I dont use the stock messaging program. I dont need a contact icon either. Applications I need, of course, lol... Anyway to switch these around?
Not in this version of touchwiz, so no untill custom roms come out. Otherwise, I think there are some manual ways to do it editing a few files in the system.

Replace the stock launcher?
I use launcherpro. Install HomeSwitcher to make swapping back and forth easy as a click.
hey is there anyway you can do like the iphone. 5 row custom quicklunch and 5 row uhh on the base screen? yes i phone rip but it would be so sweet instead of constantly switching screens. i like everything i need on the main screen. thanks
Hiya guys, quick question.
Is there a way to have the Sense style preview (the one where you prress the home key & it shows you all the screens) on Stock 2.2? I'm rooted so it doesn't bother me if I have to flash something. Its the only feature of Sense I like
Thanks in advance

Just get a new launcher. I think Launcherpro and ADW Launcher have it default.

I don't want a new launcher though, I'm loving Stock Android. If its not available just let me know & I will live without, But if I can get it I would be in heaven!
I don't think there's a way to. However, you can set LauncherPro to look exactly like stock 2.2 in the settings.
I think is to pinch the on-screen will show that kind of screen, from the first n1 Rom I used.

Hi, I'm pretty new to the android world, and I know dhd runs on sense, so what would running something like launcherpro do? Is sense removed or is it just running in the background? Oh and must I root? sorry if I sound so noob :X
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
launcher pro is excellent, the best and smoothest android launcher, but has an initial learning curve
It doesn't need root, you can install it and make it the default launcher then restart your phone, once you do the sense launcher will not be loaded neither will the widgets.
but the framework of sense like gallery and mail for example will still be there, which is really a good thing since they are a lot better than stock android apps
No need to root and sense will still be there if you uninstall Launcher Pro..
You may want to look at my thread which is useful, it gives you custom icons and 100's of docks to use..
Its in the apps and themes forum..
I couldn't be without the scrollable dock now..
Ooo! Thanks basically, I install launcher pro, restart phone, and get a 'blank' home page?
What does launcher pro replace then, the 7 home screens? Does the keyboard change?
Will running launcherpro mean more artery consumption? And what do you mean by dock? Oh and, apps, accoubts, calendars all that still remain the same.right? I'll try to search for your thread thanks!
I love this forum thanks so much for bringing this new android user so much advice xD much is appreciated

LauncherPro is a great launcher.
Unlike Sense UI where it drains lots of battery power.
so if i just use it, without rooting, will battery life be drained very dramatically? sense UI doesnt suck battery in the background right?
Linked contacts all those will be gone i presume? if i use launcher pro
Okay, I just downloaded launcherpro free, any way for me to get more widgets,like a clock?

Your best bet is to go to applications in settings then find htc sense. Click on it and select force stop, that will clear the defaults. Then press your home button and tick always choose this option and click on launcher pro. No reboot required

thanks~ now fiddling around with launcher pro, but is there any guide to make my notification bar like the stock one, which is white? or any tips on getting widgets?
I thought beautiful widgets had loads of widgets -_- i bought, and didnt know only is weather. too late to refund ~_~
oh does using launcher pro increase the battery usage? because is the htc sense UI some how running in the background?
I love launcher pro, but I keep getting prompts to set my default home when I use widgetlocker

Using launcher pro has approximately doubled my battery life. I was getting only 2 - 6 hours out of a charge before now 5 - 12. All the things that were burning juice like maps sync, freindstream just dont run constantly anymore.

Notification bar - switch back to HTC Sense, find a theme which has a white top bar, switch to that theme in HTC Sense and then go back to your launcher. You will still get the status bar at the top and lock screen according to your HTC Sense theme settings.
Widgets - well, i think best would be for you to look at this forum :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527
and especially these two themes :

To your other questions - alternative launchers replace just your home, that means the main screens + application list. The rest still runs like if you had HTC Sense home.

Select your home in settings of WidgetLocker (Settings>Behavior>Select System Home or HomeHelper's Launcher, depends if you use HomeHelper or not).
just updated the mrs phone to 2.2 froyo with sense, but am wondering whether it is possible to load froyo without sense without rooting??
Or will HTC not let you because sense is there baby
Nope, you cant disable Sense, but you can download a alternative launcher like the ADW Launcher in Market.

Hi all,
I am stucked by choices.. I love the AOSP ICS rosie UI and features.. but I can't live w/o sense apps and especially HTC Sync. Is there anyway we can have ICS rosie with HTC apps like premium navigation, messages, blah blah and importantly HTC sync ???

AOSP! Speed and efficiency!
It's speed and efficiency, over looks.
I've tried them all, but i always go back to Sense 3.5. (Waiting for stable for daily use 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6)
Well.. I was just wondering if we can have all.. aosp sounds fun but HTC have many widgets and HTC sync to provide the convenience that I need.
Will uninstalling HTC sense do the trick or cause the Rom to Fc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It's all driven by personal choice.
I installed an AOSP ICS rom and I loved it, but ultimately, for me the experience was lacking without Sense. So I dropped back down to GB with Sense 3.5.
I'm waiting for a stable ICS release with Sense, will upgrade then
Well, that's why I'm asking if there is any way to combine both..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I am also a huge fan of Sense. But i'm on IceColdSandwich and really love it for daily use. When there will be a working sense ICS ROM i will switch, but for now i'm going with the AOSP one. You can customize it so that it at least looks like a sense rom
do what I do...keep back up of another rom so if you get twitchy you can flip back etc..actually I have three at the moment .runny 4.0...this is my daily I use this more because of sense...ics just because its smooth and...sweet. and now got absolution.I'm not a gamer so save data etc doesn't matter to me..SMS can be retrieved if needed.contacts are on both so..my 10p worth
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Anyone else find battery life is poorer on sense roms, or is that just me? I'm currently using IceColdSandwich, really nice rom.
Well, an AOSP uses tons less space and ram, so i would imagine the battery life would be immense on that.
I flashed Virtuous Quattro and that used hardly any space in the system partition, where sense Roms use almost all of the space.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough.. what I'm trying to find out here is if there is any sense Rom that is possible to be customised to look like ics without losing the advantages of some sense apps and HTC sync. I'm not into switching roms as I prefer to have one to work as my daily driver.
I know of coz ics Rom can be customised to be as close to sense but without sense kernel, there will still be missing HTC sync and some sense apps.

I've been a sense guy too for a long time but I've recently been following lord's ice cold sandwich rom and I love it more than any sense rom out there.
The great thing would be a rom AOSP
with synchronization, camera and widgets (Sense)
Greetings!
Aosp. I always had sense. But I'm on LC s ics and its great. No more sense for me.

Ok I will put it to you simple. The only way to have sense apps is to use Sense. Non of the widgets work without the launcher being used. All of the apps can be replaced with AOSP versions. Not sure about the navagation as I would never use a phone to tell me where i need to go. Sync seems to be a big deal for you and not sure why. There are far better option out there.
So simply if you want to use HTC apps then you will use Sense.
yeah but depends if he wants the widgets..the apps themselves can still work,your not wrong though,the asop is quicker,battery lasts longer.can customize more,..sadly although i have them on my back ups,im a sense rom junkie,gets on my nerves to be honest. im hoping,with sense 4..they up there game now,sense 3.6 is..just with a few added bits not really an overhaul and its debateable whether because its running ice cream in the background if it will actually make a difference
forgot to say,although you can replace all apps from sense with others in asop.The mail app still in my opinion is one of the leaders for that sort of app. If someone could port that out of a sense rom id be chuffed lol
