Default What UI are YOU, running on your Android build?

i was juss curious as to how other Rhodium owners have their Android setup. As far as looks go. Ive went thru a lot of different UI's already looking for the most stable one. Im Currently running the: Crazy Home Lite, FreedHome, Home(default), TagHome, and ZEAM. All of those are very customizable. Some let u use the Live wallpapers, and some dont. Some will even let u have up to 9 different screens, if u choose. it goes on and on on the type of mods u can do. |ike my AOSP build looks alot better n slicker thn some of these Sense ones. Its just the way i customized it, thats all.
So what are u using? or what have u done? Screenshots, even better..lol

Stock vanilla 2.1. home & launcher. I would like to get ADW launcher to work though. Those home replacement apps are lame. I had a phase where I would test every new home replacement app, but I always found that a decent modded launcher and stock home was the best combo. Most modded launchers will let you choose the number of home screens and which to set as the default. So many mods that I haven't been able to get working on this build. Wysie's contacts, ADW Launcher, now pushing Meltus' volume hack as I type.

I'm just waiting for the Evo 4G and Galaxy S to launch to make my decision on what phone to get. I'm not disparaging the TP2, I just obviously need Android on a native device. I need options.

The hottest, most advanced phone coming out is the Dell Streak. It drops this summer or september. Its a fully fledged 5 in Tablet PC with Capacitive touch screen, multitouch, Cam on the front and back(dual cam), 5in screen, Snapdragon processor, has latest bluetooth, wifi, and check this 3G CONNECTIVITY YEAHHHHHHHH....which means i can juss plop my sim in there and im good to go because its also a phone but being marketed as a Fully capable Tablet PC. My pops getting the EVO soon. ive been trying to school him on it and this website.

haved u ever tried to use the MetaMorph? i tried but it says i need busybox. if u look n the system file processes or whatever, we already have busybox or some version of it already installed in our builds. Its just not active or i dont know how to activate it to use it.

Yeah, I used MetaMorph to theme some parts of some former builds. I haven't tried it on the TP2 though.

I'm pretty sure busybox is in AOSP. Try running just "busybox" in terminal, you'll see that it at least is loaded. Whether it works fully or not, I haven't been able to confirm. I actually used some busybox commands when I was pushing the .csv volume hacks earlier today, but again, that didn't work.

I love AOSP.

Sense is a waste of resource for me--eye candy without significant UI improvement.
