Android 2.1 vanilla on evo 4g?

Hey guys, I know about the whole "disabling sense" trick in the manage applications folder.
But I was wondering if it were possible to take all sense related things off of my evo completely?
I switched to this phone from the Droid thinking I would really enjoy sense but in all honest I don't.
Aside from updating to the hacked 2.2 Rom. I was wondering if there was a version of 2.1 for the evo that still allowed the camera to work (I use it numerous times a day and haven't really changed roms much because of it.)

No, there is not a full AOSP rom for the EVO. As far as I know at least. Darch has a full AOSP rom for the hero, but doesn't develop for the evo. (Not yet )
The best you can do would be disable sense, or flash a rom with "sense removed" which basically means they have replaced the top bar and launcher. From there you can simply install AOSP apps (mail, sms, phonebook, browser, etc) The only thing that you cannot change without an AOSP full rom would be in call. That will stay Sense.

Look in my sig..not the evolution rom the other one..its the closest 2.1 rom that has the most sense crap taken out that I can find.

Thanks man, ill definitely try it out

For those that don't want Sense

So the best android build so far is defintely is the Stone series w/ Sense IMO. But if you don't want the Sense home screen just install Launcher Pro from the market. Then disable Sense, click the menu (windows) button, choose Applications, choose manage application, find Sense and clear defaults. Click the home button and you will be prompted to choose a launcher, select Launcher Pro. Done.
You still have the HTC keyboard and dialer, which is what I prefer, you cannot use HTC widgets, but lose the HTC Launcher. Best of both worlds for myself.

yeah...

I'm sure "Most people" don't know about Android after just coming over from WinMo. Just sharing what I just figured out and there is no faster/ stable build to choose from.

is there a way to install a sense build and change the apps loader to something like launcher pro and at the same time use the widgets such as friendstream and news fro htc sense?
i would like that to very much happen but was unable to do so when i tried it on a sense build..

is there a way to change the people app to the default froyo contacts?

^what he said!

is there a way to have everything be stock froyo?

is there a way to have everything be stock froyo?

wow, this thread is going no where...

agree........

Sense vs senseless roms

Are senseless roms for people who use different launchers? So if I use LPP for example, it'd be better if I used a senseless rom? Does sense drain battery/impact performance? Thanks a lot. Switching from a fascinate and trying to learn the basics.

To be honest, senseless roms are for people who like to have the close to stock experience or wish to use apps/widgets a-la-carte and want the flexibility to try different combinations of these without having the rom be saddled with bloatware.
Keep in mind though that senseless roms dont look as pretty as sense based roms and many features that a sense rom offers like messaging, email widgets have no real or good parallels in the stock/senseless world. So in getting flexibility you lose some really nice features and well the phone looks plainer.
I have had to work very hard to make CM & MIUI work for me by using 3rd party apps/widgets - wasnt easy finding good ones! Sense roms (especially the desire z ports) on the other hand had everything I needed and then some.
That was my personal experience.

Yes, yes and yes!
However you would also want to flash a different kernel, and IMHO it would make your rom quicker than stock. By the term senseless keep in mind these are still sense based roms but without rosie ans some other things defined by the individual DEV.

Thanks for your guys responses. I only use LPP so Rosie would be of no use to me. The problem I see with senseless roms is that they don't seem to be updated as much as sense ones. And which one would you recommend to use, skyraider's or Lou's. I would guess they are pretty similar. can't wait to receive my incredible on Friday

i'm using lous w/ kernal#4 so far no problems. Find it much quicker than the sense roms i was using before.
If you use 3rd party for most apps (chomp for message, gmail for email, lp for launcher) there really isn't much use for a sense rom IMO.
+ Lous has the smooth icons and still the sense lock screen, fine by me.
Enjoy owning the best phone in the world!

I would say Lou's hands down, of course I'm sure you will find other opinions on here. He does great work! and dresses his roms up nice.
As you become more familiar with flashing roms and what you can and cannot remove from a rom it is fairly easy (at least I think it is) for you to flash for example I use Lou's 2.1.3 rom and remove whatever you don't like on the rom. This way there are many options and you can get it just the way you want.
If you decide to jump into this you might want to consider getting some nice apps. I use Root Explorer, Titanium Backup, AppBrain, Adfree on a reg basis. I save my contacts to my SD card as well. This way I can switch between roms as I please have all my info stored and can swith basicly within a hour to a different flavor whenever I want. Oh and yes I use LPP on all my roms as well.
Hope this helps some

lou's sense-less and kernal #04 or 06 work for me. Ive grown very tired of sense.. what is it now 4 or so years between WM and android.lol though I do have to say running sense on teh DINC by far was the best exp.. no lag and it was smooth.. but I like options..so senseless made more sense to me.. keep the base.. and customize the launcher without the bloat..lol

Always loved Redemptive by Lou.

Virtuous is the best sense app I've used and I've tried em all. Mounting, GPS, everything works and its fast. I use a sense Rom cause I like the messaging. I HATE that stupid Ass smiley instead of a return key you see in all the non-sense roms and I don't want to use an extra app to text!

I think he's referring to a vanilla keyboard rather than a "senseless" keyboard.

[rom request] Vanilla makes Sense...

Ok... there are a nice hand full of "sense-less" sense roms out right now, Athena being my favorite of these. But once upon a time, before Incdoes blew up into a monster dev (then crashed and burned) he did the complete opposite. He had his "Best of both worlds" AOSP rom with sense stuff in it (rom thread here) This was my favorite rom at that time.... I like AOSP but also like a lot of the sense... i know i'm not the only one who feels the same, so can this be done now with GB? Hope someone with the skills tries this cuz i think people would like this also......
I still have his v2.0 and v2.1 if someone wants to take a look at them and try for them selves.....

hey stoney.....i would love to try it out...still looking for something different...and I never tried it when he was around...was digging his DesireZ, and am still running it to this day, even though i can't access internal memory...where can I get it?

I agree. I LOVED that rom. Sense widget support with a stock launcher (and feel) for me would be ideal. Great idea trying to bring something of this caliber back!

Edit: Disregard

The only thing I miss from Sense is the camera app. Widgets etc. I never really cared for. The Sense camera is amazing though.

I'd love to pull is HTC Flashlight and Camera apps for AOSP Gingerbread

bump cuz i want this!!!!!!!

It seems like the think in that rom that worked were just apks werent they?
Most HTC apks should be installable still. Im not sure if that rom used actually sense widgets or not.

I think there are framework issues. Especially since HTC has not released their gingerbread update yet. Even then, I'm sure its proprietary.

Khanam also posted 2.3 in the original thread. This may help whoever wants to take this over.

found 2.3 in my office pc. its 77.25mb. here is the link. should work. flashing it was finicky when i flashed it way back so dont be surprised if you get FCs. also how i got it to work was by flashing it over cm6. maybe it was just me

welcome to xda!
if you go into settings>applications>manage applications> choose touchwiz launcher and tap reset defaults then press home key you will be asked to choose launcher and you can checkmark save as default to make reg laucher gb of course your main launcher.
then theres always development forum here that you'll find a ton of replacements for everything tw you dont like!

well i see i have a stockGB verison from the android dev. page and it still have the samsung interface like i dont like the swype and all that i like stock android on my phone not no samsung stuff im a stock user i want the orginal verisons.. you know what im saying??? lol but i want to try maken my own rom just for stock.

Install CM7 then...

and is there a update ei22?

You can update your modem from EC05 to official EI22 and then use CM7. And also to OP can you maybe not make a subject like you just bricked your phone or it caught fire? Seems a little extreme for just not liking Touchwiz. Thanks.
