The thread title is misleading you can disable sense. The problem is they removed the vanilla android launcher. But you can most definitely disable sense launcher and use a third party launcher.
[EVO 4G General] SMARTPHONEPC:
Can you still do the following:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbXLsiWNqP8

I'm waiting for the EVO to ship with 2.2 & want to be able to remove sense. I know there is always rooting but it would be nice to be able to do it without concerns of voiding the warranty.
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
The point of this thread is that we CANT do that. Launcher isn't an option. They removed the apk.

What language should i say this in?

Well. Let's start writing those emails.

Sent from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] iceman99393:
Anyway to reinstall that apk file?
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
What you should be saying is HTC removed the vanilla android launcher. You can still force stop sense and clear it as the default launcher. You just need to install another launcher. Some really good ones are available on the market. I think Launcher + is better than the Android one even better than the froyo one.
[EVO 4G General] myth_mn:
Ummm, you CAN do that, just reinstall the launcher or download a different one from the market. They didn't prevent you from using a different launcher other than Sense. Just go download Helix2 which is nearly identical to the stock one plus more, or Launcher pro which super fast. If you really want the stock Laucher just ask for it and someone could probably post it.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
It has always been the way it is for me now... all they did was remove the stock Launcher. All you have to do is download a new Launcher and set it as default, very simple and I've had Android for less than a week.
[EVO 4G General] ghos401:
Can someone point me to a download link for the stock launcher apk? much appreciate it

Thanks for "Launcher2.apk" I got "Application not installed".

Launcher Pro is in the market and works perfect..
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
Probably because it is pulled out of /system/app
[EVO 4G General] tarheelsmj12001:
disabling sense and using the stock launcher was the only way to get my computer to see my phone. i tried launcher pro but my comp will not see my phone now, very very frustrating.
[EVO 4G General] tarheelsmj12001:
ok so i still cant get my computer to see my EVO. i went into device manager and under Android USB Devices, it says T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide. That cant be normal bc i do not have that phone n i never have n no other phone has ever been connected to my comp besides my iphone. can someone please help me, i cant add music or even root my EVO.
[EVO 4G General] jamerican413:
If you've already tried this, apologies - but have you gone to Settings > Connect to PC > Default Connection Type > Disk drive? If not, that is probably the answer you're looking for.
[EVO 4G General] tarheelsmj12001:
yea unfortunately i have tried that, my work computer sees my phone wit no problem, but mine does not so its gotta be something to do wit my comp i just cant figure it out.

I have preordered a white Evo at BB. Any idea if these units would have already left HTC if they are due on the 11th. I am asking because it looks like the new updates blocks root with no solution just yet.

Anyone familiar with Best Buy know how early they receive product before launch date?

Also, I haven't heard anyone speculate that this device would be hardware version 04. Anyone else getting their hands on a white Evo on the 11??

Didin't realize I was in Android Dev
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firerat:
its either

Gallery3d.apk

or

com.cooliris.media.apk

depends on how it was installed, probably the first

but this script would look for both, and uninstall them.. cleanly

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
for i in Gallery3d.apk com.cooliris.media.apk;do
find /data/app/ /system/app /sd-ext/app -iname $i -exec rm {} \;

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparksco:
a easy way to find out is to use adb to pull all of your system apps

code: adb pull /system/app/

That's it! wait for it to finish and then you magically have all of your system apps copied to your sdk tools folder. I've copied and push system apps from one rom to another using this method. For instance, Many times I like the dialer or contacts or launcher apk's from one rom, but other things in another rom. This way I have mixed and matched my roms to customize them the way that I want to. Hope this helps!

[HTC Aria Android Development] ice3186:
okay so I think I the only one using a Mac in this rooting process. A few things I have learned and may already be known but I thought I would clarify.

1.) to get a loop to run on the mac i had to re-write the file loop.bat

this is the code that works for me and how to do it.

a.) rename the file to end in .sh not .bat the way it came

b.) open the file with TextEdit

c.) delete all of the text in it and write this in there

while [ "0" ]
do
{
./adb devices
}
done

d.) save the file back in the sdk/tools folder

e.) in terminal the command once you cd to the folder is ./loop.sh

2.) i have yet to be successful in the attempt to root so anyone knowing anything to help would be appreciated! But i am still cracking i think i am going to wear out the plug before i am done though.:D
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
it should be pointed out that the loop does nothing except tell you if you have a connection or not. When you plug in the usb port, it will respond after a few seconds, or it won't. Try again.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
This isn't complete - this just gets you to clockwork and you haven't installed anything yet. You need to add steps to add root acces or flash a rom that is rooted. Also, make sure to reference the unrevoked tool to install Clockwork after root so this whole ordeal can be avoided next time.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mjgreenjr:
Yes! The secret was formatting the sd card outside of the phone. I am now rooted and liberated! Thanks for plugging along with all the advice guys!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Really good tips. I hope you don't mind - I am going to link to this to my original thread.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Corporate Dog:
Troubleshooting Tip on Prerequisite Step 2: If you're working behind a firewall, router, or proxy server, you're going to have to configure SDK Setup to use an open port on that device, in order to download updates.

I won't go through the exact steps here, but if SDK setup is hanging, this is the most likely culprit.

Regards,

Corporate Dog
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
get a copy of linux livecd and then you don't have to actually set up the SDK or worry about any drivers.
[HTC Aria Android Development] gtg465x:
If you made it to clockwork using this method then you're rooted. Check eugene's updated instructions. Look at the 6/29/2010 update on his original post... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6820344&postcount=1

I will add a reference to the unrevoked tool.
[HTC Aria Android Development] gtg465x:
Excellent troubleshooting tips. I added a note about formatting your SD card to the prerequisites.

Thanks. Added a reference to your post.

Noted in the original post.

Thanks. Added the workaround.

Thanks. Added a note to the top of the prerequisites.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
In no way, shape or form are you done after set 12.

You need to do more than just get into Clockwork. That alone doesn't root the phone.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
My mistake. He not only updated his instructions, he updated his update.zip. That should do it.

Good job!
[HTC Aria Android Development] steezee:
I was just wondering If I have device issues after it is rooted, is it possible to remove the root and flash everything back to factory defaults for warranty purposes like the windows phones or is it once the warranty is gone it is gone?
[HTC Aria Android Development] modest_mandroid:
Dunno if you can reflash the stock recovery again if you replaced it with clockwork, but you can definitely flash the stock ATT rom again. You can download it from HTC's site: http://member.america.htc.com/download/Web_materials/Manual/HTC_Aria_ATT/HTCAriaOriginalShipROM.exe
[HTC Aria Android Development] Shovelhead84:
Banging my head on the wall. Got it to detect device once on loop. Never again after that. Phone shows up in device manager. Formatted 8gb and 2 gb cards several times.

urge growing. ... want to . . break.. . . .. . .random objects. . .
[HTC Aria Android Development] gtg465x:
Sorry, I should have mentioned that he updated his update.zip.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jaex:
You guys are right , there are missing step in the tutorial to fully root Aria.

after i get in to the clockwork from the step above. i have to install the custom rom that can be found in the forum.

when i try to install "Unrevoked team: Recovery reflash tool (updated - Now for Aria/Liberty!) " . the process goes throught but the recovery is still the same HTC blue color recovery screen.

so before you insert your sd card into the phone after you format the sd card. remember to copy the rooted rom into the sd card so when you successfully get into the clockwork. you want to install the rom then your aria is rooted with superuser icon on the application.

after then you do the "Unrevoked team: Recovery reflash tool (updated - Now for Aria/Liberty!) step .
[HTC Aria Android Development] gtg465x:
There are no steps missing from the first post. I rooted my Aria using that method. Just make sure you have the latest Root.zip from eugene's thread. He updated it the other day and if you try to use the older version of Root.zip with this method it will not work.

What you are doing is installing a custom rom, which is fine, but it's not required to root the Aria.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jaex:
i was trying to get the clockwork to install and it only work after i load the liberated_aria_b003_signed.zip

before i load liberated_aria_b003_signed.zip , it still give me the default HTC recovery screen.

after i load liberated_aria_b003_signed.zip and install "Unrevoked team: Recovery reflash tool (updated - Now for Aria/Liberty!) " . i get the clockwork screen as the recovery screen . :)

i still can't get the side loading to show after i follow the step from here

•COMMON:

•Enable USB debugging (settings > applications > development > USB Debugging)

•adb remount

ok so i have a question i am trying to do this with windows 7 and i have reformatted the sd card at least 20 times in windows and it will see the phone in loop when it is in android but it will not see it in recovery. i would also add that i am using a 1gb micro sd card. any help would be greatly apprericated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
You don't run that from clockwork. You run that from Android with USB debugging on, provided you have a properly rooted phone.

Once done and you've rebooted, sidleloading won't "show" - it will just work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] MadeInMex4usa:
well im stock!

im stock at the step, lets get started/ step 2

Open Command Prompt or Terminal and CD to the SDK tools directory.

how do i do that, help me thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] xdafly:
In windows, you can select Run, CMD, Ok --> that opens a command window

In Linux, you can run Konsole,Terminal but may need to sudo su to have rights

As to the SDK, once you dowload the .zip archive from the link, unzip it to C:\ and since it contains a folder (allow unzip to create the stored folders) the actual name of the folder will become C:\android_sdk_windows which I would rename to just android, or C:\android

hope that helps.

I can't seem to find my phone on the loop, i tried at least 20+ times... i can get to the triangle with the exclamation mark and press volume+up and power. i can continue to step 9 tho, but it doesn't seem to work probably because it isn't detected in the cmd box. any tips on getting my phone to to be detected on the loop?

i have also tried plugging it in first and immediately hitting the power button. that didn't seem to work either...
[HTC Aria Android Development] Breakology:
Hey Gang, thanks for the how-to on rooting my Aria.

This was my first crack at rooting any Android phone, its my first one after all. I started out trying to do this with Unbuntu but had some issues. I tried it with Vista since the directions seemed more windows oriented, and got it to work after about 2-3 hours of trial and error and reading through the forums.

just some general notes on what worked, formatting the sdcard is a must, use FAT32 and quickformat, no need to do a full. After reading through some of the posts there seem to be a few folks that keep reformatting the card. Once is fine so long as don't reboot the phone into Android modest_mandroid clarified the answer to that in his OP You can get back in to the bootloader by waiting until the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen shows up and typing 'adb reboot bootloader' with the usb cable attached. I did that about 3 times after failing to get the device to show in loop. After that it went pretty smoothly.

So now I did the rooting, but since this is my first Android phone, not sure what to do with it. Is there a how-to somewhere for installing custom ROM's?
[HTC Aria Android Development] xdafly:
did you install HTC Sync *and* the SDK USB drivers ?
[HTC Aria Android Development] magicbyrdman:
help

when you do the reboot bootloader when do you unplug the usb cable?

i tried imediatly and i tried reboot bootloader option with it unplugged and i cant get back. im using win 7 and i at one point i had 2 different cards show up but when i went to issue the command it said access denied or no permissions something like that i wish i could get back to at least that point so i could clarify the error msg.

i have 3 cards 2 2g and 1 4g all same brand the 4g i never got to show up but both 2g did but didnt copy, ive tried different formats and i keep getting offline or i just dont see anything.

just for an understanding i need to format to FAT32 right i did use a card reader and then i tried a usb card reader both are not working but it may just be me not removing the usb cable in time or to early when doing reboot bootloader command on htc logo.
[HTC Aria Android Development] magicbyrdman:
Permission denied

sorry for the double post but right after i posted that i figured i would wait longer between hitting power button on the recovery option and waited a good 3 seconds before plugging in usb and now it shows in devices but this is the error i get when trying to copy

failed to copy 'ota.zip' to '/sdcard/update.zip': Permission denied

Ok i skipped step 8 to try to run update before pushing it

all good now btw the way i came up with the 3 seconds wait is that when i would hit recovery my usb connected sound would immediatly ding and be followed by the disconnected ding, so i was trying to time it to where usb would do the connected ding right when it would change from htc logo to triangle screen if anyone else had as mutch trouble finding the timing on the usb plugging in.

Since it seems like the Linux method is more reliable and a bit easier I was wondering which live cd might be preferred for the process, if any? Preferable, one that has already succeeded in rooting an Aria?
[HTC Aria Android Development] kkeo:
This is my first Android phone and rooting was cake, it took me all of about 10 mins to do. I formatted the stock 2gb sd card running the Aria in disk mode, so that didn't seem like an issue for me.

I would recommend rooting on a Mac or Linux box since it was easier/faster because you don't need to install HTC Sync for the drivers. I initially tried it on my Win XP machine and it wasn't loading the drivers for the device (since I was lazy and didn't read the part about installing HTC Sync) so I just switched over to my Mac. It took me about 2 tries to get to the recovery screen.

One thing that sort of confused me was running the adb push commands... it doesn't tell you if you successfully run the push, just give you size and time information. Since this was my first ever root, it's hard to tell if it worked or not.

Great job guys!
[HTC Aria Android Development] smellfish:
Having trouble finding device in recovery mode. Using Windows 7 x64 with no access to MAC or LINUX. Phone recognized under device list in Android but not in recovery. Formatted both a 2GB Scandisk and Kingston card with Quickformat and FAT32. Have tried both leaving the phone plugged in and the timing methods of connecting during recovery mode start-up. No luck pushing commands in HBOOT either. Android 1.0 USB driver not found message appears.

Any/all help would be appreciated.

Rooting may not work with Windows 7

I can't speak for anyone else, but I tried the "New Clarified" method of rooting my Aria on my PC which runs Windows 7. I tried multiple times and multiple ways and it just wouldn't take.

So I dug up an old (and very slow) laptop that runs XP and, guess what, my Aria rooted the first time.

Boy, did I waste hours trying with Windows 7!

Has anyone else had problems (or been successful) rooting with Windows 7?

Just as it states... I want to know if I can mod the PRI/PRL to operate on Verizon network.... where would I look? Can any one shed some light ?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Not sure exactly what you are asking.

If you are looking to put the phone on to Verizon's network with a Verizon contract/phone number - There are ways but Verizon won't help you and people on this board cannot post the information. It is illegal to.

If you are just looking to keep your sprint contract and roam off the Verizon towers there is an AllTel PRL roaming around here somewhere you can load. But some people have reported Roaming Data being applied to their account - so be ware even though you can use data while roaming without a charge. Sprint has been known to cancel contracts for too much roaming. ;)

Ok... If your wimax isn't working and you want to downgrade to try to get it working this is how to do it...

1st get all of the files like you want to do Toast's Part-2. link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701835

Then do this part:

STEP 2~FLASHING MTD PARTITION TO ENABLE DOWNGRADE:

- download all files posted above

- unzip the flash_image.zip and the mtd-eng.zip

- put the flash_image and mtd-eng.img on the root of your sdcard

- go into shell on ur pc and do:

adb shell

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

- this should only take a second or two

- now put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard

- power off the phone

STEP 3~FLASHING ENG BUILD:

- hold volume down + power to boot into hboot

- it should now find and verify the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard. itll show a blue status bar on the top right of the screen.

- after a minute or so it will ask u if u wanna flash SAY YES

- affter it flashes the PC36IMG.zip it will ask if you wanna reboot. SAY YES

After if finally boots you should see HTC quietly brilliant which hangs forever but it should eventually get past it. Once it does you will have the oldest everything. This is a beta build and has a bunch of tools but just do an upgrade to root like you normally would. I would suggest going to .6 then upgrading to the latest 47 from there.

Hope that this helps someone.

P.S. is anyone willing to dump all of the tools that are included in this rom. It might be helpful for the other devs.
