anyone know? i've flipped through most of the rom thread, didn't find anything. long-press, short-press, settings, etc.. looks like most people want to add more, nor reduce the existing 5, but i only need 3 (maybe even 1). i saw some people talking about installing "tweaks" that could do it, just wondering if it can do it natively without any add-ons.
thanks in advance!

I'm looking for the most basic stock 2.2 rom available. I mean really stock Android, no touchWiz or customizations. Removal of Sprint bloatware would be great of course. This is for a Samsung Epic currently running froyo right out of the box. This is for a totally blind user running a screen reader from the Google Eyes Free Project. All of the TouchWiz stuff and customizations make the screen reader perform poorly and it's especially bad with froyo 2.2 due to the TouchWiz stuff.
I'd be grateful if anyone can point me to a rom that would fit the bill. Hopefully, such a thing exists. Thanks for any responses.
Cyanogenmod 7 is the closest to AOSP you can get, but it does have some features not working (yet).
I know its not exactly what you are asking for but I have an idea that is pretty simple to do but you don't have t flash another rom.
I suggest launcher pro from the app market. To all you adw fans out there, I've tried that too but accidentally messed up things in the dock and it wasn't fun fixing them. Anyways, launcher pro could be used as your home replacement. I don't know your level of knowledge so I will explain it. Once it finishes downloading, hit the home key on the bottom four and select as default application then select launcher pro. Now hit menu then settings then general and there's a thing to hide apps you don't want showing in the drawer. Next go into appearance and select dock style for froyo or froyo wide. That is pretty much it. There are a few settings that can be tweaked to turn off the special effects and maximise the drawer's speed in regards to scrolling.
That is my suggestion because it is stable and not necessary to start flashing roms and converting the phone's default file system to ext4, which from my experience was opening a can of worms.
I havent used it, but I believe you're looking for this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922773
It's not stock, it just is themed to look like it.
Texted while driving
Why not just root the phone and use root explorer and take out the touch wiz launcher in the stock rom from the system/app directory.
Here is a post here that shows you all the prgrams that you can safely remove:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773142&highlight=safe+apps+remove
Then if you want stock, you can't be more stock than this. Maybe this can help you get to what you want.
I appreciate the responses. Someone suggested simply replacing TW Launcher but that isn't really the issue. Apparently TouchWiz changes more than just the launcher. Some of the apps that don't seem to be really stock Android are messaging, contacts and calendar. TouchWiz also seems to do some other stuff under the hood that gets in the way. Perhaps rooting as someone else suggested and removing the problem apps and replacing them with the stock Android ones might do the trick. Surely there has to be a bare bones rom out there but maybe not for the epic.
I have heard great things about Cyanigen but unfortunately it isn't ready yet.
Syndicaterom Frozen is very barebones and quick. It is the cleanest stable rom.

2nd on srf.
Saying that you were looking for a stock rom is throwing everyone off (or at least me). Stock means you want it like it came factory from Sprint, with all the bloat and garbage attached.

Sorry, didn't mean to throw anyone off. By stock what I mean is Android stock, not Samsung stock. Plain vanilla like you might find on a Nexus 1. No bloatware, no customized UI like TouchWiz. Hope that clarifies it. Thanks.

The term for plain vanilla is AOSP, the ONLY AOSP Rom for the Epic is Cyanogenmod.

063_XOBX,
Thanks for the correct term. I see now what I'm looking for is Android Open Source Project (ASOP). It looks like CyanigenMod is the only way to go. I wish it was finished. The plan is to work on it this saturday so we may wind up trying Syndicate Mod Frozen to see how that goes and eventually flash CyanigenMod. I'm really anxious for Cyanigen to be completed. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

Hello there,
Like title suggests, I want to creat my own icons to fit certain themes/wallpapers. I can make icons in Photoshop, so that's no problem, thing is, I have no idea how to get them on my phone, and can't really find much information about it.
If someone could please kindly point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
There's no short answer really. I guess the easiest way would be to use something like nova launcher that allows you to long press and change the icons 1 at a time. If you want to get into theming whole swaths of your icons at once, I've seen how-to's here on theming roms etc...
Hmm, thanks, better than nothing by far
Defenately enough to keep me going for a while to figure out if I really want to do this and if I'm any good at it.
Thanks

Well using Nova launcher is the best way to go at it. You can change the original icons from the standard apps by replacing them in their apks, but that will take some more time^^
Hey all, this is one of my first post here, but I have been a user since the original Moto Droid. Before asking any questions I wanted to thank EVERYONE here who has helped me & the Mods for keeping this place so neat and clean!
Does anyone know of a way to get the pure android experience on this phone? (i.e. sms, dialer, icons, lock screen, etc) Like what comes on the new Galaxy Nexus!?
Please forgive me if this has been addressed already, I couldn't find anything with any solutions or definite answers.
Thanks!

Your answer is

Codename
Those are as stock they can get

Yup, or Codename, they are based off Android Open Source Project but have a few tweaks and tons of settings to play with.
Thanks for the fast replies! Clicked the button for you both.
I was hoping for a way to just strip it like you could senseUI on the Evo.

And came up with a very fast, battery saving, pure(ish) android experience.
I'd like to be able to scroll wallpapers when switching from screen to screen but, as most of you have noticed, this isn't available on the TouchWiz launcher (the launcher used on our SGS3s).
Has anyone found a way of getting around this like we used to be able to do in previous Android versions? I really like being able to see the full picture and scroll it rather than seeing it every screen from screen to screen.
If your rooted flash FreeGs3 rom. It give you the option choosing the wall paper scrolling.
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.

Does it change the launcher to that of a third-party or is it still TouchWiz? I'd kind of like to keep TouchWiz if possible. I have been looking for some new ROMs, so thank you for the heads up on that one.

Your welcome check out his rom I think you going love it. Make sure you use twrp recovery better than cwm
Apple just give up the IPHONE sucks deal with it.
Thanks guys. I'll give it a try immediately.
EDIT: There's one problem...where can I find a version and tutorial on how to install TWRP recovery for my device? I can only find links sending me to places that flash only for the Galaxy Nexus or other carriers and it says that they will only work with those models.

Hey there xda!
I'm on the latest version of Carbon and I must say I think its the best rom that I've tried so far..
However there are two small things that concern me about it!
I can't find a way to delete any homescreens? It comes with 5. I've checked everywhere that Its been on other roms I've used.
Second, I really want all my camera pictures to go straight to the SD card, and there seems to be no option for a thing like that..
Anybody know any solutions to either of these? I Think they might have been left out by accident...
Anyways thanks in advance for any help, its always appreciated!
Thanks

Unfortunately not all ROMs are created equal. The hone screen issue if isn't in the settings I can suggest something like Nova or Apex launcher and you can set your home screen amount to whatever you want.
Not all the ROMs have sdcard save options, there is a aosp camera nod you can install that has that feature. A simple search will point you in the right direction.
