I'm looking for a completely vanilla rom. I know there's one called VanillaRom, but it still has a lot of Sense stuff left in it. How hard would it be to cook a completely vanilla one? Or maybe port CyanogenMod?
SEARCH for "Senseless". You can use it on most any rom and it removes almost all of the sense stuff.
Some of the sense stuff is necessary though which is why you probably won't find a completely vanilla rom. It's ugly anyways

what part of sense is necessary?
the htc sense roms we have require certain parts of herself to be intact so the setup menu works. i have a vanilla rom in the works but am having driver issues with the touch screen but the rom works just need to fix the touchscreen and figure out what else don't work since this is a port from another rom. but once i get the touchscreen working i'll have a beta up for you guys to tell me what needs tweaking.

You won't be able to fix it unless you write a custom kernel that will run Vanilla correctly.
Since we don't have the 2.26.29 kernel source, it'll be harder running it to 2.26.27 because everything needs to be backported then and it won't be as stable.

Hey guys, sorry for the n00b question, but after searching briefly, I couldn't find it anywhere else on the Hero forums. I am running Damageless non-expresso, and I wanted to know: Is there a way for me to remove ALL of sense ui? If HTC made it, I don't want it. I know, I know, should have gotten the moment, but I don't trust hardware keyboards after 3 terrible experiences with the Touch Pro. I have already found out how to get rid of Sense UI, but the thread said that it left "the HTC Dialer and HTC Customizations." I just want stock android 2.1 with the .29 kernel. What can I do? Is there another ROM I can get instead? Thanks.
Get Darch's AOSP ROM. I don't know if it has the latest kernel yet, but it is Sense-free.
Thanks, but...

Is there then a way for me to update the ROM to get the Camera working?

I think darch ran into some problems with the .29 kernel. either wait for him to give it a shot or take a stab at getting it going. Stripping sense out of a Rom would be a total pain to do at best.
Okay.
Thanks for the help and info. Will do.
Can anyone help?
As the title says - I'd really like help from you talented developers -
I love Wildpuzzle Rom. Love it to death. However - I can't (currently) get it to work w overclocking - I have one of the phones out there that only work w Jacob's kernel 4.1 - and none prior to that - and danne_jo's version of that kernel unfortunately just makes my phone restart at htc splashscreen all the time...
So I have 2 choices - either wait for danne_jo to somehow / sometime fix that kernel -
or....
change to cyanogenmod or openfire...
NOW. I am desperate to have HTC Sense in my phone. It's a must. Can't use the vanilla stuff, can't seem to get used to them, miss HTC Weather, Contacts, Dialer, Clock, list goes on forever.
So can anyone helpout here - PLEASE - do a flashable HTC Sense package that will work with Openfire or Cyanogenmod - or preferrably both.
My gratitude goes out to you people for your great work so far - and your possible help on this.
And danne_jo if you see this - I miss my Wildpuzzle a lot. Please try to make Jacob's 4.1 kernel work on Wildpuzzle (Froyo Version). It works on every other system but Wildpuzzle on my phone!
Thanks for your time!
+1 to that...
And if possible add flash support with that

If only Jacob's kernel works, then flash it to Wildpuzzle. It is fully compatible and is available standalone from Jacob's topic.
As for Sense, it's highly unlikely. At some point in the past there was a version of sense available for Cyanogen. However, in efforts to make the mod wholly legal, all components were removed. As far as I am aware, it would take extensive work and knowledge of the Sense UI code to build it into any ROM with an AOSP base.
If what you miss are the home screens and dialer, I suggest looking to LauncherPro and beautiful widgets, along with some of the custom dialers that exist.
I'd like to see this taken a step further honestly. A plain ROM with the 4.1 kernal, a pack to add the HTC apps (like there is for the Google stuff), etc. That way, one version of a ROM can be tailored to suit everyone interested in trying out of the growing user created ROM's.
I would if it worked. Both the one found on Jacob's kernel thread - and the one specifically made for Wildpuzzle by danne_jo causes bootloop on HTC Splashscreen. Why I have no clue. The one found in Jacob's thread works a treat on both Cyano and Open - only Wildpuzzle won't work.
And no, I'm looking for the whole Sense thing - except a few apk's that I can remove later...I MUST have HTC Contact above all, then Weather, Clock, and a few more...
Why is there no Stock Sense Froyo -
IF I figured out the howto's I'd do a Sense Rom based on Chinese Froyo - adding Sense from Stock 2.1 - w all the Chinese junk removed, Rom Manager, Root Explorer, Linpack, Setcpu, Superuser, Busybox added. Rooted, Deodexed (whatever that is), and OC'd w Jacob's 4.1 kernel.
Why has noone done that rom as of yet? I very much doubt I'm the only one who'd like such a rom.
And WHY oh Why won't Jacob's 4.1 kernel work on Wildpuzzle!

Kernel works in wildpuzzle eclair
Sent from CM6 on my HTC Wildfire
It may, I've never tried - and would rather not as I would like to keep the froyo speeds...
So basically what you're saying Jacob, is that your 4.1 kernel doesn't work w Froyo version of Sense? Not Wildpuzzle nor anything else? Am I correct? If Yes - any clue on why - and any plans of doing something against that? Same problem as before tho, won't give us an ADB as freezes/restarts before it connects...always on the HTC Splashscreen...
Any clue Jacob?

It won't work for me with WP Eclair. I lose wifi connection.
Not tried WP Froyo since the first release of it as I need the contacts shown and want the weather location to work.
Not for those of us w more bad blocks i'm afraid...
I would really love it to but it won't - gives me the same error that all the older OC kernels did w everything... - restart/freeze on htc splash screen so I can't even get an adb logcat...
but only on Froyo Wildpuzzle - works on Wildpuzzle Eclair (which I am now temporarily using, until Wildpuzzle Froyo is made to work) as well as Cyanogenmod and Openfire perfectly

Come on... You could have at least googled it.
That aside, I think that once we get a working AOSP build, then a MIUI build should be possible. Up to now, RIL has not been working on AOSP builds.
That would be awsome, but in english

So what u gonna do about the battery drain? I've heard that miui drain battery much faster than the stock rom.
None of it matters until we get kernel source for 2.2 we won't get anything near working. And FROYO isn't even out for blade yet.
Eph.
Couldn't we just take the launcher, dialer, browser, music player, fonts and lockscreen from the MIUI rom and add them to a standard rom?

Why? Froyo and Gingerbread work fine with older kernels. As far as I know there are no kernel customisations needed for MIUI so it should be possible to run it without building a kernel from source, but the 2G VM split in the ZTE roms will cause problems.
I did try to boot MIUI once, it didn't work, but I didn't try very hard. It should be possible.
If source was available it would be a lot easier. The messed up RIL setup on the blade will probably make it very hard to get RIL working without source.
amazing, don't we have a 2.2 kernel from the chineese which people at Modaco are already using?
Great News everyone. It is being worked on

So I absolutely love my HD2 with android on it. So much better than windows! But sense keeps getting in the way of my apps (mostly Wiimote apps) and it is getting really annoying...Is there a way around that? Or more to the point, does anyone know of a good rom that is android without sense that I can run?
cm7 based builds give you a good performance. you can also try miui builds they are fast too.

What problem are you having? (former serial ROM flasher!!!!)
Are you using HD2 Toolkit, makes life a lot simpler for flashing ROMS etc
if you ask 10 people here what rom they like your bound to get 20 different responces. your best bet is to try each rom intill you find a rom you like and stick with it. i have 2 or 3 roms i like best and keep them on my sd so when i feel i need to change i just flash 1 real quick.
if you take a look at this web page there is a list of all the android roms listed here on XDA. its much easier to look through then the pages here & also it tells you if it has sence or not, when it was updated, if its a nand or sd version, when it was added as well as some other useful information. i would check it out and hopefully you can find a rom you like that works for you.
Go try to "TyphooN CyanogenMod 7".
I think you will like it if you don't like sense roms.
Which CM rom is the closest to normal CM7 without any themes or graphical changes? Would it be Tytung's NexusHD2?

Is there a way to pull sense from a rom and put it onto another rom??
Example: im running a non sense version of ICS on my mytouch4g and want to use Sense 4.0 from another rom.
Is it possible and how??
Please help
No, well, it wouldn't be easy. The framework is pretty different. You need a sense rom to run all the sense widgets and stuff
No, it's impossible. It requires different framework, which requires different kernel, which adds up to completely different ROM.
ok then can i pull the camera from one working ICS rom and put it onto another
