Hi all,
I have changed from the touchflo interface to the standard interface, seems a lot smoother to me (and i like the look) but is there a way to remove all the htc sense apps that are no longer in use?
Or is there a standard Android rom for the Hero?
Cheers
If I just wanted to see what the standard interface looked like, how would I do this?

Normal Android Home On Hero
Here's what to do...
Go to Settings - Applications - Manage Applications.
Scroll down to 'TouchFLO' and hit 'clear defaults'
Obviously this will clear the default action of taking you to the TouchFLO or Rosie UI home.
When you have done this every time you press the home button you will have a choice. Home or TouchFLO.
Now how can you put it (TouchFlow) back to default ?
If I don't want to have the popup when i click the home button ?
Ticking the "make default action" doesn't work for long

To switch back to TouchFLO do the same like in the first procedure but instead of TouchFLO, select the 'Home' app.
Getting the selection screen often is a bug caused by some apps (like task managers etc). Try uninstalling some and re-check.
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!
Hello,
is there any chance to disable Sense on Wildfire? For me is original android more attractive than htc sense.
I found some guides for Desire but don`t know if it works on this phone.
Thanks
why dont u just try it?
you have to uninstall sense in the programs i guess

or if you dont want to remove just navigate to htc sense and click on clear defaults or something similar. then click home you can choose android.
i was a bit worried to use some guides from other phones i m new on android i used 4yrs wm so i need to adapt to android os ... iac thank you for answers !
its easy.
go to settings->Applications->Manage applications->look for HTC Sense->Clear Defaults.
Than only press the Homescreenbutton and your wildfire will ask you, if you want to start the standartscreen or htc-sense. Than you can set new defaults

That's the way I did it! I much prefer the plain Android to the Sense, my only slight issue is that there are only 3 home screens. Does anyone know if there's any way to add more?
What you can also do, when you are in the main home screen:
Select: menu-scenes-and there is an option for a clean scene (in Dutch Schone lei).
When you selected this option, you can put in any widget/ application etc...
You will keep the 5 home screens and change wallpaper etc.
When you have done this all, you can save your scene via the same order (menu-scenes etc).
Good luck!

Just out of interest, does anyone know how you get Sense back after removing is as default?

Yup, that makes "Sense" I apologise for my terrible puns. Thanks for the help!
Guys, this do not work for me... When I Clear Defaults, all that happens is it makes HTC Sense looking "Default," the way it looks when I first turned it on, no choice between Home and HTC Sence.. any ideas?

Did that, but it only sets HTC Sense to default..
Hello,
I have removed the HTC Sense but now how do I put an icon so the dialer should popup ? So that I don't have to click on the Arrow then scroll to People and then make a call.
Thanks.

Go to settings/applications/manage applications, find home and click on clear defaults, press home, it will give you an option for normal home or htc sense home.

so if i was to have normal and didnt like it i could change back to htc sense using what youve said yeah??? (sorry but im new to all this so )
I think you can, if that dont work, try and click clear defaults on htc sense instead of normal home, it should still give you the option when you press home for home, or sense.

Hello,
Is it possible to run Wildfire using bare bones Android OS ? I mean can the bare-bone Android run on Wildfire without the HTC Sense and other stuff that is preloaded ?
If yes then how ?
Thanks.
If you just want to disable HTC sense you can do that via settings. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>HTC Sense>Clear Defaults. This will make you select the home screen between the android basic home and the HTC sense home. You can select either and even make it default. To revert back, do the same for Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Home>clear Defaults.

Hi,
I removed HTC Sense to remove the lag in the phone. It is a bit better now but not that much. Is there any way to optimize the phone so it uses less resources and does'nt lags. Right now the lag is so much. For ex. If a call is coming and I decline the call then also the ring tone keeps on ringing for 2-3 secs.
I do not understand why a phone should lag in its most basic feature ?
Also how to remove the call accept/decline system which is drag type and instead get the buttons ? I would really prefer the buttons instead of the dragging system.
Thanks.
I have a question, probably Dumb for me.....but if someone could help me out..
I installed Launcher Pro Plus on my DHD, but when i pressed the HOME button, it asked me to use " HTC Sense" or "Launcher Pro"..... , i selected "HTC sense" and set is as default. Now i want to use Launcher Pro Plus, but there isnt any app with that name, and there are no settings to use it.
I am sure someone can guide me as how can i set "Launcher Pro plus".
Thanks in Advance.
You can either download "clear default home" from the market or you can go to settings-> applications-> manage applications->all applications and look for HTC Sense (there are 2 apps with this name, take the bigger one). Click on it and scroll down a little bit. There should be a button calles Clear Defaults or something like that (cant tell exactly cuz my rom is in german). After pressing this button press your home button. Now you should be able to reselect your desired launcher

It is surely helpful to me.
Vielen Dank! ..... is it correct in German ?
Perhaps a better option is to download 'Home Switcher' from the market. This will allow you to switch from Launcher Pro to Sense and back (and any other launchers) without having to reset defaults.

Kein Problem and yes, it's correct.
Using home switcher is also an option, but it doesexactly the same as clear default home afaik
