P.S......Don't bring our the torches on me...i was just posting here because i thought it would get the attention of a developer quicker here...

rules are rules whether you want attention or not. im sure this will come to the evo when source or an ruu leaks.

CM6 already has Landscape homescreen... Just gotta make sure the fancy widget changes to whats above.
If you use launcher pro, the launcher icons rotate too.

CM 6 (stock vanilla froyo) does this. and its better than sence.

Example... The fancy widget needs a better landscape mode
Swyped from my Snappified Evo via XDA App

Just a notion here, but when did everyone start using CM6?

The day it came out

When we see a non_TMobile Vision leak we should be able to obtain Landscape sense by using a few apk's from it.

?. What widgets are those that show battery and such.
I am not running the CM due to lack of 4g and camera issues. But I am sure it will be on my rotation soon, right now Fresh has had the least force closes for me.

I wouldn't use it. In my opinion its not very good. I don't like the looks of a lot of it. Lots of things still need a lot of work.

+1...I prefer vanilla in a lot of areas compared to sense, but I always find myself going back to sense. LauncherPro is getting better though.

Works fine with LauncherPro as well. I have 4G and all that good stuff on a fast, stable ROM. I have not found any Sense widget that doesn't have an equal or superior replacement anyway. They're OK but not very customizable and kinda gaudy/glossy.

Yeah, I would think porting a fully functioning Sense 3.0 rom would be at the top of the devs' lists right now. It's hot, it's new, and whomever brings us the first working version will be heralded as the "dev of the hour" - and receive endless thanks from us flashers!
I, for one, know that if/when this becomes available, it'll finally make me flash back from AOSP.
There is one about 95% functional....thats a secret though.
I'm workin' on porting it right now and will post a link up in Dev section hopefully before the end of the night. keep in mind it'll be an alpha release and will most likely be some bugs to work out. Basically this is a coming soon post
EDIT: Not releasing on here due to not wanting the dev section to be filled with these

and along the same token, your lack of concern for preserving the awesomeness of the camera is your opinion and, I imagine, not one that is held widely by the MT4GS userbase.
one of the selling points of this phone is the camera... and that goes out the window with the AOSP camera app. before this phone, I wouldn't have cared either, but since it has such a capable setup out of the box for being a point and shoot replacement, it seems like a waste to toss that just to get an AOSP rom.
Before jumping to conclusions about the built in Camera software versus the third party camera apps available on the market, we should test them out first.
I'm absolutely certain that there will be apps out there in the future that will be able to control the entire camera in this phone. The only question is when. That being said I only care in so far as being able to turn the flash on and off. I'm usually taking pictures in default settings though I might turn the flash off.
The Sense 3.0 camera app is the same as the one we have on the MT4GS, and as long as we run a version of Sense 3.0 we shouldn't have any problems. AOSP would be nice, but I'd like to have the nice camera functionality, and honestly I loved Virtuous Fusion ROM running Sense 3.0, I can't imagine how fast it would be on this device!
Yeah, the camera is something that I really want working on a custom rom. coming from the cliq though, everything seems fast stock on this phone.
I can't wait for Cyanogenmod on this phone. It really opened up my 3G slide with all kinds of cool stuff. When 3G slides were bearly getting official 2.2 Froyo from HTC, I had gingerbread for a while. I can imagine this bad boy running 3.1 or even the 4.0 that's supposed to be out soon!
Loved CM on my 3G slide, but I *personally* would not want to part with the functionality of the camera. Now if workarounds are discovered than that is a different story.
This phone is so much better out of the box than the 3G slide was though.

[ROM][09/16/2011]Senseless_v2.1.2 Tweaked, Modded, Debloated, AOSP Pieces, ONLY 180MB
Just because something isn't CM7 doesn't mean it isn't a good ROM. People need to pay respect to those developing ROMs other than CM7 and MIUI as well, if it weren't for them we would still be on the stock rom with S-ON. Give this ROM a shot, I've been running it for a while and it is much better than the shipped rom and has full camera functionality.
The reason we don't have cm7 support is because there is no source code yet. You stuck with sense until then. Complain to HTC not within xda.

Wasn't complaining. Was just asking if any work was done. I found this article through a Google search and then did some forum searching after posting. Sad that the source for the kernel has to be released first. But if that ROM is more AOSP and has full camera functionality, it might be worth rooting my phone over.

No credit needed i had nothing to do with this besides trying to install it and alerting others that they could use it. I'm just happy to help cross reference XDA. I really don't like using the touchwiz interface anyway i prefer launcherpro plus. I know that some people do like touchwiz though so i figured i'd post it in this very slim section of the forum.
tried it but acted weird in my phone,dunno why but ill reinstall and see if it fixes it.
It barely works, dragging items or widgets on desktop causes it to restart or crash. Uninstalled

I've been running this since last night, and it seems to work much better for me than when I tried to run TW 4.5. The only issue I've had so far is with market updates crashing the market, but I'm sure that's from the way I restored all my apps, since I was so tired.
I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to do this true TW4 standalone from the ROM, or is the only way to use this ROM?
If it is anything like TW4.5, you have to turn on landscape mode followed by a reboot. It only has to be done once but once you do you get landscape.

Just manually add the apps you want on the dock.
(App Drawer > Menu > View Type > Customizable Grid > Menu > Edit > *Make Changes* > Menu > Save > Menu > View Type > Go back to what you like.)
It's a lot more annoying than other launchers on the market, but you can still do it. TW4 seems to have a maximum of three apps, plus the app drawer. On the custom TW4.5, it allows for more, but the app drawer still will always be the right-most icon. Those two things are all I would as for Samsung.. well maybe an auto-hide home screen number too. Minor annoyances but a silky smooth launcher.
Also, thanks for the reply xboxfanj, about trying to add this without needing to flash the whole ROM.
Thanks.

If I can find the time, I might try learning how to do that, because I'm having a bit too much trouble combining my mods. I might tinker with it, along side working on getting ACS ICS where I want it on my phone. In the meantime, I've been using QQLauncher. It's nicer looking, and more of what I want, since it readily works with ACS ICS, but TW4 seemed to be a bit smoother for me. Now that the Galaxy Nexus has been announced, I might also be a little more patient as things develop. Not to mention, Cyanogen is getting pretty polished. Decisions, decisions.. I'll be glad when I'm finally settled on something. Until then, hopefully I can learn enough to help put some of these solid mods together.

I heard that closing apps from multi-tasking is the best feature asides from being eye-candy. What do you guys like the most with the new Android-OS?

Hard to say. When I mention that I installed an ICS build on my phone, a few of my friends asked about face-unlock...but meh. It's buggy and gimmicky and crap, IMO a bit overrated and over-publicized.
I do love the task management with a long press on the home button. Brilliant! Awesome. But it's also hard to overlook the facelift that the settings menus received. That too is very pretty. Then there's the app drawer. I do also love the fact that I see widgets there, now. Also classy. Swiping notifications is cool, too.
Hard to nail down exactly which feature I like best, but these may be listed in an order relatively close to order of importance to me.

From what I heard, some devices that has front camera does not even have face unlock. IE Xoom. Where did you find the settings for the face unlock? Perhaps, that's why we can't figure it out. LOL
They seemed to apple it up and add a lot of gimmicks rather than worthwhile features this time. If I had to pick, it'd be the hardware accelerated browser. Now they just need to fully hardware accelerate the UI.

True, depends on what build you're on, and it is still not available on some devices.
It should be under settings, where you set a pin, passcode, or an unlock gesture.
If it's there, it's easy setup.
Optmization!
I'm loving the default SMS app, and the settings button in the notification bar.
And the fact that hardware acceleration is default.
