evo rom like nexus one??

hey guys im a noob here but i have searched all over..
im looking for a nexus one froyo rom for the evo...
i want evenything to stay the way it is i just want the launcher like the nexus one and the main menu to look like the nexus one froyo.
i know launcher pro has it but i cant add htc widgets to it..
any advice would be appreciated.

CM6 (cyanogen)

o you can't have the htc widgets without sense so if thats what you're really looking for you're stuck using sense. thats the only launcher that allows those widgets

Just out of curiosity, which sense widgets can't you live without?

The thing with cyanogen is that it uses ADW launcher.. some fav it. some dislike it.. i personally dislike it, ill rather have basic 2.2 launcher like the nexus one.

Ohhh, give it a shot.. you might like it.. I like, MUCH better than the sense crap. You can use it with Cyano.

I like Zeam launcher.
It's light weight and crazy fast.
And it's home cooked by an xda modder!

Yeah Launcher Pro and beautiful widgets go together. ADW launcher just got to much of useless stuff for me
EDIT :And BTW. this should be moved in the Questions thread.

It's not about the rom, it's about wanting a home application that isn't Sense to be able to use Sense's widgets. The standard Nexus One launcher is included in even the stock rom, but you won't be able to load Sense's widgets onto it.
I have one recommendation, check out LauncherPro Plus. It comes with some of its own awesome widgets. They are honestly as good as Sense's calendar, people, bookmarks, and messages widgets. In fact, they look almost too much like a direct copy. You can scroll inside of them and even resize them. If those are the ones you want to keep, LauncherPro is what you want. In every other way, it is much like the stock launcher on Nexus One.
You will lose Friend Stream, but there are other widgets that can approximate that.

I reread your post. You asked for a Nexus One main screen and launcher. By main screen, do you mean the lockscreen? The one you have to drag your finger on to unlock your phone? If not, the home screen and list of programs are both handled by the launcher.
Here is what I would recommend:
Rom:
Cyanogen Mod 6 - It will make all of the menus and applications feel just like what you get on Nexus One.
Apps:
Fancy Widget - It looks and feels exactly like the HTC weather & clock widget that is the default on the main screen.
LauncherPro Plus - CM6 comes with ADW Launcher, which is pretty close to the vanilla Nexus One launcher, but LauncherPro Plus has its own widgets that look and function almost exactly like HTC's widgets.

I think you may want to clarify exactly what you want. As far as I understood the opening question, it was pretty well answered.
Currently CM6 is the only ROM that is not based on the HTC Sense stock ROM. It is instead based on the open source Android code, just like the Nexus One. There are a few tweaks that Cyanogen has added, like some extra settings, different boot screen, and some cosmetic tweaks. It also uses ADW launcher by default.
However you could just install the stock launcher on cyanogen mod, and other than the settings widget having blue highlights, you are pretty much at stock.
There is no way to use the HTC Sense widgets with anything besides the Sense launcher.
If all you care about is the launcher and lock screen, you can install just about any 2.2 rom, remove htclockscreen from /app/system, install the stock launcher, and you are done. In that case you would still have the HTC messaging, browser, calendar, etc.

Launcher pro plus vs. sense?

Question. If I am using sense but have a launcher pro setup does it in any way run in the background and drag down performance and battery. Im a huge fan of both and am having a hard time doing away with one or the other. Any input obj this would be greatly appreciated

I dont know if it slows anything down but I do know that I wont use anything else but launcher pro. I luv luv luv it. so many screen and dock settings. I haven't noticed it being any slower. By the way, if you have launcher pro plus I would like to know what the big difference is from regular plus.

One of the biggest reasons I bought plus, was to be able to resize my widgets on my home screen. I'm not certain what other features it gives you.

LauncherProPlus and the Sense Launcher are mutually exclusive apps. if you use one you dont need the other...so why are you still using both?
once I went with LPP i never went back. i can confirm that Sense runs in the background. I completely removed the sense launcher and almost anything else that was sense, since you can't use any sense widgets on LPP. everything is working fine for me

I prefer ADW, but I just wanted to say in calkulins ROM thread he has a zip that will remove sense for you. I used it on his rom and MYNS WORM 2.2 without any issues.

Awesome guys. Thanks for the input. To my knowledge there are only two versions of launcher. There is pro and pro plus. I have calks remove sense zip. Ive been going back and forth with sense and lpp for a while now. I think im gonna fully jump on board with the lp band wagon.

Is there any way to disable / kill the sense process (without having root and running a ROM without sense)?

Why not root. With the newest version of unrevoked, it gives you full root. S-off, nand unlocked. And if you need to turn in your phone you just flash the stock non rooted rom. Root gives you so much more! Just my 2 cents

My fix for the notification bar was to check the option to hide it. That really dressed up the screen.

I'm a big fan of LPP too. Sense will run in the background unless you remove it (such as using the above mentioned script). If you just Kill Sense, it will come back so that isn't really an option.

Launcher Pro is a great Home replacement. Like Sense. I was just asking what the popular to go about using it was. Like do all LPP (Launcher Pro Plus is the paid version, 1.99, well worth it) remove sense, i mean you cant use anything sense related inside LP ie. widgets. If it runs it in the background why keep it

use titanium backup and freeze sense

I strip Sense out of the ROM's I use. I used to use LPP, but have switched to Go Launcher.

The best cure to keep sense out of your rom is to go with CM6

going with CM is a surefire way of going senseless. but sense based rom are better period. why? you get full use of your Evo! hdmi and 4g. Im on Calks Evio2 rom using LPP and then ran calks remove sense zip and i have never had better battery life. 31 hours with 5% left at plug in.
As for getting sense back. just reboot into recover, wipe cache and dalvik 3x each and reflash whatever rom you had to begin with. wont change anything except give you have the sense launcher.
the best setup for LP is to flash Myns themed LP zip, and then update from the market. then remove sense. this gives you great looking widgets. if you use plus anyways. im always open to help. so pm if needed or hit me up here

Well sense is slower due to the fact its "packed". Well I really like sense, it looks really good. Love the wigets the most but I like cyan more because.... umm I just like it better lol.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Sense widgets aren't as fast, but I do love the Sense clock app, the Sense clock widget, contacts widget and photo gallery widget.
the calendar widget is very laggy compared to Launcher Pro, and the actual dock/launcher bar at the bottom is a very wasteful way to use precious screen real estate. I mean - who really needs such a large button for the phone?
Launcher Pro/ADW Ex and other launchers make it really easy to save screen space by having scrollable launcher/docks...but with Sense it just wastes space.
I am using a GingerVillain ROM with ADW Ex and it works pretty well. But I am missing some of those Sense apps/widgets!

cyanogenmod is faster ,has better battery life,its more up to date and is more customizable.
sense/virtouos has much better apps and widgets such as camera,contacts,keyboard,phone,etc...
it really comes down to personal preferences.
I personally have set them both exactly the way i like and installed all the
apps that i need on them and made a back up so i regulary change between
them whenever i feel like it.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I like Sense better now than Vanilla. I have been using the vanilla for a long time now and then tried switching to sense a week ago and I love it.
I'm not a fan of the sense homescreen though but I love the camera app, phone app, gallery, and the minor quirks you get with it.
The only downside though is that IMO it drains twice as fast as stock.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Sense, no question. The superior camera, music, and contacts apps are a no-brainer, IMO. I don't use the Sense launcher, though - LauncherPro for me. I tried Cm7 and honestly didn't see that big of a difference. I get 12-15hours of moderate use with Virtuous v1.0, which is the best Sense ROM out there.

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

CM is definitely faster, mainly because its built for that, specifically. Sense is built to give a better user experience. Apples and Oranges. With the stock Virtuous kernel, I don't notice a significant speed difference vs CM.

Without sense. No question.
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app

Is there any way to get the alarm clock to put a notification in the notification bar on the Sense UI like it does in the Vanilla ROMs? Everytime I hit snooze I wonder if I hit the right button. I'm currently using Virtuous v1.0.0 for the G2/DZ.

I like the sense over the "vanilla" the G2 came with. I've been using virtuous since the day it came out and have loved it. I haven't used CM but I' am comfortable with sense

i currently use MIUI but i loved sense when i used it the only thing i didint like was that you couldnt get it to not autocap , i know it sounds stupid but its really one of my pet pev's , i switch back and forth from now & again but does anyone know how to make it so it doesent autocap on sense virtu rom ?

Sense widgets in adw launcher framework?

I had asked a similar question before but didn't get a clear answer, is there any way to add sense based widgets into adw launchers framework or any file at that to apply them wile running it? I figured it was possible because the .apks run but when I try to add a widget they aren't listed. Any help is much appreciated.
warmZcomb™

I've never been able to do this myself and I've tried a few times....I believe it probably can't be done because sense widgets are baked in as part of sense launcher. It'd be like trying to use launcher pro widgets in got sense UI. They're two separate entities each with their own goodies. I know you can get sense like widgets off the market. But anyways my belief is you can't do this but if you discover otherwise please let me know

Nope, they're tied to Rosie, I'm sure.
Use Launcherpro and Beautiful Widgets. Together, they create a very very close imitiation of Rosie. Beautiful Widgets has the people widget and Calendar widget that look exactly like Sense.
And if you like the clock, use Fancy Widget. A whole combination of these on a different ROM will make you think you're using Sense

Best Toggle Switch Program?...

Title says it all. I have seen a bunch of them, but haven't really found any good reviews of them all... e.g. a comparison. What do you all use?

Personally, I find the built in HTC ones to be the best I've used. Beautiful Widgets has some but I think they're not quite as good as HTC's.

I agree with frankspin; I have tried beautiful widgets but I find I prefer HTC's also.

A year ago I would have agreed but I think you need to give it another go this time around. It's much improved from 1.5.
