What's the adb or terminal code to replace adw with launcher pro?
no codes needed... goto settings>applications>manage applications>ADW>clear defaults. after that click home button and it will let you choose which one you want to use, unless you tap "set as default" it will give you this option every time you hit home button.
I'm trying to remove adw completely tho, I'd rather do it thru terminal or adb

U can with titanium or root explorer. Just delete it. Myself, i freeze it with titanium so it won't show up every rom update
I should have mentioned this is for my buddy running cm7 on his 4g.
Once removed will the new themes chooser app be broken?
Thanks for the tips so far but he's not looking to freeze it, hide it, or mask it. He wants launcher pro as the default and ONLY launcher on his cm7.

U won't break it, and he can just delete it. Only reason i stopped deleting it cause i flash on the regular, nightlies, so when i freeze it, it don't pop up install

I had downloaded and installed a few launchers... in particular adw ex, launcher pro, he, and zeam. I decided to stick with the stock launcher and for some reason, even tho I chose to make the stock my default, after reading the home button a few times, it brings me to the selection dialog. I am running stock firmware rooted with visionary.

Are you talking about the pop up that asks you to select the home launcher? If so, it's because you still have the other launchers installed. You can uninstall the other launchers or you should have a check box at the bottom of the selection pop up (something about use default). Check it and select HTC Sense.

Yeah, I'm talking about the pop-up. And usually when I select one as the default, it works. Hitting home will take me to the home screen, but after a few times, its like it forgets which launcher is default, and brings the popup back up.
Try using Home Manager from the marketplace.
If all else fails, you can always delete ADW and LP
yes, just delete the ones you dont want
My ADW Ex has been going nuts the last few days. A lot of FC.
Its updated to the latest version

ok i figured out how to prove it forgets the launcher. With multiple launchers installed, choose one as your default. Now hold the home button down until the list of recently used apps pops up, now hit the home key.
make sure none of the launchers have been moved to the sd card...
Well at the moment I only have adw installed. Its really starting to piss me off lol. Wish there was a fix.

If you don't want the stock launcher, just remove it. You can do this by deleting Rosie.apk from the /system/app folder. And if you're going to do that, delete all the now useless sense widgets from there as well. That'll make it so that you only have your after market launcher. And if you want to make it a system app, just copy and paste the .apk into the /system/app folder. In theory it should help prevent the launcher stay in memory. This is exactly what I did and my Iced Glacier flies!
Get launcher switcher free from app store... select the launcher you want as default... make sure you CLEAR in the app the old launcher defaults (bottom of page) and Viola your done....

Hi guys,
i have been using default tab home and i want to try other wonderful homes like go launcher and launcher pro.
Could you tell me what do i need to do in order to replace home and once i install new home does it mean it would overwrite my existing home and i would not be able to revert it back to tab default home. Do i need to root my device?

download launcher pro from market
also try ADW launcher
No, you don't need root.
When you dowload it from the Marketplace, the next time you hit your home key your phone will throw up a list of all the installed Launcher/Home applications asking you to choose which one you want to use. At the bottom will be a checkbox asking if you want to "always" use the application you choose.
If you check the always box and later become unsatisfied with that launcher and want to go back to the old one, you can either download something like "Home Switcher" from the Marketplace, or go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications and find your current launcher (the one you last chose to "always" use). Click on the clear defaults button on its page and next time you hit home you'll be presented with the choices again.
Thanks a lot for such a nice reply. I am starting with launcher pro now. Do you have any preferred list of homes?

Panda home is an interesting one to try.
I use ADW Ex myself. I have not used Launcher Pro in months, and never on the tab so I can't speak to its stability or usefulness, but both ADW and Ex have been very good to me on the tab (I like the added features and snappiness of the paid version).
trying out Zeam right now, seems simple and clean. like the swipe to launch feature
For anybody looking for function rather than form, try *Spark. Its in the market

This might be a silly question. But since I upgraded my evo 4g to the latest ova my home switcher no longer works and all I get is the standard sense interface rather than my launcher pro.
I've tried several of the home launcher setting Apps from the market, but they fc and won't let me reset my default launcher.
Is there an easy way to do this somewhere in settings?
I did a search and failed to find this question for the evo 4g.
Thanks

Go to settings > applications > find htc sense and click "clear defaults"
There is also an app in the market called "DefaultApp Reset" that makes the whole process easier for future reference.
or, uninstall LPP, reboot, then reinstall it and you should get the pop up asking you which launcher you want to use
... or buy ADW EX and after the installation you will be prompted to choose a new default lol.
Mattyskin thanks that was what I was looking for.

Hey guys, I really love to have some of the CM7 themes from the Android Themes forum on my Vibrant. I've downloaded a few of them to try out but it didn't seem to work. When I hit apply, my phone didn't look like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021507
Please help me! Btw i'm running CM7 nightly 56 ROM
Well first of all, you have to be using the ADW launcher included with CM7... you can't be using another launcher like Eugene373's Gingerbread launcher... then only your top menu and icons will change.
If you're downloading the apk file you want, then simply installing it, you should be able to go to you apps, select theme chooser (multi colored android guy) and then apply whatever theme it is in there.
If it doesn't work..... you must be the only one who has that problem lol. Shoot me a PM if you still can't figure it out.
ok so the top menu and icons change. How do I get the rest to work?

restart the phone after you select a new theme.
i did that and only its still just the top menu and icons
Your not using adw launcher thats why. You have to go to ur home screen, hit tbe menu key, then go to manage apps. Somewhere k there you will see launcher, you eed to select it and hit clear defaults.
Im not sure if there is an easier way maybe someone knows

it works on my phone with launcher pro. i select the theme, restart the phone, and everything changes.
Just thought someone else might want a different lock screen I found that go locker works great as long as you have go launcher. To install I installed it normally then moved it to system/app and re booted

I have Go Launcher HD installed. I installed Go Locker, but it's telling me I need to install Go Launcher Ex. Go Locker won't work with Go Launcher HD?
I have both installed just pick go launcher had when setting default. I'm trying to see if there is a way to do it without both of them installed but no luck so far
Go launcher ex also needs to be in system/app and re boot after
