im looking for a nexus one froyo rom for the evo...
i want evenything to stay the way it is i just want the launcher like the nexus one and the main menu to look like the nexus one froyo.
i know launcher pro has it but i cant add htc widgets to it..
any advice would be appreciated.
CM6 (cyanogen)
o you can't have the htc widgets without sense so if thats what you're really looking for you're stuck using sense. thats the only launcher that allows those widgets

Just out of curiosity, which sense widgets can't you live without?
The thing with cyanogen is that it uses ADW launcher.. some fav it. some dislike it.. i personally dislike it, ill rather have basic 2.2 launcher like the nexus one.

Ohhh, give it a shot.. you might like it.. I like, MUCH better than the sense crap. You can use it with Cyano.
I like Zeam launcher.
It's light weight and crazy fast.
And it's home cooked by an xda modder!

Yeah Launcher Pro and beautiful widgets go together. ADW launcher just got to much of useless stuff for me
EDIT :And BTW. this should be moved in the Questions thread.

It's not about the rom, it's about wanting a home application that isn't Sense to be able to use Sense's widgets. The standard Nexus One launcher is included in even the stock rom, but you won't be able to load Sense's widgets onto it.
I have one recommendation, check out LauncherPro Plus. It comes with some of its own awesome widgets. They are honestly as good as Sense's calendar, people, bookmarks, and messages widgets. In fact, they look almost too much like a direct copy. You can scroll inside of them and even resize them. If those are the ones you want to keep, LauncherPro is what you want. In every other way, it is much like the stock launcher on Nexus One.
You will lose Friend Stream, but there are other widgets that can approximate that.
I reread your post. You asked for a Nexus One main screen and launcher. By main screen, do you mean the lockscreen? The one you have to drag your finger on to unlock your phone? If not, the home screen and list of programs are both handled by the launcher.
Here is what I would recommend:
Rom:
Cyanogen Mod 6 - It will make all of the menus and applications feel just like what you get on Nexus One.
Apps:
Fancy Widget - It looks and feels exactly like the HTC weather & clock widget that is the default on the main screen.
LauncherPro Plus - CM6 comes with ADW Launcher, which is pretty close to the vanilla Nexus One launcher, but LauncherPro Plus has its own widgets that look and function almost exactly like HTC's widgets.

I think you may want to clarify exactly what you want. As far as I understood the opening question, it was pretty well answered.
Currently CM6 is the only ROM that is not based on the HTC Sense stock ROM. It is instead based on the open source Android code, just like the Nexus One. There are a few tweaks that Cyanogen has added, like some extra settings, different boot screen, and some cosmetic tweaks. It also uses ADW launcher by default.
However you could just install the stock launcher on cyanogen mod, and other than the settings widget having blue highlights, you are pretty much at stock.
There is no way to use the HTC Sense widgets with anything besides the Sense launcher.
If all you care about is the launcher and lock screen, you can install just about any 2.2 rom, remove htclockscreen from /app/system, install the stock launcher, and you are done. In that case you would still have the HTC messaging, browser, calendar, etc.
Does anyone know of a ROM that has sense but more of an AOSP look?
The Epic has one that is kinda what I am looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922773 It has more of an AOSP look but still has some of the TouchWiz framework.
I mostly want to still be able to use HTC Widgets and apps. Any ideas?
There are roms in the development section but if you want sense Widgets you have to use the sense launcher or launcher pro

Just use a Sense Rom and manually modify the Rosie to look like Aosp. Assuming you just want the launcher to look like Aosp. Btw, this is easier said than done unless you know a little bit about theming and modding.

Hey!
As some of you know the Gingerbread Launcher (available in Market) is blurry on Android 2.3.3 [JVB].
Can anybody fix that? Is there already a fix/a compatible GB Launcher?
I would like to have that slim "theme" with 3D appdrawer, not a big launcher like LP or ADW....
Thanks!
Will this wish be granted? I haven't found one yet.

Use "Launcher Pro" its the best Gingerbread launcher and has that 3d menu u want but not blurry..
As is said i don't like LP. The 3D Launcher actually is laggy and too choppy..

I did a fix for my JVK galaxy S, the problem is the 3D library of 2.3.3. Check here for the fix. And for 3D launcher you could just use this one, I pull from Nexus S 2.3.
I searched and found that Sense widgets only work under sense roms, but is there like a vanilla gingerbread theme that i can flash?
I love the simplicity of gingerbread, especially the all black notification bar and app drawer, hate the look of sense but i love it's widgets and apps.
Or am I going to have to wait till a theme is released

I see everyone talking about Rosie, so I have to ask the NOOB question, What is a Rosie?
It's the Sense UI.

Thx Buddy, appreicated......
More specifically, it's the Sense launcher, not the whole UI.
