Hi for all.
I searching for some senseless rom for my GSM-rig, but without sense-launcher.
BUT
I don't need all sense widgets, just part of them, like watch, calendar, people, SMS...you know, without any conection to the web.
If there will be stock dialer + stock phone-book - it will be the best rom for me
Thank you for answering.
You won´t find a ROM without rosie but with sense widgets!
If you are searching for a senseless ROM, you won´t have rosie and sense widgets.
Cheers
This is why you don't remove sense from devices specifically designed for it.

Hmm...thanks guys for the answers.
So, that what i am have to say:
It is many ROMs and many devices. All of them have something nice and something "not really nice".
Just a problem - it is nothing average and this is pathetic and some funny

Hi All
Been a regular reader but just joined now.
Anyway I've been trying a few custom ROMs out on my rooted HTC Hero (GSM)... many have some very good things, but many of the 2.2 ones don't have some of the features or apps I loved from 2.1, especially some of the HTC sense, or some of the apps.
So, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a custom ROM that can do/has the following:
- Based on Froyo 2.2 (want to try out the supposed performance improvements, new UI, later version of flash, etc)
- Needs the Apps2SD functionality (I believe all 2.2 based Roms have it)
- I really like the HTC flip clock/weather widget, with the animated weather as in 2.1..but haven't seen it in 2.2. Is it not available anymore? Anyway it could manually still be added?
- The 2.1 weather app.. where you can add multiple locations. 2.2 only seems to have weather/news which I dont like as much.... the option to see weather in different locations just by scrolling down was great. No other options in the market seem to do this as well, either
- In fact - most of the original HTC widgets available of on the Hero I would still like
- The 'Stocks' app found in earlier versions is missing in 2.2. I really like this app, as it's the only one I have ever found that you can add many quotes, and will work well with non-US countries (like Australia/NZ sharemarkets for example). But, it's not in found in the market and doesn't seem to be featured in 2.2?
- I also liked the way that when looking at 'people', it would summarise 'events' like birthdays and give me a taskbar notification. The 2.2 Roms I have tried so far, don't seem to have this same function anywhere..is it still available?
- I also liked the previous 'my contact card' where I could store my own details. I cant see this in 2.2 either is nit now gone? Would still love that.
Anyway, maybe I'm asking too much, but is there any custom ROM anyone can recommend, that is based on 2.2 but still has those 'good' bits from 2.1 or earlier?
Or, is there anyway I can add them myself??
I have checked out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
and others, but so far haven't found anything that quite has the above...
For the Flip Clock, you can search for Fancy Widget. In the current version, the autohor redesigned ist, but with you can find the older version here on the forum -and it looked exactly like the Sense flip clock! (what also explains, why that version was removed from the market by htc) As a bonus, I find it less laggy than the original one -therefore, it replaced HTC's flip clock on my homescreen
For the rest, I think, you need a ROM with Sense, as Sense Widget don't work on non-sense Roms...
I use fancy widget as well, glad I saved the .apk file
as for the sense like widgets you are better of doing a market search you might find some similiar to them.
or just go install the custom sense froyo roms although the camera or some hardware aint working on them
Thanks, I found the older fancy widget apk so I will give that a try.
I guess I'm asking too much for a custom ROM based on 2.2, with all the HTC Sense stuff still working... will have to comprise somewhere.
I really wanna give 2.2 a decent try but a lot of the stuff I liked from 2.1 isn't there anymore in the ROM's I've seen.
Anyway thanks for the replies!

the fact is mate you want HTC Sense on 2.2 (or sounds like that), which isn't a 100% stable port on the Hero (GSM) so you can have 2.2 working perfectly and use 3rd party apps like everyone else to get the same effect, or you can use a buggy 2.2 port of HTC sense, and live with it until someone makes a good port.
Yeah I wasn't too sure what ROM's were available and what they all could or could not do, hence asking for recommendations.
Anyway I'm trying out a number of differnet ones until I find the best one for me.
Think you're right though, 2.2 with Sense isn't really available/stable yet so I think a non-sense 2.2 with addons is the way to go at this stage.
Cheers
Hi,
I trye different ROM and i think a non-sense 2.2 whith an other launcher (like LauncherPro) is better than Sense...
The ROM TastyFroyo is the faster ROM but the screen resolution is not compatible with BeautifulWidget. (2.2 non-sense)
And the FroyedVillain is awesome too and full stable! (2.2 non-sense)
The ChocolateFroyo is a 2.2 with sense but i dut test it...
You have the rom in 2.3 too!!!
Elinux ROM and TastyGinger are great but still in beta...
Hi and Hello!
As the Topic states, I want to remove all Sense Stuff and use the Android 4.0 Standard.
Is this possible? How?
Is the standard Homescreen in the Rom or is only Sense in there?
Thanks in Advance
There are no fully functional AOSP ROMS out right now for this phone because of HTC not releasing source code for certain things, like 4G wimax.
There are a few sense roms that have most of the sense removed, but it's still not pure ICS.
There are some launchers that will look like AOSP, but again, that's just a sort of skin over the sense UI.
Hello
I'm a big fan of Samsungs Hardware but never liked touchwiz. The hings that annoy me most are the launcher and the Email(Exchange) App.
Is there a way to use the Vanilla ICS pendants without switching completely to cyanogen (when it once will be available)? I would like too keep the few nice add ons by Samsung.
Thx for hints
You could try an alternative ICS launcher such as Nova https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en. Hope that helps some.
An alternative launcher will definitely get you away from much of the touchwiz experience but you will still be stuck with Samsung's email, calendar, etc apps. Take a look in the SGS3 Themes and Apps section. I believe someone there has created a flashable zip to replace the Samsung stock apps with the ICS ones.
Thanks both of you. Nova does the trick for now.
I also flashed the ICS Email but it did not want to work. Guess I'll wait for CM then.
cheers
I had an Incredible for almost 3 years and I loved the setup I had on it. I switched back forth between "Sense-less" (or de-sensed for Rezound users) and AOSP depending on what mood I was in. I was rooted and S-OFF.
I have been browsing through the forums, flashing various ROM, and trying desperately to catch up on all the in's and out's of our beloved phone. I really had my heart set on running CM10 once I got my Rezound, but unfortunately, bluetooth doesn't work on AOSP ROMs and that's a deal breaker. So, I've been shopping de-sensed ROMs and I can't find one that I really like 100%.
Why do I want de-sensed? I use third-party launchers because of the customization and ability to have multiple docks. Therefore, most of the Sense widgets are not needed on my phone.
The features that I am looking for:
- Based of the latest Global RUU, all VZW crap removed
- De-sensed to a degree where nothing becomes "broken" (I want everything to work. Sense camera is a must! Friendstream would be nice for Facebook contact pics.)
- AOSP lockscreen with Caller ID and Music Controls.
- No Volume screen wake.
- Long-press volume to skip songs would be nice.
I think that's it. I'll add some later if I can think of some, but these are the most important to me really. I have tried several ROMs and read the threads on most of the other candidates and I can't find one that really suits me.
If no one can point me in the direction of such a ROM, I have decided to develop my own. I have little Linux/Android experience. I am still S-ON so I have become comfortable with adb. I have a very basic understanding of how ROMs and kernel interact to make our phone work. I have some experience with C++ and VB. All I really need is some guidance.
Can I just re-flash the Global RUU and then de-Sense and de-bloat my phone by removing apks through adb? Then, if I can find Sense-compatible .zips that give me the volume controls I need, they should work right? Is that the same for compatible themes?
What gets broken when you remove Rosie? I can leave Rosie alone if it breaks the camera and such. I can just remove the unnecessary Sense widgets instead.
Is it possible to have the same lockscreen from CM10 on a de-Sensed ROM and have it fully-functional?
I have been thinking about this for a while and I have a ton of questions. If anyone is willing to help in anyway, please let me know. I love the phone, but I am dying for a ROM that really suits my needs.
Look up Adrenaline by Neo. There is a link near the end of the comments

I don't think Adrenaline is based off of the newest RUU yet. I also don't want the 5-pt lockscreen if I can't customize it easily. Is there a way to put the regular lockscreen back?
Neo has some pretty sick ROMs. I was running his CM9 until i found out that bluetooth calls don't work.

Ahh, sorry. I didn't notice the note about global. Ineffabilis is based off of global, has a desense option while flashing, and has an option for AOSP lock screen. I've heard good things about it, but haven't run it myself.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I run Ineff Deus v1.2 (global) de-sensed as my daily driver. I use a combination of Nova Prime and WidgetLocker. I believe the AOSP lockscreen is set up the way you're looking for. I know there's an option to bypass the lockscreen for incoming calls. There are a ton of options thru the Aroma installer and more in the MikTweaks menu to customize your setup.

Neomax by Neo is pretty close to what you described, themed to look like AOSP, has Sense camera but rest stripped.
It hasn't been updated to be based on global, but you can still run neomax on top of global firmware and benefit from radio improvements. I ran Neomax for two months before switching to CM9 RAGE... CM 10 is still in alpha mode and may be a while in getting to usable state on Rezound.
The good news is that apps like Nova Launcher, SwiftKey and the XDA Google Now for ICS port give you early access to Jellybean features.

Hi Guys,
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but, there is no way to truly have the CM10/Stock Dialer and Contacts be replaced in a Sense ROM like Viper, is there?
I don't usually have an issue with Sense stuff, but the tiny, pixelated Contact photos in the dialer, both when receiving and making calls, is ridiculous!
I tried using CM10 as a DD, but I don't think that ROM is quite there yet for the LTE, yet...
Appreciate any help, thanks!
Check themes and apps for ics/jb dialer and instructions on how to install. It's not exactly ideal, sense framework has a lot of changes that hurt compatibility
