how to fully remove the remove the Sense-ui from the rom?
i just need htc's application.
even i changed to use launcher pro, it sense-ui also running at the background .
delete rosie.apk and all sence widgets from /system/app/ make sure you set launcherpro as your default home before doing this as you may end up with a force close loop on boot otherwise
Well sense is a huge part of the system and framework as well. Why not just flash an aosp Rom from the development section. That way you get completely rid of it.
Search the forum for supervillain, its a great stable rom, has all the HTC apps, no sense UI and launcher pro as default

How can i port sense ui to vanilla rom?
Which are interested files?
I already know about needing to edit init.rc, to put customize folder in system and to copy htc apps and libs but i can't get it working, how can i do?
Well, you'll definitely need the htc framework / res in /system/framework
along with Rosie, and the associated widgets in /system/app

I have to edit framework-res too, right?
No, although you need com.htc.resources.apk.
Ok, i tried to do this but there are some problems
1. There aren't sense colors (for example highlight color is android's original orange)
2. There aren't sense images
3. Notify bar is white and not black
4. Rosie Home FC continuously
How can i fix?
1: copy over the framework from /system/framework from another rom
2: copy over the htc-specific apps from /system/app (you definitely need rosie.apk and htcaddprogramwidget.apk, amongst others)

1. Already tried, stuck on bootscreen
2. Copied all htc apps
Ideas?
Just download Villain, and copy every apk starting with HTC from system/app.
You could try copying the framework too, but I've had a lot of problems porting it over 100% working vanilla builds. Try copying the framework over, but I can't guarantee it'll even boot. I think Villain is pushing it.. there are so many Sense apps and widgets that it seems sluggish.
Adwinp had it just right with his [email protected] roms. Perfect balance of Sense and no-sense. Very quick, but looked like sense.

I tried taking sense from villain and from hero/espresso hybrid:
- With villain if i copy the framework i can't get the phone to boot, if i don't copy the framework the rom starts but rosie give continuosly FC
- With espresso hybrid without copying the framework the rom doesn't recognize rosie as home, if i copy framework phone doesn't boot
Solutions?
Well
I can safely say it's being worked on . And Even more so that it is possible.
I currently have a working build based on Espresso Rosie with only a few problems in HTC widgets to iron out.
I can't promise when it'll get released (if at all) on my current schedule, but if I find the time to finish it for my personal needs. (I can't currently afford the time to keep flashing from my stock ROM to the Vanilla 2.1 I'm building it on).
I'm sure someone will beat me to a working build, but depending on how this next week goes with my real work, I may or may not have the time to finish it.
Just tried merging villain's framework-res with my rom's one, the phone remains on bootscreen

Out of interest - are you trying to re-sign the framework-res? Re-signing it with test keys will force it to hang on the boot screen.
I believe the launcher is the same... correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah...
I resigned it with stericson's method
So... we can't modify graphics in that res package? I wanted to customize it
Sorry for the little bit of thread hijacking here.
I too am interested in porting Sense, but to a Samsung device that's currently not supported in this forums - the Galaxy Spica (i5700).
I have tried to copy all HTC apps but the phone did not recognize them. For example, if I push all apps to /system/app and press the home button, the default home comes out and not sense (no prompt either).
Every other app FCs (for example com.htc.music or com.htc.browser).
Copying the HTC framework to the phone would result in eternal bootscreen.
Copying all the libs to the phone would result in hang
Hi guys
I'm working on a them for our gs, with launcher pro plus
My theme use a lot of widget and complexe position in different screen (7)
Is it possible to create a back up for all the widget and their position and cook a rom that use all my work ?
the idea is: you flash my custom darky , and after the install and 1st boot, you have all widget in their right place in launcher pro
But A thing makes me perplexed .
When i go to launcher pro tools, at "back up homescreen ans sittings" there is a prevent message:
Due to limitation in the Android system, widget connot be backed up.

Damned
Anybody have a solution to this?
is it realy IMPOSSIBLE to make something like that with android and launcher pro?
I can believe that..
Here's a trick
When restoring with launcher pro do this :
Restore
Then when it says to restart launcher pro, reboot your phone instead
When it loads your widget's should be functional.
Try it out.
thanks for the tricks!
But is it possible to save all widget position and put them in a darky's rom , so everybody can have the same when flashing?
Well u can edit the default workspace xml or using the method described above make it so when flashing the update.zip of the rom, it places a preconfigured launcherpro backup into the /data/data folder of launcherpro and hence upon restart it should work.
^^ All theoretical
i removed sense and am using launcher pro now, I noticed that rosie settings is still installed
question is if i removed sense with calc's script, do I still need rosie settings on my device or should i remove it as well?
Thank You
Hi XDA,
So I surfed around the internet and found that there were no 100% Gingerbread non-modified, messed around with ROM's for the DHD. This is annoying because I recently changed from a Desire (Running Oxygen) to the Desire HD, and when it come's to custom ROM's, I like them as clean and as close to Stock as possible. I know I sound picky, but I suffer from OCD, and things like Cyanogen where the Menu has 5 apps in a row, and the UI is frankly 'rubbish*' annoy me.
So I was just wondering, is there anything I have missed? I would really like a close-to-stock ROM, just like Oxygen for the Desire on my DHD. If I could make the ROM myself, I would, but unfortunatly I'm not the sort of person that can do that, my computer skill's ain't so good. Let's put it this way, its Stock Gingerbread, or Stock Sense for me*.
I have tried Spike's Gingerbread and I didn't like it as it wasn't very fast and was bogged up with left-over Sense things.
*No offence to Cyanogen users, It's a personal opinion, not a description. The overall ROM is fast, and mostly bugfree, its just the UI that puts me off.
** I don't want a Sense ROM whatsoever, but if I can't find a stock ROM then I will go back to Stock Sense.
Uhhh, U know, that you can simply change the home-launcher to get another "GUI"?
I'm running latest CM7 nightly + LordMod 4.1 BFS Kernel + Zeam Launcher and everything is smooth as hell + the screen is "normal".

Well I know that I could simply download a launcher from the Market and set it? But then the ADW stuff would still show up in the Settings bit.

And why don't you simply uninstall ADW?

If you uninstall ADW, if you were on the Homescreen and Pressed Menu>Settings, ADW Settings would still appear on that list in Cyanogen even if uninstalled, am i correct?

I don't think so. It should be dead and gone.
To be sure, simply --> Install *insertrandomlanucherhere* --> switch to that launcher --> uninstall ADW.
I've never seen any remains from ADW.
To be 200% sure --> make use of Titanium Backups uninstall function.

Or, you could just take out the ADWLauncher.apk from the zip in the /system/app directory, and put whatever launcher apk you want.
I did just this with Launcher Pro and there is not a trace of ADW even on first boot...
On the Sense of all I like just lockscreen 3.0 and caller id
All the rest does not interest me and just eats resources of the phone.
Question: Is it possible to completely cut interface Sense, but to leave lockscreen and called id? how?
P.S.:
1) I use do not sense a launcher (adw)
2) On the loсkscreen i use the clock (weather and albums on it does not interest me)
ROM: MDJ's ViVO Sense v.3.0.9
Kernel: MDJ's V21
Radio: 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
i've never used it before, but it seems promising...
[SCRIPT] Flashable ROM Cleaner v1.0.4 - Weight reduction for Sense ROMs (26/5/11)
You can modify the script to remove things that you want.
open the .zip file you used to flash your lockscreen 3.0 to the phone, and make sure none of the files in there is removed by the script.
Im not sure about which file is responsible for the caller ID. So you can either wait for someone else to tell you or search for it!
**Make sure you make a Nandroid before doing this...just in case**
Thanks.
It's not absolutely what I wanted, but something.
While stopped at a bunch:
1) ROM Cleaner
2) hand removal of certain applications (including launcher) with Titanium Backup
This leads to increase free RAM from ~180 to ~ 200 mb
PS
Ideally I'd like to keep only lockscreen and caller id. And, say, insert them into the firmware without Sense (for example Cyanogen Mod)
If you use ARHD (and tbh even if you don't it might work on other sense roms) there's a nosense script that keeps some of the best parts of sense and gets rid of others- take a look

This script completely removes Sense.
If I use it and then flash lockscreen 3.0 then I get a non-working ROM.
1) Using this script (No-Sense + + 1.3.4) I got 360 MB free RAM.
2) If the cut part sense (with ROM Cleaner v1.0.4) and thus leave the launcher and lockscreen, then I get 220 MB free RAM
Is the launcher and lockscreen so much to eat?
I don`t know how to full delete Sense and stay worked Lockscreen
Sorry, I thought it kept some things like the people app, dialer etc, but I haven't looked at in a while (don't use the sense launcher but still use everything else sense-wise)
