Yep. Just remove Rose.apk and Rose.odex from /system/app. I made my own custom gutted Hero rom with a lot of things removed including the boot animations. Im thinking about uploading it. I can upload a Sense-less (pun intended) Hero if you would like. Note, I did not test it much. Just played with it for a few minutes. Make sure you Nandroid backup

could you please?

Sure. I'll get it together and uploaded as soon as possible.

Is it truly "Sense"-less? That is, with the standard white menu bar, default icons, etc.?

ok thanks im looking forward to it

holy hell, removing htc sense speeds up boot time tenfold. i had it diabled but after removing it completly boot time is awesome. thanks for the tip! cant wait to try ur rom

I just removed rosie my phone is rebooting now

Im going to upload it soon. And now it is not going to be truly senseless yet. I dont have enough time to do that right now but I hope to soon. At the very least it will have all HTC Widgets deleted as well as Rosie.

when do you think you will have it uploaded?

Well, I am just going through some basic testing right now to make sure it works. I made two roms. They are both basically MoDaCo's roms so he should get all the credit. I just took some leg work out of it for you guys
Like I said, when I have them all tested and working I will upload. Hopefully that means soon. And remember I am not new to the whole rooting/hacking scene but to rom development I am new so please forgive me for saying these are pretty darn beta

My phone is way faster with sense gone

if you want ill help you test it and ill give you feed back?

yea im taking advantage of the possibilies

Just to be clear, this is for mssmisons eclair with no rootfs (which ill need to flash first because ive fallen a little behind the times..) with the whole sense home, like having facebook integrated into the contacts and such?

I didn't notice a difference after the update... maybe I am missing something? Is it compatible with 240x320 because I did that update prior, wiped the card and put yours on after?

if you did the 240 x 320 androidinstall.tar then you need to flash the 240 x 320 nbh to match it
my update doesnt effect the look other that the theme itself

I guess I was expecting the weather flip clock and the HTC keyboard.

oooooooooookkkkkkkkkkk. thank you. lol. Think ill just stick with your sensetattoo then for the time being. And i thank you much for that one. Its working very nicely for me.
p.s. with my next paycheck, you and a few others (dzo..) can be expecting a modest (im pretty broke) donation from me. I love all the hard work you guys have been putting into the vogue. Ive been wanting a hero for a while now, but im almost beginning to wonder why.. Its almost more fun to be like "yea, its supposed to run windows, but it dont!"

[CLOSED/G2] HTC Vision (G2) Testing ROM Leak

http://www.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-g2-testing-rom-leaked
My unyaffs isn't cooperating with me. Other people seem to be having issues extracting this as well. Would really appreciate it if someone uploaded a system dump.

In case anyone missed it: http://twitter.com/Zapote21/status/22119077911

Lets see what apk we can pull from this. Pulled HTC apps should work decently on Evo

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765121
Apparently Adreno 200 in here, prefer 205.

FYI here is another link

I thought the G2 was going to be a vanilla android device..
And if it does have HTC stuff there might be problems related to framework.

What I can tell you is that this build does not include Rosie.apk which is the core of SenseUI, so this is definitely more vanilla than other recent HTC Android phones.

Drizzy corrected himself later. he apparently had the Ace and G2 dumps confused.
The one I posted on twitter (link a few posts above) is the unpackaged and rezipped system.img from the leaked G2 ROM
Vanilla Android

Apologies for the noob question here, but is there anyway to extract bootanimation.zip from the ROM?

There doesn't seem to be a bootanimation.zip file included in the system dump.

There is a bootanimation file in the dump under bin folder havent tried to do anything with it yet jus got the dump jus starting to sift thru it dont seem to be much usefull to me so far pertty standard **** dont look like any apps are anything id wanna put effort into porting as of now

That's not a bootanimation. That's an executable you're looking at.
Android stores the actual boot animation under /system/media/.

Has anyone played with the launcher yet? Apparently the dock is customizable but I can't figure out how.

in order to change the buttons on the launcher you need to get the settings.apk as well, i tried pushing both on my slide and launcher looks good, but settings crashes when i open the quick keys option. i will post back if i get it working(may even give a screenshot

i got as far as the tutorial looking wizard for quick keys but when trying to use the widget or going through settings it crashes(this might be due to the lack of keys mapped to those positions which can be looked into later) if you want pics check my twitter and i can upload more upon request

Gingerbread screen off animation

Has anyone been able to get the screen of animation from gingerbread yet?

I maintain that this was a hoax from somone pretending to have Gingerbread... Of course everybody shoots me down because they want that silly animation for some reason... Good luck finding it.

What was a hoax?

Dude in the vid strikes me as slightly odd.

yeah plus the android central hands on today shows it several times too, so no it's no hoax. not sure how someone could have thought it was after all this time, and many videos of it

Hrm, well I stand corrected... What a stupid garish 'feature.'

For those wanting the screen off animation:
Get the system dump from the Nexus S section.
Open it in WinRAR.
Go to system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/anim
Copy the 74 xmls somewhere on your Desktop.
Go to the same location on whatever ROM/Theme you're using and replace the files.
Flash it in recovery.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. But that didnt make any difference for me...

Pretty sure there on the boot.img and after flashed they are in /sys/power lol

I'm only able to see framework-res.apk in the system dump. Going to try and replace it and install on recovery. Made a backup of the other file, so we will see...
Couldn't find any XMLs because I can't open the APK as a folder in "view" on work laptop

just search for "xml transitions" the screen off is animation is in there just like gingerbread use metamorph, i have been using this on miui for weeks now..

Fixed HTCCamera (graphic issue on preview)

So hey, i got tired of that graphic glitch, extracted the apk and decompiled it and looked thru the xml's and found errors in 2 of them (icon_camera_selector.xml & icon_play_selector.xml) and fixed what png's they called for.. camera selector was referencing pngs in com.htc.resources.apk that were the wrong ones obviously, and the play_selector.xml was referencing 2 play png icons in it too, i copied those from the htc apk and put them in the camera apk and fixed the xml..
original fixed apk:View attachment HTCCamera.apk
my question is, how could something like this happen? from what i can see its almost like someone used some app or script that constructed this apk from scratch and it "guessed" what the files where supposed to be..? i dont know...
FIX UPDATE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11900569&postcount=41

Don't using apk tool to decompile it. There are a lot of bugs to decompile the system APK.
You have using HEX Editor software like UltraEditor to modify the APK to fix the resource issue.

Can you explain what are the "graphic glitches" you are talking of?
Thanks!

you know, the thundercloud, wish list or globe (it seems to vary)..
its supposed to be a 54x54 png, but it was set to access a 200x200 png...

Im curious, does anyone know of a version of the camera apk or a build that its in that doesnt crash when you hit the send button in review?
i want to compare some code and see if maybe i can spot where the issue might be..

Because of the htccamera is using the HTC customize resource, it will fail on decompile and recompile.
You mush modify from hex code, there is no easy way to use some tools to fix it.

htc camera force close

You can fix by yourself, it is very easy to do, just waste a lot of times

Well On the 1.84 Builds - The Review Doesn't work ..
You Get graphic error DURING Review ..
Your ONLY Option was/is To Turn Off Review ..
CMY Made a Ver That Disabled The Review Totally.
Most Important to me anyway Is The Review! I Use My Phone For Work.
And Its Nice To See The Pictures So I Know They Are Good ..
The send button in review - is a Different Issue ..
And I Never Use It Much Anyway .. Would Be Nice If It Got Fixed

well, i dont know what to say, i decompiled it with no issues, i identified 2 xml's that were using resources in the htc resource apk, fixed those xmls to point to the right ones in the camera apk, recompiled and installed, and its working just fine.. as far as i can tell it had no built in dependence towards the htc resource apk..
