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

Thoughts on MIUI Rom

I'm sure I will get flamed but here goes anyway. Everyone is jumping on to the MIUI bandwagon, and yes in my opinion it does have a few cool features, but not enough to win me over. Am I the only one on XDA that kind of dislikes this rom? I've tried to like it but I just can't. I like roms that tend to be more stock anyway, I think modded froyo such as enom's rom and cyanogenmod etc. have all of the features and beauty that I need. I see a lot of people saying think iOS and Android together! If I wanted iOS I would own an iPhone and not a N1.
I understand it is all preference and whatnot, but I can't be the only one who hates the MIUI interface. FM Radio cool! Interface not cool! I know I can install other launchers but to me that kind of defeats the whole purpose of running this rom.
I'm not going to mess with it anymore, I just wanted to give it a chance.
Am I the only one who doesn't care for this rom?
Sorry for the rant

It's okay. I dont hate or like it

Haven't tried it. It looks nice and well done but the iOS styling doesn't draw me in
Think I'm gonna try it, but I'm with you flapjaxx

Probably.. I just don't see what the big deal is about this rom. I posted in the general forum so I am allowed to express an opinion/vent a little about a rom thats getting a lot of attention and I personally don't see what all the hype is about.
By the way you did read and reply to my thread.

Yea you're correct in stating that installing other launchers defeats the purpose. I liked it for about a week but went back cyan...now i'm on micromods hybrid...for me the sense roms got me hyped up. If the Mui wasnt iphone'd up then it would actually be really sweet but that whole iphone thing just ruins the experience and awww of having an android device

I agree with you OP. I dont like it at all. Now the fact they made a new UI is cool, but like OP said, if I wanted iOS, I would have bought an iPhone

haha fair enough.
I am not too big on the iphone icons either. However, I do like the lock screen, speed, and the battery life.
Also it isnt as obvious as in cyan, but it does have .flac support and will stop playing music when you disconnect. However it will not play upon reconnecting.

The lock screen is slick. It does seem speedy, I can't confirm battery life only because I wasn't able to use it long enough to really wear on a battery. I do appreciate that there are so many choices with custom roms and the dev team that created this rom has obviously worked hard and it shows. That is the beauty of android, so many choices. It is a very pretty rom no doubt, but I just prefer a more stock type interface.

The MIUI ROM looks nice, but I also prefer a stock, simple look. Im happy to see them pushing the envelope though.

the big hype is because MIUI is a complete overhaul, different than what we are used to. Sometimes a change once in awhile is good, and MIUI is a great change I jump from cyan to MIUI. FM radio, lockscreen, and the UI is amazing, I do prefer different style icons but that's about it

It's a very, very optimized ROM. Battery life, speed, the super-neat toggles in the notification tray. You can just install another launcher and still benefit from all of the above plus the great lock screen, FM radio, and excellent phone/SMS/contact apps.

I Agree, with launcher it's really a nice rom !!
I like the resent part who include a task killer.

I like the UI, but i miss a few features from CM.
CM with the MIUI launcher would be great.

And who told you that you have to use it and are not allowed to use anything else???
If you don't like it use something different. Whats the problem?
I don't like pink colored t-shirts so i don't wear them. I don't blame anybody else that wears pink t-shirts. I don't tell anyone that I hate them. I just don't wear them.
Same thing for you, if you don't like MIUI Rom don't use it. Try it, if you don't like it restore nandroid backup and forget about it...
And shut up, keep it for yourself that you don't like it.

Umm...dont use it then?

Just want to say I tried the port for my Inc, but went back to cm6.
Though I don't feel as if its my flavor of ROM, I do want to say it is very innovative, and probably the first (at least on ROMs for the Inc) of its kind to really truly redesign the interface.
So while I don't use it, I would definitely like to see more transformations of this kind.

Well i guess you have a wrong concept of the MIUI rom. It is not because of the launcher ppl like the rom. But because of the tweaks. till now there are no roms to my knowledge where you could change the lockscreen within the android os. ( i am not talking of 3rd party apps like widget locker....., here it's different. it's the native one being modified. ) we havent been able to change native phone and contact.apk, we were just applying themes. but the MIUI is different. Even when you go to settings in the menu, you'll observe how things get snappier and all bouncy. Not to mention the little menu's in the lockscreen ( now being seen in the sense HD), answer&reject mods when receiving calls... and the FM radio which were unknown and still being documented in the xda community. Basically everything has been modifies here, even the mms.apk.
so i guess it is wrong to make such an assumption based only on the launcher which ressembles the iphone. I have been using the MIUI with launcher pro and I had amazing battery life.
If you do not like a rom , just don't use it. Why dont u make another thread saying that rodriguezstyle is too greenish or micromod's roms are too glassy ( sorry chefs , lol . it was just to make my point). or maybe somebody else should start another thread saying i hate stock looking roms! Of course you can come up with all these talks that xda is a community forum, everybody has the right to bla bla bla , democracy.... and you do have the right but it is all about MANNERS and RESPECT here! You do not critise someone's work ( which you are getting for free btw) just because of ur taste!!

[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!

WOuld this rom be able to use the sense facebook and such?

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.
khanam said:
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

It's an Android user interface, much like HTC Sense is to Android or Samsung Touch Wiz is to Android and so forth.

Got it.
Thanks.
One more question;
Is it the next step in Sense evolution or just an alternative to Sense?

its like wearing a tracksuit or a suit, in the end, its still you underneath...

So Sense is a casual outfit while MIUI is a tux.
A new outfit for androids closet.
Has anyone tried it out yet?

MIUI is a look like IPhone interface but with android body.

A better question is why you posting this in here????
Please read forum titles before choosing which one to post in.

Lets keep this post. But wud be good if a mod can move to the Q&A fori.
MIUI is an iPhone look alike. The interface is fast and smooth. But i reflashed into another. Not cos i dont like the ROM or the Chef. But IMHO i ****ing dont like the iPhone interface. When you look at iPhone what you see is tons of icons which you cant move here and there to create a cool homescreen.
Just in case, if i have hurt any iFans. Lemme say the iPhone 4 is a real killer. But when it comes to my HD2, its the huntee. Equipped with Android....iPhone 4 shud be afraid...very very afraid.

You have to follow the rule, this is not the place to ask this question.
Google it before you post, you can easily find the MIUI website and you will get all you need to know about MIUI from there...

MIUI is more like a homebrew UI rather than a corporate product. It isn't really an alternative to Sense in that it's not a launcher you can install on a Sense-based ROM or any other ROM like you can with alternative launchers. MIUI generally comes cooked into Android ROMs. And it is almost identical to iOS. It would be more accurate to consider MIUI an iOS with widgets.

Fair enough question which was answered efficiently, could a Mod please move this thread to Q&A, it's useful for others with the same question.

MIUI
hey guys, i still didn't find a answer to my question: does have any advantage on speed or something like that by use MIUI rom replacing the original android?
Thanks every one

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.

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.
