So basically i wanna remove Sense and Widgets from InsertCoin, but keep the functions that make Sense great like the Camera, Facebook Sense...Oh and also the Lockscreen to the Vanilla one. I've seen plenty of scripts written for other phones and none seem to work for Desire sadly Any halp?
Open the zip before flashing (don't extract it) and remove all the widgets and other stuff you don't want. Either in system/app or data/app. The flash it with signature verification turned off.

install the rom and if you are s-off install different launcher like adw or launcher pro. Go to root explorer and delete folder called rosie
Oh damn, i suppose i should have read this
But how do I remove the Sense incoming call screen???
Plug phone into ADB (if you have it on your PC) or use astro file manager go to system/apps and delete htclockscreen.apk then unplug the phone and restart it will go back to the original AOSP lockscreen.
And id suggest using ADW Launcher EX. then you get all the HTC apps with the AOSP look
EDIT: Also you need to get another alarm clock because deleting the htclockscreen.apk file means you cant turn off your alarm
iDidit!
Okay, so following the post that was located in baadnewz's website (which was linked from the same page as the ROM LOL) i have removed all the stuff i want, such as the Launcher, all Sense widgets and most apps except for Friend Stream (for facebook photo syncing) Gmail, Stocks and a few other things but added ADW Launcher 1.3.6 (not for constant use, just so the ROM would have something to go to after setting up as i am using ADW EX). After doing so i gave myself 10-20~MB in extra space! resulting from a 188MB Installation zip to 170~MB! I have to say, the smoothest DHD ROM I've ever used! I think i might just PM baadnewz himself to see what he thinks of my 'work'
I will edit this post to add photos...I may post a DL link depending on how many people 'thank' this post

Long story short, I installed the Desire Animated Flip Clock. I do have other nandroid backups however, when i flashed the animated clock, I did not make a back up because I didn't know if I'll stick with that particular rom or not. But I did and now I want to revert back to the original HTC Sense clock.
I know that I can reflash the rom on top of what I have now. And although I wouldn't have to reinstall my apps, settings etc i would have to reinstall all my other mods that I have installed.
So my question is are there a flashable zip somewhere that someone know of that would reinstall the sense clock? Is there away i can remove the original sense clock from another rom and just install it on mine?
Thanks
We need more info, some roms can be flashed in that manner(one on top of another), in other cases it can cause major instability. As a general rule, when you are asking for help always post the following: Phone, Rom, Kernal, and in this case any themes you have used.Hope to hear from you soon!
EDIT: WOW, posting when I first wake up makes me look like an A$$!!! Sorry, read your post with half open eyes and cigarette smoke flowing across!LOL
A better answer is what rom are you using? From what you said, if the sense clocks were part of the rom originally, and you know 100% FOR SURE that it is okay to flash it on top, then I say go ahead and do it, OR go to where you got your Desire clock and ask the OP if they can put together a flashable zip for you, most of the theme devs can throw something like that together for you in about 30min.!!!

Just have someone grab the apk and upload it, I can't atm. I want to say its HtcClockWidget.apk but I could be wrong.
Then uninstall the current one, push the stock one, and install and you should have it
I found the apk, uploading now. nand Backup before you do any of this please
Download HtcClockWidget.apk.zip here and remove the .zip extension and put it in your android/tools folder
Remove any clock widget from your home screens
adb remount
adb shell
rm /system/app/HtcClockWidget.apk
Ctrl-C
adb push HtcClockWidget.apk /system/app/
You should be good to go
Not responsible for any loss, please nand backup before doing this

Tried it, no work
Ive tried pretty much everything..all those methods work fro everyone else but not me..like wdf
i think it is an .xtml edit that makes it move. try downloading the ANIMATED FLIP CLOCK that you want gone, and unzip it. look at everything it changes. then unzip your rom, find all the things that the desire clock mods, and push those. just thinking outside the box.
EDIT: nvm it only changes the .apk i am stumped. bi

This didn't work for me.
Widget doesn't show up in the available widgets list, even after a reboot. Can't install the apk with ES File Explorer or Root Explorer either.
Why does the file have a .zip extension, if we are just supposed to remove the extension?
I was able to push the newer flip version back to the phone, and it was fine again...
I removed some of the standard applications in the MIUI firmware (like Music).
App is removed, but it remains the widget.
In "\system\app" folder I do not see it.
How can I remove this widget? And the other system - such as a clock, photo frame, search etc.
Do you have S-OFF?
If you are S-OFF, you can do it directly in rom with an explorer which has root rights (e.g. root explorer)
If you are not S-OFF, you have to it via ADB:

I have S-OFF.

but where are these widgets? as I wrote in "\system\app" folder I do not see it. there is an application, but not widgets. When I remove applications, widgets still remain.

This is because the stock widget are applications seperate from their applications. Just find those applications that has part of its name that matches the application you removed. (eg. For sense roms, to remove Facebook for HTC Sense completely, delete htcfacebook.apk and htcfacebookwidget.apk)

Guys, do you see what I write?
1. I ALREADY deleted the application (eg "Music").
2. NO files in the folders widget! Generally NO more files, whose name somehow related to "Music".
3. NOT Sense, but MIUI. I know how to remove widgets in Sense. in MIUI of this recipe does not work!
Hi...
I am a total noob at development.....I have just downloaded a ROM from the development forums.....I was wondering if there is a way to install another launcher ...( i want to install ilauncher)......
what is the way and how can I do it ???
I have downloaded the ilauncher.apk from market....
what to do next ???
do I install it like any other application or I need to do something else ??
any help will be appreciated...
thanxxx
Usually it should be the normal procedure. After downloaded and install from Play Store, press home button and it should prompt for which launcher to use and option to make default launcher.

you could use root explorer , mount r/w and remove the launcher apk from system/app, thus removing it from the system, wehn i used to change launchers in cm7 i did this so i would prevent any confictions with the other launcher, also move the launcher apk to the system/app

True but may i add, you need to move the apk to system/app then installing it before removing default launcher.

First of all, I assume you are running a Desire Z (hence you post in this forum), but you need to provide more info - is it a rooted/not-rooted device, what is the ROM you are using, have you made any modifications to the message app that you are currently using?
If you are running a not-rooted Desire Z, you should (after a few app data wipes) concider installing another SMS app client (go sms, handcent sms - via market), if those don't work too, then I suggest a factory reset, and that is all you can do I'm affraid.
If you have a rooted device, you may try to substitute the original system mms.apk with another one (renaming the original to .apkbak, just in case, and clear the data of messaging app in the app manager menu one more time). You can find a themed MMS.apk in the Desire Z subforums. If that doesn't help, I myself would try another ROM, but based on the same Android version as current one. If the probel reaccurs (unlikely if you change ROMs), then no idea from now on.

I'm using a rooted desire z and with gen.y b5 rom sense 4a
Sent from my Desire Z using xda app-developers app
First of all, try and use another SMS app, like Go SMS from play store or Handcent SMS. If that won't help, try this:
Go to forums - Desire Z apps section, find a modded MMS.apk app (for example a themed one, found in the bottom of this first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683240 ), place the modded MMS.apk on your SD card somewhere.
Download root explorer from (or any root browser file) if you don't have one.
1. Go to root explorer, enter the folder system/app
2. Find MMS.apk, rename it to MMS.apkbak (this will be your backup file of the original MMS app)
3. Go to your SD card directory using root explorer, find the modded MMS.apk
4. Copy the modded MMS.apk to the system/app folder. REMEMBER, if the app is named different than MMS.apk, it will not work, so rename it to MMS.apk.
5. Now set permissions of the new MMS.apk to rw-r-r (root browser has persmissions setting while long-press on an app file)
6.Close root browser, go into settings, wipe data of messeging app from there
7. Reboot your phone. Might as well wipe the data again. Won't hurt.
If this will not help you, I suggest trying to find a native MMS.apk app for your ROM (ask someone on forums to post it) and try the above the same way.
So every time I flash CM10 and GApps JB, I have to go through and uninstall about 13 apps that I just don't want. It is very cumbersome and I was hoping that somebody could show me a template for a script or CWM zip file that I could add to that would remove all the apps for me.
Thanks
Which apps don't you want? You could probably just create a Windows batch file or a Linux bash script to run a bunch of adb uninstall commands.
Ones like:
News & Weather
Gmail
Music Wallpapers
Magic Smoke wallpapers
Android Live Wallpapers
Phase Beam
Galaxy Wallpaper
There are a few more that I can't think of right now. Next time I flash, I'll write them down.
Are you doing a clean install every time or just upgrading? If you're just upgrading, you can "disable" each of the apps and they should remain disabled after updates.
Have you tried deleting the apks you don't want from the rom zip?
I do that all the time. Including swapping out the boot.img and bootanimation.zip to my preference of kernel and animation, respectively.
