*****Omegasuns App and Sense Removal Script*****
Version 2 now compliant with new Recoveries​
This script was created to make removing bloatware, sense, HTC widgets and many of the safe apps from your EVO easy. I personally run pretty bare bone version of the roms I use. I remove Sense and most of the excess apps that i replace or dont use.Because this was so time consuming to do manually with how much i flash i started working on a script that allowed me to do this quickly.
I have followed many different threads listing what people have found is ok and what people have found is not ok to remove.
Please remember that this script removes the apps that I personally dont use or need. While some of the apps may not be considered bloatware y some I typically run a pretty bare system. Please see post 2 for instructions on how to modify this version of the script so that you can adjust it for your needs.
To Use:
1. Flash your new rom (you can use with your existing skip to step 3)
2. Boot up the phone fully
3. Install your launcher replacement and set it as default.
4. go into Friend stream and turn off auto-sync for Facebook(leaving contacts is ok)
5. reboot into recovery
6. Nand back up
7. flash the attached .zip
8. reboot
This will completly remove sense and the HTC apps/lockscreen as well as all peer networking and sprint apps except navigation, VVM, and promotion. It will also remove various other apps that have been found that when removed do not cause stability or other outstanding issues.
This script has been tested on Evio, Fresh, Damage Control, Koni's Elite, Myns, MikFroyo,and Virus Roms on several EVOs with out problems. I am not responsibility for boot loops, data loss, or damage done to your phone. PLEASE REMEMBER TO NAND BACKUP
Regaw_Leinad Has graciously created an app to allow you to edit this script and resign it easily. If you want to change anything in the script i highly suggest downloading it and using it to do so
you can get it
HERE
All you do is drag and drop the zip of choice (1 or the other of the 2 zips attached to the OP) on top of this program's icon, it will open the script for editing. Can be run from anywhere on the computer.
Steps for using RegawMOD Script Editor v1.0 Omegasun:
1. Drag and Drop zip on top of this programs icon
2. Edit Script when it pops up
3. Save Script, then close Notepad
4. Go back to program window, select YES to go on
5. The original zip is now updated with all of your changes and still signed!
NOTE: This will currently NOT work for the old attachment O_A_S_R_W_mail&browser_1.0.zip, because the zip can NOT contain the "&" symbol in the zips name.
If you downloaded the version with & in the name either change the name or redownload the corrected file.
A huge thanks to him for making this!

thanks for replying back to my in my Q and A thread. I modified your script a bit but I have a question. Why is there a delete for SYSTEM and DATA? Also, is it safe to remove livewallpaper picker? and what about weather?
I've been doing this manually on many of the roms that I use so this is great. It would be even greater if the script was modified, if possible, to place everything that has been removed in a folder on your sd card. This way if you do want something back on your system, you can easily reinstall it.
Ima try it out on mah Fresh 3.2 later
just a quick suggestion.
you are removing KEY apps so Please post alternative applications that people should download PRIOR to running your script.
such as.... dolphin hd to replace the browser.... handcent to replace messaging.. etcetc
you know as well as i do these kids around here are going flash this without reading a damn word and completely fvck their phones up.
offer your personally used replacement apps please.

why google voice? it doesnt work, in fact its some of the worse voice detection i have ever seen.
just curious, not bashing.
it works for me. I have multiple numbers using only one phone. I separate my personal contacts and business contacts with different numbers and google voice does exactly that.

Weather should be safe to remove and live wallpaper picker as well (if you do not want to use live wallpapers)
Some of the apps i have removed are not in the system folder usually because a rom moves it to make it manually uninstallable. Since that happens i placed the ones i have run into in data in as well so i dont have to go back and uninstall them manually if they are moved. thats why there is a data and a system delete.

I will update to add some suggestions. I kind of see it as if people choose not to read the directions (which i do say to install replacements) and they mess up their phones its there own faults. Also the worst case scenario is they figure out that it removed there mail app or what not and can later download a mail replacement (or nand restore) so it wont mess anything up too the point they cant fix it if they forget a step (the exception is if you don't install a home replacement you will get a boot loop). I am also going to work on a couple other versions of the script so that people who would like to keep the stock browser/mail or sense etc can still have a version that isnt quiet as drastic as the first one. thank you for the suggestions.

I originally was going to take this approach but since i never reinstalled any of them myself (and most of the ones i might are available on market or have a suitable replacement for me on market) so i Haven't reworked the script for it yet. If people prefer having them all stored on the SD card for reinstall i will work on this.
If there are things in the script you know that you want to keep. you can modify the script (again i take no responsibility if you mess up your phone or the script by modifying it.)by deleting the lines for the apps you would like to keep then replacing it in the .zip. if you do modify it you will just need to make sure you flash it with Clockwork as it wont be signed.
During this week i will try to get out a version that keep sense a version that keeps stock browser/mail and peer networking for those that you want them.
thanks again for all the feedback.

Hell yeah! Been running CM6 Final for 2 or 3 days now and already getting an itch. I'm thinking I might go back to Fresh 3.2 then use this script - then another 3 days will pass and I'll probably go back to the nightlies

how did you modify your script? i would like to do the same thing flash it but leave stock browser and my email app, as well as sprint zone
is there any way to install the stock android browser. Does someone have a apk. Thanks
which ivan is this? i could help you update the script to your needs. let me know which apps you would like to keep.

Normally they are just under data/app. unless you move them from the phone to the SD card they are stored in phone memory.

I uploaded a version keeping the browser and mail apps. (if you have already removed them this will not restore them. To modify this script i suggest you unzip it then navigate to META-INF>com>google>android>update-script.
open the file in wordpad or notepad and remove the lines of the applications you do not want removed and make sure to save it with out an extension (default saves it as .txt this will not work). once you have done that open the original .zip in your zip program(i use winrar) navigate to the same place and drag and drop the modified script on top of the old (do not change its name). this should now be modified with the lines removed. Sine this wont be signed flash via clockwork.
To those who flash roms all the time, I've noticed that sometimes when I do a full Titanium restore after a fresh ROM flash, sometimes Titanium Backup will restore Launcher Pro where it doesn't go "Error loading Widget" for every widget. Instead sometimes I get a full proper restore.
This is clearly an issue for those of us that customize so much that we have overlapping stretching widgets that we need to play widget tetris.
How can I get Titanium backup to do this? I haven't investigated enough but it's clearly a set of events that I've done to get it to work SOMETIMES....
So far I've noticed that this has happened with Nandroid backups for "ROMs" on the Milestone. Those Nandroid backups are essentially bare bone OS installations with customized stuff (since we have a locked bootloader still, so updates are harder). I usually do a Ti backup full restore and sometimes the widgets of my Launcher Pro restore perfectly.
It is android not letting you restore widgets. It just doesn't work. not TiBu or LP or any other home screen replacement.
Get Gingerbread and maybe that will fix your problem.

The problem is it does it once in a while. I know it's not supposed to work becase only the official Launcher Pro widgets will be restored. You are supposed to have to add back your own widgets, but once in a while a titanium backup restore upon flashing a new rom gives me my original homescreen where I don't have to manually re-add any widgets.
I think you're on something because it doesn't.. only reason LP widgets work is because you're using it's own widgets and the launcher can load it because it's its own propriety. I think the only way you can have widgets restored to state is through a nandroid restore.. and even that i'm not too sure.
It's a security thing, Android doesn't let any program, aside from the official Widget Picker, add a new Widget. So when you restore, the Launcher tries to add the Widget, Android checks to see if that program is authorized for that widget. If it is, it adds it. If not you get the error or empty space.
If you restore the data without uninstalling Launcher Pro or resetting your phone, I imagine Android still has the widget authorized so no permission error occurs.

It has done it.
You are right that a Nandroid restore will restore everything because a Nandroid is essentially like an HD image. But I can assure you what I'm talking about was a Titanium Backup incident. My problem is that I've seen it a few times, but I haven't investigated it enough to reproduce it or to see how to get it. Perhaps someone here has also seen it before, but shrugged it off.
I'm a Milestone User and when we still had Eclair mods like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765346
The modder replaced the default launcher.apk with LauncherPro. So what happens is he uses Nandroid to make a Nandroid image of his "ROM." Yes. Locked bootloader FTL. So we use Nandroid images. Essentially it's still a bare bones version of a ROM.
Well, I have all my apps backed up on Titanium Backup before I install this because its like a full wipe. I then restore all my apps.
Now I've only used like 8 versions of his ROM compared to like 2-3 of other ROMs, so perhaps its the fact that when installing his ROM, he already HAS LauncherPro as the default system launcher. Thus when I'm restoring my Titanium Backup, when it reads my Launcher Pro settings and puts it in the system app, it has no problem accessing widgets.
I do remember it failing once in a while too, but there have been AT LEAST 3-4 times where I did NOT have to restore any of my own widgets.
Once again I highly suspect this has something to do with having LauncherPro integrated in the Nandroid backup, even if it doesn't have any of my widgets.
I'm asking this because I'm using CM6 now and it uses the update.zip method and obviously I can't trigger the LauncherPro thing anymore. I don't know how it worked before, as it seems to be a bug. I completely understand that Launcher Pro is not supposed to allow restoring of non LP widgets. How it's done it before, I do not know.

This too has happened with me as well and not only with TB but also Mybackup root as well, TB has option like applications widgets and MBR says android home, I flash alot and I say 10% of my restores this happens with (working) I tried every ordering i can think of to reproduce it but never can seems completely random. I wish someone could figure this out because it does work just not sure how to always reproduce it.
He is not on anything... This has happened to me also.
Like he said every once and a while after installing a new rom and doing a titanium restore everything goes back to normal widgets and all.
This would be very helpful for me because I don't use icons at all. I strictly use custom Icon and desktop visualizer. So this would be huge to figure out the work around to make it work every time
Stupid question..
Have you tried restoring everything BUT LP with Titanium, let it finish, then restore LP with Titanium?
i reinstall new rom > wait 15 > reboot.
restore backups via titanium > reboot.
at this stage, my widgets don't display. i'll usually open market to login, open talk, maps. whatever else requires logins or permissions and reboot.
most of the time, after this last reboot my widgets appear, but this time they didn't. after restoring tons of stuff again and rebooting, no change.
this time i opened google finance (which i have a widget for and requires login). i allowed it's permissions and rebooted. my widgets appeared.
in this one case, i believe i had to open each application i have a widget for to make sure they were all logged in, then reboot.
i hate having to restore my widgets each time. i'd love to figure out the secret to restoring them consistently.
I can get Titanium to restore all my widgets every time. I use TB to backup "Application Widgets" before flashing a new ROM.
Obviously once I restore all my apps with Titanium Backup my Widgets all show up with the error. But if I restore "Application Widgets" again and immediately restart my phone using a quick reboot app (I use Hot Reboot) the widgets all load fine.
I'll usually do a full restore of all my apps. Put a Hot Reboot widget on my homescreen. Restore "Application Widgets" again. Reboot using Hot Reboot. Then when the phone is done booting all my Widgets appear correctly (minus the Hot Reboot widget I just added, it errors out).
Don't know if it'll work for everyone but it works every time for me. Saves a lot me time.
EDIT: Works perfect!

I don't find anything in Titanium Backup to select backup "Application Widgets"? How this is done? Thanx
IS this LauncherPro specific or does it work with other launchers

I don't believe it has anything to do with Launcher Pro actually. It's listed in green for me indicating that it's a "System service with useful data". I have the paid version of TB and I have no idea if that has anything to do with it.
It's available for me in batch mode and through backup/restore. It's exact name is "Application Widgets" the icon is the Titanium Backup Circle and it's listed in green with all the other Apps that start with A.
I see Application Widgets on the free version also, I haven't tried it before though...next time I switch ROM's I'll give it a shot!

The "System Service with useful data" is in the legend if you hit menu. It describes what the programs written in green indicate. Maybe try a Batch backup of all system data, and look for it in there. If you do a Batch "Backup of all system data" do you have anything in that list listed with green writing?
Edit: I guess it may depend on your root status as well. I know I'm rooted with S-Off, maybe that has something to do with it if you're not.
thank you.this trick is working perfect. i tried it with a cm7 rom in hd2
got it
Going to try this now - flashing another ROM just to see.

Sorry for digging up an old thread but I just had to say thank you for this. Really saved me a buttload of time! THANKS!
My screen is very difficult to activate items on the Launcher Pro Dock such as the App Drawer, etc. For that matter any icons near the dock in either Landscape or Portrait are difficult are require more pressure or tapping numerous times.
I have already tried TouchRecalibrate with no apparent change.
Any suggestions?
If it weren't for the app drawer I would gorgo using the dock. Anyway to get an icon to open the app drawer somewhere other on my screen rather than on the dock? That would solve my problem
Forgot to mention it is TnT Lite v3.13
First of all, why are you on TnT lite v3.13? Latest is 4.2.2, and is much improved.
Have you tried gojimi's touch recalibration .apk at this link?
If this doesn't work, you can try it the old manual way by creating a blank file named "calibration.ini" , and place it in /sdcard and /sdcard2, for good measure.
Reboot and it should be better, Do Not Touch the screen while it's rebooting. After boot, rename files to .bak or just delete them so it doesn't recalibrate every boot.
If none of it works, you could try to fix permissions in clockworkmod (simplest), or wipe user data and caches (you'll have to re-install apps), or (last resort) nvflash back to original stock ROM, re-partition sdcard 2048 and 0 ( this deletes contents of sdcard, so back up data first!!!), and start over from scratch with bekit's clockworkmod (bekit-0.8) and then latest TnT lite.
Did you forget to pluck the chicken?
You can create a folder on your desktop and drag all your apps to that folder but that may take awhile depending on the number of apps you have.
There's also an app that you can try but it looks kinda ugly to me: http://www.appbrain.com/app/everywhere-app-drawer/com.E.App.Drawer
Thanks, The calibration.ini file did not seem to make a difference. I am kinda new to this stuff. How do I upgrade to the latest TNT? I have clockwork .08?. I have titanium. Not sure what to do. Will I have to redo the market fix and everything else?
Everything is running great the way it is but for this issue. Can I get an APP DRAWER to relocate where I want it on the screen. Is there an app that can do this for me?
install smart taskbar from the market.
If you backup your apps with titanium the upgrade is pretty painless. Download the latest TnTlite. Reboot in to clockwork and clear data/cache. Flash the new TnTlite. REstore your apps with titanium
I c ame up with a fix that works for me for now. I was able to remap the Home Button to open the app drawer. And it still opens the RECENT APPS on long pressing. I am glad I can open the app drewer with ease now. I will think about upgrading to latest TNT, but hate to start over. All is running well.
I did it in the Launcher Pro settings under BEHAVIOR SETTINGS and changed the action of the Home Screen Button
Thanks all that replied. I did flash 4.2.2 and all is good now.
Galaxy Tab..
So i got these three application pre installed in the tab related to muslim religion, the Holy Quron, Qiblah and some direction app.. they were factory installed.
As much as secular as i am.. i dont like having apps in my phone that i didnt put there..
So i went about finding out a way to uninstall them.. Long story short using busybox,superuser and titanium backup i got rid of the three..
Aha i felt like i became a jedi..
till i reset
and found the menu has replaced the icons of those three apps with nothing.. It's Empty..
I tried moving the other apps onto those empty spaces but dont work..
Any ideas people?
* May the force be with you..
This is only a test to see if i get a mail when someone replies..
You can reflash firmware - that will be the best way.. After you delete those apps and you see that all work - just do nandroid backup, and if you need to do reset - just restore backup..
If you do flash stock firmware, as suggested by DemonGloom, or a factory reset (same thing) then you'll get it back to how it was. If you then use Titanium Backup to simply freeze the apps then they'll no longer show in your app drawer (app menu). That's the most effective way of hiding them.
Alternatively, you can use Launcher Pro instead of the stock launcher and you can hide apps from the menu with that as well.
Either way, just get back to stock and take it from there.
Good luck
Is there a way to save different home screen designs. Meaning if I take all day to design a homepage the way I like it then a week later I want to change to something else. Is there a way to go back and forth between the two or three different home screens etc without re configuring everything? I may use simi clock for one and minimalist text for another etc..
Also, does it hurt to have a app installed that you may not use often? Meaning if I am using minimalist text and then switch to using simi clock a month later. Does having these apps install use up any sources if they are not applied?
Thanks
Forgot to mention that I am not rooted.
Sounds like the HTC scenes feature i've seen on the personalized page. Not sure if we can make our own scenes but this seems to be the way to go.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
When you modify one of the scenes it will be saved the way you left it. I know that you can name and save scenes with some versions of sense but I don't believe that is the case with the stock inspire.
Well let me also mention I am using Launcher Pro, sorry.
The only way I can think of doing this with lp would be with multiple backups using titanium backup. This would not be ideal as widgets don't restore though. You can use multiple different launchers, such as lp and adw, switching between them, leaving your entire setup intact on each.
Launcher pro let's you backup your home screens I believe.

Yes you can back up the home screen but only one at a time. When you select restore from backup, it does not give you a selection. It appears it backups over the previous backup file every time you do a backup.
Oh well I guess it can not be done.
Launcher pro looks for the file name on your SD card that it put there.
You could do some renaming to do what you want. Back up your first home-screen set up, then find the 'launcher pro backup'(or what ever launcher pro names it) on your SD card. Rename it to whatever- say- lpbackup1. Set up your second homescreen, rename to lpbackup2. Rinse and repeat for each screen set up. When you want to restore one, rename the specific backup you want to exactly what launcher pro names it in the first place, and restore it. Kind of a pain, but it should let you do what you to do.
