Why does my launcher always close every time I go back to the home screen? I don't have anything that might kill it.. I'm using ADW EX. Is there an option I can set it to so it won't be killed? I can't find one :/

OK, i was trying not to take any updates but i had a few problems with the battery draining fast so i thought it may help me there... care about my battery lasting all day..
anyways...
maybe im missing something but after this last update, i cant use ADW... i can use it but every time i hit the home button i go back to sense.. i dont want to use sense.
i like to use the home button to open my app drawer.. and i hide everything, the taskbar and dock.
i didnt have this "problem" before this last update. just wondering if i am missing something...
normally when you install a diff launcher like this it will ask you what you want to use but it doesnt even ask that now.
anyways... any thoughts?
nope no way
Didn't think so. Thank you for taking the time To answer.

Not sure why it isn't checking with you on initial install of the HomeScreen replacement, but just install Home Switcher for Froyo off the app market and you can set which one you want it to default to, no matter how many HomeScreen replacement apps you have. And you can switch between them with it any time you like.

has nothing to do with updates, u can use ADW with any update,because its just a launcher.....
all you have to do is go to setting applications, go to htc sense (theres 2, use the one with the sense home screen icon) and hit clear defaults
if you have trouble finding that, just download a free homescreen program, like laucher pro or go launcher. install those, then , when u hit the home button again, it'lls ask you which one to use. choose ADW and click this "remember my choice button". then ADW will stick
i use ADW myself works fine
p.s. then you can delete the launcher pro and go launcher (its only used to bring up the prompt to choose which launcher to use)
p.s.s. the only other way to undo an OTA is to flash the rom with an older one.but you cant do that until you have root and/or s-off)
That's the thing, I install adw and hot home to set it... It doesn't ask which I want to use... I can use adw but when I hit home it goes back to sense.
It didn't do this till I did the update cause I was using adw from day one.
I always have it when I use adw that when I tap the home button it opens my application drawer... Does work anymore
I uninstalled adw and tried again with no luck

You have to clear the defaults like the poster above you said it's not the ota.
Also if you installed other apps that mess with the home button it could be on of those as the default. If you install a new launcher or remove and re install adw you will get the prompt again to set your default launcher.

ok, but did you install the other home launchers? (that will force you to select a launcher the next time you hit the home button)
after you install ADW, did you clear the defaults for the sense launcher?
you need to do 1 or both of these things if you want this to work
I would like to achieve the following:
I start an app from the app-drawer;
Use it for a while;
When I exit the app (via back button), I get back to the app-drawer and not the homescreen.
Is it possible? Maybe one of the many fine homescreen replacements?
It's not possible. Launchers are made to close their drawers when apps are launched. That's the reason why it's closed when you return to your homescreen.
Has anyone had a problem after you download a new launcher and it installs it will give you the option to start it or use the stock. But if you do not start it and hit the home button it will Disappear and not give it as an option by hitting the home button after that. Its on my app list but i have no way to restart it.
Any Ideas? Never had this problem on my HTC inspire..

Never had that problem, but do switch between launchers all the time by using Home Switcher. Free in Android Market
Try resetting the defaults for all the launcher apps. (Launcher, Go Launcher, ADW Launcher, etc). This way, the next time you hit home, it will ask you again what launcher you want to use.
Sometimes when I go to the stock launcher, I just get my wallpaper.
The screen is totally blank and I cannot access my home screen or the app launcher.
Has this happened to anyone else?
I have two Archos Android tablets that do that regularly. They do recover after some 10s of seconds. The Archos tablets are rather weak in the CPU department, which I think causes their hanging lags getting back to the home screen. My Prime never does that. Do you have some odd non-default settings or possibly some big nasty animated wallpaper? Could you have some application running in the background hogging a lot of resources?
I'd be tempted to perform a factory reset and reinstall all my apps. I basically did that when I upgraded from my original Transformer to my Prime. Amazon and the Android Marketplace had all my stuff, so it was not such a big deal.
Bye.

This was happening to me when I had the ASUS Task Manager widget running. I'd swipe to the screen that had it running and Launcher would crash. Then all home screens would go blank and I'd need to force close the Launcher to get things back to normal.
I removed the Task Manager widget, and mine hasn't done it since. So, if you have that widget running, you might try getting rid of it.
anyone experiencing slugginess? my phone seems to lag a little. when i close a app and go to homescreen each icon apprears one at a time sometimes.
That's the TW launcher re-loading after being free'd from memory that was used for other apps.
If you don't want this, you can replace it with Apex Launcher and use the "keep in memory" setting to prevent the re-loading of the launcher.
