Drupal 7 Views - How to access unformatted $row variable in a custom template?

Question

I just installed Views module for Drupal 7 and am trying to find out how to customize it.

So far, I have done the following things.

1. Created a content type specified views and named it as 'videotest'.
2. Created a custom theme as 'views-view-list--videotest.tpl.php'
3. The page is working without a problem.

Here is the custom template code I used (this is the default template from Views):

<?php print $wrapper_prefix; ?>
  <?php if (!empty($title)) : ?>
    <h3><?php print $title; ?></h3>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php print $list_type_prefix; ?>
    <?php foreach ($rows as $id => $row): ?>
      <li class="<?php print $classes_array[$id]; ?>"><?php print $row; ?></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  <?php print $list_type_suffix; ?>
<?php print $wrapper_suffix; ?>

How do I prevent Views to format $row for me? I like to format each values in a node myself using foreach.

I tried to set the view style as 'unformatted' with unformatted custom template, but it also style each value for me.

You should to use fields templates not 'Display', 'Style', or 'Row'.

Or you can use both fields in 'Row' template. Ex:

print $fields['you_field_value']->raw;

Name of 'you_field_value' show as part of link in fields list of view display.
