AOSP-like ROM with Sense camera? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I am probably about to upgrade to an Evo LTE.
I would like to know if there is a ROM that is as close as possible to AOSP (cm10 preferred) but which has the stock camera.
Is it possible to have a rom with minimal sense framework but which includes sense camera ?
Still torn between Evo and galaxy s3....
Thanks!

I have only every seen a handful of hybrid roms and they are difficult to maintain from my experience with them, the closest you will get is if someone can import the libs and somehow get it working that way but things like image sense are proprietary and it takes a lot of work to reverse stuff like that. Try one of the bloat removing scripts, I don't remember the name but one removes rosie and replaces it with a ics/jb based launcher so you aren't just running a launcher on top of rosie

If you install the new Viper 2.0 ROM you can choose to install it "Senseless" which gives largely the look of CM10, but you'll still have the Sense Camera

Good to know, I have yet to try viper. Seems just like that wipe script I saw a few months back. Aroma has a lot of customization built in.

RacerOfAll has a sick AOSP theme because he hates Sense but wants to keep using Sense features like the camera.
His Viper4G 1.0 theme is awesome, but now Viper is on 2.0 and the theme hasn't been updated, yet, so for the now I've manually pulled some of his apk's from the theme, manually replaced other apk's with AOSP versions and am using an HTC ICS skin and a 3rd party ICS launcher.
Basically, there's lots of stuff you can do to Sense ROMS to make them appear near-identical to AOSP while keeping Sense under the hood.

Awesome, man! You're gonna love it! I'm not going to release anything publicly, but once you're rooted let me know and I can send you the apks I use to make my phone look stock ICS.
I recommend Viper4G ROM from the Original Android Development forum. It comes with an awesome tweaks app that will let you customize the icons in your status bar to AOSP style. If you flash a different ROM I'll help you get it as AOSP as possible but you'd be on your own for the status bar
I might start a thread in the theming forum with screen shots of my setup and directions on how to emulate it now that I think about it. I'll be out of town Sunday so I'll check back here on Monday

Well ... after trying Stock, CM10, and MIUI, I was having buyer's remorse ...
But then I installed CleanROM DE.

Want this theme?

Just want to get a view of interest if this theme would be wanted by anyone. I loved it and built it right before the 3.5 craze.
Like stated in rader3bravos thread sense stuff cant be themed, but if your using an alt launcher it would work.
Please vote, and if you want reply with what rom you would like to see it on.

Ya bud, port it over. The more themes for this phone, the better. I could always use some help with finding new framework, so by all means, port away.
Thats a very nice theme you got there .
Looks amazing I like it simple

yup its nice, but i wish someone would make a rom and theme which make the phone really stand out tech wise. Would love things like the snapshot picture or video which shows on cover of album for pics or vids, or even ont he widget on desktop to actually play life preview as the snapshot your hovering over, or make everything all techy and extremely futuristic if you know what i mean

[Request] Stock ICS Multitasking

Is it possible to do? I've gotten sense 4 multitasking on my nexus s so i was hoping it might be possible to get stock ics multitasking on my evo. I use multitasking a lot (even though its got its issues) but i prefer to see them in a list rather than swipe through each one.
people love to ***** about simple stuff lol
if you hate it so much return it
or wait for a AOSP rom like CM 9 or AOKP
dude, chill out. if youre gonna post such a negative response, why take out the time to post at all. smh. i love the phone.
I was wondering the same too. Sense 4 implementation looks more impressive and flashy for showing off to your friends but the stock ics implementation is much more usable.
The way you got the sense task switcher on another device, did it involve changing the framework?
Sent from my ViperRom Evo LTE via Tapatalk 2
hmm im not sure. an awesome developer over at the nexus s 4g thread made the mod. just flashed the zip and i was using sense 4 multitask. like you said, its cool to show off, but everyday use, i prefer stock (even though i enjoy most of sense)
It involves modification of the ROM's SystemUI. On the Nexus S, it was a matter of modifying the source code. On Sense 4, you're going to have to decompile and play with smali.

Sounds like your going to play with a little indian child.
The charmeleon rom from the dev forum apparently has the option to change the multitasking, as well as the lockscreen, back to AOSP style. I'm testing it out right now and both tweaks are good to go. The only thing that is different from my modded ViperROM is that recent apps isn't mapped to menu anymore as joelz made some changes and that became non-functional for now.

Which option is the multitasking option?
I'm shocked that HTC hasn't made an attempt to fix this screw up. Regardless if they did it on purpose. Ok great, got it. But that was a bad idea and should be fixed. The multitasking is so annoying. I'll find myself filling out a form, then switch apps, then try to go back to the form and it reloads the page and kills everything I've filled out. AAAAHHHHH!!! Same with like copying and pasting a password from one app to another... I tried to ignore the hype about this issue while we waiting to receive our phones, but in the end, it really does get in the way. Can't wait for a vanilla android ROM.
Also, from what I've heard, there's not a single person on the planet that's actually happy about this. So why the heck isn't HTC changing it to appease everyone? Noone wants your stupid multitasking feature HTC! Shame on you.
EDIT: It is a sick phone though!

That's just a ui change, it doesn't change the way multitasking actually works.
In order to fix multi-tasking, you have to adjust the memory values which Viper's ROM does. Then it works fine no matter which multi-task UI you use...

[Q] Stock ICS instead of TouchWiz

I seriously dislike the TouchWiz UI. It's very boring and dull, I love the way stock Android looks with its dark and light blue theme, very minimalistic and intuitive and I hate the way TouchWiz is just black grey and a mixture of other colors. I'm using NovaLuancher but it only changes the home screen, I'm looking for stock android settings menu and notification/status bar. Is there a solution to this yet? Putting stock ICS on the Galaxy S3? Or are there any launchers or skins that make the settings menu and notifications look like stock ICS?
No one? I'd also like to know.

Check themes and apps section.. If you can't find any themes, then no.. Just hang on... There will be 100 theme releases soon where all is "aosp" and every rom is AOSP themed. Cm9 and aokp will sure also find its way some day

Forgive my ignorance but I've been a iOS user since the first iPhone and I just switched to ICS because I was sick of the iPhone. What is AOSP? I know what CM9 is, what would you recommend me to install on my phone?
AOSP stands for "Android Open Soruce Poject" it is basally the barebone android OS made by Google for all to see. Many roms are based off of it, as the code is release soon after googles flagship nexus devices.
I like aosp too but dont yiu guys think it makes the phone look cheap? I find touchwiz icons classy..
I would suggest waiting a month or so after your carrier gets it to put a custom ROM on it. By then a lot of bugs well have been worked out and there will be some great tutorials available.

no, because you can customize it to your liking. there are thousands of options.
to the op download a launcher and it might imprve your experience.
I doubt CM9 or other stock ICS ROMs will have features like smart stay or s voice...if they do include them, that would be awesome!
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
CM9 for SGS3 would be custom to suit the S3.. So I'm sure it would include all the features unique only to the S3....
I think the TouchWiz 5 UI is quite nice, MUCH better than the 4.0 on my SGSII, however, I use Nova launcher because S launcher is driving me crazy
Nevertheless, AOSP is still much better, and as the SGSIII is a hugely successful and famous device, so it won't take long for the first AOSP roms to spread from the ground Just have a look at the SGSII
cheers

[Q] SENSE apps on senseless roms

Good day fellow people on XDA.
I was wondering for quite a bit, if it was possible to maybe add, for example, the htc camera .apk to, maybe, the miui jb rom or any other rom without sense.
Actually, the only reason I'm staying on sense based miui are the miui apps and the htc camera. I know it might need the sense framework but I'd really appreciate any answer..
tl;dr --> Can I use the htc camera app on a non sense rom. I don't even need 3d, as this isn't possible.
THANKS FOLKS

This is CDMA though.. I'm on GSM.. rom looks cool though!
I guess I'll need to wait for JB sense 4 to get a sense 4 MIUI.. or whatever, I don't know
To the apps, I'd like the MIUI notes, miui backup, voice recorder, actually miui has got lots of great apps. Do you think i could just push them into the system folder and set the permissions?

I didn't really get what you're trying to do but if you want to flash MIUI on your GSM phone, download either one of the official MIUI below;
ICS MIUI 4.0.3 this is the last ICS based MIUI where everything works including 3D. This is build 3.2.22
JB MIUI 4.1.2 this is the latest BETA which is version 5, almost all stuff works except camera/camcorder 3D and is the latest build which is 3.5.24. Be aware though that if you flash this one, it doesn't come with onscreen keyboard and you will have to find a keyboard you can flash at recovery or install ( as an .apk ) using file explorer when you boot up. Also you have to flash Google Apps AFTER rebooting your flashed rom or else the home button will not work. You can download Google Apps here.

[Q] Best HTC Sense ROM for Rezound?

HTC Rezound
Stock ICS Rom - Rooted 4.0.3 Sense 3.6
S-ON
I'm looking for a new ROM for my phone, because the Stock ROM runs kind of slow. I've tried using Liquid Cool 2.9, but I had problems with reboots. I also could not change the default keyboard to the standard T9/Phone layout that Sense 3.6 has.
I'm having trouble finding a good Sense ROM to try out that might run much better than the Stock ROM. I'm requesting Sense in the hopes that it will have the T9/Standard phone keypad layout as an option.
I use EclipticRez v9 with the latest Lunar kernel. It is by Hawknest in the Android Development section. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962230 The ROM is linked off-site and the latest kernel package for it by Snuzzo is near the end of the thread currently. This has been a very snappy ROM/kernel combo for me. It does have the keyboard/phone/compact layout options on the HTC stock keyboard.
Sundream's Sense 4.1/4.5/5 hybrid ROM has a lot of promise too, but have yet to give it a go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419155
I would recommend to also consider looking harder for an aftermarket keyboard that has the layout you prefer and add that onto a Jelly Bean ROM if any of those work well for you.

Check PM if a Google search didn't do it for you.
Yes, Camera works well with more features than stock. Camcorder too. The only warning with those is *not* to attempt to take pics during video recording(keeps recording, but freezes display until exiting app), and avoid using burst shots on camera by holding button for shutter (sometimes works, sometimes crashes. No harm in trying on non-vital shots.) These are not features in stock camera, so nothing *lost* here feature-wise. Just don't have the extra processing chip newer HTC phones have dedicated for image processing.
Beats Audio is universal on apps on headset plugin, just like Sense 4 and up. Works fine and better than 3.6.
But it does have the phone compact keyboard? I would love a jb ROM if it had beats and could find the phone keyboard layout

EclipticRez has that layout. Uncertain which JB ROMs if any have that built in; may wish to find one you like first then ask about it for that particular ROM - or just try it. Try out Play Store keyboards as well. Still searching for one suitable here.
There may be Beats aftermarket mods on XDA for JB now, I also suggest the one I PM'ed as well, Viper4Android Audio.

decent sense rom
Hawknest's Ecliptic Rez was updated in May of this year to v.9. and Snuzzo
has been updating kernels constantly - last ones this week.
This sure is a daily user, no hiccups anywhere.
Great on battery with Funky Kernel.
I've flashed most all the custom roms trying new stuff, but keep coming back to ERez.
Another Vote for Ecliptic V9
I'm 99% sure I'd be done with my Rezound if it weren't for this ROM. Definitely a daily driver.
This is a ROM that I'd feel comfortable putting on someone else's phone. On my stuff, I'm willing to mess around and deal with odd bugs, but this is a daily driver for sure.
Sundreams ROM is good too
