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

Hai Guise.
I've tried three different Froyo ROMs from A.Development now and all of them work fine except for one niggle.
Google Listen doesn't seem to see my Google Account sync on startup and as such, won't work as it needs to sync with Google Reader.
Listen is one of my most-used apps and there isn't a replacement even nearly good enough to replace it on the market. Does anyone know a fix or workaround?
Thanks.
EDIT: Ah, I see there is another thread on this topic which remains unanswered. Sorry.
If anyone is interested, I've found that Doggcatcher comes close to replacing Listen, but at a cost of £6.99
It was me who posted I am glad I'm not a lone it doesn't work on sense versions or asop versions grrr

Ok so here's my QUESTION/PROBLEM
I just flashed into cyanogenmod using snapturbo 7.6
My question is when I was using fresh I had the HTC smart dial that predicts who you are trying to call and the "people " widget/Client that links your Facebook contacts profile pic to your contacts..
In cyanogenmod it doesn't have that.. is there an update that I need to get to fix this.. also the E-mail client is not the same.. did someone have the same problem and fix it? It seems like I downgraded when I flashed to cyanigenmod.. or am I missing something?

The cm6 dialer is diffrnt. Try dialerone.
And u sync via the fb app
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo
You switched from your boyfriend Tom to cyanogen? I thought cyanogen was married.
Thanks let me check that out

had the same problem when i was a sense head...
basically... htc sense is a skin over what android was 'meant' to look like.... no its not a downgrade because you do not have the 'pretty skinned widgets'
for alike or better alternatives, look into (if you use it) launcher pro's widgets.... or you can use something like pure widgets (messenger, music, calendars etc etc), jorte and android agenda widget are great as well
Thanks will those Widgets "update" to the Tom I used to use in Sense

So, After much research.. I went back to Fresh rom.. although Im not going to be able to run 7.6 Snapturbo im willing to sacrifice that , because I just really got used to the Sense way of life
I love the latest CM 7 - with the 2.3 Ginerbread
The only thing that is keeping me from it is the email client
and I like the email client - but for two things - no Zoom in, and no inlined graphics.
The Sense email is pretty slick - and has those features - but I would rather be running CM and I cant install the sense mail.apk
K9 only uses WebDav - and would prefer the Exchange sync natively.
Touchdown - is just so-so - and would rather not spend $30 for it.
Does anyone think the CM client would ever incorporate those features?

I'm not really one to promote warez but there are other ways of obtaining programs such as touchdown for free. If you want to stick with CM7 I think downloading a paid app for free is a small price to "pay"

cm-7 won't ever have the sense email client in it. i'd keep looking for a different email client that has the features you're looking for.

I really wasn't wanting the Sense email client in CM , just zoom and inlined graphics
I like the CM email in general - its just missing those features
I miss those two. But, i like CM so i sacrificed them. Is there copy option in the CM email client. I cant seem to be able to copy and paste.
Thanks

I don't know if ICS or JB with Sense will ever come to the DHD. But the reason I have never stuck with another ROM other than Android Revolution HD is because I end up missing Sense.
When people do change to a non-Sense ROM (haha, nonsense), what are you using for:
Friendstream alternative. With FS, I get both my twitter and FB feeds in one convenient widget. And I like how when a tweet has a link, if I click on the tweet, I can read the tweet and link all within FS. I don't get that with Android Pro Widget or Launcher Pro widget.
Calendar. The HTC calendar is so clean looking. I like the monthly view on a whole screen.
SMS. I know there are alternatives but many look so cartoony, not the clean interface of the HTC version.
But probably Friendstream is the big one. What are people doing?
Thanks.

DHD will be getting official ICS before the end of August
Good to see you're ditching Sense (less eyecandy: more RAM free & better performance), not sure if we have something like FS, maybe rip it from a sense ROM and install it?
Sent from my Desire HD using Swype beta for Android!
How to get a Friendstream apk? Would that install on any rooted phone?
Also, I forgot to mention a key app. Mail. The mail interface on Sense is nice and clean. On some of these other apps, like K-9, it's not as nice looking. Also, I need features like auto-BCC all emails. And what I like about Sense Mail is I have two mail accounts, one Yahoo, one POP, and both homescreen icons actually tell me how many new mails there are. What's the mail app everyone is using when they switch away from Sense?

You can't. FS requires a Sense framework to run at all. If it were that easy, someone would've done it already.

I know what you mean about Sense. I have tried as well and always came back to Sense..
A replacement for Friendstream.. Here are a couple:
- Seesmic (Facebook and Twitter)
- Multipost ( but I think Facebook doesn't work)
- HootSuite
- Tweetdeck

Yup - FS is hard to do without. However... check out APW widgets. The pro version has a friendstream widget which is a perfect replacement. The non-pro you have to have separate twitter and facebook. The calendar widget is also the best sense replacement I have found.
I'd stick with sense, but have a DZ so sense eats up too much RAM.
What I miss most in non-Sense roms is actually the camera. I tried and bought several other camera apps (360 camera, Zoom FX), but none seem as fast or polished as the Sense camera app. Especially with regard to focussing. It autofocusses on faces or otherwise just in the center, but you can always overrule it with tap-to-focus. I haven't found this in any other camera (yet?)
perhaps its just that I have become accustomed to that camera app.
for me, that is the only app that keeps dragging me back to sense roms.

Never ever Sense
everything else is better than sense.
but the best is an stock android so like google thought it should be.
I like some things about sense and have had my days where I missed it a little. But IMO after I used jelly bean its pure Google for me from now on. Thanks for the alternatives!

*Sigh* yes it is unique.... at least.
Did i miss it the last 18 months? .... This gonna be a hard decissi..... Nope!
Miui has nice style and good cam, too and runs like a kitten on crack :cyclops:
Even though,in my opinion, Miui is no competition to latest ics/jellybean vanilla feeling.
I like Sense for Calendar, Mail, and (mosttly) intuitive dialler. Maybe except mail, no replacements. Therefore, Sense ROMs.
Every time I try switching I keep coming back. The simple Email icons for my two email addresses, it shows the number of NEW messages. I tried Kaiten Mail and the ugly mail icon (looks like a fire hydrant), shows UNREAD messages. The problem with Unread messages is that for my POP email address, I read on my computer, or my phone. So my POP email on my phone is basically all Unread. So the icon shows me 99 Unread all the time. Useless. I just want to see NEW messages, and that's what my simple Sense 3.5 does. Sense is just better.
For Friendstream, if I click a tweet with a link to an article, the article opens up in Friendstream. With other apps like Android Pro Widgets, you have to click the link to the article and open up your browser. Grrrrrr.
