i am sure that would help alot of people, so if possible then i wouldent mind
better figure out this root then.
oh also, how do you start a new launcher, on my desire you just had to hold down the menu, and you would be able to chose it. On the samsung you just get search, if you hold down menu, so how do i launch adw launcher ? (or any other launcher)

Menu, settings, applications, manage applications. Find the TW one, and do a "clear defaults". Now tap home and it will ask you which you want.

Thanks

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

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.

I love the Sense rom, but the default lookscreen is unusable if you put your HD2 in the jeans pocket.
I wonder if is possible to have a Sense rom with the default froyo lockscreen instead of the standar one.
I tryed many lockscreen apk from the market, but they didn't work, always have crash or the default sense slider to asnwer a call (and that is the real problem )
I think that is a common problem for many many HD2 users, and a good solution could be appreciate from everyone.
Could some developer try to realize a Sense rom with the original Froyo lockscreen?
Thank you and sorry for my poor English
its easy... get root explorer, go to root>system>apps
then search for HTC Lockscreen.apk and delete both the apk file and the supporting odex file, reboot your phone, and youre done.
EDIT: warning, however if you use your phones alarm clock, the built in HTC lockscreen has the dismiss, and the snooze button built into it, so once deleted, you will not be able to turn off the alarm, you will have to either shut down the phone, or pull the battery and reboot.

You right. But with all this trick you always have something not working.
I would like (and I think I'm not the only one) to have a Rom with all working.
how about searching for a replacement lockscreen with a slider that goes from side to side,like s2u2/iphone so it won't unlock in your jean pocket?
check this one out! http://www.appsbeyond.com/apps/screen-suite
For me deleting "HTC Lockscreen.apk" solve 50% of the problem. It solve only the default lock screen, but when you get a call, the "Call LockScreen" left as it was (up to down).
After some playing I found that deleting the "HTC" apk and installing "Full Screen Caller ID" from the market solved 98% of my accidental phone answers
there must be an option to use the stock call lock, without installing apps which cost money or have the permissions to services with cost.

I think that the problem is the sense lockscreen apk, if you do not delete it you always have some problem with lockscreen.
I wonder if deleting the apk I'll go back with the stock froyo slider also for answering or not.

Install ""DIY Lockscreen" from the market. One of the options is to have the stock lockscreen (called 'android jog' there) and it's great and far more responsive than sense

From there you can pick what you want the home button to do...hope this helps man..

Ok now I see the problem. Using home switcher when selecting my default home app it is not keeping the adw launcher. For some reason it is reverting back to the stock android launcher.
Fix its, just cleared everything in manage apps...
A problem i have
I just installed ADW launcher on my tab and for whatever reason the damn "menu" icon won't go away on my homescreen. Its right next to the multitask button and it refuses to go away. I have seen many people who use adw not have this problem any ideas?

When you first installed adw and pushed the home button for the first time, you should have been given an option (pop up menu) to either go to the stock launcher or adw, and under those two options theres a checkbox to make it your default choice. You may have accidently checked it and went to the stock launcher.
I'd try going into settings/applications/all and find the stock launcher and if you select it than there should be an option to clear defaults for that app.

I know the last few updates for adw has had some issues so I'm not sure if this is one that people are complaining about.
But what I did was create a shortcut to show/hide the action bar.
Just long press the screen, than go to launcher actions and select hide/show action bar. I also replaced the icon with a transparent png so it's invisible on my screen.

I see what youre saying.
This must be something they added with the latest updates, but I can see why they did. If you use adw on a phone pressing the menu button brings up options for the launcher. These options are customizable by the way and actually come in handy. So maybe their just trying to make it more uniform to phone versions.
But I dont think theres any way you could get rid of it, adw is calling for the os to display the button, so unless theres a setting with in the app or unless you edit the apk youre stuck with it lol. The older versions like the one Im running now dont have this, so thats why you didnt see other users with the issue.

Solution.
I have been using ADW Launcher EX version 1.3.3.55 and I think this solution will work with other/older versions as well.
Search the Market for: Home Manager. Once you install and run this app it will give you the option to clear default then select the the default home you want. I've been using this myself and can assure you it works. I suppose it enables a service that ensures the default home settings 'stick'. Anyway once you're done and it works then you can disable the the status/notification bar option in the app as it doesn't need them running to function properly. Happy Home Skinning!
Hi,
Did you noticed that it takes about 2 seconds (!!) to reach home screen when pressing the home button from any application.
It's happening only on Sony Ericsson launcher so this is pure launcher oriented.
I realy like the SE launcher and don't want to give up and move to another.
Is there any solution for this issue ??
Thanks !!
Try V6 Supercharger.
And post in the correct section and use the search function!
Thanks .
But is that actually solving the SE Launcher's Home Button 2 seconds lag ?
I did search but couldn't find any post talking specifically about that.
Usually it should fix the issue, because among other things it lock the home in memory.

Thanks for the fast answer .
Do you mean that Go launcher, for example, is already memory locked ?
While SE launcher is not, and that is the reason it takes about 2 sec ?
If you already installed that, how much time it takes you to reach home screen from within another app (Whatsapp for example) ?

I'm not really sure about that, but I think so.
That's definitely.
I'm not using Whatsapp, but usually it responds instantly and don't have to refresh the apps/widgets on the homescreens (or you won't recognize it).

Hey guys,
Whenever I restart my phone (or turn it on), a dialog pops up asking me to select my default launcher. I select it and press always.
The next time I turn on my phone, the same popup appears even though I selected always.
How come the defaults aren't sticking?

Also helpful; Does this happen for all app defaults or just the launcher and if just the launcher, which one are you trying to make default?
