Ok all i bring you a new Mod that will make your rosie Launcher auto rotate to landscape when you turn your tbolt to the side :)

I am making the assumpution you all know how to decompile and recompile the rosie.apk if you dont read up and come back to this thread.

Ok so you have the Rosie.apk decompiled already open up the AndroidManifest.xml with your favorite text editor, and look for this bit of code:

android:screenOrientation="nosensor"

ok here comes the tricky part, if you arent sitting down you better. change "nosensor" to "sensor"

so it looks like this:

android:screenOrientation="sensor"

recompile and bam you are done!

get it back on to your phone and enjoy landscape in all its glory!

a few hints, I chose with spare parts to keep the launcer in memory seems to help with redraws. also dont for get to enable auto rotation!! enjoy. if I helped out in any way just give me a thanks!!

*Known Issues

Cant turn rotation off.

----------------------------------------------------

For those of you having issue or dont want a themed rosie here is a stock Rosie.apk in a update.zip flash through clockwork. I have only tested it on Das BAMF so use accordingly. if you have a themed rosie you will lose the theme. I assume no responsibility for what this does to your Launcher make a back up before flashing!!!

Enjoy

I LOVE YOU BGILL! You are my hero!! :D
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
Again you are too kind :)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] pmazz850:
Sweeeet! Gotta wait till i get home to do this, excellent work!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] seang:
if that's all it is, why did they not enable it to begin with... geez.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] SirBindy:
Would it be possible to post the modified Rosie.apk for those of us noobs that don't feel comfortable with de/compiling?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
I know right, at first i was coming through the smali files cause i thought for sure it was in there....but yeah prob the easiest mod you will ever have to do!!! lol
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
all your rom devs im sure will either include this or have an option for if not, let me know. and ill get one one up. Or you can go down load My Linear theme which has it done already ;)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] freebird_78:
Would you PLEASE release Rosie.apk for BAMF1.3.2? You'd be my hero... lol
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Fox9751363:
Give it to me straight, there's no way to get this without root correct?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] gadget!:
Thank you vey much for this, This is what I have been waiting for.

Now the issue it that the Thunderbolt Sense widgets don't all support Landscape...

Unbelievable!

The Contact Widget and the Calendar Widget are distorted and they don't fill the screen in Landscape.

Also, something interesting, the phone doesn't rotate to landscape unless you launch it from the Car Panel (not that it really needs to but interesting).

I can't believe HTC would make so many different widgets, they all seem to work fine on the Desire Z ROMs.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mzimand:
I have a question about non deodexed ROMS. Do I have to do anything to the ODEX file? or just make the changes to the apk?

Also installed the landscape apk in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007745 and it does not work on my phone. Is that becasue it is not deodexed?

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] chingy51o:
If only the 4x5 didn't look retarded in landscape...

Btw anyone on my rom that wants to use this ill make it an optional mod later today.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Brakiss:
Nice! Works awesome!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] suzook:
Nevermind...figured it out
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hogowner:
what does "rosie" actually do?

I installed the Perfect Storm and I see in my apps I have "rosie settings"

When I tap on it...is shows the internet icon and has a button to the right that seays "select" when I press it...all my apps come up.....

I am not really sure how this works.....can someone enlighten

me?

Also.what is 4 x 5 lanscape mode?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] superchilpil:
Its in there. I run the same as u and I found it

I can't get Rosie to re-compile correctly so I would post it but it will just fc
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] SirBindy:
Hogowner: rosie IS SenseUI. It's the whole interface on HTC android phones.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] shelooga:
Two things: can I go into rosie through rootexplorer and change this, or is it going to f with the file? And do you know how I can ditch this personalize button?

3 things I guess: thanks for the gps remover!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] suzook:
Running das bamf 1.3...is there anyway to make rosie landscape??? I do not see the code line in rosie.apk....
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
Would you guys prefer a update.zip? Kinda takes away the fun out it but ill upload on if wanted.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jyabor91:
please and thanks bgill55 =)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
ok update.zip added to the first post!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] SirBindy:
Thank you for uploading the apk for us :)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] itsDollar:
Thank you! Looks great.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] SirBindy:
Does not work on the stock rom. It just hangs at the clouds :\

Stock Rooted rom w/ BAMF kernel
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
that where i pulled the apk from is the stock rom
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ddgarcia05:
Worked for me. Das damf
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Sweeny Russ:
damn bgill already de and recompiled, this is bull.....

Just messin...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] je2345:
Is there anyway you could make this work with perfect storm 1.1rom Being that it's not deodexed?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] chingy51o:
i already have it done but i need to fix some of the widgets to work in landscape
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Drukan:
not working for me, using basic debloat.

I do have the location crosshair removal mod, and my own theme mods for status bar rosie and the Slate skin, but all are png swaps for different or colorized icons.

Only non PNG mods are for the battery charge and battery stat xmls to get % and smooth charge look.

COULD ANY OF THOSE AFFECT THIS ?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] blackstalyon:
How do I get out of the clouds? Downloaded the landscape and am just stuck there!

Das Bamf rooted

Edit: restoring now, sorry, I'm clearly new at Android...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Drukan:
I feel ya... IM by no means a noob and im stuck at the clouds aswell... Apparently Rosie dont wanna lay on her side for me ...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] blackstalyon:
I restored my phone so it's fine now.

I installed the Dusk skin w/o ROM Manager and it worked...without landscape.

Tried to install the link posted in the first post through ROM Manager and it locked up, what am I missing?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Drukan:
CURIOUS... does this work with a skin applied ??? I have the Slate skin applied.

blackstalyon said he has a skin applied...

Maybe this is the common denominator?

EDIT:

Just pushed MY rosie.apk back (while hung at the clouds) and poof!! loaded right up to homescreen!!!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] gadget!:
It works fine with skins, skins shouldn't have any effect.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Drukan:
Just proved that( i suppose) I swapped back to HTC skin, pushed the Rosie.APK from the zip... still stuck at clouds... Guess ill just find some other method... or deal with portrait only.... thanx anyway...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
for some reason this mod doesnt like the Stock version of Das BAMF not sure why but in the op im running Das BAMF and my Linear theme and it rotates fine!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Drukan:
So is anyone that has this working, using basic debloat? Or are you all using a specific ROM?

Hey bgill., is there any thing in framework or resources that may affect this? I have my personal theme... So i wonder if i may have modded something that is required.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] spaghetti_monster:
Can you test it with the theme included in Das BAMF? I remember seeing the source the theme was taken from and it did support landscape.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bladerealm124:
Just flashed this running Das bamf 1.4 and although it works great it messed up some of the das bamf theme. It no longer allows me to customize the bottom right button and the bottom dock looks more like the original sense dock again. Also the apps drawer is back to only 4 rows again instead of 5. Bummer. Anyone know how to get all aspects of das bamf plus landscape? I really love both.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
I tried to do this and I get a message saying HTC Sense (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpextedly. Please try again....any idea why this is happening?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
how did you put back on your phone?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
I used adb to push it back onto my phone. I like that you put out the update.zip, but its something that I wanted to do manually...

More info:

used apktool to decompile with no issues, opened AndroidManifest.xml and only edited the one line, saved and recompiled app using apktool.

pushed to my phone using adb...stuck with that message

It was the first time I used apktool, so that may be where my error is at, but I don't think so...It's not the stock rosie.apk, its the one on my rom that I tried to edit. Does this work with other than stock rosie.apk...for exapmle, the modified rosie.apk by signals23?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ilogik:
Is there a zip file I can use with CW for Das Bamf v1.4?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
yes my Rosie apk has all the add ons and hacks. It could be a permission issue. did you sign the apk?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
Yea I signed it...the first time I tried, I forgot to sign it and it stuck me in a bootloop. Also, it worked when I had launcher pro installed, it just set that as the default, but when I went to clear defaults, I couldn't use the option to do so. I uninstalled it and HTCSense did not reactivate. Idk what the issue is
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
try throwing it in a update. zip and flash it some system apps get touchy when pushed.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
I'll do a little research on making an update.zip, I have a hard time with the update binary as I have no idea how to create one on my mac.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
grab mine from the OP and swap out the APKs....Done
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
Well that certainly would be simple...i just wrote one real quick and pulled the update binary from a previous framework update.zip I had and it flashed...but it still didn't fix the force close on com.htc.launcher :confused:

I am going to try and flash your update.zip to see if this is a compatibility error with my rom...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mzimand:
Bgill, will the Rosie.apk zip from the OP work on BAMF 1.4 (the stock one, not the remix)?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
it should, keep in mind that is a stock rosie.apk so you will lose all the "fixens"
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
Tried your stock Rosie.apk and it worked...my best guess is that apktool is not recompiling the app correctly :(

As a test, I pulled the apk out of your zip, decompiled it, didn't change a thing, then recompiled it...for some reason, the apk file went from 1.5-1.3MB and I got the force close again. Have you seen this at all?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mzimand:
If I make a copy of my stock non rotating rosie.apk will restoring it be able to be done by pushing it via adb or with Root Explorer?

And I would imagine if the answer to my question is yes then I could take the rosie.apk in your zip and push it or use Root Explorer(giving it correct permissions of course)

Sorry for the noob questions but I am coming from the OG Droid and this in new to me
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Drukan:
You can easily revert/fix a fail by pushing a back up of Rosie.apk via adb... Youll notice it instantly reverts to working
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ilogik:
When I put the phone in my cardock it automatically switches to landscape, I wonder why they would not allow that function without a cardock.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mzimand:
In case anyone was wondering the zip in the OP works perfect in BAMF 1.4 (the stock version).
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Drukan:
Ive had no luck with it... oddly it works with remix according to others... I been tryin to find out wtf makes the difference...

I get stuck at the clouds with everything i do. except when i pushed my own version, then after lock/unlock i got my stat bar.. it rotated..but i had no homescreen... JUST the stat bar.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Drukan:
See above... wtf is wrong with my phone .... ok time to do it all again... ive become obsessed with making this work...
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ilogik:
It works on my phone also, runnin BAMF 1.4
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Drukan:
a fresh install of BAMF1.4, flashed this... FAIL... stuck at clouds for dayum near 20 min...

Next try.. FULL wipe, data cache, dalkvik... then fresh install and rosie flash...

EDIT :FAIL.... still stuck at the clouds.. soon as i push the original... hit lock/unlock.. unmodded rosie works... Just dont get it..

EDIT 2; VICTORY IS MINE !!!! it works... not sue what all i did... but it works... Thanx for this Bgill
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ilogik:
Wow you really kept at it. Good show, old man! ;)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] angermeans:
St George utah?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
Yup just south of ya lol!!! gotta Love Utah!! Moving back home soon though to Vegas
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] BurnOne77:
anyone get this to work with BAMF 1.4 remix? gonna try now after nandroid.

EDIT: Seeems to be working fine for me, only thing I see when I turn phone is before it moves app drawer to landscape and then back, the pic on on my main page appears for a split second. Other then that main page works perfectly which is all I wanted.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dave8311:
I decompiled and found 5 instances of android:screenOrientation="nosensor"

Do I change all of them?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
Just the first comment
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
Does this have to be done for each theme, or just the ROM? I've not figured out how to sign an apk yet, I have figured out the decompile and recompile, but not the signing. I have found a couple of posts, however which keys do I use? if it is only for the ROM, can I PM you the necessary files, and can you do this for me with a donation?

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
what did you use to decompile and recompile??
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
What did I do wrong?

I have been working on this for the past 2 hours. I used apktool, decompiled and recompiled my Rosie.apk from lightning rom. I changed the first instance only of android:screenOrientation=sensor. I installed a theme that understands the landscape from here :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=998896

EDIT: I found a script that showed me how to sign the apk, I followed it, and it was using something called testkey, is that my problem?

It won't rotate, I made sure settings was set to autorotate as well. Did I miss something? Can I send my Rosie.apk file to some one to have you take a look at it.

Thanks for anyones help on this.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
Go ahead and post it ill take a look at it.

Just give me some background info like what Rom ate you on etc
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
Thanks for your help in this. These came from the red lightning lite rom by dhemke17. this is his latest lite rom. I used his htc.framework.res file, and it decompiled and recompiled without any error's. The signing I used is from a script I found on here from a moderator. This is the command:

java -Xmx512m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 (name of file) (name of file).

Is it because I didn't zipalign the file? I have attached both the signed and unsigned copy of the file.

Thanks, for helping me look at this.

OK I got it to work, thanks for your help in this whole problem
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
everything looks like it should in your apk
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] devilman30:
Can I use this zip file with CWM?

Aloha Gill,

Could you use the attached Rosie zip to get landscape and can I flash it with CWM?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
Nothing attached, the Rom it came from is also needed, if you pm the file and the info, ill make the change now that I know what to do. No need to bother the mod, if its alright with him, so he can work on other things.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
I had to change the first 2 instances in order to get it to be successful for me. I decompiled your attachment from the first post.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] soundmanmike:
Has anyone got this to work with the s23-rosie-update? The s23 updates the rosie for 5 rows and a back ground that matches your home screen. The two together would be excellent!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
Yes it should work on all Rosie apks
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] soundmanmike:
No, it doesnt work, just tried both ways (flip flopped installation order of both files)...each one removes the other. I like the changes that both provide and would like to have both. What would it take to accomplish this? Great work!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Breezer23:
I installed using the update.zip and now all my GPS Apps think I'm I'm Omaha, Nebraska. I cannot fix it either lol!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
This mod doesn't touch anything that deals with gps
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] je2345:
Thanks for the easy install. Love it! Anyway to make the right button go to internet instead of personalize button? I have rosie mod settings app set to internet already but still goes to personalize. Any idea why?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
You need that button remapped. You flashed a stock rosie.apk. so without the remap the apk is useless.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] SirBindy:
He means if you manually do the mod (ie: decompile > edit line > recompile), it will work on all rosie apks.

You can't expect the stock modified Rosie to magically take the attributes of the one you're replacing it with. (ie: flashing the stock 4 column over a 5 column wont magically make it a 5 column)
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
Please help me understand something. I decompile the Rosie.apk file, which removes the signature. I make the necessary changes and then recompile it, and then resign it. If I do this doesn't that mean it is no longer signed with HTC's signatures which screws up other things such as the download of widgets?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
Incorrect. You can sign it with test keys and all will function as it should.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
Ok, thanks for ruining my thinking. I have an issue with a Rom that I'm assuming is a signature issue. Are there certain files that should not be re-signed? If so which ones?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bwagnerDL:
Mod Help Please

I have spent the last day trying to get this mod to work for me without succes. I am trying to get this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000448) ROM to go landscape.

Could someone help me out? Attached is the Rosie.apk in a zip file.

Thanks

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
Rosie Help

OK here is what I did, I extracted Rosie.apk from a working rom, I then decompiled it using apktool (no error's) I made the required changes, I then recompiled it (no error's), looked at the file and there was no META-INF file, I then signed it using test keys and the application dsixda's Kitchen, I then added it to the previously working rom, flashed it to my phone, phone started, went thru setup, and Rosie would not start, it kept crashing, I rebooted the phone and it stayed on the boot screen never loading Rosie.... How are you supposed to do this? I was told I could sign it with test keys, and that doesn't seem to work.

I then took that Rom removed the modified Rosie.apk inserted the original Rosie.apk, flashed it and it worked without an issue.

Can anyone tell me what is supposed to be done to make this work?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] droidboy850:
Why can't someone just upload the decompiled file that works so we can just flash it?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mzimand:
It is in the first post. I just flashed it in my 1.5 bamf
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] droidboy850:
How's it work? Did you get to keep your 3 icons at the bottom or did you have to switch to the original posters icons?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CyberPitz:
When I flashed it, I lost the 5 column semi-transparent app drawer and I now have that damn personalize button back....trying to figure out how to get back to stock. I don't need landscape that bad.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
If you read the op you would see that its the stock rosie apk.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] CyberPitz:
Hmm, maybe I should have been more clear and less retarded lol. Stock to BAMF Remix 1.5. How you woulda known that's what I was talking about? No clue.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Moncha:
Could we get a copy to work with BAMF 1.5 Remix?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
Can anybody tell me an answer to this? I really would like to know how to do this?

Thanks

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] LakerStar25:
Hey bgill55 I have my TB stock just rooted I was wondering if you could make this available for me? I'm not planning on using any roms.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mrbracht:
Would a 5 app drawer and landscape be doable? Would appreciate it
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bgill55:
Yes its doable. The reason why I don't release one is cause every Rom has tier own edits to the apk. And I don't have the time to do it for every Rom.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] mrbracht:
Alright. I respect that. Thank you
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] hroberts89436:
I really would like to know the proper steps to do this correctly, could someone please walk me thru thus?

anyway to make this work for gingerjane by jcase?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] FP5241:
I'm wondering the same thing.. Stock rom is fine for me, but landscape would be nice. I just tried this but was stuck in the clouds. Luckily I learned how to use recovery and am ok now.. :o
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] LakerStar25:
I was wondering if this has been figured out for gingerbread roms. I'm running Liquid Gingersense and would love landscape.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] M@|ice:
Bump curious as well. I'm using gingerjane.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tsachi:
It's been a while, so I'm not sure if you still need help. When you recompile, at the end it asks if this is system file. Answer "yes", it asks if it you want to copyy anything, answer "no". You will get a file called unsognedrosie.apk (in the "place here for modding") which is the recompiled file with the signature copied over.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ThunderRootedDragon:
Bump...IMO landscape is the only perk missing for LGS...would be nice to have.
