Can you remove the htc apps?

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.

[HOW TO] Set Android Home as the default home screen

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

Reverting to HTC Sense
Click the home button, and select HTC sense on the popup menu. check the default if you want to stay this way.

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

App called homesmack works.

or if you dont want to remove just navigate to htc sense and click on clear defaults or something similar. then click home you can choose android.

i was a bit worried to use some guides from other phones i m new on android i used 4yrs wm so i need to adapt to android os ... iac thank you for answers !

its easy.
go to settings->Applications->Manage applications->look for HTC Sense->Clear Defaults.
Than only press the Homescreenbutton and your wildfire will ask you, if you want to start the standartscreen or htc-sense. Than you can set new defaults

That's the way I did it! I much prefer the plain Android to the Sense, my only slight issue is that there are only 3 home screens. Does anyone know if there's any way to add more?

What you can also do, when you are in the main home screen:
Select: menu-scenes-and there is an option for a clean scene (in Dutch Schone lei).
When you selected this option, you can put in any widget/ application etc...
You will keep the 5 home screens and change wallpaper etc.
When you have done this all, you can save your scene via the same order (menu-scenes etc).
Good luck!
Dave

Just out of interest, does anyone know how you get Sense back after removing is as default?

Yup, that makes "Sense" I apologise for my terrible puns. Thanks for the help!

Clear defaults and press home button?

Did that, but it only sets HTC Sense to default..

Hello,
I have removed the HTC Sense but now how do I put an icon so the dialer should popup ? So that I don't have to click on the Arrow then scroll to People and then make a call.
Thanks.

Go to settings/applications/manage applications, find home and click on clear defaults, press home, it will give you an option for normal home or htc sense home.

so if i was to have normal and didnt like it i could change back to htc sense using what youve said yeah??? (sorry but im new to all this so )

I think you can, if that dont work, try and click clear defaults on htc sense instead of normal home, it should still give you the option when you press home for home, or sense.

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
Cheers

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.

yeap tried re-installing also - still no luck..
I just installed SBP Shell 3D and that works as its meant to - pressing home button brings up choice of it or sony home..
Very odd - Launcher Pro cost me money!

Try Home Switcher maybe.

You need to go into the following..
Settings
Manage applications
Select 'home' app..
Click on clear defaults.
Press home key..
Voila.

Hardly launcherpro's fault - it's behaving perfectly according to the rules.
Sony Ericsson Home is set to the default launcher, so if you want to change launchers you have to clear the defaults for the launcher. You wont get the choice otherwise (which makes sense, you wouldnt want it asking you *every* time you pressed home would you)?
[menu] -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> Sony Ericsson Home -> Clear Defaults
Now if you press home you get the choice, enabling you to choose a different launcher as default if you like. This is all that apps like Homeswitcher, homesmack etc are doing.
edit: heh, iceman got in there while i was writing this - must type faster!

Ok got it going with Home Switcher app..
Tks
