The awesome developers who provide the Sense ROMs that we can run this against.
-
Scott Crosler who provided me a list of apps to remove.
-
danutzz for the original DeSense scripts at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382630
-
Quantumrabbit who collected and maintains a list of Sense 3.6 APKs that are safe to remove at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532366
-
Removes bloat from HTC and Verizon on any Verizon Sense 3.6 or Sense 4.0 ROM. (NB: only tested on the Rezound ROMs)
-
Install AOSP APKs for Browser, Calendar, Calculator, Email (see stock_aps directory)
-
Reboots the phone before FCs kick in
-
Make a Nandroid backup
-
Install the Sense ROM of your choice
-
Install a launcher and keyboard of your choice (I like Nova Launcher and SwiftKey)
-
Connect the device to USB and enable debug
If you have not done any of these steps do not use this script!
-
download the .zip file github.com/muness/Rezound-DeSense/zipball/master
-
expand it
-
Run desense.bat
-
Get adb working on your machine. If you need help, see wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK.
-
Download the .zip file github.com/muness/Rezound-DeSense/zipball/master
-
Expand it
-
Run ./desense.sh
-
You don’t get AOSP status bar
-
You don’t get AOSP dialogs
-
You don’t get AOSP dialer or Phone or People app
-
You need to wipe data from the Google Play Store app
-
There’s still some HTC Sense stuff here. e.g. Camera, Gallery, Personalize setting.
-
Make this script work on .zip files instead of a running phone
-
Probably won’t work because first time setup files will be missing.
-
Would also require adding a launcher.
