This is a senseless rom. Works great.
You can grab it from here:
http://inc.sodpit.com/roms/ozzeh/
Just installed this rom. It seems to work pretty smooth but when I went into accounts to add gmail it doesnt list it as an option. A big part of the phone experience is having this integration but it looks like it has been taken out. If I am missing something please let me know.
Thanks for the effort!
http://roms.sodpit.com/2010/06/22/unrevolved-zip-by-ozzeh/ you need to install google apps
You can also add your gmail account to the native Mail App but, that takes away from the senseless feel though.
Nice job ozzeh, feels very fast. Very clean.
Btw setcpu doesn't work, does it? (Only questioned your screenshot)
My main question would be, do you see better battery life with the Sense-less UI? I don't really have a problem with Sense in general, other than it seems to run a lot of cr*p in the background, my assumption is this adds to the terrible battery life of the Incredible (compared to the Moto Droid, even when overclocked). Just curious on your experiences with battery life with this rom, might make it worth it.

I just installed it this morning around 6am so far the battery life is alot better but, I'm use to having over fifty apps installed. Give it a day or two, for some real results.
Can't download
When I click the link to download, it just redirects me back to the same page. When I click the apps link, get a cannot be found error.
Anybody else experiencing this??
edit...nevermind. You have to download from the roms.sodpit.com frontpage. Won't download from http://roms.sodpit.com/2010/06/22/unrevolved-zip-by-ozzeh/roms/ozzeh/apps.zip
LOVING the home screen rotation, AH finally! Might actually stick with this one for a bit after I try out jager 1.1
Silly Questions
But, I am really curious how the facebook / contact integration is without the htc sense facebook integration? Is it the same I like that all my facebook contacts link to my google contacts, but does this option go away with sense?
Also sharing photos from the gallery with HTC facebook, seems like it would go away too, and while I haven't used the regular facebook for some time, I remember it not being as easy and as convenient as the other (i.e. couldn't add the photo and create a new album at the same time, etc)
anyone care to share their experience with these 2 things?
can't get this to flash. MD5 sum is correct and everything seems fine but it hangs at the white incredible boot screen forever! Tried everything but it never works, Oh well.
Try redownloading it through your PC browser or phone browser...it works fine for everyone else so there is no reason it shouldn't work for you...other than an error on your end.
ozzeh, my nandroid backups got screwed up. Your unrevolved rom is my default rom for now, hope it'll support me
Is it possible to backup text messages? It'd be nice to have them persist after the flash

yes! SMS backup and restore in the market or Titanium Back up. SMS backup and restore does not need root but ii recommend it 100%!
For some reason Gmail and Google Talk have the 'unknown' android icon, and they both force close when trying to launch... what did I do wrong? Market works fine. I tried applying apps.zip downloaded (twice) from my laptop and once from inside the phone browser to no avail.

for me the facebook integration is still essentially the same. and i say that because you can still link all ur facebook contacts to google. also sharing is still the same, as the facebook app for android is the same for sense as well. Now, the caveat to this is I came from my sprint Hero phone with no sense and that is how it worked. Also, I have not personally used this ROM yet.

Considering I am having the same problem, do tell, what error on our end would it be? I mean, yeah, the phone was wiped. The MD5s match. So whats the issue?
Its easy to say user error, its quite another to actually help someone out and explain the problem. If you don't know, then don't say it.
I've compiled my own roms for the Moto Droid, and have never had issues flashing them. I think I am qualified enough to flash a copy and paste job.
Is this what you have to do to apply the rom?
1 Download the build.
2 Rename it to "update.zip".
3 Copy it to the root of your phone's SD card.
4 Turn your phone off.
5 Start up in recovery mode by holding Home and pressing Power.
6 Press ALT+W to wipe your device. (You need to do this, or the device may hang at the flashing Android screen)
7 Press ALT+S to apply the update.
One other thing, if this is truly a sense free ROM, I wonder if JIT will play nice with it. I know JIT hated Sense, perhaps someone with the ROM installed wants to give it a try? I'll try it out later if I have time to install the rom.
Since there still hasn't been a rom specifically for the Optimus T yet (even though the optimus one roms work), I figured I'd make one..it wipes data, so backup your apps, and it wipes dalvik-cache, so the first boot will take a while, it'll sit at the LG logo for 40 seconds, then at the flashing android for 3 minutes. Every boot after that should be about 40 seconds.
What's been done so far:
Overclock kernel built from drellisdee's source-you need setcpu or overclock widget to enable it
ext2/3/4 removed, debug removed, optimised for the msm7227
tmobile boot animation removed, noatime & nodiratime added to mounts
Game demos, tmobile apps, drivesmart, gmail, facebook, and twitter removed
Quick Settings added (for easy wifi tether)
Gingerbread theme & keyboard
3d Gallery from cyanogen
Updated Market & Maps
Updated hosts file to block ads
LGHome replaced with Launcher Pro
Deodexed
Built from v10l-wifi calling enabled
Jit & Hardware Acceleration enabled
Dalvik heapsize set to 40
Stagefright disabled (I know it improves quadrant, but it also keeps some videos from playing, and I want everything to work out of the gate)
Probably some other stuff I forget
What is being worked on:
Nothing, I've completely lost interest in this phone.

Could you please port a full gingerbread theme ? I really love it.
I'm using void right know and I only managed to get the notification bar black + gingerbread icons.
As a comment to your ROM:
Try replacing the boot animation with a static image. I think the device will boot faster.
A ROM like that for the Optimus One will be great...
Anyway great work !

I've been going back & forth about the boot animation...I really like the way it looks, but it does seem to add 5-10 seconds to the boot time (maybe a lot more on first boot)
It's your ROM, you have to decide, not me/us. I thought that it would be better.
Any news on the gingerbread theme ?

While it's still in beta & unthemed, there's really not much need to, it's the default launcherpro setup with the ugly wet leaves background...I'll be working on the theme today (just saw the gingerbread theme, I kinda like it, I think that's what I'll go with), when it's done, I'll post screenshots.

Since optimus one roms work on the optimus t, the same thing probably works in reverse...either way, I don't want to release roms I can't test myself first, and I've seen some of Noeljn's work on the optimus one, and I don't think I can match it. But thank you for the compliment though.
THANK YOU. i WILL GIVE IT A TRY! SORRY KEYBOARD BROKEN
Any progress on the theme ?

Thanks, but I still think your roms are better, I just wanted there to finally be one that said Optimus T.
Have you destroyed your notebook ?
Have you got the Gingerbread theme to work ?
I was wondering about this change, "ext2/3/4 removed, debug removed, optimised for the msm7227" Debug removed ??? Also why did you remove ext2/3/4 ?
You have copies of some aps, you had calander 1.0 and 2.2(I think one is the widget though), Car Home 2.2 twice, etc. Check your work.
Some ideas I wanna throw at you I like from other roms
Extended APNs
Patch hosts file
Gapps removal (Get it down to the essentials, gmail, maps, I know there are a lot of gapps that can be downloaded later so it is more customizable to the user)
Video Camera Edit (Maybe try 720p ? Auto focus on video recording ?)
Remove more bloatware(Drivesmart, Facebook, ThinkFree Office, Twitter, Telenav GPS Navigation, Visual Voicemail, 3 Voice aps, youtube(Offer Drivesmart, Thinkfree, Telenav and the 3 voice aps as an optional zip, you can get rest from Market)
Maybe get some ideas from Cyanogen ?
I would wanna develop some stuff but I don't got time =\
Can you exchange the stock Gallery with the one from Cyanogenmod ? That one is extremely fast.

All duplicates are other parts of the program, there's carhome, carhome launcher, calendar, calendar provider, calendar widget, etc.
I think I did patch the hosts file, I can't remember now.
Video edits aren't something I'm good at.
The reason I didn't remove more bloatware at first is because I wanted opinions on what should be removed, on my phone, I remove everything, but I don't know what other people like.
I'm hoping to have beta 2 released tomorrow night, with the boot animation gone, dalvik-cache moved to /cache automatically, and the theme done other than the dropdown menu (if someone else wants to fix it they can, I hate theming & I'm not spending anymore time on it.)
Excelent. I can't wait to test it. Can you please answer my question too ? (about the Gallery, one post above)
Thanks !

Hi,
Today, I had self reboot after a recieved phonecall. the other side ended call and my screen stood black and then rebooted.
I had similar problems before, either this would happen or screen just stood black until I pull out the battery, but I was pretty sure it was because of Roadsync.
I allready explained everything here:
kulen said:
I have crashes with stock SE ROM.
and I suspect it has something to do with Roadsync and exchange mail.
I noticed that receving mail and talking to phone at the same time crashes my phone.
So I suspected on Roadsync
So tried to upgrade it, but it crashed again
then I upgraded ROM (to the latest official 2.1), and it did it again, but just once for now.
I suspected it has something to do with Exchange protocol and (or) this ROM or something. But I tried Touchdown and it didn't crash so I know it's Roadsync problem (because if touchdown can work Roadsync should too).
Unfortunatelly I have to use Roadsync because it's SE included, and touchdown needs to be payed.

This time I didn't recieve a mail and I wasn't looking mail or something when this happened.
I have this:
E15i
2.1-update1
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-534004015
2.6.29
[email protected] #1
2.1.1.A.0.6
ZD Box task killer reports this applications when my phone is on, and I believe it's all that's active (but it doesn't show SE included apps):
Alarm Clock Plus
Tasker - just installed - no profile added
XDA
ZDbox
I also have Roadsync Exchange and Gmail syncing all the time.
Did anybody experience something similar, and what could be the problem,
SE android, apps, syncing, hardware ...?
It's very important for me to have reliable phone, so I would like to solve this problem.
I can't recreate problem, and it only happend second time since I upgraded software a few days ago.
So if somebody has the same problem please post your experience, maybe we'll come to conclusion easier together.
thank you!
Are you living in stone age dude?
First of all, if you dont want custom ROM (wich I suggest you)
ROOT YOUR PHONE, second install System app remover from market, and remove all stock apps that can be removed. (Dont touch gapps).
You can easily find isntructions here on this very forum, it's sticky!
My opinion is - install some custom ROM - try Elelinux or Floyo v0.20 by Racht. Much more stable and faster than stock.
I had same problem like you. Now it's gone.

Well,
I have had HTC Touch Cruise for a few years and I could throw it away a month after I bought it if there were no XDA and custom ROM's.
So, no I don't live in stone age, and I'm not new on XDA and (or) with custom ROM's
The thing is, as I said, I need phone to be reliable, because of my work.I can't play with it, root it, test ROM's or so, because I'm on call support, which includes weekend and night. so I need to catch some time to play with it.
Until then I must use stock ROM, and I'm just gathering information about X8.
And to be honest I want to use stock ROM for some time until I get familiar with phone and android and I'm sure all hardware is ok.
If this is not android problem but, let's say, Roadsync (or hardware or something else) problem then it could happen on custom ROM's too.
so it would be nice to find out what's the problem, if possible
Thank you for your answer, and please tell me more details about problem you had.
did you just have custom reboots, or freezes or what?
did you use Roadsync or any other Exchange mail?
did you try to find out what it was before you installed custom ROM?
thank you
I didnt use any of it, my phone rebooted frequently. After calls too. And it was running in a background.
So, you want reliable phone...
You must root to uninstall these apps. Try it. Its maybe a solution.
Install custom rom without overclock if you want REALIBLE phone. Belive me.
I'll post you all things you need, it will take an hour of your time.

I do plan to install custom ROM. otherwise I would report this to SE also.
but I thought if we figure out what causes this it could help others and maybe on custom ROM's too if there's the same problem.
I was thinking of installing racht's floyo 0.20, but I will not be able to do this until next week for sure. and I still have to figure out how to sync phone with exchange server after that, because I don't want to pay for a new application and I don't want to use cracked one.
I didn't understand what was running in the background for you, and which applications do you think I should uninstall?.
I can uninstall all but the most suspicious - Roadsync because I don't have alternative for it
and even that I won't risk doing at least until next week
but uninstalling SE included apps one by one and checking if phone still reboots is a good way to start searching for a problem. only thing about that is that it only reboots once in a few days so it would take a looooot of time and I wouldn't be sure.
or maybe I could uninstall all of the apps and use a phone for a few days to see if this happens again. and then start searching for a particular app that causes reboot, if it doesn't reboot without apps
but it's too much time consuming for one man (or even a few) that need that phone for everyday use.
I guess if somebody doesn't post a solution I will have to wait until I install custom ROM.
or maybe really post a problem to SE - I don't believe they will do anything about it but maybe it's good if they know people are not happy with their phones.
Got to think about it
Dare-Devil Inside thank you for your help. I appreciate it.
I already downloaded everything I need a few days ago, except the ROM itself.
but if I need some kind of advice I will contact you
I also remember having some reboots when i used the stock rom...
Believe it or not, from the last month that nobodyatall found the sd card removed problem, custom roms are the best... not to mention dioxanh's modules...
I also believe that custom roms may still become better...
Yours GreatApo

They ARE better.
Look this way: we have fully functional custom roms with NO bugs (ok, tiny bugs like compass not working in gmaps and DSP manager is broken) and it's Froyo-based wich automatically means it's better than stock wich is Eclair. Overall, it's much more stable, smoother and faster to use than stock.
Also, custom ROMs are very smooth now (thanks to doixanh and his MDDI lag fix)
And an another thing: no self-reboots at all... when my phone slows down I use ATK and Speed Boost. (Or Fast Reboot app)
Also I run Cachemate once a week.
@kulen: so, before installing custom, root your phone and remove RoadSync and other unused system apps. (Don't uninstall Google apps, phone.apk and similiar)
EDIT:
P.S.: PM me, but in Croatian please, I'm sick of English
I thought all of the SE stuff would be gone when I update custom ROM?
and what app should I use instead of Roadsync for syncing mail with exchange server?
All apps that I found needs to be payed. HTC has exchange support in mail app so maybe some ROM with sense UI could have it included?
I also like Croatian more but this stuff may be useful to others also, so it's better to write in forum.
I'll PM you when I'll have some specific (and I'm sure I'll have) questions that others shouldn't be bored with.

In stock Email app, when you go to log-in, after entering adress and password, it asks you "What type of an account is this?" - One option is Exchange
So, I think stock ROM also have same (or similiar) email app (not gmail) as custom roms so you could try it and see does it works.
If it works, you can update to custom and use that for syncing.
Basically, our email app also supports syncing, like HTC. (seems to support - try first)
By the way: When flashing custom, there's an option backup. So, just before flashing back up your current OS, and flash new one. If you don't like it, or something you need does not work, you can easily go back to your stock ROM and continue using phone as before.

It didn't ask me anything, and I can only chose POP3 or IMAP from menus.
so I guess it could be Froyo stuff if you have that option? or ROM cookers included app from some other phone that supports Exchange natively.

I installed custom ROM. Racht's Floyo 0.20
I had one self reboot, but right after I installed it and configured mail so I'll consider it's no problem if it doesn't happen again.
camera doesn't work and screen need some time to become bright enough.
everything else seems to be working. so I'll be using it for some time now.

I am a new member and I cant post reply to the development thread. So sorry that i have to post a new thread here.
@TheWhisp I have some comment about the ROM. It works well on everything. ever since i never met wifi tethering problem or white screen
But i two major problem with it. Most game like one of my favourite one 'Spartan Wars: Empire Of Honor' cant be played although i installed adobe flash player and i miss it so much guess theres a problem with the system.
Secondly is although official JB has no suport on flash player but i hope you make a builtin patch of flash player in it instead of us downloading it manually as it is so annoying bout cant play flash on browser.
thirdly, the built in messaging have problem downloading/ auto retrieving mms. i cant download pictures ppl sent to me. the operator just says i have a new mms and have to view it online in computer. however, last time the official GB rom mms works well. beside, i try installing third party sms apps like iphone messages (paid) or go sms pro but they work a while then after few moment or a day, they stop working. when i click on them, a black background just pop up and stay there forever instead of showing to apps interface. hope fix could be done.
Thank you a lot for all the help in developing JB for S6500... appreciate i hope i can continue give feedback bout problem related to the ROM... :3
Hello
I tried to find the answer to this, but could not find what Im was looking after.
I dont like the HTC stock gallery very much, I cant choose witch folders it should look for pictures in, it drags in everything from everywhere and it is really annoying.
I wish I could remove it, because QickPic does everything I want.
But as far as I understand, HTC does not allow 3rd party apps to be uses as source for mms media anymore, so I cant remove the stock gallery....
I use Android HD Revolution, very nice, but in 12.1 I had the option to remove Sense all together, but in the latest version that option is removed (maybe this is a restriction from HTC? I dont know) and I use Nova Launcher, I dont like Sense 5 so much.
Is it any way to safely remove Sense all together this days, use stock Android GUI or something?
Or possible to use other galleries for mms?
I was looking for a google edition of 4.2 as I some apps I use does not seems to work correct under 4.3 yet, but cant seems to find that.
Sorry if I have not looked good enough around.
Hi again
I found a solution that worked for me, I write it down here so everyone in the same position as me can see it:
-I tried the GE edition but I did not like it, Titanium backup did not wanted to restore my apps ether.....or the data.
-So I reinstalled 4.2.2 Android HD Revolution
-I found, luckily enough, ROM Cleaner
-That helped me a lot, but left the galleri and SMS/MMS problem intact, so I installed both Go SMS Pro and QickPic and then removed stock Galleri.
-Now things works like I want it to, and I dont need to use that annoying HTC Galleri app. I wish HTC would let their SMS app use 3.rd party galleries, but GO SMS is very neat too.
Hope this can help others that is annoyed on the stock galleri as Im.
