Help Help, helixlauncher borked the phone

So, I really like Helix launcher...when it works.

Reflashed my phone this morning, installed helixlauncher, and now since I was an idiot and told it to be the default home the first time, I'm in a force close loop.

Is there a safe mode or anything to boot into, where I can remove this, or do I have to reflash all over again from scratch?
 
I had the same problem. All you have to do is catch a second where you can hit the Menu button on your phone, then go to Applications and Manage Applications. Go to Helix and it will say that it is the default for some actions, and you can clear that. Hit Home again, and it will ask you which program to use.

I tried, but it was force closing so quickly, there was no way to get anywhere. Couldn't even bring up the menu.
