I can't figure out how to change default applications. When I go to settings/apps and select some that I think should have defaults are blank.
Specifically I want to remove trebuche as the default launcher so I can use adw again. The other issue with this is that I can't even see system apps in settings/apps.

Download home switcher from market. Easy way to switch launchers. Other way should be to clear launcher cache. Can't remember but I think that clears default setting, then press home to select launcher.

I just installed GDE, wanna give it a try before commiting on it.
Now when I press on the "Home" touch-button it will ask which launcher I wanna use. Kinda annoying.
Of course I can choose to use GDE as default, but before I figure out how to restore to default launcher, I don't wanna do it.
So, any hint for that?
If you choose this app as default fine. If you ever want to get the default launcher back go to settings, applications, manage applications then find the launcher app you are using in the list. Then stroll down page to the clear defaults tab.
Ok so i accidently deleted the menu button that takes you to all the apps. I am running DJ05 and i tried restoring, but its still gone. Any ideas?
What launcher are you using?
Not sure if it'll help since i'm on DI01, using launcher pro, but if you just long press one of the icon locations, choose change shortcut, choose applications. If applications is missing from THAT list, then you'll need a less noob to help ya out.
If you're using ADW, long press the homescreen and select "launcher actions." Then choose "open/close app drawer." Now drag your new icon to the dock on the bottom.

^ Thanks! This Worked Perfect!
Occasionally I lose my dock bar in ADW. I usually fix it by killing ADW in Task Manager (stock) and it fixes itself when it reopens. If that doesn't work, I toggle options in ADW Settings until it comes back.
I don't actually have an app/home button anyhow. I replaced it with google voice search. There is a setting in ADW that lets you Up-swipe for app drawer, so I prefer that.
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
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....
Aloha from Hawaii!
Asking on behalf of some friends from work after they got their updates tonight. They are running unrooted only thing not stock is they were both using go launcher or launcher pro. After the update they cant see the new blur launcher. I went through and cleared there defaults and after pressing home it is not even shown in the list to select it. Any ideas? Was thinking factory reset but if it isnt showing in the list I would think it isnt there.
What list are you talking about? Go to settings > privacy > factory reset

When no default is set and pressing home. Didnt even see it in the manage application list. One of them was wanting to do a reset anyways so Im sure she has done so already.
I recall seeing somewhere that GB automatically makes 3rd party launchers default. If they really want to see the new GB launcher they will have to uninstall LP or golauncher. Not sure about golauncher but launcher pro has a backup feature in the settings of LP.

They can install Home Switcher for Froyo from the Market and use it to launch the default launcher.

hi,
i install ADW launcher, and set that as default launcher - when i pressed home button.
but later i want to change back to original launcher, -- without uninstalling ADW launcher,
how can i do that?
clearing data on HDW launcher doesn't do as what my intention.
thanks
hi, you can do this easily going on settings, ADW lancher, delete default
Or if that's not working try download this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.uninstaller
Then uninstall adw by finding it on the list.
Regards.
