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.
Am I absolutely blind or is this the only AOSP themed ROM that we have right now?

and if so, does that mean you guys all really love TW that much?
You know you can add the vanilla lock on any rom. Did you know if you download home switcher from the market you can run the aosp launcher even if the phone is stock. I've noticed most people use adw and launcher pro

I know that if you've got ADW Launcher, there is a free ASOP theme available for it on the Market...BTW ADW Launcher is free also!
Yeah I was using Launcher2 on stock TW to begin with but I just missed the aosp lockscreen and taskbar. I'll just be using Bubs rom with launcher2 for now.

Hello everyone. I just got my epic and I was wondering if it were possible to keep the touchwiz app drawer with the multiple pages and icons but get another dock like the one in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9170702&postcount=10311
All help is appreciated. Thanks
No, that is Launcher Pro, an entirely different launcher app, though I have to ask what about the touchwiz app drawer entices you so much?
ADW
Try ADW launcher. It's in the market. I haven't used it in a while but I believe it allows you to use the horizontal app drawer and it is otherwise similar to LP.
GoLauncher will do what you are looking for.

At first I hated it but after changing to launcherpro I realized that I liked the TouchWiz app drawer alot more. I guess its because I had the palm pre before the epic.

This is everything I'm looking for but is it possible to have the backgrounds on the icons in the app drawer like the touchwiz has.

Nope. As far as i know only Touchwiz does that cause those backgrounds are in the twlauncher.apk(i think)

is there any way i could have THESE MIUI lockscreens on my i9000 without installing miui?
Without using MIUI then no.
But you could buy widget locker and check out the theme thread in the Android forums as some of the themes resemble MIUI lockscreens.
Installed miui ..not for the lockscreens but for fun

Widgetlocker is the most customizable lockscreen replacement app in the market, but MIUI lockscreens are by far the best out there right now and widgetlocker just cant come close in many aspects. It's a shame.

I know it's to late but you can install QQLauncher Pro. It has a similar lockscreen. The launcher is also very good.
I've got 10.1 on my T989 but I've never liked the stock phone app. Particularly when you click on "favorites". I like the Touchwiz or even Sense UI on the phone app. Are there options to change this without a whole new launcher (if that even does it) or theme?
thx

Look for an alternative phone app in the Play Store or go to a TW rom.
Or try a theme
GSII T989
AOKP B6 NOS'D UP
try ex-dialer on the market its pretty sweet its like the miui dialer and you can have all the miui themes for the dialer and no launcher switch https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modoohut.dialer&hl=en
Crystal 2 theme is the best IMO
