you can use both launcher2 or rosie, just clear the defaults...
How am I able to use the sense UI if im using the launcher?
You can also use Helix Launcher. But the only way you will get the SenseUI aka Rosie is if you use the original launcher that is included with the Incredible.
Cool. Thanks
Noob here - how do you get another launcher and still use Sense UI? Where can I find a link for something like that?

You can download the HelixLauncher from the market, its free. Still trying to figure out how to use the sense UI on another launcher....

SenseUI is part of the default Launcher (HTCSense aka Rosie). Technically it IS the default launcher. AFAIK there is no way to "Use Sense on another Launcher." You either use HTCSense or you use some other Launcher.
I tried Advance Laucher and it forced closed over and over. Which N1 Laucher are you using. Does it support multi-touch? I tried Helix but it doesn't work with multi-touch so I got rid of it.

What "multi-touch" function are you trying to use at the Launcher level? Most multi-touch is at an app level....browser, maps, gallery, etc....
The launcher I am using is from Nexus One - Cyanogen 5.0.6 rom. It support multi-touch for pic, browser, map, etc..... But the stock rom does the multi-touch already.

Not sure if you were asking me or the other poster. The Helix Launcher is available for free in the Market. Honestly, though, I am using the default HTCSense Launcher. I can't imagine why anyone would want anything else.
I've used helix but it seems laggy to me so I was looking for the one he said he pulled from cyanogen.
Yeah, I mean I love the Sense UI. But one of the reasons I wanted to get into Android and get an Android phone was to do whatever I wanted and customize and try out anything and everything. Kind of sucks to have limited options when I was hoping to be able to do everything everyone else is doing with their phones.
I too would like to know how to get the Cyanogen Mod on the Incredible.
I'm guessing this is the one they are referring to. I is Launcher2.apk pulled from the Cyanogen Sholes/Droid ROM. You should be able to put it on the SDCARD and install with a file manager.
Credit to Cyanogen.

Same here. I'm hoping the Incredible get rooted soon. Would like to OC my phone and install different roms. I luv the Cyanogen roms, been running it on my N1 for a while now with no issue and its blazing fast.
I like Leap

Hey everybody, I have tried to search around and I have found no luck, but does anyone know if they have ported the sense ui and can you load it on the captivate? maybe a dumb question i dunno but i figured i would give it a try.
Not yet. Mostly everyone has been working on the gps issues and lag fixes.
just use Launcher Pro and then find a .apk file for fancy widget (a copy of the clock), it's not sense, but its much snappier than the stock captivate launcher and it has some HTC like widgets in the paid version, I find it very functional ^_^
Ive tried several different launchers including launcher pro but i found that i like adw launcher the best. You can download a sense theme for it from the market. I previously had samset 1.5 & 1.8 installed which includes the clock widget. After i synced to app brain i was able to reinstall it after i flashed a different rom. This is pretty much my ui of choice. It has been running great, plus you can enable horizontal swipe in the app drawer via adw settings which i find to work more smoothly. Hope that might have helped some for the time being.

Thank You! I too have been looking for a version of sense for the Captivate. This does a good job of pulling off the over all look and feel!
Another vote for the paid version of Fancy Widget. Very customizable and can be made to look just like Sense.
Sense UI isn't just a skin or launcher like TouchWiz. It actually replaces a lot of stuff in the ROM and has its own framework. You can't just "add" it to a ROM. It IS the ROM. I don't think you'll have it running on Galaxy S phone anytime soon.

I am an AOSP stock experience fan boy so I immediately installed the stock 2.1 launcher on my Epic. Turns out it's ridiculously fast and buttery smooth.
3D effect and 5 home screens are included in this .apk. Root is not required for this to work.
Enjoy!
I think I love you..
Where'd you get that apk?
I don't find it as smooth.. I prefer Launcher Pro.

This is nice but whatever happened to advanced launcher? It was a good aosp launcher from the 1.5 days and if I remember right you could hide apps from the drawer. Just a wonderin...

How to Turn Off/Disable TouchWiz:
I assumed not everyone knew this but you can disable the TouchWiz on the Epic:http://phandroid.com/2010/09/01/how-to-disable-touchwiz-on-the-epic-4g/
How to turn TouchWiz off. No Launcher App needed unless you want those personal features. No Root required. This is native:
You can just go to manage applications and hit menu and choose filter. scroll to TWLauncher and clear the default and when you press home button it will ask which home setting. choose the regular home and it will go to stock vanilla 2.1. And of course set the home you personally like as your default so it won't keep asking you which home setting do you want every time you hit the home button.
I just hope they keep this feature when it Froyo hits the device because some devices lose this feature when updated. Like the Hero did when 2.1 came to it. Doesn't make updates come quicker with this feature but it is nice to have. I do remember Samsung saying they would expect Froyo sometime this month for the Galaxy S. Let's hope that has some meaning to all versions.
Eh it doesn't work right in landscape on my phone. I switched back to Adwlauncher

It is only for 1.5 unfortunately, I liked it as well, and included it in most of my themes back then.
On the topic of this thread.....I am using ADW installed to /system/app/ and it is blazing fast as well. Suffice to say just about everything is fast on these phones.
Just curious here but you think it will work on the Vibrant and Captivate as well?
EDIT: Works on my Vibrant but fails to load widgets.
Hi, I want ask if is possible in pre rooted sense rom change sense launcher for Go Launcher Ex. I don't like sense native launcher.
If I install on sense rom GoLauncherEx.... native sense launcher run on background.... It's possible replace native sense launcher with Go Launcher Ex?
Sry for my english...
If you don't want any part of the sense experience, why use a sense ROM? It would just be running in the background using resources.
Sorry if I misunderstand you.

Why not use aosp or aokp? There are no sense launchers running in background
Sent by my fingers to your head.
You guys obviously know, that sense is not only the launcher, but also quite a few other tricks and tweaks across the system? I would have to double check, but while You cannot get rid of sense completely, launcher doesn't seem to stay in memory when other is chosen as default action for home button etc.

Yeah i've seen a lot of people add a custom launcher to sense for a lot of reasons. Sense adds a lot of functionality to the ROM and some can't live without the widgets. There may be reasons. But anyway, a custom launcher doesn't require root but i suppose it's good you have it. Just get one from the market and it should work.
However, i don't think it's possible to replace the sense launcher. Sense seems to take a huge impact if you remove a part of it. That is one problem.
EDIT: I've just seen that you can disable the sense launcher by getting an app called SystemApp Remover. The app does cost though but should stop sense launcher from running without removing it. The app you want to disable is Rosie.apk. Make a backup incase and make sure the 3rd party launcher is installed before you do this!!
I suppose Titanium Backup could do the same by freezing the Rosie.apk but you would still have to pay for the pro version.
Once again i'd like to say if you try this, make sure you have a backup and also you install the 3rd party launcher before you freeze it!

Hmm.... maybe I try this.... when will be finished first Sense 4 ROM.... Thanks for response
hmm was thinking about the same thing and exploring the inside of the rom.
is it possible to (1)remove any launcher/app.apk and (2)add in any apps of your own, in system/app ? or it is more complicated than that?
Actually there is a Sense-less WipeOut ROM, the ROM is still based on Sense, but uses ICS-based launcher (can't rmbr whether it is Nova/Apex/trebuchet)..
maybe OP can try that? But mind you that ROM is Sense 4.0A based, so some functions may not be working properly yet (touch to focus camera, WiFi hotspot, etc) but it is stable enough as daily driver..
I hope this is what OP means..
i use apex launcher and have rosie.apk frozen by titanium backup. you can also delete it with root explorer if you want. mind that display personalise settings aren't working any more without rosie or with rosie frozen, so you have to set all those things before you ger rid of it.
well I have tried every launcher on the Android market and found non to my taste..... I like the Sense that comes stock on the Inspire 4g, "BUT" as I was playing around with the Launcher Pro, I really like the "Dock," "Dock background" and the "Transition Effect" the visual effect used when switching between home screens. Is there anyway I can get those just mentioned on to my HTC Sense 2.1? the only reason I don't like Launcher pro is because it does not have alot of widgets like HTC Sense does, any help????? thanks in Advance.

call up HTC. Other than that, you cant get a personalized launcher to that specifics unless you make one yourself. And with sense 4.0 working its way out, you wont see as much development for older sense versions. and each launcher can have tons of widgets, just the main ones dont come with a lot of built in. go and download whatever widgets you want and you can experience the same as sense.
Thank you for your response, but I have finally customized Launcher pro for my needs by keeping it down to 3 screens and utilizing those app and widgets that I use on a daily basis, works out very well.

If you want widgets like sense then try Android Pro widgets. Not free but do a great job of replacing the sense widgets.
If you want a dock and the actual sense widgets then here's a link to the htc one ics/sense 4 rom

I'm not sure I am asking this correctly. but I am on tweakstock 2.0 with the BlackNBlue theme (by Stranula). I was using CoreDroid (by ztkryan) and liked it but there are few things about BlackNBlue that I like prefer. However, I love the vertical scrolling 3D looking app launcher in CoreDroid (pic). Is there a way to keep BlackNBlue but use the app launcher screen from CoreDroid? If so, how do I do that. (also, I am not sure launcher is the correct term but didn't know what to call it). Thanks.
EDIT: FYI, This question has been answered.
You simply install it and when you hit the home button, you'll get a choice of launchers. Pick the one you want (and set to default if you desire). However, if I'm not mistaken, CoreDroid uses EclipseLauncher2, which is only available in Eclipse or that theme. If you save the .apk off, you may be able to install it and use it, but I won't swear to that. You might want to try Go Launcher EX from the Play Store. You can customize it to look and act pretty much exactly like EclipseLauncher.
It was a bit of a surprise to me, but the CoreDroid launcher looked the same when I was on Eclipse 2.0 as it did when I tried the Coredroid for tweaked over the weekend. I just wasn't sure that the launcher had it's own .apk file. Does anybody know the name of the launcher in CoreDroid for Tweaked? or where I look to find it if I go back to CoreDroid temporarily.

This does work shrike. Just copy EclipseLauncher2.apk, put it on your SD card and install via RootExplorer. I used the one in ROM Toolbox Pro. It's a pretty dang good launcher if you ask me.

It's the EclipseLauncher2 from Eclipse 2.0 and from the CoreDroid theme in Tweaked 2.0.

I wasn't sure either. I just thought I'd try it out and it worked. I did however have an interesting expericence when I installed the CoreDroid theme over the blacknblue theme with EclipseLauncher2 running on the blacknblue theme. When my phone rebooted my status bar was gone and I had no homescreen because the EclipseLauncher kept on force closing relentlessly. I had to install Tweaked over the top and start over. I'm guessing that this was because the CoreDroid theme already uses EclipseLauncher2 and the old one that I had running on the blacknblue theme became corrupt when I installed CoreDroid. Y'all might not ever experience this, but just in case, this is a heads up!

Thanks to all. I installed using CWM. Seems to work fine. I didn't realize it would take over my Home screen as well so I back to the 3 screens when I prefer just one but its kind of neat having both of them as an option.
