[ROM]6/19/12 freEVO 3D 2.41 (BatterySaver/SomeSense/Speed/CoreDuo/Hybrid[De]Odex)

[freeza]

Hi guys!

This is a placeholder for my debut into the Android ROM cooking world. If you've owned a Sprint Touch Pro2 and are familiar with my Bare Naked ROM series, then this is no different. I'm stripping as much away as I can, while still maintaining a functioning ROM.

ROM information:
Android Gingerbread 2.3.4
HTC Software 2.17.651.5
Rosie/HTC Launcher Removed
Sense Widgets Removed
Bloat Removed
Launcher Pro is the default launcher
Includes HTC Weather App and HTC Facebook integration.

Hybrid [De]Odexed
ZipAligned
Personalize menu removed
Browser debugging menu enabled
Browser tabs increased
Camera mod (panorama/hdr)
HTC Music mod (dolby)
MMS mod (secure box/backup/uncompressed mms)
4-in-1 Reboot menu
Unlocked HotSpot
Flashlight app included
Sprint Visual Voicemail Removed (App is below in "Apps & Add-ons")
AOSP Clock included
Other stuff I can't remember
Dalvik-VM set to 48MB
WiFi Scanning set to 180
HTC Software update server Removed
AOSP lock scren with a cool feature!
Most frequently updated Google apps have been removed. (since you can get them from the market)
--Maps,GMail,ETC
Busybox 1.19
Bash 4.1
Random scripts...

I've removed as much Sense as possible, BUT there is always room for improvement. I'm constantly discovering random apps that can be removed and plan to either update with patches to do so, or just post back with my findings.

Thanks (in no particular order. who says that?):

If I forgot you, or you would like to be included in the thanks list just because, shoot me a PM.

Big thanks to testers:

To do:
-Rearrange or just plain remove homescreen icons on first boot
-Probably more, I forgot.

Known Issues:
-With Sense lockscreen removed, you are unable to answer calls until you unlock the screen. Your phone rings, but you don't see who's calling until you unlock. Prevents accidental dials. Kind of neat for privacy buffs.

freEVO 3D 2.4 Hybrid [De]Odex information. Please read.

2.4 marks a small shift in development.  I'm now starting to include mods from other people/phones as an experiment to see if I can still maintain a stable ROM.

2.4 is different in that it utilizes my Hybrid [De]Odex method which combines the performance of an odexed ROM with the customization of a deodexed ROM.  Current themes or flashable items are possible and can be compatible, provided that you understand a few things first:
-If you do decide to flash a theme, or another mod, keep in mind that by doing so, you:
--Must delete any .odex files to the apk/jar file that the mod you're flashing includes. For example if you are flashing LeeDroid Tweaks, you'd have to know which files it is installing by examining the zip first and then go through and remove the .odex files from your current system or it won't take effect.
--By doing this, you are slightly losing odex for every deodexed file you add.
-You'll also risk losing the modifications I've made to the frameworks to remove and disable logging/checkin services, and more. Remember, flashing any mod that wasn't ported over, or made by your ROM chef, may contain files that don't have their particular mods in them and will be overwriting their custom ROM version with a generic stock or differently modified file.  That's why LeeDroid tweaks and beats by smokin1337 are slightly incompatible. They both include the same files, but modified differently. It's either working LeeDroid tweaks, or beats mod with some LeeDroid tweaks features not working.

It may sound difficult at first, but it's quite easy once you do it the first time and understand. On to the changes: It includes all of 2.3-2.3d fixes and was originally supposed to be 2.3e. However, the hybrid [de]odexed system warranted a increment increase :).

Sweet, but be ready that a mod might place this at a hault until you have the official ROM up.

Appreciate my help? Thank me

At any rate, it should be available for beta testing soon

Can't wait!

I was using Titanium to strip my phone ... I love the weather wallpaper on my lockscreen so I was tip-toeing around sense. Unfortunately I hit something that took the weather and the circle off of the lock. I was left with white boxes floating around and a white box where the circle went. I started trying to put stuff back, but then things locked up.

I'm a sad panda right now.

Plus, I remember your stuff from the touch pro 2! Yea!

Did you nand back up?

Of course I didn't. I'm an optimist. LOL. I also never learn a lesson. Luckily, I love setting my phone up over and over. My husband hates it -- but it's my favorite. I've borked my phone so many times.

I just flashed viperboy's ROM that was cleaned up by Tilde88. I didn't wipe the data and it still booted fine and all is fixed.

Thanks for pointing out my dumb, though! LOL j/k!

I don't Nand back up either.. Throughout the whole year I had my og Evo, I nand backed up once. I never went back to it either lol. Like you, I love setting up my phone with every restore or install. I've gotten pretty fast it too!

Same with the white square and stuff, BUT I'm sure I have that figured out

 

[empiire]

Hmm well if this doesn't have Sense then what will it have? Is this supposed to be an AOSP rom? Haha this is confusing me! But I like the half a gig of RAM free though... I have about 400 megs on my rom I'm running atm.

Basically it is what is referred to as a "senseless" rom, or a "nonsense" rom. It will have the sense launcher (rosie) stripped, and pretty much every other aspect of sense, as the OP described. It will still be based off sense, so some things will be the same, but it will be running a different launcher, such as LP or ADW or Go Launcher or something. It should be a bit quicker with the extra RAM and lack of Rosie.

I thought for sure it had something to do with the HTC Sense Live Wallpaper. When I tried to re-install it with Titanium, it would just hand and never get installed.

I love a senseless ROM, but I sure do love that lockscreen ... just sayin'

 

[Biofall]

I started out on the TP, then the TP2, and I certainly remember you from ppcgeeks. Looking forward to trying it out, man.

I already hit my thanks limit for today but I wanted to tell you thanks anyways! I see you around here all the time and you always know what's up. That explanation made perfect sense and now I feel like an idiot for not even thinking about that.

 

[LiquidSolstice]

This should be interesting.

As it stands now, there are too many dependencies on Rosie and stuff I want to remove to succesfully be able to switch lockscreens, or even use the default lockscreen, SO what I will have to do is use the default gingerbread lockscreen. However, I will include flashable packages for those who want the core functionality of being able to change your lockscreen.

You definitely need Rosie installed as well as every single idlescreen apk (stock,weather,photo,base,shortcut) etc etc. It's a good 30+MB worth of garbage just to be able to change something as simple as that. I assume most will be fine with gingerbread's lockscreen and/or use a third-party app anyway.

Thanks, I try to help when I can. It's all I can do to give back to the community, because I don't know how to develop. And there's no need to feel like an idiot, we all learn!

 

[fowenati]

cant wait for this, once you finish the rom i'd be happy to test and check for bugs and such as well as take some screenies!

 

[bwcorvus]

This is a run I can actually use..let me know if you need help with what is crap
