[MOD][4/1/12] 4x5 Rosie Launcher+no carousel+wallpaper scrolling+semitrans drawer

[thesparky007]

This mod will make the rosie launcher 4 columns by 5 rows making better use of the screen real estate. HTC didnt make this default for whatever reason and there was just way too much empty space... But this mod makes it much much better.

As always nandroid backup! But you already knew that right...
All credit goes to jeffsanace for figuring this out! and thanks to dropzeroc for his carousel, wallpaper mods!

"Evo3d CDMA only" (shouldnt be hard to port to GSM)

Actually yes, but the problem with that is 3rd party widgets won't render correctly. They will always show up to the left or right, not centered. The sense widgets render fine though.

Hi, I buyed today my HTC EVO 3D...
And I want to have 5 rows with 4 columns...

I have Android 2.3.4 with HTC Sense 3.0.

What should I do to install this mod?

I downloaded the file: 4x5Rosie.zip

Inside there are 2 folders: META-INF and SYSTEM

I tryed to extract and copy \system\app\Rosie.apk from the zip file to my SD and launch install but don't work

I think is not the correct way..

Help me please...

[dijit4l]

it worked

It worked for me on meanROM! It added a large amount of shortcut space... now I can have more shortcuts next to my Sense clock widget on my home screen!

I suggest that one performs a backup of their /system first. Just in case something goes wrong or one wants to switch back.

Perhaps you could provide a zip that undoes these changes for those that may want to revert?

Thanks for this mod! I hope it gets integrated in the other 2.17 based ROMs.
