It might brick your phone, it might permanently break 4G, it might kill your kitten.
I take no responsibility for any problems from this ROM, including but not limited to poor reception, deleting your entire Facebook account, or causing nuclear warfare.
It is also not much of an original work. I basically just get my kanging on with some ROMs before I load them, and someone had mentioned they might be interested.
Basically I am an AOSP fan, and really liked Bugless Beast 0.4. As bugs were found and Pete moved away from the EVO tjohnsonjr's NonSense became the spiritual successor for some of us. This ROM just takes it a small step further.
Removed
- Device Self Service
- Boot up sound
Added
- AOSP Calendar
- Eliot Stocker Music app (from CM and DC)
- BB v.4 launcher and home
- Bugless Beast Tips
- I put the Adobe Flash apk in, haven't tested it yet
- Quick Boot
- Spare Parts
- multitouch keyboard (also has AOSP and HTC IME)
- Lots of FCs
Uninstallable
- Beast Tips
- Adobe Flashplayer <- might or might not work
- quickboot
- Corp Cal
- ES File Explorer
- HTC Photo Album <- might break something
- Spare Parts
- Sprint TV
- Sprint VVM
- Weather <- might break something
I left the HTC browser, because it will still support double tap to resize, and the HTC copy and paste tool. It just sucks that it only allows 4 tabs. I did not put in a lot of the stuff people typically put in like Rom Manager, Titanium Backup, etc. since they will be out of date so soon anyway.
I have been mostly using CM6 instead of this, and had to kinda remake it, and it isn't very well tested. In fact I am currently in Mexico on vacation so I haven't been able to test the phone or data connections.
If you find something wrong, just post it here so I can ignore it, or maybe make fun of you. If it breaks your phone, you are welcome to whine here. If you post your mailing address I will either send a new phone to you to replace it, or stick a smelly dead fish in your mailbox, or not do anything at all. More than likely the last option.
I don't know why you would want to run this instead of a smooth running ROM that has actually had bugs fixed and won't FC every 3 minutes. CM6 is really strong as a 2.2 right now, and the official 2.2 is kinda out/will be out for real in days. DC and Fresh and NonSense and Baked Snack and many others are killer 2.1 ROMs that give you more features, stability, and battery life than stock. I sure don't plan to run this, or support it. Those guys really know what they are doing.... I can't even figure out how to change the default wallpaper without breaking stuff.
This ROM is just lame.
If you are still interested I suggest talking to a doctor. And you can grab it from the link right here.
Of course a big thanks to all the people I have totally mooched off of. I'm missing some, but off the top of my head.

If this is merely bb4 without the awake bug, I want it. Any word on that?

It's not really BB 4, but I THINK it won't have the awake bug. The awake bug seems to have something to do with all the stuff he pulled out. The NonSense ROM is much more conservative on what it removes (HTC Dialer is still in there for instance).
What do people like about Bugless Beast? The more I know what in particular to bring over, the better this will be.
I could also try to grab BBv4 and fix it, but it is pretty old at this point (pre 1.47) and it doesn't seem worth the effort.
That said, if I keep this going it will more than likely become a CM6 base with tweaks, since it is true AOSP, not just sense with AOSP apps hacked in.

As long as someone at least got a giggle out of the OP, even if no one runs the ROM, it is a success.
What do you guys want out of a Froyo build that isn't already in CM6? Things are too crazy at work right now to have something out very soon, but I'm game to do more. I just don't know what AOSP people want that isn't already in CM.

Stock AOSP ROM with working 4G and HDMI. Only pre-installed with the basic apps.

A Rom that connects me to Jesus...
I agree with most, if possible a stable aosp birth with a good batt for life!

An AOSP rom. And when I say that, I know that there are some things that are proprietary to get some things working, and that would be fine by me.
So an CTAOSP rom

Definetly an AOSP rom with all working stock functions, 4g, HDMI, cameras.
OC'able kernel with FPS Fix and themed, (ManUp is awesome)
It would just be real nice to get a bare bones AOSP with everything working and we can decide on the apps.

Bare bones so we can decide on apps, great!
AOSP with everything working, GREAT!
Themed...not so great. leave it unthemed so we can decide on a theme ourselves. Im not particularly fond of clear notification bars and lock screens myself.

I would also like an AOSP rom, hopefully as bare as possible, without any sense/htc elements.
The most important things for me are speed (response), battery life, and stability.
It should only include the essential apps, maybe with whatever apps others vote on if there is a high enough demand, with anything that is not absolutely necessary uninstallable.
It should also incorporate any upgrades/fixes that will improve stock settings, though it is understandable that most of these come from custom kernels.
I would definitely not want it to be themed. People can install themes if they want but I think it would work better for everyone if they could choose what they want on their phone.
A second post aggregating as many of the add-ons/themes/apps/fixes devs here at xda have made would also be really useful.
All in all, I am really hopeful, since there aren't many AOSP roms and there seems to be a good demand for one.

AOSP Fresh. Flipz fresh evo rom is the best. I would rather see it without sense or any htc apps except what is needed, if any, for all functions to work. I like cyanogen but it isn't fully functional on the evo. So, Fresh AOSP all stock. User can change theme etc...
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G with Sprint

I'm not really sure why AOSP gets all the love it gets...it's just not my thing. Looks boring and cheap BUT thats just me.
I'm not a huge fan of the sense launcher or the rosie dock but the widgets can't be matched no matter how many apps you download =p
But honestly, there are plenty of nice sense based roms here...I'm not sure there is anything else that could really be done to improve on them...so an AOSP would prolly be my vote.
IMO, I would rather see more themes...nobody likes to theme the EVO it seems..

[Rom & Theme] Hero-X-port of the Droid X (Nonsense Rom that was for the Evo)

I am happy to present the Hero X, which is a port of the Evo Nonsense Rom (Droid-X theme) for CM6, with a few modifications.
I have also included a download for the Wallpapers. As always I'm not responsible for anything as you flash at your own risk. If your phone becomes self aware and starts looking for energon then please don't blame me.
I want to give thanks to everybody from the Cyanogenmod crew for their awesome Rom. Big thanks to tjohnsonjr for the Evo Nonsense Rom. Thanks to Magnus Ragnarok for all his help and some of his style.
Downloads:
1) [Rom] Hero-X 1.0.5-
(Disabled Rom link due to known issues. Rom is said to have wifi and facebook sync broken and some complained about busy box errors, switched to theme instead for stabilty).
Be careful that you set your google apps not to update automatically or you might overwrite your current themed apps!
2) [Theme] Hero-X Theme V2 (Added themed Mms.apk and new facebook.apk)-Flash over CM6 stable.
3) [Theme] Hero-X 2.2.1 Nightly Theme-This is based on the newest nightly 2010-10-19
4) [XML] Hero X-xml (For theme colors I use)
Edit: No need to flash gapps. gapps are installed.
5) Hero X data/apps that were in the Rom
adb wireless
always flash
Blink
Astro
Verizon Nfl app
As of now, the number being used is no longer valid. Download the version of the NFL-Unlocker that pertains to your computer below and unzip, and read the directions to change the number associated with the NFL app. You must get a valid Verizon number to use this whether it be from a display phone at a Verizon store:
NFL-Unlocker-x64
NFL-Unlocker-x86
animated weather
custom Tikl ptt
Road sms
divx player
set install location
themed Linkpush
and a few others
* Droid X boot animation is fully functional (sorry, no sound). If anyone knows how to get boot animation audio to work, let me know.
*Added pull down status bar from "Nonsense
*Added Font from the Finisher Rom.
6) Default Droid X wallpaper
7) Collection of Droid wallpapers.
8) Other Droid X LWP-lwp's do work on Cm6, but a select few, don't know if these do or not.
9) *Red themed Mms (Messaging app-icon is red.)
Edit: No need to wipe, but please do a nandroid backup before anything.
Two other cool wallpapers: Post 111
10) Video of the Hero X in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9udUkb94t_A

Nice work, Id be happy to test.

abu_noah said:
Need Testers! I'm working on a port of the Nonsense Rom (Droid-X theme), but I don't have a sprint Hero. My wife has a Hero, but I have to work on hers when i can pry it from her ear. i'm uploading four versions to try and then hopefully you can tell me what's missing, what works and what does'nt or if anything does.
Two of the versions have the boot animation in the rom and two do not and you will have to do a adb push. thisis ported to the Cm6 stable for the sprint Hero, so you will have to push it to system/media. i have also included a download for the Wallpapers and the flashable Droid X keyboards. As always I'm not responsible for anything as you flash at your own risk. If your phone becomes self aware and starts looking for energon then please don't blame me.
Uploading links now, but my internet is slow.
V1-Hero-X w/o boot animation
V2-Hero-X with boot animation
V3-Hero-X w/o boot animation
V4-Hero-X with boot animation
The reason for the 4 versions is that I tried a few different things on each one.
New Gapps
Droid X bootanimation (Unzip and push through Adb)
Default Droid X wallpaper
Other Droid X LWP-lwp's do work on Cm6, but a select few, don't know if these do or not.
Droid 2 keyboard-should work for this since this keyboard is for froyo. i've only tested it on my Evo.
I would suggest wiping no matter what, but you should be able to get away without wiping if already on Cm6, otherwise wipe. and please do a Nandroid back up before hand, so if anything does go wrong you can restore. Once I can get back to working on hers, i will post screen shots.

So what're the advantages of this over CM6?

i will try to test some, im having some serious issues with CM6, i prefer the NFX rom, but it keeps crashing constently. so i need something new.

Im down to test the rom

like trying new stuff out..when it gets uploaded i will let you know how it is. Like a question above whats the difference between this and CM6?

Not really any advantages, but someone asked me to do this for their hero for the look mostly. nothing like what you do. I see your stuff, especially the Black and gold. it's basically a theme a ported and made a Rom, but I used Cm6, because i didn't want to mess with the sense and it was the only 2.2 Rom without sense that I've seen. I didn't want to give a 2.1 Rom, but My internet just cutout while I was at 67%, so I have to re upload again. Versions will go up one after another.

so is this a froyo rom or 2.1? and sense or non-sense?

I am going to do what i did on Magnus Ragnarok's finisher rom. I ported his 2.1 to 2.2 because everyone kept asking and I didn't know he was working on a new one, but like I said it's hard for me to work on my wife's hero when she's at work or I'm at work and she won't let me hold on to it, so to anyone who wants to test, just download when the links are up and tell me what I need to do.

This is only stock cm6, so whatever the battery life is then that's it. I have Snap turbo on my Evo, but i hadn't thought of adding a kernel. I'm sure whatever is compatible with Cm6 will work. I didn't change anything except the theme, I hope but hdpi to mdpi is difficult.
edit: links might be up tomorrow. i'm on my neighbors wifi and it literally says that Version 1 will be uploaded in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

[ROM] Salvage-Sense 1.0 RC1 [2.1]

Salvage-Mod Sense
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Welcome to SalvageMod Sense. This is a fun side project I've been working on. SalvageMod Sense is a HTC Sense project based off the Speedy Sense 2.1 upgrade. This does not contain the usual 3.0+2.1 merge you might be used to, and is not the goal of this project. So no asking. I thought I would share this ROM with you guys for anyone wanting a stable sense 2.1 experience. The ROM is uploaded to Google Code so if you're interested you may visit the links provided below.
This project features a fairly stock, yet enhanced, sense 2.1 experience. It also features a new kernel based on HTCs source code, ChopSuey. This kernel is open source on Google Code as well, again, links provided below. The kernel is fairly stock with a few additions, but more to come.
Why is it called SalvageMod!? I dunno.. I don't really like coming up with names. SalvageMod took a lot of brain power. At some point, my homie lith might join in and contribute to this one, so I figured we'd keep the team name together.

Thanks to leoisright for getting me interested in this port with the very first "alpha" he released. I have been picking away here and there ever since
Known issues:
-Boot animation is broke. Sits on "salvage-mod" but it's booting. Be patient.
-HDMI out?

What does this ROM look like?
Sense.
To do:
Implement undervolting
Allow overclocking
Add a few more cpu scaling options to the mix
Few UI changes I have in mind
Fix boot animation (compression issue I do believe)
Fix slight alignment issue on lockscreen text previews (almost money)
Add more options to notification widgets
Implement some OG salvage goods?
Clean some more things up. Still a little overweight
Some system apps needs updating
Remove pesky location notification
Run a marathon
Take my dog for a walk

i'm freakin pumped about this man. thanks!

Nice! I'm in. Now, I can have Salvaged AOSP and sense

Finally newer stable sense rom. Thanks!

barnacles, this is exactly what i was hoping for man. No disrespect to any of the 2.1 + 3.0 "accents" ROM's, but they just seemed a bit laggy for me (especially when pulling down the notification bar). This feels very quick, has enough extra, but still slim. Appreciate this!

hey, great job, it looks like you disable the flipclock, since you did that, you might as well finish it off by upgrading the screen from 4x4 to 4x5, as i beleive having the flip animation disables 4x5 and sticks on 4x4 no matter what.

Right on! Flashing this bad boy with lithid's kernal!

hey barnacles, i noticed when i get a text message on the lock screen that the text message icon is pink....can this be changed
edit: also, does anyone know how to update to the latest market? I tried clearing cache and data, but it's a no go.
edit 2: i'm not sure if DTa2sd is set up right, i'm not showing my sd-ext in titanium backup and when i run a2sd check in terminal emulator and it said something about no mount block.
Just trying to be helpful since this is an RC. Don't mean to offend anyone.
Edit again: i flashed the dta2sd beta 4 zip file and it's up and running now. probably something on my end, but if not, i hope this helps someone.

Chop Suey!
I would just like to mention that as I was reading this, "Chop Suey" by system of a down came on octane on sirius radio. Found it rather amusing! Downloading. Always dig anything from you brotha!

okay only this one could get me to go back to sense...
time will tell
Looking forward to this

Any chance of implementing landscape rosie support in this one? I absolutely love that feature, especially when the kickstand is out.

Who are you and what did you do with AOSP barnacles?

I am going to download this and take a look. I like the way the 3.0+2.1 builds look but I have had some problems. I have tried Synergy and MikG. Had another bootloop while using the phone again today. I am not sure if the problem is the ROM or the Freedom kernel.

Great rom. Thanks for your work!

excellent ROM! nice everyday driver! I second the lock screen pink Icon, if that could be changed that would ideal....Also if you could raise the "lock ring" up a little that would be awesome too!!

The rom is the balls man. I love it. I've never been a big fan of the 3.0+ 2.1 roms. They never seem to work out or they lag too much and the battery life is usually suspect in my eyes. I'll be sticking with your rom for a while barnacles. Thank you.

Really liking this ROM. Nice, and simple. The only thing I would like to see the app selector on the lockscreen.

[REQ][DEV]Port Sense 3.5 lockscreen to Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid ROMs

This thread is in Development because I mean to share a development idea that I had with the devs here. I don't have the knowledge or skill to work this out myself, so I'm hoping to start a discussion among devs who can do something with it.
Right. At the moment, Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid ROMs are all using the Sense 3.0 lockscreen - but it's still an old version of that lockscreen, ported in the early days of the HTC Sensation (by seo if I'm correct). Resizing for the lower resolution on the Desire was necessary, and you can see that clearly on the lockscreen - icons and text appear slightly "squashed", and performance is slightly choppy as well.
However, on full Sense 3.5 ROMs ported from the HTC Runnymede, the lockscreen is graphically flawless, and it's lagfree as well, probably largely due to the fact that no resizing is involved. It's just a much better lockscreen than the Sense 3.0 one found in Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrids.
My question/idea is: could this properly sized Sense 3.5 lockscreen be ported from Bliss or Runnymede ROMs to work in Sense 2.1 ROMs?
I'm hoping for this to be a place for devs to discuss and hopefully work out this idea. Mods, if you still think this is in the wrong place, feel free to move.
Thanks in advance!

I suggest Rsk or Seb's ROM
Enviado desde mi HTC Desire usando Tapatalk

Both of which are based on Runnymede RUUs. Keep in mind that the question is to port the lockscreen from Sense 3.5, not from a single specific Sense 3.5 ROM - so the base will come from HTC, not from any custom ROM developer here.
In other words, this question is pretty much irrelevant.

Bump. I'm hoping at least one of the few developers still left here could look into this.

Might have a go if you want. Something different. Not for a couple of days though. Sense isn't my thing but smali /apktool is. I'll pm when I can.

Many thanks, man! Looking forward to it.
I was hoping we could do most of our communication in this thread, though. That way, other devs could chip in wherever help may be needed. And that could be welcome, if Sense really isn't your thing
Hoping to see as much dev input as possible here, and it seems we're off to a great start. Thanks again!

Ok no probs. I have enough pms for porting and mods, a thread would be a good change
No promises, but ill do my best to have it done this weekend. It's not that I'm anti-sense, but I've always been on my miui builds (for at least 8 of the 11 months I've owned an android phone). Fingers crossed .

Which 2.1+3.0 Rom do you use at the moment? I already have a few 3.5 zips so can get the lockscreen easy enough, just need to know which Rom to use when doing the porting /testing? (and so I can see what you mean about the visual problems.)
Still won't know how big a task it is until I look tomorrow.

His signature says he is using the Alex-V's ROM.
I haven't tried Alex-V 1.8 ROM yet, but i use InsertCoin for years now. I'd love to see it in InsertCoin 1.1.4 as well. I'll stay tuned.

I'm on Alex-V 1.8 for cm7r2 now, the link is in my sig. I don't think there's much of a difference with other 2.1/3.0 ROMs (like InsertCoin), if any difference at all - as far as the lockscreen goes, that is. They all use different implementations of a2sd (standard, data++, ad2sdx, even int2sd), which probably needs looking into.
And take your time. It's already immensely appreciated that you're willing to look into it in the first place.

This looks like a very interesting project. To be honest though, I don't think a hacked up version of the ring lockscreen will go any faster on sense 2.1 roms.
If you check out any pure Sense 3 port you will see that the lockscreen is way smoother than any 2.1/3.0 hybrid or even a 3.5 rom, even with all the resizing.
In my opinion it all comes down to framework changes between sense versions.
But anyway, I guess a good starting point would be a smali by smali compare between an original sense3 htclockscreen.apk and one from the hybrid roms to roughly see what needs changing. Then you could try to apply the same modifications in the 3.5 lockscreen apk.

Possibly, but in any case we'd still lose the graphical imperfections of the old, resized Sense 3.0 lockscreen. In Sense 3.5, the ring is a lot bigger too - it sticks out further from the bottom, making it easier to grab and unlock. Even just graphically, it's better than the current lockscreen.
Also, nobody's ever tried this, so we'd never know if it'll be faster.

I concur. Thanks for your input!

Trust me, I know what needs doing
How hard it is to do is the question, porting apks between frameworks is fairly simple unless they are massively different and the apk is hugely dependent on it.
I had miui v4 themes working on evervolv by hand porting the code, and ported apks between frameworks before so have a fair idea what needs doing .

This thread will turn out to be highly educational then. Nice

Just fyi, due to a couple of things taking longer than I thought yesterday, will most likely get around to looking at this on Wednesday. I'll post when I have anything useful.

Alright. No worries, I've got plenty of revision to kill time until then.

Is there a way to "install" Sense 3.0 lockscreen on Sense 1.9 (stock HTC gingerbread for Desire)?

Not without modifying it, and no, I have no plans to look at anything else sense related, sorry.
Please stay on topic.

Been trying to get Alex-Vs rom since yesterday, and download is stuck at 98% and has been disconnecting constantly. PITA and I'm tired so hopefully it'll finish tomorrow and I can have a look.
