Hey everyone, I am looking for the native android (froyo) 2.2 launcher/theme/look for the evo 4g?
I want to disable HTC Sense UI and use the native android 2.2 UI......
Any ideas on how we can get it? (without rooting or using anything like LauncherPro or AWD?)

Well, outside of rooting, I'm guessing the only way would be finding an launcher app that looks similar.
Not a lot of options.
So there is no way to get it unless I root my Evo?
How do I get it if I root it?

by installing a custom rom with it, or modifying your own rom to incorporate it.

Where I can find this custom ROM?
I haven't had any such luck.

Look at the development section. Most roms have screenshots on there, so just find one with the style you're looking for.
of course, make sure to look at the descriptions of the roms, bc they're custom for more thean their looks. A lot of them add and remove features, and they may be things that you don't like. Definitely choose carefully.
Anyways, if you're not rooted, and u've installed the 2.2 update from sprint, you're not going to be able to root at the moment anyways.

Awesome thanks for your help TJDuckett
I was hoping it was much easier than all of that.....like just some .apk that I install...
Oops, didn't see that don't want to use LP or ADW.. nevermind...

If you just want the stock 2.2 launcher go to settings then applications find the rosie app and clear defaults then when you hit the home button select launcher 2 as default. Sense will still be integrated through out the phone but you will have the stock 2.1 launcher
in the latest 2.2 update for Sprint they removed the native launcher all together. I have attached it to this post for you. Enjoy! It also reinstalls the stock backgrounds which were also removed. BTW this does not require root. Just simply install apk file.

In the root of your sd card (I made a folder on the sdcard called Android Apk and put all my apk's in there). Than open up Astro, migrate to the apk and install it.

No the apk I uploaded is the stock 2.2 launcher.
Sense widgets go with the sense launcher which is why you won't find then when using the Android 2.2 launcher.
To install just double tap the apk in astro or another file explorer.

Then you didn't install this apk. Mine says:
Name: com.android.launcher
Label: Launcher
File Version: 2.2
Nowhere on the summary or details tab does it say ADW.
It is clearly the stock android 2.2 launcher.
Is there a reason the phone button doesn't work? I get a message saying there's no app installed on my phone.
Coule someone post the apk for the vanilla clock touse with vanilla lock so I can use the alarm from it please!

Thanks in advance

Check out flipz info here. There is a vanilla clock there.
Thanks for the reply, all I see is a zip witht he lock and the clock.
I already have the lockscreen since HTC didn't break it so I don't want it, just the vanilla clock.
It was easy to get when running Fresh but I'm on another rom now
**double edit** for some reason when downloading that deskclock, you now have to delete HTCs world clock for it to show up in the app drawer..
Thanks for the link

Since this is the first thing that comes up in a google search and flips zip file will cause a boot loop if applied, here is the file that you need to install the vanilla clock.

I'm currently running the newest infinity rom. I cant seem to get my facebook contact pics to update and most of which have the default blank icon. Any way to get the profile pics in my contact list to update from facebook? Is this a possible issue because facebook isn't integrated into the rom? Is there a way to integrate Facebook into the rom? I notice when i stalled FB i can only syc contacts and not calendar. Is there a way to syc both?
Secondly, My wife was wanting a theme she found but it was for old ee4 roms. Is there a easy tut to themeing? If i can figure out how to theme I wouldnt mind doing a couple of themes to keep our roms looking fresh. Lastly, i really like the theme that's in infinity. only thing i would like to change is the over-glow when scrolling. i wanted to change it from yellowish tone to the light blue that's in the rom in a few places. How do i change that? Is there a way to change just that without creating a whole theme?
Check if the sns services are included with infinity.

this may sound like a noob question but im just starting to learn how to really get into the rom to change things. were would i look to find the sns service?
I ran a search in root explorer for sns services and nothing showed up.

it is not included in Infinity... it would be an apk in /system/app I think
thanks to dewitherell i can easy add it if its a apk system app i think. If thats what it is. I used his "empty cwm file" to add the the backup assistant. Do i just need to add that? or is there more to it?

that should be it, you don't even need to flash it you can pull it out of any stock CWM rom package and drop in /system/app with root explorer then reboot... but flashing it would be easier so go ahead lol
ok thanks ill try that in a bit. Im currently trying to cook a theme for my wife with the uot kitchen. hopefuly it will work. if so ill post it for anybody else that wants it. Is there another, easier or better way to theme?

Easier, no. Better, yes. Check the themes and apps subforum and look for Spc_Hicks's tutorial on turning. That should be a good place to get started.

WARNING: DO NOT FLASH YET! UPDATE WILL COME SOON. MOST LIKELY TOMORROW SAT 2/25
Hey All!
Alright so here I have compiled some apps that give your phone a as close to as possible ICS feel, while we're still on Gingerbread!!
Whats Included
-Exdialer
-Exdialer-ICS Theme
-GoSMS
-GoSMS-ICS Theme
-Go Launcher
-Go Launcher-ICS Theme
-Go Locker
-Go Locker-ICS Theme
All of this is simple to do manually but a flashable zip just makes things A LOT easier!
THIS IS A FLASHABLE ZIP! Just wipe dalvik and cache and hit install! This will work on ANY ROM as long as you're rooted!
Place ExDialer, ExContacts, GoSMS, and Web Browser in Dock in that order! USE GO LAUNCHER TO REPLACE ICONS WITH INCLUDED ICON PACK!

Just downloaded and flashed it, umm Its a complete backup of your phone at least it appears to be...all of your apps are showing up as if they are there but Im not sure how you would remove that before you post. And also I get an "unexpected error" with something on my sd after installing. Oh and none of the widgets work. Other than that its pretty cool! But I reset my phone it has too many issues right now :/ will look for an updated one if you make one!

I think I know what the problem is. I copied Go Launcher's Data file, so it's trying to replicate my homescreen. I will have a fix out soon!
Where did you get that wallpaper that's in the screenshot from?

Thanks for the work on this....I already had it all except exdialer, thats kinda cool, still getting used to it. I wish the dial pad was closer to the size of the stock one though, fat fingers FTL

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't tried all of the Go products, and with the dialer as well I already have people asking if I have ICS (Rather, people who don't know any better and haven't seen ICS yet).

If are running GB and a custom recovery, I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you don't have a custom recovery you can still use it by installing all of the program (from the market so that you get the latest versions) and then grabbing the themes from the zip file and installing them.
Hello,
I'm looking for Geniewidget.apk (Google News and Weather apps) to install it on my Samsung Stock ROM (rooted). I miss the weather report from CM and can't find anything equivalent (ratio heat/rain probability).
I tried to install following S3 procedure but I guess the APK is not compatible with 4.2.2
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
How could you not love the Samsung weather app or Google now. Those are superior

Last question
It is a 4x1 widget, I use only the weather display. It would be nice to have it 3x1 (as it seems to waste the rest of the space). Any tips on how to proceed ?

some launchers have the option to modify the column/row number on the homescreen or let you resize widgets (eg. next launcher, ..)
i'm afraid there is no quick option to change a widgets size if the launcher does not support it
