I have an old Evo 3D that i will be just using for a 3D picture/video viewer and want to get rid of/freeze all of the junk and bloatware. No buddies, friendstream, Spiderman etc.
What I need working: WiFi, Google play, gallery, HDMI out, camera. I don't need the phone part to work even.
What is the best smallest ROM that I can use where the above works but the crapware is gone and battery life is better than stock?
Also is there a way to stop all of the remaining stuff from always autoloading and taking up RAM/CPU like maps, mail etc?
Assuming your phone is CDMA, if you are looking for something cleaned up, but still very stock looking, I recommend MeanROM 4.5 for Gingerbread, or Mean ICS for Ice Cream Sandwich. You could also try SOS ICS which is an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM based on Mean ICS but that allows you to pick and choose some options to install.

Since what is crapware is defined by each person individually, what ROM do you suggest? The amount of extraneous software is minimal in Mean compared to most other ROMs, especially compared to stock. Since you are rooted, you can freeze or uninstall apps you do not want using something like ROM Toolbox.

The beauty of having root is being able to remove "crapware". Just remove it yourself. Problem solved.
Viper ROM is a good start, it comes with most bloatware already deleted and Titanium backup already installed so you can pick and choose whatever else you want to delete. I would recommend using the gingerbread ROM to maximize on your battery since you are using it for a multimedia device.
aosp. they dont come with any bloatware. Agrabren (i think thats how its spelled) has a CM9 rom with a working camera.
Sos m ics ROM .

Does this ROM have everything that I asked about working such as camera and HDMI?
I know some of these ROMs break certain features, a common one that goes by-by with these is HDMI out.
Also how do I know what can be frozen without bad consequences? I froze apps on an Infuse once, ones that were even specifically stated as not being needed, and the whole interface dissappeared rendering the phone unuseable. I had to go into download mode and re-flash the whole thing and set up from scratch. That was a hassle and time waster.
I would just install a stable ass rom like MeanRom and then use Titanium backup to uninstall or freeze all the crap you don't want.
Mikvirgin all day. Sooo smoothh

It does this often when i exit maps, exit browser, exit tapatalk. usually when I'm running an app for a while it does that too. Sense would do that on my incredible as well. I don't think It's a ROM thing, maybe just an HTCsense thing coupled with usage. It gets annoying. I've ran the 2 ROMs on my phone so far. Uberbamf, and latest synergy nightly. Both behave the same and both have system tweak tools. I flash, i wipe. Is there anything I can do to keep sense in memory with those tools? Or do I limit the way I use my phone? I'm guessing there could be a solution besides flashing an aosp ROM (which I know some would suggest) Or using home replacement app? I don't care for any of those options. I just wanna enjoy my sense more.

This is a totaly naked 2.3.4 ROM to be used as a base for making more ROMS
What do you get? Not a hell of allot
Accounts
Contacts
Dialer
Market
Settings
SU
System Recovery
You also get a few mods
SD storage flip/flop
Pulldown Toggles
1% Battery
Massively de-bloated (Sure you may be able to remove some more things but you wont have a stable functioning device you can make calls from) Dialer and Contacts can be removed as well but i didnt want to release something you couldnt @ least make a call with.
Everything has been de-odexed, optimized, zip-aligned and re-signed. Just enough to add your account and use the phone. Everything else is up to you. Are you really picky about each and every app? Well this may be the ROM for you.
Google Backup/Restore is functioning so it will re-populate market apps.
Aspiring ROM makers are welcome to take this and theme it and add whatever apps they desire.
MUST be on 2.3.4
MUST clear data/cache
Download
Wow. Haven't tried yet but if this is truly working I see great things coming from this base soon.
AOSP or Blur? Any Launcher?
The apps that are there are stock.
The launcher was patched for roatation.
So, does stock mean they're aosp? Or blur?

I've been looking for a really stable "naked" ROM like this where I get to choose everything that my phone has on it. So I'm definitely trying this out tonight.

Can i get the stock blur text messaging back on this? Just push it to system apps and adjust permissions?

Thanks, it populates lists really fast, espicially in manage apps and whatnot
That is awesome! I will kill the blur launcher and throw ADW EX back in! I really wish these phones were capable of running multiple roms like a PC when you boot through bios. I have Windows 8 Dev Preview and Windows 7 Ultimate. Be cool when you hit power if it asked "Stock Blur, Eclipse, Naked...." You get the point
Great ROM! Only problem is, no camera or gallery. Does anyone have the miui camera and 3D AOSP gallery handy? 'Twould be most appreciated.

If we could do custom bootloaders that would be possible
Thanks for the quick response. Ill be flashing here in a minute.

Got caught naked lol
I wasnt lying about whats included.
I have the 3d gallery and stock camera handy here
Thanks so much! The gallery won't install though.. like, I tried putting it my system/app folder and setting permissions, but it still doesn't want to work. You probably know what I did wrong, don't you?
Edit: my bad. I had another gallery that I tried to install earlier stopping it from installing. Its all good now.

Ohh, no good! I use google search for damn near everything! Including store hours of places, lol.
I've had the LTEvo pretty much since it became available, and one of the first things I did was switch from Sense to another Launcher. I eventually settled on Apex, and it's been running like a top since then.
Since last night, however, any time I hit the home button, exit an app, open my phone, etc., it defaults to Sense. Apex still shows itself to be the default launcher, both in the system settings and in Home Switcher, and I can manually switch to it, but that's obviously not an ideal solution. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Apex, and that didn't work. Anyone have any wisdom here?
TIA

well i was going to say use titanium to freeze sense. but your not rooted. but thats what i do.
Try going into apps and clearing defaults for the sense launcher.
It has a home screen icon for it. Might work.

+1 for this solution. Root and then install Titanium Backup, then freeze sense. You should be good to go at that point.

Hi mates!
I'm looking for some help, I've an Evo 3d and I had been in 2.3.4 official rom and yesterday I decided to upgrade to 4.0.3 Official rom so I did it, the process was done successfuly... but now I've a trouble with Sense Launcher when I use an app (whatever app) and then I come back to my desk my Sense shows "loading", the screen freeze until 5.6 second after, It's painful!! .
I upgraded my device via Official OTA from 2.3.4 to 4.0.3, could you help me or advice me what should I do in order to fix this trouble? What's wrong? My device isn't rooted and it has always worked fine!
Thank you mates for your help!

Nobody can help me?
I believe the OTA changed the OOM settings, and thus Sense is getting killed while you are running other apps. When you return home, Sense has to reload itself. If you are rooted, you can change the OOM settings. Without root, the only thing I can think of is to install a 3rd party launcher such as Nova and check the option in settings to always keep the launcher in memory.

umm If I'll install a 3er party app I'd be able keep sense animations, widgets and other stuff from sense UI?
...what about doing a hardreset/factory reset?
Could anyone give me a hand?
If you are not rooted I would think your options are limited
Do the obvious and clean up unused and performance hungry apps
As a last resort, factory reset may be your only option...
If your rooted I would try wiping dalvik and cache...
Good luck

Using a 3rd party laucher wont keep the Sense "stuff". You can try them from the playstore and uninstall if you dont like the look, with no issues or system changes to your phone. Try Nova and/or ADW Launcher.

Nope. You could try editing the thermald file to throttle the cpu when it gets too hot if you're worried about it.

Yes, says it right in the thread, read more son.
Hey is your phone going into deep sleep when this is enabled?
After I installed this (I did the APK method, for some reason the .zip wasn't downloading.) my settings app closes on launch.
I can still go Menu Key > Lock/Home Screen Settings to get into the app, but I can't even use All Settings.
I uninstalled the app, but the problem is still there. Any ideas?
