Peace all,
I hope someone here can assist me (not good at all making my own themes). I'm currently running xxBabiBoixx's Carbon ROM --which by the way is a fast EXCELLENT ROM, everyone on Evo should try it. He curently has a themed Rosie based on HTC stock's Rosie (Carbonized). For more space on my homescreen (for minimalist type view) I would like to use Manup's Alternate Rosie (files found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7812533&postcount=1023)
The reason why I'm asking for a Metamorph is because BabiBoi has implemented a whole set of nice mods including flip/fold animations, transparent notification shade and app drawer and modded icons for notifications. When I tried to flash Manup's Alt. Rosie it copied itself over top of his (i guess cause his ROM is heavily themed). I even tried to flash xxVirusxx's BACKTOSTOCK ZIP and it removed all of BabiBoi's modifications to his ROM.
Any help or tip to get this working on my phone would be greatly appreciated (I'm learning daily from being on this site )

I would like a metamorph of the 5 apps in a row from the latest ava rom. I like that rosie but have a few mods to the rosie I'm currently using, so if I knew exactly what file or edit I could replace so that I could keep most of my rosie.

thanks bro,
just wondering, is this the same as in ava's rom? (not that it matters much.)
only reason being that the text on the icons are well centered. thanks for the share though. im sure if it is not, i can extract the file i now know of. you are great!
again, thanks!

This is not, based on SteelH's request, I went ahead and did the mod, as I had done it many moons ago as well, on the Hero, though, as mentioned, I don't personally prefer .
Having said this, I did not spend a lot of time other then getting the icons to be 5 wide, so yea, there's probably some optimizing that can be done. Hope this gets you started in the right direction.
This should work on any Rosie based on the current Sprint 2.2.

Never happened to me, but I know I've seen posts with similar problems. Are you using Clockwork recovery? There are some things you can try, but, really, just do a search in the forums, you'll find a resolution. Also, did you rename the nandroid?

Neither. Sorry for hijacking the thread. My link was just for getting the app drawer to display 5 icons wide instead of 4, per rydah805's request.

I didn't look at the file, but I'd have to assume that the mod was done using a different approach then. PM me and we can continue the discussion. I have text removed from icons, so when I modded the XML I didn't notice an issue. If you let me know, I'll just fix in the version I posted, whatever the issue may be.
ok...now that the hi-jacking of my thread is complete---can someone please help/assist me in making a metamorph of manup's alternate Rosie that wont disrupt or change the theme i have now?

Okay, since I partially contributed to the hijacking of this thread, as my penitence, I'll help you out.
I don't use this Rosie, so if you can point me to where it is / what it looks like, I'll whip something up for you, out of nothing other than sheer guilt...

I can start posting them as I go along but I've never posted a zip, nor do I know how to create a zip to flash in clockwork so I'll take a look around and figure it out, or if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it!

I usually just grab an existing (theme only), delete out the stuff I don't want, add in the apks (like framework-res.apk) I've modded, then flash... if you're just doing png edits. And make sure you keep the same file structure, of course.
Well I actually tried that but was unsuccessful. Maybe because I was using winrar. I'll try it with 7zip maybe that's my issue. Thanks!

indeed, they are the gingerbread version it looks like. nice find!
yeah give them a try, they look really good
it seems whatever CM7 version mods he has on his website are using the old update method, so wont work with CMR3. and pushing the framework-res.apk manually gives a boot loop, so hmm. ill have to contact him and see whats up...
You just have to use amend2edify I think that's what its called there is a script floating around that makes things work in 3.0

thanks for the tip. i also found out that the CM7 versions on his website arent for the DInc. the folders within the framework-res.apk all have "-v4" tacked on the end. example: they are named "drawable-res-v4" instead of what the DInc CM7 has "drawable-res." and you cant just rename it because then the XMLs wont link to the files properly. and i dont know how to compile those so, ill have to see what i can figure out... thanks tho.

ill look into yours and this one. we'll see what works out
a few notes: all images were kanged from Overstew's ICS theme for Calkin's ROM.
I'm not a themer (hence the .apk files), but I love Jez2cool's Sydicate Ice ROM. So I took the images from Overstew's ICS theme and copied them to the appropriate Syndicate Ice 1.1 apks. No other changes were made.
Crap. Can't link to images (or the framework-res.apk (which is over 8megs) ) because I haven't posted enough. Ummm, bear with me here... Any suggestions on how to get link up?
Nice work! Hope to see more work from you... the locals are ravenous for more themes... I think if u post about 8 more posts throughout the threads you will be able to post that framework...
File is too big to post. Would love to get the mediafire link up for everyone tho.

Hey venum, do you happen to have an empty zip(with the updater script etc) available we could just throw these in to flash?(with like 7zip or something). Sure I could find one if I looked around but it'd be helpful to have one near the top of the thread

Lol sure. This is the stock eg30 theme. Keep in mind you will have to resign the zip to get it to run correctly after u add the apks (sorry if u already knew that... u can just delete the extra apks in it...)

So that would turn it into cwm flashable zip?

yes that's all you need. If you want take a look at the updater script, in the Meta-infs/Google/com folder i believe? It'll have the language there needed to tell cwm what to do, think you don't want to use just a standard notepad app to write as it may fail.
Edit: sorry, the updater script is in meta-inf/com/google/android

Sounds pretty straight forward. I'm gonna take a crack at it this morning post-brunch.
Anyone know where the graphics for the Settings menu (Wireless and network; Call settings; Sound, etc) are located? Would like to change those as well but uncertain where to find them. Thanks.
I was going to ask this for EL13 but being that a new leak is out, might as well ask on that, lol...
I like to run stock but 2 things I'm addicted to are the battery % mod and the transparent drop-down drawer.
if I'm the only one, I wouldn't expect a themer to go nuts... but I know a lot of people like to run stock so if this can happen, I'd be eternally thankful
might want to change your topic it's EL26 EL22 was talked about but just as an RDF file that showed up iirc.

You don't know about UOT kitchen? Also you should read up on theming since the two things you are asking for can easily be done by you. Its just a matter of changing PNG files within the apk.

here's the problem with that
I have absolutely no idea what you just said, lol
PNG files are image files. Like a .jpg they end with .png
An apk (.apk) is the application package. Every application on your phone is an apk file. You can open them with 7zip - don't unzip it though unless you feel like signing it and other crap. Also, make sure you zipalign and optimize the PNG files (Google that).

If this is something you really want I can do it for you. I would say do it yourself but the battery % mod can be a little tricky. I am assuming you just want the stock battery icons then?

The default system is not setup for % icons so you have to add a bunch of images and set the xml file to use them. It was more going through the xml. If this is all he wants changed then why would he learn xml?
