I am a huge fan of the Fresh builds by Flipz over at Geek For Me – Sprint Evo 4g & CDMA Hero. I have a proposal for a new build (once able, of course) and wanted your guys opinions....

I think most of us agree the best part of HTC's 'sense' is the widgets. HTC designed the Sense UI back in Android 1.5 days and it's a bit dated.

The Froyo version of the Picture Gallery, Music Player, Dialer, App Drawer and Lock Screen are far superior to the Sense iterations.

I think this would be the best build on the EVO:

Froyo 2.2 'vanilla' build on the EVO with all Sense widgets.
All hardware working. (cameras, 4G, etc)
30FPS fixed
Built in Tethering Ability
Build in Overclock Utility
Sprint Apps Gone (ability to install later)

I'm talkin' the actual Froyo build here, not something that 'looks like' Froyo, not the HTC build with Sense disabled (still keeps the HTC Music, Gallery, Dialer, Lock screen etc.). I'm talkin' the full whammy, 'extra pickles' awesomeness.....

I've already donated some $$ to Flipz, but if he can pull off this build, its worth a lot more $ to me...a lot. I'll definitely put out more if he could pull this off.

Who agrees with me? Would you like this EPIC build on the EVO?

I like sense but I really like the vanilla android app drawer and the way it flies in when you hit the menu button. I also like their 3D picture gallery. And that it supports landscape for your home screens. But I like Sense's leap, 7 home screens, the weather widget with full screen animations and the friends stream widget, and the keyboards both dialer pad and qwerty/portraid mode. I wish Sense had all those things I like about stock android. It would be perfect.
