omg, almost forgot, this is ONLY for 2.1 sense
you can view the Rosie.thm in notepad, all the commands seem to be there, i dont know if you can edit it and resave it as a .thm, so i dont know if you can make this work on 1.5. why not give it a try?
so i started messing around with metamorph, and i came out with this, and actually kinda like it.
its really easy to install
download the zip to anywhere on your sd card
download and install "metamorph" from the market
start meta, let it run its check (for root acess and the like)
then click on pick theme, navigate to the zip you downloaded, let it install (5s tops) and now you have a new espresso rosie! the blocks expand when you press them!!
future releases? any ideas? suggestions? requests?
this was built off of one someone posted a looong time ago, if you see this and wanna PM with your name and a link, ill gladly give credit!
this is my first mod ever, i know its lame, but im working on it, ok?
anyone have a strip down of the status bar? ill have fuuun with that one!!!!!!!
the best part of metamorph is, the fact that it only affects the files you tell it too. for example, most mods include an edit to the status bar AND rosie, because their both connected somehow. but with meta, theres no update signing or anything, its just putting in the right commands and images, and no need to boot recovery!!
i hope you enjoy!!

Thanks man

ahaha im going to get this thread closed again im so excited
...after i change my pants, i just wet myself a little
try it out and tell me what you think!
Tested and working. I see potential in this. Anyway you might share what you edited in the rosie.thm? Are there other modifications we could do?
Regardless thanks!

like i said, this is built off something someone else posted. i know you can view the .thm in notepad, i dont know if you can save, but i do see the commands, and a little research im sure i could get it down.
this is what the current thm says, i didnt touch it
Sense 2.1
any
Rosie.apk
/system/app/
i think its commands for meta, right?
telling it ot make sure we're running Sense, and 2.1
any version (the post i found this in mentioned you could do this in any 2.1 sense rom)
telling ot to push rosie to /system/app/
i think meta takes care of the rest. you just have to know what your running, what your pushing, and where your pushing it too...saves the hassle of signing and flashing an update, and COMPLETELY avoids the use of ADB
thank god,i never understood that

Not 100% worded correctly.
Rosie is the apk that will be edited, and it's located in /system/app
In the folder along with the scriptare folders that show the path inside the apk, and the files that will replace the existing ones. The script tells metamorph where to copy/replace the files in the folders to.

ahhhhhhh, so in theory....ifbwe ever found the correct xml file that sets the.params for the trackball, we could just meta it in....hint hint...
i know that made no sense.

Unfortunately the xml files are coded/in binary
So even if you uncode them with that one XMLS blah blah .jar,
you shill wouldn't be able to make it work on the phone....
IDK i'm probably wrong though. Probably WAY more in depth than that.
really cool! is it me or is the right design slightly off center compared to the left design?

Wow, that's some pretty awesome work!
I would love to know how to change the fonts and stuff for the hero.
Me too! I am a photoshop kind of guy. Hence the cool S2U2 stuff for WinMo. cause all that was was editing images, which i can handle... but all this signing, and actual code im at a loss. Where did you read up on making your theme? Maybe we can combine forces and crank out some really killer stuff. If you want to "check my resume" so to speak I used the same nickname at PPCGeeks, i was pretty into at one time, but i got banned from PPCGeeks, and switched to Android....

Look up Ratcom on here. His sig has the tutorials that got me started (its a bit confusing at first).
From what I can tell, to edit anything that isn't an image, its located in an XML file. The odd thing is that even Dreamweaver couldn't open the code correctly...
I'd be all for teaming up. My schedule is a bit crazy atm (finals week) but then I go on Xmas break and i'd love to do more with this theme. I've already got a couple more ideas...

Themes require NO coding. Purely PNG editing. You can open a ROM using a ZIP program (I like WinRar myself). All you do is find the image you want to edit, edit it, and overwrite the existing one.
Signing is very straightforward too, just follow the Ratcom links. You'll find a working mirror and instruction.

XML files located inside of an APK are effectively compiled, there's no way to edit / repackage them. You can Google search, there's a java "printer" which will convert them to TXT. But to change any of these, you've gotta start from the source code, make the changes and then compile the entire APK.
I could be wrong on this, but I believe HTC has released the GSM code but not CDMA. In this case we're stuck or would have to pull a compiled XML from a known GSM source. Actual ROM chefs can correct me.
So, since we are finally getting some stickies posted around here. A Theme creation write up would be a good idea if anyone wanted to take it on. I've never done it, I'm sure I am capable, just to lazy.
BTW. This looks good. Anyone test with Fresh 1.0? Most themes seem to have issues.

There already is, and riotkid found it. Look up Ratcom (check GSM Hero themes) and the link in his sig. He's got links to everything you need to know.
Haha awesome work! I love it.
Edit: Your taskbar is missing a bunch of the new icons. I assume you applied a different lock screen or something, right? Because vibrate, battery, and alarm are all new icons in fresh 1.0 but yours are the stock ones.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not terribly sure when it happened either. Probably when I flashed one of the themes for .07...I need to re-flash and rebuild stuff.
Maybe this should have gone in the "mods stickie" but I wanted to also say thanks to this forum and not everyone visits the stickies regularly.
I have learned more than I would have imagined before finding this site and Regaw has been instrumental in shortening the learning curve for me lately.
No offense to anyone, but IMO he has assembled the fresh1.1 of 2.1's...
THANKS REGAW!! - for your work and for being so dedicated to people enjoying it! and Thanks to Damageless for providing such stable... "resources" to work on and learn from.
My g/f has been ridiculously patient with me, at many times but, especially since I got our hero's a few months ago. I recently learned how to sign basic zips so I wanted to make something for her...
*edit - Thanks to xenio2000 I can now alter .9.png's!!!!!
This is such a breakthrough for me!!

Nice man the wife will really like this.
Hope you don't mind me asking a quick question I'v just notice you worked closely with Regaw on his rom and hope you might be able to offer some insight. I can't seem to get any of the boot screens to work even the one with the rom just shows black from a fresh wipe and flash. All of the zips flash fine, the files change in /system/media/bootscreen they just won't show. I tried Damages rom and can get the HTC bootscreen but flashing any others changes nothing I get the same htc bootscreen which is in a bootanimation.zip in /system/media/. If i remove the bootscreen.zip just get black bootscreen even though the files for the others are where they should be. This is the only thing that has my OCD acting up and i'm stumped. LOL Thanks for the dialer and any help you may be able to offer.

rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip
rm failed for /system/media/bootanimation.zip, No such file or directory
When I was testing it on damages Rom I removed the bootanimation.zip with android commander but not android_audio.mp3. but there was no change.
BTW nebenezer I'v got a Teal and Pink clock your Lady might like. My wife loves it but it makes me go cross eyed.
Thanks for the clock,
I'm at work right now so I cant be much help troubleshooting your bootscreen but I'm sure we can get it figured out.
One thing though, you should NOT have a bootscreen.zip in /system/media/bootscreen...
Maybe you need a different signed.zip
I have a couple from regaw that might work, if you don't get it sorted out by this evening we'll get it fixed.
The bootanimation.zip is only on Damages rom not in Regaw's it's in /system/media/ pretty sure it is supposed to be there on damages at least for stock.

OMG!!!! I've been wanting a pink theme for the longest time since we started messing with our phones! Thank u so much ...do u think you could do anything else in pink or pink with turquoise i would totally love it!!!
**this is not Casper, its his girl**
You wouldn't want to make a blue one of those or maybe teach a noob how to do it, would you? I've got tons of ideas, but no clue where to start!
if you flash another bootscreen from regaw, then delete the bootanimation.zip file from /system/media/ folder, it will work.
the bootanimation.zip file isnt needed if you want to install a custom boot screen
I'm almost finished turning the call button pink too
And yes, I'll be happy to make a blue one!
I'm still getting the hang of it so I probably wouldn't be the best teacher just yet. Let me get a few under my belt

I found the icon in the rosie apk but it's a .9 also, same problem I'm having with the call button. Once I get that fixed I'll do the button press and some other stuff.

Settings.apk. Koni has a clear version in his ROM that you can yank. However, the actual background itself is in com.htc.resources.apk. All the other icons are in Settings.apk. Oh, and the background is a .9 png, 'appwidget_bg.9.png'.

There's a theme with it. I asked about it a while ago but never really followed up. I'd like this as well.
where's the background and buttons for the android (not htc) search widget? I think I found it in framework-res.apk, but I still couldn't find the red g in the button at the end, just the google in the text field.

gotcha my bad. i looked in the settings.apk and thought about doing it that way but if i went into resources and made all those transparent then they would be stuck with the htcresources file that i choose and will lose it if he flashes anything new really

I know. That sucks. It's actually just 1 file in htcresources, the background for the widget.
The best way is either to either have them manually edit, or create a MetaMorph, so that it doesn't affect other settings.
I'm really starting to think that MetaMorph is the way to go, given the way HTC has the 2.1 framework spread out all over the place...
that's the beauty if doing metamoprh... you can change just the files you want within an apk or a jar, without changing anything else. And it's breeze to setup, much easier than an update zip, I think.

HtcSettingsWidget.apk is the wrong file. You're looking for Settings.apk. The HTC one is for the little rocker panel style widgets.
Also, you can configure WinZip to open .apks. Then its just a matter of editing .pngs.
That widget is from Konicub's Aloysius rom. You should contact him directly and ask for it.

we determined it wouldnt be possible to do without replacing his htcResources file completely cause there is a background file in there that needs to be changed. if he wants to post is hycResources file then i would be happy to create a flashable zip that will give him the clear power settings. but if he ever flashes a theme or different mod then he would lose it cause most of the mods and themes change the and once u change the file u lose what ever was changed in it before. the only way to avoid this is to create a metamorph file and i dont mess with that much.
I'll have ya a metamoprh either later tonight or tomorrow, depending on how busy I am today.
okay, put together quick, let me know if it works. It is a metamorph, not a flash, so won't change anything else.
Attached are a few modified Rosie.apk files for remapping the bottom sense launcher buttons / functionality.

EDIT: This post revised on 5/8/2009, reflecting the fixed version. Some of the posts/comments that follow are referring to the older (original) version and no longer apply.
The first attachment (RosieMT3G.apk) moves the phone launcher button to the left, the app drawer, with fully functioning up/down (open/close) arrows, to the middle, and replaces the 'add shortcut' button on the right with an 'open contacts' button, similar to the functionality found in Zenulator's MyTouch 3G ROM.
The second attachment simply removes the left / right buttons, leaving you with a center only button for opening / closing the app drawer.
This will NOT modify your launcher graphics (in the first example espresso & second example a custom droid style launcher), as this is controlled in com.htc.resources.apk, however, it will switch out the icons (as shown), on your current Rosie / launcher, null out the 'Phone' text, center the launcher icon, and of course, remap the buttons.
What this does/will give you is the entire sense experience, but with a more 'Vanilla' launcher like functionality. For some, the best of both worlds.
Known Bugs:
None currently!
Push the desired apk to your phone's '/system/app' directory, or drop on your sd card and click to install.
You may want to backup your existing Rosie.apk, should you wish to return to stock.

EDIT: For rosies modified with LWP support, see here.
EDIT 2: If you are designing a custom rosie using a concept / look similar to the stock HTC 3-button rosie, see here for an alternative XML file to replace in any of the attached apk files, to adjust the spacing used between buttons.
NOTE: After downloading your desired apk, rename to 'Rosie.apk' before pushing to your phone.
I decompiled Rosie yesterday and found a few .smali's to play with, but I got lazy. LOL Which ones are you looking at?
Edit, another suggestion would be downloading Zen's My Touch rom and rip apart Rosie from there. I loaded it up last night, but the 100% always on was killing my battery.

Yea, it's much easier to edit our existing rosie than to port over a different one using a newer/modified framework.
I was/am all other the place on this mod, but mostly working in 'launcher.smali' and 'Launcher$ButtonListener.smali', in addition to some XML edits.

Yea, I caught a few instances in Launcher.smail. I also saw there was one called slidingdrawer or something...You dont think the My Touch Rosie will give some insight on the bug?

I took a look at it, the framework is very different. Almost like apples and oranges. The bug is more related to the way I "hacked" it to work more than anything else.
Thanks for getting this working, now i can use the theme i made for zens rom the first day it came out, cus i really liked how it just looked cleaner, and the button mapping makes more sense logically. Thanks again.
Re: [MOD][WIP] Remap Sense Rosie Buttons
Thanks. It's by no means perfect, but it's a decent start.

Ha! Honestly, I'm not happy with it yet (it needs to be functioning perfect), but I don't have a lot of time right now to dig in deeper, but I'll get it eventually. However, it is good enough to be functional at this point...

There's pay? I was ready to pay YOU! lol
Thanks for everything you do man
Haha like Trev, it seems like you poped out of nowhere and all we see are threads with mods from you.
Sir I am impressed. Also I remember posting in the 2.0 lockscreen thread before anyone made it when it was just talk, saying that meh its pretty simular to the 2.1. But I was wrong its definitely a nice upgrade.

Odd thing happened when I flashed this over a theme. I like it actually. Good work.
For the community because I couldn't find any around.
24/05 - An updated framework-res.apk ONLY for CM-5.0.7-T3 ONLY! Apply this asper instructions below and change the clock and notification text colour to your preference in the Spare Parts app. CM-5.0.7-T3 ONLY. The 3G icon fix by suffeks is included.
OLDER - An updated framework-res.apk and services.jar based on CM-5.0.7-T2-N1 with the black Desire status bar, Desire icons, semi-transparent pull-down menu (framework-res.apk) and white notification bar text (services.jar).
Edit: I don't intend to maintain this or turn it in to a theme or morph. I just threw it out there. Kang it.
1. Push or copy to /system/framework
2. Reboot
These files are based on test files! Expect them to change or break when you upgrade!

Fair enough on the section... even though it's compiled rather than a theme... I could have put it elsewhere. The mods are pretty friendly round here though, so no harm no foul.
Didn't mean to step on your territory either... I couldn't find a morph for 5.0.7 that didn't break services.jar. Sorry if I didn't look hard enough. I take no creative credit, nor do I intend to maintain, I just thought it filled a gap. Perhaps I was wrong. If this is the case the mods can delete.

One more theme isn't going to hurt. The more the merrier.

no problem with your edit (i edit my service.jar manual by decompling it)
but just use correct section.
I think aso you can made a metamorph file for easy install.
Excellent, thanks for the update!
It's be awesome if pershoot would combine this + 15 apps + invisible lock screen + custom message.
=D
can this be flashed via recovery?
or do i have to push the 2 files to the appropriate places via ADB?
thanks in advance
EDIT: had to push the 2 files using ADB; works great, using it on nightly from yesterday
Nice, been looking for just the bar.
Ok, stupid question time, I have adb set up on my laptop, but the power cord is fried, need to wait for the replacement to come in. Could I just use root explorer to copy the files over? I'm guessing I'd need to mount r/w first though.

You can use root explorer after mounting /system as rw yes (do this with root explorer). Copy the files as in post #1 and reboot.
Bug
This causes the market to FC every time it tries to install anything.
I've wiped and reflashed cyan 507 t2 and all is ok. as soon as i push servicer.jar and the framework-res.apk it causes market to FC when it tries to install...
Using Root Explorer kept putting me in a boot loop, the phone reboots as soon as I try to replace the framework-res file. I threw adb on my store's pc, got it working just fine that way, thanks for this.
@adam, go to settings -> applications -> Manage applications and go to Market. Uninstall updates, and everything should work fine.

I got everything updated and running, but performance took a nosedive. Are the PNGs in this optimized?

Yes, colours, depth, size and transparency. In fact they're better optimised than the stock images. This was just a stop-gap until somebody releases a 5.0.7 morph or theme though.
it would be baller if this was added to the 15 recent app/invisible lockscreen mod from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=396

Wow! Keen eye... I see it also but only for a split-second before it changes to an H.
I've just released a beta of Kang-o-rama 0.7 and will endeavour to fix it for the final release of that.
