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
That's a good point. I've only used one setting in Rom control...
Uninstalled it
and it kept the custom label

I am using Joel redefined ics and not being able to send mms. Anyone else having problems with mms?

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 =\
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.

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.

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.
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".
Updated script no long removes apk's, but now backs them up. The script has the ability to restore all HTC sense and google/verizon extras. If you're missing something from HTC that you want you can move the file from /system/app/bkup to /system/app using a root explorer app or adb shell command (let me know if you need help doing this).
Using CR 2.3 as a base, the "ICS Notifications and settings" crashes repeatedly. It's the SystemUI.apk that's jacked and I'm trying to find out where. I just know that my "full o' bloat" systemui is twice as big as the ICS systemui included in this package. Anyone had any luck on a fix? If not, I'm looking for it myself.
Edit...looks like the wallpaper service..??

That's weird... what rom are you using? And more importantly, have you ran any of the de-sense options (1 or 2)? If you haven't you will most likely be getting errors, as the rosie.apk is expecting the regular HTC SystemUI.apk to be there, while other launchers shouldn't care.
Edit: just saw you're using Clean rom, disregard first question...
I'm running the launcher2 included in one of the earlier versions of this tool. The new settings APK works just fine. Is SystemUI from a 4.0.1 ROM or a 4.0.3 ROM? CR2.3 is based on 4.0.1. So that could be a problem.
ah ok, there's our problem. the new systemui I guess is only working for 4.0.3 roms. I have attached a previous version for 4.0.1 to this post. let me know if you try it and it works.
That got it. It crashed once then ran. Now I guess I just have to dump all my icons back in there. Thanks!
Gps
Anybody else have an issue after removing htc sense with this utility that gps locks take much longer? Also it seems sometimes gps doesn't even come on right away as the icon does not show in the status bar. Any fox for this?
update - the issue seems to be that the gps doesn't turn on automatically because I open an app that uses gps like maps or gpstest it doesn't lock, when I toggle gps from quick settings the gps symbol in status bar shows up and it locks gps position immediately

30"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
Change Log:
v7 -Changed ICS launcher to nova launcher
-Changed settings.apk to a stable one tweaked by romanbb
-Added "flash boot.img" option (use caution)
v7_1 - No longer deleting files, making a backup instead.
- No longer removing htc video (apk)
- Made flashing a boot.img even easier and fail proof
- No longer installing swype/wifi on system (applications were not opening on some roms also gives u ability to uninstall them)
v8 - Updated with new options
- No longer removing htc video (for real this time)
v8_1 - Made instructions clearer for new 4.0.3 builds
- correctly mounting system for option 8
v9 - Removing more extra apps that might be on your phone
- Added TiBu, ES File Explorer
- Updated wifi tether, nova launcher
- removed go launcher, mms, and contacts apks because of confusion (use v8.1) if you want those apks
Troubleshooting/Known Issues:
Wifi tether isn't working
- Open the app go to
settings > change device profile > "Samsung Galaxy Nesus (CDMA/LTE)"
settings > change setup method > "Netd (master)"
settings > check "Routing Fix"
I get error messages after removing HTC extras, Verizon/Google exras, etc
- Reboot your phone!!!
HTC Lockscreen no longer has shortcuts

*Need to unlock phone to answer calls

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.21
You can use any option except the ones that are ICS only. i.e. the status bar/settings option (8).
I'm not familiar w/ java/android programming, I have only just started by creating adb batch files. I will not be able to fix the ICS mms.apk. If someone has an apk for 4.0.3.1 then I will add it to the script.
