my phone, the same popup appears even though I selected always.
How come the defaults aren't sticking?
Thanks in advance.

More information may be needed...
Are you rooted or not? If rooted, what ROM are you running?
Also helpful; Does this happen for all app defaults or just the launcher and if just the launcher, which one are you trying to make default?

I am not rooted.
It only appears to be the launcher. I am setting it to be the Standard Launcher (as opposed to the Easy Mode).

Nope, didn't work.
When I power on the device, I get the following popup "Complete action using" and I have Easy Launcher and TouchWiz home. I select the latter and tap always. This doesn't hold though the next time I power on my device.

You could remove TouchWiz Home with TiBu, then it has no choice but to use Easy Launcher.

Easy launcher is on the GS4 by default (correct me if I'm wrong).

Update: it is not just the launcher, no app defaults are saving.

Do a test... Get nova or apex... See if they stick... Then you'll know if its a launcher issue... Whether or not they get saved to the launcher or the ROM...
The issue still persists. I know that other people have had this problem.
