Beats stopped working for me, as it is tied into Sense and the stock music player.

For that reason, I switched to a free app in the market called Equalizer. Works with ANY audio app, and it gives a lot more options than Beats.
[HTC Rezound] KKellett:
Wifi tether?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Wifi Tether works....

The only problem we have right now is not having perm root, so if you reboot your phone you can no longer run super user apps (such as wifi-tether). If you're near a computer you can always re-root the phone again.
[HTC Rezound] KKellett:
Sweet thanks
[HTC Rezound] nujackk:
And just to be clear this just disables the sense stuff, not remove it right?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
correct, you can re-enable if you want to go back

Removing any system apps does nothing as they will all return once you reboot your phone and lose temp root. So the best we can do for now is disable (aka "freeze") apps.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Figured I'd let us have some a stock rom UI until we get some AOSP!
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
would this work while on a rom?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yeah, that's the reason I updated this script... I have done it with Scroller's Clean Rom, and now BAMF's...
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
Nice script. De-sensed and removed bloat and other apps. down to 142 apps and 524mb ram free with a cleared task manager.

Running "buttery smooth" with Go Launcher + Go Locker (ics themes for both).

Only thing I miss is the home screen shot ability. Rather not use an app.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Hmmm, theres an apk we can enable to fix that functionality. Ill look into it when I get to a comp
[HTC Rezound] kidwolf908:
Wow! How did you get down to so few apps?

Does sense have a bunch of apps associated with it? I used CleanTool to remove bloat and stuff, but I still have 217 apps. And I boot with about 350MB free.

How are the ICS themes for GO Launcher and Locker? I've been considering making the switch to them but just haven't jumped yet.

EDIT: Btw, is that the GO Launcher EX ICS Theme or the generic ICS Theme that works with ADW, GO, and LauncherPro?
[HTC Rezound] mpetruzz:
I just used this and am getting random reboots pretty badly. Has anyone else gotten this problem??
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Removed some of the disabling which was causing screenshot functionality to not work.

If you used version 4 of the script, download the new one and run the "Re-Sense" option. Then if you want to de-sense again, feel free to do it in the same boot. When you're done reboot you should have the screen shot available.
[HTC Rezound] randpost:
Delete everything in bast525 freezable apps thread (search for "list of freezable apps"), you will be around the 500mb free mark after that.

---------------

the themes are better than stock Go Launcher Ex, and I love the new look. I get tired of things quickly.

---------------

Go Theme = Ice Cream Sandwich (theme) by: kovdev

Best one out of the dozen I tried.

Go Locker Theme = Go Locker ICS Theme by: Go Launcher Ex

It works perfectly now. Thanks danutzz!

EDIT: just thought I should post that Beats works perfectly after De-Sensing and Antutu is giving me a couple more points after desensing.

Overclocked @ 1728

Overclocked @ 1728 + De-Sensed
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
I think you missed a few apps that should be frozen. I get some force closes when rebooting sometimes.

You can check the script for the newest Cleantool and see if there is any in there you haven't got in your tool. Cleantool doesn't work with the new unlocked bootloader root like this one does. I wonder what the difference is...
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
Disregard, it's working now.

Wow, huge difference with Sense being "gone", running through the system menus and the drop down notification screen has improved and smoother. It's amazing how much Sense really kind of bogged things down a bit.
[HTC Rezound] liquidraven:
So this will kill the gallery function or?

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Followed the steps, went into a boot loop..doing a wipe and trying again..not sure why this happened..

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

re did it and no reboot loop now. How do i know im de-sensed? Since im using BAMF rom should i disable the Sense 3 spin animation under BAMF settings?

thanks
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
You'll know if you're de-sensed if your Rosie launcher is gone.
[HTC Rezound] liquidraven:
when i ran the script, it only took about 30 secs..when i rebooted the phone i still had all the blockbuster, game, and vzw apps..after going to BAMF settings and manage apps it showed HTC sense disabled along with some widgets and other things.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
This only is intended to remove sense. Not to remove bloat, u can use TiBu or the like to remove extra apps.

Additional note:

Just created a Non Sense Rom based off BAMF 1.0, uploading now... this mofo is so fast it's not even funny. Gonna apply ziggy's kernal and probably be blasing.
[HTC Rezound] triton302:
I stand corrected, confused myself. Edited my post.

Nice, can't wait to see this ROM.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Desensed and now when i get an incoming call, i dont get the sceeen to answer the call. Does anyone know what apk controls that?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Updated for ICS roms... enjoy!
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
Say I flash Scott's senseless ics Rom, clean Rom ics, etc. What does this util actually do to the roms? Sense is already gone in his senseless Rom, right. and clean rom ics has stuff taken out. How would I benefit from this utility?
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
Would this work with Newtoroot's version of ICS? Because its 4.03 instead of 4.01 like all the other roms...
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yes, that's what I'm running now
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
For dev's that don't or have not yet released a senseless version of their ROM you can now de-sense it...
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
So you'd say it works pretty well then?
[HTC Rezound] dejahboi:
So any reported bugs? Or any issues with Scott's or nils updated roms?
[HTC Rezound] Wkd1:
I'll be trying it on Nils ROM tonight. I'm at work now and have to install adb, sdk and such on my lappy first. Should be up and running within the next couple hours. I will try and report back later.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yeah, it works good. Only one problem is when u get an inc call you have to unlock your phone to answer... I'll look into this tomorrow and report back
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
couple questions...

- what happened to live wallpapers? when i long press on home screen it just gives me reg wallpapers?

- do you know how to get the ics keyboard on here from the gnexus builds? looking for the official ics keyboard.

- there is a "SIM TOOLKIT" app in the launcher now, wasnt there before. any idea what this is and if so can i remove it?

- last, is that a way to sync facebook with my contact since i no longer have htc facebook sync?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
-- I removed a bunch of the HTC ones in the "Remove more HTC stuff" option; and also if you used "remove htc lockscreen" option, I took off the HTC's home personalize. If you want to keep Live Wallpapers, I recommend just using the first option "De-Sense with ICS" and go from there.

-- I would need the apk of the keyboard to add, it. I'll do some searching for it and let you know later

-- Sim toolkit has been on every rom for the rezound. It's a required app for data connection. It might have been hidden in your original launcher, but once you installed the ICS launcher it showed up.

-- As I mentioned in instructions, sync all accounts prior to de-sensing for best results. Although, even after de-sensing you should still be able to sync contacts and calendar from facebook, the only option that should be un-checked is "live feed".
[HTC Rezound] snickle:
Just ran this over scotts CleanROM ICS. Looks good, but lost a music widget.

I will look for a replacement
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yeah, u will not be able to use any sense widgets unless you have sense home, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of de-sensing
[HTC Rezound] snickle:
Used this on top ofc leanrom 2.1. Looks good.

Switched power amp music player and removed htcs.

Any chance of gps widget that will actually turn it on?

Anyway to get the task switcher? It is a nice feature of ics that seems missing.
[HTC Rezound] Sharrock:
I'm still stuck on the 4G LTE screen of the boot after hitting option 2 and rebooting. Help?
[HTC Rezound] azalvarez03:
Love this tool!! Big thanks on making it so easy!! Anyone know what steps I should take to get the system menu, notification bar and change highlight color from green to blue? Just trying to make the entire system look more aosp love that look running 4.0.3 ics w/ sense at the moment
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I would recommend a battery pull... The only thing I can think of is that you rebooted using fastboot.

What rom are you using? Did you run option 1 first?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jakar.gpstogglewidget

That's the gps widget I use, not the prettiest, but it works

You can get to the task switcher by long pressing home soft button
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
any chance of adding more aosp apps? im trying to do it on my own here. but adding it to a quick script like this would be great.
[HTC Rezound] stoffelck:
oh by the way

Just wanted to thank you for the script. works a treat!
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
The thing is that the more you sense ui you remove, the more buggy your phone gets. Don't really have time right now to troubleshoot too many issues, and figure out what works and what doesn't. Out of curiosity what apps were you looking for?

Sure thing, it's just something I use on my phone and figured I'd share... glad I could be of some help.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
this might be a newb question, but can you de sense with Go Launcher Ex? that'd be cool cuz GO has some pretty legit themes and such... or would it make any difference removing the HTC launcher?
[HTC Rezound] tailgunner05:
can someone post a link for 4.1, please?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Here you go... 4.1
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
I just ran this on nils ics and now my mms isnt working. Tried flashing the gallery and mms app in a prev post and its still stuck on sending. Man i cant wait for a goos aosp rom!!

Edit : what are you using to edit the bat file. Notepad doesnt format it right. Thanks

Edit2: fixed the mms problem. Remed out the mms.apk push line.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
mms should work fine, you might have to remove the shortcut from the homescreen but then you should be able to get the application from the launcher drawer and replace it in the homescreen as a shorcut... Although it could be different for nils rom
[HTC Rezound] 760hacker:
What about the calendar widget it is sized 5by4 so it won't stick on my screen because it thinks the screen is full
[HTC Rezound] ieisha:
Does this give u the blue colors ( clock etc signals etc) when u desense ?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I don't know what calendar widget you're referring too. The stock ICS calendar widget is 2x3.

There is no theme-ing involved, whatever theme you have in your current rom should remain the same. If you're using an ICS rom and install the ICS launcher, the theme-ing will not carry over to the "contacts/people" app, or your "dialer" app as you would be using the standard ICS versions of these apps. Things like status bar icons, notification menus, etc. would remain the same.
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
This is a great tool danutzz! Ive used it on cleanRom ics and its running great. I had to install the launcher before running the desense for some reason but it worked! Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Sure thing, glad i could help. =)
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Love the work here, but you think you can give us the option of the stock ICS battery icon as the HTC one isn't as good imo. Thanks

You think I can install the battery icon/apk from the link here on my device with out messing things up? If so any ideas how, do I just install it or do I have to put it in a particular folder? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1470497

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

Okay, so unlocking to camera works for me, but certain widgets, like Calendar, gmail, and the downloaded audio manager app do not work. I get a message saying "No room on this home screen," but I am trying to add the widget on an empty screen. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Anyone having issues with selecting sounds, because after installing this is am having this issue.
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Yeah you need to keep the file Htcsoundsetdownloadmanager.apk.

I would also recommend you keep homepersonalize.apk too.
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Where would I put that first file?
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
/system/app/
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Thank you, I had a feeling it was there and just extracted the files from the rom I am using and put it there with the correct permissions. I only put the sound one, is home personalize, need and if so for what purpose, seeing as we are suppose to be senseless. Will that possibly fix the issue I have with certain widgets?
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
I forget why i put homepersonalize.apk back. I think it had to do with a lockscreen function. Using widget locker now and no issues. So yeah you dont need it.
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Well I prefer the stock ICS lock, and have the slide to camera working for me. But, any ideas as to how I can get widgets that do not work to workings again?
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
What widgets? Sense widgets?
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
As previously stated a few ICS widgets(in my case calendar and gmail), and one download widget. Worked actually fine prior to this mod on the rom I am on(at least the download one did).
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Just loaded the calendar and gmail widget no problem. Dont have the download widget. Btw... Using Joelz new rom.
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
I am on the same rom. It says that home screen has no room on it, despite the fact that it's an empty home screen. My bad I should have been a bit clear, its a widget I downloaded from the market, called audio manager, not a download widget. I didn't have an issue with audio manager when I was on Joel's rom with Sense on it, but moments later that I went fully Senseless that when the issue popped up. The gmail widget I don't even think takes up that much space.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Dunno about a widget problem, maybe it's the app.... I used to use audio manager but have switched to audio guru. Maybe try that?

Home personalize is for live wallpapers and HTC wallpapers. I don't know anyone that uses live wallpapers cause they drain so much battery so I figured I'd remove that?

also I didn't realize that sound profiles app was required to change your ringtone. I change so many roms that I don't bother setting up my ringtone each time =p. I'll put out an update sometime tomorrow.
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Well, I can deal with the audio widget, but the fact that the stock calendar widget, and gmail widget are not working for me is no dice.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Do you think it is possible to include some of the tweaks/cool things from this theme/mod(with the developers approval of course) please?
[HTC Rezound] whitelight:
So wait, What exactly does this do? Does it disable sense or completely removes it. Does the rom become Aosp after running this? What about the contacts app, does it become aosp or stays sense-wise?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
It deletes what parts of Sense that can be safely removed. It doesn't make it AOSP.

Matt
[HTC Rezound] whitelight:
Oh ok I see thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Taebom:
I can't for some reason get this to work with the latest cleanrom gbe. I run the .bat and it reboots my phone, but sense with the rosie is there and no go launcher.
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
With de-sense+ics launcher, I needed to install launcher first then run .bat. might work for go launcher too.

I was on cr.ics tho
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I was actually wondering about that, because if you don't have a second launcher already installed removing Rosie would leave you in quite a lurch :eek:
[HTC Rezound] whitelight:
It's worth a try but when I used it I didn't have go launcher installed. I chose the option to use go launcher and it installed it for me. Make sure usb debugging is on and must be in charging mode.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Also, the rosie.apk, might be named different on that specific rom... I havn't used that specific rom so I'm not sure. If you want to double check, use any root exploring app and go to /system/app/ and see if there's a file named "Rosie.apk".

But then again, you say "go launcher" isn't installing? that's weird... maybe your system is not getting mounted correctly, like the above poster said, make sure you have USB Debugging enabled.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Hey Danutzz,

no hurry, just curious if you have had time to update this yet so we can switch ringtones and what not.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Sorry for the delay, been really busy. Updated batch file and added some more goodies :D
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Thank you ! wasn't trying to bother just was holding off on trying this out until the ringtone thing was sorted out :)
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
So, I can re-run this if I am already on your previous version to get some of new features/updates, or how should one go about that?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yes, you can re-run the script to add the new features. Although, this will not re-install the sound apk that my previous version was removing. Someone posted the apk, i believe on page 12 or 11 of this thread that you can push onto your phone. If changing the ringtone works on your phone now, or you don't care about changing it, you should be good.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
sound options not working for ICS notification and settings, looking into this
[HTC Rezound] whitelight:
Ok I had one problem. I couldn't access my SD card when I connected my phone to the computer. Is that a sense apk or something that got removed. If so is there another way to go about that. I had to use my WiFi for transfering files for now. Not a big deal but if I don't have a WiFi available I font know what ill do then. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I get this issue when I reboot my phone and have the usb cord plug in. If I unplug the USB and plug back in it get's fixed. What rom are you using?
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
Try unmounting and remounting your sd card in settings under storage
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Installed the ICS notification and settings and now im getting a ui error.

Is there way with this app to install the stock ICS messaging app and contact app while keeping Sense, or no?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
The error comes up after the first reboot. After that, I don't see it again. Also, as noted in the main post. "Sound" setting does not work.

Are you getting the error somewhere else? When do you get the error?
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Yeah I noticed that too, but it's not going away for me actually. Additionally, the status bar isn't actually showing up for me. Hmmm.

I think I may just stay fully Sense until a fully Sensless/AOSP roms comes up. Any ideas on getting the stock ICS sms/mms and contact app working on a Sense rom with your bat file? Or do I have put into the correct folders manually to make it work?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
You can use any root explorer app and move the apk's into /system/app/

or do it via adb with the following commands

adb remount
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
adb push Mms.apk /system/app/

reboot when your done
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
I knew how to do it manually so I will just do that. Thank. Still will be stock lock screen though, and wish we could find a way to remove the issue when getting a call. I take I should delete the Sense sms/contact app right?
[HTC Rezound] whitelight:
I'm using ICS sense v1.2, I didn't try unplugging it many times but I believe I did once. I tried to unmount it but failed. Weird. I should reboot and see if that works.
[HTC Rezound] Giggles 312:
yeah having the same issue. Running ICS Sense Redefined. strange.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Technically you could leave the HTC SMS app on your phone, but I don't see the point in having two apps for the same purpose. And if you didn't remove the HTC lock screen you shouldn't have to unlock to answer calls (ie enter your pin/face unlock), although you still have to answer the call with the HTC ring, just like a regular sense ui
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Well I am having a slight issue now. I removed the HTC lock screen on the latest Sense Redefined rom, but I am getting fc related issues with HTC Sense every time I try to add a widget. I don't even have any apps installed from Titanium back up yet and it did it.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I'm confused... Did you use any de-sense options(1-3)? I wouldn't recommend removing the HTC lockscreen unless you de-sense. If you didn't de-sense and you removed the HTC lockscreen then you will get FC's cause the script removes the HTCPersonalize apk which is has all the htc widgets and junk.
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Oh okay. Cause I moved to the newer version of that rom today and thought I just use the stock screen only and nothing else. Didn't know that would be an issue. Thank you.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

I was only able to get the ICS contact app working. I tried both ways for the MMS app, but no go. Any ideas?

Edit: adding the MMS widget fix it for me. Thanks.

Now only if I could get the ICS settings theme to work.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I have installed a different settings APK from Newtoroot's ICS senseless (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481408) rom, which I believe he got from Gummy rom. Sound Settings works in this APK, although "About" & "Rom Control" does not work. This is better than not being able to change sound settings.

Added Settings.apk to OP and updated script. Thanks for the response "newtoroot".
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
Thank you, and my bad I should have said quick settings.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Quick settings now available...
[HTC Rezound] who MIKE D:
Really nice work man, really easy to use and works perfect!
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Yeah, nice job! You could also add an option to flash recoveries too.
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
Unbelievable! JoelZ Redefined /desensed+nova+romControl (thanks to this tool!) = joy!

I did need to use root explorer for mms/romControl/settings but everything is working great!!

Thanks again!
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yeah, I'm using Joelz too.... wicked fast! I didn't know if I should add the rom control apk as it takes up some ram, i like my phone running clean =P
[HTC Rezound] reggie cheeks:
That's a good point. I've only used one setting in Rom control...

Uninstalled it:) and it kept the custom label:)
[HTC Rezound] Flyhalf205:
I am using Joel redefined ics and not being able to send mms. Anyone else having problems with mms?
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
I'm using the same rom... once in a blue moon i'll get an error message from the mms app while sending a message but it still sends. I can't really replicate the issue that you're having =\
[HTC Rezound] mikeyasuragi:
Just a heads up, Yeh tool removes a module/apk/whatever called "View Video" that's necessary to, well... view videos. This occurs when using option 3 or 5, not sure which, but I'm guessing 5. YouTube and flash still work, but watching videos stored on the phone does not work through the HTC gallery.
[HTC Rezound] whitelight:
Yeah I noticed the other day. I was surprised, but luckily I had mobo player installed so I was able to watch the videos just fine.
[HTC Rezound] tbaker077:
I am using the mms.apk on latest redefined rom, but I am right now having issues getting mms to work. I can't open/receive the picture a friend sent me.
[HTC Rezound] danutzz:
Yeah, I don't use the stock HTC Video player, I downloaded one that also plays divx codecs. That's why I removed it.

Stock mms is a known issue for joelz roms right now. I Believe he knows about this issue and is working on it for his "Sensless release".
