This is just a simple tweak to Myn's Sexier Rosie that gives a 5x7 workspace. I have NOT made the standard edits to the various HTC widgets, however - it is more intended to be used in conjunction with Desktop Visualizer and other similar widget programs. HTC Widgets will be truncated and overly small unless edited to fit the 5x7.
So if you like Launcher Pro or other similar launchers, but want the speed of Rosie and don't mind working without 5 launcher bar buttons, hereya go.
As a side note, if anyone has an idea on how to program 5 launcher bar buttons in to Rosie, please contact me, I'd love to chat.

<edit: I should probably mention that the rosie graphic included here was designed by DG4FREE, and uses my Steel on Glass text icons.>
Sounds cool can't wait for widget mods.
I really want to try this; but how do I install it?
I tried mounting system as r/w through SUFBS, but no go.
Do I need to push it via adb or something?
Thanks!
UPDATE: I tried adb push to system/app ... but now I don't seem to have Rosie at all...

Hereya go. Again, this is Sense, not Sense 2. The widget in the bottom left is mClock 4x2, next to Circle Battery 1x1. The line is actually two 1x2 widgets with Desktop Visualizer and a custom graphic. The text icons are 2x1 with Desktop Vizualizer, and there are also two clear 1x1 DV widgets just above the clock.
I use the two line widgets for gmail and sms, and the two clear widgets for alarm and calendar.

Yeah, Sense 2 apks are a little more invved than straight up Sense. About twice the size, so it's possible the there's another reference I need to change. I'll letcha know if I get it.

Here are 2 apps that I love on my Nexus that also work on the Evo. Just install with an app like Astro from the SD card.
Download the Genie Widget here
Download the Launcher2 here
Launcher2 is already built into the EVO at launch.
so what is the genie widget?
The Genie Widget is the News & Weather application/widget that's originally for the nexus one. I really like it.

Download Home Switcher and you'll see Launcher2 is the other thing built into the EVO other than SenseUI

Or search google and find out how to disable sense UI then when you hit home it asks you which you'd like to use. But I'll point out that if he is pulling Launcher 2 from CM then it may do the 5 wide plus it had some fixes.
I too like the genie widget but is there ANY way to configure the way the widget looks? I'd really just like to make the background solid black and all the text white. Is this possible? Or make the background transparent and the text black. Either would be great.
My evo didn't come with genie widget. It did come with that news/rss reader that is very similar though. But I like the weather in genie widget a lot more because you are really only one click away from radar and can actually see details about the forecast from within the app. The one that comes with the clock kind of sucks. Just tells the highs and lows but with the genie widget weather you can see what time its going to start raining and stuff like that.

Do you still have this. i have a version of Launcher2 but it's the cube app drawer type and the ADW looking home screen dock. I prefer the older style and i'm wondering if this is indeed what im looking for.
Thanks
Just something fun I whipped up... includes some basic iPhone icons i created from various screenshots of the iPhone 4 as well as a pretty nice iPhone-esque rain drops wallpaper.
Enjoy!

Sorry guys, I should have been more clear. All this consists of is icons and a wallpaper. To achieve the "look" you need a few simple non-root programs such as better cut and folder organizer to change the icons. I also used adw launcher to get the iPhone styled app drawer and the dock you see in the screenshot.
Absolutely no root required!
I use ADW Launcher aslo but I cannot figure out for the life of me how you got 4 icons on the bottom like that. I mean the quick launch icons at the bottom.
you need to disable the page dots, then you are able to select the choice to add 2 more buttons in the place of the dots.
Excellent. I have it now...one more question...how do I replace the dialer? I have all the other icons replaced but when I go to create a new shortcut I do not see dialer as an app?

on the Incredible you will have to select new "Activity" in BetterCut and it is listed as Phone in there.
Excellen thanks. I found it under activities and it was called phone.
Cool work. Looks good...it was only a matter of time until someone wanted their incredible to look like an iPhone. Lol oh the irony! Because when you hold it...it gets reception
I did it just for fun... i switch between ADW.Launcher (my iPhone theme) and LauncherPro (My Android theme) just to switch it up. To be honest, when using the Android iPhone theme I always feel like that is how the iPhone OS should have been!
hey rocket man! do you have a page with all your icons?
all of the ones i ported are in the zip file. i'm thinking about making a "goodies" page on Grafixpressions.com where all of our fun stuff will be posted, but it may take me some time to set that up!

Sorry if I was unclear! I was refering to if you had other icon designs besides this? I'd like to check them all out!
Having an HD2, I simply loved what Cookie has down with the look and feel of the UI, my only problem is the phone just sucked, lol. Ok, that was too much, my bad you HD2 owners browsing, but I really like how Cookie made a smaller version of the clock/weather widget for the homescreen. Here is a pic, outlined in red of course lol.

Also, another cool touch was the clock would flip to a new time, here is a video

I even notice some guy with an iPhone hacked Sense UI with a working flip clock, lol:

I think Home++ does this, not for sure, anyway to extract just the time/weather widget from it?
Here is some pics of Home++ clock/widget
Please does anybody know how to get these 2 working on Android?
Unsure of the name of that program , but you can test out :
I find it almost like the HTC Clock only smaller.
YR.no Widget

Thanks.
Tried it, ran very slow on my Evo, it was a nightmare so I deleted it.

Well you could try Beautiful widget in the market

Fancy doesn't have a smaller clock, just the large one.
Beautiful Widgets has the smaller home.
beautifual widgets does the job for me
beautiful widgets doesnt have the white flipclock like HTC , only a dark one that doesnt look veyr good
Fancy Widget looks amazing, just liek the real deal, but I have a problem where the time sometimes gets stuck and you have to refresh it manually
Thanks, I will try it out

What's that Twitter widget called? I'm using the official twitter client but the widget has a white background. Sorry, i'm new so i can't post urls.
edit: Nevermind, found it!
Can it be done? I'd love to see a Fancy Widget theme where it was just the weather portion and a transparent background, that would be amazing How do you even go about theming fancy Widget?

I can theme the widget but exactly how for you want it? It's gunna have a pretty big space over the weather.... I can also remove all the backgrounds including the clock and just have the floating sun/moon and weather info.... let me know.

Just that highlighted portion would be perfect, with the tranparent background as shown, thanks
you just need to resize it with LPP. the widget thinks the images are still there so it still its normal size.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15212713/weather.apk
But I don't have Launcher Pro Plus or ADW launcher, as you can see from the gui, I'm running MIUI
the verison of fancy widget you have has the weather over the time? i could do the same to yours if you send it to me, but still the same problem, your gunna have empty space under the weather. so depends on how high you want the weather to float. middle with mine or up high with yours...
I'd like it to be high like mine, I have the fancy widget thats on the Market
post yours or send it to me and i'll do it for you. if you post it, just put it in a zip cuz you cant post apk's for some reason. or pm me for my email.
There you go, had no problem uploading an .apk

the apk you posted is like the one i posted. it's not the one on your screen shot.
It's the .apk installed on my phone, I'm not quite sure what you want then I guess
edit: If you're referring to the one on my phone being transparent that's because Fancy Widget gives you the option to make the background transparent.
the clock you have on the screen shot has the weather over the time. the one you sent me looks like the regular sense clock with the weather under the time. do you have the paid version? cuz i think with the pro version, you are able to change the clock format. Sorry!!!!!
i'll try one more method that might work.... i'll get back at ya in a bit.
I have the free version, it came stock with the weather at the top and not the bottom
i was able to put the moon/sun higher but the info isn't budging. i think it's gunna be an xml edit and i haven't figured out how to mess with those yet... but heres what i got so far. maybe someone who knows xml can finish it.... sorry!!
View attachment weather.apk
Awe, darn. Thanks anyways.
Anyone else have any ideas for this?
The pro version has just a weather widget. Looks like that is what you are looking for.
Are you sure this couldn't just be themed without the clock?
Alright, I've themed Fancy Widget to get rid of the clock:
But as you can see the date still appears at the bottom, does anyone know how to get rid of this?
Bump?.....
Hey guys, just wanted to share an ICS search widget mod that works perfectly on our Notes. (Gingerbread) I found this app on the market awhile back, but was pulled down for an unknown reason. I did not write this app & unfortunately I do not even know who to give credit to.
Either way, this is the best method I've found for getting a high res ICS themed search widget - the voice icon also works perfectly. Just install the APK as you would any other application (file manager, root explorer, etc) and the widget will show up in your widget menu.
Here is a screenshot and download link :

You'll need a launcher that allows you to resize widgets, otherwise it will be 4x1 like the stock widget. I use ADW EX w/ 6x1. I know Go Launcher, Launcher Pro, SPB shell 3d, and many others will allow you to resize it.

How did you get your dock to look like that? I have the background image and the ICS icons, however when I set the background that white line touches the top of the icons rather than there being a "gap" like there should be!
I use Kovdev's ICS theme which i believe works with ADW and Go launcher.
Just reporting it worked for me in my Ace...
