NoClutterSense. Sense - without the clutter!

This ROM removes nearly every HTC stock app and replaces them with their AOSP counterparts. It also removes every HTC widget except the clocks, as I understand and think these are the best part of Sense. I have also not removed the Sense lockscreen, as the general feedback on that has been overall good.

This ROM is quite literally blazing fast.

There are more than 100 apps removed altogether, so I'm not listing them here. But I will list what has been replaced.

HTC | AOSP
People | Contacts
Mail | Mail
Phone | Phone
Browser | Browser
Music | Music
Settings | Settings
Gallery | Gallery
Calendar | Calendar
Calculator | Calculator

HTC apps that have been kept
Camera
Clock
Flashlight
Mirror
Wi-fi hotspot
Task Manager
HTC Sense 3.0 lockscreen
HTC Sense Launcher (Rosie)
HTC clock widgets
Required dependencies needed by Sense 3.0​

Download! There are some bugs, listed here:

  • Messaging app crashes on startup, but does send message. Download GO SMS to work around this for now.
  • The Setup Wizard does not work correctly. It defaults to UK English, but of course you can change that in Language and Settings, which does work.
  • You cannot get into Wireless and Networks, but both mobile data and WiFi do work correctly. Download WiFi Manager from the Market and connect to WiFi.
  • I have not removed HTC Dialer, but the AOSP phone application is there and if you press Phone shortcut in the dock, select Phone AOSP and select it by default.
  • Calendar application does not work. Right now, I have no idea why.
  • Viewing Application settings in Manage Applications crashes the Settings app. I currently have no fix/work around for this.

Screenshots coming soon!

Can't wait for this...I like the idea of sense without the widgets...but would it be possible for us to add any of the stock apps back...I like the sense calendar better than the stock one.

Guys, this will be released today, probably with the bugs. Then I can let other users/devs fix them if they'd like :)

About removing the Sense launcher; then it would be nearly AOSP. I wanted to create a ROM where it was AOSP and Sense, but Sense was complete barebones.

I'm going to add options to reinstall the Sense apk's as well ;)

Had a slight scare there, for some reason framework-res.apk wouldn't zipalign :( turns it out it was corrupted. Dunno how that happened. All fixed now though :)

Trying to get the ROM to boot with the stock kernel. For some reason it hangs on the splashscreen.

S'all good - ROM is booting with stock kernel :) Some way down the line (read: end of August) I'll be replacing this stock kernel with a proper, custom kernel, with overclock, underclock etc. But I'm still learning this, so please, bear with me :)

This rom sounds quite promising, I'm gonna give it a try when its released. Will there be an option to remove Sense altogether? Please say yes :3

I'm trying, I'm trying. Mike's said he'd rather I didn't use his ROM as base - and I can see why he says that - but he's helping me create my own ROM.

Meanwhile, I may release a version based on Mike's ROM (temporarily) so I can get the ROM fixed up and ready for official release on my own base.

Anyway, stay close to my Twitter for all the latest news!
