Any of the devs have plans to make an AOSP based ROM? I'd love to get rid of Sense.
We are sure to see AOSP eventually, but it may take a very long time to get the radio issues usually associated with porting AOSP ROMs to non-AOSP devices resolved. That is why devices like the Rezound have taken so long to see AOSP ROMs even with a fairly robust dev community. Your best bet in the short-term is through "De-Sensitized" ROMs that have the Sense framework intact but remove most of the theming to give the appearance of AOSP.

Yeah... I went that route with my Inc 2. Got it last May, it was about July when I found an almost Sense-free ROM and finally got CM7 around October.
I'm excited for Butter, Google Now, and the rest of what JB has in store.

I'm planning on doing a Sense-Free ROM. I just have to see what files are required to be removed. I think I have an idea, but I want it Sense-Free.

"See" and "try" are better than "no." I loved having CM9 on my original DInc. If we were to get CM9 or CM10 on the DInc 4G, I'd be beyond thrilled. I know that's quite a long way off, but a Senseless ROM will do just fine until then.

This is not true, especially with more recent versions of Sense. Sense 4.0 themes just about everything (phone & messaging apps, default browser, settings, and notification bar, to name a few), much of it far beyond the launcher.

Exactly... can't stand the white menu theme and the cartoony colored icons. I'm also looking forward to getting rid of the ever present location and WiFi notification icons in the status bar. ICS status bar and notification shade is gorgeous... Sense ruins it.

My personal preference is Sense (even when I had AOSP on my original Incredible, I searched tirelessly for themes that would make my phone look more like Sense 4), so I'd disagree with you there, but god do I agree with you on the WiFi notification and the persistent location symbol. There is almost no real estate in the notification bar for actual notifications; the whole thing is taken up by completely unnecessary indicators.
I also find the Sense app drawer really frustrating--there is just way too much going on. I keep the Sense launcher because I like the clock, but I'd love to see a custom ROM remove the unnecessary sidebars in the app drawer and make it look more like Nova.

The original sense 4 port for the sensation had a mod where it opened the AOSP app drawer because the sense one was messed up. So it is possible.

No, the quick dock is not in the AOSP version
in the AOSP there is no quick dock it is pretty much stock 3.1 homescreen experience. and the battery the AOSP was pulled from DocRambone's rom so nothing really has been modded by me on it other than just making it a flashable zip. I will look into changing batt colors when I get some time

There's an app called "Wizz Bar" in the Market that adds a minitray function somewhat similar to Touchwiz. You can configure what apps appear in the pop-up tray. It's free, btw.

OK - flashed doc's stock rooted/deodexed touchwiz rom... my initial impressions of touchwiz: not happy. However, after using it for a while now I am warming up to it...
I hate the new graphics... much prefer the darker look...
I flashed the AOSP bar and am much happier now. I didn't realize that the notification windows was changed back to AOSP as well - much better than the touchwiz menu...
It would be awesome if you could fix the battery icon (which is still the touchwiz version). It looks a bit cartoonish next to the honeycomb wifi icon. It would also be amazing if you could add in the quick bar and screenshot button. I'm not sure if this is feasible, but it would be awesome if it was...
Big thanks to you and doc!

HTC's fault. They gotta spend around.. hmm... couple months to integrate sense ui, and for View customers they gotta wait for Sprint to get done with it too.
well at least this will open up things for some neat custom ROM tweaks. Especially since ICS is based off HC and we already have working kernel and radio.
I see that the Flyer is not among the devices that Cyanogenmod develops for.
Is there any hope that someone will put together an ICS mod for Flyer?
I like HC but I don't like the permanent status bar and I don't like the way notifications work. ICS is much more suited for the flyer for these reasons. I would take stock ICS over HC with Sense even though I think that Sense is really cool.

For Cyanogenmod, we need to find a lead developer to bring the Flyer into the fold.
If the status bar in HC is one of your big issues, you won't like ICS any better. It's still there and works the same, can dim but not remove the bar.
"Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich System Bar and Action Bar
These are located in the System Bar - present in all apps - and enables you to navigate instantly to Back, Home, and Recent Apps. Virtual buttons are present across all apps, but can be dimmed by applications for full-screen viewing.
You can also access the contextual options for each app in the Action Bar at the top of the screen."

I have not seen anything that indicates there is an option to remove the bar. Google considers the bar "permanent decoration". You can dim it, not remove it.

It seems that you're right and that I was mistaken.
It also seems that on tablets, ICS notifications will work the same as they do on HC. That's too bad because I reallly like the pull down notification screen. For a 7" tablet, this works better than the pop up notifications on HC. I also still like the task killer. It is crazy that it is so difficult to close Apps on HC or earlier versions of Android.

I guess that's the answer to most questions.
There is really no reason to close apps unless they are misbehaving. Running a task killer just fights with the internal android task manager which works very well in HC.

What you are saying may be true from a technical perspective but enough people want this feature that Google has added it as a standard feature of ICS.
For me, it is just a housekeeping issue. Once I am finished with an App, I don't want to see it unless I need it again. If I am working on three things, I want easy access to those three things. I don't want to see some game that I played yesterday or the image of some website that I last visited.
Ok, I wasn't clear. Some people obsess about trying to close all tasks to free up memory, which is fruitless and fights the system which is trying to maximize memory use so that task don't have to be reloaded when needed. That action using a "task killer' is bad, makes the system lag and use more battery. Closing individual apps that you are done with and that don't need to run for background data is fine and there are many good applications on the market to do that, just be careful about automated task killers.
It would be nice if someone were to start a CM port for the Flyer. If HTC even does do an ICS update (unlikely, in my opinion), it's sure to be much later, considering Honeycomb is still not out. I'm sure there will be ICS ROMs for the Flyer, though...just maybe not CM.

Thanks for pointing this one out! I've seen this but gonna take a closer look at it. Ultimately it'd be cool to have a flash-able zip that only mods the doc to allow 5 without changing anything else. So far the other things I've tried to accomplish this have seemed to change the TW4 feel or just weighed down my device with options I wasn't interested in.
I would look into TW4.5
It is basically modified TW4
You can customize the doc and the app drawer separately.
On top of that, it has several other slick features

Ok, I am done pulling my hair out so maybe I can pay someone else to do this for me lol.
I want a Transparent Status Bar exlcluding the Clock / Battery .. All I want is Notificatons on left hand side and Signal/Wifi on the right hand side.
I have been trying to change framework to make it work but however all I can manage to do is either make it completely dissapear or change the color. I thought that I could atleast hide the notifications by making the battery and clock display transparent but when I do that it off centers the wifi/signal bars and just doesn't look right.
I however have not been succesfull at making the Bar itself transparent.
So, to sum it up. I will pay for someone to do this for me or willing to accept any and all pointers on how to accomplish this myself.
Systemui controls expanded status bar and everything except the battery. In systemui goto res/layout/ you can set dip of items to say 0.9999999 to hide it. Also colors.xml in res/values/
Running ICScrewD ROM
So you want a transparent status bar with only notifications and wifi/signal without the clock on the right?
How much $$$?

I played with Launcher 7 and its statusbar replacement but couldnt get it to work right after pulling things apart so trashed that project. I dug into some MIUI Framework but I can't even start to compare what they changed.
Is there a way to replace the StatusBar.apk from system with a customized version without it breaking somehting else.

The problem with WP7 bar is it is just overlay and doesnt actually replace the stock status bar and it actually uses a bit of battery. This is the reason I want the stock status bar modified.

First ROM for me. Spent the day half studying for a Calculus final and the other half making this.
Overall I'm very happy with it. Smooth, Stable, and ICS makes it look great.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for what happens if something goes wrong. I've tested it a lot and it should be fine.
5/6/12
Removed a lot of Sense and HTC files. Not 100% Senseless yet, but I don't really want to break anything.
Added Apex Launcher.
Added ICS Boot Animation.
Added AOSP Browser, Calculator, E-Mail, Messaging, Calendar
Added working Sprint Voicemail.
5/8/12
ICS Status Bar and ICS Settings.
MMS limit raised and defaulted to 5 MB
Some camera mods.
Added ICS Keyboard. Not default yet though.
Bugs: - I hate bugs. They'll be resolved or mitigated when my finals are over.
Can't seem to find a way to enable 4g on the ICS Notifications...
Lockscreen gets in the way of picking up calls. I consider this a bug. Not a privacy feature.
Music controls don't show up on the AOSP lockscreen. Using LeeDroid's AOSP Lockscreen fixes. Not sure if wallpaper is supposed to show up or not though.
If you find a bug then please PM me or discuss it in the thread.
Todo:
Take some fancy schmancy screenshots,
Theme framework-res.apk, Settings.apk, SystemUI.apk to AOSP ICS. # Half done.
Integrate Leedroid tweaks in a week. # Not really necessary anymore.
Apply some speed tweaks. IMO not totally important b/c there's not much speed gains to be had with much of anything besides cache size boosting or overclocking, but maybe Android has something I've never seen before in an OS.
Not sure of the stability of the file host. Will actively search for a place to mirror.

Install Instructions:
When the leak came out, I flashed Freeza's firmware. IDK what the verdict is on whether or not it's reversible or not, but I personally haven't seen any problems with reception or what not.
With that said:
1. Backup your Data with Titanium Backup or similar. I would also suggest a Nanddroid in case you want to go back.
2. Do whatever wipe style you like. I typically do a Factory Reset and then a System wipe from TWRP.
3. Flash the ics-signed.zip
----- If you want access to 4g or like the Sense status bar or the Sense Settings, do not continue. -----
4. Load the ROM. I haven't been able to avoid the step for whatever reason. Most likely my lack of skill with update-script.
5. Go back into recovery and install the ICS Notifications.

One thing, the mms force closing. Does the message still go through or no?

It does not. MMS completely works from the stock app though and you can just disable the notifications from the AOSP one or remove the App with Titanium Backup or not.
I was debating putting it in there, but I figured that I liked how it looked so I might as well.

Ok cool. So I can use the stock for mms and the aosp for SMS if i wanted to go that route.

Totally
If its FC'ing and the Sense one works, then the aosp mms should probably just ve left out... I know I'll be removing it since its not needed. ROM sounds awesome overall, can't wait to give it a spin.

It only FC'es on MMS. I personally never get MMS. People email me their pictures lol and I also dislike the way the stock messaging app looks. That's why it's in there.
Disregard post if previously read...found what i needed.. my bad..
Love seeing new guys jump into the ROM game. Welcome!

Thanks LS, I hope to be pretty productive.
Loaded the rom...everything seemed to work great except for mms...I did try to use both messengers and both failed to work for me....any ideas on what i may have done wrong?
Hmm mms seems to work for me from the stock app.
I'll make an update later and we'll see what happens.

Cool... appreciate it...
Idk if anyone remembers empiires suprarom but after reading the description in the op for some reason it reminded me of that, using a sense base getting as close to aosp as possible with losing that sense functionality. Any chance this'll be laid out in a similar manner?

Yeah, that's the kind of style I'm going for. I'm going to try to get as close to AOSP as possible until CM9 hits.
I'm hoping this has working camera and all also? I've been waiting for a ROM like this.

Yes, working 3d and 2d.
Had to move the ROM to my server and it's not spectacular so if anyone could mirror it it'd be great. Since Megaupload got taken down I haven't found a good file host that allows > 300 MB.
I'm working on pulling this damn update together with what I want it to have which should theme it to almost full ICS. But the zip just isn't agreeing with me.
You thinking a builds later tonight or tomorrow?
