Unable to kill Sense using home manager since ICS update? - HTC EVO 3D

on GB I was able to kill and autokill Sense easily with Home Manager. Now, since the ICS update, I am unable to kill Sense at all. Anyone else having this issue?

Go to settings/apps/all and find HTC sense, clear default and when you touch home button a screen should pop up asking what default launcher you would like to use

smooth scroll in app list like og evo??

I've searched around and can't find an answer so it would be great if someone could help or point me in the right direction.
When you in the app menu/app list on the e3d its a page scroll, no more no less... with the og evo it was a smooth scroll and speed determined by strength of the finger slide.... anyway to get that on the evo3d?
Thanks!
That's because the 3vo is Gingerbread and the Evo was Froyo. If you upgraded your Evo to GB than its app drawer would behave the same as the 3vo.
gotcha, that makes sense. well, anyway to get that scroll back??
It is sense 3.0. No way to change it as of now. Not sure if a custom rom will do it either once full root is achieved. Best thing to do is use another launcher like launcher pro, adw, etc. You will lose all your sense Widgets tho. Only way around it right now

You can hit menu in the app drawer and use a list type with a smooth scroll and scroll bar

Maybe if you upgraded to Mikfroyo or another Sense 2.1+ ROM. The stock update didn't do this, it's because of Sense 3 not Android 2.3...
when we get full root, it will be possible to diable the "pagination" in the apps list.
a patch for that has been available on Synergy rom for the Evo 4G, and could very possibly be ported to the Evo 3D

missing htc apps

Is there a way to get missing htc apps like htc notes+widget htc hub flash light app and fm radio as an installable APK without root
Good call, I didn't realize they weren't included..can anyone provide these apks? Or is it as simple as copying them from my Dinc to the SD card and installing on the phone?

TeslaLED in the market is a great replacement for flashlight. Can't get the htc hub.

Yeah, I was wondering where the flashlight widget was after I got to go through my phone yesterday. The greedy bastards at Verizon strike again.
TeslaLED works well enough, but I love the three levels of intensity offered by the HTC widget. I wonder if anyone has done an app that gives you a slider to vary the light intensity.
Haven't tried all the flashlight apps, the market has too many. Once we get root you can use the htc flashlight apk.

The one called LED Light is HTC themed.
I don't see why having root would make a difference for the HTC Flashlight app. Maybe there's a reason that I don't know. I have that apk and it will not install.

Might not be compatable with 3.5.

It's a system apk and will not install except with a root level adb push. It may also need libs that are not there.

I was able to get it to "work" on my phone after sending the apk to my phone and copying it to /system/app using root explorer, however it only works on one level instead of 3 like on the Dinc.
I was able to get the apps needed to install by hacking the manifest but I can't get the htc options to load.
Im still working on it. I got to at least show the get more options on each category

that's not on this phone. it's on every sense 1.0 phone, but not the higher sense ones. all it says is "show all HTC widgets" instead of "get more htc widgets" like it used to..and show all just litearlly shows all of the HTC ones on the phone in one list. annoying.

Yeah we need hub.
from what i can see there are about 5 apps needed for htc hub to operate. i was able to get them to install and myhtc to install by hacking the manifest. there is still something crucial missing. perhaps libs as nils said. hard to trouble shoot without root.
on sense 3.5 it is different. the get more options is on the top right instead of at the bottom like on sense 3.0. as i said i was able to get that to show up but connecting to htc hub caused fc
I did find a flashlight app somewhere but dont remember where and it does fully work. Also couldnt we port over those apps like notes hub and fm radio from a HTC Sensation XL system dump or rom?

Sense crash and restart

Anybody else having this problem. It is usually when I exit an app like a game and all I see is the HTC logo until sense reloads.
Sent from my HTC Rezound
I do. All the time...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I've had that happen a couple of times, but not enough to care. Generally (I think) it is because something is hogging RAM or ROM or something and Sense shuts off to help the phone run more smoothly. You should look at your task manager to see what's running right now and see if there's anything sucking a lot of RAM or ROM. Could be an issue I suppose.
Is there a way to make it where sense won't shut down but other apps shut down when the phone is low on memory.
Sent from my HTC Rezound
I looked at the task manager and the game I was playing was using 210mb of ram and no other apps were open.

That is normal. Sense closes to free up resources. I don't know if you can block it from happening, but if you do, your game will probably lag.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
When we get full root/s-off I bet there will be a way to force the launcher to stay in memory. You can do it with launcher pro. I am not sure however if it is a root only feature.
The game was lagging some then stopped. I guess that's when sense closed.

Sense still closes allot. I willjust hit the home button from my browser and it will show HTC and load sense.
Sent from my HTC Rezound
what other apps do you have installed? Something else might be hogging memory. You can use system panel to see everything that is running (including core processes).
I got about 180 apps and I don't know what one cutoff be doing it. None of them use much ram. Sense uses the most at about 100~220mb

how many widgets are on your home screen??? Sense never runs higher than 60-65mb for me.
This has never happened to me before. Even when I was using the sense launcher.
sense is using 161 mb right now

[Q] [HELP] Problem with GO Launcher EX

I recently installed Go Launcher on my HTC Evo 3d, and I notcied that when I play games, the touch controls are behaving strangely. For example, if pushing right arrow to move my character in an NES emulator, if I press the a or b button on the other side of the screen, my character will stop moving right. It's a very strange issue and it affects all games I have tried. Haven't been able to find any help online. Thoughts or suggestions?
Not go launchers fault.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Could you expand on that at all? I don't have the problem when I'm not using Go Launcher.
Uninstall GoLauncher EX would be your best bet. I don't see why you should go out of your way to install faulty launchers on your phone.
Yeah, I have. I just want to use it because it seems to have a lot of really cool themes for it. I used ADW launcher but Go launcher is far better.

I have the same problem with go launcher ex and I am sure it's go launcher. My touch screen response becomes real choppy. You can check this with touch screen test app.... I haven't found a fix so I Uninstalled it....

Because go launcher doesn't support the keyboard in the same way Sense does.

Replacement launcher (ADW EX) but with annoying Menu button

I have not rooted my EVO LTE yet. But I installed ADW EX for now and can't stand the menu button on the bottom. It takes up too much space.
I'm not a Sense fan and was hoping version 4.0 was better, but but after a couple of days I still prefer pure Android. Unfortunately I can't figure out why HTC and others are adding permanent home, and back and recent buttons when ICS looks better without them.
Even when I root and install CM9, for example, I'll have a huge menu button that takes up too much space.
Anyone see what I'm talking about?
What can we do about it?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Man I installed go launcher and I'm wondering the same exact thing. I upgraded to this phone to have a bigger screen than my s2 and I can't even do that without sense..
Does anyone know how to get rid of that menu vertical ... at the bottom?
I think an option is to use Apex or Holo launcher. They seem to be better suited for ics. Just saw a video review of it here http://goo.gl/cykps
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Another option is Nova Launcher. It is a true ICS launcher that is really slick and and does away with the three dot menu.
There is a mod that could be flash to remove menu bar and remaps it. Have you guys tried it?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
If you flash cm9 they remapped the buttons that crap is gone, it's running way better than sense also. Just a few minor issues.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
But is there an official CM9 out for the evo? One thing I'm not liking is the 1gb ram and sense. Sense is still too heavy for 1 gb ram. Sometimes it takes 15-20 seconds to load the sense launcher.
I bought apex pro. Better, but when I jump to different apps then hit the home button, sometimes it takes a few seconds to load the launcher.
That just tells me memory is running out somewhere (sense).
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
OP, just to clarify, when you unlock and run CM9 , you WON'T have the big long menu bar. Even on sense, if you're rooted you can get rid of it.

+1 on Nova.
Running Fresh 1.0 with Nova launcher, no lag but never really had any of the Sense 4.0 reload issues that some talked about anyway. Figured it was just the GS3 people trying to troll but maybe a bad batch of cells went out too..
Anyway, NOVA is sick! Setup the way you want, gives you better visual then GO etc (IMO) and great on footprint (memory). Works very well and as the other user stated, its native to ICS anyway. Give it a shot, blows the doors off anything else I tried and no lag anywhere..
Fresh is great too IMO, there are some great multitasking tips using the ROM toolbox, adjusting heaps etc..works well also,

What you say would be a solution for my discontent. I'm going to root soon and will remove some of the sense bloatware, but removing the menu also interests me. Regarding CM9 once it's officially supported ill be on board.
I bought apex and almost bought nova instead. They both look interesting.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Just to let you know the menu button on the bottom shows because those apps having been optimized to ICS, yes after 7-8 months and developers still doing the same, thats the reason you dont see any system apps doing that, cause their optimize, I wish developers would tho

So it's just a matter of time before more apps are optimized? It is very annoying...
tried nova launcher today it's great!

Another option I wouldn't mind would be to hack the recent apps button to make it think it's the menu button. I'm used to long pressing the home button anyways. I think the Sgs3 is like that.
