A way to uninstall Sense, or block it from booting?

---

I just started using GDE and have changed it to my default home, I'm asking if there is a way to block it from starting up, and if not a way to uninstall it altogether.

On a second question is there a way to use the HTC widgets like peep, home, ect.. and put them on GDE or home?

as with completely removing sense i dont know if its possible but sense ui is required for the widgets

1. click on search
2. in the drop down menu type "How to remove Sense UI / Rosie"
3. second result

when you install another home program dont you get a pop up that asks you which home screen you want to use? did it to me when i installed open home, u can click on a check box to make it default

yes it did, i chose gde and i prefer it over sense, check out some of my screens over in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=584379&page=5 thread. only gripe is i cant use all those nice htc widgets

Apparently to your misery of missing the htc widgets in alternative home launcher htc widget are not classed as android widgets they are specifically written to run on sense.

Market widgets run on android so they can be shown on other home launcher, only shortcuts of htc apps applies but that's not you want and you get the point overall htc widgets and htc sense are made for htc phones.

I agree sense is too simplistic on the downside and I too use a market home launcher.

Maybe try an AOSP custom rom, usually come looking like the original android interface.

If your on a deodoxed rom yes it is possible to delete sense all together u need rootexplorer and an already installed home alternative such as gde then u go to root explorer then system apps then delete rosie utility apk that's the launcher sense uses then u can go through and delete all the HTC apks and yes if u delete the HTC lockscreen you'll be on the default android lockscreen I was able to do this on nfinites sense froyo rom
