Do not delete those files in the apks. They are the signature keys that allow them to be recognized and used by the system.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
k i wasn't talking about them in the apks i was talking about them in the meta-inf folder and how do you edit the text you get when you flash an update.zip?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
hey could you tell me what happened here because as you see in landscape the app drawer icon is a bit off the left button
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
It is okay to delete those in the update.zip. They're useless anyways after you open the zip up. You have to resign in order to create new keys. The message is in the updater script. Just expand all the folders until you see "update-binary" and "updater-script". Open the script in notepad++ or text edit. Look where the lines begin with "ui_print" That is where the text goes. Do not mess with anything that doesn't say ui_print until you know what you are doing :-)

I would go in and play around with the size of that icon. Nice work btw.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
added a new tt trick. :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wanfaltm:
I was wondering if it would be possible to port the tt rosie sexy edition you have for MikFroyo 4.6 for the Smooth and Sexy V1 rom?

Or should it just work if I try flashing it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Mmm. What is this smooth and sexy Rom you speak of?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Okay I found the smooth and sexy Rom. Damn. Everybody and their mom dropping ROMs lately. So many choices for the community. It's great.

I'm gonna be MIA for the next couple of days. When I get back I will decode that rosie
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Thanks dude
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Another question hehe how would i go about changing the animations for warm z?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rboddy:
Nevermind, found what I needed!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] *bulldog*:
im new here and been looking all day for a keyboard for the EVO running warm z that looks like this.

know where i can get it or can you make one work with Z
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
I will look into this when I get back. I've been away for a few days. :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Ready to go for all Sprint Evo 3.70 OTA based roms
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Well i tried to get a sense 3.0 looking rosie but nothing can you try to get something working dude i can't seem to get it transparent. Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Sure man. Care to link me to some images or something like that? I still haven't seen it...hehe. preferably a link to the Rosie.apk.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
alright lets see what you can get out of the rosie.apk because i didn't find anything it all looks the same as htc sense 2.0 to me. Here are some pics of the transparent rosie Its the first pic.

edit:attacked rosie.apk (sense 3.0 rosie.apk}
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
any updates lol? sorry if i am buggin you man
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
You're not bothering me.

I checked inside Rosie and com.htc.res and could not find transparent pngs. I guess I can use some PhotoShop skills. :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Yea i couldn't find any which i thought was weird since the rosie looks transparent and even the navbar in the htc.resources.apk is the same as the one in the old sense alright thanks man i would do photoshop but i dont have it and i wouldn;t have any idea on how to use it thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
I got some of it working man... just need to make the files in the rosie.apk transparent
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
well i got bored and read some things online and figured it out if you want you can post it in your rosie galore section(its has the right button mapped to personalize edit it if you want) ill upload tommorow.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
IN the rosie.apk what xml do i have to edit to make the app drawer transparent and the personalize menu transparent?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Looking good Joel. Please post!

It should be in all_apps_view.xml, but that's off the top my head.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
alright ill post right when i come back from school.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
To answer your question about apps drawer and add widget transparency, you can control it two separate places.

in launcher.xml, look for this chunk: " <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/content" android:background="@color/all_item_background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent".

where it says "android:background="@color/all_item_background"", change it to "android:background="#00000000"" for 100% clear.

Also, you can leave launcher.xml alone (recommended) and go to values/colors.xml. Look for the <color name="all_item_background"> and change that value to whatever you want. Again, #00000000 is 100% clear. There is also a dependency in values-hdpi/colors.xml as well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
hey Joel, I hope this is what you're looking for. This is for Sprint Evo 3.70 OTA based Roms, but you can easily make this work with Z Rom.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Yea it is thanks and i'll post my work in a sec need to finish a couple of things first.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Umm another question how do i theme the notification toggles on z roms?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Should be in framework-res.apk. stat_<insert-toggle>.png. I haven't checked, but I am sure that's where it is.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
and where are these xml's in z roms i can't find them? What apk are they in?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Rosie.apk. In layout-port and values.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
i still can't find it.....hmmmmm i guess ill just have to edit launcher.xml.....do i have to edit both laucnher.xml? the one in the rosie.apk/layout-port and rosie.apk/layout-land?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
mmm. I guess you should since it has landscape mode.

The colors.xml is in res/values/
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
there is no values folder in my rosie.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
You have to use apktool to decode the apk. :-)

values gets put into resources.arsc after it's compiled. You will not be able to edit the xml without using apktool.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
darn..lol one last question where are the mappings for the right and left and middle rosie buttons located?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
By mapping, you mean which activity they call when you press them? That is buried deep inside smali code. As for what layout they are, that is found in button_bar.xml.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
so they are all in one xml?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
The z is a bit different...I've never been able to get it to work correctly. But yes, it is in button_bar.xml.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
alright thanks for all your help man.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Lol after setting up apktool and decompiling rosie i see the values/colors.xml lol thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
any suggestions my new compiled rosie.apk just force closes for me?

Edit:take a look at it please (attached rosie.apk to post)

Process: Compiled rosie.apk, Got meta-inf and android manifest and res folder from original rosie.apk and put it in new rosie.apk and put it in a flashable.zip and then flashed and got force closes
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Dude. Did you go to sleep? Hehe.

Try this.

Decompile Rosie. Then without making any edits, recompile. Do you get any errors in either step?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kydkupa:
Hey Tommy, would you consider making a theme for the Virus gingersense beat or the kindom port?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
What kinds of stuff would you like to see?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
For any one interested....

Available in my Rosie thread.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] g0ldt00thgr1n:
Can someone direct me to this keyboard? I want to try and flash it on my ThunderBOLT.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] g0ldt00thgr1n:
Nevermind! Lol.

Edit: It didn't work. Anyone think I can replace the files through Ninja Morph with the original HTC_IME.apk?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
A bit of the keyboard colors are smali based. You'd have to open it up and make some edits. Does the stock tbolt keyboard come with arrows?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] g0ldt00thgr1n:
Posted twice. Oops.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] g0ldt00thgr1n:
Yes, its the exact same as the EVO'S keyboard.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Yea i went to sleep like around 2 am i just woke up lol..and after i compile it do i put the original meta-inf and androidmanifest.xml in the new rosie.apk?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
I'm almost 100% sure the evo version will not work with the Tbolt. Maybe ask one of the devs over there about it. Chingy is a real cool dude!

I don't normally do that. Here is why. Sometimes, depending on which version of apktool you use, the layouts get all funky after you decompile, which leads to force closes. I take my original apk and open it in betterzip (7zip if using pc) and replace only the files I modded.

For example, I edit a string in Rosie.apk after I decompile. Make the edit and rebuild. You should now get a "build" folder and a "dist" folder in your working folder. Don't use the apk in the dist folder. Go ahead and use your original apk to preserve it's sigs without transferring the meta-inf and android-manifest. Since values get's packed into resource.arsc, take the one from build/apk/ and place inside your original apk. Then adb push it or flash it. All done!

If you did a layout edit, say launcher.xml, take the recompiled launcher.xml from build/apk/res/layout-port/ and place it in your original apk. That way, only the necessary xmls are swapped and the ones you didn't change remain stock for sure.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Ok i'll try it lol i've seen your keyboard mods and don't see a stock keyboard with arrows for z roms would you happen to have one?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Available in deodex and odex flavors. Other colors by request.

I started that project but never finished. It's a lot of rewriting as far as resources go and I'm sure there is a ton of smali too. A bigger project than I could handle for just one thing. Sorry man. But if you decide to tackle it, good luck to you! Go for it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
O Ok and i tried your method and still got force closes any more ideas?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
mmm. So refresh me with what exactly you're trying to do with Rosie? Go ahead and post the original Rosie, not the one you modded, here and I'll look at it. It's for z rom right?

And are you 100% sure you're not getting any error messages? It should look like this when you decode:

Tommy-Nguyens-iMac:~ Tommy$ apktool d /Users/Tommy/Downloads/Rosie.apk /Users/Tommy/Downloads/Rosie
I: Baksmaling...
I: Loading resource table...
I: Decoding resources...
I: Loading resource table from file: /Users/Tommy/apktool/framework/1.apk
I: Loading resource table from file: /Users/Tommy/apktool/framework/2.apk
I: Copying assets and libs...
Tommy-Nguyens-iMac:~ Tommy$

Like this when you recompile:

Tommy-Nguyens-iMac:~ Tommy$ apktool build /Users/Tommy/Downloads/Rosie
I: Checking whether sources has changed...
I: Smaling...
I: Checking whether resources has changed...
I: Building resources...
I: Building apk file...
Tommy-Nguyens-iMac:~ Tommy$

Do this process without editing anything in between, just decode and build. For testing purposes, take the "dist" apk and place the original meta-inf and android manifest in it and try that one.

And also, which version of apktool are you using? You can find out by typing "apktool". Look for the first line of output.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
yup no errors apktool 1.3.2 and heres the non modded rosie.apk im trying to get the app drawer and personalize menu to be fully transparent by editing the values/colors.xml and the values-hdpi/colors.xml and changing the line you told me to change to #00000000.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
And get force closes when decoding apk and then compiling it back with no changes and putting the original meta-inf and androidmanifest.xml in there.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
The rosie mod is missing update script?

..edit, solved. Its double zipped
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
So you figured it out? Interesting that it's double zipped. Does your browser do that somehow? I downloaded all files to test and all were fine.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Altuswire:
Thank you for the mod! Much appreciated
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] johncjenc:
Im using dolphin and I dl straight from tapatalk. The issue was that the parent folder was included in the zip, so I unzipped extracted the folders and rezipped and it worked just fine. Neither cw or ra would flash bc they couldnt find the script being one tree down in the zip.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Great, I am happy you figured it out John.

Just an update: I just figured out my kink in the java code. I can now go back to decompiling. In roughly thirty minutes I should have the following:

4x5 Workspace

4x6 Workspace

5x5 Workspace

Optional 5x5 App Drawer and 4x4 App Drawer For Each.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] miguelfp1:
that would be awesome, the only thing missing from a perfect Warm Z setup for me is the 4x5 or maybe 5x5 workspace!

and great work on the text Rosie, it looks great!! although I have to say, that I had the same issue as John, the zip file had the parent folder inside it, I had to extract and rezip for it to flash, so if anybody else has trouble flashing it, they should check the zip. (I downloaded using the stock browser directly from the forum)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
My apologies! I have updated the file for text Rosie. Will someone please test the new file and see if the updater script is intact?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] miguelfp1:
new one is working perfectly, thanks again!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Okie Dokie. I have updated OP to contain various Rosie Workspace Mods.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lowetax:

how can i not try these out !!!

if i was smart, i'd brick my evo for two months !
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Please brick mine while you're at it!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lowetax:
hey tt - went with 4x5 thanks !

and you never need to say Sorry !

when rotating to landscape, it chops the bottom row off ...

thanks dude !
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Thanks for all the help. So is the IME apk not editable? I've tried changing the pngs with no avail.

Support An Upcoming Artist, Buy My CD: xclusiverydah.blogspot.com/2011/02/phase-2-mixtape.html
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
It is but the latest HTC_IME supports multi touch and has arrows. Since the z roms don't support those things it will require more than PNG edits. Ill have to crack open some xml or even smali. In the meantime you can enjoy the desire z keyboard in post 1. Ill be working on the port but no promises :-)

Sent with Supersonic style.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Right. I Understand But The HTC IME That Is In 3.70 Builds Is Multi Touch Just Like The Desire HD'S IME. They Seem To Be The Exact Same Thing With The Exception That The Buttons Look A Little Different Color Wise.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
To be honest, I haven't played with the latest keyboard from 3.70. Even on myn's RLS 5 I stuck with the gingerbread keyboard. I didn't know that it supported multi touch.

Wait wait wait, do you want the latest HTC_IME for to be use with a z rom or a Evo Sense based rom, like warm 2.2 or sprint lovers, etc? If it is the latter, than I can definitely do it for you. Haha, I thought you wanted a port for a desire z port (warm z). Let me know Rydah. And I will look into your music. :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Added a few cool things. Working on some others.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Yes the evos stock htc ime has had multi touch since 3.29. lol

I want to use it on a stock evo with root rom. (JoeyKrim's Original 5.1 Modded)

Oh and thanks for recognizing that i am a musician. Ill have a full on studio single on iTunes This coming tuesday. hopefully i take off. :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
So the JoeyKrim rom does not come with the stock keyboard? I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for. I'd love to help.

This is what I think you're looking for: A stock HTC_IME with arrows to be used on the Joeykrim rom. Correct"

Also: Although the evo IME is "multitouch", it isn't a true one like the gingerbread or Droid X keyboard. If you try one these you will know what I am talking about.

:-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Okay. I'm out getting cat food. Hehe. I got my cats healthy cat food and my boy cat hast eaten in two days. He's a brat. So I am getting regular food now.

Do a Google search for apktool v1.3.1. That should solve your fc issue.

When you decode, in the output folder, do you see a "v4" added onto several folders like drawable and layout and values?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
nope i dont see a v4 and ok ill try apktool 1.3.1 and im also going to try apkmanager.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
It seemed to work with apkmanager.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Really? Awesome man. Screenies?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
no force closes or anything but the transparency is missing it's not full transparent it's the original gradient of the uber z rom i want it transaparent like on myn warm z....i think i might have to edit launcher.xml. and yes i decompiled the new rosie and checked for my edits and they are there but no transparency.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
for editing the launcher.xml for transparency is the edited line like this

"android:background="#00000000""

or like this

"android:background="#00000000/all_item_background""
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
The first one. Just the hex code string.

#00000000
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
so i delete the all_item_background text?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Yep. It should say:

android:background="#00000000"
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Never mind lol it seems that my persective of transparent isn't possible for the app drawer. I was thinking about fully transparent like you can get for the notification pull down but all you can get on the app drawer it seems is a blurry kind of transparent.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
im just wondering but what would the All_apps_view.xml change?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
There are various things in that one. It's a little different for the z rosie. Just poke around and you'll figure it out. I'm off to bed. Good night Joel. Don't stay up too late.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Lol ok thanks for all your help and yea i need to get some sleep tonight.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
No problem man. And you can make it 100% transparent. You'll figure it out. Hehe.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
OMG after countless hours or trying this it finnaly worked finnaly fully transparent!!! I just looked at warm z all_apps_view xml and colors xml and used their values and it worked perfectly thanks again dude for all your help!!! Now i can go to sleep after i incorperate this into my uber z rom that is :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Great job man. I told you you'd get it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
Thanks.! 10char
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
need some help the rosie.apk worked and everything but i looked into the res and it has both drawable-hdpi and drawable hdpi-v4 and drawable-port-hdpi and drawable-port-hdpiv4 etc...same for the rest of the folders.......any help? I tried deleting the hdpi folders and leaving the hdpi-v4 but i just get force closes.

Edit:attached my rosie.apk to post take a look at it please.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
I'm at work right now, but I will check when I get a chance. I recommend using apktool v1.3.1 if you're not already.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
alright. ill try that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] renzo.olivares:
apktool v1.3.1 seemed to work thanks dude.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Any time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:

Hello

Would like to see the following please

1. Transparency added to stock Rosie or a new clear curve Rosie

2. Transparency added to notification bar

3. Transparency added to notification/quick setting drop down

4. Transparency added to app draw

5. 5 coloum app drawer

The rom is great as is but for me this would make it perfect.:-)

As always thanks for all the hard work
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Hoyane:
Agree!

Was just coming to request #1 But if you can do all those that would be awesome! I also use the MMS right button remap so dependent on your time maybe we could get that too. Also i would need a deodex version.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Moricon:
The MMS remap already exists. Follow the links in the op of misfits rom ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988743). Be sure you use the correct version (ode or deodex). If you are using odex don't forget to down load the zip for the button change ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14184313&postcount=1778). Remember TTs file first them Mragu file.

Good luck
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Hey gals and guys.

Been hard at work (real Life) and also hard at work on Android Utility Blue Waffle Magic Pack.

I will resume Rosie mods shortly, but I want to release the utility first. Still a lot of code to write...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] reverepats:
what is it?.....like a ROOT TOOLBOX type app or something?.....sounds interesting tho
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
There is a link in my signature to a little survey of what folks would like to see.

Basics:

Apk modifications (sign, decompile, zipalign, optimize)

Draw9patch decoder and encoder

Fully fledged adb utility

Nandroid via usb and terminal

Flash_image via usb and terminal (flash thing like PC36IMG and recovery images)

Eventually add an auto root method (or close to auto)

Smali and baksmali

Modify boot.img

Lots more

Pretty much, I want to have an all inclusive utility that allows the user to completely take advantage of all the tools available. I've been really lucky to have gotten hands on help from some of the great devs since I've started and I've been happy to return this favor to many of the newer folks as well in the last couple of months. Even though I was capable of finding all the tools and getting the help I need by googling, some of the tools are hard to understand or difficult to set up, et cetera, for some users anyways. The goal is to create a nice utility for new users as well as seasoned veterans. It will help automate the process and take away the questions I think. Anyways, click on that link and see what you think. :-)
