Leanest ROM for Sprint Hero?

What's the leanest ROM out there for a Sprint Hero? By lean, I mean no Sense UI, no Sprint apps, but still full Android, all the hardware works, Market works, etc.
Is there one? If there is more than one, what seems to be people's faves?

That would be AOSP 1.6, and you need to flash the google bits as well.

The most current, leanest rom is Darchdroid, it's about as vanilla as you're gonna get.

But really, Regawmod is pretty good with the lack of things installed and being lean with still having sense...

Try Ic3Rom. It looks exactly like AOSP but has the speed of DamageControl and the stability of a HTC rom.

I just finished installing darthvanilla. it's pretty slick. thanks

So far it's pretty sweet. Been using it a day now. The only thing it seems to be missing that is of any consequence to me is the voicemail downloader app. There is no YouTube app either, but the .apk is linked in the thread for the ROM if you're into that. Myself not so much.

How to enable JIT?

Does anyone know how I can enable JIT on the Evil Eris Rom 2.0.1. I've used the senseless patch to remove all the Sense UI, except the lock screen.

Just a quick question... if you are on Evil Eris... and wanna make it vanilla why not switch to a vanilla rom?

Honestly, I don't know the difference between the two. I do like how the dialer look though in EE vs Tainted Vanilla.

I think there is a zip for JIT on GRDLOK's page. Where can I find the sensless patch?

Just to forewarn you Sense remover doesnt completely remove sense. All the roms here are still Sense Based Roms... until we get AOSP. So... JIT and Sense is very unstable. I suggest if you try it, always make a nand backup.

Don't know what lockscreen EE uses but the htc lockscreen has always locked up on me when using JIT so you might want to remove it too if it still has the htc lockscreen. There was a program I found here on xda a while ago that would remove sense and enable JIT for you all from your computer. I think it was in the hero section but I used it on my eris a while back to try and it did work. It was called Nosense I think if you want to look for it.

Framework is working on getting all the drivers for the eris working because he to mod some of the .config files. But i can smell it coming...

Thanks. I found the sense remover here and was able to enable JIT. I do also like the Helix Launcher!

It'll be a temp fix for now as I am hearing great things about AOSP, which I'll be switching over to when released.

I suggest if you want JIT... because it is snappier even if buggy... Get Tainted Vanilla and try it with JIT_UPDATE.zip... if you like the N1 launcher then run the OpenGL 3D patch (this will make Gallery not work)... Otherwise there is a custom Zeam this dude made and look a lot like N1...

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.

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.

senseable
evil eris
aloysius (very themeable)
kaoslegendary
ivans official
ZenExp (very nice build)

No sense widgets exactly, but you can grab Beautiful Widgets from the Market which are pretty as well.

I think Beautiful Widgets was actuall y the first thing I paid for on android

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.

For those that don't want Sense

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...

My FroyoStone is Non-Sense

im pretty sure people know that already, but they dont like the menus and stuff (like me) i like clean, stock android, i only fornicates with Sense on the Hero, Legend, or Desire.

Well I didn't know so thanks alot!

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?

[Q] Is there anyway to add HTC Sense to this phone?

Is it possible to add HTC Sense to the Samsung Epic? Is there a launcher that can do this or just complete different UI theme or even a complete ROM? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

LauncherPro is an alternative launcher that can be used with the epic -- However, although there is 'HTC Sense' themse for the launcher itself, I think they would have to be ported over for it to work.
TouchWiz is great, I had hero before epic. In my opinion TW definitely out performs Sense, and isn't as bulky. First question everyone will ask you is "Why not just bye the evo if you wanted Sense?"

I have the Epic Experience ROM currently flashed I think, and it has Launcher Pro (I also think, ha). What you're saying is that there are HTC Sense themes for Launcher Pro? Mind explaining how I would be able to change the theme of Launcher Pro to have HTC Sense? And there's a simple, easy answer for that question; The Epic has a nice keyboard that the EVO does not.

You will need to do some google work. First find a LauncherPro sense theme. Then research how to port it over to epic.

You can add Sense UI by buying an EVO

As far as actually adding HTC Sense to this phone: It won't happen mostly because Sense is all closed source.

I have a evo as well with sense custom rom and it a lot more functional as far as features go. I love sense, to bad its not availble on the epic. You can always get an evo however the evo doesn't compare to the epic in power. Movies, games and eveything looks better on the epic thanks to it gpu and super amoled.

I think ROM devs might be able to port it over, but we might have to wait for HTC to release a phone similar enough to ours first. That's what happened on my old G1, at least.

That doesn't make it an impossible task, there's always decompilers, computer science forensics, and educated guess-work that could probably accomplish the job. Whether or not anyone would be willing to take the time to do it is another question.
Of course someone who can code could just start from scratch to build something that gives the same front end results as sense whether or not the back end is actually sense probably wouldn't matter to the end user.
