Anyone else having issues on a stock Verizon One getting Nova Launcher to stick? Damn thing keeps defaulting to Sense for some reason. Is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance.
Nova runs fine for me but when I hold the home key to open menu on my homescreen nothing happens. Every once in a while it will work.
Go to HTC Sense in the app settings and clear defaults. Do the same for Nova. Clear defaults for both and see if that solves the problem

Thanks for the suggestion. I've given it a shot. Sense said there were no defaults applied, while Nova said it was a default for certain something... the legend was cut off. I cleared them both and we'll see how it goes.
I'm stock currently, also using Nova. I have not had any issues with it. When you first start using the launcher, and you get the popup asking which UI to use, select "always" (rather than "just once") before selecting Nova, as opposed to Sense. Mine sticks.

I've had this as well, even with Nova selected as default. Sense would pop up randomly when going back to the home screen. What I did is go into app manager and force stop HTC Sense. The problem is when setting another launcher as default, your suppose to clear the others out of memory by using the recent apps, but stock Sense does not allow this apparently...

There is an issue where if you drag up any of your icons on the dock row in your lock screen it will go into Sense. There is nothing you can do about that. Once you have selected Nova as your default launcher, all you have to do is click the home screen and it will take you back.
OP here checking in. Since I applied josh995's suggestion about clearing defaults for both HTC Sense and Nova, it's been pretty well behaved. FYI, peteschlabar, I definitely checked "always" when I had the choice between launchers. Oh well, it seems to have sorted itself out now. Thanks, all!
I just installed nova again and it worked the first time

I installed launcherpro, deleted the settings of HTC sense, pressed home, checked the "remeber this setting" and chosed launcherpro, so it's the new default launcher.
However, after opening an application and returning to the home screen, it keeps asking me to chose between launcherpro and sense again.
With home switcher installed the same issue keeps happening. After a while it shows me there isn't a default launcher selected.
Does anyone know a solution? I'm getting really frustrated...
Bump!
I have the same problem..

I still haven't found a solution. I'm considering flashing a non-Sense ROM, but then again, I don't feel like going into flashing again (and again, and again)
So, if someone could help us out, please!
Ok here's the solution:
Flash your phone with Android Revolution HD 2.0.9 without Sense
A bit drastic, I admit. But holy crap that ROM is fast!

First, clear defaults from both HTC Sense and Launcher Pro (evt. clear cache or any other data). Then when prompted choose Launcher Pro as your default.
Alternately, you can try to freeze (not uninstall) HTC sense by using Titanium backup.
Hi Friends, I'm MohamaD from Iran. I'v this problem in my device since yesterday when I Installed Windows 7 Launcher. and I have found a solution for it by changing the Memory Card. If anyone knows another way to solve this please post it here. Whatever it is... it relevance to Memory card.
i've also face same problem..
it keep prompting for default launcher even have clear default for hundreds time. BTW i'm using go launcher as the alternate launcher.
really appreciate some guide/advice on this.
please forgive me if this sounds silly or has already been asked/answered. I have searched the forums but couldn't find anything related, maybe due to it being either a given or silly question.
What's the rule-of-thumb when it comes to running multiple launchers? If one is currently active, are the others running in the background? Should I be concerned with battery and memory resources?
I currently main Go Launcher EX, but have also purchased ADW Launcher EX (loved it on the Eris), and Launcher Pro Plus. All are installed... I switch between them occasionally, and tend to go back to Go Launcher EX.
Rom = Magnolia 1.3.2
no takers??
thanx anyway.
I'm not sure either, but I use titanium pro, and it lets you freeze the launchers or apps you aren't using, so they don't appear in the app drawer. When you want to use it again, just defrost it. Hope this helps.

Thanx for the advice! I'll use Bloat Freezer to disable the ones I'm not using!
I'm not positive but once you set one as your default launcher I'm pretty sure the others you have installed do not run in the background. So you shouldn't have to worry about battery life if you have more than 1 downloaded and installed. I am using Go EX now but I also have adw ex installed. Have you checked out the honeycomb theme for go launcher ex? I like it a lot.
I use LauncherPro and I know when I switch over to rosie every now and then, the HTC loading screen appears for a few seconds before showing my home screens, so it's not running in the background (at least not at any capacity worth noting). If you switch constantly without ever rebooting your phone it may be a different story.

awesome! Thanx for the replies! I've removed Launcher Pro and kept Go EX and ADW EX. At the moment, I haven't figured out how they're different, but like Go EX better because it doesn't do the 180 degree screen flip thingy. I remember ADW having an option of disabling that on my Eris, but I haven't been able to find it.
I am not familiar with Launcher.
If I have multiple launcher on my phone, do I able to switch between them from time to time?
Do I need root rights to do this?
I am using HTC sense and would like to try android default launcher or others.

Yup you can switch between them as often as you'd like no root permission are required.
Home switcher for froyo works great.

Hi All,
Ive been toying around with the launchers, and i think there real good, only thinng i cant get though, which i thought id ask on here to see if its me being dumb or just dont work.
When using a launcher, can you not use any of the HTC installed widgets? Like sense clock, or weather, i feel when i go to the launcher on my handset half of my widgets disappear, but when in stock home, they are all there...
Anyway i can work around this? I really want to use another launcher other than HTC stock, as i feel they are so much smarter, the only thing holding me back is these widgets issue.
The Launchers i have used are: Launcher Pro, Go Launcher, Zeam Launcher, and ADW Launcher. Any other launcher that might do the trick?
Thanks in Advanced.

I have kind of the same problem, when i`m using a launcher the mail box shortcut never refreshes the new mail indicator on any of the home screens that i`ve tried, and i`ve tried a lot. I would gladly pay for a home launcher that would make that part work !!!!
If anyone knows of one that actually does it please let me know !
Thanks.

hi guys,
since we are on the topic of launchers. i have a question for the experts here. I am also using DHD. I running LauncherPro. When I first installed it, i set it to default and everything works fine. I press the HOME button it just do what the HOME button suppose to do. I restart or reboot my phone, it just goes into LauncherPro. But after awhile, out of the blue i started having this problem. Everytime I press on the HOME button, my phone will ask me to choose between HTC Sense or LauncherPro. I will tick default and select LauncherPro. The the HOME button will work fine. But after awhile it will ask me to select between the 2 launchers again when i press on the HOME button. Same whenever i restart or reboot the phone.
Tried to clear the default setting in HTC sense but nothing for me to clear. Can be annoying because I really prefer the LauncherPro. Does anyone encounter the same problem as me? Any way to overcome this problem? And also pardon my long winded post.

Is it everytime you restart the phone? Or does it seemed to have had an update. Launcher Pro Plus is the 1 i actually use atm, and i make sure the remember choice thing is checked and never have the problem...
Did any of you notice that when LauncherPro (and possibly other alternate launchers) is active, Settings -> Personalize menu does not work? It just goes back to homescreen. I never noticed it until this morning.
I got a call right after booting my DHD and it rang with one of the default ringtones due to SD card not being mounted yet and my standard ringtone was on it. So I went to check if it was fine once the card was mounted and behold. Then I switched back to Sense and could access the screen.
Yes. It happens everytime I restart the phone. I not using launcher pro plus.

Me too.!
Also it shows running apps and also allows easier uninstallation of apps.
so, just got my phone looking and feeling pretty much how I wanted it using go launcher but I am noticed that either i have a problem with screen sensitivity or there is a problem with go. I am finding that i have to click some icons several times to launch them, seem worse in drawer.
Anyone else finding that the get the audible click but nothing happens?
EDIT: switched back to ADW and everything is back to normal, gotta be an issue with GO..
No. The only problems I've had with Go Loauncher EX is that there was a lag between the start of a horizontal swipe and the homescreens starting to swipe - resolved once I stopped the wallpaper from scrolling too, and in the app drawer sometimes a long press doesn't launch "edit mode".
Other than that it's all gravy...
odd, my problems disappeared when moving back to ADW. Cheers anyway though.
+1 haha i thought it was just me that was having this issue.when you select something on launcher it indicates the touch with the glow but nothing happens?press couple times and it will open.that is what i was having.was making think i was having lag.went back to touchwiz not a issue.
+2 Hot damn, I thought I was going crazy.
Edit: I emailed them about it but it definitely goes away with a different launcher
cool hopefully they will have a fix in no time.those guys work hard.its hard to go back to touchwiz after go.i also use there go pro messenger.built in backup etc like the laucnher.
Having the same "lag" problem.
So, we're all NOT crazy
Cant say I have had this issue and I have been using GO Launcher for quite some time now.
Yes, I noticed this bug also.
I'm using go launcher ex for some time and this came out since 2-3 weeks.
I hope they will fix it soon.

I am having the same issue here. Gestures are disabled but that didn't help (even after restarting phone). Used to have Launcher Pro Plus which didn't have this kind of behavior.
Sent dev an email though.
Same observations. Especially bad for icons in the dock. I have always disabled gestures.
+1 I also have this problem from time to time. First I tought it was me missing the right spot on the screen, but it must be a bug.
I am using NOVA as my daily launcher. Whenever I open any app and press back key, instead getting Nova launcher home and I see stock touchwiz home. How Do I fix this problem? I can get Nova launcher home by pressing home button.
Mine is not doing that. I used an app called homesmack to set nova as default. That may fix your problem. Sounds like every action isn't defaulted to home. Just the home button.

I had that problem with Nova and sslauncher but only when I had backed out of gmail!? Really strange. Do as Aranen_Zen suggested and install a home switcher to see if it helps.

Not sure if you tried this yet, but go into NOVA settings and scroll to bottom...there's a setting called "set default home". It will show what you have set and can set NOVA as default there. Also, in Manage Applications you can clear defaults somehow if step above didn't work.
I have a Motorola Razr M HD (XT926) and am running into the same issue with Nova.
Pressing the "back" button to leave an app takes me to my default home. However, if I leave an app by pressing "home" I am taken to my Nova home screen.
OP, did you figure this out without installing another app?
Doctor, I did as you said to no avail.

I am not sure but with Nova update (or Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update ??) that problem has gone. I had setup Nova as default launcher but still was getting error.

I have the same problem with my Note 8.0 but it seems to only happen for the Gmail widget, which I use very often. I've tried Nova, Apex and GO launchers and they have the same results. I've tried the suggested home-switching apps but to no avail.
Getting exact same problem
I have a Motorola XT925 RAZR HD. Just installed Nova and set it as default launcher using the Nova settings... made sure the Home Launcher has no defaults... but yeah, backing out of Gmail or Text Messaging would show the default launcher home screen. Rebooting seems to have cured it, but I'll report back if it comes back. Kinda annoying but glad to see others having the same problem, means a software issue, not my phone! heh.
