For those that don't want Sense - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

So the best android build so far is defintely is the Stone series w/ Sense IMO. But if you don't want the Sense home screen just install Launcher Pro from the market. Then disable Sense, click the menu (windows) button, choose Applications, choose manage application, find Sense and clear defaults. Click the home button and you will be prompted to choose a launcher, select Launcher Pro. Done.
You still have the HTC keyboard and dialer, which is what I prefer, you cannot use HTC widgets, but lose the HTC Launcher. Best of both worlds for myself.

yeah...

I'm sure "Most people" don't know about Android after just coming over from WinMo. Just sharing what I just figured out and there is no faster/ stable build to choose from.

is there a way to install a sense build and change the apps loader to something like launcher pro and at the same time use the widgets such as friendstream and news fro htc sense?
i would like that to very much happen but was unable to do so when i tried it on a sense build..

is there a way to change the people app to the default froyo contacts?

^what he said!

is there a way to have everything be stock froyo?

is there a way to have everything be stock froyo?

AOSP 1.5?

The link in the "sticky wiki" isn't working.... Is there an AOSP 1.5 ROM in existence?
I love the 1.6's but SMS doesn't work for me (deal-breaker) and data connection is lost a lot (bummer)
I just want my Hero to be vanilla and have everything work. Anyone point me in the right direction?
Go get a gutted rom - about as vanilla 1.5 as you can get for Hero.

Sounds great... uh, where? I'm comfortable with wiping, flashing, etc, but have never built my own ROM. Are you saying download the HTC newly released source, or are you referring to something else in existence?
I'm on the AOSP 1.6 now, but would love to have a "Senseless" 1.5 that's as fast as this AOSP 1.6 is.
Search the forum for Gutted 1.5 since it appears that the wiki is down.

I did, but that's only the home app. I'd like just vanilla. Plus I really like the stock calendar app better than HTC's version.
No one has done an aosp 1.5 yet suprisingly enough.

Yeah that doesn't work for me either. It's not the appearance that bugs me, it's the complete drop in performance that all the HTC stuff causes.
Thanks for the suggestion tho!
Didnt HTC "hack" 1.5 to use CDMA?
Ok, not really hacking, but CDMA wasnt supported until 1.6.

2.0
We have 2.0 that works well. Everything but camera and bluetooth. I use it a lot, it's AOSP 2.00
Just go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>HTC Sense>Clear Defaults. Then press Home. It will say HTC Sense or Home. Check the box and pick Home. Voila!

Yeah, I guess until HTC releases the 2.1 kernal (or whatever we're still missing) all these ROMs will be broken in one way or another. It's a matter of picking which things bug you the least. I don't need bluetooth, but I use the camera a lot. :-(

Yeah, that changes your home app to the default Android Home, but it doesn't get rid of Sense. HTC Sense is much more than just the home screen.

It is the closest you can get without digging in and making your own ROM. There's also a white taskbar update.zip, as well as some other mods.

This gets me thinking, couldn't we just put our kernel under a moment Rom? Then we could have "vanilla" android?
If there really is enough interest in this, I could look into stripping all of the sense and htc framework from the base 1.5 rom, but I will make no promises since I'm more interested in my work on the 2.6.29 kernel...

But I actually WANT HTC Stock Apps...

Hi All,
I'm running Senseless / Cyanogen V1 and I really want some of my stock HTC Apps back. I'm talking Browser, Camera, People, etc.
Can anyone help? I know it's not as simple as dropping a APK and installing.
Thanks.
ok first
why not post this in the acuall forum for this rom?
seconds if you read the whole first post, theres a download apps.zip u flash after the install of it. to get them back.

You are referring to the Sense UI. You must choose a rom that keeps the Sense UI that the Eris comes with.
The Sense-able or Evil Eris roms are ideal, but the Senseless and Cyanogen roms do not include it.
This is the fundamental debate on roms - Sense or No-Sense...

Whoa partner, slow your roll with the hash comments. No need for negativity toward the hard work done by some great devs!
Plus, you are missing the point. The many helpful devs posting above ^ have stated that you cannot install the Sense components onto a non Sense based rom. It just won't happen...
Okay, I apologize if I have offended anyone with my "blue" comment, but personally I enjoy the natural green glow of the android.
Okay, thanks for the clarification. I just wish there was somehow a ROM with everything I want.

I used them before back when I first got my phone. They really seemed to lag me up. I might give them a shot again when I install White Widow/Senseless.

Its fun to try, but I agree. LauncherPro is true awesomeness!
Why do people want crap on their awesome phones? Sense is x100 better than touchwiz (any version) LOL
I had TouchWiz running on it, but the app drawer eats the last line of icons on every page and i don't know how to get the icons away from there. I might try to look into the apk, maybe there are settings to change.

Stock Android Home - Rogers 2.1

Is there a way to remove Sense and add stock Android Home to new 2.1 rom from Rogers? And if yes,how can i do that?
I know that i can remove Rosie from this rom,but there is no stock home in there.
Try ADW or Launcherpro, they are amazingly customizable. Bad thing though, is you cant use HTC widgets
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA App
Yea I know but i dont need home replacement,i want to remove all Sense apps.And use Android ones.
if you don't want the SenseUI, why don't you try any stable Froyo 2.2 ROMs,
try CM5.0.8, it is pretty cool
Well am not sure why but battery is a lot better on 6.35 radios,and i like how stable that Rogers rom is.So that is the reason,and please no more questions about that.
If someone know the answer to question i asked let me know.
i am actually working on a rom which is basically a 2.1 sense with out all the sense lol
Basically im taking out all the widgets and rosie, and then im going to put in ADW, launcher pro, and touchwiz launcher. Also will have apps2sd etc..
right now im still testing it out , but hopefully i will have it done soon
Thats not really answer to my question but good to know.

[Poll] Do you want HTC Sense's boot sound and ring tone in GingerDX?

Many of you may know that I'm in the progress of "Sensify" my GingerDX. So it raises a small question.
As the title says, do you want Sense's boot sound and ringtone instead of current one?
No, it's stupid. This is SE, who wants HTC is free to go buy one.
IT UP TO YOU DUDE IT IS YOUR ROM AFTER ALL
sure if people dont like it thay can edit it there self.
so if "YOU" like the htc boot sound and ringtone do it
as im very greatful that your putting your rom up
so it up to YOU dude

Ok guys, so the decision is made.
If you can, HTC Launcher please !!
Or it's widget (clock, messaging, friends stream,dll.)
Also a setting for Power Saver (it's there, at Salsa sense racht)
Many of us want HTC features at X8 !
(bootanimation too!)

Exactly! Please, DX don't make anything that the user cannot easily remove! I fully respect people who wants to make their SE looking like an HTC, but for me it's like putting a BMW logo on a FIAT. Would you drive such vehicle? Personally, i would NOT, it looks kinda ridiculous.

I think that having the same bootsound and the same ringtone of an HTC has nothing to do with the improving of the phone, it's just a personal taste. I was especially referring to those people claiming for the HTC logo during the boot: don't you think that is a kind of ridiculous "wannabe"?
On the other hand, I really appreciate the work Dx has done like the sense lockscreen but I really don't understand how can be nice to see an htc logo on a SE...

Why do you people like HTC Sense so much?!
It's ugly,boring,gray,crowded and confusing.The wallpaper is girly.The ringtones are all the same.I just can't see any reason to like it.
SE style is much,much better,airy,open and neat.
doixanh,I appreciate your work,your ROMs are great,but that's completely unnecessary.
in my opinion, it is up to the user.. if dx want to put it, and for the others who dont want it, they may ignore it.. just customize your phone with your style.. in fact, the HTC stuff can be remove.. if dx want to include it, so be it.. lol

See above. You like SE style, but I don't. You are free to apply any SE theme in Theme and App section. Just do what you want. And I do what I like.
Go ahead. It's your rom, and if people don't want it, it's their problem. You are free to do anything you want with your personal rom. Actually, I don't really think you need a poll at all. If they don't want HTC style roms, they can switch to MiniCM or GingerCruzt etc.
