Hey gang,
I need a reset app just like the one Artemis bundles on his ROM. I switched roms recently and all the reset apps I've tried lately either display some kind of screen giving you various options or ask you if you are sure you want to reset.
I prefered the old one that was just an icon and the phone just resets when touched no questions asked and no pop up boxes.
Can anyone help?

Ok, i have an elf. of the phone variety.
No funny hats or curly shoes with bells on.
On the third panel of the HTC today screen,
the app launcher, it will no longer add anything.
I can click on the plus icon, and it will show me
a selecion of programs to add, but after clicking
"select" or "ok" it still wont show the item in
the launcher.
Anyone else had this problem?
More importantly, has anyone got a solution?
(and i have searched the forum. found nothing)
LOL....no really? I thought you actually got one of santa's little helpers
Hmmmm....never heard of that one. Did you make any changes to the phone recently? Install something, flash a new ROM? Have you tried soft resetting the phone? Also try to disable the HTC home plug in and then try to re-enable.
well, i did capture one a couple of years ago, but some rights organisation said it was politically incorrect for me to keep it, so i had to let it go.
anyway.
ive not changed the rom in any way. ive only just got it a couple of days ago.
but ill now try disabling it and enabling it again. see if it helps.
thanks for the idea
ok, nope, turning the htc home off and on again didnt work
and i didnt really keep anything and pretend it was an elf.
my previous comment didnt come out sounding sarcastic enough.
any other ideas?
If you havn't got HTC Home Customizer = get this and install on your device.
Not only can you customize the HTC Home plugin to make it prettier you can also add your app shortcuts through HHC and see if they will add that way.

This is the link to HTC Home customizer XDA - This link aslo has link to official site - it is freeware and worth downloading and installing anyways.
well, thats a prety fantastic program. Ive finally been able to get rid of that weather tab that i never use.
Sadly, whenever I try to add anything to the app launcher through the htc home customizer, it throws an error and closes.
???
:edit:
Fiddle-De-Dee
Just played with it some more and got it working ok.
i was making a silly mistake with the HHC.
Thanks for your helps folks.
sounds like something got really messed up on your device, probably a registtry change or another app is causing conflict.
Did you get this device brand new?
Have you installed anything recently? If so Try uninstalling it and see if it is working properly now?
Have you been playing around with changing registry settings? If so, try changing things back to the way they were originally.
Maybe if you got the device used, someone else had made these changes.
A hard reset will reset the device back to factory settings and may solve your problem. Unfortunately, you will loose everything you have put on your device, apps, contacts, any customization. You may want to look into backing up some of your data before performing the hard reset. Once hard reset is completed, you can add your custom apps again and start customizing again. No big deal really if you have not done much with your device yet. I have had to do it twice on my device - Just time consuming since I had a lot of customizing already done and had to redo it. Now I know to back up my data before doing a hard reset.
edit: I was typing this reply before you edited your post. Glad to hear that you got it working. Enjoy
Already posted this in Q & A but thought I'd post it here too so more people will see it...
Hey guys, got a problem here that hopefully someone could help me with, I have searched through the forum and I've not seen any similar issues posted by anyone else.
My phone is the Touch HD, running the stock ROM from when I first got it out of the box.
Basically I can not get into messaging at all, if I try to access 'Messaging' or 'Mail' through Touch Flo 3D then Touch Flo just resets itself and if I go to 'Start > Programs > Messaging' then nothing happens when I click on the icon.
The most recent applications I have installed are the new Opera beta, Resco Radio and a dog whistle application, I have since uninstalled all these thinking that would fix the problem but it's not.
I phoned HTC today and they said to clear storage on the phone which then obviously does a hard reset.
I don't mind doing this but it's obviously a pain to go through and backup all my data, I'm just trying to find a way to fix my problem without doing a hard reset first.
Saying that though the device has also been running a bit slow/sluggish over the past couple of months and if I am going to do a hard reset then I might just start using a custom ROM.
Hope someone can help.
Sounds like you answered your own question ha ha go ahead FLASH
I've searched the forums all day and there doesnt seem to be an answer, basically when i turned on my HD2 today it would not load Sense on startup, it keeps trying then eventually comes up with "Unable to start HTC Sense, tap here to try again" i've tried that about 30 times and still nothing! anyone have any ideas of how to get it to start? (checked my startup folder and there isnt much there)
I had this once, after installing and uninstalling a mod which fu**ed up the system (don´t remember which one). Only a hard reset could cure, but then again, maybe a much more experienced WinMo user could have solved it better...
I had a similar problem where I would re-start my HD2 and it would get to the screen where it loads Sense then it would re-boot. This would keep going round in cicles until I removed the battery.
It turned out to be MobiReg 1.11. I had to do a hard reset and not re-install this app.
I hope this helps.

Hi, I am author of that application and I must confess that this is first news that my application can cause this. If you are in mood for debugging, I would like to verify that issue and to discover root cause of this behavior.
I ran into the same problem with my HD2 with this app. Although mobireg did install and run for a while just fine on it for a while. So I think the cause of it was another program which I had installed. It was more for an older windows mobile version and I don't think it was for sense either. I don't recall the name of it but after I installed that my HD2 started to restart over and over. And after I wiped it clean it would still restart over and over whenever I had reinstalled mobireg.
If you have CHT, try reinstalling it. Has worked for myself and others.

I second it...It worked for me..
I'm having the same problem I've checked and unchecked HTC sense, re-booted, removed battery, re-installed CHT and still nothing is working. I go from one problem to another with this phone and i'm no computer wizard but a phone shouldn't be this much hard work.
If you've tried all the possible solutions in this thread and had no luck then Im afraid its hard reset time...
Any recent installs or did it come out of nowhere? (CHT / sense mods??)
edit, just noticed your cht comment.
Try installing a different version of cht.....(older or newer depending on which one you used last)
Long shot but you never know.....
Also try logging out of HTC peep and disabling the twitter tab from "settings - personalise - sense tabs"
just in case that up to its old tricks.........
Hi,
I've looked on the forum and can't find any answers to this one so apols if it's been asked before......
I'm not sure if it's something I've installed or a registry setting that I've changed from the tweaks list but every time I try and open the youtube app that came installed on my t-mobile UK HD2, the app won't load. It pops up the screen for 0.5s and then it goes off again.
I've tried installing a new version of the WVGA youtube app and this does the same. It also makes no difference if I'm on 3G or wi-fi, the app starts up, displays "Downloading" and then the screen reverts to the home screen.
I've done soft resets but to no avail - I don't want to do a hard reset if at all possible.
Has anyone experienced this and overcome the problem ?
Thanks,
Inclement

There's an ongoing discussion about getting the youtube app working on T-Mobile provided HD2s. Apparently if you get it working then it stops some other video functions working.
Do some more searching (I'm sure you searched before opening this thread) to find that discussion as it will no doubt be the best place to start.
Hi,
I updated my S5 LTE+ to Android 5.0.
All is doing well, but one thing make me crazy. I can't set default application and don't find the reason.
Every time I push the home button I get asked which launcher I wanna use and I set the one I want for every time. But after a while I get asked again - but didn't delete the setting or used the other launcher.
Yes I can uninstall the second one, but it is the kid mode app which I like for my kids.
Does somebody know where the default app setting is stored? Possible a rights problem there? Possible I can reset the place where settings are stored...?!
I have root and good shell/Linux knowledge.
Thanks,
Thomas
I had the same bug with 5.0, couple updates and it's better but not fixed
You might want to factory reset too if you updated from KK to LP, fixes a lot of issues

I did a complete reset before and after flashing. But this setting must also stored somewhere. So that u can simulate a mini reset.
