O.K. I stripped this from the ROM that was mentioned earlier, to save bandwidth on that site and to make it easier for those that want the "launchkey" version of this mod, as well as "autorotate" 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.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _Pablo_:
Hmm...

It is possible to change this mod in order to use on Desire? (not Z)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Oijkn:
Hi, I'm interested too :)

@OP: You have made a great work mate, that made me want to have it also on my HTC Desire. Any chance to port it please ??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Nice work.

Curious which version of Virtuous was this modded against? I ask because we're seeing performance differences between various bases (1.72 seems to perform better than 1.85).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] the1wingedangel:
It was from the 0.7.x roms, whatever you used there.

Should be easy. I'll see what I can do
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Oijkn:
Good news I'm impatient to see your mod ! Thanks for your contribution :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Moody:
Hi, I have some experience in Android-porting and apk edits. I would like to know which xml file you edited to remap the buttons, since I want to switch the phone and appdrawer icons. It has been done on the Incredible but I don't know which section of which xml file was edited for it.

Greetings, Mike
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Oijkn:
+1 i want to know how I can mod it please, I think is not only xml file but smali too...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mljjlm:
I have found out how to port the functionality to the HTC Hero now, but...

Will it be possible to make the icon on the bar change to the app selected in the LaunchKey-app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Oijkn:
Well good work mate ! Do you think it's possible to port it to HTC Desire, please ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mljjlm:
Sure it's possible.. But I only edited some files from an already hacked Rosie.apk - so sorry.. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Oijkn:
Ok, but all members who I asked it nobody success to manage it :( I tried to mod it but i'm not a dev...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] henk2484:
If you upload your Rosie.apk and com.htc.resources.apk, I think I might be able to edit modify your Rosie.

EDIT: Send me a PM with the links, I'm not normally in the Z-forum :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mljjlm:
Did my port of the hack work as expected? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Oijkn:
Hi henk2484, thank you for helping me i will PM you for another request :)

Hi my friend ! Yes your portage work like a charm i think i will post it in my topic (all credits for you), thank you so much and great work :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatdudebutch:
Hey can someone please tell me exactly what needs to be changed in Lockscreen.smali? Does it just needed to be added to the one smali file, because I have Lockscreen.smali 1-26 I believe. Great mod! I would like to port this to the Thunderbolt. All credit to you of course. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Du22ty:
Shot in the dark but will this work with the Villain's SenseGinger rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thatdudebutch:
EDIT: Nevermind, fixed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] :
What modifications to Rosie are needed in the actual smali code?? I have a HTC thunderbolt and am trying to mod Rosie to match other apps on the personalize button, and I could really use some help! Where and what code needs to be modified? Thanks!

How about one with the messaging icon and launch for the slate theme...or if you can guide me on how to do it that will be great.

Thanks :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ill_dawg:
Is there any chance that someone could get this working on the newer sense 3.0 roms? I tried the current version, but the graphics were all messed up. I'd love to replace the personalize button on my launcher, but I'm not having any luck so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] astriaos:
This is fantastic. One of my main issues with SenseUI based roms was the redundancy of this toggle button. I feel this is important enough to deserve frontpage XDA portal attention. Someone in the know, please submit this to The News Desk.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
Is there some Rosie/Slate apk for that remaps right software button for GB 2.3.3/Sense 2.1 roms ?

I used one of the apk linked in first post but Slate is not anymore listed in HTC skins, and of course icons have changed a bit.

I had a look to the DHD and DS threads, but I did not find the answer ! Thanks ! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g4rb4g3:
I edited the latest Rosie.apk (2.42.405.2). It can be used on any 2.42.405.2 based ROM. Don't forget to install LaunchKey too!

Install instructions:

adb shell stop

adb push Rosie.apk /system/app/

adb shell start
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
I mainly use Slate skin, would it be possible to edit this one too ? or if you don't have time for that, just explain how to proceed, so that it can be done be someone? Many thanks !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] g4rb4g3:
I just edited the function not the icon. This will work with every skin but it will always show the stock customize icon. I don't really care about the icon...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
Right. I updated Slate.apk to match my icon pack. Maybe you will like it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Jay2487:
Is it possible to get this to work on the Sensation? I renamed the file and tried to replaces the system/app rosie.apk with the rosie-browser.apk renamed of course, but it locked the phone up and wouldn't even reboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ethutch:
I tried installing this on the Virtuous Unity 1.31 ROM. That ROM did not have an com.htc.launcher.apk file. But I copied the Rosie_custom.apk as instructed anyway.

Pressing the soft key did launch the launcher, but the phone and menu buttons were VERY "weird" (stylized). Not at all like the pictures on this thread. Also the phone button overwrote the new Sense 3.0 tabs on the program list (favorites and downloads).

So overall this didn't really work at all with that ROM. I examined the apk file - my first foray into them. It seems fairly straight forward and I could probably hunt down PNGs and fix it up, but I'm concerned about the Sense 3.0 3 tab menu.

Is there any chance of getting a Sense 3.0 updated apk?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Sense 3.0 lock/roise (Sense 2.1 or Sense 3)

I agree if this could be updated for one or the other, because while it latest version works with 2.1 Sense roms, you loose the ability to configure the lock screen.

thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hgaara:
Where can I get the apk to assign it to the default Message app?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bail.de:
so this doesn't work with sense 3.0 on desire s does it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GuiPoM:
Would it be possible to get the apk, for the same version 2.42.405.2 as available in latest virtuous rom 2.0.x but linked to killscreen ?

I use the one you created, linked to launchkey, but it takes too much time to first launch launchkey, then launchkey launch killscreen. Then it could take up to 2 secondes to get the screen locked ...

Or just telling me the way to modify rosie.apk, and I will update it myself, and post the modifed file here.

Thanks !
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dejavu157:
is there youtube on this? i cant seem to do it right for some reason. its not working... i downloaded the rosie files to my desktop and when i rand those commands in cmd it doesnt work.

The Switch Pro widgets do not seem to work. They can show you if something is on (WiFi, GPS, etc.) but when you push the buttons it says it's updating the settings but if you look in settings, nothing has changed. If you use the flashlight option it cannot turn on the LED flash.
[Nexus S General] WilliamStern:
Mine works just fine.
[Nexus S General] AdamHart612:
Switchpro works fine for me. In fact, I havent had a single issue with my normal apps with 2.3. Not sure whats borked for you? Sounds dumb but uninstall/reinstall fixes lots of apps.
[Nexus S General] pgibbons:
Hmmmmm. That's weird. I uninstalled Switch Pro Widget and reinstalled. I still cannot get the flashlight switch to turn on the LED (I have the Use the camera flash checked), or the GPS and Bluetooth switches to work. The WiFi and AutoRotate ones do work.

Also with Launcher Pro 8.2, can anyone set a custom dock image? When ever I try and choose a custom dock image it takes me to the Gallery where I pick a dock image but when I go back to the home page there is no dock displayed.

[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
So my question is which 2.2 ROM should I choose to update my Epic4g

I already running a 2.1 based rom from ACS (Syndicate ROM).

Flash is the only upside I'm am seeing atm. For some reason Im doubting ill see any day by day performance increases. or am I wrong?
[Epic 4G General] mi7chy:
Tried stock 2.2 but ended up going back to stock 2.1. Flash support in browser, bluetooth voice dialing, etc. are useful but don't make up for losing MobileAP support which currently works only in 2.1. Some of the other enhancements in 2.2 don't really add to the experience or workflow such as preview windows in browser. I prefer the simplicity and workflow of 2.1. Also, after a few days of using 2.2 GPS stopped locking on no matter what I tried including toggling airplane mode and the only way to restore GPS was to power cycle. GPS on 2.1, on the other hand, has been stable so far.
[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
If your looking for stability and battery life stay away from the un-official 2.2 for now..

These are based on a slightly flaky release.

Don't get me wrong I have loaded most all of them out of curiosity BUT...

Froyo is still sadly not ready for prime time.
[Epic 4G General] durhamite:
I would have to disagree here. When the first froyo leaks came out I would areee that it was not ready. Now there are some good ones that are stable and have good battery life. I like nebula and bonsai the best. I would say give it a shot and if you don't like it go abck to 2.1. Flash runs choppy for me though.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Nebula 1.0.4 Horsehead is what i'm running. The best in my opinion.

I have tried all 2.2 roms and mammons bonsi4all is now my primary rom... quickest for me. Battery life although is not as good as syndicate rom was on 2.1 with xtreme kernal... but I use flash so its worth it for me.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
O boy, maybe ill just wait for andriod 2.3, i dont want to revert back to a rom with bad battery life. Plus, there isnt to many quality 2.2 themes.

Hopefully ACS can release another rom like syndicate or cyannogen mod will be ready soon.
[Epic 4G General] dzl:
I'm running Bonsai and the WirelessTether works fine. But I guess you want to use it with multiple devices at once?
[Epic 4G General] thizzmaster:
Which other roms have you tried??

I loved syndicate rom but they don't offer 2.2 version

Tried viper and epic experience.

How would you compare it to the quantum rom.

I'm really enjoying the latest update of Epic Experience. It feels really snappy, and the battery life is stellar. I've also had no trouble with GPS or tethering. The browser just has a strange loading animation. Other than that, it's awesome.

I have a question about the LG Shine PLus or LG CU720.

Is there going to be a ROm Development board and if so when. Kuzz I would mind getting Gingerbread to run on mine.

I know that Froyo is coming out this winter but I dont think that know one has tried to make a ROM for the shine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gfadmin:
anyone know?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 350Rocket:
I haven't seen anything at all for it yet. There is quite a bit for the LG Ally but it doesn't work on our Shine because there are quite a few differences between them. I'm just hoping 2.2 comes soon, so I can unroot it and and still use wifi tethering.

I do have a custom rom but there's nothing really fancy about it, other than it can be used for theming. It's available in the androidforums.net under the "all things root" Shine subforum.

It fixed the occasional random restart that I used to have, but that was the only difference I have noticed. I haven't found any other rom's than this one or any themes for it.

[EVO 4G General] pena020563:
Ok, things you need to know:

1.rooting your phone will void your warranty.

if you ever do a warranty exchange with sprint, your phone needs to be "UN"-rooted.

2.about your contacts , download a backup app from the market, i prefer mybackuppro. Just in case something goes wrong, which is rare.

3.YOU will be able to delete those annoying stock apps and free up memorie with root explorer :).

Good luck!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] locknes101:
Nahh... seriously? No 4g at all when simply just rooted, stock. No Rom? I thought some of the roms were doing that but not just simply rooting it.. I dunno about ur simplistic statement there buddy. Some clarification plze?
[EVO 4G General] dongator7:
Not true....

Some roms have 4g, some don't.the choice is yours
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I've had my phone rooted since shortly after they were released and I have flashed all kinds of half working bootleg ROMs/hacks, my 4G still works perfectly.

There are some who manage to hose their 4G their first try though, I don't see how though since mine still works after all the stuff I've done to it. I've also never used Unrevoked to root either though.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
I thought that using clockwork took away 4g. Is this not correct? And btw I apologize, I thought that it makes your 4g keep saying scanning (it does that to me in a 4g area and says unknown in my 4g info in about phone)

rooting it will lose 4g?????

Hey thanks.. well nothing erased of my contacts.. and with the voiding the waranty.. my brother works in sprint.. so hopefully.. if something does go bad well maybe he can do something. :) well i already rooted the phone. everything went fine.. and how would u UNROOT THE PHONE?
[EVO 4G General] AdamHart612:
Your 4G WILL BE FINE!!!! Really think we would have such an active community if rooting killed one of the main selling points of the Evo?

Just follow root instructions exactly, dont flash a different recovery if you have 2.02 hboot, and you will be just fine.
[EVO 4G General] snowboarda42:
Video to UNroot I've done it, it works fine. The biggest thing is making sure it says S-OFF on the bootload screen when you power on while holding the down volume button.

Now you'll want to put a different ROM on it, since stock rooted will land you random force closes and such. First, do a NANDROID backup by booting into recovery and doing a backup. I personally copied my backup to my laptop just in case I loose or break the SD card. A nandroid backup is like a "snapshot" of the way your phone is right now. It'll save everything including contacts, kernels, the current ROM you're on, the apps, Data, etc. Literally everything.

Now check out some different roms!

The most popular right now is Cyanogen 6, MIUI, and Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo. I'm using Myn's because it still contains 4G. Myn's is a sense based ROM and most sense based ROMS retain 4G. Cyanogen and MIUI are both AOSP based, basically meaning they're built from the ground up and are way different than your stock ROM. Cyanogen just figured out the encoding for 4G so very soon they will release a 4G version, then MIUI and the rest will follow once he releases the encoding.

Hope this helps!
[EVO 4G General] reedsw:
4g works on Myn TwoPointTwo also. Am I wrong?
