Description:
The goal of Uncommon Sense is to provide a tastefully customized rom with an oem feel. The ROM's backbone is based off of the official froyo v3.21.605.1 build for the incredible. Packed with one-of-a-kind modifications and user experience enhancements, this may very well be the most unique sense rom for the incredible. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it.

!!! FULL WIPE REQUIRED !!!
Download v1.1

It is normal for installation to fail when updating 'App Folders' as well as 'Adobe Flash Player'. Both of these apps have been modified and resigned INTENTIONALLY to prevent market updates. Turn off auto-update for these applications. I will update them in the rom when the updates have been tested and are ready to go.

What rom are you presently running? The most stable sense roms I've used where everything just works and works well are virtuous and skyraider and UncomSense. But even these have a few small bugs. Heck even stock froyo has more bugs then these :D

Sense dialer.

However I'm having problems with flash and hulu. hulu wont work and flash is not installed. It fails when I try to install flash from the market.

This has been tested EXTENSIVELY. Did you perform a full data wipe prior to flashing this rom? Restoring ANY old flash data would cause the hulu issue you are reporting. Let me know. I have had hundreds of beta testers run hulu without issue, provided you followed the wipe instruction.

And yes, the flash update through the market WILL fail, because the flash baked in this rom is modified and using different signatures. This is intentional, to ensure that an adobe flash push won't break your ability to enjoy hulu on your phone. :p

Hope we can get this worked out for you! :)

It is periodically flashing at the Uncommon sense boot screen, but NOT going back to the HTC Incredible white screen. Is this a bootloop? We are approaching 10 minutes...DOH!

Did you do a FULL WIPE including wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache? I do this every time no matter what anyone else tells me and I have a perfect track record :D

As for restoring Titanium backups yea I would only install your user apps (that you dnld'd from market) and the data within. This does NOT include flash. Take it slow play with it some before you do a Titanium restore to see how it is all working

Due to the heavy modifications I made to the htc sense framework, you should wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, anything that could be in your /data/ folder. Any existing items left behind could cause GUID or signature mismatches, and could potentially give you stability issues.

Easiest way to do this:
- If flashing through rom manager, once the rom has been downloaded and is ready to install, you should tap the 'wipe data' checkbox. (also backup current rom if you would like)

- If flashing directly through clockworkmod, select 'wipe data/factory reset' before flashing my zip.

Hope this helps.

After my restore, I tried again, this time no bootloop. This is a very nice rom.
It is funny to see all of the mods I applied to SkyRaider are native in this rom. The only feature not on this rom that I had put on SR is the Smooth Sense circle battery, which caused me a bootloop. FYI to those who try to flash that Mod!!
Any suggestions on a custom kernel for this badboy?

Thanks and to the Devs, Keep the hits coming!!!
