Was wondering what PHP folks have used for frameworks in regard to the following:

1. This is a "framework" question, not a CMS question. Don't need a CMS.
2. The site is up and running already, so I don't need a RAD / Agile / BlahBlah environment for starting from scratch. Just need to port to some better standard.
3. The site can have many themes with the same functionality, driven by the same database and processors. It can also be "white labeled" to have it's own database, processors and a bit of varying functionality but driven by the same code base.
4. I've checked out CakePHP and don't really dig it. I'm currently looking at Symfony which looks promising but pretty heavy in regard to installation, though my fav so far. A developer I work with is evaluating CodeIgniter.
5. The code base will not only facilitate webpages but will also have hooks for API calls and "widgets" of sorts (however abstract that shit sounds).

My dream would be a very configurable framework with a solid database abstraction layer of sorts as well as being extensible. We're not going Java and are committed to a LAMP stack. We've had our RoR discussion months ago and aren't going that route either.

Any input on what people have used including pluses / minuses would be very welcome.
Thank you kindly kids.
