NoClutterSense. Sense - without the clutter!
This ROM removes nearly every HTC stock app and replaces them with their AOSP counterparts. It also removes every HTC widget except the clocks, as I understand and think these are the best part of Sense. I have also not removed the Sense lockscreen, as the general feedback on that has been overall good.
This ROM is quite literally blazing fast.
There are more than 100 apps removed altogether, so I'm not listing them here. But I will list what has been replaced.

Required dependencies needed by Sense 3.0
Download! There are some bugs, listed here:
Messaging app crashes on startup, but does send message. Download GO SMS to work around this for now.
The Setup Wizard does not work correctly. It defaults to UK English, but of course you can change that in Language and Settings, which does work.
You cannot get into Wireless and Networks, but both mobile data and WiFi do work correctly. Download WiFi Manager from the Market and connect to WiFi.
I have not removed HTC Dialer, but the AOSP phone application is there and if you press Phone shortcut in the dock, select Phone AOSP and select it by default.
Calendar application does not work. Right now, I have no idea why.
Viewing Application settings in Manage Applications crashes the Settings app. I currently have no fix/work around for this.
Screenshots coming soon!

Heck Yeah! The roms are shipping in
awesome, cant wait for this! the dev section is just exploding!
Can't wait for this...I like the idea of sense without the widgets...but would it be possible for us to add any of the stock apps back...I like the sense calendar better than the stock one.
Ugh. Dont made a thread about a rom until it's release. I'm annoyed.
Yes this is nice, i dont like the sense, but why you keep the sense launcher? What a point the rom without sense if you keep sense launcher?
Thank you!!

Now we have two rom threads without a rom. Annoying.
Guys, this will be released today, probably with the bugs. Then I can let other users/devs fix them if they'd like
About removing the Sense launcher; then it would be nearly AOSP. I wanted to create a ROM where it was AOSP and Sense, but Sense was complete barebones.
I'm going to add options to reinstall the Sense apk's as well

As this ROM is based on mike1986's Android Revolution HD (for now) I have asked permission to use the ROM. However, the kernel is stock (also, for now).
Had a slight scare there, for some reason framework-res.apk wouldn't zipalign turns it out it was corrupted. Dunno how that happened. All fixed now though
Trying to get the ROM to boot with the stock kernel. For some reason it hangs on the splashscreen.
S'all good - ROM is booting with stock kernel Some way down the line (read: end of August) I'll be replacing this stock kernel with a proper, custom kernel, with overclock, underclock etc. But I'm still learning this, so please, bear with me
well done mate

You really felt it necessary to quote the entire OP as if we don't know what you're referring to? Really? And it states in the OP that screenshots are coming soon..
This rom sounds quite promising, I'm gonna give it a try when its released. Will there be an option to remove Sense altogether? Please say yes :3
will this be released before ★SupraROM★ ?

Same question
I'm trying, I'm trying. Mike's said he'd rather I didn't use his ROM as base - and I can see why he says that - but he's helping me create my own ROM.
Meanwhile, I may release a version based on Mike's ROM (temporarily) so I can get the ROM fixed up and ready for official release on my own base.
Anyway, stay close to my Twitter for all the latest news!
I am currently running ARHD 6.6.4 and while it's great, I think I'm getting a little tired of Sense 3.6. My question is that, other than the usual superwiping and flashing the zip, is there anything else I need to do to? I already have the 3.32 firmware.

rather than superwipe..use "format all partitions except sdcard" form 4EXT->wipe|format
that option is very well supported when changing roms
What ROM's are you using?
I've installed this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25154538&postcount=8637
There is already several things that I miss from 3.6.
For instance the application list when pulling down the notifications screen.
Also do I miss the quick settings menu and the task manager. Are these missing only in this port, or is it actually removed as default from the original "Sense 4" ROM on "HTC One X" ?

You don't really need task manager.... Just long press the home ui button
Sent from my Sensation using XDA
I know that this is possible, but you get no cpu/memory statistics or possibility to force close the applications from the program list you'll brows from the home button.
The question was not for if i need them or not.
You don't need chocolate, but you want it and eat it non the less.
It's all about how you actually work with your phone and how you use it.
These features (program list, quick settings and task manager) were really nice, easy and quick to access. So I am really wondering what HTC are doing if they actually are removing nice to have features that's neither bloaty, confusing or in the way.
The question are still if this is actually the same for the original One X ROM and all the other Sense 4 phones, or if this is just removed from the ported ROM?

Hi !
ARHD is definitely a great ROM but one grows tired of the Sense 3.6 look. I really enjoy the deSensed look of some ROMs but those were still buggy. So, the nicest , most balanced alternative I found so far is SharkDrOiD S3 v1.4 which has, I think, all the features you're looking for.
You might want to try it out.
Cheers !
Hey guys, I seem to be having a problem with the HTC widgets. I am on Leedroids rom, I flashed the tweak script, installed Rosie scroller and deleted these apps by using the same script: HTC stocks, HTC watch(ppv service), and all aosp apps and My HTC. Recently, I have tried to add HTC widgets to my screen and cannot find them in the widgets list with filter set to all. Was wondering what I should do to fix this, could it be the apps the I uninstalled in the tweaks script? I still have my HTC clock on the homescreen that I added a long time ago. Thanks.
Edit: tomorrow I'm going to try to fix it by reflashing boot.IMG and rehashing the Rom. Surry It's late and I wasn't thinking
EDIT: Solved by flashing boot.img and reflashing the ROM.

Just clear sense data in apps management.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
This is my second Android app. I develop this little app because I prefer 3rd party launcher (e.g. Apex) than existing Sense 4 Rosie. Existing hacked Sense 4 Rosie (full version) currently doesn't support non Sense widget correctly and is less feature-rich than many other launchers.
Even if you install a 3rd party launcher, Rosie still consume your precious memory as a system service. But if you freeze Rosie and thus release it from memory, you'll lose your lockscreen app shortcuts. After painstakingly reviewing the codes in HTC shortcut components, I found that Rosie actually act as a content provider to supply information of its launcher bar shortcuts to lockscreen. So without Rosie, lockscreen has no information to construct its shortcuts. Therefore I wrote this little app to replace the role of Rosie as the content provider. What's more, it allows you to select your own apps with a simple config screen and store the data separately. And it doesn't stay in the memory permanently.
Installation instructions:
Uninstall Rosie (Freezing doesn't work because Android doesn't allow two content providers of same type) ** You're reminded to make a backup first **
Install HTC Lockscreen Shortcut Provider
Run Lockscreen Shortcuts
Select your app for the 4 shortcuts
Hit back to save settings and notify HTC lockscreen
MD5: 30056AA5EF4716ADCD043B2751A3943B
** Currently this app has been tested to work with Sense 3.6, 4, 4A and 4.5 **
Change log
1.42
- Send broadcast notification to lockscreen on phone boot (should fix shortcut not showing issue after a reboot for TrickDroid)
1.41
- New option to hide app title
1.4
- Add support for Sense 4.5 (thanks Patrics83 for testing new version and support!). You MUST uninstall any previous version first.
1.3
- Add support for Sense 4A
1.2.1
- Fixed FC when loading installed apps
1.2
- Add support for Sense 3.6
1.1
- Added broadcast message to HTC lockscreen so no reboot is needed!
Great idea. Next time I'm on a sense rom I'll give it a shot

It doesn't work that way currently because this app replaces Rosie and cannot coexist with it.
But what you want to do can be done. You need to mod the idlescreen_Base.apk to use a different message to request for the shortcuts and change my app to listen to that message. This way, Rosie can coexist with this app and lockscreen will communicate with this app for the shortcuts.

You are my hero!
I needed this so badly wow you did exactly what I dreamed that some1 should create
Update:
Its not working.. :\
I thought it did at first but I guess it was still because of the last run of the HTC Rosie Sense.
After a restart the icons are gone and no matter if I go back to the app and rechange the list, the lockscreen is still empty.. :\
Can I help in any way to make it work? Perhaps sending some log files?

Did you see a toast (popup message) "Notified HTC lockscreen" after saving the shortcuts settings?
If possible a logcat would help
I'm quite confident that it works for DHD since it's so similar to IncS if you're using a supported ROM.
I will give this a try. I hope it works because I am using Blackout ROM (Sense 3.6). It is just what I was looking for! Rosie looks nice but takes too much memory and is very feature limited so I want a third party launcher but still want to try and use a Sense based rom.
Thanks man and hope it works .
Thank you
Gooooooood work ! :good:

I know about the issue in Sense 3.6 and I'll try to find a solution. As for aLogcat, after it's running, you need to go to the lockscreen and unlock it. Go back to aLogcat and save the log file and send it to me. If the lockscreen generate any error, I'll be able to see it.

It doesn't allow you to change the icon. Currently the lockscreen retrieves the icon from the app itself.
Is there any chance we could get a Sense 3.6 version please? I'm trying it on ICE DS and though the shortcuts appear, dragging them just unlocks the phone - no app opens.
Thanks a lot though, it works really well on Fallout
Works perfectly on fallout rom with apex launcher, renamed the Rosie.apk as suggested above
Added link to your application thread in the index under useful links section
Curious, What was your first application? Anything half as useful?

Attached is the Rosie .apk from ICE DS, I know it'd be appreciated if you could make it work!
SOLVED
Now this might not be related to this application, but, after setting this application up and being massively happy with it (read my various posts above) then renaming Rosie.apk and then upgrading to the latest beta version of Apex. I rebooted and then unfortunately Apex half loaded, but no lock screen so couldn't get into phone, could only drop the notifications bar. I Had to restore back to last safe nandroid backup (pre this app and Apex to get our of it?) Just me? Anyone else?
EDIT:
I did exactly the same steps again and this time no issue, so put it down to a one off? Probably an issue with new latest Apex beta...
