[Theme/Script]Rosie Color Changer For JAC Hero's[v0.7 updated 10/1/09]

---

Big thanks to Chris Sewell (csewell08) for donating server space. Without him, there would be no OTA script updates or repository. Check him out at wootroot.com!
Thanks also to everyone who has left comments and supported me. You guys are the reason I keep updating!

A while back some of you may remember me starting on creating full rosie themes in various colors. My work slowed for various reasons but one of them was that there was no easy way to create a non-destructive update.zip. Every theme would have to be packaged as a full rom and some data would have to be formatted.

Not Anymore!
I have created a script that will replace parts of the sense/rosie/hero UI with a different color from my currently WIP Rosie Color's theme, and best of all it's easy and non-destructive! No formatting, no update.zip's, no restarting into recovery, just one command.

How To Install
1. Download the appropriate Rosie_Color_Changer_*.zip for your rom version and unzip the contents onto the root of your sdcard. (meaning you should have the folder "rosie_colors" on the root of you're sd)
2. Enter the commands below using either Terminal Emulator/Better Terminal or ADB

su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /sdcard/rosie_colors
busybox cp rosie.txt /system/bin/rosie
chmod 755 /system/bin/rosie
busybox chown 0:0 /system/bin/rosie

3. Thats all there is to it, just type rosie in the terminal to start the script and follow the directions to change colors. try the command "rosie -r -b" to change the launcher to blue!

Updating From v0.3
Replace the rosie_colors folder with the updated one and then follow the install instructions (versions after 0.4 will be much easier to update)

Updating From v0.4

rosie -u

Updating From v0.5 and higher
Over The Air

rosie -u -s

I've been thinking the exact same thing

than you script i really like it

Thanks for the good comments everyone.

How would you like to see the framework done and updated?

Incremental and spread through each theme such as working on the status bar section on all colors and releasing a small update then moving on to buttons and so forth.

Or completing the framework entirely for one color and moving on to the next?

And a question for other theme developers:
Would you like to see a download part of this script where users can access, download, and install your themes through a repository?

worked like a charm! love this script! i was getting so tired of the standard grey rosie

would love to see the green status bar and or entire framework will def. b following thys thread

This is awesome. Your right tho, we do need an simpler and more practical way of changing things throughout our Hero roms without breaking the system. Having to release a full Rom theme is the worst. I can't wait to see how this develops. Great work
