very interested in doing this, especially the browser on the right, but wants to keep myn's style, does this change the style or just the app?.
kudos for the great work.

I don't believe it should affect the physical Rosie, just the icons within it. The physical Rosie images are located in com.htc.resources, and this update only includes Rosie.apk.
However, depending on what modifications were done for the ROM you are running, it is certainly feasible that things could unwittingly get changed.
Best bed, do a nandroid, flash it, and see what happens...

Ha! I was wondering where you went. Nice! For you, anything brother. Probably knock it out first thing in the morning. Watching the Bears look horrible right now...
hahaha Thanks! Yea, im watching the game right now. Both teams look horrible. LOL What part of Rosie are you modifying to get these remapped?

tried this with myn's warm two point two, not the most desirable results, flashing nandroid back. took some screens, will post once its restored.
basically the transparent background behind the buttons disappears entirely, and the app menu looses its transparency. everything else seems to be ok and working.

Since this mod is based on Fresh Espresso, it is likelly then that some elements required for the espresso bar are changing images for the rosie you are running. I'm not familiar with the ROM you are running, but you would be better off manually stripping out what you need and injecting into your existing Rosie, rather than replacing entirely via the update zips provided.
I think ive figured out what you're modifying in Rosie, but for some reason I cant get it to go. LOL Im pretty sure you're modding more than just Launcher.smali, right?
Okay, check out the last entry in the OP. Should give you what you want.
As you may know, this Rosie mod is one of the more intricate mods done, with edits both in XML and smali code, including custom java classes, etc.
Without getting into more detail that I care to spend the time typing, the majority of changes can be found in button_bar.xml, and Launcher*.smali.
Our posts crossed paths. See the new zip I posted for you with gmail and mms, rip it apart, and I'm confident you'll find what you're looking for. I named the classes to make it easy, for someone with the desire, to do what they need to do
.
Changing the zip to a MetaMorph will allow it to work with any ROM w/o affecting any other elements. Problem is, I don't know which option you are using from this post.
As a test, if you want, let me know which one you want to use, and I will convert it to a MetaMorph, that you can apply.
Can you make the one with phone app drawer and handcent a metamorph to work on myns rom?

Is there a chance of changing fresh's expresso to remove the "+" and replace it with the stock camera?
I sort of like keeping the phone / dialer in the middle. The apps tray is ok on the left, with the way I hold the phone. Thanks.

Well, the mods I've posted are for remapping a stock rosie. If what you are running is already a custom / modified rosie with different placement for buttons, etc, the start / base would have to be that rosie.apk.
Honestly, in that case, you're better off going to the source for such requests.

haha yea I think they did cross. I'll poke around and see what I find. one thing I noticed though, on your screenshot I notice you dont have the icon labels. LOL I started modifying the resources.arsc and noticed the hex for the label background was gone. LOL

2EDIT 1/4/2001: See Here, if after applying your desired Rosie mod, you wish to apply a 4x5 workspace to your Rosie using MetaMorph, and See Here to apply a 5 icon wide app drawer using MetaMorph.
The Rosie mods provided below are compatible with the 3.70 update.
To all the former Hero owners, good to see you all again! To everyone else, nice to meet you. My annual upgrade finally arrived and I picked myself up an EVO yesterday. Being new to the EVO, I'm not really sure what mods may have already been done, but I couldn't find any posts regarding remapping stock Rosie for the EVO, so I figured I'd tackle this one first in similar fashion for what I did with the Hero.
This is based off of Fresh 3.4.0.1 Espresso, but a themer could certainly take and adapt to their ROM as desired.
It should be noted that on initial boot, you will get a one-time force close on Rosie. I'm not sure why this is occurring, but only happens on initial boot and does not impact functionality. I will keep looking at it to try and resolve.<--- This issue has been resolved.
Many, including myself, find the 'add shortcut' button on the right of Rosie to be unnecessary, and find the phone button being front and center unnecessary as well. The first remap simply switches out the app drawer and phone buttons placement, leaving the add shortcut button on the right. It is essentially stock Rosie with the exception of swapping out app drawer / phone.
The remaining remaps remove the 'add shortcut' button and replaces it with more commonly used applications, such as MMS, Mail, Camera, Music, and more. For MMS and Mail versions, I've included remaps for both stock MMS & Mail, as well as Handcent, ChompSMS, Gmail, and K9.
There are additional options that remap both the left and right buttons as well. Scroll the the list in this post to see available options. Don't see a combination you like? Let me know.
These remaps allow you to continue running Sense while benefiting from similar mappings to some of the custom launchers out there.

I mentioned previously that since I don't prefer / run a 4x5 screen, that it is not something that I would likely take a look at, but given the apparent demand, I went ahead and cracked Rosie back open to take a look.
At any rate, the best way to distribute a change like this, IMHO, is via MetaMorph, so as to prevent undoing anyone's current Rosie mods, as well as to prevent me from having to redo every rosie mod I've posted in this thread as well.
So, if you want to apply this easily, just download MetaMorph from the market, drop the attached zip file in your /sdcard/AndroidThemes folder, open MetaMorph, select 'morph_rosie_4x5.zip' and apply.
It's a simple / single XML file to replace in order to apply the change.
Now, after applying, since you are modifying a running Rosie, your phone may freeze, and require either a reboot via adb, or a battery pull.
This only affects Rosie, so you will have to find a flash elsewhere for modifying your widgets to accommodate the new 4x5 layout, as stock widgets will become messed up as a result of this change.
Also, any current widgets will likely need to be re-added after applying MetaMorph, since modifying Rosie live usually causes widgets to get deleted. It may be a moot point since you need to apply new modified widgets anyway, if you haven't already.
To reiterate: The attached is NOT a flashable zip. It is a MetaMorph file to be applied using the free MetaMorph application in the market1JschiSurf, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For last two months I've been harassing every themer and dev here for an espresso rosie remapped with launcher middle, phone left, and browser right, I'm pretty sure I even asked you. I posted my existing rosie files here and someone was gonna have a look at em, etc. Virus, whose roms I use always, used to have this rosie I described in one of his old roms, as an add on,but it didn't work with his newer versions (he's too busy making awesome new roms and ports to bother).
Anyhow, enough history, sorry. Thank you. Using it on virus sense based rc4.2.
I also was dying for the 5 wide app drawer. (that also was part of the old rosie I was trying to replicate). I see you posted that too. Amazing!
The 5 wide metamorph didn't work for me, and undid the rosie mods I had just flashed from you. so I nanded back, wiped data, dalvik, cache, and re flashed your rosie mod. Worked fine. (I've never used morph before, so it may be my fault). But I can live without the 5 wide, ad long as I've got launcher in middle.
Just really wanna give you huge huge huge thanks!
If I can get paypal figured out, I'd love to throw something your way soon.
Thanks mass

It's the other way around. You have to get the HTC Task widget (whatever that is) to play nice with the 4x5 layout, by doing whatever needs to be done to modify the widget to support display in a modified workspace environment.1
The latest Clockwork recovery now uses a kernel that is Gingerbread based, but you're running it on a Froyo rom, thus part of the reason for the issue.
If you have ROM manager installed, you can use it to switch to Amon, or downgrade your version of Clockwork. The latest clockwork recovery you are running does not support old school update script, which, IMHO, is way too early to deprecate, given the number of zips out there still using the syntax.
