Did you ensure you name the custom png right (same as in the xml) and put it in drawable-hdpi folder before you compile?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Cristian.1977:
indeed i did, i just tried again, i followed as you have it laid out, didn't try anything different made sure everything's spelled right, pretty much like you said, i added android:background="@drawable/applistbackground" in between <com.htc.launcher.AllAppsView and android:layout_width="fill_parent", placed the applistbackground.png file in drawable-hdpi, compiled it, and all i get is that build folder with an apk folder containing the classes.dex file, no dist folder with a newly buildt rosie :confused:
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] steal25:
I get the built rosie but the problem I'm having is the .png only shows behind the personalize menu not the app drawer. Ay first I had the same problem your having and I just had to make sure the spacing in the .xml was correct. I just need to figure out how to make it show behind the drawer now.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Did you also change all 3 instances of android:background="#ff000000" to android:background="#00000000"? Depending on Rosie version it can also be something like android:background="@android:color/black" - it´s only important you change these values to a fully transparent value like "#00000000" or "@android:color/transparent". Please also note, that you need to ADD these edits to all edits explained in transparent app drawer section.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] graffixnyc:
So I'm trying to edit Rosie for sense 3.0 to make the App drawer semi-transparant. I found the xml files I need to change. all_apps_view.xml in the layout folder and color.xml in the values and values-hdpi folders.

I'm using apkmanager 5.0

I set the current project to rosie.apk

then I decompiled using option 10 with dependencies

when it asked me for the dependencies I dragged framework-res and com.htc.resources to script window and decompiled. That all went well. I swapped out the XML files and then went to compile.

I got this error:

building apk

"An error occured, Please Check the Log (Option 21)

Press any key to continue

it then asks me if it's a system apk. I select Y

It then asks me "aside from the sigatures would you like to copy over and additional files you didnt't modify". I select Y

It then tells me to check the keep folder and delete any files I have modified and also delete resources.arsc(since I modified xml)

But when I look at the keep folder none of the value folders are there. The last folder I see is layout-port-hdpi

So I just go into layout and delete the one xml file I edited(since the others arent there)

and press any key to continue. It tells me everything is ok and I have the apk. But when I push it over and reboot the htc.launcher keeps FCing on me and doesnt work.

Here is a copy of the apkmanager log file:

http://pastebin.com/fAANsARX

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm using the stock(but deoedexed) apks to edit.

Hi!! I'having problems modding Rosie for Virtual Unity 2.33 Beta. I followed all the steps shown in the guide, except for changing background, cause don't want to change it, so I made mods for 5x5 and transparent background only, with alpha channel set to 77. Decompiling and recompiling operations are all OK, but when I put Rosie modded inside the DHD, I got FC. I'm using APK Manager to do mods, changing only hipe mem to 512 MB. The only difference I saw is in the file size. The original is about 12MB, the modded is 1.7MB.

Note that I Modded the same Rosie first with M10Tool and all was OK, it works on my DHD. May I have to set compression to 0 in APK Manager, in order to mantain file size similar to original? Thanks a lot for your job!! ;)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
You have 3 wrong patched .9`s in your Rosie, you better do all edits with stock Rosie and then insert your modded pngs.

See here:

W: Cant find 9patch chunk in file: "drawable-hdpi/all_apps_divider.9.png". Renaming it to *.png.

W: Cant find 9patch chunk in file: "drawable-hdpi/home_screen.9.png". Renaming it to *.png.

W: Cant find 9patch chunk in file: "drawable-hdpi/box_launcher_top_pressed.9.png". Renaming it to *.png
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Sense 3 Rosie always is substantially smaller after you compile with apktool, but that is never the issue. You can upload your Rosie and I can check, whether there are any errors.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] OrcoX1iSE:
Thanks for your time!! Here is my Rosie modded. Hope you'll find what I made wrong.:D
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] :
PS: the reason why Rosie is smaller in size after decompile/compile is the way that any modding tool handles m10 files (also included in rosie.apk).

the correct way is to simply store, and not compress the m10 files in the archive. apktool etc dont know what m10 files are so they are compressed. However, the compression screws up the zipalign.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Thx - that is correct, but it`s not the reason for the FC`s.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Edits look fine, except one padding could be optimized - <dimen name="application_boxed_tv_padding_bottom">0.0px</dimen>

One edit is kinda strange, did you change widget_search.xml?

<ImageButton android:id="@id/search_voice_btn" android:background="@android:drawable/btn_search_dialog_voice"

to

android:background="@android:drawable/btn_radio_on_selected"

Which apktool Version did you use for your compile?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] OrcoX1iSE:
I made it, changed from 20px to 0px. Or maybe I was drunk, but I'm sure I followed all the steps in the guide!! Do you think this could cause FCs?

Absolutely not!! I'm a complete rookie, so I couldn't did it!! I even don't know where widget_search.xml is located to!!! :D

Using 4.9. It could be the last one!

rosie fc

first of all tanks to he_stheone64 for this guide and his work.

@orco:

I had same fc problem with rosie for virtuous unity 1.31, I changed apktool.jar in folder "apkmanager/other" putting inside apktool 1.3.1 and then rosie works fine.

I didn't try with 2.33 but give it a chances:)

forgot to say I used apktool 1.3.1 only for rosie, for others apk it's ok 1.4.1
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] OrcoX1iSE:
I'll give it, thanks in advance, but I don't know how to reach apktool 1.3.1. Have you a link?

I tried to mod Rosie of 1.31.0 too, and had same errors, so you may be right!! ;)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] norifumi12:
rosie fc

Sorry but I can't post links, (don't have 10 posts).

Anyway search with google "apktool 1.3.1" first result should be "apktool-1.3.1.tar.bz2 - android-apktool........"

make a copy of apktool.jar in folder "apkmanager/others" so when you have finished with rosie you can restore to original.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] OrcoX1iSE:
Cannot hit thanks button more than once, but want to say many many many thanks for your suggest. Downloaded apktool 1.3.1, made mods on Rosie, recompiled and IT WORKS!!! :D:D:D
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] norifumi12:
rosie fc

I'm really happy to help if I can, this is XDA way.

Next days I'll try with rosie from virtuous Unity 2.35, I'll post here if something changed.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] OrcoX1iSE:
I'll do the same, if I will have time to!! ;)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
4.9 is the apkmanager version, it usually comes with an outdated apktool 1.32. You better download latest 1.41 and copy that in the "other" folder of apkmanager. You can also download and save the 1.31, since in rare occasions it compiles, when the latest version creates errors.

Edit - too late, you already had help :D
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] OrcoX1iSE:
You're never late!! Even if norifumi helps me a lot, suggesting APKTool 1.31, then I tried your solution with 1.41, and it WORKS too!!! :D:D

I'm publishing my first "quasi" theme for VU 2.35 and most have made with your help & guides, so thanks a lot!! :D
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
So good luck and great to have another themer here in this Forum ;)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] OrcoX1iSE:
Thamks a lot and hope I could have your help if I'll need it. Something that's so simple for you, seems so absurd for me!!! :D
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
No problem, just ask for help whenever it`s needed.

hello he_stheone64 , since my phone is in service center atm , so I was wondering if there will be any new Mods or TUT for the new Rosie in capy's bliss rom 1.3 , or even a new way to deal with the new m10 files in fusion ( gb 2.3.5 ),thanks .

@he_stheone64

I used myself so far from your guide to creating Rosie 5x5 for different ROMs, which so far have used

but now I'm trying to do this mod to AR6.1 and the "integers.xml in values​​-port-hdpi folder" missing variable "allprogram_grid_rows", without that Rosie is still a 4x4 instead of 5x5 :/

You will be prompted what to do to this ROM (new AR 6.1) to properly create a 5x5 Rosie?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
I'm waiting for a 5x5 transparent app drawer mod before flashing 6.1.0

Remap flip clock touch

Since very long time I am looking for a way to remap the flip clock (with weather/location) from the standard Android/HTC clock app to my alarm app (Alarm Clock Plus). This app I am using daily and I find it so imperfect, that I cannot start it tapping to the clock. If somebody could drive me to the right information:

- in which apk I can find the logic for the flip clock touch event? Is it HtcClock3DWidget.apk?

- how I can remap this in Sense 3.0? The tutorial says that for Sense 3.0 it is "a little more tricky".

Any help is very much appreciated!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] brolee93:
i want make rosie by me lol with your great guide thanks .

it is possible to make rosie 6*5 ? because i see in evo thread it possible

when i want found this file .xml in rosie sense 3 rom :

application_boxed.xml

i no found ???

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TextView android:textSize="@dimen/application_boxed_tv_textsize" android:textColor="@color/bright_text_dark_focused" android:ellipsize="none" android:gravity="top|center" android:id="@id/name" android:paddingTop="@dimen/application_boxed_tv_padding_top" android:paddingBottom="@dimen/application_boxed_tv_padding_bottom" android:fadingEdge="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/application_boxed_tv_layout_height" android:drawablePadding="@dimen/application_boxed_drawpad" android:lineSpacingExtra="@dimen/application_boxed_linespace"

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />

i not found values you want : 5x5 app drawer

There are plenty of 4x5 mods around, but I wanted a 5x5 (EVO & DHD are big enough), so I came up with this 5x5 version:

application_boxed.xml

Change android:textSize="@com.htc:dimen/darklist_primary_xs" to android:textSize="17.0px"

And when i recompile my file i have this :

but with this mi rosie is it ok ?

irgnore the translation warnings, it compiled just fine if it is all related to "default translations"
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
@ Thyrus - have a look at "my Scrolling Rosie in AH Forum, maybe that`s something for your Sensation too?

hii he_stheone64 can you see my rosie.apk for verify what's wrong please .

it is rosie of android revolution 6.1.0 pleaseeeeee

i want rosie 5x5 and i make full xml .

but whn i put this rosie on my rom i have rosie 4x4 grrrr lol

+1

I also am fighting to make Rosie 5x5, but it does not go :(
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] brolee93:
lol Last night I spent four hours:) but not work
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
That`s the beauty with HTC, code changes in every new platform - sometimes even the nice surprises with new file formats like m.10...

5x4 is no problem (see my updated revolution Theme for 6.1), for 5x5 to work I would need more time, right now I`m fighting in deeper jungles (tons of smali code for some nice ports, IF they work).
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
You missed a new Rosie folder, that came with latest update. In drawable-normal-long-port-hdpi folder you also need to edit integers.xml:

Change

<integer name="allprogram_grid_rows">4</integer>

<integer name="allprogram_grid_columns">4</integer>

to

<integer name="allprogram_grid_rows">5</integer>

<integer name="allprogram_grid_columns">5</integer>

Don`t forget - yesterdays How-To´s are old today, HTC develops new code with every new base, so you alway need to check what`s new in the code.

Then you were also missing dimens edits in port-hdpi

<dimen name="application_boxed_tv_layout_height">124.0px</dimen>

<dimen name="application_boxed_padding_bottom">0.0px</dimen>
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] brolee93:
thanks i correct false value and now i have rosie 4x5 it is normal for you right ?

i wait your rosie 5x5 and code of htc right ?

i have one bug :
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
I´m currently working on a lot of new stuff, also porting remapping to Sense 3.0, where smali hack has to be adjusted in order to work for Sense 3 Rosie.

Regarding the annoying lines, just set all_apps_divider.9.png in hdpi and drawable-normal-long-port-hdpi folder to full transparency.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sharkie405:
I'm going to make my my Rosie semi-transparent as my next venture. I see in the 1st you mentiong all_apps_view.xml. My Rosie 3.0 doesn't have that but it does have all_apps_tab_view.xml. Inside here the format is almost like you describe in this quote. Here is one example:

android:background="@color/add_to_home_background"

Are you saying to change "add_to_home_background" part of that? Part two of that question is, You said for transparency in these instances to use the word transparency instead of the 00000000 format, right? If I'm going for semi-transparent, should I put in 'semi-transparent'?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
You can only use references, that actually are defined in values folders either in framework, com.htc.resources or values folder of the apk itself. Since there is no semi-transparent, your apk would simply not compile. If you would refer to a framework color value, it would look like here with the @android:

android:background="@android:color

if the color would come from htc resources (which is rare, most of the time it´s dimens or drawables)

android:background="@com.htc:color

In this specific case you even do not need to change that line, if you already added the correct edits in both color.xml. So if you changed already "add_to_home_background" in color.xml to 77000000 (semi trans, can also be 880000000 or 99000000, first 2 are alpha channel fro transparency, goes from 00 to ff), this reference willl already use semi transparency. Changing this would do no harm, but would be a double edit.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] brolee93:
wow i like full transparent ;) .

i can't wait lol

good work
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
If you use my modded Rosie with custom background, all you have to do is change 1 simple png, I recoded it, to make this switch really easy.

So change applistbackground.png in my Rosie (any recent Theme) and you have full transparency, gradients, your dog or whatever you want as background. How To for the custom background is also in OP.

rosie 5x5 android revolution 6.1.0

@he_stheone64

I send you PM with link of rosie.apk,

If you can let me know if there is something to change.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
I did not try your`s, but your edits look correct. Whether you use 16 or 17px or 6.0 or 8.0 padding values is more a matter of personal taste, but it`s great this thread inspires people to mod.

As for integers.xml for new Rosie we need certainly also adjust dimens.xml in new values-normal-long-port-hdpi folder. I updated OP, so thx for your work. That`s how it should be, especially since I don`t have time next 2 weeks and spend way to much time for new experiments (which is more fun, then porting theme from Rom to Rom).

Guide All about Rosie

I saw you are very busy making some of your awesome works in other threads and for others rom, but the most important thing is you share with us your knowledge and it's really priceless.

I'm trying to make a 6*5 rosie I'll let you know how it goes.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sharkie405:
+1 on that. I'm new to Android. I came from WM where it seemed that most people were always willing to explain how they made mods. Android stuff seems to be a bit different. If I have a problem and am looking for a solution, I find so many posts where someone says "Thanks to so and so for xxxxx fix", but they never explain how they fixed it and 'so and so' never explained a fix anywhere that I can find. It's like the big dogs around here PM eachother with info. which makes it very difficult to find answers for the rest of us.

Anyway, sorry for the off topic, but my point is that YES, I am also VERY grateful to you and Tommy for being so willing to explain this stuff to us. That is what XDA is about. You have my thanks and admiration. :)

You can use my jar, if you like full scrolling. 6x5 also works, but for me it get`s to busy then.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Agree - maybe since I never asked and never will ask for donations, the attitude is different. For me Android is all about sharing, since I know pooled knowledge is way stronger, then working in a dark cellar - and I agree, Tommy shares the same attitude, very nice guy.

Rosie 6x5

I try your jar for full scrolling I like more than normal appdrawer. Thanks

For 6x5 do you know a way to reduce icon size in appdrawer ?

If not the image attached is the best I can do, also for me it's busy but I have a lot of apps so I'll use for a while and then I'll see if go back to 5x5.

I can't post link but I can send PM.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
Never needed that one, only resized workspace icons in the past, but did you try these lines in various dimens.xml?

<dimen name="application_shortcut_layout_height">79.0px</dimen>

<dimen name="application_shortcut_layout_width">72.0px</dimen>

<dimen name="application_shortcut_margin_left">0.0dip</dimen>

It's just an idea but reducing size of icons perhaps appdrawer appears less busy, I didn't try with values you post but for sure I'll try just finished Milan - Lazio :)

Rosie 6x5

Just for info, I try to change values in lines application_shortcut_layout.... and application_shortcut_margin.... in all dimens.xml but nothing changed.

I'll try to make some other attempt and I'll post if I find something new.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] :
Hi he_stheone64,

I took the Scrolling Rosie 4x5 from one of your themes and was attempting to remove the semi transparent dock. I decompiled Rosie.apk using the m10 tools, the only edits being made were returning opacity values to 1 from 0.75 and 0.5.

I saved and then decompiled Rosie.apk using apktool to return it to 4x4, after making the edits I wasn't able to build the Rosie.apk due to multiple errors saying the alpha layers were missing from .png's?

Is this usually the case or have I done something profoundly stupid? :eek:

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer! :D
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] he_stheone64:
I trust you either worked on Sense 3.0 GB 2.3.5 or Sense 3.5? New versions, new approaches. Transparency is changed still in m.10 files for these versions, but now it`s in Rosie_navbar.m10
