Love my Sensation. Miss my Launcher Pro. Have tried several home switcher apps to no avail. Please advise.
Otherwise the phone is great. Moved from N1 - not finding the phone especially fast however. Would love to use alternative home replacements. Sense is making this difficult I think.
Have seen the youtube video, however - pressing the home button or icon always returns me to sense. wtf.
anyone else?
One of the first things I did was put LauncherPro on it out of the box and it worked fine. I did however give it up and chose Sense as the default for 2 reasons:
1: Sense is so heavy, having the two side by side causes Sense to reboot constantly. (every time you hit home to be precise) which lead to the 1st and only problem I've had with this device, it rebooted once, and reset itself to default status undoing all of my visual settings. Since I defaulted it, hasn't happened again.
2: I've had Launcher Pro across my last 4 phones, until it gets overhauled to some degree I want to try something new, and Sense in some ways is quite useful. (If you look close you can see subtly where they borrowed heavily from LauncherPro)
In any event, if you want just jump to into... Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications> (Filter to all)>Scroll down to HTC Sense (the one with the clock icon, not the green htc logo) >clear data>hit home and choose LauncherPro. (assuming you've installed it already) Default it if you wish to suppress Sense.
Yeah, it's (LauncherPro) not going to show up in your App's drawer, and you won't be able to launch it from the market downloads section. You pretty much have to install it and select it. It's probably HTC's special way of making it tough to sink it. Good luck.
