Hello,
I've searched the forum but couldn't find a rom that satisfies my minimalistic needs.
I don't need HTC Sense
I don't need facebook, footprints, friend stream, google search, gmail, news and weather, peep, twitter, stocks, talk and voice search.
Just need a phone that can sync with my google account, all other applications should be optional (may be installed later if needed)
Is there any froyo based minimalistic ROM like that? Or do I have to cook one for myself (I don't know how to cook a rom)
Thanks.

If you remove sense you loose all the sense widgets.
BUT!
Go on OpenDesire!!!! and test it (you just loose FM Radio).
Else wait for a Rom without Sense. or try Spartan (as i remember)
That would be really something.

Can anyone include HTC Sync or something useful as it in the new ROMs?
I can't use your fantastic roms because I can't sync my phone simply with outlook... I tried some other ways to do it (android-sync, gmail, ....) but if you use so often calendar and contacts they are not the best way!
Thanks!
As has been stated before, no Sense = no HTC Sync. Since there are no Sense FroYo roms yet, the answer would be "no"
Hello all,
i'm running root with leedroid 1.7.
now i've used facebook on i believe defrost and i had some great sync options like, sync current contacts, which I'd like as to be honest a lot of my friends on fb are through a sport I play and we don't speak outside of the sport, so I don't need everyone listed in my phonebook.
the default facebook app in sense and the one on the market both have either sync or don't sync.
Is there a special fb apk I can use, or is this a strange sense limitation. I have twitter running too and I have the options I mentioned, but not for facebook.
TIA
Luke.
Hi Folks
What's the best ROM, if any, if I don't want social networking? For cleanliness, space and speed, I'm looking for a ROM that has removed Facebook, Footprints, Friend Stream, Peep, Plurk and Twitter amongst others. I simply never use them so my phone is carrying a lot of baggage I don't need or want.
I can't seem to find a ROM that fits the bill, even the "basic" ROMs seem to include all or most of these.
Probably just me being dense...
Thanks

Any AOSP roms, such as OpenDesire or Defrost, you loose HTC sense, but if your wanting a cut down speedy version, your looking for vanilla android.
Or you could delete those applications from your current phone, either ADB from recovery and delete the apps or use S-OFF, mount the system as r/w and use an explorer (root explorer) to delete them.

I go with Modaco´s kitchen rom, you can just remove/add what feature you want.
Moved to Q&A. Please do not post question threads in Development.
You can remove those applications from Sense ROMs pretty easily as has been said. That's what I did on mine, no problems at all.

Can you please suggest me an other launcher that can do all sense's sync abilities?
Because i want to flash no sense roms. But others' launchers can't sync contacts like sense... Example, sense contacts note the people's facebook or others ID numbers in google contacts list. Then when you flashed some other rom, it can completely renew all of your contacts basically.
I have already now syncing people like, facebook, Twitter, foursquare, Skype, tango, what'sup msg ext...
Is there any application that can do all basically?
(I hate to install any contacts application to change my own. I'm searching all in one roms)
Thank you for all...

What people tend to do is use the google sync to sync the contacts. For the rest you'll need to download the apps to sync the other services.
There are some apps that have several in one. For example imo messenger (not sure if it's that one) has msn, skype and several others.
What you could do is go into the market, search for facebook for example, and read the description of the other apps. Some of them will sync facebook and twitter.
Regarding the roms, there will be a seperate file to download called google apps which is for no sense roms. They are usually listed in the op.
Not sure if there is a single rom that does what you want. There is a reason it's a no sense rom.

?
why is there so amny sesnse stuff?
if you want a rom that does it all for you , you should use a sense one and stay on it cz aosp roms you must do everything by yourself, its just pure android as google release it
Sense is hard to replace, now I'm using a custom ics rom, with standard launcher plus beautiful widget and pure messenger that are good apps but aren't free.

Hey guys,
I have Sense 7 flashed to my M8 using Skydragon.
I really like the idea of Sense Home and think it will be useful for me, but I was hoping to add more locations than just Home, Work and Out.
Is there a possibility to add more locations?
For example, if I am in my hometown I may use spotify, facebook, twitter, whatsapp etc
But if I am in London for the day, I will use Uber, Tripadvisor, Google maps etc
