Is there a vanilla Android 2.1 or 2.2 ROM?

I just want to get rid of this Sense UI stuff. After coming from a Droid the Sense UI is very busy looking and doesn't really offer me a lot above the plain 2.1. I'd love just a vanilla Android ROM that had everything working (cameras, 4G, etc). Does such a thing exist?

Cyanogen will be out soon..I suggest following that for AOSP 2.2

I'll keep my eye on CM, wasn't sure what it was, exactly. Thanks for the reply.

The nightly builds of CM are fantastic. I've had extremely minimal issues with them, and I've been using them as my daily since they were released.

You don't need a ROM, you can turn off Sense on the Evo and use vanilla Android if you want.
From the home screen, go to settings - Applications - scroll down and choose HTC SENSE - press Remove Defaults - press Home button and you'll get a pop up asking you to choose between Sense and the stock UI, click use as default and choose stock and you're done.
You'll get default home screens, launcher, and 3D app drawer like the NEXUS ONE, on the flip side you can still use the great Sense widgets and apps.

[Q] Hybrid ROM?

I would firstly like to express my gratitude to everyone involved in making the Incredible live up to its name.
I have cycled through various ROMs, and at one point I had SkyRaider 2.5.2 Vanilla. (This is my first Android-based device, so if I use n00b terminology don't flame me to death.) The homescreen looks to be stock android, as opposed to the Sense "Themes", but I must admit, the selection of widgets is awful. I really like the HTC homescreen widgets, like the flip-clock and weather widget.
Basically put, is there a way to get the HTC Sense widgets in a vanilla flavored ROM?
I know this would require running both Sense UI and whatever would be running the stock Android home screen. I downloaded the apks and I would get an error message saying "Application not installed" when I tried to put on the HTC widgets.
(Sorry, typically I would research what exact terms I'm looking to say but I'm feeling lazy today.)
Thanks in advance!

Beautiful widgets is a good place to start. It's in the Market.

Beautiful Widgets is nice and it's really customizable. I really only wanted the Sense style flip clock with the weather, so I went with Fancy Widget.
As far as getting Sense stuff in SR Vanilla, you can do it but it takes some monkeying around with what needs to be installed in order to make other stuff work. If you're wanting Sense stuff with Vanilla styling, the best thing to do is to get a Vanilla theme. I think someone had one called tainted vanilla or something. It should lay right over the top of Sense... You'll still have the Sense launcher, but you can add another launcher app (I use ADW.Launcher) to make it feel less like Sense.

Best option if you want sense-like widgets on a Vanilla ROM is to use LauncherPro Plus and Beautiful Widgets.
That'll cover just about everything.

[Q] Cyanogen with sense

is it possible to get cyanogen's mod with the sense ui...basically the best of both worlds

In a short answer- No. What exactly do you need from sense ui (rosie) and cyanogen specifically? What do you want from one or the other? Deficitism and ihtfp69 have created roms that combine the best of both worlds one would say with Uncommon Sense and Skyraider Vanilla. So reply with what you specifically want in the rom...and I can better recommend things for you.

Add IncDoes Sense/AOSP "Best of Both Worlds" to that list. Its not fully stable but it might be something to watch. This is an AOSP rom with some sense elements integrated, like the camera, gallery and dialer (I think). However you wont find Rosie (the sense launcher) on any AOSP roms here yet. The two mentioned in the previous post are sense roms that have been trimmed down.

well for sense widgets i really like the clock with the weather, favorites widget, and friend stream and i lock the lock screen too, but the vanilla on is nice because you can set phone to vibrate from there.

Sounds like Uncommon Sense may be the rom you want. It's got those things you've listed

Use cyanogen.. get beautiful Widgets for the clock from the market. Get launcherpro and use the friends widget. The friend widget is the same as friendstream.

Thanks for the help guys

At this point, koush or cyanogen woulden't put sense into CM. Thats what Makes CM a really good stock AOSP rom. For the Best of both worlds I would definitely try a Sky Raider rom. XD

This is probably the closest you'll get with AOSP. Other then that I'd recomment Skyraider Vanilla, which is based off sense so you get the sense goodies with the vanilla look.
If you want specifially Cyanogen, which is made to be Vanilla android, you can install the Black Notification bar which will put sense icons on top instead of the vanilla ones

[Q] Add widgets to sense 3.0 lockscreen?

How can I add widget/shortcuts to sense 3 lockscreen, or is this not possible yet? Flashed sense 3.0 lockscreen from leedroid 3.01 ROM.
Thanks for any help.

I haven't really received any responses when i asked but i think these are the things you get:
The Ring Unlock
A new music control widget (when music player is active)
A different look when you have an alarm (you have to drag the ring onto snooze or dismiss)
SMS/Missed Call notification
I don't think any customization is possible with the version you can download at the moment (correct me if im wrong)

Yeah all that is right. I thought I could customize it to show apps that I could then open straight from the lockscreen. Guess that is coming later on?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

well that's really the cool feature i was hoping for when installing it. Sadly this is not implemented yet.
I'm not even sure where these Sense 3.0 Rom parts came from. Are they from the leaked Sensation ROM and resized for the DHD? That would mean, that the leaked ROM didn't have the customization feature either (or it's in another file which isn't included in the download for the 3.0 lockscreen).
I'm just rambling here, i don't really know much about these things

The leaked lockscreen everyone is using in their ROMs is not from the Sensation but rather from the Espresso leak (because the resolution was correct), which doesn't have the feature to add widgets to the lockscreen.
The devs are still working on resizing the Sensation ROM.

[Q] Question to all you rom freaks out there

Hey Guys and Girls,
I love roms,I am always flashing new ones but I have an idea and I need help getting it.So I like sense but love gingerbread,the thing i love about sense is the lock screen where i can drag the apps to the bubble.Thats pretty much it,so I want to have gingerbread as my actual home screen,app screen,and for my keyboard.I know this sounds pretty crazy but can anyone help me find a rom or apps that can help my obtain this.Answers to this quetion would be very appreciated

install a sense rom then install a launcher from the market
Sent From My Optimized HTC Incredibly Since

Agile lock from the market is a nice sense 3.0 lockscreen clone. Its still inferior as the software is a little edgy and there aren't any sms previews like the sense 3.0 one has. I currently use this with CM7 along with sms popup from the market and it works great.
Otherwise download a stable sense rom with the sense 3.0 lockscreen (Nils Gingersense, Synergy) and use a different launcher.
There's also SupraROM which is an AOSP Sense 3.0 mix, but I'm not sure if it has the sense lockscreen.

I know when I ran MIUI about a month ago there was a Sense ring lockscreen you could install in Theme Manager. The downside was I couldn't figure out how to pick what apps other than the ones it gave you. Maybe that's changed, not sure there.

Ah right, I forgot about this option.
I do believe that they can be changed. You have to edit a text file though so its not as easy as HTC makes it. There's a MIUI lockscreen thread with a few of those sense ring lockscreen alternatives. However they all have one thing in common: when releasing the ring, the screen immediately unlocks. No cool "fly through the ring" effect.

Div033 is correct on the MIUI sense 3.0 lockscreens, they look pretty much identical but lack the fancy animation.
I'm not sure what the OP means by this:

By gingerbread, do you mean the stock AOSP look? Because if so, you could use agile lock on CM7, like has already been mentioned, or maybe try the synergy rom with the warm theme. It has the sense 3.0 lockscreen but is themed with quite a few AOSP gingerbread elements.
