swipe is still in beta - unless you're a beta tester, you can't get it. (although google is your friend )
you can dl adw launcher from the market, but many prefer launcherpro.
Edit - if you just flashed baked snack 1.8, try using his kernel#6, it's better than the one that 1.8 comes with. But I don't know if kernel #6 is available as a standalone outside of his members only forum.

IMO LauncherPro>>>>>>>ADW
I don't really like ADW.
You can get Swype anywhere.......but here. Like he^ said....google is your friend

- Official release of Froyo 2.2
- De-oxidized
- All bloat ware removed
- no sence UI
- Uses LauncherPro
Thats about it, if anyone knows of a ROM that fits the previously stated criteria. I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers,

sounds like cyanogen's rom is what you want - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596
may wana keep general questions to the Q/A section & do some searching as your question has been answered many times over
CM6 fits all those.
Cyanogen RC1 for Evo 4G
Thanks for the quick replies guys and gals.

CM6 is the ONLY ROM without Sense right now.
Can't you just download launcher pro from the market? What about adw launcher? Root your phone and delete the bloat. A lot of stuff can be deleted manually. Message enomther and see if he will port his nexus Rom to evo. It is a great Rom.

There is a Senseless Froyo-Fusion out, but I haven't tried it.
I personally tossed around the idea of a stripped down ROM, but like 2.1 can't get the AOSP dialer working, and the AOSP calendar had some wierd issues.
I know of at least one more established ROM dev that is currently working on a 2.2 version with sense stuff stripped out. I'm guessing we will see it in the next few days.
But other than CM, none of these are true sense-removed roms. They still are Sense at the core (framework level) but have AOSP apps in place of sense apps, and a different launcher. If you want a true AOSP, CM is the only one, and I'm pretty sure for other phones most AOSP builds are based off CM.

Suggest a ROM for me

So I have rooted my EVO running froyo, now I want a better rom than just a rooted stock one. I am trying to find a froyo rom with sense, overclocking, 4G, wifi tethering, and 802.11N. Any suggestions??
Why don't you search the development forum and read the roms. They all are different. And some have bugs that WiFi or 4g isn't working. Overclocking deals with kernel not Rom. I suggest doing some reading in the forum and read stickies in each forum. WiFi tether is an app you download from the market. Yet again nothing to do with a Rom. Some roms include it as why you should read up the roms.
Edit: and what do you call better? You will end up trying bunch of roms before you find one you like over the others. I suggest try a Rom. Using it for a day or 2. Nand backup and then try another Rom. You might like how its setup or the features of the Rom.

I've been happy with Fresh roms, and like #2 poster said, which is the same thing I did was try out a few roms and determine which one you like.
Ditto. I stayed with CM6 after testing several roms.

Been on Calkulin's EViO ROMs for quite some time. I have Nand backups of Fresh and BS but I come back to EViO for 99% of my use.
So why Evio? Any specific perks?
Fresh 3.2 with launcher pro and sense disabled. Vanilla lock clock and apps. With a side of handcent and swype! Best tasting rom ever! Lol

How do you "disable" Sense? Do you mean the lock screen mod?
I'm guessing when you hit home and ask you to pick with launcher you want to use he checked to use the one certain launcher. Sense still runs in the background..

Get the pro version of titanium backup and you can freeze sense so it never runs.

Can't install Launcher Pro on Man's RSL5

So I recently switched to Myns RSL5 and now can't get LP to installer the life of me. Ive even tried flashing the custom themed version of it available from Myn and still nothing.
I am not a fan of Rosie and need LP to complete this ROM for me.
Any ideas?

Nevermind.
I figured it out. Cleared the defaults for sense and then picked LP from the launcher options that pops up when hitting home

CM7 is the best gingerbread rom out there right now IMO. Very stable, loads of options.

And not in any way stock.

What do you mean it's not stock? It's wholly stock, except for the part in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings, which a lot of people hold near and dear to their hearts. Otherwise, it's the fastest and most stable Gingerbread build -- nay, ROM -- that I've ever used on my Droid Incredible, even in it's Nightly Build state.
CM7 is 'stock'. I'd say the only thing making it not stock is ADW which can be removed with some basic stuff.

I dont get why cm7 would use adw and not just the stock launcher. That bugs me. But ive always hated adw.

I agree. I just download the stock Gingerbread launcher from the market and delete ADW. Works great with CM7.
Or learn how to compile source.
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
Why does everyone automatically say well learn to do it yourself? I asked a simple question about the launcher. I figured maybe I'd be told its customizable or something.

I don't even understand source much less can I build from it. I was just saying I don't understand why they use adw. I was looking for someone with a reason like well you can change setting by going to _____ menu. Or something like that.

I honestly wish for a stock gb launcher too but CM7 doesn't have that by default. Your only choice is OMGB which is you know...
Sent from God, who uses CM7.
I've been running the C7 nightlies for a while and love them - What's different in the "stock launcher" rather then ADW? I'm not trolling just curious.
Yea I run OMFGB.
You could always do what i do and just download the roms you want pieces of and pull the pieces and put them into yours. Like download cm7 and omgb and put the omgb launcher into cm7

I ran an early build of OMBG and liked it but it was not stable enough to use as a daily driver at that point - I just don't remember what the differences were between it's launcher and ADW.
I installed omfgb today and then installed adw as i prefer 5 icons in my bar. I will install cm7 #28 asap tonite as omfgb just doesnt "feel" as stable.

I'm not really sure. For me and a few people cyanogen was nothing but problems. Works for some and is a pain in the ass for others.
Just go back to decks. Decks is cyanogen mod with a few tweaks here and there to make it work better and have killer battery life. To turn decks into an exact replica of cyanogen just install the adw launcher app. Adw is the launcher built into cyanogen.
P.s. idk if you knew this but all themes and mods labeled for cm7 will work on decks (if that's why you went to it). 90% of the time anything labeled as a cm7 mod will work on any aosp since most of them are based off of cyanogens source.
I'm using decks 1.3 and tiamat 3.3.7 SBC and the battery life is crazy!
