[UTIL] DeSense, Cleanup, NEW MainVer fix, + more ** [v9 updated 3/8]

"So easy, a caveman can do it"

AS ALWAYS use at your own risk. Not responsible for anything that might happen to your phone.

Updated DeSense for both, ICS and GB, roms. Changes are NO LONGER permanent.

What can I use this for?:

- set your mainver to accept any of the rezound PH*.zip files while using bootloader
- change look and feel of your rom from sense to something else
- remove extra apps not needed to use your phone
- install apps you need before logging into market
- easily reboot into recovery/bootloader w/o pulling the battery
- block ads
- fix bluetooth on ICS roms


Instructions:
** Must ALREADY be rooted before running (htc Dev Unlock)**
- HTC Drivers must be installed on PC
- USB Debugging turned on for phone
- Connect via usb and charge only
- extract zip somewhere and double click DeSense_v#.bat
- Choose option in menu
Extra steps (recommended)
- Prior to de-sense, log in to all your accounts and setup the intial syncing because you may not be able to once you have de-sensed. Syncing should work after you de-sense if you do this...
Optional:
- Nandroid backup your phone in case you run into issues.

Available options:
**1** DeSense for both ICS and GB
Removes Sense UI. Must have a launcher already installed!!!

**2** Fix Bluetooth on ICS roms
Thx to JoelZ. Click here and thank/donate!

**3** Restore
Restores all of the original apk's you have removed using this util

**4** Install apps (choice menu)
Included apps are:
- wifi tether
- es file explorer
- titanium backup
- Swype
- Nova Launcher (ICS Only)

**5** Remove more HTC, Verizon & google extras
Now removes even more apps!!! If you need something back that this removed, you can use any root exploring program to move the apk from /system/bkup/ to /system/

**6** Change Mainver to universal
Will set your MainVer to "1.00.000.0". This should allow you to install any rom's boot image without getting a mainver error.
Big thanks to drellisdee. Click here to thank/donate!

**7** Remove HTC Lockscreen
Removes HTC circle lockscreen and reverts to default android (NOTE: See Troubleshooting/Issues below, before performing this option*.)

**8** Install ICS notification bar and settings (!!!do not use!!!)
do not use this option as most of (if not all) the newer roms will not be based off the 3.0.11


**9** Install ad-block hosts file
This will block ads in your browser(s) and apps. Must reboot to take effect.

**0** Reboot (choice menu)
Reboot options
- into bootloader
- into recovery
- or normal

if you open the batch file with any text editor you can see what gets disabled. If you disable an apk twice, it will not affect your phone. So no worries about re-freezing frozen stuff.

wifi tether uses root to provide the service, i cannot make any guarantees to what Verizon will or will not do. I have been using this apk for a while without issues, but I am not making any claims. This stuff is always "use at your own risk"!

The program uses your phone data connection (which is part of your data plan) to provide wifi to other devices i.e. other phones, laptops, desktops, ps3's, etc. If you have limited data plan you can go over the limit using this app.

I found the missing package is "com.htc.opensense". I'm not to sure what else this enables but I still have a de-sensed ui. I will create a batch file for easy use.

I understand my original .bat file is not working correctly... i'll update the original file when i get home later tonight. In the meantime you can use the frigid's super tool (link provided) although a lot of the features won't work for our rezounds...

If you used my original file, it was not processing all the way. You could just try to run the "re-sense" option, and that will return you to normal.

Will provide updated file soon

Mail works fine after using option 4 (even though it only says "fix gallery")

Stupid question - but if sense is gone - what UI runs? Gata read the thread more.....

It's the standard gingerbread launcher... you can install anyone you want though, like launcher pro or something
