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?

I must say, I do love the current lockscreen. HOWEVER, change is good, and imagination should be encouraged.
How to get 2.1 Lockscreen
If you have the sdk installed on your pc you can try this
Plug in your phone and open CMD and type
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app/
rm HtcLockScreen*
exit
Now reboot your phone and enjoy!
This will give you the normal lock screen that you will see the the droid and N1 (2.1 lock screen)

without the Htclockscreen there is no way to silence/sleep the alarm, so you will have to use a different application.

That's not true. A dialog box will appear asking if you'd like to snooze or dismiss alarm, the same with the N1.

The link i posted was too someones custom rom. The thread contains lots of themes and ad-ons. Everything is already uploaded, and the one that says 'Both Animations' followed by 'Bouny menu' and 'Window Transition'. I hope you dont mind tearing apart the ROM, but on the other hand, theres also lockscreens and possible color changes. This thread could be valuable in the making of custom 2.1 themes that we've been looking for. All the pieces are there, especially if its just a matter of porting something from 1.56 to 2.1 or whatever it takes to make the old tidbits (such as icon highlight color change or bouncy menus) work with the new. Or another rom with another rom? Whatever the issue is, theres a nice stripdown and at LEAST a beginning.
Anyone know where can I might find an update.zip for a clear/ transparent power control widget? I've used the infamous search button and pm'ed people that had it in their themes to no avail.

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.

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: Updated 5/25/10 with new versions supporting Fresh 2.1.2. See Here for downloads.
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 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.

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.

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...

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.
This is an adaptation to the original MT3G style rosie remap, where, instead of the right button opening your contacts, it instead opens the camera. I did this because there were numerous requests for this same functionality. I started a separate thread, so as to not have this mod buried in the original.
This is based off of Fresh 2.1.2 Espresso, and the MetaMorph(s) below adjust the stock espresso graphics to accommodate this mod, alter the button icons, inject the camera icon I made for this purpose, etc.
For photo aficionados (those who take lots of photos), this makes the camera functionality readily accessible, while freeing up additional space on your home screen for other commonly used applications.

That is a very nice and clean looking screen, mind listing all the mods you have running there?
This is just what the doc ordered. I have always wanted my cam linked to this button (that original + was stupid because it is redundant.....just as easy to long press the screen to add content). Though I would prefer the phone button in the middle, this is one of my favorite mods yet. Great work JsChiSurf!

Thanks. I was definitely thinking it would be nice to provide different alternatives for the left/right buttons, there's just so many possibilities. But, I think it "should" be relatively easy to have the left/right buttons point to other built-in system type apps, like, mms, browser, mail, etc. We've already got contacts via the original mod.
Where do I download JUST the clear HTC Clock/Weather widget? I have been wondering about that but have never been given a straight link
Yea I think it would be cool to have different rosie. What I'm looking is to have 5 items on the launcher. Can you pm me with some pointers so I can give it a shot.

Unfortunately, it would be VERY difficult to add more functionality to the Rosie (greater than the current 3), without major re-writes to both the XML and smali code.
I kind figured it will be a major project to rewrite everything.
wow, nice JsChiSurf ... thx greatly appreciate ur mods.
Do u plan on doing any mods for ZenEXP MT3G Slide rom too? Im going back to that rom so I was just wondering .... would love to see ur "no end call" mod and well now this one for ZenEXP

I have to pick a ROM and stick with it. The time invested in doing mods just for Sprint based ROMs is consuming enough, unfortunately.

Thanks JsChiSurf for all of your work and Mods. I love them all but the Buckeye lock screen the most
You sir are a true Buckeye! Nice work man. I was using your old expresso one, now I might have to switch to this one since I never use the Contacts button. Nice work again man.

Same here. I always access contacts, if necessary, by first pressing the phone icon anyway. I use the camera enough that I had it on the home screen, so now, I can remove the icon from the home screen (since it's now in the espresso bar) in favor of another commonly used app.
For me the XDA app got promoted to my home screen .
Re: [MOD] Remap Rosie --> Phone | Apps | Camera - Fresh 2.1.2
How about one with ....
messages l apps l camera
The phone can b accessed by the phone hard key so it would b nice to have the messages add in place ...

So I have started to work on my draft theme lol if you can call it that (mostly just a few icons themed mostly Miui based). Being a noob to this big world of themeing, this is actually taking me some time. I'm a sucker for Transparency so I started by doing some icons to give my Lockscreen matching icons and it just kept going. This has a Transparent Notification bar with themed quick settings icons, other than that its pretty much stock minus few icons here n there. So if anyone wants to try it out, give suggestions, tips I'd appreciate it.
Just flash in recovery (as always make sure you have a nand backup and wipe caches).

*Thanks to Burst for his awesome theme that got me to work on this, plus all the help answering my countless questions thrown at him.
and Thanks to dbilliter for his theme that inspired most of the look.
*Bugs: Not sure if its a bug to my themeing but If background data is turned off, going into calendar day view will crash the Launcher with a "The Application HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly" and restarts itself. It doesnt restart the phone just restarts launcher.
Turning on background data and Syncing weather will fix.
Alternatively... Settings -> Applications -> Manage application -> under ALL tab, clear data for HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.
A special thanks to all of Synergy Mynions for all the help and wisdom they share in the Synergy Thread
Really, really clean looking.

Again nice theme. I just flashed it and I even changed up my homescreen icons to match it better.
I really really like the look of those icons we talked about. So good, I might do something like that for the kanye theme.
Great look!

Ya im trying to find a white google music icon, My other google icons are laughing at it lol. Stupid work pc no photoshop!
If you need any help with some graphics let me know. I am no photoshop master, but I do ok. And I have some nice 3D modeling programs too.
So how do ppl feel about themed icon apps? I started swapping out icons to get my app drawer and recent apps icons switched out. I just tried my hands on google music since I count find any. I guess I should look up rules for app icons.

It is fine to change the app icon. The only problem you run into is when there is an update to an app, you have to manually change the icon again. Also, you would only be able to do this for free apps (if you were posting the apps with custom icons). For paid apps, you will have to post the icon and let tell people how to change them on their own. You could dedicate a post for showcasing icons though, with a set of instructions.
Example:
1. Right click on the appropriate icon and save the image to your computer.
:icon: :icon: :icon: :icon: :icon:
2. Transfer the .apk to your computer.
3. Open (DO NOT EXTRACT) apk with any archiving program (winzip, winRAR, 7zip, etc.)
4. Open res/drawable folder
5. Replace 'icon.png' with your icon named 'icon.png' (72x72 or 96x96)
6. Close the archive program
7. (You may need to resign the app) Auto-sign is a simple way to do this.
8. Transfer the .apk back to your phone and re-install.
That is one way, there are several. I like to do it on my computer. Also, APK Edit will easily allow you to change the icon, when the program opens, just click the icon and browse to the file you want to use to replace it. It will name it appropriately and resign the app in one step.
I really like the look of those icons, but I have a theme right now on Synergy that I really like. Could you perhaps just give me the icons, please? Thanking you anyway.
