Complete action using HTC Sense or Themer options.

So, you've installed a shiny new launcher but find that it doesn't quite meet your needs? Unfortunately, Sense doesn't come with a setting to choose the default launcher. No worries, though, because in this short guide, I'll show you how to revert back to any launcher, including the stock one. All you have to do is clear the default settings for your current launcher.

Go to the Apps section of your Settings app.
Select your current launcher (in this case Themer).
Select Clear Defaults.

Once the defaults have been cleared, you tap your home button to get a pop-up asking which launcher you will like to set as the new default.
