Follow these steps to set the Android Home application as the default home screen rather than the HTC Sense UI.
1. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>HTC Sense.
2. Click on 'Clear Defaults'.
3. Now press the 'Home' button, and you'll get a window asking you to select an app to perform this function. Click on the check box to set an app as the default, and select 'Home'.
Now you'll use the default Android home screen and not HTC Sense. This will also enable you to select the wallpapers provided by the Android OS(including the blue landscape seen on HTC Magic\G1, etc). Just select the option so change the wallpaper, and you can select the Android Home gallery.
PS: You won't be able to use ANY of the HTC widgets now.
Enjoy...

You can Force Close it from the Manage Applications menu. That's the most I can do. I'm not a dev. So don't ask me hi-tech ways to stop it from running permanently.
Even with Sense running in the background the phone seems quite faster and I also prefer the default Android Home screen look.
Considering how Android handles running but inactive apps, I don't think Sense will use a lot of resources.

I've tried and I can say that sanse use only 9 MB more than default home.
I can't find the way for have total default graphic like G1 mobiles.
sense can stop in that way but top bar doesn't change his dark color and also dialpad won't change...
for me sense is the best at the moment but will be interesting know the way for the stadard android' graphic

So it's basically the reverse of what you did to set Home as the default.
App called homesmack works.

Hi all,
I have changed from the touchflo interface to the standard interface, seems a lot smoother to me (and i like the look) but is there a way to remove all the htc sense apps that are no longer in use?
Or is there a standard Android rom for the Hero?
Cheers
If I just wanted to see what the standard interface looked like, how would I do this?

Normal Android Home On Hero
Here's what to do...
Go to Settings - Applications - Manage Applications.
Scroll down to 'TouchFLO' and hit 'clear defaults'
Obviously this will clear the default action of taking you to the TouchFLO or Rosie UI home.
When you have done this every time you press the home button you will have a choice. Home or TouchFLO.
Now how can you put it (TouchFlow) back to default ?
If I don't want to have the popup when i click the home button ?
Ticking the "make default action" doesn't work for long

To switch back to TouchFLO do the same like in the first procedure but instead of TouchFLO, select the 'Home' app.
Getting the selection screen often is a bug caused by some apps (like task managers etc). Try uninstalling some and re-check.
Stopped using touch wiz and switched to launcherpro as my default home app, reduced lag by a lot
I first installed this program and deleted it. Well now I decided I want it back but it doesn't show up in my apps drawer. It shows up in settings under manage apps but still no way to set it as my default. I sent the dev an email but never got a response. What do I do?

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Apps. Then press Menu > List all apps. Fine "twlauncher" and clear defaults for it.

Go to Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Press menu button (left bottom) - select filter -select running - go down to the bottom TwLauncher - Click clear defaults - press home buttom.
It will ask you what you want to use as your default.
Delete and reinstall it and it should ask to set as default when you press home

Yeah, TouchWiz is quite lagly at the moment.
I use home switcher app to switch from touch wiz, launcher pro or ADW. Its a great app to switch home replacements quick.

Fantastic! Thanks
I use Launcherpro and I think it is the best home replacement... better than Open Home which I used in the past...
LauncherPro Plus is KING! Can't wait for it's new widgets within the next few weeks.
Hello,
Is it possible to run Wildfire using bare bones Android OS ? I mean can the bare-bone Android run on Wildfire without the HTC Sense and other stuff that is preloaded ?
If yes then how ?
Thanks.
If you just want to disable HTC sense you can do that via settings. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>HTC Sense>Clear Defaults. This will make you select the home screen between the android basic home and the HTC sense home. You can select either and even make it default. To revert back, do the same for Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Home>clear Defaults.

Hi,
I removed HTC Sense to remove the lag in the phone. It is a bit better now but not that much. Is there any way to optimize the phone so it uses less resources and does'nt lags. Right now the lag is so much. For ex. If a call is coming and I decline the call then also the ring tone keeps on ringing for 2-3 secs.
I do not understand why a phone should lag in its most basic feature ?
Also how to remove the call accept/decline system which is drag type and instead get the buttons ? I would really prefer the buttons instead of the dragging system.
Thanks.
So playing around I gigured out how to switch it:
Press Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Application
Press Menu > Filter > All
Scroll down to TwLauncher and tap that, then tap Clear Defaults
Press Home and you will be prompted to select Home (Vanilla Android) or or TwLauncher (Samsung TouchWiz). Check "Use by default for this action" to set Home as the default Launcher if you like.
If you ever want to undo the process, simply repeat the process but go to Home instead os TwLauncher.
Enjoy.
An easier way is to use the app "home switcher" from the market. Idk if it works with the epic but it should.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Once you install any different home launcher ADW or Launcherpro, etc it should automatically ask to switch home screens when you press home the first time.
I'm still looking forward to TouchWiz but more likely than not uninstalling it for ADW.
Wow! Nice job chris5h!

Hey Chris I have changed my os to Vanilla but when I try the reverse directions to go back to touchwiz it will not work. When I go into manage apps, then filter, then on to TwLauncher all is well, but then the option to press "clear defaults" is grayed out. Could you help out?

Definitely use Home Switcher. But yes, there's something with Froyo that makes it difficult to choose the "default" home. Unfortunately, if you select default on a launcher that you don't want, I would do what was mentioned above (variation of).
Go to market, search for Go Launcher, install it, uninstall, then you'll get the screen to pick your default launcher when you hit the home button.

Hey thanks this worked out, I kind of like Go Launchers interface though anyway.
But now I have the option to go back.
I guess I just kind of jumped into this quickly
I just rooted the phone and am not seeing many benefits to it so far,
I don't understand custom roms or kernals really either.
"launcher2.apk that's the aosp launcher"- I couldn't figure this out.
"I just delete the touchwiz launcher from any rom I use,then install LP,then delete th aosp launcher"
LP stands for Launcher program? aosp?
I still can't figure out how to get wireless tether through my epic!
Sorry guys, very new to this.
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

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
