So, I want a clean install of a stock Android rom for my Legend. I've had the Hero and I've had to wait for the updates. I like SENSE, but It's not a necessity for me. A lot of apps give same or better functionality to the phone than SENSE does.
I just want to be able to install the latest greatest straight from Google.
What you want. ISN'T POSSIBLE ON THIS PHONE!
em Yes it is,
Lots of sense free G1 and Hero Roms can be ported to the Legend. It just hasn't been done yet.
I am in the process of porting G1 Froyo Beta, but it isn't ready yet.
OR you can turn the Sense UI off!!!
and u will get the basic android 2.1 UI.
goto settings then applications and turn it off there.
i hope that helps!
I've found that Sense is glossy-bloat ware and I don't want it on my phone anymore. I'll search around and if a solution isn't within reach, I'm getting the Nexus istead.......annoys the heck out of me that I didn't in the first place, seeing the experience I had with the Hero (getting 2.1 NOW).
hmm i prefer sense i see it as the best GUI over android!
I'm working on a clean build based on:
- MoDaCo Custom ROM for the HTC Legend online kitchen - r2
- LauncherPro (nice Home Screen)
- HTC Dialer
- HTC Camera
- Removing All other HTC apps (peep, stock..ecc.. since i we have better apps on market)
p.s. actually its working but i need to fix some. Anyone got the apk with original LockScreen?

I want to get rid of that!
I meant Google Eclair Lock Screen.
Ahah, sorry, missunderstood you
I've been looking into that problem with lockscreen, and the Eclair version is not kept in an apk. It is in the android.policy.jar.
Im working on getting it working with my senseless rom
I have been wanting to have a AOSP/Vanilla type lockscreen on my HTC for some time now.
In the process of doing this, I have tried alternatives:
WidgetLocker
The MOD listed here
Neither have worked. WidgetLocker works half of the time, and then the other half doesn't show up as the primary locker. I have set the Root 5 second override option, but that appears todo nothing.
As far as the mod, if just causes my phone to forceclose and I can't do ANYTHING when I turn it on.
How would I go about just editing the lockscreen through adb? Doing it correctly, and not causing force-close, after force-close.
If your talking about the cyanogen or froyo lock screen and your on sense I know you can go into root explorer and delete the HTC lockscreen apk if the rom is deodexed and you'll get the normal froyo lock screen that's what I did on nfinites froyo sense rom and it worked fine

The ROM isn't deodexed. It is the stock Sprint ROM without any updates.
I may look into other rom's in the future, but for now, I just want to work on this with the stock rom.
Even though it may not be deodexed, where is HTC's lockscreen files located?
I'm not sure if it will work on stock I just know that work on any deodexed sense rom
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I am not quite sure how you did that.
It doesn't work on Stock, or a Deodexed rom.
If I use ADB, Astro, or ES File Explorer.
Yes it does if you go to root explorer system apps and delete HTC lockscreen it'll go to the normal one at least that's how it was on the froyo sense rom so do it at your own risk your on stock

Hi guys !
So I was wondering if I could use Titanium to back up some apk from a Sense Rom, and use them on MIUI rom after ? (I‘m thinking HTC cam, gallery and keyboard)
Or do they need some essential codes only Sense has in order to work ?

I believe all of the apps you mentioned will require the Sense framework to run.
Aww ...
Oh well thank you anyway !
I think you can download the htc imei somewhere but for the rest, they will not work.
So, Im throwing together a rom from different sources (Nik's, Runnydroid, ARHD & CM7) to make a rom that is what i call AOSP (android open sense )
it will look like AOSP, but it will have sense core. why? because i want as AOSP as possible with a working camera. now that aside, I want to have a script running after the install finishes that makes certain settings on app's, system settings and also puts certain widgets and icons on home screens to have it as best setup as possible.
can this be done? and if yes, how?
any link to tutorial or so ...

I was thinking of the same thing and I guess it's doable after all its linux and when we have setup script for ubuntu we can certainly make it for android. However I am not a developer so will not be able to help much. I just hope some of linux or android geek might give attention to it and make it happen. Basically we need a command like apt-get in ubuntu for downloading it straight from market and some command to install from sd card. I will try myself but as said I have just little knowledge in linux (I am a mainframe developer) so i will not be of much help.
Just wait and Watch and hope for the best.

I don't know the answer to your question but your ROM is something I've wanted, I hope you release it soon Good luck!
/system/etc/init.d
Or if you want some other way, do tell me, I'll post it when by a computer
From my fingers to your eyez

Exactly, and there isn't one like this, thats why i am making it
It's almost finished though, but i really need to be able to change some of the default settings otherwise stuff won't work (for example, in settings/connect to PC, ask me should be off, otherwise usb mount does not work ...)
I also need to take some stuff out (for example, after setting 'ask me' to off by default i wanna remove the 'connect to pc' completely from the settings menu)
so far i'm keeping only sense dialer/sms,sense ereader (because its a good one), sense music player (if removed it's impossible to set a mp3 as ringtone), sense calendar, sense camera, sense browser & sense radio. All other sense stuff and widgets are removed
it will have AOSP keyboard, mail, lockscreen, gallery & deskclock and some powerapps (like titanium backup, ES file explorer etc..) and also a lot of google bloat removed
The rom will be pretty light compatred to Stock Sense and you will be able to use any launcher etc.. you want. I will include a third party sense clock/weather widget, because there is nothing better
I'm still in doubt about wether to keep or toss the sense lockscreen ...
the sense lockscreen looks better than the default one but will be useless, go with the default android one.
btw what base are you using for this ? sense 3.5 ? and why not keep the gallery app ?

base is indeed 3.5 (Nik rom), good idea about the gallery, i'm gonna keep that (handy for going from in-cam to gallery)

I.ve tried those, but they don.t work. At least not the ones with endless home screen loop.
I know your work, you.re doing a great job .
Do you have an answer why with factory reset, the system finds the tw, and after that, not?

- flash cm7
- copy the tw apk into system/app
- tw NOT working (the system doesn't recognize it)

Google fixes for cm7 nims11
Then you will have atw laumcher for cm

You can't use stock TW launcher on CM7, because CM7 don't have tw-framework. You can try to find some ported TW launcher, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324850

By "endless screen loop" you mean something like infinite scrolling? Pretty much EVERY custom launcher has it, why just don't try? I can say that almost all customized launchers are better than any stock launcher, like TW. I suggestion Holo Launcher, take a look into it.
I know. But you know the problems with ace ram memory... i.m using xperia homescreen wich is awesome. The only one without lagg.
I thought that tw, beeing optimized for ace, will run smoothly. The 2.3.4 version is ok, but i would like that "infinite..." from 2.3.6.
It.s an obsession )

In fact, TW is one of the most RAM-hungry for me. I know that being made by Samsung gives the impression that it is better, but just think that some much more powerful phones don't run touchwiz properly, at least Samsung says. You can remove the TW launcher after you've found a nice other launcher, so you don't need to worry about RAM.
