[MOD] Remap Sense Rosie Buttons - MT3G Style Launcher - Updated 5/25 for Fresh 2.1.2

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: 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.

(Updated 7/22/2010!)Droid X multitouch keyboard 2.1 addition

I remember seeing someone wanting a green highlight , multi touch keyboard. So, I made it. Had to change the green dot to blue, so it would look better
I take no credit for making the keyboard work for our devices. I also didn't come up with the fix for the & key.
Thanks goes to zack.xtr we now have a WORKING black multi-touch keyboard. Want to also thank bmtdan for showing me zack.xtr's post. Black keyboard is attached, all credit goes to zack.xtr.
Just follow install instructions below.
Updated all with fixed "<" key​zack.xtr keyboard.

This is just a small mod someone posted they wanted, when the keyboard was first released, for Evo. They wanted the highlight to be green, so I made it green. As far as speed, I can't increase anything to make you type faster. In my opinion I type faster on this key board with less mistakes.

I'm trying to make the buttons and background black. It's my understanding (from modding the Omnia keyboard, on windows mobile) that xml files control the color of the letter on the keyboard. If it is like Windows, then there is a string in one of the xml documents. Inside the apk there are different xml documents, just can't figure the right one out, and what would control what.

I downloaded this through my phone, but it doesn't install. Says something about "no program to open this file". Is this supposed to install as simply as other apk's, or am I going about this wrong? I would love to have haptic feedback within the multitouch keyboard if possible.
thanks

HELP: What is the best keyboard?

I don't know which one to keep and permanently use!
Droid X's? Evos? Swype? Maybe a poll will clear this up...

I'm not sure of the "best" but I usually switch between the stock evo keyboard and swype. The droid x isn't all that great to me.
The stock keyboard and swype are both great keyboards but swype just needs some getting used to. IMO
Sent from my HTC evo using XDA App

I personally like the HTC_IME and Swype.

I have tried a lot of them. The X's keyboard reminds me mostly of the ipod touch. The Evos regular one is cool because of the arrows at the bottom. Swype is interesting but I don't think I'm used to it. DIdn't try fat finger one yet.
Should I seriously start using Swype more often? It's getting all the votes....

I like swype because of its one handed ease of use, and the fact that it's an all around cool keyboard ;-P

HTC IME (the XDA MOD one)

I hate the stock and HTC_IME..DroidX for a regular keyboard I liked a lot better, I could type as accurate in portrait as I could in landscape with the HTC keyboards. Then I installed Swype and haven't used another. The way I have everything setup with Swype and ADW.Launcher gestures I can operate the phone completely with one hand.

I usually just use swype. I don't even have to look at my keyboard most of the time now, just wish it had a voice input/arrow keys.

It's so hard to say what is the best keyboard. They all function well, but I lean towards Droid x. stock is good, due to the arrows. HTC_ime mod is good due to the fact of using it for so long (windows was similar to it) Swype.... man I wanna like it, but haven't given it a far try. I will install it, then let it set there without running my fingers over it. Always neglected and always feels left out.

It was in the droidx system dump and it does install but the mic key is crossed out and it pops up messages how its made for another phone and a different resolution.
I wish someone smarter than me would port it

Swype has arrows, swipe from the Swype key thingy on bottom left to SYM key.

I haven't tried any keyboard other than stock as they all seem to have their shortcomings. I couldn't imagine using a keyboard without arrow keys and I certainly want to keep the voice key. The only thing I don't like about stock is how small the space bar is. I keep hitting the period rather than space. I would be much happier if the number key and the voice keys were a little narrower yielding a wider space key.

I like the stock keyboard's functionality, but the Droid X MT keyboard seems a little more accurate and responsive

I don't find myself using the arrows often, but once in a while you pretty much have to have them. Luckily swype has a "text editing" screen that gives you arrow keys, and a few other things like tab, home, end, etc. It is accessed by swyping from the swype key to the sym key right beside it.
You don't need to google around for swype anymore, just google swype and sign up the the free beta. They will send you a link.
I didn't get it for a long time because it didn't seem like it would be so great to me, but now I love it. I have been hopping between roms a lot and everytime I load something fresh, not having swype drives me nuts until I get it installed.

TAB Key
Ok guys, I know a bunch of you are about to roll your eyes but i need help. I love the stock keyboard EXCEPT I want it to have a tab key. I have the Documents to Go app that lets me right in Word but I also need the the TAB key.
Any help??
Thanks in advance!!

EDIT2: Attempted to get settings working. Failed. Looks like this is the end of the line for me. :| I would always be interested if someone would like to work with me on how to do it though!

Yea, the official one works well too. Would love to see someone rip the version from the EVO with the 4-way arrows on the bottom since the DroidX has no direction pad or mouse wheel.

The four arrow keys would be nice, but the red bullseye lets you easily move the cursor around (similar to the iPhone) and you can set the volume keys to move it left/right too, which is plenty good for me

FWIW the swype keyboard does include arrow keys if you swype from the "swype" key to the SYM key right next to it.

Hey, did you get a chance to see the Vib issue? well not issue, but to have it off? The Droid X seems to be a rougher and more vibrant vib, well it is Moto, theyre know for that.
I am Patiently waiting, The main thing that is missing, is the Touch Input menu, thats where we change, Well, for the Evo KB.

(updated 10/16/10 with how to ) Droid X multitouch keyboard 2.2 addition themed

So I have been thinking about how to write, how to install instructions. Some people can just extract the flashable zip folder, while others (myself included) have to flash it.
INSTALL​You can try one of two ways......... Extract the zip file, go to the sub folder /system/app, and install the "LatinIME.apk; or reboot into recovery and flash the zip file. Also, after I flashed the first time.... I wanted to delete it. So, I used adb commands. Now I can just install from memory card. I think once you get the file located in /system/lib in to /system/lib on the phone..... you can just delete the keyboard using adb commands, then just install from sd
CREDIT for the port goes to invisiblek. I have made the vibration stronger and fix the & key every where it is neeeded to be fixed. Also i have to thank zack.xtr for helping me with the 2.1 version. With his help I could do it by myself this time around. O yeah, I have to say thank you to bmtdan for pointing me to zack.xtr's post.
Even though it shows ". ," on the period key, it will NOT make a comma on a double tap. I had updates some xml documents, to see if they controlled this behavior. Turns out they only control what was displayed on the key.

IF anyone can help me find an Android icon (with a white outline around him), I will make an Android "Hitchhikers"version would look sweet.Best size would be 48x48 to 50x50.
With the Hitch Hiker keyboards, when you press "alt" Marvin's eyes will change colors. Settings key looks better then the picture

I am not the original creator of this keyboard. I simply ported it over, and left the red eye out. original version ishere.
Also, I for some reason can not get my update zip files to work. So, apk files only from here on out. (Unless I figure it out.)

REQUEST FORM
If you want one made for you, I need this info:
None pressed key color
alt key etc color (of the keys like alt, settings/symbols, smiley/go/next/etc key)
dot for alt lock color
pop up key color
letter color
suggestion bar color I think, from doing them custom colors..... it's better left untouched. But, if you insist.. I will
suggestion bar letter colors-one for recommended word and for regular word
if you want any fading of the colors let me know or blending of 2 colors
also, if you need a flashable zip or if an .apk will do.
NEW I'm finding some good icons for a lot of stuff,so want one.......... ask for one (football team, baseketball team, baseball team, etc....) would help if you provided it. But if I can find one, I will do it
Last thing lol......... For requested themes, they will be scattered through out this thread. Since a personal one I made for you it will have its own post, lost in the thread lol.
donations will NOT be accepted, and I am doing this for you. So, please don't try to rush me out of my procrastination! Also please wait untill I release it and don't ask for eta.

That is the original keyboard. The one in first post here is a skinned version of it. Screen shot will be up shortly. Just doing a couple back ups from another ROm to aply them to the ROM I like
As far as your off topic goes...... I have lived in clifton too. Cincinnati seems so run down now lol

Dude im from cincy as well!

Hopefully the black/blue keyboard is next. Good job.

They will all be ported lol.

LMAO I just had chili fries

any one who tries to flash blackmtkb-signed.zip.......... let me know if it is successful. I deleted LatinIME.apk from /system/app, and when I flashed blackmtkb-signed.zip it failed. So I think when I deleted it from /system/app it didn't allow it to flash

Looks great and I want to try it. But if I install the apk (don't flash) will it re-write the default Android Keyboard?
I flashed a zip in a previous thread and had to restore a nandroid cause I want the option of the default Android or this.

Yes it will replace the original

Colerain area and I.bleeping love skyline I eat there 4 or 5 times a week lol

Thanks enragedpaza for the latest skinned version of this keyboard. I just got the bRED theme keyboard and it looks nice. The one thing i noticed when using Handcent and double-tapping the ".," key I don't get a comma when double-tapping. Not sure if anyone else is seeing this when using version.
