Ok, so I know all the files that need to be changed to get the Espresso Rosie except for one (or maybe two, I don't know) and that's the one that causes the shadow and the little track-bar-that-shows-which-screen-you're-on. I'm almost positive that this is contained in an .xml file within the Rosie.apk but I have no clue which one. So would anyone who's successfully ported over an Espresso Rosie clue me in please?
Thanks in advance.
Those files are in com.htc.resources.apk. If you're porting over to the newer 2.1, than ALL the Rosie files are there. The only thing thats part of Rosie.apk now are the + and arrows as well as the remove button.

Ya I know where all the .pngs are. I've changed all of them to Espresso however the round shadow that goes behind the Stock Rosie remains (and the screen indicator). Those are what I'm trying to find.

Gotcha. Thats a .9.png file. I wouldnt recommend editing it. Let me see if I can find mine thats already transparent and i'll attach it for you...
Found it!
Figures that after I make a post about it I would find it. Thanks for your help obannvi.

Since a lot of people are flashing between several 2.1 ROMs and (as far as I know) none of them have, by default, a clear lockscreen.
I whipped up this MetaMorph theme to solve this issue. Now, you merely have to download this .zip, run it in MetaMorph and reboot, and voila! Clear lockscreen
THIS IS FOR 2.1 SENSE ROMS ONLY.
I have only tested this on Fresh 2.0c, however it should work on DC and DarchLegend as well. If anyone wants to confirm that'd be great.
How do you use this, you ask? Well, let me tell you!
Download the attached .zip
Download MetaMorph from the Market (donate version, preferably!)
Copy the .zip to a folder called AndroidThemes on your sdcard
Start MetaMorph (give it SU permissions and go through the checks), click Pick Theme and select Clear_Lockscreen
Click com.htc.resources.apk
Click 'Apply'
Give it a little bit of time to update. When it's done, reboot your phone, and your lockscreen will be nice and clear
Also, please feel free to use this as an example for future MetaMorph themes. Personally, I find that using MetaMorph is much, MUCH easier than creating all new update.zips, as this allows you to only change certain files within certain .apks which makes it very versatile and practical.
Enjoy
No screen shots of the clear lock screen? Also, does this screw with the alarm clock as well?

Yes, numerous times. Didnt work.
Works on DamageControl v2
What is metamorph? just flashing a zip isn't enough anymore? When did this metamorph show up?
Unless I'm missing something, this isn't a clear lockscreen. It's just the clear lockbar that we've had without issue. A clear lockscreen is what we are after.
The attached is nothing more than an update to com.htc.resources.apk to remove the lockbar. Don't need any sort of special application to do something that simple
Having said that, it is nice, especially with the merger of so many different graphics into fewer apks with 2.1, to be able to just flash a diff, for affecting only certain things, without changing / affecting other mods someone may have already done...

Exactly. This is the biggest advantage to using MetaMorph over update.zips and what I was trying to stress in my first post
And to the post 2 above this: MetaMorph has been around for a while, it just never gained much popularity in phones that used Sense.
Is there a clear lock screen for 1.5 available?

Having some issue where the lock screen doesn't change with scenes. If I reboot though it chooses the proper lock screen for that scene.

Hey guys. It seems like in the thread merging of the various theme threads, the white taskbar that I used to be able to find for 2.1 has gone missing. If anyone has it, could they post it up here? It's the white one that looks exactly like vanilla... I don't mind if it has 3G text or EvDo text either.
EDIT
I should mention that this is regarding Damage Control or Fresh... not Legend roms.

Don't know if this is the one you are looking for or not. It contains more than just the taskbar, but you can certainly use as a starting point / modify accordingly.

unless its metamorphed then it will change ur icons at the top. the png is in the framework files so what ever the framework file where someone changes the png will also change the icons that are in the framework file. like mentioned above the only other alternative is to use a metamorph to just change that one file.
Can you point me in the direction to that through metamorph?

Does anyone out there know if there exists an APK of the Power Control Widget, but clear? I tried doing it with some metamorph zips I found, but they didnt work at all.
The clear part of the widget is spread across different framework files. Well, actually just the one. So, you'd have a modified com.htc.resources.apk to deal with. Better off just doing it yourself.

It is called appwidget_bg.9 and it is located in /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
unzip the .apk file and locate the png in res/drawable-mdpi folder
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
While we're on the sunject, where do I change the color (and potentially shape) of the green bars below the widget. Like, the green indicators that show that you have one of the options set to on.
I can pull the .apk and do it myself, I just need to know where Thanks!
I've asked a few people and searched like crazy with no real answer so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm running Calk's HD rom and it's awesome. I would just prefer a 4 row app drawer as opposed to the 5 it comes with. Is there an easy way to change this? I haven't been able to locate the setting in the rosie.apk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What if you use adw launcher? You can change it from 3 to 8.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/adw-launcher/org.adw.launcher
Oh wait I think he is using adw, well then go to settings, adw launcher settings, screen preferences, under desktop layout change the Desktop Columns from 5 to 4.
Thanks. I'm referring to sense though. I should have specified. I know how to do it with adw and launcherpro. I wish it were that easy in sense.
Get to duh choppa!
ah crap, sorry
You need to decompile your Rosie.apk and change the "5" value in the all_apps_view.xml (its actually titled something like that) to a "4". Then you will need to recompile and flash.

Thanks so much. It looks like to do this the xml would need to be converted first or done with hex editing. Way beyond my skill. But I'm going to trying recompiling the apk using the all_apps_view.xml from a different rosie with a 4 app drawer. I'll post my results.
That didn't work. Not sure the setting lives there. The rom I grabbed the all_apps_view.xml file from has an opaque app drawer, calk's has transparent. After compiling the rosie with the new xml file and rebooting, I still had a 5 row app drawer but the background was opaque.

there are 3 changes to be made.... one is the one u were given already.
keep in mind that u MUST decompile cuz it changes things inside the resources.arsc file
the second one is inside values/integer.xml
change
Code:
<integer name="allprogram_grid_columns">5</integer>
to have the value 4 instead of 5.
and in values/dimens.xml change
Code:
<dimen name="all_program_grid_view_horizontal_spacing">1.0dip</dimen>
to have the value 6.0dip.
that should work.
good luck.
edit:
just saw u said u using the HD rom... i was referring to the a non HD rosie... so although it should still be the same thing, it might not be... so keep that in mind in case it wont work... but thats how u would do it for the regular Rosie.

Ok, that's a little over my head considering I don't even see the xml files you're referring to. I'm only able to play with what I can see by unpacking the apk using simple methods. Changing the all_apps_view file changed the drawer background, which is undesired. If I simply swap out the the full rosie.apk from the other rom, I can achieve the 4 row drawer with the opaque background but I'm looking to retain the translucent. So, perhaps it's easier to start with the other rosie with the opaque background and modify that to have a translucent background? Can using the original all_apps_view accomplish this or is there an easier way?
