I've looked 'n' read around and messed with the various theme apps but haven't been able to find any method to change the default Sense Home "All Programs" lower left triangular button function to display Mail or Messages. These are the two apps I use far more than anything and find myself having use of them on every screen.
I'd really love some way to either open something other than default or better, some way to remove the + button and add another like the left arrow there too so both of them can open Mail and Messages.
Any way that its possible? Thanks.

Install Helix 2 from the market. You'll lose Sense but you can make a tool bar on the bottom of the screen that holds 4 apps.
Thanks...
Tried that priorly, not really what I'm after here. Definitely not replacing Sense and my current config on it except for that lower bar. That is all I'm after tweaking.

You don't 'Lose' it at all, Sense is still there and you get asked to choose between the 2 anytime you do anything until you make one default.. even then, sense is still running in the backgound unless you manualy shut it down.
You're right. I just gave some of the variants a try including Launcher, HelixLauncher, Home ++ but it looks as if what I thought was HelixLauncher 2 was HelixLauncher. 2 is definitely quicker for me and better suited but still no way of adding one or two select apps which scroll open/close with such a lower bar menu button on any home screen you're on. Just as the All Programs do on Sense.

Just FYI, Home++ has two such buttons on the lower bar for opening all programs and bookmarks but they're not remappable to a function or app you'd like (which is what I'm after).

I found out, that you can add the older android version sites to the phone without rooting it..(maybe some of you already know this)
okej.. so go to:
settings/application(s)/manage applications/then you get to a list of applications, find htc sense and click it/ then click on clear default, then click on the home buttom, and you should be able to choose home or htc sense.. click on use by default for this action, and then choose the one you want to use as normal..

tried the Home and other main screen apps but HTC sense is king for now
(is just installed home via APK and i could switch with the home button long press)
Didn't know that. Thanks.
There were four switches on one of the screens when I hard reset my Aria. GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi, and Airplane. I accidentally removed one of them and can't find them to readd them. Does anyone know where to find them? Stock Sense... for now.

Long press the screen then widget>settings>select the one you want.
My last Intruder was a Grumman A-6E.
It's actually widget/Power Control.
The OP said they removed one of the switches. Power control widget is one large widget. Unless you can remove one part of that widget, the OP must be referring to what I posted. Furthermore, the Power control widget has 5 functions, not 4.
Those are the ones. Thanks!

exactly.
the reason the OP can't find them, is because the "settings" widgets are hidden until you select "settings"
When I hold an app icon and try to add it to my home screen, I select the option "add to home" and it send me to my home screen without any kind of icon. Help?

Sounds like your home screen is already full. Try moving some of the apps from your main home screen ( the middle one) and place them elsewhere. If the middle one is filled up, it will usually just take you to the home screen and not carry the shortcut for the app forward.
Else, try moving to an empty home screen(any except the middle one) and push and hold down on an empty space. Then, you will see an option saying "Shortcut" or something. Click on it, choose "application" and then select the app you want on that specific home screen and it will just carry it to that empty space you selected earlier.

If you have a home replacement app installed(launcherpro, adwlauncher, etc.) uninstall it and then try. Had the same problem, uninstalling the replacement launcher fixed it. Blur is garbage.
i just had pretty much the same issue. i just installed Go Launcher and the only way to add things onto the home screen is to hold down on the home screen you want to add to, then press add application and then there's a check list for the apps you want to add to that screen.
i know it's off topic, but blur does suck, i was okay with it until i tried other home replacement apps, went back to blur and it physically hurt.
Thanx guys but im perfectly aware of how to add stuff to the home screen and
When its full or not. As for launchers I have 5 different launchers installed including stock MOTOBLUR and I use home switcher for froyo. So for the time being ill just work with a lil' ADW here and a lil' launcherpro. Thanx anyway guys

Is there anyway to remove the doc icon messaging and replace it with another? I've looked and looked not sure if it can be done. Does anyone know I don't want a different launcher.

figured out gotta be in applications and press the preferences button on left of home button.

Remember to go MenuButton>Save after you're done, otherwise it throws away your changes.
Pressing the back button will save the change as well.

This was driving me crazy today. I wanted to move Phone icon to middle so it is easier to reach one-handed, and put Camera icon on dock.
I finally found a post in the Epic 4G forum that explains the process. Works the same for Gnote. This should really be in the Gnote User Manual!
Application>Menu>Edit - drag out what you don't want, drag in what you do want - then Menu>Save to seal the deal.
Is it possible to set the setting button on this rom? There is no option for it.

Can you clarify a little? I don't get what exactly you want to do.
I think he means the menu button on navbar.. Long press latest button for menu

Its redundant now since nearly every app has the 3 dots menu on top right
I personally like it on the bottom and I'm sure a bunch of others do too.
Keep pressed the recent button and you will have menu settings.

What if you want to quickly change settings in Nova, or one of many other apps? Long pressing the recents button is very convenient.
I still like to have the good old menu button there, I got used to it and I don't want to move my finger all the way to the top and have to grip the phone differently to hit menu..
So my order of buttons is this(from the left) - recent - back - home - menu -
I use g2 xposed to do that... So untill I can modify this on the g3 rom i will keep using the cloudyflex rom.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
G2 Xposed is the best way to do this, but won't work with that ROM. Also I wouldn't get used to having that button. Google will likely pull the code in the next version or two so even ROM developers couldn't effectively make a consistent experience. It's only in there for backwards compatibility now for phones with the physical menu button.
