[GUIDE] Disabling system/bloatware apps using temp root

Disable HTC Sense?

I think that the stock ROM is pretty good, however I personally dislike HTC Sense. I would rather go with a minimalist interface like Hyperdroid's Gingerbread ROM for the HD2 (my last phone ).

Does anyone know how to turn Sense off? Or get rid of it altogether?

laucher pro plus use it as your default launcher then go to application settings and stop sense now when you unlock your phone it goes straight to launcher pro plus but i think you need to install widget locker also to stop sense lockscreen

[EddyOS]

Ask in the Evo 3D forum

 

[silentsnow31802]

Just wanted to add something to this...

Im not sure what app I disabled but I noticed that bug where when you go to uninstall a program and the sizes go crazy and you have to back out to uninstall something seems to have disappeared.

PS: I know I suck at explaining things but if you have the bug im sure youll know what im talking about.

 

[EddyOS]

I know what you're on about, had it happen to me too

Ask in the Evo 3D forum

A lot of the Evo guys are here now because one of their mods attempted to commit sepiku by being a total ass ( ironically about the same issue I just quoted from you ) .

We have the same mirror app on ours, if you know the name please help the poor guy out.

Hell if it wasn't for an E3d owner we wouldn't even be typing in this topic at all.

The phones have many similarities, by using both the sensation and e3d communities thing will be discovered and fixed much quicker. The flow of information is much more important than the rules of XDA IMHO.

 

[EddyOS]

Ah, wasn't aware! Then welcome Evo 3D owners!!

Exactly.

It was a sad thing to see over in the e3d dev section, it's been about 24 hours or so and that poor mod still hasn't logged back in and made a reply yet. The users and Devs were both hammering him pretty hard. I guess that'll teach him not to step on his **** like that.

This is not something that you or anyone did. I witnessed that behavior on bone stock Sensation many times.

After disabeling some Vodafone stuff, my app drawer is not drawing each pages line right, and is very unsmooth and buggy. Starting a program (tapping icon) works the first time, the second time I can only scroll.

Also my instant button widget is no longer making sound.

Anyone know what causes this bug? And, an idea to start a program again?

Thank!

 

[fiendskillz]

Thanks for this! After I disabled all the stuff and some setting changes I managed to only somehow drain 10%-15% with some music browsing texting and some games done within 5hrs in..very nice indeed

So...

Does anyone know if it is safe to disable HTC Sense if we are using only Launcher Pro?

com.htc.launcher
com.htc.cs

I know it uses a lot of background memory.

Hmmm looked through all the packages and didn't see anything that stood out as the Mirror app. Doesn't show up in system info. Maybe someone more learned than me can pick it out. I don't plan on disableing it but I'm really curious now. There were a couple of packages that were com.htc.[insert 3 random letters] that I didn't know what they are. Maybe it's one of them.

To get the app-drawer right, re-enable

package:com.htc.laputa.trip.TripWidget

Removing that one made the appdrawer buggy.
