evo rom like nexus one??

hey guys im a noob here but i have searched all over..
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.

GO Launcher docks ?

Hi,
I've been searching but couldn't find - are there any custom docks for GO Launcher ? There's many for LauncherPro, but not for GO...
I've tried some that were made for LP but then it asks me to resize them and it doesn't look "right".

Have you tried the new GO Launcher EX? IMHO, it is head and shoulders above any other launcher out there. The new EX version has added support for themes.
The devs are also updating constantly, as well as adding themes. There's only a couple on there at the moment, but the Classic one is pretty neat.

Hi, yes, my old GO launcher offered a download of EX version but there are too few themes at the moment so I guess all we need to do is wait, unless someone else starts making custom themes...

Yeah, I'm up for trying that.. have emailed the dev asking for any instructions/guide etc.

Do you know some custom dock icons special for Go Launcher

Ok let me ask again. Icon pack specially for this launcher. Not for LP or ADW. Just icons.
If docks means dock icons than is my bad

Killer apps from the dev. Even though I have been with Launcher Pro plus, I fell in love with the Go Launcher at first try.
Go SMS is a sexy chick for all the sammy users as the stock sms app is a ****ty ui app.
Go SMS rocks......

Recommended Themes?

Hi all,
I'm new to Android OS (The One X is my first phone with Android/ICS) and was wondering how far I can go in terms of aesthetic customization without having to root and was wondering if anyone could supply me with some themes/icons etc.
Thanks!

You can install a Launcher from the Play Store and apply many themes which you also find in the play store...

launcher from playstore is really good for themes

skins
wait for someone on xda to release some sense 4 skins in my opinion the launchers are slow and laggy

No way for customizing Sense without root

without M10 tool that can decompil sense 4 M10 there is just no way to skin widgets or clock ...
it's just like that...

There are launchers you can download from the Play Store. Some of the better ones are ADW EX, Apex, Nova. Run these launchers over Sense and you can theme your homescreens at least. The framework will still be Sense though, for now.

[Q] How to enable HTC Sense Widgets in ADW launchers

Hi
I recently shifted to the ADW launcher because of the unsightly HTC sense dock at the bottom of the screen. But then I am unable to access HTC sense widgets, like the music widget for example. I am aware that I have the option of getting a Pure Music kinda app to solve this problem. But I just wanted to know if there is any way of moving around the HTC Music Widget apk file (or any other file for that matter) so that it is activated in ADW?
I have seen the same (similar) question across a lot of different forums and the answer has always been "NO". But hope springs eternal
Thanks

ucannot have sense widget's if u move onto another launcher

You can't add sense widgets in another launcher, but may i ask you why do you use adw launcher instead of nova launcher or spex launcher? Adw launcher is so old, is made for gingerbread and froyo. Nova and apex are made only for ICS.

I guess I just grew comfortable with ADW over the years. Thanks for the suggestion, I shall try out nova / spex.

The result with Nova and Spex will be the same. HTC widgets work with the supplied HTC launcher only.

yeah that's true. But I don't understand why they have to be so microsoftishly possessive that it limits the users customisation needs. The lockscreen for example, I personally find their renowned "ring" quite blingy and there seems to be no way to edit it. So if i install MIUI locker to customise the lockscreen I occassionally have to deal with two lockscreens - first the HTC ring and then whatever else I have set. C'est la vie!

You cannot add sense widgets to adw but do not worry, use apw widgets, these look very similar to sense widgets...
Well as close as you can get without being sued by HTC ofcourse...

Hey thanks again. I tried apw and it was quite nice. But I am specifically looking for a replacement for the Sense music widget. In any case i shall give the wizz a look over.

Nova Launcher and Apex Launcher are head to head usually. Both are excellent. You can also try Holo Launcher HD or the new Action Launcher Pro. Nova, Apex and Holo are all pretty much the same in terms of features, but Action Launcher is something new.
I use Nova Launcher as I got the paid version for 25 cents during the Google Play 25 billion apps sale. It's fast, works well and has all the features I need.

yeah but Nova launcher has some downsizes...isnt so customable has the others ..but the real benefit(Also) is the Battery..nova consume lowest batter of all launcher..so give it a shot because is a nice launcheer...and also u can try NEXT launcher..because is something different.

Im currently using Atom, on ICS i got better battery life than nova.

This tread will be better as pool but anyway
I use APEX

why dont u guys use SENSE LAUNCHER ? I like sense beecause it has alot of widgets..and if i change it with NOVA..or apex some widgets will dissaper

i use Nova with different icon packs. i also recommend SS launcher if you are looking for something different.

Personally I just found next launcher quite expensive but a pretty cool launcher and very polished
