I have achieved an an almost completely AOSP setup on top of DamageControl 2.08 using apks and MetaMorphs. If you would like to do this... follow the instructions below Screenshots attached.
Step 1: Make A Choice
Do you want 2.1 lockscreen (2 tabs) or 2.0 lockscreen (rotary)? Flash the according zips below.
Download 2.0 Rotary Style Lockscreen (Flash Via Recovery)-JsChiSurf
Download 2.1 2-Tab Style Lockscreen (Flash Via Recovery)-flipz
Flash whichever you like better (I have rotary-style lockscreen).
Step 2: AOSP Taskbar
Download this metamorph(thanks Gregalous!) to achieve an AOSP taskbar. It looks exactly as pictured in the screenshots below. FOR MARKET TO WORK AFTER THIS, YOU MUST CLEAR MARKET UPDATES. Go into Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Market->Uninstall Updates. This is an issue with metamorph. EDIT: I believe with the new metamorph you don't have to. Can someone confirm that?
Step 3: AOSP Apk Alliteration
Download Messages app (mms.apk) here and adb push it to /system/app.
Download AOSP Music (music.apk) here and adb push it to /system/app. After you did that, run rm /system/app/HtcMusic.apk through adb shell. That gets rid of HTC music.
Download AOSP Camera (Camera.apk)here and push it to /system/app. Then, using adb shell, rm /system/app/HtcCamera.apk to get rid of the HTC camera.
Download AOSP Contacts/Dialer (Contacts.apk) here and, you guessed it, push it to /system/app. This time, do NOT remove the HTC phone app. It will break phone functionality.
Download AOSP Clock (com.android.deskclock.apk) here
, and REDUNDANCY IS KEY, adb shell rm /system/app/WorldClock.apk and push this to /system/app.
Step 4: Get A Home
Pick the home app you want to use. I use Home++ (free, android market) and love it. You can use anything. (launcher2, home, openhome, etc.)
Step 5: Make It Live (Optional)
If you want LWP, flash this LWP in sense addon. I know it's for sense, but it will work with Launcher2, HelixLauncher, and a couple other replacements.
Step 5: Enjoy!
If you don't enjoy it, you forgot to be awesome. Don't ever forget to be awesome. I believe forgetting to be awesome is a crime in some states.

If you guys want to modify this in any way, feel free. Also, be sure to get the capitalization right on the apks, Linux sucks like that.

This is basically what I do with my ROM. I don't use the aosp camera because makes a large portion of the screen unusable and isn't as useful (or aesthetically pleasing imo) as the HTC version. I don't use the dialer or contacts because you can't replace the HTC dialer for incoming calls. Using two different dialers doesn't seem practical to me.

its pretty cool your using Home++
i used it on my g1 from the get go, raved about it, and nobody liked it the way i did :-(
also, it good to know metamorphing the taskbar is breaking the market for everyone else too. um, not really sure how to rephrase that to sound nice lol. too much weed...
its nice to have confirmation metamorph is breaking the market. hows that?

I guess that answers my question about whether or not there was a way to get the AOSP "in-call" screen with that dialer. Too bad, I really like the way the whole screen turns red when the call is ended.

Yeah, just go to jschisurf's page on the 2.0 rotary lock, he has a metamorph w/ a background. Not changeable from the phone, you need to put in a file and aaah google should have just let us use a background in the first place. lol.
I might just make a flashable zip when I get the chance, less work for all y'alls.

This isn't a rom. It's a mod to DamageControl, Fresh, Mengdroid, and any other Sprint-based rom to make it look aosp. Also, the AOSP Messages app will NOT send MMS when connected to WiFi.

It has been referenced that there are alternative home launchers (ADW) that enable you to remove the text underneath the icons on your home screens. The question was posed as to whether or not the same could be done with our stock Rosie, and via a few strategic edits, it can.
Attached is a MetaMorph that you can use to apply to your existing Rosie.apk, that will remove the text from the icons on the homescreen, while retaining any previous edits done to your Rosie launcher. It does not currently recoup the space that the text previously occupied, however, it does allow for a "cleaner" look.
XML MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using the latest MetaMorph Application
THM MetaMorph Control File <--- Apply using any older MetaMorph Application
Note: When modifying Rosie.apk, any of your existing widgets on all of your screens will likely get reset and need to be re-added.

Funny you ask, but you might want to pucker up .
In trying to figure out the mod posted, I actually accidentally did exactly what you are asking, but didn't think there would be much use for it, since there are a lot more apps in the drawer, and it may be difficult remembering what they are without the text.
i would also like it with out txt in the app drawer. But I'm using Darchdroid with AWD Launcher. Will it work?

Okay, the first post has been modified to include another MetaMorph for removing the text from the app drawer icons. It is separate / independent of the home screen mod. I personally think it is a little confusing / difficult to easily figure out what is what, but to each his own!
Reference:
Modified it to fit my theme figured I would share it
This looks great. I would love to use it but I don't know much about Metamorph. I have read some of the links that explains what it is,how to use it, and You-tube links where the creators explain stuff and still feel unsure as what to do exactly. My brain really doesn't work well reading stuff, I am more the kind that has to watch and see somebody do it to really get it.
Is there an idiot guide for metamorphing out there? Or somebody willing to walk me through it? The good thing is that when I learn it I don't have to ask again...

Being an end user of MM, it is really as simple as downloading the free app from the market, dropping the download link in the OP onto your SD card (in the AndroidThemes folder preferably), and applying with the MM application.

Sounds simple enough. Will give it a shot later.
Thanks.
To JsChiSurf:
I've applied two of your mods successfully (I'm a big fan). I have been using your "Vanilla Lockscreen WITHOUT Sprint/Time/Date text" and your "Remove 'End Call' Soft Key While Call is in Progress & Vibrate on Connect" for a while.
However, yesturday I applied 3 more of your mods: the "Remove Battery & Clock from Taskbar", the "Remove Text From Home Screen (Rosie)" and your "Android 2.0 Style Vanilla Rotary Lockscreen Clear Version" and I'm now having problems.
8-10 times today without warning, my phone completely shuts down. I go to check my phone or make a call, and as I attempt to clear the lock screen to get to home I find the whole dang phone has turned itself off. I attempt press the 'on' button -- doesn't work, requiring me to pull the battery to reboot (which then works fine). Big problem, as I have missed several work calls. I even put the phone on the charger, and returned later to find it had shut off. Battery temp and life are completely fine.
I ask, not to offend you, but only to ask if you have heard of this happening with any of your mods? I have nandroid'ed back to pre-mod and I am still having this happen. I had no problems prior to the 3 new mods yesturday. Do you maybe have any suggestions?
All the mods were applied successfully and I was very, very happy with their appearance and your awesome work. Could any of these mods maybe be incompatible with each other? Incompatible with Flips 2.1 version 1 ROM?
Let me just start off by saying, I put a TON of work into this, so I really hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. This is still considered a WIP, as I have more cool stuff coming down the pipe.
What we have here is what I like to call...

It may not seem like too much, but I must say, these modifications were so burried and locked down its not even funny. HTC obviously did not want resources like these to be modified, so flash at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage caused as a result of using these modifications. They are for educational purposes only.
New! Custom mappings! (Google Voice, Handcent, and Browser. More to come!)
(flash just like any rom. since this is a rosie replacement, there is a good chance you will need to redo/re-add all of your third-party widgets)

What's this "2.1" that you speak of?
hehe thanks for the kind words.
Any chance of getting this in a MM? I really do not want to apply this and erase my current theme.
I noticed that when pushing the phone button it doesn't light up green like the add widgets button does. Also, would it be possible to make it so the whole button turns green like in the espresso button?
thanks for your hard work this exactly what I've been looking for as far as the Rosie is concerned. It kills me not to use this I can't give up my manUp rEVOlution them. I had my fingers crossed hoping I could flash this on top of that because the combination would be killer. Sadly it doesn't mix well any chance you can make this compatible with that theme?????

Hey guys,
Bumping for suggestions.
I was able to successfully remap the right 'add to homescreen' button to any application. I'm looking for suggestions as to which applications you guys use most, that may need sexy rosie's attention.
So far I have

2- Handcent
3- Web Browser
4- Gmail
Looking for just a few more. Let me know what you think!

Would web browser go to the built in one or one that is set as default... for example if we install dolphinHD and set it as default, would it load that? (or perhaps just have an addition for dolphinHD if not).
besides that, the list looks good to me.
I would say the browser would be the best. Thanks for the rosie mod. The dock was the only thing I didn't really like in sense ui.

Trying to apply smooth green circle battery would overwrite this mod b.c. the sense images are in the framework am I right? If so OP could you add a battery with percentages to the modded framework?
This is my modified NexTheme that I had put together for GummyJar 2.1 (This theme will not work on Rubix.) By request I have ported it for compatibility with the 2.5 update. Again I would like to thank Manup for his timeless NexTheme and of course kejar for the great rom and all the countless devs and themers who contribute to our great community. This theme is basically the same as the one for 2.1 with more cleaned up framework and a couple changes which are a themed inverted gmail and themed inverted google voice. Here are some screenies....

Update
Here's a kind of cool little metamorph theme based off the Thunderbolt system dump the "Metal.apk" skin to be exact. This has only been tested and applied over Gummy 2.5 and my NexTheme Mod. I also included a dock for LP. I recommend applying the themes one at a time and applying framework-res last. Here's some screens...
Some instructions...
1. Download file
2. Place it in the AndroidThemes folder on your sd card.
3. Open metamorph and select unzip/extract new. If metamorph closes don't worry just restart the application and select existing theme.
4. Apply the apk's one at a time applying framework last and reboot.

This is an awesome ROM. Tried tranq, rummyrx, and this one is awesome. Is there any way to get the HD capabilities put back on the camera though? I used the "modes" on the video a lot and looks like it's the standard camera. I know it's blurless, which is good, but the full functionality of the camera would be the only thing I would have.

This rom has almost all AOSP apps which is the point of it. If you want a themeable blur rom look to ApeX or a deodexed stock rom. But for rom questions, bugs and request direct them to kejar's thread or the developer of the particular rom you are interested in or using. This thread is for the development of a theme for the GummyJar 2.5 rom let's try and stay on topic.

I'm certain I have seen some market apps that expand the options of the camera. Also google is your friend if there have been any enhancements or mods to aosp Camera.apk I am sure you can find them here.(before pushing or flashing be sure to back up your apk by renaming it to Camera.bak via a file explorer like root explorer.) One thing you will learn over time is that no rom is 100% perfect for 100% of the community. Some roms are geared toward speed ie gummyjar, rubix etc. Some are complete source builds ie CM and The Gem series for example. Some are hybrids...ApeX and I believe drod had a blur version of rubix for the .15 system files but I'm not certain if there's been continued development. You just got to flash a bunch and find what works best for you as a compromise between your wants and needs.

Hey again.
The Goal of this Project was to simply allow theming of the Sense UI for unrooted Devices. But in the past few days this project has grown into something more. The ultimate goal is to create a Sense Launcher that is completely independent from the framework. So far we are on track.
How it works.
With Sense, it is kind of difficult to utilize HTC apps by themselves. Reason is most of the apks call for resources from each other, and also they must share a common signature.
I started with Rosie.apk, the Sense Launcher, and have stripped it of that requirement. But, another concern arises. Once you have one instance of an application installed, Android does not allow you to install it again. So, how can you install a new Rosie without root access? Well, what happens next is I changed the package name of Rosie inside the smali and xml and the AndroidManifest, so the OS thinks it is a new application, thus allowing it to install simultaneously with the stock Rosie.apk, much like if you were installing ADW Launcher.
The Plan.
Currently, as of today June 30, 2011, I am only Rosie.apk modified to behave in this manner. I do plan to make the Widgets work as well. Right now, the widgets DO NOT work because, as mentioned previously, they require the launcher to have the same signature.
The Instructions.
Download from either link.
Install via a file manager like Astro or "adb install"
Press the HOME Key and it will ask you which Launcher you want to use, select "HttC Sense". hehe. HttC.
Enjoy!
To revert back to Stock Rosie, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and clear defaults under HttC Sense....or.....Use THIS APP
Note, if you do not want to start over with new homescreens each time, I suggest installing via:
adb install -r Rosie-vx.x.x.apk
The Goods.

Concerns.
Install Won't Work
This is for everyone with problems.
adb install works with the file from the computer, not the sdcard.
YOU have two options:
NOT RECOMMENDED
Mount sdcard as a disk drive
then run
adb install -r /Volumes/sdcard/download/Rosie-v0.9.9.apk
OR, preferred method,
download to computer
type
adb install -r /PATH/TO/Rosie-v0.9.9.apk
for example:
PC:
adb install -r C:\Users\Persnlmgr\Downloads\Rosie-v0.9.9.apk
MAC
adb install -r /Users/tommytomatoe/Downloads/Rosie-v0.9.9.apk
Why don't you just work on getting Root Tommy?
Good question. I like to learn new things but figure out exploits in an Android OS requires great expertise, of which I do not have. I also like to do what I am good at. Plus, it will be awesome for unrooted devices to have customizations unique to rooted devices.
Will this mod/hack/app work on Rooted Devices?
I am sure it would so long as you are running a ROM with com.htc.resources from OTA 4.24
Why Can't I see the HTC Clock/Calendar/Bookmarks/Et Cetera Widget in the Add to Home Screen?
Explained above. Something to do with Signatures. In the plans to make all the Widgets Work.
This Project is dumb!
It may or may not be dumb, but I feel that is a challenge to mod and development even on locked devices. Even if the main system Tweaks can't be achieved, it's still cool to me to be running a 4x5 Workspace while unrooted.
Please please Post all concerns and questions or Requests. Remember. This is for me as well as for you.
I thought this was Cool. Thank you Greenfieldan! Click Here

Dude, congrats! That is pretty damn cool. If I wasn't already rooted I'd definitely have to give this a shot.

Nice work man that's cool idea.

Really great idea Tommy. I sort of saw this coming but I thought it would happen over in the Evo3D thread where they all seem to be just dying to mod their new phones.
Your idea for 4x5 is great.......this is not dumb, it's a challenge! There are lots of folks stuck unrooted for lots of reasons. Gotta give them something....
I've recently discovered that there are several other mods you can do to an unrooted Evo if you can get your MSL.
You can access the data menu ##3282# to tweak 3g and 4g settings (speed and connection).
You can change the sprint banner on the lock screen with QPST.
You can change your PRL ##775# to force roam if you need to.
You can even increase the volume. (did the others, haven't tried this one)
I can't wait to see what else you come up with while we wait for 4.22 root!
Thanks misfit! Was in a hurry running late for work so I didn't add everyone to my list.
Steve, nice info. Great for peeps to know.
I realize that a minority if peeps who visit xda are rooted or are attempting to root, so this seems kind of silly. But a surprising majority of Android users don't care about root. I have many friends who haven't rooted or have rooted to only tether. But of this group of people I know some would .like a little more customization.
I know personally I have enjoyed many tweaks that are normally not possible. I hope to bring some of these to the everyone who would like to use them. For now I think this will be a personal project but I will continue to post more updates as I make more widgets work.

Congratulations on making this feat work without root! I would definitely want it even if I didn't care for root. The only thing I don't like is the fact that all htc widgets have to be resized to work with 4x5. Btw I'm running the 3d rosie for synergy and I am LOVING your transparent notification mod.. but how do I invert the menu background transparent to match?

I posted one earlier today that has the inverted notifications built in. It may be in the OP of synergy thread.
It has a clear bar, so if you like transparent you will have transfer the png over. The correct image us called statusbar_background.png

Ok, sorry but I meant when you're on the home screen and press ur "menu" button, the little popup menu that appears at the bottom of the screen lol. I found the png in a rom a while back but I completely forgot where I saw it! I would then need to make that text white but I don't know how

your a beast tommy nice work
A little update.
Rosie now has remappable right button for the unrooted. Will work on making both buttons work. I'm at work so I will upload later tonight.
Again, these mods aren't useful for rooted persons, but tell your unrooted friends they can launch Facebook with the right button. Hehe

Mmm. Funny you should ask. Is there a screen shot app out there without root? I'm checking now
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Here some screenies. Was a pain to get ScreenCapture app to work!
Okay, I try installing the 092, I hit Home and get my choices, choose HttC, I get the purdy red and white TommyTomatoCustoms screen, and then I get an FC that goes by so fast I can barely see it, but I think it's "process.???"...
Gonna uninstall, reboot and try again...
Update: No go. Still getting FC - "process.com.htc.launcher.tommytomato"
Update 2: Thought you might've up'd to 4.24, so I did, and still nada zip zero (although now Netflix works!)...in fact this time when I hit the Home key it no longer offers the 2 choices, just shows me my 5 screens...rebooting to check again..
Update 3: Still no go...hit Home get 5 screens...nadazipzero...uninstalling and awaiting your sage advice...
Hey Neil. With v 0.9.2 you need to install the launchKey app first. I bet you that is your issue. Please give it go. Uninstall all versions of HttC sensex then install launchkey, the install v0.9.2

Beautiful theme, but I seen to have a problem. I installed through tweaktools and cannot add app to homescreen. When I long press and then click shortcut it fc the launcher everytime . Also I can no longer access my settings menu. Let me know what you need from me because I really want to get read odd my third party launcher.

Nice work except you left the Eclipse launcher in there. I dont know if this was on purpose, but wouldn't it be meant for eclipse not tweaked and cause problems?
Actually now that I think I about it I Get a fc of eclipse launcher. Didn't hit me because I used to use eclipse, but not anymore.

I use the eclipse launcher because it's so awesome (themed stock GB launcher) and it runs fine for me on normal tweaked.

When I was testing tonight I was unable to replicate the problem. I installed the theme through CWM not sure how tweaktools installs it. Could be a bad download or flash? Either way I'll add the themed touchwiz launcher to the addons section of the OP.

FWIW I couldn't replicate the problem either, and I used tweaktools.

Tweaktools also uses a CWM for installation. Its different from your package cause it also has some 'standard' apks to undo other themes. The cwm is pretty straightforward but does not wipe anything, cause theres no real need to.
But like witherell said, I installed via tweaktools and no FC with the launcher.
Well like I said IT had to have just been a bad download, because redownloaded and installed and works and looks great. But does anyone know of a way to use custom icons I don't like the green go sms.I tried finding it with root explorer and replacing the graphic but couldn't fix it.

Works great, but for whatever reason it does not support Samsung widgets, it wont even show the widgets to choose from....
Specially the buddies now widget
Installed this through TweakTools this morning. Love it! I noticed for my setup, which of course does not apply to everyone, the GMail icon is not themed. Is it supposed to be? Or is there a way to get a color-themed Gmail icon?
Thanks again, this looks awesome!
two questions. Is there a way to make the home screen only 1 screen instead of 3 or 5? Why does my wallpaper get so much bigger (as in looks like a close up now) than it did with tweaked 2.0?
thanks for the work, it's very nice.

agreed, would like to see only 2 screens (or at least give the user the option to add/remove screens).
regarding the wallpaper, I'm told that quickpic could fix that...
Tried quickPic. Love it, big improvement over stock gallery, but it does not change (fix) the wallpaper issue. Still liking the theme a great deal.
Try Wallpaper Wizardrii from the play store. It lets you crop/resize wallpapers to fit your homescreen. I have not used it very much, but others seem to like how it works.
