After flashing new ROM, I initially set AOSP as my default launcher. I like TouchWiz3 better but now can't seem to get it to stick as default. Tried Homeswitch from the Market, and the set as default wont stick - home button keeps bringing me back to AOSP. ?

try factory reset
go to settings > applications > manage applications > all > launcher2 and clear data
or if you dont want the aosp launcher just delete launcher2.apk from system/app

That's a bit excessive. Find the launcher that's the current default in Settings->Applications->Manage Applications. There should be a "Clear Defaults" button.
@Entropy512. Well that was easy. Don't know why I couldn't figure that one out! thanks

I am seeking an explanation as to how a wallpaper setting manager to sneak through this process:
install Apex > full sbf > root > install liberty > full sbf > the wallpaper i had set for apex appears on first boot as the set wallpaper but not in the first sbf or in liberty, but after the second sbf...
How is this possible?
Your wallpaper choice is saved in your google account if you have "back up settings" checked. Did you log into gmail? If so, it will come back.

You should generally wipe cache/data from the stock recovery even after an SBF, some times things survive that you would not expect until after you have done that as well. I had the HTC Thunderbolt boot animation persist after an SBF until I wiped cache...
Sometimes things stick around. I still have the Liberty boot animation after about 20 sbf's.
Some apps also store prefs on sdcard (probably not the case here) so if you reload the app after loading the new ROM, it may mysteriously 'keep' the old settings.
I keep getting:
The application ADW.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
It keeps looping this over and over when I force close.... please help
First go to settings, then applications then manage applications find adw clear cache or data, then if that doesn't work uninstall then reinstall, and if that doesn't work I'd say do a clean install of rom, by the way which rom are u running?

I can't even get into settings at all....this happens when it unlocks and keeps looping so I can't even get to my homepage.
I tried to get into the market via voice search for android market, but when I try and launch the market, the market app crashes too!.
The phone is currently stock 100%, just carrier code unlocked..
Yup, mine started doing this when I change themes. How does one get in touch with developers?

You could have deleted adw via adb while in cwm or even while booted into the os.

If you were 100% stock then that means you had installed adw launcher from the market. Correct? If that's the case then you could also have just done a factory reset from within cwm and it should've cleared up any issues as it would've deleted any user-installed apps, including adw launcher.
Either way glad you found a solution.

Problem already solved but just for others visiting this thread, there is a way to get rid of the issue (which worked for me). when there was crash in ADW Launcher, statusbar still works. This is to key to get back to original theme (as you can't access settings directly to set default theme)
Opened status bar, start internet.
From another device (or desktop machine), send a mail to yourself with google play link for the new theme you just installed
Your status bar will now have new mail notification (assume its activated)
Now access your mail app and open the link from the mail
Now you have browser app opened with google play page
You will have uninsatll option for that theme. Just do it.
Now as new theme is uninstalled, your default theme will come in picture and everything will be normal.
I hope this will help others fall in similar situation after installing new theme.
Is it possible to make adw launcher a default launcher, and when i mean default i mean the stock launcher is gone thanks for help
HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
Since you're rooted you can get rid of it by just deleting the app from /system/app, using something like Root Explorer, but why bother? As long as AWD is set to default then the other launcher won't even run after a reboot (unless it's TouchWiz - I've been informed that that does run, so you need to delete all the widgets from the screens first.)
Generally, whenever I change launcher I tend to remove everything possible from the previous one I was using, just in case it ever does run for some reason.
ok cause the reason i ask is because if i were to do a factory restore it would delete adw because its an app, so that means when i start up it will say foreclose and ill have to find an apk and drop it into the phone and install. is it possible to make it cm7, ware its not an app, its a default launcher?
You're basically talking about making your own ROM. That's the only way to pick and choose what's included in it.
I downloaded adw ex and pushed it into system/app and installed, i clicked home and selected adw ex as default launcher, i turned off my phone and flashed a zip i found here on xda that deletes sense rosie apk and launcher, rebooted and now my phone is running off adw ex, i did a factory reset to see if it still works and it did. by moving the app into the system/app it cant be deleted unless i go inside and delete it. thanks for all your help guys
Cool. I will try on my tablet.

So you just moved the apk to system/app and installed it from there?
Yes, I as running HTC.launcher so I completely deleted that and now my adw is my stock launcher, the reason I moved it to system is because if you install it like a regular app what happens if you do a factory reset or it accedintaly gets deleted, in system app its now apart of your rom, and to prove that go to settings then applications, you will see that regualr apps can be deleted but system apps cant, all it offers is to delete updates, you would need titanium backup to delete system apks , so that's why I moved it to system/app, (push Adw to system/app and install)
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
Let me start by saying I love the viper one rom, it's clean, fast, and the tweak setup is super easy and quick.
With that said, I'm extremely disappointed in the newest update from 2.1 to 2.2. After updating my phone runs slower then the stock default phone, contacts, and sms messaging apps take 3 times as long to load when it was instant before. All of my other complaints are aesthetic ado I won't ramble on about that.
Why is it so clunky of an update? Am I missing a peace to streamline it? Can I stop it from showing the "new update" notification because I sure don't want to use 2.2
would have posted this to the Rom thread but I don't have the permission due to being new. Thanks for any input!

Go to settings -> personalize -> skin and "reuse" the HTC Skin. (second entry in the personalize settings)
That fixed the problem for me, now it's not that buggy anymore.
Maybe you also want to clear the cache/app data from the Venom Tweaks/HUB Apps in the settings if you still have some bugs, that could also help. (settings -> apps -> all apps (tabs on the bottom, last one) -> Venom Tweaks -> clear data & clear cache)
If you would have searched in the main thread of the ROM you would have found this solution For example in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39160456&postcount=4239
(I also searched some time to get the solution but as you see I found one)
Yeah I tried all those fixes with no luck, I'm a programmer so I have no problem digging around in the system. I rolled back the Rom and its back to running smith, looks like I'll just have to wait tell the next update and hope its solved.
Thanks for the input though

viper one s 2.1
Was able to get into CM 12, and get it setup. Was in PS and went back to home and
"Unfortunately Launcher3 has stopped'. I have been able to go into settings and clear cache, reboot, but it still comes up in launch and I can no longer get into anything, other than settings. I've also cleared it's cash and data, rebooted... same result.
I've gone into TWRP and cleared cache, no difference.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

You probably set Launcher3 as your default launcher. Press on Clear Defaults and then select a launcher other than Launcher 3.
