Here is the "Sparta-ROM" for all "Non-Sense-Lovers". I removed a lot of the HTC Sense / Rosie stuff.
Please report any bugs you may find, so that we can mark this one as stable.
I also would like to know how the battery life is compared to the sense ROMs. Should be even better..

Enjoy!!
Wow! This rom is awesome. Its got the added functionality of sense like the facebook birthdays to calendar, quick dial of contacts, locations, etc without the bloat that comes with the sense ui and the crappy sense widgets.
So far I've got a good feeling about this one. Gonna try it out for a few days and see how it goes. Thanks Pays.
HTC set-up wizard crashed for me after entering twitter account details. Apart from that ROM is working beautifully, very snappy, thanks PAYS.
EDIT: Does this rom contain the cifs.ko for mounting SAMBA shares?
Please delete this
Here are this ROM's benchmark results for Linpack and Quadrant
Edit: added results for 1.51 Ghz
Can you slip faster kernal (1.2ghz) in this so I can just flash this Rom and everything I want is there.

Hi,
Is "not locations and sync support!" meaning that I can use HTC Sync and HTC Sense synchronisation systems flawlessly with this ROM ?

Yes, works fine now.
im going to be completely honest , after running through a list of apps that i didnt find useful that had NO effect on the system, i find lots of things that i dont want on this rom
but on must criticize first to give credit where its worth...
THE ROM IS BRILLIANT!!!! just wish the Recovery exploit worked to remove those apps i sooooooooooooooo hate... weather etc. unfortunatly it leaves with a bricked phone (so remove the battery and replace it, switch it back on and voila)
yes the apps that i want to remove include launcherpro as i prefer ADW

This is just the first version, we can also make it even more lightweight. Just need some feedback which apps you would remove and if in general people want that removed, too, I will do that or try if the system will run well after removing it. Just install ADW. LauncherPro should not hurt you when you select ADW as default?
certainly pay all for a good cause,
in general stability is good however the acore.android service crashes frequently with no task manager installed etc, so maybe take a look into that
things like the widgets for weather etc, various widgets for myself have no use lol, the raw power is good for me
Does htcsense.com work with this rom?
Thanks.
Thank you very much!!!! This is what I was looking for! Pay87, you rock my DHD!
Things that could have been removed (my opinion) are all these search apps-_- I hate 'em and i have never started any of them. Also News and Weather, Peep and Learn more.
Edit: adfree keeps crashing, unsure if it is the ROM or the oc buzz kernel.

hey pay, after ripping apart your rom, just wanted to say thank you for all of the lil bits, i was able to solve the problem in the end
however can i make a suggestion that sense wallpapers remain along with standard live wallpapers as it would give it that true froyo 2.2 feel
do you still have the APK for live wallpapers etc?? as i cant install it without it crashing #
If you have a donate mail, then i might donate at some point over the next few weeks

Without oc buzz kernel (what I use) there are no crashes, so far.
Yes the search apps are not usefull but I will leave Peep. For me its the best twitter client on Android..

@pay, thanks for big effort, espcially that for beginners page.
I am using this ROM from yesterday and at this time must say that it is AWESOME! No critical issues or crashes. Battery life is good,same as stock Sense ROM, maybe little bit better.
Will be next releases more light-weight (eg. HTC Weather, HTC Music etc. etc.)
Bugs: - Gallery 3D, Messaging and Phone is English only, even if phone language is set to another (eg. Czech)
- In Gallery 3D is impossible to send picture via MMS (Messaging). No picture is added and message will be sent as regular SMS. When I add Picture directly in Messaging app, everything is correct.
Thanks and keep the good work!

Coming Soon!
A Theme/Mod bank will be listed at the bottom of this post as people start trying out the different mods and themes available and telling me which ones work. After all, what good is a deodex ROM if you can't customize the hell out of it?
Click to expand...

Well, for those of you who know me, I've decided to finally give Android ROM building a shot. It's a learning process, but I'm picking up on it pretty quickly, and I must say it's a ton of fun so far . I owe my inspiration to the likes of theimpaler747. zenulator, and of course, NFinitefx45. These guys all work hard to bring you great stuff, without their advice, I'd be nothing.
I need beta testers! I've been using this ROM for some time now but I need YOU to tell me if there's anything wrong with it . Please go easy on me, I'm still learning the ropes of this stuff. Any and all feedback is appreciated! If any of you veteran ROM devs come across this, feel free to drop me some advice
Also, I need help figuring out why this version only has 107 MB of free space. Does Deodex really take up more space like that?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Who is this ROM for?
This is for a pretty broad range of people; those who are interested in stock Sense minus the bloat. I've removed a fair amount of bloat, including all the Sprint apps and a few HTC apps/Widgets that I feel are of little value. The ROM is also fully png-optimized, as well as zipaligned. What differs this ROM from my other one is that this is Deodexed, meaning it's open for a lot of the theming mods. You do lose a bit of speed compared to the ODEX, but this ROM is still quite fast.
What is this ROM's base?
This ROM is based off of Nfinitefx45's fantastic rooted .7 DEODEX release (link). While we're on that topic, I'd like to say that all the credit for rooting/getting the base of this ROM out the door is ENTIRELY credited to Nfinite. I take no credit for the rooting process, the addition of busybox, the addition of A2SD, and anything that you see in his .7 thread. Nfinite is a genius, and he has inspired me to create this offshoot of his ROM.
So what do I gain by trying this?
You gain quite a bit of speed, and with this specific ROM, you get the ability to flash third party theme zips. Don't forget to Nandroid before doing so!

Download Link
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/345001/Android Stuff/Deodexed/LiquidSense1.1Deodexed_signed.zip
Addons - I suggest you use Android Commander to push these back in.
Removed System APKs - This contains all the removed Widgets and APKs from System/App. This does not include GMaps/QuickOffice. To use, unzip it, delete what what you don't want, and either adb push it into system/app or use Android Commander to do so. You MUST use these, not the zip from my other ROM.
Removed Data APKs (Coming Soon) - This currently includes Google Maps and Quickoffice. Both of these can be DLed from the market, and it's probably easier to do it that way, not to mention the ones on the market will always be up to date. However, if you'd prefer to save a bit of time, they are here for you. They do not need to be pushed, simply drop em on your SD card, and enable Unknown Sources temporarily and install using a file manager. HINT: If you don't want to grab a file manager or want to save some time, just copy the download URL, paste it in an email message to yourself, and open it from your phone. The phone's browser will handle the downloading of the APK, and you can just tap the apk from the list of downloads to initiate the install .
Removed Ringtones - These are all the ringtones that were removed. The reason they are not in the ROM is because they are better off on your SD card, freeing up a whole 2 MB on your system memory. What I suggest you do (to avoid having to adb push all of these) is to simply make a folder on your SD card with the following path :media\audio\ringtones\ . Put all the ringtones in there, and that way, no matter what ROM you use in the future, you'll always have the ringtones in there . If you'd prefer not to do this, you can adb push or use Android Commander to push them to system\media\audio\ringtones\.
Mods
~ Go out there and find mods! When you try them, let me know whether or not they work. They will be listed here, with full credit to the author for creating the mod, and credit to you for testing it
Liquid's Tips!
~ On first startup, sign into your Google account but don't do Facebook sync. Wait till you boot into the ROM, and connect to a wifi hotspot (if you have one). Once the sync icon goes away, and your google account has finished syncing, then get started with Facebook sync. Remember, Facebook sync, at least for the Contacts syncing, happens in tiers. It'll do, for instance, A-E first, wait a bit, and then it will do F-P, etc etc. Have some patience .
~ Battery! As much as always on sync is, there are a couple things you can do to lengthen your battery life. For instance, for Google, I always leave Gmail sync on. But ask yourself, how often are you adding/removing Contacts from your Google account? I don't do that too often, so uncheck contacts. Also, unless I have major changes to be made to my Google Calender, I also leave GCal syncing off as well. Once it finishes its first-time sync, all your events are there anyway. Next up, Facebook! The big deal for me for Facebook is that I run it once and my Contact images sync together. I'm not a big user of the Live feed. So for me, once my contacts' images finish syncing, I leave both unchecked. These two tweaks will save you some juice
~ GPS! I've found that using the same fix for faulty GPS locks in CM6 in this ROM actually improves the GPS lock time like mad. Grab "GPS Status" from the Marketplace and reset/redownload the A-GPS cache. After I did this, I had a super accurate lock in under 4 seconds using Google Maps
~ Task Killers! In my experience, I've found that task killers tend to do more harm than good. My suggestion is to simply place a shortcut to "Running Services" on your homescreen, and check it periodically. For instance, GTalk Service likes to come up every so often, and when it does, I just end it. For the most part, I've done well without a task killer. Android was designed to manage its memory pretty well! Again, I know this is a debated idea, so take with a grain of salt
~ Random bits:
I've found that pressing Menu while in the Sense App Drawer and switching to List View makes the scrolling a bit faster and smoother
Not using all 7 homescreens? Make sure there's no widgets on the ones you're not using. I've found marginally better performance and battery life from doing so.

It will be uploaded shortly. I'm calling for any mod users and themers to test it out for when it's ready, which, as said, should be available within the hour.

I'd like to try this
A longtime lurker here, I've recently switched from Windows Mobile to Android, but have stayed with HTC Hardware. I lurk a lot, but thought I'd chime in to test this one. Just flashed it with no problems, and it seems pretty zippy so far. I'm also hoping it solves the Facebook contacts issues with Sprint, but I won't hold that against you if it doesn't.
It's my first custom Android rom, so I'm about as basic a user as you can get. I have a pretty tech background though, and used to flash my WinMo phones all the time, so i'm not completely lost.
I'll let you know how it goes...
Special thanks to rob0rz for initially porting my DX ROM to the D2 and inspiring me to complete it

Got a quick question. In your DX video preview, you said that the firmware for the DX needs to be 2.3.320 and the new Froyo build 2.2.1. Is this also the case for the Droid 2, or are we good to go on the OTA 2.3.20?

It's not true for either the DX or D2 anymore, actually
I wrote it in the video description on YouTube but I guess you can't see that here! I'll add a note, thanks!

This is deffinatley my rom once the minimalist themes are ported over.
The rom looks very cool especially with the awesome transition animations, do u think you could pm me and tell me how you would build that into a rom?
Thanks so much,
Ljbaumer

This looks pretty darn sweet. Any known bugs or issues with the rom? How is the overclocking? Know it's relatively useless but any word on how quadrant scores compare?
I may give this a try once the themes are over too, me likes it.

Using the oc app from the market, running at 1.45, I ran a quad of 1774 and my linpack was 19.894. Pretty solid numbers. As far as I can tell all the bugs have been worked out. FM radio even works
* Im not sure why, but I seem to be getting worse service with this rom. My girls stock D2 has 3 bars in our house, and mine use to Now, and since I flashed it, Im getting 0-1 bar in m house.
What "minimalistic" themes are you guys referring to? There are themes available in the 2nd post.

3 questions
Is this a AOSP rom like Epic Unleashed?
Does it have some of the cool settings like in Epic Unleashed?
Will this ROM work with Droid 2 2.3.20 update?
(Kind of a dumb question

Try dialing *22899. It relocates your phone and syncs them to the nearest towers. Kinda just updates your signal to the network. Sometimes when flashing a new rom I lose signal or i don't get 3g right away, then I do that and it works fine.

Hahaha, same here..
we'll call it GingerFriday..
Thanks Ice&Fire for this contribution...
I'll be happy to test & try your ROM.
in nadlabak GB "CM7" post there is a fix for Google Apps; whats the story here?
Nice work Iceandfire, just downloaded ROM, and will install it in a couple of minutes!
Let's all welcome Gingerbread on our Mielstones...!
Tomorrow i will post first impressions.
A quick question: Is the Greek-Latin_IME Gingerbread keyboard implemented?
Thanks
Edit: During install, through OpenRecovery I got an error message. I rebooted though and everything seems to work properly. I have Android 2.3.2 installed in my Milestone.
Does apps2ext work on this ROM?
data restore works but i dont see gmail or facebook i flashed the new google apps for cm7 what is the problem???
ok installed gmail and facebook from market but they just fc everytime i try help pls ok i did a full wipe and flashed new gapps its downloading everthing from the market ..after gunna reboot and try data restore again
many problems with this release.
-sluggish performance, doesn't feel as snappy as previous release
-no g-apps support (applying the CM g-apps pack doesn't work, neither does the CM6 g-apps)
-trouble connecting to wi-fi and to my home network (telus) with multiple ril types
-applying themes creates a boot loop
-colours of wifi and radio are inconsistent (sometimes grey, sometimes green)
- gingerbread effects work sometimes (orange gradient on scrolling screens works sometimes.. trying to figure out circumstance.. the "old TV turn off" animation is sometimes cut off, or holds too long)
- General stability and compatibility issues (MANY force closes on launcher pro and market, facebook, gmail and maps refuse to download)
I'm back to 1.0.3 for now, but I'm going to watch these releases like a hawk.
I'd love to see a built in updater (like the one found in the Oxygen mod for the HTC Desire)
Keep up the great work, I'm sure I speak for more than just myself when I say THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT!!!!

Did you perform a data wipe and dalvik wipe? Coz im not having a single problem from the ones you reported! Facebook works,gmail doesn't FC, wifi never disconnects, themes apply fine!
People google apps are directly from CM not from me. So i cant really answer on their behalf.
hey buddy..nice job on porting it...
i was intrigued by ur changelog which says Multitouch 4. AFAIK the new moto kernel don't support more than 2 touchpoints. Did u use an older kernel version?

Nope it doesn't have. The best way to test is to download an app called multitouch tester from the market. The Nov kernel and the old got 2.2.1. release kernel had 4pt multitouch.

- No problem with Google Apps. Installed the package for CM7 after I wiped Dalvik/Cache and everything works fine.
- No problem with my WiFi Network
- Very stable since last night, I only get Force Close from one specific app but I suspect it isn't updated to support Android 2.3 yet.
Maybe you should Wipe everything again and re-install GApps CM7
+1 on the idea of a Built-in Updater, over WiFi...!
That would be really awesome!

Okay soo I've finally updated to sense 3.5. Just wanted to get this out as soon as possible considering its been a while since my last update. The Rom is about 250mb zipped and it actually is a lot cleaner than the last version of the ROM. I was able to make this one more stable and take out almost double the widgets. 3.5 adds about 20 useless widgets on top of the old ones. I also worked on getting HTC weather working in this build since a couple of users asked about it.
I HATE the stock weird notification bar/icons so I have themed them to look more AOSP, just like you would find on any other non-sense Android phone. All in all, it really gives the ROM a clean, sense, feel to it. Rom is super stable and will give you more juice than the stock 2.3.5 ROM.
Anyways lets get to the details:
Features
- AOSP like notification bar
- Stock Rosie/3d swypes
- AOSP browser added for speed
- AOSP desk clock added for speed
- MIUI music app added for efficiency
- Updated HTC Camera/Camcorder
- kept other HTC widgets including calendar, clock, messaging
- themed quick settings
- better sound
- based of the 2.3.5 base
- multilanguage
What's Removed
- HTC Music
- Friendstream
- Stream player
- HTC Watch movie
- random HTC widgets
- world clock
- HTC's stupid facebook/twitter apps
- connected media
- Weather animations
- ALL TMOUS Apps
- ALL voice dialers
- my HTC
- sketcher
- polaris
- browser
- greader
Thanks to:
- HTC for the awesome phone
- EddyOS for porting the 2.3.5 ROM

I will update to 2.3.5 soon just waiting for a more stable base, so far it's just based off a chineese leak. and alright cool!
Hell yea this is looking promising, I've been on the prowl for a lighter sense ROM, just not too light. You've removed everything I would have and nothing more. By removing the HTC Facebook app the contacts pictures may not sync so I might miss that but whatev.. I can figure out how to add it back in if needed.
Any issues you know of yet? Either way its downloading as we speak

AHH its finally here. I've been working on this ROM just to make sense more.... well not as resource hungry! I made a senseless ROM before but missed some of the features sense brings. It's crazy to even think that HTC ships out our phones with over 60 widgets, and random apps that lie there in the background. I've cut down a 400mb STOCK TMOUS ROM to nearly half that size. I removed most of the resource intensive apps people generally don't use. To start most Sense ROMs have about 100-150mb of RAM free, this one starts off with 240. So except to see an increase in battery life as well as performance.
I also HATE the stock weird notification bar/icons so I have themed them to look more AOSP, just like you would find on any other non-sense Android phone. All in all, it really gives the ROM a clean, sense, feel to it. Rom is super stable and will give you more juice than the stock 2.3.4 ROM.
Anyways lets get to the details:
Features
- AOSP like notification bar
- Themed Settings
- Stock Rosie/3d swypes
- AOSP browser added for speed
- AOSP desk clock added for speed
- MIUI music app added for efficiency
- Maps kept into the ROM
- Updated HTC Camera/Camcorder Apps
- removed Weather apps mandatory animations (resource hog)
- kept other HTC widgets including calendar, clock, messaging
- ULTRA hidden quick settings
(slide your finger to where it is supposed to be)

Unfortunately it will take me forever to create a ROM with the weather stuff built in, it's not as simple as just providing the zip lol. I tried making 20 different versions of the ROM to try to get the weather animations/stock app working with the modified framework to get the AOSP notification bar and other tweaks--it never worked. Instead I made sure to just get the HTC weather clock working since that's a major feature most people want.
If you want I can release an unmodified gingerbread ROM with the same htc things removed. The weather animations would work in this case, but you wouldn't get the AOSP notification bar/some of the other tweaks in the ROM.
htc apps etc
i love the fact that the rom has allot of bloat removed, my question Is how much of an Impact does friendstream etc. really have on the phone.
I love the fact that all htc apps tie into each other. IE in people you can see all the recent messages facebook and twitter info. if things are removed will it effect that?
and what about 4g icon and advanced power menu? can they be added pretty please.

There have been ROMS without friendstream in the past, it just wouldn't show up if its not included.
As for the 4g icon I can probably get to that quicker than the advanced power menu. (if the advanced power menu requires additional framework, it would take me a while)
Also people please let me know if I should change to the stock HTC look vs the AOSP kind of notification bar/tweaks.
sorry i know about the roms working fine i am asking because you said it impact the performance of the phone do you have any idea how much i keep a close eye on my phone and have never seen those apps doing anything bad.
with regards to theme i like the aosp could you make it in blue?
and include superuser 3 beta 4

Good idea about the blue, I might do that if I change the launcher style/change the entire theme to a blue rather than the HTC green.
As for the performance.... well friendstream would always be running in the background so I'm sure you would have performance better than not having it. For example people are getting way better battery life/more free RAM with the Senseless Roms on here just because it removes all of the HTC components. Likewise with this ROM, I can say I'm definitely getting better battery life right now though.
Love the Rom completely what I have been waiting for. I would prefer it to stay green but its up to you. I have a bug in the music player where I can't go into settings.
Do you have an apk for stock sense player. I like to be able to control the music from my lockscreen.
This is now my daily driver till miui is perfect. Sorry lol. I got u for now.

Thank you for your kindly answer, I will give it a try.
Awesome work mate , what i have been looking for. Cant believe not many are grabbing this, Sense has so much crap most will never use in it.
Ever since my laptop crashed with Vista, which also happened to bork my recovery, I've been running Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) on it. Since I was now running Linux natively on my laptop, I decided to try to cook a ROM just to do it. With that said, I'd like to introduce to you my very first attempt at cooking with Android... Ginger_FauxICS (v.Alpha3.1).
This ROM was built using kushdeck's gingerbread-hero-deck 1.3 as a base. The only thing I added was a Juwell's RAM optimization script which I had modified ever so slightly, ACS's ICSLauncher, and Pins Music Mod. From the Ice Cream Sandwich system dump, I also added the ICS bootanimation, font, and some icons. I also swapped out some pngs in the framework-res.
For that all around ICS look, you can also flash DameonAndMeagan's ICS Ring Lock Mod which you can grab from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312431
This was originaly a ROM that I baked for a friend of mine since my Hero is no longer activated. When I flashed it on my friend's phone, everything worked and it seems to be running pretty snappy.
Please note that I am in no way a developer of any kind. I'm just a dood that likes to tinker with electronics. All I did was piece together different elements created by the hardworking devs of our awesome community. All the credit goes to them.
Some features:
ICS themed CM7.1 (Launcher, Fonts, Icons, etc.)
Ram Optimization
Deodexed
Apps2Ext
and more...
Also here's a video of an older version of this ROM in action:

Installation Instructions:
- Download ROM from here:
http://sirthumpalot.blogspot.com/2011/10/rom-overview-drews-gingerfauxics.html
- Place ROM on the root of your sdcard
- Put phone into recovery
- Navigate to "Backup and Restore" and backup your current setup first (Optional but I always backup just in case"
- Once fully backed up, wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache twice. I wipe twice just because I'm OCD like that.
- Go to "Format and Mount" and format boot, cache, data, and system. (If you're curently running and ext4 partition on your sdcard already, you may also want to format the sdext as well)
- From there, flash the ROM (gapps with vvm already baked into the ROM)
- You're done.
**User TIPS**
Per InsaneHien
- ROM can be flashed using Darchstar's Amon RA recovery if you resign the zip using PPCGeeks Android APK & Zip Signer program
- Enabling 16-bit transparency in advanced settings speeds up homescreen scrolling
**Known Issues**
Per gidkid - "When you tap the soft home button on the launcher while on the main homescreen, when you return from the helicoptor view, the soft buttons and the app drawer button are gone. They return with a quick reboot of the launcher, or after some time using other apps..."
Solution: Another solution other than restarting the launcher is also simply pressing the back button. That worked for me anyway.
Also per gidkid - "...while scrolling the app drawer, there are some hangups..."
Solution: I'm not sure how to fix this as of yet as it may be an issue caused by how the launcher app reacts to our phone's device limitations. I'll see if I can work something out.

If you wish, you can also feel free to donate to the OccupyWallStreet Movement (http://occupywallst.org). Just like many others in this country, I've been struggling to find work and have lost my house to foreclosure. I believe the political and economic foundation of our great country no longer works for the people as it was originally intended, thus, we must work towards changing the overall state of affairs. We must hold onto what makes this country great. Work towards, once again, having a government of the people, for the people, by the people. We are the 99%. Thanks for reading.

Maybe I meant 3.x or whateverz. Basically it needs to support the newer scripting as opposed to the ones we've grown to know and love back in the Amon RA recovery days. Miss those days, man!

This is the 1st I've heard of this issue. Maybe try again. Are u trying to download it directly onto your phone?

Looks amazing. Always good to see something new around this forum. Thanks! I'll try it out and report back soon. If everything runs well, this could be a great ROM.
Just flashed this, and it was kinda slow until I enabled 16-bit transparency in the advanced settings. Now the scrolling speed on home screen is fast.
Also, this works with Amon's RA recovery. The ROM just needs to be signed so that it'll flash.

Thanks for the tip on the scrolling speed. I'll add it to the original post.
In regards to getting it to flash with Amon RA, did you have to change the script type for it to work?
So far, I'm liking this ROM. It looks nice, and while it was a bit of a shock going back to AOSP/CM after a while with Sense, it was worth it for the ICS looks.
It's not slow, not by a long shot. It's not perfectly smooth, either, and, especially while scrolling the app drawer, there are some hangups, with or without 16 bit scrolling enabled.
The one little bug I found was that when you tap the soft home button on the launcher while on the main homescreen, when you return from the helicoptor view, the soft buttons and the app drawer button are gone. They return with a quick reboot of the launcher, or after some time using other apps, but it's slightly inconvenient while they're gone.
Other than that, great ROM, great contribution. I'll be running this as my daily pending GPS and other tests.

I appreciate the detailed feedback. I believe you can simply press the back button when the soft buttons and app drawer disappear. I'm not sure what causes that unfortunately and I may not be able to look into it anytime soon cuz I have about two weeks to pack up my entire house to move. I'll see what i can do. I'm glad ya dig it. Cheers!
