Hi all - I've flashed the Super Clean ROM v0.4 by jt1134, but I'm finding that I much preferred the stock music player, and noticed a lack of "ThinkFree Office" in this release, which got me to thinking;
Is there a place to download optimized, deodexed, zipaligned, [insert optimization buzzword here] apks for every one of the stock apps that were included with the Fascinate? Something we can just adb push onto our customized ROMs after the fact?
Again, I'm thinking mostly of the music app and ThinkFree office (I know I can download a free version... was the stock app the for-pay version, or was it the free "lite" version?), but I know that some people also like the stock mms app, etc.
Thanks!

I was just going to start looking for the deodexed system dump. I, too, miss the stock music player. Anyone got a link, and will it work with JT's rom? And how should we install it? Using a file manager, pushing it with adb, or putting it somewhere with root explorer?
I need this ro try and push the stock market app. The froyo update won't download apps.

Stock music player, messaging app and alarm clock is what is keeping me from using this Rom

Or you can DeOdex your system manually I have used this method and it works, Only exception is at step "5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "vzwlbs.odex" (instead of this file that does not exist on a Fascinate - "guava.odex".) It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process."
I was actually going to request the stock calender apk. The samsung one looks better but takes away too much functionality. I guess they really do like apple haha. I need to know what's next on my schedule without remembering to look for it.
Jt has been slowly adding some of the stock apps as well as some of the AOSP apps to the "extra" folder in ROM manager. I'm guessing if there is enough interest in adding an app he would be willing to provide it. I'm fairly certain that donations to his "beer fund" would help prompt interest.
Jt hangs out in #Samsung-fascinate on freenode a lot, you could *politely* request that he add an app there.
i copied ClockPackage.apk and Mms.apk from frost's rom to /system/app and it all worked. I got back stock versions of both, I believe if you rename DeskClock.apk to DeskClock.apk.bck or delete it you can remove altogether JT's clock.
I wonder where the Verizon stuff is, like the info app that shows you minutes/texts/data used.

I'd like this app as well, if you're able to get it working. I'd try it myself, but I'm at work ATM.
I think its this "I500_MyVerizon_05202010.apk" I saw it in the full system dump. However that dump is not deodexed and from original release. don't know if it would work and don't wanna screw up my system.
You should be able to grab them from a system dump.
The fascinate stock apps that are not included in frosty's zip were never odexed in the first place.
The way frosty's zip to deodex works is by removing the odex files, and replacing the corresponding apk with the deodexed versions.
Can you just take the apk from the dump and install it? I need thinkfree back as well. Does this work or do you have to get the apk and odex file from the dump and paste into the system/app folder?
I remember having a deodexed rom on my D1 and installing apps from the market with no problems. Can I just add the apk to my sdcard and install?
Thanks
I would just copy them to system/app
I do not know if any of them are actually installable if you just run, them on your phone.
If it doesn't have an odex in the system dump, it probably doesn't need one.
I like the file manager "my files" that comes with the stock rom. I might get heat for this, but its nice to have that already installed and or a zip to install via clockwork for other roms.

Thanks. I did not notice an odex so I moved it to system/app and rebooted. Works great. Thanks!
I patched the classes.dex and no more passcode after the lockscreen.
Since Mail.apk is a system app you can't just replace the apk... so you'll need to do it in recovery.
Instructions:
1. First you need to remove all exchange accounts (in SETTINGS -> ACCOUNTS & SYNC) and then remove the PIN in SETTINGS - SECURITY.
2. Then boot into recovery and install the Mail.apk - patched.zip file (attached).
3. Reboot and add your exchange account normally... it will still ask you to activate the security settings but no password will be required.
Enjoy not having to type a password to unlock your EVO 3D!!!

Still requires the password.

Really sorry guys, I had the old classes.dex file for some reason. This is fixed now! I reuploaded the file in the OP.
You'll still need to remove the exchange account and remove the lock before you install the zip from recovery.

Confirmed working now, 100% Thank you so very much, I can't tell how much the password thing pissed me off!
I just followed the instructions, downloaded the file to my phone, moved it to my root of my sd card, renamed it from -1.zip to exchange.zip flashed it, rebooted and tried to add it, and no go still have to add a pin. I looked in the zip file and I don't see a classes.dex file at all. Not sure what is up, but I am on stock ROM, have S-OFF, and Recovery, no issues flashing it through recovery but still required to put in a PIN. I'd LOVE to have this working. I will be going to a new ROM soon, I just haven't decided which one I want.
All I can say is keep trying, I have it working for.me right now, but I flash alot of roms, so I feel sometimes it works and other times it doesnt....try not clearing cache or dalvik, installing then rebooting. It will still tell you it needs a pass but when you press activate it will bring you right back to finish your email set up....
SHOTS FIRED!!! From 3 Dimensions!
I suspect it is because I am still on stock ROM, and it is Odexed. Don't know a lot about it, but that is my suspicion. I'll probably flash a ROM this weekend and then try it again.
do you know if this will help to fix the stock mail.apk if it is having issues?
i have tried flashing different roms and still get a exchange activesync mail application which doesn't want to sync correctly.

"So easy, a caveman can do it"
AS ALWAYS use at your own risk. Not responsible for anything that might happen to your phone.
Updated DeSense for both, ICS and GB, roms. Changes are NO LONGER permanent.
What can I use this for?:
- set your mainver to accept any of the rezound PH*.zip files while using bootloader
- change look and feel of your rom from sense to something else
- remove extra apps not needed to use your phone
- install apps you need before logging into market
- easily reboot into recovery/bootloader w/o pulling the battery
- block ads
- fix bluetooth on ICS roms
Instructions:
** Must ALREADY be rooted before running (htc Dev Unlock)**
- HTC Drivers must be installed on PC
- USB Debugging turned on for phone
- Connect via usb and charge only
- extract zip somewhere and double click DeSense_v#.bat
- Choose option in menu
Extra steps (recommended)
- Prior to de-sense, log in to all your accounts and setup the intial syncing because you may not be able to once you have de-sensed. Syncing should work after you de-sense if you do this...
Optional:
- Nandroid backup your phone in case you run into issues.
Available options:
**1** DeSense for both ICS and GB
Removes Sense UI. Must have a launcher already installed!!!
**2** Fix Bluetooth on ICS roms
Thx to JoelZ. Click here and thank/donate!
**3** Restore
Restores all of the original apk's you have removed using this util
**4** Install apps (choice menu)
Included apps are:
- wifi tether
- es file explorer
- titanium backup
- Swype
- Nova Launcher (ICS Only)
**5** Remove more HTC, Verizon & google extras
Now removes even more apps!!! If you need something back that this removed, you can use any root exploring program to move the apk from /system/bkup/ to /system/
**6** Change Mainver to universal
Will set your MainVer to "1.00.000.0". This should allow you to install any rom's boot image without getting a mainver error.
Big thanks to drellisdee. Click here to thank/donate!
**7** Remove HTC Lockscreen
Removes HTC circle lockscreen and reverts to default android (NOTE: See Troubleshooting/Issues below, before performing this option*.)
**8** Install ICS notification bar and settings (!!!do not use!!!)
do not use this option as most of (if not all) the newer roms will not be based off the 3.0.11
**9** Install ad-block hosts file
This will block ads in your browser(s) and apps. Must reboot to take effect.
**0** Reboot (choice menu)
Reboot options
- into bootloader
- into recovery
- or normal
Change Log:
v7 -Changed ICS launcher to nova launcher
-Changed settings.apk to a stable one tweaked by romanbb
-Added "flash boot.img" option (use caution)
v7_1 - No longer deleting files, making a backup instead.
- No longer removing htc video (apk)
- Made flashing a boot.img even easier and fail proof
- No longer installing swype/wifi on system (applications were not opening on some roms also gives u ability to uninstall them)
v8 - Updated with new options
- No longer removing htc video (for real this time )
v8_1 - Made instructions clearer for new 4.0.3 builds
- correctly mounting system for option 8
v9 - Removing more extra apps that might be on your phone
- Added TiBu, ES File Explorer
- Updated wifi tether, nova launcher
- removed go launcher, mms, and contacts apks because of confusion (use v8.1) if you want those apks
Troubleshooting/Known Issues:
Wifi tether isn't working
- Open the app go to
settings > change device profile > "Samsung Galaxy Nesus (CDMA/LTE)"
settings > change setup method > "Netd (master)"
settings > check "Routing Fix"
I get error messages after removing HTC extras, Verizon/Google exras, etc
- Reboot your phone!!!
HTC Lockscreen no longer has shortcuts
- No fix available
*Need to unlock phone to answer calls
- No fix available, if this is a problem DO NOT uninstall HTC lockscreen
**Cannot click "About" & "ROM Control" in ICS settings
- No fix available, if this is a problem DO NOT install ICS notification and settings
**System UI crashes after boot
- No fix available, if this is a problem DO NOT install ICS notification and settings
- It only crashes once after boot, other than that I have not seen it crash again.

Does the wifi tether charge against normal data or will carrier detect and add?
Also, is there a list of all items frozen? I've been slowly freezing htc stuff with zerg/titanium bu and I know I missed some stuff out of caution/uncertainty/fear.
Thanks!
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
if you open the batch file with any text editor you can see what gets disabled. If you disable an apk twice, it will not affect your phone. So no worries about re-freezing frozen stuff.
wifi tether uses root to provide the service, i cannot make any guarantees to what Verizon will or will not do. I have been using this apk for a while without issues, but I am not making any claims. This stuff is always "use at your own risk"!
The program uses your phone data connection (which is part of your data plan) to provide wifi to other devices i.e. other phones, laptops, desktops, ps3's, etc. If you have limited data plan you can go over the limit using this app.
So i posted this in the Supertool thread - removing sense stops the gallery/album app from working properly. Does anyone know what dependencies the gallery app needs to work?

What this does
Removes bloat, especially from HTC and Verizon. The full list is at https://github.com/muness/Rezound-DeSense/blob/master/apks_to_remove.txt . That includes all the APKs Scott Crosler removed in CleanROM Developer Edition 1.0 and everything listed in Quantumrabbit's safe to delete and safe to delete so long as other apps/services that use it also are lists and also all the APKs I identified as Sense 4.0 or bloat in Team PkmN - Venasaur Rom v3.2.0. The full list of APKs it removes is at https://github.com/muness/Rezound-DeSense/blob/master/apks_to_remove.txt
Install AOSP APKs for Browser, Calendar, Calculator, Email (see stock_apks directory)
Reboots the phone before FCs kick in
Has no options whatsover. Just run it. If you want to customize it, after download/extract, edit apks_to_remove.txt and desense.sh on Mac and Linux or desense.bat on Windows.
Before running this script
Make a Nandroid backup
Install the Sense ROM of your choice (I jump around between BAMF, CleanROM and RezROM)
Install a launcher and keyboard of your choice (I like Nova and SwiftKey X)
Connect the device to USB
If you have not done any of these steps do not use this script!
Using this script
Windows
Do the steps listed above (Before running this script)
Download the .zip file https://github.com/muness/Rezound-DeSense/zipball/v4
Expand it
Run desense.bat
Mac/Linux
Do the steps listed above (Before running this script)
Get adb working on your machine. If you need help, see http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK.

Known issues
You don’t get AOSP status bar
You don’t get AOSP dialogs
You don’t get AOSP dialer or Phone or People app
You need to wipe data from the Google Play Store app
There’s still some HTC Sense stuff here. e.g. Phone, People, Camera, Gallery, Personalize setting.
You get whatever bugs the ROM you start with has.
Requires that the ROM you're using has a boot.img which specifies ro.secure=0 in default.prop file. This gives adb connection root privileges.

For CleanROM, I suggest using CleanROM Developer Edition. It's pretty much this, but you get Scott's support!
I too would love to have the ICS dialer. I have no idea how to get that to work though. I tried the naive approach, replacing HtcDialer, HtcContacts, ContactsProvider and Phone APKs and I get FCs on boot up that make the phone unusable. If any one can point me in the right direction, I'd be happy to delve deeper.
Ok so I ran this on RezROM and phone won't boot.
Comes up to boot screen, does that and automatically shuts off.

Make sure that USB debugging is on, and that the HTC sync isn't active on your computer. HTC sync had messed up other desensing tools for me before.
I don't take any credit for finding this fix, but I wanted to make it more accessible for E4GLTE owners.
Want to be able to access your Exchange email account without the security permissions required by your work/school? I know I do - so here's how:
First, backup your ROM (this is a fairly safe modification, but better safe than sorry).
Next, remove your Exchange ActiveSync account if you already have it on the phone (I've had good luck skipping this step). Then follow these steps (or just use one of the recovery flashable zips):
Download the attached Mail.apk to your phone.
Using a root access file explorer (Root Explorer is my favorite) go to \system\app
Mount as R/W, and delete or rename Mail.apk and mail.odex (I renamed them to Mail.apk.bak and mail.odex.bak).
Copy the downloaded Mail.apk into \system\app
Set permissions to match the original Mail.apk
Reboot (Recommended: reboot to recovery and clear Cache/Dalvik cache)
Now re-add your Exchange account, and you should be set!
Note that this makes your sensitive email more vulnerable to bad people if your phone is stolen (and your security admin will not be happy with you if they find out) - this is on your head, not mine!
Huge thanks to rathore4u for making the original modified app available for a large number of phones (ICS both Sense and AOSP). Original thread is here - be sure to thank him for his wisdom!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Edit 2/15/2013* - Rebuilt from the newest OTA build (3.16) (works now - thanks mikeyxda!)
*Edit 2/13/2013* - Added revert-to-stock zip for 3.16.
*Edit 12/27/2012* - Rebuilt the modded apk from stock Evo LTE JB (no longer using shnizlon's)... hopefully this will fix any problems people were having? Also added a revert-to-stock JB zip.
*Edit 12/18/2012* - Added a flashable zip for Jelly Bean/Sense 4+. Credit goes to tbonnano231 and shnizlon - go send them some Thanks!
*Edit 9/4/2012* - Fixed my flashable zips to work better (correct permissions and automagically clears cache/dalvik cache).
*Edit 8/31/2012* - Used Rathore4u's guide to modify the Sense 4.1 Mail.apk (from the 2.13.651.1 base).
*Edit 6/29/2012* - Using rathore4u's how-to guide and the Mail.apk from mikeyxda's MeanROM, I created a Mail.apk with Sync While Roaming and HTML message format available. I've attached this as an apk and a flashable zip (make sure to rename the apk to Mail.apk if you go the manual method). Be sure to thank both rathore4u and mikeyxda for their contributions!
*Edit 6/14/2012* - Rathore4u stepped up and helped us out - we now have our very own modified mail app for the E4GLTE! This version has none of the bugs the previous one had (text prediction/deletion works just fine [tested using SwiftKey] and notification sound works as well). I've replaced the attached file with the fixed version, and included a flashable zip I made for those who are lazy like me
Attached Files (newest files are blue):
Mail-41.apk - Stock Evo 4G LTE mail with security disabled (2.13.651.1 base - NEWEST)
Mail-sans-security_E4GLTE-41.zip - Stock Evo 4G LTE mail with security disabled, recovery flashable zip (2.13.651.1 base - NEWEST)
Mail.apk - Stock Evo 4G LTE mail with security disabled (from older base)
Mail-sans-security_E4GLTE.zip - Stock Evo 4G LTE mail with security disabled, recovery flashable zip
Mail-MeanFeatures-NoSecurity.apk - MeanROM mail (Sync while roaming and HTML enabled) with security disabled [rename to Mail.apk when you install]
Mail-MeanFeatures-NoSecurity-E4GLTE.zip - MeanROM mail with security disabled, recovery flashable zip [this zip backs up your previous Mail.apk as Mail.apk.bak, in case you want to go back to stock]
Mail-No-Security_EvoLTE-JB.zip - Jelly Bean/Sense 4+ mail with security disabled, recovery flashable zip
Stock-Mail_EvoLTE-JB.zip - STOCK Jelly Bean/Sense 4+ mail, recovery flashable zip (revert to stock!)
[*]Stock-Mail_3.16.zip - Stock Jelly Bean/Sense 4+ mail 3.16 OTA, recovery flashable zip
[*]Mail-No-Security_3.16.zip - Jelly Bean/Sense 4+ mail with security disabled for 3.16 OTA, recovery flashable zip
Thanks so much for this! I'll give it a try, have had modded mail.apk files for all of the other sense versions.

Thanks! Trying now!
Works well
Thanks, works great!!
I've used this, and it has worked to disable exchange policies. I get a very strange response now though when I try to delete or correct a misspelled word. The word will duplicate itself, and it makes it almost impossible to delete. I have tried three different keyboards, and it does it with all of them.
Any thoughts?

Hmm... That definitely did not happen to me haha. Did you maybe try redownloading and reinstalling?

I also have had the same issue with it. And it will keep doing it, making the sentence worse.
Wow I never noticed that bug before until I tried it out.
It's annoying as hell.
Was this bug present on the stock app?

It only does it in the email app, but it looks like the HTC keyboard works fine. Does it do it with that keyboard for you guys?

I used the automated method and I'm not getting the spell check bug. Works.fine for me. Stock keyboard.
Weird. I didn't make the file just grabbed it from the thread I listed - maybe ask them there? I don't know how to edit smalis...

For those of you having the problem, what keyboard are you using?
Edit: I tested this using Swype, SwiftKey, and the HTC keyboard. The delete bug occurs using any keyboard except HTC's, for some reason. I've posted in rathore4u's original thread to see if he can help, I'll let you all know if he can figure it out.

Yeah, the bug occurs in the preloaded version of Swype, as well as Swiftkey X, and Swiftkey 3 beta.
For folks using Swype, just go to Swype preferences and disable word suggestion (all 3 checkboxes) and this problem goes away. However the problem with the notification sound not working still remains, atleast I can't find a workaround for it.
Rathore4u helped us out and made a modified Mail.apk based on the E4GLTE's apk. I've tested it and it doesn't have the text prediction/deletion bug (tested using SwiftKey) and it does play notification sounds!
I've updated the OP with the new Mail.apk, and also created a flashable zip if that's what you'd prefer.

Just a note, the new version is deodexed. Which in my experience, if you are on an odexed ROM (stock) will cause you to see an "Android is upgrading" window everytime you reboot and it slows down reboots.
I'm looking to see if we can odex that apk so we will have both versions.
Here is the odexed version I just made, works great!
This is NOT a flashable zip. Extract out mail.apk and mail.odex and copy them to /system/app

I believe it does the "updating apps" thing only once, doesn't it? I made my zip erase mail.odex so it would work with the odexed ROM (at least, I think it should).

Thanks for getting this for us.
I'm going to try the .zip version now.

The text prediction/deletion bug also went away with Swype, however the notification sound still isn't working for me. I have replaced the app, cleared cache and dalvik cache. Also tried re-setting up the exchange account again and that didn't help either. Anyone else facing this issue?
