Help Default as Go Launcher

when you installed it you should have been given a dialog box to make GoLauncher your default launcher (as it is my default launcher). Perhaps you missed this?
I don't know how disable the sense ui default, because I only owned a sense phone for a month or two. You may try to look for the launcher in
Settings>Applications>All In the list see if you can something like launcher or sense launcher and select it. There will an option at the bottom of screen that says "launch by default" In the section select "clear defaults" then the next time you hit the home key it should offer you a list of apps. Select golauncher AFTER you've checked "use by default for this action"
You're set.
Welcome!

hey...i have xperia x10i and had the same problem....try home smack a free app from market....it worked for me....bye
As Steven says, go into settings->applications->manage applications->all. I think the launcher will just be called "HTC Sense", but could be Sense, (or possibly Rosie, which is the actual name of the Sense launcher app).
Or you could try installing Home Switcher from the market and selecting "clear defaults" - this will take you to the management page for your current default launcher, where you can clear defaults as described above.

I also use Go Launcher and the only time the default option comes up is after I have installed the app, started it and then restarted the phone.

The "Set as default" option only comes available when there is no default set and more than 1 option that can carry out the action..
When you only have one launcher, Home brings up your launcher. There is no default set as there is no need to set a default on 1 launcher.
If you install another launcher, it will prompt to set as default as there are now 2 launchers and no default set. Once a default is set, it should remain default until the defaults are cleared on either launcher.

Select all tabs
Then scroll down till you find Launcher App labeled as Sony Erricson Home .

See where it says launch by default. If it is highlighted press on it, this is for the stock launcher is not the default. Tap Clear Defaults ...

i have a better solution in case if you forget to chose default at time of installing. go to setting/applicatiom/manage application/go launcher/ and click on clear defaults tab. now open go launcher(or simply press home) this time it will ask to chose from 2 or more home app. now check default application....it worked on my galaxy fit.
