Set OpenHome as default?

Hey,

So I did something stupid. When I first installed OpenHome I found it buggy. So much so that I stopped using it. So whereas I had it as the default app when the home button was pressed, I went into settings and cleared it as the default. then the next time I pressed home and it asked me to choose the home action default I choose default home and checked it as the default. Now I want to go back to OpenHome to see if it is better yet. How do I get it to ask me if I want OpenHome as the default again? I've tried uninstalling/installing open home. No go. It just never asks me. when I press home it just uses default home. Any ideas?

Got it thanks. I do like this app. Maybe I will just buy it. Thanks again.

 

[ironosity]

Please do! Buy it! The more apps we buy the better chance of seeing higher quality apps made by major companies. Besides, let's reward the developers that make apps we like and use.

Im quite blown away by GDE, there is no slowdown aside from scrolling through the applications list.

Mine started that way but now its going slower for some reason, it may be the 4 "Application Docks" that are on my second screen...

I made a short vid of GDE running on the droid

Bottom buttons are Call, settings, and Add; these are actually customizable and can be set to shortcut to other items such as browser, contact list, SMS etc... They stay locked to the bottom regardless of the homescreen you are on.

Also, note that you can fast scroll thru several home screens with a strong flick

I'm running this with the Obsidian skin for GDE for those who are inquiring

OK so I bought it and it's taking a very long time to authorize. Very long.

Download unsuccessful...
it says it's purchased...but no gots...suggestions?

LOL I am getting more and more irritated by the second....it just won't down load. I also tried to use wifi, I connected no problem...but still no download.

I emailed the guy...he cancelled my order and I did it over again...everyting works great.
