It depends on what you want to keep. Search the forum for "Remove Sense". There's an update package that removes most of sense. There are other bits and pieces you can then manually remove depending on your needs.

Here are the packages I removed from Sense(less) ROM as I have no need for these items. I have yet to run into any issues or FCs.

DCSImpl.apk
DCSStock.apk
DCSUtility.apk
DebugTool.apk
Facebook.apk
FieldTest.apk
FieldTrial.apk
Flickr.apk
FriendStream.apk
GenieWidget.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
HTCSetupWizard.apk
HtcCarPanel.apk
HtcFacebook.apk
HtcLocationPicker.apk
HtcLocationService.apk
HtcRingtoneTrimmer.apk
HtcSettingsProvider.apk
HtcTwitter.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
Mode10Wallpapers.apk
RSS.apk
SetupWizard.apk
SocialNetworkProvider.apk
TVOUT.apk
VVM.apk
Weather.apk
WeatherAgentService.apk
WeatherProvider.apk
WeatherSyncProvider.apk

The OP, Lou lists all the packages he removed so you can use that as a starting point.

Also, check out a theme done by USAsokr. Here's the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=856594

This works well on the Sense(less) version of the ROM. There is also a Sense version of the theme. Check the archive for the update-script file. In the senseless version of the theme, the script contains all the files it deletes. Good way to build your own list of things to remove.

Hope that helps. Lou can probably provide more info to you but give the above a shot. If you start doing this, make a backup copy of all the apps before you start to remove any. If you have any issues, all you have to do is "adb push" the .apk and see if it resolves your issue.

Good luck!

Would putting the widget back in place cause Friendstream to not force close? I feel like the widget is a significant part of the Friendsteam application, and that may be why it is force closing. But I also am not a developer, so that is just a guess :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dscribe:
It won't force close if you don't select it. We don't want it. Enough of friend stream is left to do what is absolutely necessary. Just don't mess with it an all will be fine. If you really want friend stream whole and intact then maybe you might want to stay with a full sense rom.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ncwildcat:
I thought that friendstream was only good on sense, or rosie sense more specifically
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spence341:
There are other applications that can do the same thing. Tweetdeck is one, and you can have Twitter, facebook,four square and google buzz.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omgi0wn:
Like I said, I didn't really know what I am talking about. I don't use FriendStream at all, I was simply just suggesting a way for the force close to be fixed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AndrewGL:
If we use Launcherpro, will ADWlauncher be running in the background?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
I put ADW Launcher in /data/app so you can install Launcher Pro and easily go into Manage Applications and remove it :)

Awesome. Im beat. So il I have to do is rip a few apps out and call it a theme. Music to my ears poppa lou
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omgi0wn:
Downloading it right now, will probably flash it tonight!! Besides friendstream, is it running flawlessly? How fast is it compared to the normal redemptive revolution?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
I got you playa lol I'm so not ghetto haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fernando sor:
You

You know how fast a zillion miles an hour is? Well this is faster
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
Friendstream is the only bug everything else is smooth as silk. It definitely feels lighter if that makes sense no pun intended. I got a killer cold and haven't had too much energy to trouble shoot I'm sure the Friendstream force close is just a minor over sight I'll have it fixed soon.

Very appreciated, this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I used to flash roms 1-2 times a week until I found Redemption rEVOlution and have been on it for the past month, now this.. perfect! Thanks again for all your hard work!

im not sure, i dont use the animations, i was just letting the other guy know that it is available. i used it a while back and it seemed like a battery hog, so i dont need em.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] inittowinit:
version 2.1? Not seeing an update to the OP. Is this legit?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Docarut:
I downloaded and installed. The theme aesthetically is great and works well. I do not know if animations drain the battery much more than non-animationated yet. I would recommend trying this theme out.

Thanks a bunch, ecltech!

Viva is a theme for Lou's rEVOlution ROM's created by Fernando. Viva 2.1 themes the Senseless 1.0 ROM ... A very nice blue theme that works well and looks very good.

There's a thread for it in the Themes Forum that includes Fernando's blue\black theme and Cortlands Red and Orange themes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elrui:
Fernando's theme is very nice also distinction in the themes forum looks great on this rom aswell
[Droid Incredible Android Development] i5aac:
interesting note...my titanium back-up suddenly "can't find root"....apparently busybox is no longer present. i tried installing it again and i won't...this isn't the end of the world, i just found it curious.

i am running lou's latest kernal, as well...

This rom is sick! so much fun to play with...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] spence341:
Select problems in Titanium, update busybox then reboot phone and it should fix your issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MotoDj:
is there an easy way to remove the widget bar in the notification menu?

i dont use it, seems that its not "updated" correctly anyways, i was just hoping there was an easy way to remove it..

thanks

ps, i dont test for speed, but i must say lou, your #4 kernal and this rom is running really smooth, not sure about battery life yet, as i dont really have a good way to test -

just adding a bump and a thanks

ya ever notice that when theres no issues, the thread turns into a ghost town?

always a good sign...

thanks again,

Doug
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Planetaero:
Flashed this ROM and I think it is fantastic. I just have one issue. I can no longer assign custom ringtones to any of my contacts. Is this done differently with Sense removed? Am I just missing something? Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RMarkwald:
I can do that, so does it even give you the option to? I open People - select the Contact - under Information is shows the Ringtone drop down for that contact.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Planetaero:
Yes, it is there. Sorry. I'm feeling dumb today. Maybe I need some more coffee. I was looking for it on the edit screen instead of the main screen for each contact. Thanks for the thump to the melon this morning.

love the rom Lou!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
Thanks buddy glad to see you back.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Iamshakes:
Thanks Lou. First ROM of yours i've tried and i love it.

Great job.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mobilemedic20:
Great job, thank you! Phone runs great using Launcher Pro and your #4 Kernel. I switched to the Vanilla lock screen by deleting the HTClockscreen apk, and downloaded the Vanilla Clock (Which I happen to like better anyway), so i'm right where I want to be!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cuzzinz:
I love how there hasn't been an update in a half a month now and honestly i dont care!

With Lou's #4 kernel and launcher pro... i am not too sure what else he can do to make it better!!!

EDIT: I am sure he will figure something out... that or he will just wait to port 2.3 over :-D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] siteexperts:
Should setCPU work with tihs ROM? I tried to use it and it is having no effect (when I try to enable perflock, I get an error (mis. exception)

For some reason, I am getting horrendous battery life (dropped 50% in an hour and a half). Is there any way to determine what apps are syncing? I noticed that the spinning sync icon was going non-stop. I disabled auto-sync for now to see if it helps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Iamshakes:
What kernal are you using. I'd recommend Chad's 12/13 but with that you don't need to run setcpu since it has the smartass gov'.

Whenever i switch kernals i clear the battery stats in recovery as well after a full bump charge (or charge with screen off).

No battery issues at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] siteexperts:
I am using the stock kernel.

I have never flashed a custom kernel. If I do that, will I have to reinstall the ROM? Also, I assume the kernel is separate from the ROM (if I try a different ROM, I may want/need to flash a separate kernel?)

Also, does nandroid back-up the kernel or is that completely separate?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] elrui:
Heya,

Backups capture your kernel.

If you install a new ROM it will be packaged with it's own Kernel (most package stock with it, but some of the larger more popular ROMS have personalized custom kernels)

You can install a kernel independantly.

I personally use Chad's incredikernel for Sense roms.

edit: For this ROM I use the AOSP kernel based off Chad's ROM. It runs really smooth and has good battery life.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pchuk815:
Hey Lou,

I can't tell you enough of how much I love this rom. Only bug I've run into is the Power Widget in the notification bar doesn't seem to stay updated, especially when another program is controlling it (i.e. Locale turning off WiFi when I get to work). Any way to see if this can be updated in the newest edition you're working on?

And a "it would be nice if" feature would be to add a flash light widget with the power widget, like Myn did in his last rom. I was surprised how much i used it when i didn't have it anymore.

All around though, best rom/kernel combination i've ever run (using your #4). Very snappy and best battery life my DInc has ever seen.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
Thanks dude. I'm Most likely removing the power control widget from my tons in the next release it doesn't perform consistently enough for me to keep it long term. Thanks for the feedback!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pchuk815:
Well that's a bummer...hopefully someday it'll be back! I'll just go back to my extended controls widget.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mobilemedic20:
Confirming I've seen the same thing - when using Tasker, the Bluetooth and Wifi buttons on the power widget don't update when the power for either is cycled. Makes it a bit confusing to see what's turned on/off.

On that same topic, I find the artwork on the power widget to a bit unintuitive as well, i.e. it's not easy to glance at and immediately tell whether something's activated. I think it'd be nice if there was a clearer distinction between the ON and OFF states for each part.

Gotta say, my battery life has been stellar with this and #4 over the past couple days.

Pandora keeps switching songs before the one playing is over. Tried clearing cache and data, still doing it. Anybody else having this problem?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] siteexperts:
Is the sync icon supposed to spin almost continously? (I can't figure out what is causng this)?

I can actually watch the battery drain (the percentage drops about 6% in the last 5 minutes)

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Android Development] met152:
I had this exact problem a couple days ago, but a couple days before that it worked flawlessly. Not sure what happened or changed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dondadah88:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] spiritcrusher33:
me too.. haven't had a single issue..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
No, it should not. Go into settings, then Sync, and see what is actually causing the sync to run on.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rciucki:
Hey Lou,

I know that there has been some negative feedback with it recently, but others, I know myself is one of them, find this very useful as I use this every day because I need to constantly go into airplane mode on the subway. Would it be possible in your new release to provide a flashable zip for this or provide me special instruction to keep this in? I appreciate all your work you do for us!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] inittowinit:
I had this problem if my speeds were too slow (i.e. 1X instead of 3g). For some reason if the the song seems to skip when the buffer stops. That was my observation anyway.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
I've got to agree: I find it extremely useful. I don't really mind that the icons aren't always accurate: it still functions and that's all that I need.

I often turn screen rotation on and off. If I quickly want to enable it, I can do so easily from the notification widget. I also keep a widget on my home screen that allows me to do this, but the notification bar widget allows me to tweak settings while staying in whatever app I'm using. I find that to be very valuable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] caleris:
I also find it very useful.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HeyItsLou:
The issue with keeping that mod long term is that all the original.coding has to be ported with each new framework and This is a bigger task than most people realize. If it was easy every ROM dev would have released an update including the feature.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Jaynormus:
Wow is all I can say. This is my first post on the site after trolling for ages. I could not pass up the opportunity to say thanks. I have tried various other roms but this one takes the cake. Love your work Lou. Keep up the great job and you just gained another fan. Gonna add the rEVOlution redemption Sig tag. When I finally figure out where the edit field for sigs are.

Thanks again!!!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jesssiii:
Lou, you changed my mind!

I couldn't understand the attraction of ROM's. Until now. I love LauncherPro + and preferred just freezing/deleting bloat. Tried many ROM's but not impressed- again, until now. This just blows me away and now I see what all the fuss is about. Thanks so much, gladly sending coffee money.

One question: where's the bootanimation.zip file kept and what is it named? The VZW_bootanimation.zip (obviously) doesn't work anymore.

I use the mod but if you dropped it, it would not be a big deal to me personally. I'd just go back to using switchpro which I like as well. Appreciate ya bro.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] siteexperts:
Is it easy to tweak the transparency of the notifications drop-down (and if so, what do I modify)? I would like to make them just a little more opaque (the current default is too hard to read)?

Thanks

You're right rciucki, thanks! My problem was/is that my zip file is messed up and unusable now- not sure how it happened. I'm bummed cause I can't find it anywhere now. It's just the word "android" in blue, kind of shimmering. Anyone know where it can be found?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Iamshakes:
Lou's RR2.3 was published today and i imagine this will follow suite. Lou had said he would be removing the power mod from the framework.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
Now that power control plus allows you to place custom widgets in the notifications bar, I have no worries about the loss of the power mod :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] alphatectz:
Since RR 2.3 is out does that mean sense(less) will get an update soon. Or will lou will put this to rest since he tweeted that he will be making a flashable patch to removed e sense from RR2.3?

Also if Lou does give us sense(less) users an update will we be needing the new leaks evo radio?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dustinb17:
Hey Byrong I just downloaded this app based on what you said. Do you know if there is a way to prevent the power control popup every time I select something in the notification bar power control. Hopefully that makes sense.

I love the app functionality but hate having to close the popup every time I use it.

Edit: Nevermind, I see it's an annoyance everyone has in the comments.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] byrong:
I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out a way to prevent the pop-up. I agree that backing out of the pop-up is annoying. It's something that I've tolerated thus far since it gives me so much other flexibility, but I could see how it could be a dealbreaker for some people.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dustinb17:
Hopefully it's something the developer addresses in a future build if possible. It looks like it's a major complaint from many on the users.

Either way it's a great app and appears to provide the functionality of the power functions in the notification bar. So thank you for posting about it.

Hi, all!

Droid noob here :)

So, I just flashed this ROM with Lou's Kernel#6 (multitouch still does't work but it's ok, don't really need it, or do I?)

My question is, is there any way to get stock-style window transitions back?

I really hate the ones included with this ROM to a point where I had all window animations completely disabled.

And while I am at it, is there any ROM, MOD or anything out there that allows disabling volume rocker beeps? I am using the nolock app that allows turning the phone on with side buttons, but they still make that annoying sound when pressed.

Thanks,

'force close' storm

I love this ROM, but after a few days, I'll restart my phone (or power cycle), and everything (I mean everything) starts force closing. Pretty much makes the ROM unusable. So I go back to an earlier Nandroid, or re-install the ROM.

FYI these are my installation steps:

1. Boot into recovery

2. Wipe cache, data, dalvik

3. Install ROM

4. Download titanium from market

5. Restore a bunch of pretty standard apps (games, utilities, etc), WITHOUT data

Then everything works fine until the next 'force close' storm, then I have to repeat.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way of fixing this? This is not the first time I've had this problem, and in the past I have just moved on to a new ROM. However, this time I really want to stick with this one :-(

I've done a little research - next time I'll try to use gscript for fixing permissions. But still looking for suggestions.

Thx in advance.
