Home replacement? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am using HTC Desire, non-branded version, stock rom ... not rooted
Now, I am wondering about this home replacement app like "ADW Launcher" or "Launcher Pro".
Can I use it with my phone?
If yes, how do I install it? Just download and install the .apk?
Because I am a bit confused with HTC Sense ... Which is built-in ...
Thanks

Get more HTC Widgets Problem: Unable to download widgets-

I have an unlocked non branded HTC Desire and today I was messing around with root access, but in the end decided to go back to the stock ROM.
Now I can't download the additional HTC widgets (notes), it says "Unable to download widgets. Tap to try again.". I can't resolve this problem.
SOLVED
Figured it out. I had a custom locale setting, set via morelocale 2, as soon as I changed it to a locale that came preinstalled on the phone, I could again see the widgets.
I have the same problem. When I wan't to add a widget and select get more htc widgets it says unable to download widgets.tap to try again. Can you explain how exactly did you make it work?
Thank you

same here , what have you done
Settings>Language & keyboard>Select language and than select something from the list. Works fine after that.
I had the same problem and MaTiCeK-'s post pointed me in the right direction. It also fixed my 'Current location' problem. Whatever I tried, for the last 3-4 weeks it wouldn't tell me the city name. Changing the language to one of the preinstalled ones fixed it
Thanks

Cyanogenmod is using adw launcher as its home launcher which allows this. Launcher pro also allows this and both are available in the android market.

It doesnt because i had a samsung galaxy running cyanogenmod & i had my own custom launcher & 180* worked on every app + game
here's a screeenshot of what i mean,

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
it allows 180* to work everywhere, something to do with the system not any apps or launchers.
Ok, I misunderstood what you were asking.
EDIT: I could try to look into it.

Hi
Several Android versions ago I used "WidgetLocker". You can find it in play store.
Some additional infos: Here
If you search on google pictures for "android widgetlocker" you can find nearly the same sliders.

This app is awesome. It exactly what I needed
I just used to put 4 icons without a name in the Sense Lockscreen.
Considering I use Apex, I don't mind have those icons in the Sense Launcher
This is what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Thanx for the top! I tried it and managed to get 1 New short cut for VPN connections, but second time to try it and FC like any cut.......

Recently discovered that you need to let the app fully "load" before creating your short cut then works everything.

How to remove some of the LG app?

I want to removed some of the LG app, like "Memo", "Video", "File Manager". I can only disable it. I just want it uninstalled.
Anyone knows how?

Root the device and then use a tool (I use titanium backup) to freeze them, after running for a while and validating no ill effects from the freeze you can then remove. Apps that are system apps are not easy to remove (without root) and unfortunately many of the manufacturers and carriers use this to their advantage.
If you don't feel confident enough to root, use a launcher that lets you hide apps and simply forget that they are installed.
