Default [ROM] 11/20 - Gutted Hero 1.5 *Add ons can now be flashed*

Update!!! Add on zip files can now be flashed through recovery to install!
Update!!! Gutted Hero 1.5 Available with the MR Update!
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!
Ok. There are many changes in this rom. Some may or may not like the changes. I was thinking that I should really live up to the name "Gutted" so I completely removed anything and everything I possibly could. The change log is going to be in the next post.

Also, as stated above this update includes the MR so any issues that were resolved with the update are resolved in this rom.

Now I removed the clock widget in this release but you can easily add it back and the issue with the location and weather not showing should be fixed. Usually it takes a minute or two to find location once pushed but if it doesnt work also push HTCNew.apk and odex and it should work fine.

Oh and before I forget make sure you remember to go into the settings and do a few things. First go to Settings->Data Sunchronization->Google and set up your Google account. Also you may go to Location to set up your GPS and Display to set up the animations.

Finally, I would like to thank MoDaCo for porting the first custom rom ever to the CDMA Hero and making us all very happy people, Amon_RA for his awesome recovery image, Mlign from the Dream community for guidance and pieces of his rom and everyone here at the XDA Communities for being awesome and never giving up.

Default Changelog

[Gutted Hero 1.5]
Optimized multiple applications as well as Rosie (also reoptimized Rosie since we have the MR update included) such as the Browser, HTC Albums, Phone and Settings
Optimized additional jpegs and pngs that were located various places in the rom
Added Hosts file to block ads for faster web browsing
Added Sprint Visual Voicemail back into the mix
Removed EVERYTHING. Every single HTC widget is now gone, including the clock widget (Look in above post for more)

Optimized apps including Rosie.apk (Rosie was 8MB now it's 1.2MB!)
Optimized htc.com.framework.apk and framework-res.apk files
MoDaCo's great and stable 1.1 rom base
Animations from Moto Blur (I think. They are the zooming fading transitions in Mlign's Dream Hero rom)

I'm pretty sure the clock is crashing because you removed the weather. They had seemed to be closely tied when I looked at the original sense ui.

No. I removed Weather many times before and the clock functioned perfectly. At work now so I will have to try and fix it tonight.

Mind if I ask how you did this? I'm curious if I can just do that on my phone.

Yeah it's easy really. If you want you can take it from my rom and just replace it. The way I did it though is by opening up /system/app/Rosie.apk in an archive manager of some sort (7zip would work). Then I pulled all the pngs out of it and optimized them with optipng. Then I just dragged them back into the apk and your done. There are also jpegs somewhere in there so I deleted all of them except for the first one and with that one I just resaved it and compressed it a bit. You can look in my Rosie.apk if it helps or like I said, your free to just use that one if you want. Just note if you take my framework-res.apk, that is where the anims are stored so you will want to replace my anims folder with MoDaCo's unless you like the new ones.

That is definitely why it crashes when you click on it. If you push worldclock.apk and worldclock.odex it will be fixed but I figured thats a bug we could live with

The rosie linked here is a scant 732 kilobytes:

I had been toying with installing it for awhile, then I downloaded the dxTop home replacement and I don't think I will be using rosie ever again .

EDIT: Great rom idea btw. I would love to see a real "gutted" Hero rom, including the removal of Rosie. MoDaCo has previously posted a neat little script to accomplish this:

I suppose. But some people use their clock as an alarm.
