If this helped you, link this thread so other peeps can also learn how to theme up Rosie.

Tools: archive utility (7z, bettercut, et cetera), apktool

In Rosie.apk/res/drawable-hdpi look for:

Code:

*Note, with the nature of the Sense 2.1 Rosie, you will only need to modify the icon_all_on.png and icon_all_rest.png

Smali Stuff

Tools. apktoool or baksmlai/smali or android-utility
notepad++ or textedit

Decode Rosie.apk
First, install proper frameworks (com.htc.resources.apk)
apktool: apktool d Rosie.apk
baksmali: java -jar baksmali.jar classes.dex -o out OR baksmali classes.dex -o out
android-utility: follow prompts on screen

Build Rosie
apktool: apktool b Rosie
smali: java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex OR smali -Xmx512M out -o classes.dex
android-utility: follow prompts on screen

To Remap the Right Button of Rosie for Sense 2.1 and Below (Sense 3.0 is a little more tricky)

Open Launcher.smali, found in [out|smali]/com/htc/launcher/

Search for

Code:

    invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->addItems()V

Change to:

Code:

    invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->launchCustom()V

*Note. This line is preceded by this chunk of code for Sense 1.0 Rosie (similar for other versions):

Code:

.method static synthetic access$2000(Lcom/htc/launcher/tommytomatoe/Launcher;)V
    .locals 0
    .parameter "x0"

    .prologue
    .line 147

Next, search for

Code:

.method private onAppWidgetReset()V

Directly above this method, write in this method:

Code:

.method private launchCustom()V
    .locals 5

    .prologue
    .line 5536
    new-instance v1, Landroid/content/Intent;

    const-string v2, "android.intent.action.MAIN"

    invoke-direct {v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Intent;-><init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V

    .line 5537
    .local v1, intent:Landroid/content/Intent;
    const-string v2, "android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"

    invoke-virtual {v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Intent;->addCategory(Ljava/lang/String;)Landroid/content/Intent;

    .line 5538
    new-instance v2, Landroid/content/ComponentName;

    const-string v3, "com.beansoft.launchkey"

    const-string v4, "com.beansoft.launchkey.Redirect"

    invoke-direct {v2, v3, v4}, Landroid/content/ComponentName;-><init>(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)V

    invoke-virtual {v1, v2}, Landroid/content/Intent;->setComponent(Landroid/content/ComponentName;)Landroid/content/Intent;

    .line 5540
    :try_start_0
    invoke-virtual {p0, v1}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->startActivity(Landroid/content/Intent;)V
    :try_end_0
    .catch Landroid/content/ActivityNotFoundException; {:try_start_0 .. :try_end_0} :catch_0
    .catch Ljava/lang/IllegalArgumentException; {:try_start_0 .. :try_end_0} :catch_1

    .line 5546
    :cond_0
    :goto_0
    return-void

    .line 5541
    :catch_0
    move-exception v0

    .line 5542
    .local v0, e:Landroid/content/ActivityNotFoundException;
    sget-boolean v2, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->localLOGV:Z

    if-eqz v2, :cond_0

    invoke-virtual {v0}, Landroid/content/ActivityNotFoundException;->printStackTrace()V

    goto :goto_0

    .line 5543
    .end local v0           #e:Landroid/content/ActivityNotFoundException;
    :catch_1
    move-exception v0

    .line 5544
    .local v0, e:Ljava/lang/IllegalArgumentException;
    sget-boolean v2, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->localLOGV:Z

    if-eqz v2, :cond_0

    invoke-virtual {v0}, Ljava/lang/IllegalArgumentException;->printStackTrace()V

    goto :goto_0
.end method

These two lines are where the magic happens:

Code:

    const-string v3, "com.beansoft.launchkey"

    const-string v4, "com.beansoft.launchkey.Redirect"

You must place the package name and the activity which launches the desired app. The above chunk of code will launch whatever app LaunchKey has redirected. Below are some more examples.

Browser

Code:

    const-string v3, "com.android.browser"

    const-string v4, "com.android.browser.BrowserActivity"

Camera

Code:

    const-string v3, "com.android.camera"

    const-string v4, "com.android.camera.CameraEntry"

Messaging

Code:

    const-string v3, "com.android.mms"

    const-string v4, "com.android.mms.ui.ConversationList"

Feel free to request others.

Code:
Go from a remapped Rosie to Stock (Personalize Menu)[/code]

Search for

Code:

invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->launchCustom()V

Change to

Code:

invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->addItems()V

*Hint. If you cannot find the "invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->launchCustom()V", look instead for this chunk of code:

Code:

invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->launch

IF you still can't find it, because the dev used a different convention, say LaunchMms instead of LaunchCustom, it is surrounded by these other methods:

Code:

.method static synthetic access$1902(Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;Z)Z .registers 2 .parameter "x0" .parameter "x1" .prologue .line 143 iput-boolean p1, p0, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->isNeedLaunchAddToHome:Z return p1 .end method .method static synthetic access$2000(Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;)V .registers 1 .parameter "x0" .prologue .line 143 invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->launchMms()V return-void .end method .method static synthetic access$2100(Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;)V .registers 1 .parameter "x0" .prologue .line 143 invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->startCallActivity()V return-void .end method

More to come....

How about when you go into the app drawer? Anything special to make sure you cover that?

@tommytomatoe
How and which file to edit for the right Rosie "personalize" button? Many people want to return this to stock function but can't.

What would really be AWESOME is to incorporate the "personalize" function into the Rosie Settings app so that people will have complete control of the right Rosie button! Would this be possible? Thanks for all your work and info!

TT,
As someone who makes minor cosmetic tweeks to my stock rooted EVO, I would love to be able to make some Rosie mods to Sense 1.0. Any possibility getting some help with that? I'm looking to remap the "+" button on the far right to a camera button. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

For stock Sense 1.0 Evo,

Rosie.apk/res/drawable/hdpi/

Look for "icon_add_on.png" and "icon_add_rest.png"

Replace those two.

How?

Use 7z to open the apk as an archive. Don't extract. Just replace the desired files.
Download this:generic update.zip
Open that up in 7z.
Place Rosie.apk in system/app/
Sign it if you know how to
Boot into recovery and flash

ALternatively, you dont have to flash. Just run: adb push Rosie.apk /system/app/Rosie.apk

All done

Great Guide

Once I figure out how to finally use all these tools properly. I can really start creating some mods. This will be a great way to start thanks tommy you been very helpful to this community.

MadDogMaddux · Jul 4, 2011

I'd love to see how to remap the rosie graphics so that they don't have to be as wide across. Do you remember the smaller central layout that DG4FREE had for Warm RLS5? I'd love to be able to do that on Synergy.

Also, how about a way to remap the buttons so that the center button is App Drawer?

Great Ideas. But unfortunately no one has been able to remap the Sense 2.1 Rosie for any device. Placing the app drawer in the center is not like it was before on Sense 1.0 with simple changes to the layout. It is in smali.

As for the smaller centered Layout. That is easy. That is in the layouts. I will go ahead and do this one. Give me a couple minutes. I don't know and can't try this on Sense 2.1+, but this method works on Sense 1.0.
