JschiSurf, 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

Not sure what happened for you regarding the MM. It is impossible to have a MM undo Rosie mods. It only has a single XML file in it, that controls the app drawer columns.

I flashed it again, just to verify and it appears to have worked fine for me again. Can anyone else confirm that the app drawer MM is working or not working for them?

Worked for me, but I did have to reload all of my widgets...they all said "problem loading widget"

But removing and putting them back got them fixed everything.

Thanks for the confirmation. Yes, as mentioned in the initial MM post:

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.

Does anyone know how to get the 4x5 Rosie layout to play nice with the HTC Task widget?
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.

JS, the HTC task widget is a widget that can be downloaded from long clicking on the desktop->Widget->Get more HTC widgets->Tasks.

Do you think you can look at the attached APK file that I pulled from my phone? I don't have the slightest clue on where to start to make it compatible with the 4x5 layout.

The problem with it right now is the widget will load, but some of the buttons needed to add a new task are cropped and do not even show up on the actual widget itself now. Will gladly donate a few bux for coffee if you can figure it out!

Ok, so get this, turns out this rosie mod doesn't work on my virus rom (maybe because I already have virus' theme installed). But it DOES work on my nand of the same rom.

Turns out, I had nanded back to this rom before I flashed your mod, it worked beautifully. But the morph thing failed (i had removed my sense mail widget and when i tried to put it back on another screen, it wouldn't let me select it. , same with any widget that was installed when I flashed this mod and tried that morph app.)
So I flashed the rom clean and new. Flashed the Rosie mod again, didn't work, still had phone in middle.
Thing is, on that nand I restored (and your mod worked on), I had also tried some other Rosie mods on. One was from slayer and had the arc style Rosie, and I could see the top edge of arc behind espresso. When I flashed yours, it fixed that and did exactly what it should.


Anyhow, informational purposes only. Didn't work on fresh install of virus sense rc4.2, but fixes my nand of that rom. I'm happy.

Thank you. ;)

Ok, so it seems this mod only works for me if I Nand back to a version of my Rom where the rosie is all fd up, and has a ghost of a slayer rosie behind it, and my widgets are broke (like I wanna move the mail widget, I try to add it via long press>widgets, and if I try to select mail, phone freezes).
If I flash Rom over Nand without wipe, widget still broke and see only slayers rosie, flash virus alchemy theme over that (that's the theme the Nand has) widgets are all fixed, and virus rosie with phone in middle persists. Flash your mod, and still stuck with virus rosie.

So it seems the mod here only works on my Nand that I had previously done god-knows-what to. It seems that the Nand (which, as I've said, has slayers rosie ghosting behind the themes real rosie), is the only way I can get this mod to work. I even tried flashing one of slayers rosies again and then your mod over it and it didn't take. I've tried every combo I can think of (as you can probably tell, I'm dying to get your mod working on my Rom, but wanna get it working on a version of my Rom that's not jacked)

I dunno, if any of this makes any sense to you, or if you have any ideas, I'd super appreciate it. But nonetheless, thanks for all your work.

In case you hadn't notice, all links were down, due to downtime where I host my files. All should be back in order.

actually I was able to get K-9 mail right button apk from the first post...but was unable to install it - Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 recovery gave me an error, saying something about "amend script" is no longer being supported, because Clockworkmod had to be modified since v3.0 to support Gingerbread. The message also gave instruction how to modify the script so it'd work, but I dont remember what it was :(

So, before you spend time re-uploading all your work to the new hosting I suggest you check first if it's even flashable anymore....because it looks like you may have to repackage

    EDIT 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.

    Man you guys are unrelenting!

    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 market

    you asked if i'm running a gingerbread recovery...i'm not even sure GB has a separate recovery, i think latest clockwork and amon ra just support it...I'm using regular froyo rom and regular clockwork recovery...
    The Dolphin HD mod I asked for is indeed downloadable now, but couldnt flash it either - same errror, this time I got it down:

    Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
    Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5
    It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
    Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
    Installation aborted

    Some help how to install the zip would be much appreciated

    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.
