[ROM] 11/20 - Gutted Hero 1.5 *Add ons can now be flashed*

Update!!! Add on zip files can now be flashed through recovery to install!
Update!!! Gutted Hero 1.5 Available with the MR Update!
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE THREAD BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS!
Ok. There are many changes in this rom. Some may or may not like the changes. I was thinking that I should really live up to the name "Gutted" so I completely removed anything and everything I possibly could. The change log is going to be in the next post.
Also, as stated above this update includes the MR so any issues that were resolved with the update are resolved in this rom.
Now I removed the clock widget in this release but you can easily add it back and the issue with the location and weather not showing should be fixed. Usually it takes a minute or two to find location once pushed but if it doesnt work also push HTCNew.apk and odex and it should work fine.
Oh and before I forget make sure you remember to go into the settings and do a few things. First go to Settings->Data Sunchronization->Google and set up your Google account. Also you may go to Location to set up your GPS and Display to set up the animations.
Finally, I would like to thank MoDaCo for porting the first custom rom ever to the CDMA Hero and making us all very happy people, Amon_RA for his awesome recovery image, Mlign from the Dream community for guidance and pieces of his rom and everyone here at the XDA Communities for being awesome and never giving up.

Changelog
[Gutted Hero 1.5]
Optimized multiple applications as well as Rosie (also reoptimized Rosie since we have the MR update included) such as the Browser, HTC Albums, Phone and Settings
Optimized additional jpegs and pngs that were located various places in the rom
Added Hosts file to block ads for faster web browsing
Added Sprint Visual Voicemail back into the mix
Removed EVERYTHING. Every single HTC widget is now gone, including the clock widget (Look in above post for more)
Removed all other HTC apps that start up on start up including Teeter and Peep
[Gutted Hero 1.0]
Fast
Optimized apps including Rosie.apk (Rosie was 8MB now it's 1.2MB!)
Optimized htc.com.framework.apk and framework-res.apk files
MoDaCo's great and stable 1.1 rom base
Animations from Moto Blur (I think. They are the zooming fading transitions in Mlign's Dream Hero rom)
New Bootscreen (again from Blur I think, it's from Mlign's Dream Hero rom)
Oh and it's fast too

I'm pretty sure the clock is crashing because you removed the weather. They had seemed to be closely tied when I looked at the original sense ui.

No. I removed Weather many times before and the clock functioned perfectly. At work now so I will have to try and fix it tonight.

# Optimized apps including Rosie.apk (Rosie was 8MB now it's 1.2MB!)
# Optimized htc.com.framework.apk and framework-res.apk files
Mind if I ask how you did this? I'm curious if I can just do that on my phone.

Yeah it's easy really. If you want you can take it from my rom and just replace it. The way I did it though is by opening up /system/app/Rosie.apk in an archive manager of some sort (7zip would work). Then I pulled all the pngs out of it and optimized them with optipng. Then I just dragged them back into the apk and your done. There are also jpegs somewhere in there so I deleted all of them except for the first one and with that one I just resaved it and compressed it a bit. You can look in my Rosie.apk if it helps or like I said, your free to just use that one if you want. Just note if you take my framework-res.apk, that is where the anims are stored so you will want to replace my anims folder with MoDaCo's unless you like the new ones.

I believe it's crashing because you removed WorldClock...

That is definitely why it crashes when you click on it. If you push worldclock.apk and worldclock.odex it will be fixed but I figured thats a bug we could live with

The rosie linked here is a scant 732 kilobytes:

I had been toying with installing it for awhile, then I downloaded the dxTop home replacement and I don't think I will be using rosie ever again .
EDIT: Great rom idea btw. I would love to see a real "gutted" Hero rom, including the removal of Rosie. MoDaCo has previously posted a neat little script to accomplish this:

I suppose. But some people use their clock as an alarm.

Does hitting the "Clock" shortcut in your app drawer not work either?

Speaking of weather and location not working in the clock widget, I'm noticing the same behavior from MoDaCo's 1.1 ROM. I've searched for more information about it but haven't come up with anything yet. Do you have any updates as to why this might not be working?

Sweet, thanks!!! (I seem to recall learning this before...just completely forgot it until now, and hadn't thought to do this. I wonder what other apps I could apply that too...hmm)

Will your Gutted ROM install if I have MoDaCo 1.1 installed, running Apps2SD with my SD card partitioned with the three partitions? I have had trouble installed Fresh's ROM because of the Apps2SD partitions.

Since this is based off of MoDaCo's rom yes, Apps2SD works straight out of the box.

post back later if I like it flashing right now, but adding back some of the apps. Many thanks for adding the orginal apps I do use some but others will never be used.
Do I need to wipe then flash?

yeah need to wipe before flashing, ok will live with it for a day then I'll get back and post an update

Flashed with the Gutted ROM and I get "HTC Sense has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" at startup. Can't fully boot. I powered down and rebooted and I get the same thing.

Do I need to be rooted to install

you need to be rooted to install the boot animation but the wallpapers you can just unzip and place on the sdcard

for the bootanimation, you can can copy it to /data/local (no need to be root or overwrite the default bootanimation )

are you sure about that?

Could you link the system dump? Wanna take a look

Okay, found the dump, started boggling around the files.
S-Launcher2
needs some SE framework bits, and to be placed in /system (shares config files with the stock Launcher). Differences are the following:
- Added favorites menu
- Added settings icon next to the Google search bar on top
- The add widget screen has been a bit finetuned, now you can select default screen by the arrows under the screens
So, after fiddling and getting it to run, the following happened:
- Apps menu can not be opened (some kind of a static library problem, the needed file libark2.so gets the menu killed)
- Favorites part won't work
MediaPlayers
After doing some static library magic, it's starting, but then freezes (no "FC or wait" message until touch)
Visualiser
I did not try anything with it
What worth checking out was done

Thanks soo much i wasn't able to respond because i was at school all day. as for the favorites that links in to the favorites apk i believe
but nice work in the meantime
and woul you mind linking what you have done so far?
also i am trying to learn how to do this stuff for myself as well how did you change it to get it to install whenever i tried it gave me error-9

Yes, the favorites app is what I meant, but it's not a separate app - there's a button next to the "Apps" one in the Launcher, that goes to Favorites, but it's not working either (same Ark2 library stuff).
I'll upload them as soon as I get an all-in-one package ready - currently all the files are scattered around, fixed and unfixed versions, etc.
Don't use CWM then, but ADB to remount /system and write directly to it through USB!

Favourites is a separate app isn't it? Ive linked in the Favorites.apk i found in the sys dump
But anyways nice work so far
and i was originally pushing the apk's in with root explorer but i will try adb thanks

Thanks fonix232 for your work!

any progress here ? or is it a stopped project ?
I really like the idea thanks for the work so far

if you need a hand, just say. if you want a quick sign and zip-align of an app from the dump i can do that, also i can port the theme quite quickly if you aren't already doing that?

nice to see you here pashinator but it is not as simple as a singn/zipalign it has tons of dependant apps and librarys and i keep getting stuck with a fatal exeption. and the theme i can do if there is enough intrest but urrently i have been buisy with school and the xoom2/xyboard. if you want to give it a try thaat would be great though

whaen decompileing the apps do you have any issue or do you have to install apktool framework "apktool if "?

[REQUEST][APP] Alarm Clock MOD

Hi,
I recently re-installed Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread on my Google Nexus One and I've been removing stuff that I don't often use, or never have used and I decided that I would remove the official Clock application because it had too much stuff that I didn't need.
I decided to download the Clock application from previous versions of Android, that is the one that launched with Eclair.
I've made some changes to the applications drawable-hdpi and now I'd like to use it on my phone however I'm having some problems when it comes to installing it. I don't want to get into the problems I'm too much but basically I've encountered
- AndroidManifest.xml not valid
- Incompatible version
etc..
This has only happened AFTER I make the changes. I've spent a lot of time on it and now I'm requesting someone else to make the changes for me. I've uploaded the changed drawable-hdpi that I've changed, I swapped out all the old Eclair stuff and optimized it for Gingerbread. =I'm hoping someone can make this application work.
All you need to do is change the drawable-hdpi folder with mine and make it work!
Unless you're a guru and you know how to make it say "Clock" instead of "Alarm Clock" in the application tray.
View attachment drawable-hdpi.zip
I'll buy you a beer!

[Q] Changing icons automation

Hello,
was playing with some customized theme this afternoon, but changing the icons one on one takes a lot of time, is there a way to "automate" this process?)
Is there a way to 'import' a whole icon pack at once?
I'm on VI 4,01 and i have nova launcher prime installed. for folders i use simi folder.
thanks in advance!!

AFAIK There is no such thing (yet) for the sensation This is a bummer, because it requires you to do 1 by 1 using desktop visualiser. However this app doesnt have a back up feature, so if you spend too long customising icons, You can be sure that they will be replaced back to stock when flashing a new ROM
I agree that it would be epic to have a flashable iconpack.zip or something But thats not to say that it will never be made...

hey!
thanks for the reply, to bad such a thing does not exist, it takes lot'sof time to assign the icons one by one.
Thanks for the answer!
edit:
Is there a way to flash an icon pack? so all icons are changed at once? I seem to find some info, but not all. Is this something that can be done trough recovery?

[Q] stock tweaks...

hello!
Was wondering if there was a way, or an app/hack available to tweak some small ui elements w/out root...
Love my phone, but there are a few things that I don't like at all and want to change, such as some of the colors (ie. on calender)
Stock system, not rooted (yet =]
huawei G610-U200
There are stock themes on the phone, but they don't change the system ui itself, just icons and such (should these themes change other elements as well? My old htc themes did. If so, them maybe that would do the trick- but they are not changing system colors etc.
btw, any chance thre will be a dedicated forum to this phone any time soon?
Also, if and when I do decide to root, I want to make sure there are some solid roms/kernels avail. for this model- so far I have not found much-
Does anyone know of any out there besides MIUI?
Thanks.
