htc sense uninstalled

this is my first smartphone, and somehow I uninstalled htc sense on my phone. actually, it may not be uninstalled, but I only have three windows as opposed to 7 when I first got the phone. Im not looking to modify my phone quite yet and I miss the 7 windows. everything looks bone stock now. how do I get htc sense back on? I got this phone in the middle of december last year, if that helps. :(

As long as you havent really uninstalled Sense just go to >Settings >Applications >Manage applications(give it time to finish loading) >Look for "Home" >Select "Home" > scroll down til you see the header that says Launch by Default, press the button that says Clear Defaults. Press home button, select sense and the check box that says use as default.

I havent had to do this, but I did a soft reset(I think), where I went into the settings and restored the phone to factory default. I tried a hard reset, by pressing home, back, and then end call, but that didnt work. I back in business now.

Im such a noob, bare with me :eek:. now Im back to how I first got the phone, and now installing the apps I had previously.

Ok, glad you got it fixed. IF you ever want to go back to the stock home, just for fun, follow the steps i stated but instead of selecting "Home" select "HTC Sense". Good day.

I tried setting home as my default but there was no option there... i went to htc sense and cleared the data for launching as default, but the home "set as default" checkbox still wasnt there. any ideas?

Nevermind, got it :)

I pushed the home button and it gave me the option to either use home or sense.
