HTC Sense and wallpaper app has been removed from Main menu, How do you restore?

I seem to have fat fingered the main menu, dragging, of all things the HTC Sense and Wallpaper from the main menu.  In fact,  having said that, I can no longer scroll through the menu screens that once existed.   I can get them to appear as "shadows" on the main menu, but that's it.   I have navigated to settings / applications / manage applications but have not succeeded in finding a way to reactivate the Sense and Wallpaper apps, or at least to make them reappear from where ever I dragged them to.  Before I bury myself, thought  I'd better look for help. Needless to say,  I'm new to this device and have managed to out strip my skill level in less than 2 weeks!

Sorry, one more.  In the manage applications menu, go to home and select clear defaults as well.  Maybe you disabled Sense all together??????

Not sure if this will work (or even how that happened) but you could try disabling sense, then turning it back on.  I think you can do this by pressing menu>settings>applications>manage applications, select the all tab at the top of your screen, scroll down to and select HTC Sense, then select clear defaults.  Then press your home button, a menu should pop up asking what action you would like to take, choose Home (or whatever the other option is besides Sense) but do not select use as default.  At this point you may want to reboot your phone then, when it comes back on, if it does not ask you again, press home button and select Sense.  If you can confirm this works, the next time you choose Sense, you can select it as default.  Kind of a shot in the dark, hope this helps.  

 

Also, you may want to clear data on Sense (same place as clear defaults).  This will force you to set your homescreens and any settings or profiles you have created through Sense, but that would be my next guess.

 

Oh, and if you are using a task killer, disable it.  Just throwing out ideas here.  Again, hope something here helps.

Home isn't available on the Dinc, demmo. I checked that out at a Verizon store once.

As for what the OP did, I'm having a hard time picturing what happened myself. Did you delete the big clock widget that Sense UI is known for?

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
