Removing sense from stock rom - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to remove the HTC apps (including the sense U/I and launcher) from the stock 2.2 rom and install the AOSP apk's? I tried using custom roms, but the lack of a stable 4G is causing me to go back to the normal rom.
Thanks!

Well you can delete the sense.apk for the ui and get the aosp design, but you won't be able to installed the aosp apks. [As far as I know]. Regardless, if its not an "htc sense apk" the apk should install.

there are a few roms... sense roms... almost completely stripped of it. non aosp.
vaelpak has a rom with a lot or most sense removed

...and non sense

There is a flashable zip that would strip sense down to bare minimum. IIRC the dev was OmegaSun..

OpenDesire + some Sense Apps?

Hi!
I'm currently switching between two roms, OpenDesire and a rooted froyo stock sense rom. I kind of miss some stuff in both of them.
Now i'm looking for a way to combine these two. Is it possible to get the sense mail and the calendar app to work on od? Or the stock android lock screen and caller id to run on a sense rom?
Thanks in advance

You can't use Sense apps in a non-Sense ROm as they're Sense apps - they NEED Sense to run
I thought maybe you could put the parts of sense that these apps need to run into a non sense rom :-/
As mentionned by EddyOS running Sense programs on stock ROM is not possible.
But running Stock apps on Sense ROM is possible ( espacially, as you asked, stock android lock screen and caller id to run on a sense rom).

[Q] Sense ROM

Do you think Cyanogen would bring out a sense ui rom rather than implementing some sort of sense touch to its roms?
Cyanogen is specifically only for AOSP rom's there is no chance that he will come out with a sense rom and also if you want the design of sense rom's you can use different widgets to achieve that.
Yeah, Sense is not what CM is about. And that is why there are a variety of ROMs from various chefs. If you want Sense, flash a ROM that has it.

and sense 2.1 is in that rom?
no pure sense 2.1 rom, only 2.1+3.0
and i dont think you can simply delete .apk since its connected to some other files (framework.res ?)
Cook your own ROM.
And post it here, for people to donate to you

InsertCoin 1.0.5 is mostly sense 2.1 (no weather lockscreen, just the ring). It's rock solid, so you could just flash that.
I'd recommend taking a look at Cool AceS rom - it's pure Sense 2.1. I've been using it for quite a long time and all I can say is that it's very stable and fast enough for day-to-day use. And don't forget updating the kernel to v5 to get the compass working.
I use RCMixS 2.0 but removed the lockscreen.apk from the rom zip before flashing.
All that remains is sense 2.1. Fast, smooth, stable and good battery life!

Alex-V, baadnwz and teppic74 have their stock 2.3 roms based on the latest official release.
Yes but with HTC apps.......and odexed......
unofficial BravoS from coolexe?
that has sense 2.1 only and htc apps
you can just remove htc apps from the zip before you flash it too
good, but I can do simply:
rm -rf "/system/app/*htc*"
My real question is: "how can I recognize which is HTC apps ?"

most of them do have HTC slapped in there somewhere..
e.g. com.htc.facebook.apk or com.htcmail.apk
if you google or search around i think there's a list of all the safe to remove apps somewhere and what they do
thank u a lot

[Q] Best HTC Wildfire Custom Sense ROM?

Hi everyone. I currently have CyanogenMod Nigtly on my Wildfire, but I'm getting bored with the non-sense look. I've already tried searching for a custom sense rom, but most of them has the really old Android OS.
Can anyone please tell me where I can find a good working Custom ROM with sense, and has at least Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 on it?
Thanks!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269485
This is the closest fully working Sense Gingerbread ROM.
@3xeno Thanks! I see there's a lot of problems with most Sense ROM's.... And not a lot of ROM's are being made with sense included. Why??
Mainly because its so much work porting and resizing a Rom that wasn't designed for us.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Scratch is right. It's simply because official Gingerbread Sense was never released for the Wildfire. Ports from other devices can only go a certain distance.
Rempuzzle
There arnt any stable sense 3.0 + roms so....
I suggest Rempuzzle rom because it supports live wallpapers, sticks to sort of sense look ect
For 2.2.1 Sense based ROM if you are interested, I would be recommending you to go for dk Rom or Rempuzzle

Stock Camera on Sense-based ROMS?

So I got my HTC One X a few days ago. I wanted to flash a ROM on it, but I like the stock camera. I read somewhere that I can't put the stock cam on sense-less roms. so it would be possible to put it on sense-based roms?
I saw this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705334
it's sense-based. would it be possible to use the stock camera here? I think it would, but I'd like to make sure :fingers-crossed:
Yes it works in ANY sense based rom. Even if you de-sense a rom you are only getting rid of the launcher and a few other bloatware apps. The camera app won't be removed.
It's not compatible on non sense based roms such as CM9/CM10/AOSP/AOKP based roms as they utilise stock Google and extremely hard to port over due to closed drivers and certain libs.
