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
Ok so my question is, is it possible to compile a zip file that contains the HTC apps and widgets sorta like cyanogen did with Google apps. I am on Leo Rom and I don't wanna flash desire Rom I just want the apps and widgets.

easy answare: No
we all want the nice Calendar & Friendstream from Sense on our Rom but no chance without Sense... the only thing we have allready ported to work without Sense is the HTC_IME Keyboard..
There is a Q&A section....for Questions where you get answers...hint
Does anyone have a functional touchwiz calendar on miui?
i hate the miui one.. i looks so much confusing and the graphics looks ugly
the miui calendar is the only app with a bad ui but much options...
I tried to push the touchwizcalender apk to system/app but somehow i killed
the miui calender and after an calender recovery my calender disappeared
any solutions for this?
TouchWiz apps make use of the TW framework, which is part of the stock Samsung ROMs. If you want to use a TW app on a ROM that isn't based on the stock Samsung ROM, you will need the framework to be built into the ROM. MIUI is based on AOSP, and as such does not contain the TW framework, so unless some devs are able to port TW apps over with the framework, I'm afraid you can't use the TouchWiz calender on your MIUI ROM.
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)

Hmmmz, it seems i dont have proper root access anymore ?
superuser works, but i cant set r/w permission in /system, only read access ...
trying to find bug ...
This may be a weird question but can you run launchers with custom ROMs? I downloaded Go Launcher EX and I believe I ran into some problems with that app and beautiful widgets app. Would it be a problem between those to apps or my eclipse ROM? Thanks for any help
Sounds like your new to this.
In short, yes. You can use different launchers on roms, presumably any. Just like you can replace your launcher on any stock phone I've ever used with one from market.. ADW,GOlauncher,Nova .. etc.
I'm not familiar with eclipse rom but there "should" be no issues. If you are having issues I would try clearing app data from withing app manager for your problematic apps/launchers.
