[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Max_Pain:
I'll add another stupid question.

I opened the resources.arsc files with ultra edit...but how do I find the correct string to edit? I would need to find it for both your rosie.apk and for the launcher pro apk...

Swyped from an HTC Evo on MetroPCS...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
99% of the effort of being a good modder if figuring out what to edit in the first place, and why. Actually doing the edit itself is the easy part :).

In terms of the Rosie.apk, you can modify the hex values that I changed the position to (as referenced above), to your liking, as I have already found the spot for you.

In terms of launcher pro, there is no relation whatsoever to this mod, and would have to be attacked from square one.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] supers2k:
How do you install this? Do you just flash the zip in recovery????
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
The 2 options I've posted, as mentioned in the OP, are MetaMorph files, to be applied using the free MetaMorph application available in the market. MetaMorph allows you to modify existing apk files already on your phone, w/o replacing the file wholesale, thus preventing you from undoing other changes / themes you may have on your phone, that flashing the full file through recovery would cause. These are NOT flashable zips.

SteelH has also posted a different color version as the whole Rosie.apk file that you would have to use adb to push to your /system/app folder, or create as a signed zip to flash via recovery.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Metamorph is the simplest solution due to so many ROMs being out there as stated in the OP.

It is helpful if you read the OP prior to asking questions, as many of those answers can be found in the OP from JsChiSurf.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] teshxx:
Hey can u plz make the black 50% rosie into a metamorph compatible so that it doesn't affect the icon changing mod by u. Bc I tried it n replaces Ur mod of phone right browser on left. It would be great if we can just update Ur mod with the black 50% app drawer transparency
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
To get all of this to work together, you will want to do things in a specific order.

First, flash the rosie remap mod you are referring to. That mod replaces the entire Rosie.apk all together, which has a stock resources.arsc file in it, which means it does not contain the transparent app drawer or the icon text removal.

So, once you flash the remap mod, you can then come here an apply a MetaMorph to obtain the transparent app drawer and/or textless icons.

Below is another MetaMorph, similar to the ones in my initial post, that will give you 50% black transparency on the app drawer AND removal of icon text on the homescreens:

Apply App Drawer Partial Black Transparency & Remove Icon Text on Home Screen <---Apply using latest MetaMoprh Application
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] teshxx:
Oh great thanx. Can u also make one without removing the text?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Would you please upload the file at 50% transparent please.

Edit: ah, its already posted. Lol

50% transparent

Can't seem to get the 50% transparent version to work with metamorph.

The file in the OP works, but not the latest one.

Maybe it's me though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
I'm not sure anyone posted MM versions of this other than myself in the OP...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Seagullbeagle:
3 posts up before my last one

Five posts up from this one? 50% transparency?

sorry if it's me.

edit: also was wondering if there was a way to make the pull down menu appear the same?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Lol, completely forgot I did that! The MM on my phone works fine, so best guess is a corrupt upload. I just pushed a fresh copy up to the server. Give it another shot.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
hate to ask, but would somebody please post a transparent black metamorph version? i ask for that specifically because im using another rosie (espresso) and applying this whole rosie.apk adds the little scroll page indicator.

thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Come on now, 6 posts up...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
yes i see that there is that version posted but it removes text. i preffer it to only change the background. thanks.

EDIT: OR CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO PREVENT IT ROM REMOVING TEXT?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wsantiagow:
Request

I would be thankful for just the App Drawer Partial Black 50% Transparency with text NOT being removed.

Ive tried to mess with this but for some reason, I cant figure this one out.

Again thank you very much for anyone that does this for me! :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
i been trying to achieve this also but this type of modding isnt my thing. =/
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Transparent Black with Text

Here's a MetaMorph for transparent black WITH text.

Apply App Drawer Partial Black Transparency <--- Apply using latest MetaMorph

Untested, please nandroid and confirm.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wsantiagow:
OK I figured it out. First use the original metamorph (background looks white).

Next use Steel's Rosie.apk.rar and extract the Rosie.apk

Last step:

adb push Steel's Rosie.apk /system/app/ from your commad prompt (image below)

You will have to shutdown your phone and reboot after this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wsantiagow:
Thank you very much for your quick help. I got it going but im sure there will be quite a few people using this morph. I did it the hard way:D

Again Thank You!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
No, No, No. That defeats the point of a MetaMorph and why everyone is asking. Otherwise, there's no point in applying the MetaMorph in the first post, if you're just going to overwrite the entire apk via the second step by pushing to the phone.

See my previous post for a MetaMorph.

BTW, I don't typically run LWPs, but I just added one the other day, and it is pretty cool, I think, to see the LWP moving behind the app drawer...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wsantiagow:
Yes I tried to adb the Rosie.apk over my stock one several times but the phone just stayed stuck at boot screen. This is why I tried the 2 step process that seemed to get me past the stuck boot screen (strange).

I will download your metamorph file and keep it in my archives for future use. I definitely would rather use metamorph for sure. Thanks Again!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Seagullbeagle:
Thank you OP. Works great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
Ok. I haven't used metamorph. But just looked it up on market, and read this thread, and sounds like an app where I can apply changes and unapply them if I choose. Is that right? Because I'd really like to check this out but like to be able to undo stuff I do (aside from just nand restore), also I don't know if applying metamorph will carry over from one nand to another (I still don't get that about android)

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mich2Ga:
Great work & drop...THANKS!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JsChiSurf:
Sorry, I missed this post. Unless and undo MetaMorph is posted, it is one-way, in terms of the MetaMorph. In this case, you can simply grab the original Rosie.apk out of your ROM if you wished to restore to stock.

Just about any change you apply survives through a nandroid, MetaMorphs included.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Chicken Nugget(s):
I find the background too dark for my liking so I want to change it, but I can't seem to find the values you were talking about. Can anyone tell me how to find these values? And can we make the background in settings etc transparent in the same way as well?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Digitalkarma:
JsChiSurf, I tried metamorphing the semi transparent black app drawer. It works just as expected however my 4x5 homescreen reverts back to 4x4. The app drawer looks amazing. It would be a shame if I had to choose one or the other. I'm using amiikam's 4x5 Stock rom Rosie workspace mod. The 5 row app drawer is untouched by the metamorph, which means its working like it should. Its just the homescreen that is giving me problems. Any help is appreciated :)

Just as you were replying I stumbled across your remap Rosie thread doing yahoo search. Thanks again. I was wondering since all your Rosie remaps have the app drawer in the middle, if it was possible to switch out only the add button on the right for a web button. My dock is virtually stock with the app drawer on left, phone, including the word"phone" in the middle and add widget button on right.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lvnatic:
Hi guys, having a question here. This is related to the htc desire, not evo. I flashed a custom ROM that has transparency built in, and I want to get rid of it. Can I remove it by editing the same resource. file like you said on the 1st page? Thing is, I can't find it on my phone, in the android system. I am s-off. Thanks and sorry for bothering you with such stuff, i know its not the right place but didn't find anything closer to this.

Do i still need to put the forever or does the 3.21 update already cover that?

because i have tried to install the forever file and it cant read it in recovery mode.

it keeps telling me it cant update and cant find anything.

i have renamed the .zip file to update.zip but that didnt seem to work.

should i unzip the file and put on the SD card?

i mean i have no idea on what to do anymore.

plus i have done this on my brothers incredible also,which works for evo and incredible.

and i dont plan to use my phone(evo) if it doesnt work out.

do i still need to update my radio or does the unrevoked 3.21 already cover that also?

because it seems to be up to date still.

any suggestions?

need major help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogic6:
1) Slow down.

2) Tell us, clearly, what you're trying to accomplish.

3) Tell us what recovery, ROM/Version you are running.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Unrevoked 3.21 does NOT contain Unrevoked forever.

Unrevoked forever works at a lower-level than other rooting utils/procedures.

It works at the "radio" level. As such, other utils do not affect it.

Meaning; once applied, it remains applied - even after applying a new ROM.

Things that MAY affect Unrevoked forever, include a STOCK reflash.

Other than that, S-OFF will most always remain applied.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
Some say Unrevoked 3.21 does have nand unlock, and permanent S-OFF -

in fact, their website says so.

I recently Used Unrevoked 3.21 - the "new, and improved" version. But upon

completion w/o error. My phone didn't indicate S-OFF. So I downloaded/installed

Unrevoked forever. Now it indicates S-OFF.

I'm not sure that the Nandroid backup procedure will perform as complete a

backup as you would ideally want/need. It depends a great deal how you "sync"

your personal data. It may be in your best interest to use something like

Titanium backup, as well as Nandroid backup, just to be safe.

There are a lot of threads in the forums regarding problems related to flashing.

So your best insurance is always the best backup you can perform -

even if it is a somewhat redundant one (you can never be too sure). :)

In all honesty, I can't remember the exact proceedure for this.

Best advice: Go back to their website, and follow the directions. :)

[Epic 4G General] copsgottanks:
Alright guys, a few more rookie questions from this kid and I'll stop bothering the piss out of you :p

First off, I've recently rooted, and I have a few questions. I'm running a stock rom, and I rooted using the one click root but other than that, I haven't done anything major to my phone because I'm sort of lost in the process on a few things.

So, number one, I keep reading about the new update, I think it was DI18 or something to that effect? What I'm curious to know is, am I going to get these updates OTA with root, and, if so, will it remove root or am I fine as long as I have a stock rom? I just need to know if I need to avoid updating the phone OTA or not worry about it.

Also, I wanted to know how to get a netfiltered enabled kernel. i've been trying to use Wireless-Tether and I don't get any errors, just no UL or DL numbers and it doesn't do anything to my computer.

I posted a few threads ago that I am completely new to Android and such and have been running WinMo for the last 4 or 5 years. I'm trying to get used to all of this and after running with my HTC Raphael for the last year and a half I'm finally upgrading and this is a whole new world.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks to everyone in the community! I really appreciate all of it. Oh, and for the record, I've looked around for a few hours on the net trying to figure out these things but I can't seem to find any answers. It seems like all of this is common knowledge for everyone else, but I've been running with Android for less than 2 weeks now. Thanks all.

Dig Life!

[Epic 4G General] Roastabowl:
I seem to be having the same problem you are with wireless tethering. So if you figure out a fix please let me know.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
We don't need a special kernel for wireless tether. Wirelss tether for android pre15 works fine for me. Ota updates will remove root, but so far it seems our same root method is fine with 2.2.1 updates (dk28) .
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Isn't it true though that some custom kernels don't support tethering? For example, I run Andromeda DI18 and when I try to tether it says its not supported by my kernel.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Well, not sure. The only ones I have run are mix up and fluff. Both worked for me.

I'm completely stock right now with the new update H7 and new to this flashing and rooting stuff. I've been reading everything and seems yall got all this down to just clicking one button and the program does the rest.

So before i try this everyone says backup backup backup soo that leads to...

1. Is there anyway to back up my phone like it is now since i haven't rooted. Just in case something goes wrong

Or

2. is the only option i have is to do the one click root thing and back up the rom then try to flash the 2.2 ?

and

3. If something goes wrong and 2.2 doesn't flash right..could i just go into recovery mode and click reinstall packages and be back to the h7 (if i don't root to back up)? or does that recovery option get deleted/overwritten when i try to flash 2.2 with odin one click?

thanks for any help
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
You don't really have to back up your phone. It is up to you if you have important info, games etc that you want to keep. Lots of times games were either purchased from the market so they will be attached to your profile. Use appbrain to sync your market as well. Otherwise there really is no way to do a backup unless you are rooted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jkburba:
so basically i'll have to root to back up the phone at its current state? ...i'm not really worried about having to reinstall everything i've only bought beautiful widget so far but i think froyo flash deletes everything anyways right? but i just want to be able to go back to stock in case something goes wrong and the flash doesn't work or say the phone screws up and i need the warranty.

If the flash goes wrong can i go back to recover mode and hit the reinstall and will it reinstall the h7 i have now back to the phone or will that recovery option be deleted when you try to flash the 2.2?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
In rom manager you have the option to back up your phone in its current state. If you get boot loops or continuous force closes you would need to use odin to flash back and do root again to load rom manager. Then you would be able to load your backup.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jkburba:
ok thanks man, ...one more thing does the one click root/unroot work just fine with the 2.1-update1 right? the h7 firmware wont make a difference when trying to root?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] uncleswoop:
you rename the "startup.txt" to "default text". so when it gets to that haret screen, just press run and itll work.

you mite have to do it after a fresh install if your startup.txt if its size is at a 0.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
That's you're problem then. You need a startup.txt... it kinda tells haret where everything is & how to set the system up basically...

There should be a STARTUPS folder. Grab the startup for your device, put it where you run haret from.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] peruwan:
have you seen the screenshot on my last message i dont have such thing...i still got the backup from the older build is that a problem to copy paste?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I've seen your magical screenshot dude. I can't really see if that's the root of the SD or what, so that's why I mentioned a STARTUPS folder. Babijoee's builds used to have 'em, I think reef removed it so it wouldn't confuse people... You can reuse an old startup, just make sure that it's setup correctly. If it's not, it could cause issues. Which is why you may want to start over, why the heck do you not have a startup.txt?!?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] peruwan:
theres no STARTUP file nor STARTUP folder in the root thats why ive shown the andboot/ ... ye there was a STARTUP file before i installed this build...

what kinda setup information should i put i got this one from the old

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 2292

So you didn't want to go with a clean new build huh...? It looks OK, you've got the force_cdma command in there 2x for some reason... but I assume since they're both set to 0 that'll be fine. Make sure physkeyboard is set correctly. Other than that, it looks OK.
