I updated some things and added some screen shots.
Wow, and I thought I was the only person with Appalachian Wireless to Root, you know I had a terrible time rooting. Just about every guide I could find was for Sprint only. I wish I had found you about 2 months ago. I had to upgrade to the Stock 2.1, before I was able to root. Did you have as hard of a time getting your Hero rooted as I did on Appalachian Wireless? Just curious.

no i waited until 2.1 was released and rooted, i didn't want to take the chance of messing up my carrier settings with the sprint RUU, and not being able to restore them, i was tempted though very tempted.
Could you please host this somewhere else??? I cant get it to download from mediafire..
can't download it ,can u give another link ty

please be patient with me I'm working on this, should be fixed in a little while.
OK because all my files on mediafire got wiped
and i was going to release this newer version in a couple days anyway, i decided to go ahead and post it tonight.
the only thing missing that i wanted to include in this version is some custom mods i made for it.
i decided to just add them to the original post as metamorph addons instead of including them with the rom, that way you can pick and choose which ones you want instead of me I'll try to have them up soon.
Very nice codejunkie. You've got a little more accomplished with this rom than what I got done with it. My rom was pretty much bare stock. Nothing removed. I was able to get it de-odexed, but when I started looking into changing the rosie, that was when things started becoming unstable.

Awesome man kudos to you...Thank you so much been hitting all the others since someone talked me through a root back in early summer and forgot how nice sense was. How do we add themes for it?
Hello all,
Been lurking here for quite some time, wanna start by saying THANK YOU for the massive amounts of info on here!
I have a request for the stock Stocks.apk app for HTC Sense on the Evo, or if someone could point me to a thread that has a link that'd be great. I'd vastly prefer not to re-flash my ROM, as I think it'd be quicker to just re-install the Stocks app... my HTC Sense has been crashing ever since I deleted it -__-
I'm on a rooted HTC Evo with the latest OTA update, if that info is necessary. Having huge amounts of trouble searching for the phrase "stock stocks app," haha. Too many similar words for the search to be effective.
if you are on a stock rooted evo then you already have it
if you deleted it, just open the rom you downloaded (it is a zip file after all)
and go into the system/app folder and take it from there and then adb push stock.apk /system/app
or adb install stock.apk
if you have a stripped down stock evo rom then your not on a stock rooted rom, and you can grab one of the many stock rooted roms and just take it from there.
Nah I deleted it like an idiot, and because I'm a noob I used unrevoked to root my phone so the stock rom is buried somewhere within that program, arrrg. With unrevoked I didn't have to start fresh from nothing, does this mean it does not flash a new rom in the rooting process? I'm only getting the occasional sense UI crash, but I didn't have any crashes before deleting the stocks.apk using titanium backup, so I figure it's too closely tied into sense or something. Also seems to be causing interferences with chompSMS and widgetlocker, just the occasional sense UI crash.
I dont know where to begin or what to do. Do I have to turn s-off? I just want my phone a little more snappy. Also, is it possibld to dual boot sense 3.0 and srock gingerbread?
You can either turn S-off, root your phone and then, with a file explorer like Root explorer or ES file, delete the apps you want to get rid off;
or you can set a temp root (there's plenty of things related to this in Dev section) and with the same way, delete your apps.
There's a much easier method. Still requires S-OFF, but you don't have to do it manually.
WARNING: THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. PLEASE ONLY PROCEED IF YOU ARE SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS.
Firstly, get S-OFF with AlphaRevX's Revolutionary tool. Let it flash ClockWorkMod Recovery as well. Then flash this file in recovery to achieve root. Once done, reboot into Android (it's still the stock ROM). You then need to go into the Market and install an app called ROM Manager. Give it Superuser rights (Superuser is the front end for root). Then, right at the top, you have an option: Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery. Choose this option, select your phone model (HTC Sensation, only one in the list). It will now flash a new ClockWorkMod that's generally better than the one you flashed and used before hand.
Next, you need to install a custom ROM. This is still Sense (for now, it won't be at the end of this guide!). The custom ROM is called Android Revolution HD. This ROM is really fast, very optimized, and generally a great ROM. Download it and flash it through ClockWorkMod Recovery (reboot into ClockWorkMod by choosing Reboot into Recovery option in ROM Manager). Remember to do a nandroid backup by using the backup/restore option in ClockWorkMod.
The maker of this ROM also makes a Script called No Sense. Here's the post all about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14191947&postcount=2
Once the ROM has finished flashing, stay in recovery (it is essential you stay in ClockWorkMod Recovery) and flash the No Sense script I mentioned earlier. Once the No Sense script has flashed, you can reboot.
You should now be bloatware free! This is still a Sense ROM, but it removes Sense. Unfortunately, Pure Gingerbread and CyanogenMod aren't available yet, but I should think they will be soon.
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions, it is quite complicated
Much like everyone else here, I've successfully S-OFFed and rooted my Sensation. I am perfectly happy with stock Sense, so the first thing I wanted to do is get rid of crap like TeleNAV, Slacker, and other bloatware that has an annoying habit of running in the background. Using Root Manager, which has worked for me successfully on my previous phones, I uninstalled the apk and, where applicable, the odex files for all the bloat apps that I wanted to remove, cleared the cache, and rebooted the phone. To my surprise, not only did the app icons still appear in the app drawer, but the associated apps still opened and ran!
I am not exactly new to rooting, and have successfully removed bloatware from other phones. I am not really interested in flashing a custom ROM at this point. Short of that, any suggestions?

I am in the same boat as you, if the apps are still open and there, whats the point in even rooting? I like Sense 3.0 and I think my phone is fast enough after a fresh reboot, I just want it to be almost as fast by the time my battery dies 20-25hours later and I was hoping deleting or freezing all those background apps I don't use should help with this.
I don't want to dual boot if it's not stock gingerbread or cyanogenmod and I really like sense 3.0 for some reason. All I want do is get rid of all these boat ware and make it as much of such sense that I can, but it looks like you guys are having a lot of trouble
Has anyone been able to successfully remove bloatware after rooting and S-OFFing their Sensations? Any assistance will be appreciated.
***UPDATE: I installed Titanium Backup and used it to remove the bloatware. Worked like a charm!

Can anyone confirm this?!
i can confirm this works, have had bloatware of my choice removed for over a week through Ti backup and it works perfectly... never had any problems... I got the tip from reading the suggestions in insertcoin rom's op (thanks baad)... some people have had apps reappearing using root explorer but not with Ti... and you know its working because if you keep track of your memory on there you can watch it increase as you delete the apps..
+1 for using titanium never had a problem
Tried Titanium, did the trick.
Also used Titanium to trash the bloat!
Do we have a list of applications that are SAFE to remove with Titanium backup? I don't want to mess it up. I had to BORROW a computer to even root my phone so can't risk bricking it.
Yes, but you may need to buy the pro key to acces that feature, choose batch then you'll see a list of choices to run

I meant like for my previous phone Xperia there was a list of apps that are safe to remove on wiki page. I didn't find this for Sensation so I wonder if there is a list somewhere else. On xperia I was using Root uninstaller from Market to unistall.
There was a thread a while back that summarized what could be removed:
[GUIDE] Disabling system/bloatware apps using temp root
Thanks! The thread talks about disabling, not removing though. I take it no more harm can be done by removing right?
Unlocked the Bootloader - check
Rooted the phone - check
Installed Cyanogenmod 9.1 ROM - check
Before doing all that I backed up all the APK's and system files. Despite not liking the bloatware that HTC insist upon you having (yes, I'm looking at you Teeter, Dice, Mirror and Stocks to name but a few), I do actually like the a few including the HTC Weather app.
Within the backup, I had a file called com.htc.weather.[version number].apk
Will any of these HTC apk files install and work if I've have changed the ROM from HTC Sense? If not, is there any way to get them to work in Cyanogenmod?
Many thanks in advance
Rich
Basically mate, it will.
But it wont harm to try too.
I am using a ROM called elegancia but I desensed it. Those apps work fine.
I've unlocked my boot loader, rooted my HTC One Mini and installed Jmz's M4_Kernel-09-4-13 and M4 StockRootedDeOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1 ROM.
This means that I can now delete apps from the /system/apps directory by mounting the system partition read-write using adb. And the best news is that the deletions stick between reboots!
I'm trying to clean out the system apps in order to leave a barebones working phone with the Sense UI intact.
I've deleted apks like HTC's best deals, parent/child apps etc
Does anyone know which of the HTC apks I can safely delete that will still allow Sense to operate correctly?
If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it, thanks.
