I'm using NoSense rom, LeeDroid HC 4.3.0 applyed sense stripper.
Well.. when I used Sense, I just tapped a personal setting icon on main launcher and could change apps on lockscreen at this menu. However, now, I can't find this setting menu so...how can I change apps on lockscreen?

I don't think there is a way to access the personalize menu without the sense launcher. At least, I have looked and can not find any way to access it except the button on the launcher. This might be a bug worth reporting to Lee.
yea I believe you need to do it using the sense launcher then you can use an alternative. I wonder if you can freeze the sense launcher using titanium after you have made the change
Thanks, devator.
I'm using Golauncher HD and, now, there's no lockscreen, suddenly... I don't know what's happened So I think I sholud reinstall the rom and I'll back to Sense anyway.
And, thank you for your advice about titanum, mcord. I'll try it later

Hope this is a good place to ask this.
Ok I Love the HTC Widgets and Framework.. But I absolutely hate the Launcher it has.
Is there anyway to keep the HTC Framework but have a Different Launcher for it. Id love to use Launcher PRO or Zeam. Either one or something similar.
apparently this is an extremely difficult task and to my knowledge nobody has been able to do this on any phone ever. so chances are no. I would love to use zeam too but i think we are stuck with what we have.
This has been asked too many times. Answer no. replacement launcher pro paid version.

Its possible, you have to remove ever applications dependace on HTC.resources.apk and make every application individual on its own instead of depending on another framework... This way it would show up on every launcher but... Too much work for something so little

I think by "launcher" the OP means the "home" or desktop. IE he wants HTC Sense, but with say the bottom 5 icon setup that Go Launcher, LP, or ADW use, and maybe the ability to change the grid.
Thanks for the information. I was wondering this myself.

Fancy widget pro has the clock widget. The only difference is that it doesn't flip. It's one of the custom skins.

Wondering especially if folks who had been using say ADW or LauncherPro have now opted for Sense and how they like comparatively.

HTC Sense, not because I want to, but because with our phones not being rooted, and HTC Sense being so deeply integrated, it is almost pointless to run another launcher, as they both will be running at the same time no matter what you set as default.

umm..this is not true... Like any launcher, if you are not currently using Sense as your default launcher it does not run. Sure HTC still has processes and what not running on the phone. Mostly for their integrated apps. But the widgets and launcher itself are not using memory if they are not running.
sense... if I didnt want to run sense I would get the nexus... I know everyone has a preference but why get the greatest phone on earth and take away its soul?
adw ex ehh jk sense
Don't like sense since I can't hide the taskbar and dockbar. So I use adw x

I have licenses for ADW EX and Launcher Pro, and I'm sticking with Sense for now. I also have SPB launcher, and may try that one out.
The phone has just been solid and run very well with the stock browser so I figure why mess with it.
Great thing though with the quick settings in the pulldown menu you don't have to worry about finding widget replacements for the radios anymore when you switch launchers.
So far I have stuck with Sense. I have not been a fan of Sense in the past and have a paid subscription to ADW EX. In my opinion I have never used a phone that had the hardware capabilities to run Sense the way it is meant to be ran, until now. the 3DEV0 is more than capable of running it and runs it quite well actually. I may still give ADW EX a shot, but for now I am giving Sense a chance to win me over which is something it has not done yet.
Sense...for now

ADW Launcher EX. Sense's bottom bar irritates me too much, and the exceedingly tall vs. wide screen is perfect for a 4x5 layout instead of the 4x4 default.

My processes tell me differently
Started out with SPB 3D Shell, but been using sense the last day or so just to get to know it.... Pretty sweet so far. Probably bounce back and forth.
Started using Nova Launcher with Nils ICS and ran into a small problem.
The Sense Lockscreen that has the 4 shortcuts by default launch Sense and not Nova Launcher, any way to change it? Do I need another lockscreen?
Have you tried removing the Sense APK(Rosie.apk) and see if Nova launches the shortcut properly? I don't use the Sense lockscreen anymore so I can't test.
I just removed the Rosie and it still loads the icon. Even more interesting is that I just deleted the HTC lock screen yet it is still there. Weird

Quick question.....
Is there anyway to use the HTC widgets on this launcher?
Can't find a clock or a music widget anywhere on the launcher.
The dock option is badass though.

I was going to get apex, but then I realized I'd have to redo my entire desktop layout (restoring the /data partition of my Energy ROM did it for me in Sense....lazy lol). Also I kept telling Android to choose Sense by default when I hit the home button, but it kept asking me everytime which launcher I wanted, so I uninstalled apex. Soon as an AOSP ICS Rom is releases, I'm all over apex.

Yeah I was selecting the "do this as default" option when I hit the home key, but it just refused to remember it for me (when selecting Sense as default launcher). Didn't try to make apex the default.

No, if you want OFFICIAL ICS look use trebuchet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410674
The download link isn't working, and I'm pretty sure I can post it without issue.. if you like it hit their thanks button. It is really easy to push into the /system/app folder via adb or with root explorer, es file explorer, etc.
I don't have a quicker/easier way to post it than dropbox http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13692699/Trebuchet.apk
Even though I didn't keep using caprombeta(needs root) I saw the launcher he chose and was very impressed

Finally re-installed Apex, and it was doing the same thing. Every couple of times I hit the home button, it would ask me if I wanted Apex or Sense launcher to load. I fixed this by going into Titanium backup and freezing "[DESKTOP] HTC Sense" if anyone else is having trouble with this.

Tried it, but it didn't work. Freezing Sense worked great though.
I don't think it's just my phone though. I have a friend who has a Samsung Captivate, and I rooted his phone and installed an ICS rom for him about a month ago. I suggested Apex (the rom used Nova), so he downloaded it and has been using it. He recently told me that it keeps forgetting that it's the default launcher, and that he has to tell it again and again. :/
Anyone know how to turn off the sense ui while using Nova Launcher? I am not rooted as of yet and want to do this.
You'll need to root and install the cm10 ROM or install a descended ROM with the ui elements deleted
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
Yeah without root, its not possible. Even a desensed Rom isn't senseless. The ui is integrated into everything, from the dialer to the framework and every stock app in between.

The important thing is that if you haven't taken the 2.04 update yet don't take it.
But if you already took it, you will need to wait for an unlock solution so you can root.
Once you're rooted and unlocked, you can install a Rom like ViperDNA which has a desense installer option and also lets you choose what sense apps if any that you want to disable.
Any other Rom will work too, you will want to install your launcher like nova or apex and then go to settings/apps and freeze the Rosie launcher by freezing the HTC Sense apk.
After running it frozen and getting everything dialed in and working you might want to delete the sense interface (called Rosie) completely.
