Would you mind elaborating a bit? I had issues before when attempting to remove FriendStream (constant syncing) so now I only remove the widget. Haven't seen any other bad effects from removing widgets I do not use.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
I've never had a problem
[Droid Incredible Android Development] loudaccord:
Has anyone done any benchmarks from 2.2 to 2.3?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yopete525:
Sounds good, I'll try removing it later.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yopete525:
To my knowledge, removing widgets just means you can't use the widget anymore. Now removing the app and trying to use the widget could potentially cause some issues, if it remains selectable from the add menu on the launcher. I'm not sure how that would be handled, my guess is that it would either not be selectable, or you would just get a problem loading widget message.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RoboCuz:
I believe the problem some people are referring to, that I have also had, is if you remove the widget, then you will still see, in the list of widgets, some bogus entries. I have removed a bunch of the stock widgets, and now if I click on the home screen, and choose add widget, the first 4 or 5 entries are gibberish.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yopete525:
Did you remove the applications associated with those widgets? That could be the cause, I bet uninstalling the app removes the entry from the add widget menu.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] icon123:
Thanks for the rom. Is there anyway to add just the sense 3.0 email to this rom? It's the only way I can get html email with sense.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I don't think removing the VZ backup assistant will break anything since others have done it without issue.

I tried adding the 3.0 Email and MMS and they both FC'd. :( A lot of the newer sense apps just won't play nice with sense 1.0. I think our best bet is hoping that a 2.1/3.0 rom, with the new kernel, will translate to better performance.

I am also getting the location nag on every boot. I think that's part of the reason they delayed the release; small bugs like that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] godsmacked4653:
That was also an issue on the last leak. It absolutely drives me insane, and I haven't been able to figure out how to make it stop. :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
This is probably because you are on an odex rom and have not eliminated the .odex files associated with those widgets.

I removed so muck crap from my phone. In fact give me a sec I will post a list I made of everything I have removed with ZERO problems or errors.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
@Hand76 - LOL! You removed EVERYTHING!!! :D No calculator or calendar? I need to read PDF's too. :P

EDIT: Dude! You just gave me a great idea on how to make this a very unique rom. Now to test my linux scripting skills. :) Thanks and I'm clicking your thanks button too.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
If I can't add up numbers or remember events in my head I don't need em! :p
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Thanks and you gave me an idea that I should get rid of more stuff. :p lol

Let me ask you because you probably know better than me.

The Field Test/Field Trial.apk's the GSD.apk (from 2.3) and QXDM2SD.apk (from 2.3) are those all just development stuff left in by HTC? Those can be removed by the average user with no problem as well right?

I think so but may wait till someone who knows more than me says something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] davwman:
i get rid of those, but i run completely senseless.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Out of those, the only one I think it's safe to remove is GSD.apk. The field tests are not recommended to be removed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] watt9493:
Wow, you guys go CRAZY with the de-bloat

Your phone has now contracted phone AIDS. Shoulda used protection while rooting. LD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yopete525:
Hand, if I made my list it would be similar, I've kept a few things you removed and removed some things you kept.

When you completely get rid of Rosie and all related files (to go senseless) the list is even longer!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
If you guys combine your lists all you will be left with is the kernel and phone :D

That would make it an expensive feature phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Thats why I like getting unaltered roms when they come out, cause I (like you and many others) like to be able to configure things the exact way I want without someone making a custom rom and telling me what I should and should not use.

That's why I could not get into some roms like the CM nightlies, because once I remove everything I wanted gone, an update comes out and puts them back on.

Now to be fair there have been a few roms (I think Virtuous) that gave you a check list to add and remove apps and I thought that was pretty cool but still i would rather just control what goes into and out of my phone on my own.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yopete525:
Definitely with you on that. On cm I don't upgrade all that often and removing apps with titanium is easy enough though, so it's just a part of the setup for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
That's what I wanted to implement; a simple checkbox system to choose which apps / widgets to remove from the rom either pre or post install. It sounds like Virtuous already has something like that. :(
[Droid Incredible Android Development] badogg:
Exactly what I was thinking. Why not just go get a run of the mill cell phone and stay away from the smart phones. :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
LMAO!!! :D Might as well:

rm /system/app/Phone.apk

rm /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk

screw it...

# cd /

# rm -rf *

:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Cuz they ball like that yo! And + its Android, we can do whatever we want to it, lol​
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
True True! To each their own as long as it's Android based. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
For sure......
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yopete525:
If it's things I won't ever use, I'd rather not have them sitting in the app drawer/hanging out on lists/existing on my phone. AOSP doesn't have a lot of the apps and widgets that Sense does, but it's got everything I use. And why keep something like HTC's Music app if I prefer Google's music player, or 3G Mobile Hotspot if I'm not going to pay for it?

List of things I've removed, might not be 100% complete but these are all safe to remove as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] aweaver33:
I can't image having to settle for the stock calculator after using RealCalc, which is available for free on the market. But everybody has their own idiosyncratic preferences, which is why I agree with Hand76's approach of customizing a mostly stock ROM.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RyanTX:
So how do I get to recovery with this Rom? Power/volume down does a quick reboot....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Turn off Fast Boot in options.

Or leave Fast Boot on and use something like Rom Explorer to boot right to recovery.

But I think its safer to turn Fast Boot off because if your phone ever gets messed up and keeps going through reboots I dont know how easy it will be to get into recovery if fast boot is on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] big_mike_2k6:
Doing a battery pull will basically disable fast boot if ever a problem so you can boot into hboot at least and then recovery from there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Even if fastboot was on and you got stuck in bootloop all you would have to do is pull the battery then use vol down and power as usual. Fastbooot is like hibernation but if you pull the battery it shuts off completley.

Working perfectly so far, testing all the options and appear perfect. Have patience after flashing in CWM, first boot takes a lil while.

No problem. I never knew about it myself until I seen jermaine mention it in the op of his other Rom thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FlagAZ:
Does this rom include the new radio or do we need to flash the updated radio too?

thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
It's not included or necessary, but you may flash it separately if you'd like.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FlagAZ:
thanks for the very fast reapply!!!!!! Do you know if the new radio is working with this rom? It seems people are liking the new radio and like to try it out.

12 mins left to download!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Yes, it works fine. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FlagAZ:
One more question, I'm running build number 4.06.605.2 CL11240 release key. Do I need to do a full wipe before installing and when installing a new radio I don't need to do a full wipe, right?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
For the radio, no wipe needed. What's the other thing you're talking about installing? If you mean this rom, no wipe should be needed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FlagAZ:
Yes this rom, so no need to wipe...... I'm installing rom now..... Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FlagAZ:
I can not pull up my sd card, not sure why yet.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
That's the first time I've heard of that on this rom. You may need a wipe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] FlagAZ:
Got it, had to recover back to another rom. Did a full wipe and your rom installed. So far it's working great. Thanks for your help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Awesome! I'm glad it's working for you.

How did you get that 3G icon on there? I love that icon.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] big_mike_2k6:
I swapped in the icons from the incredible 2. I can post a zip for you to flash if you would like?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Quantumrabbit:
How'd you customize the icons at all? I downloaded the app, but I can't see a way to change the icons.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] big_mike_2k6:
For the toggle icons once you're at this screen tap icons & color.

Once you get here then just tap on the icon for the toggle you want to swap the icon. It will bring up either the gallery or file explorer to choose you're custom icon. I used HTC icons I pulled from the frameworkres and app apks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
What app are you guys refering to, i am interested in trying this out.

Any wayof getting that annoying gps icon removed from the notification area when not using gps?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Yep. I added it to my other rom. I'll make a flashable zip for this one tomorrow.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffgman:
Jermaine,

Did you ever get a chance to create this zip? I am using the stock ota rom from Incubus, will it work with that rom too?

Thanks,

Jeff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I don't have a zip for the GPS icon, because mine is themed to match my rom. I think Incubus is making an update for his OTA Release to add it because he asked me for the fix and I gave it to him.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffgman:
OK thanks. I also want to install a file called "UOT-Numeric colored battery" which changes the battery, but I see that also changes systemUI.apk and I would imagine one will overwrite the other. I guess I will need to figure out how to decompile these programs and make the changes I want and recompile. Google here I come.

Thanks for all of your hard work with the Incredible. I do not personally use your rom, but I know your help in this community is amazing and I greatly appreciate it.

My apologizes for hijacking your thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Disregard. See next post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
EDIT: Better yet, give me a sec and I'll make a flashable one out of the Stock SystemUI.apk and post it. Flash that before you do the kitchen and you'll be good. I'll attach it to this post.

Try the attached zip and let me know if it works for you. If so, I'll link this post in the OP.

EDIT: Must be the wrong file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffgman:
I will give this a try, but I am not sure I completely understand. I don't know what you mean by the kitchen? I have a zip file called UOT-Numeric colored battery.zip which I was going to install via recovery. I noticed that changed the systemUI.apk file. So, I figured I would not be able to install two zip files via recovery that have the same file in it.

So, after I install your zip file I will have removed the GPS icon. What do I need to do to change the battery icon with the one from the UOT-Numeric colored battery?

Thanks for your help and sorry for being a pain.

Jeff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Ohhh.... I thought you wanted to make your own in the UOT kitchen. My bad. Are you sure the one you're going to flash is for the stock leak (no color changes or anything besides the battery)? If so, do this... Open the UOT file with 7zip on your pc. Open my flashable zip in another 7zip window and set them up so the windows are side by side.

Navigate into the UOT zip /system/app and then double-click the SystemUI.apk file. If windows asks what to open it with, browse to your program files-->7zip folder and choose 7zFM.exe.

In the 7zip window with my flashable zip in it, do the same thing until both windows are showing you the META-INF and res folders + AndroidManifest.xml, etc.

Click and drag classes.dex file from my zip into the UOT zip. Do the same for the resources.arsc file. Then close the UOT 7zip window. It should ask if you want to update the zip. Click "Yes". Then close the other 7zip windows. Flash the UOT one and you should be golden.

Report back if you attempt that! :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Thanks for the flash for that Jermaine. Now I can get rid of the icon and the warning message on start up.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You're welcome Bud! Hit the button :D Did the icon removal work? I didn't test it since my rom is customized.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Will let ya know in 5 minutes. Just in clockwork recovery now doing a restore of the rom and will flash this and see what happens.

I actually took that systemUI file you had in a post that showed what to change and combined that with htc.resourse.apk and framwork.apk in UOT Kitchen and it removed the icon for me lol. BUT your systemUI was alot smaller in size then the stock one I have so I never knew what else you changed :p All that I know is it worked.

Oh well will try this way this time and see if it works. Restoring now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Jermaine doesnt seem to be working.

I get Status Bar has stopped unexpectedly and can not see my notifications.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Ok Hand. Tell me what you did exactly?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
I just flashed it through update.zip :p

Restored my rom with the leaked GB stock SystemUI, cleared cache and davlik, and flashed both this and the warning message pop up.

The warning message worked this does not.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffgman:
I just did some research on the UOT kitchen and I will give that a try. I just installed your GPS icon removal zip files in recovery, but when I rebooted it tells me systemui.apk has crashed and I do not have a status bar at all.

Jeff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
BTW I am on Icubus deodexed RLS2, dont think that matters, but yea.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffgman:
I am on the same rom as you, and have the same problem with the zip file. I guess something wrong with the systemui.apk file in the zip. I am sure Jermaine will figure it out. I just know he is juggling a couple different roms right now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Ok guys. That must not be the right file. I have too many laying around here. I'm sorry. I'll decompile the one from the leak, make the change and then post it. I've removed the bad zip to keep anyone else from having issues. Give me like 10 mins.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Sure thanks man. I will be back in like 15 min or so and be happy to try it out. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Here you guys go... I GUARANTEE that this one is correct and will work. :)

Delete the old zip before you download this one, so there's no confusion.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Trying it out in a few will let ya know. Thanks boss.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffgman:
Perfect, works great. I flashed this and the notification nag screen zip and everything is working great. I hope you don't mind if I ask one more question. So, now that I have your customized systemui.apk file on my phone, I am going to try the UOT kitchen modification for the battery. Do I just upload the systemui.apk, framework-res.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk files that are currently on my phone to the UOT kitchen and then click on submit in the kitchen? By using those files from the phone your modification will stick, correct? And I will get the new battery?

This is so much fun.

Thanks again for all of your hard work.

Jeff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Ok looks good back up and running, no force closings and the icon is gone from the status bar. :) Thanks man.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Hand76:
Yep I used root explorer to put those apk's on my sd card and transfer them to my pc to use in UTO Kitchen.

Basically UTO will give you back a .zip to flash and all the corrections you made now are done and will stick.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Awesome guys! Yes, use those files from your phone and the mods will stick, + you'll have the battery mod.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jeffgman:
Yes, that method will probably be easier. I was going to use adb pull, but I like your method better.

I do know linux so it doesn't scare me.

Thanks,
