If you go to "Menu -> Settings -> Apps -> Manage apps" and choose the "All apps" tab, find HTC Sense and then choose "Clear standards" that should do it. (My menu is Danish so these menu points might not be entirely correctly named)
When you press the "Home" button you can choose which launcher you want to use.
Not completely sure if this is what you meant by disabling Sense - this way you can use another launcher but Sense will still be there.
Otherwise I believe you will have to root and install a different ROM.

Cheers mate ..
1st i have selected to force close htc sense and then directly press the HOME button . when doing so sense just restarts .
when i press the clear all data button , it clears all data and then starts ( reloads sense ) and then i start from the beginning .
I guess i have to install a launcher in order to use my phone without sense ?
basically what i would like to try out is just to use the standard interface , without send would it look like this

Of course I should have checked before posting but it seems the option to choose Android home has disappeared updating to Froyo...
Before when doing as I described I could choose between stock Android home, HTC Sense and Launcher Pro - now I can only choose between the latter two.
However, I can definitely recommend Launcher Pro. It improved responsiveness so much in Eclair that I haven't even bothered to try out Sense after updating although I guess I should
Launcher Pro is only other launcher I've tried so others might be just as good but if you want to try something other than Sense I wouldn't hesitate

Home Switcher's a good app for this.

A Dumb Que abt my DHD !!!

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

How to clear notifications with 3rd party apps

Hey when I use go dialer its not clearing out missed calls I have to go into the original one to make them go away using the latest cyanogenmod . Reason I use go dialer is that the original one don't have smart searching.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Yeah, I just noticed this, as well, that it doesn't clear the missed calls notification. Strange, as it does work with Go SMS. Odd...
By the way, you're using a Desire HD? So do I and the original dialer does have smart searching. You can either press the numbers if you know part of the phone number or you can press the letters of a name and it will find that as well. And with press I mean 'tap' of course.

Are You talking about stock ROM or cyanogenmod when you say the dialer has smart search
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

The stock ROM. CyanogenMod's dialer doesn't support smart search.

Any fix for that? got the same problem that it doesnt clean the missed calls...

Dialer one has the option to clear missed calls, try it out, see if it fits you...

Yeah it works but I want to stick with go contacts

I have the same problem. I'm using Go Contacts EX and its really frustrating to open native phone app, just to clear missed call notifications
still nobody found a solution? I'm using CyanogenMod 7.0.3-DesireHD

Download Titanium Backup, navigate to Go Contacts in the app list in TB, and long press it, then select "Convert To System App". That will allow Go Dialer to clear the missed call notification!

Changing default dialer

This may not be specific to the S4 but is there a way to change the default dialer to Go Dialer. I don't care much for the default dialer's aesthetics and would like to use something more customizable. I haven't had any luck. The only options I get after clearing the defaults for the stock phone and contacts app is Phone and my Sophos.

Go.

Im guessing your talking about Go Contacts EX while on your dial pad hit your menu key themes and you can download some I like the Iceblue Theme.

Im referring to changing the default dialer from stock to go contact/dialer. Even when intiating a call from go contacts the stock dialer and sophos are the only options I get to select from after defaults are cleared from the stock phone and contact apps

I'd like to know how to do this too, trying to use Dialer One as the default dialer, but I see no way to modify this.

I have the same problem. Just got Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. Dialer I am using to setup - Rocket Dial Pro version.
But there are only are only Phone and Skype apps in "Complete action using" dialog box.
Tried to reinstall Rocket Dial, add/remove from device administrators. I must admit, phone IS NOT rooted!
I will try to contact Rocket Dial developer, as I am using commercial version.

Likewise Motorola XT910

Similar RocketDial problem with Motorola XT910 (except different "complete action using" options).
Any useful response from developer? Thanks.

Change default messaging app

Hey all. I am running a stock 9505 and want to use messages+ as my main SMS app but when using any 3rd party SMS widgets when I tap a message it opens in the Samsung messaging app. Is there any way to change this without root?
I am no stranger to rooting but I want to stay stock till my 30 day early failure warranty runs out

Setting > Apps > all > messages < disable it

Tried that. Now when I press a message on any of the widgets nothing happens at all.

Hi,
Does message+ not have its own widget?

Unfortunately not

Hi,
And Android Pro Widgets does not have an option to choose message + as its source?
If there is no such option ,then, you should email the maker of the app to either fix it,or show you how to do it.

send from stock contacts app once or reset defaults for stock messaging
I was going to suggest clearing the defaults for the stock messaging app in the application manager but mine was grayed out. I installed the messages+ app (just got my S4 and want a decent replacement anyway) amd then opened the stock contwcts app and sent a text to someone from there. I was given a choice of apps and picked messages+ and "always" instead of "just once." Then I found the widget and put it on my home screen. The correct app now opens. I hope this keeps working and works for you too. Your clear defaults may not be grayed out though since you already have another messaging app installed. I didn't. And if this messaging app is good, thanks for the recommendation! I'm new to Android.
