So lately I've been having an issue with any launcher I set as default. I'm rooted S-off running Iced Glacier 1.1.6 and just about every time i push the home button I get asked which launcher I'd like to use, no matter which I set as default...So I wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache and when that didn't work I did a data/factory reset and reinstalled Iced Glacier 1.1.6....any one else come across this?
Thanks in advance
Ditto here, can I push ADW to overwrite the sense launcher? if yes how. This is a real PIA.

Just asking to make sure, but are you selecting the "set as default launcher" checkbox before you make your selection? That box must be ticked for your selection to stick.

I have selected it. It sometimes holds for a bit but aster using a few apps it starts asking again.
I actually had same issue with my g1 running cyanogen mod when I installed the market version.

Try using an app from the market called home switcher. It makes it easier to switch default launchers and may help locking yours in. Don't know but it's worth a shot.

The other option you have is deleting the launchers that you are not using.
I tried home switcher for froyo. And home smack, still same. I'll try backup, wipe and only install adw tonight, see if that makes a difference.

I be careful though, i don't know what it'll do to the rest of the sense framework since everything is tied together.

hi, im perm rooted with s=off and a clockwork recovery, when ever i default a launcher with the app "home switcher" it never sticks. i was wondering if anyone else has the same problem
Home switcher says right in the download that it doesn't work with Froyo... however, it does work with some ROMS better than others as I've been playing with on my Evo for about 4 months. Sometimes it acts just like you describe. Sometimes it lets me actually stick with a default. Blame the author... he isn't updating it.
Oh wow thanks I didn't even see that lol but yeah I switched to homeshack and it works!

Actually, it does work with Froyo even though it says that in the Market (that's probably the official line, so we can't ***** about it). If you read comments & online there are plenty confirmed working w/Froyo.
I had it on my MT4G and it worked fine until I permrooted w/S=OFF. Now any time the phone restarts I have to choose the default launcher again.
So, OP is correct, but since it's officially not supported... Glad you found an alternative.
oops didnt refresh page before posting
Fyi, I've tried Home Manager and it doesn't stick either.

Home Switcher has an app made for Froyo (HomeSwitcher for Froyo) I use it and it works very good. There is an added step to take before it sticks but it never fails.
Why do you need a home switcher? Its not hard to change defaults through your settings.

Set LauncherPro as default and reboot the phone. (I´m not sure but it should work)

Go to Settings--> applications. Scroll down to HTC Sense (or look for Sense) and Stop it and erase data.
Make sure you don't start Sense after doing this, so go directly to Launcherpro
You can also freeze it with Titanium Backup, so it won't be running.

One of our customers had that issue and it turned out his screen was somehow messed up and causing the issues with HTC Sense Fc'ing. Have a tech take a look at it.
I have had this happen to me. First back up your apps using titanium backup then wipe data and then restore the apps. This got rid of my sense fc issue.

I would try wiping and re-flashing the ROM from recovery. If that doesn't work, try wiping rotate stats from recovery.
Which launcher are you using?
If you are using ADW I think there is a setting in the ADW settings that is something like System Persistent. If that is checked the phone wont rotate.
Can't remember for sure but I would have a look.

He can check but normally that option doesn't stop the phone from rotating inside apps.

I think that perhaps you have more important issues to deal with instead of the orientation for your device. If you keep posting threads in such a manner people won't take you seriously. Like myself. Good luck to you.

When you install another launcher app sense launcher can be frozen in titanium backup. But it shouldn't run on its own because it hasn't been called by the system to run.

Oww ok. But one more thing. Why install a sense ROM if your gonna install a different launcher ? Wasn't sense roms meant for there widgets.
Also when froozen, sense apps disappear like clock music etc.

I like to switch to different launchers on sense sometimes so I don't have to flash a different ROM to change things up once in awhile. I'm starting to think aosp is just too boring for me. I like sense and miui lately.

The Sense camera is phenomenal, it's part of the reason I get drawn back to Sense. There's more to Sense than just a launcher, ya know
