Modded autorotate rosie (htc launcher)

for those that want the "autorotate" as well as replace "personalize" button with "launchkey" on your homescreen...

here is the easy way to install:

1. place com.htc.launcher.apk on your sd card

2. if you need to rename it to rosie.apk or something else do that now

3. load terminal emulator on phone

$ su
# mount -o remount, rw /system
# mv /system/app/com.htc.launcher.apk /system/app/com.htc.launcher.bk
# cp /sdcard/com.htc.launcher.apk /system/app/

again, this is the "launchkey" version of "rosie remapped", so you need to download launchkey app, for full functionality.

has anyone gotten the modified 4 x 2 Lg Optimus 2x weather and clock to work with this rom. I got the original to work but that takes the entire screen I was hoping to get the 4 x 2 modified one.

I'm using virt 0.9.0 and I've this issue too - just noticed today for two times ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sonofabit:
This happens on CM7 as well. It seems when you launch the market app, even if you're on WiFi, it starts the data connection and reconnects. Not sure why. Seems like a market app thing.

Anyone have a link to 0.8.1 by chance?

There's no direct link to 0.8.1 itself, just the patch.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blast0id:
it's definitely a market thing and not a rom issue, because market will NOT load if there is no cellular data connection of some sort... this seems really effed up though, how are people who have no data plan, but have access to wifi supposed to use the market? I dun get it :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
Yep -- I've had this happen on stock ROM too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bouzouki:
i tried this earlier and it is a great mod... i wanted this so bad... i love the landscape homescreen....one problem though is that when i click home button from any other program other than home screens, it takes long... liike a few seconds.

I tried this rom, and Operamini has big problems with it.

It hangs more toftrn than not.

OM works perfectly on the stock ROMs, even on the latest orange one.

And a phone is not a phone w/o operamini.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
Flashed Virtuous 0.8.1 last night on my G2, and this seems more stable than 0.9.0 and 0.9.5 (just my quick & initial impression). I've always been a CyanogenMod user, but got my first taste of Sense on my previously owned (and exchanged) MyTouch4G. Of course that version was bastardized by T-Mobile, but still it had some good potential. Now that I have a G2, I've flashed almost every ROM to give them all an equal opportunity. CyanogenMod has stayed on my phone the most, and after playing with Gingerbread I feel that Froyo is the way to go for the G2. Gingerbread is just too damn slow to me, but maybe it's not fair to say that since it's only in a nightly version.

Anywho, I'm really enjoying Virtuous. The HTC Sense experience is pretty damn good, and the 0.8.1 version doesn't slow my phone down. I am using the standard kernel, so my G2 is OC'd to 1.0 GHz which is good enough for me. I'm looking for good performance yet very good battery life, and prior to this I was using CM 6.1.1 Stable with it OC'd to 1.4 GHz... not the best battery life. Keeping my fingers crossed with this one.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
The launcher from the 1.72 builds doesn't do this. You can grab the older launcher like this:

Download Virtuous 0.9.0, find com.htc.launcher.apk and extract it to your sdcard root. Make sure you have a recent nandroid, just in case. Go to terminal and type the following:

Su

Mount -o remount, rw /system

Cp /sdcard/com.htc.launcher.apk /system/app/

Then reboot. This *should* work. If not...nandroid! Worked for me though.

Miren browser is far better than Opera Mini
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ptesmoke:
miren and dolphin are both light years ahead of opera, imo. hell even the stock browser trumps opera...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sandrome:
Opera is great if you have no data plan or a misrable connection because it needs less traffic than other browsers.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] YOSEFE:
I noticed that this release of ROM has things "Orange", what can we do to remove references to "Orange", say in the email accounts setup option; and what about Orange maps, can non-Orangers use them?

Configuring right now, and no problems so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
How about you guys stop talking about browsers, which don't relate to this ROM at all, outside of the person who said Opera isn't working with .9.5.

I found .9.5 laggy with the advanced kernels (as was expected), but runs superb on stock. No hangups, no lag, very smooth and fluid. I had tons of issues with 8.x, so if I could LCD density this to 195 (my usual setting) and get rid of the recently used icons in the notification area (and use the power control widgets) then I'd be much happier. I'm being lazy and don't want to switch from CWM3.0, lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Slightly off topic, but the newest recovery flashes 2.x and 3.x ROMS. No need to switch back and forth!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sandrome:
Are you sure about that? Cause Rom Manager told me that there is a new recovery version but I thought it would not work with froyo. That sounds really great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kusiman77:
I have a problem. i flashed .9 and my trackpad does not flash for calls or notifications in general.

Any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Well I know it can flash ROMs, lol. That's how I've been flashing 2.x ROMS, as I've had the 3.0.0.5 recovery for a while now. At least 3 weeks. The problem comes, with trying to flash some additional files. For example, there is a mod for Virtuous (not sure if it works with .9.5) that changes the recent apps, to power control widgets. When I tried to flash that with the old (same file number as the new one released 2 days ago, 3.0.0.5) recovery I had, it spat out an error in cwm3, stating that the way of doing things changed up in cwm3, and to contact the originator of the script used, to update. Meh, not a huge deal, lol, but yeah.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I actually recommend getting onto Clockwork 3.0.x. We're going to require it soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bouzouki:
Rmk, I flashed a fresh copy of .9.0 did my mod, landscape homescreen, desirehd ice Matrix icons, when I had 3.x recovery it wouldn't flash my icon mod...had to go back to 2.x....but Im good now.....I have better battery life on advanced kernel at 1.4 than with standard at 1.0

I just lost this morning all my messages. Hopefully SMS backup+ works well and I recovered all of them. I still don't know why this occurred. I only choosed to shutdown my phone yesterday evening ... on virtuous 0.9.0 ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] conizius:
Well my messages also dissapeared a few days ago. I read somewhere that it would be an issue with the sense based roms in general (well the fault is at htc). But maybe the devs could have a look at it? I know its kind of hard because it occures randomly...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
I tried to remember what I could have done the days before that could explain all my messages went away, but I can't figure out what special I did :confused: except that I never set to phone off (tonight appart :p)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PatrickHuey:
What are your setcpu settings and your govenor? That's most likely the issue. Use the standard kernel that is automatically set ay 1ghz. You'll be fine. Don't set you're settings so low if you have a screen off profile.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dustrho:
For the SMS/messages problem, you may want to install SMS Backup & Restore. It allows you to backup/restore your messages (simple concept, I know), and you can even create a backup schedule so you don't have to rely on manually backing them up yourself.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ramsfan_Jim:
I have been a very happy Virtuous user for a couple of months now, and apart from the odd minor quirk have had no issues. However 4 days ago I updated to v0.9.5.

The first thing I noticed (after the battery figure within the symbol - VERY nice!), was the signal strength seemed to be poorer than previously, generally 1 or 2 bars less. As a result (I suspect) my battery life seemed a bit worse - but I know to a give it a few days to make a proper judgement.

Other than this, everything seemed fine. Then, a couple of days later I noticed that after I'd updated a playlist in the music tab, it had gone back to before the edit which seemed strange. I made the edits again and then did a Titanium backup, but sure enough every time I make an edit or restore, they revert a few hours later.

Finally today HTC Sense would not load at all - no changes whatsoever (always difficult to tell if another app had interfered with playlists etc.), just stopped and would not load. I rebooted, restored all from Titanium, eventually HAD to nandroid restore v0.9.0. I just hope everything works now...

My question is I have seen mention of v0.9.6 - where can I get this? I like most of v0.9.5 except the bugs, so I'd like to try v0.9.6 if it fixes them!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
I'm telling this to anyone who will listen. I'm confident the battery drain issues plaguing these ROMs is "Facebook for HTC Sense". Remove the account from your phone via Settings -> Accounts & sync. Use the "Facebook" proper version instead.

Try it for at least a day and you'll see what I'm talking about.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mreeekay:
Would turning off the accounts sync in the power manager widget work the same? I like the facebook sense sync for my contacts. I turn it off when I go to work to save battery life. I know that it is syncing about every hour (the way I have it set up).

Thanks for the hard work! I went back to 9.0 because I couldn't handle the homescreen lag. But I did enjoy all the minor enhancements. I'll wait for a fix.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bongd:
I haven't noticed poor battery life but for the sake of giving this a shot, I will. That way I can provide some contrast and comparison between my experiences with and without it. As long as my contact pics are synced I could just re-enable Facebook for HTC Sense in longer intervals manually.

On that note, do you think you may be able to hack it so that it updates infrequently? Mine hasn't been a bother in the past but if I can keep it enabled it'd help. I like the annotations it adds to Google Contacts - I can just pop my SIM into another device and everything is linked to my Google account. Kind of like cloud storage for my settings. I like it.

***EDIT/ADDENDUM***

I acknowledge the fact that the app can be set to sync only on daily intervals anyway. But I meant to inquire as to whether it's suspected that it's acting loopy and updating more, or just doing something in the background to cause excessive battery drain. No system apps have every reported mine to run funky but I already have it set for only daily intervals. I check FB enough manually that I don't need anything pushed other than contact pics and statuses.

1. Download

2. Place in root of sdcard

3. Open terminal emulator

4. Type su (enter)

5. Type mount -o remount, rw /system (enter)

6. Type mv /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip.bk (enter)

7. Type cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/customize/resource/ (enter)

8. Reboot

9. Please give me your feedback =)

Thinking about changing the text color (what would you like it to be?) Also considering something else in the background to give a tincy bit more depth... but afraid of making it too busy... anways, let me know what you think please. =)

Not to say you didn't do these but....

Be sure to wipe all data incl the dalvik. What I normally do is wipe the phone twice then flash. Even if it is a reflash. Also in the ROM Manager and run the 'fix permissions' utility. That might work.

I think each release is based off the latest rom available. It just happened that this release was built off the Arabic RUU rom that was leaked last week. I've been running that rom and it's worked flawlessy, I've enjoyed having the arabic localization too :)

Edit: Flashed and it worked great. For those that want an arabic keyboard, I posted the arabic keyboard from the RUU rom.
