I am running SkyRaider 3.3.3. My desire is to remap Rosie so that the center button will open the root folder in App Folders rather than my usual app drawer. This is because I have a lot of applications and having folder organization in my app drawer is a necessity.
I have searched and found a lot of threads about remapping, but none that give clear, step-by-step directions as to what needs to be edited.
I am likely trying to get into a project that's way over my head, but I would love to give it a shot and noodle with it in my free time. I just don't know where to begin.
Also, I am aware that this exact modification went into Uncommon Sense, which I have used and enjoy, but I would love to be able to change ROMs at will without losing this valuable feature.
EDIT: In an effort to try to figure it out by inductive reasoning, I have looked at the logs to see what events are triggered when I press the app drawer button, as well as the action I'd like to remap to that button. I then decompiled SkyRaider's Rosie classes.dex with baksmali and started digging around. So far, I can find absolutely nothing that makes any sense, leading me to believe this project is much, much bigger than I anticipated. I did get a laugh from the "UserHappinessSignals" file (the name, at least). I almost expected to open the file and find a list of words like "smile," and "laughter."
Alas, that was the one ray of sunshine in this otherwise massive and hellish undertaking.
The saddest part of this whole thing is that this exact thing I'm trying to do has been done in another ROM (Uncommon Sense). Mapping the exact same app (I installed the same modified version from Uncommon Sense 1.1) to the exact button I'm aiming for. I know the answer exists, and might not even be that impossible, but thus far, I'm stumped. Further, I'm lead to believe that Rosie.apk isn't the only place I'll need to work; I hear also com.htc.resources?
Honestly, if anyone can help me out, I'd be much obliged. I have put forth a great deal of effort thus far, but I'm realizing that effort without guidance results in a significantly higher ratio of time wasted vs. productive time.
Bump, with clarification.
I don't need or want to change the appearance of Rosie. I just want to change the event triggered when I press it.
I feel that should be at least a bit easier than an extreme cosmetic overhaul. Still beyond me, though.

I have no idea how to change the buttons but I do know a cosmetic overhaul would be a lot easier.

Not sure if this is what ya want but look up app folder in the market
I actually already have App Folders. Now the trick is integrating it into my Rosie launcher. Which is apparently seriously difficult.
Oh well. I'll keep plugging.

I'm pretty sure I can get this working for you homie.
you need to be on a stock DEODEXED ROM. this is a must, I deodexed teh latest Nov OTA with no name completely stock deodexed. here is a link - http://www.multiupload.com/2KS0OS60DR
then what you need to do is either take uncommon sense's ROM rosie.apk or it's framework-res.apk. I think you just need the Rosie.apk, if you pull the rosie.apk from the uncommon sense rom you know has it, and make it into a flashable .zip to flash in recovery. I used this method for mynwarms rosiesettings.apk which allows you to pick the left and right rosie buttons with an easy to use app. its mad kick ass. but hit me up PM we'll get you going.
@kensikora:
The issue is that there are a couple of areas that need to be changed depending on how you want it to look.
The buttons, mapping of buttons and icons are in the Rosie APK. the App Drawer information is also in the Rosie APK (transparent, black, 4 or 5 rows). The look of the dock is in the resources (transparent, button look, traditional arc or straight line, ETC).
I am sorry if I missed this, but could you please let me know EXACTLY what you are looking for:
This is what I have currently:
Left Button - Phone
Middle Button - All Apps
Right Button - Google Voice
The dock it a traditional Rosie that is Semi transparent.
It is possible to create a flashable zip for the Rosie only that will assign your button locations BUT will take on the look of what ever ROM you flash.
EDIT: re-read 1st post. I belive I suggested you check out the EVO thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797688
if anyone can set up that center button to go where you want, he can.
The only change I really want to make is to have the center button open a modified version of App Folders instead of the usual all apps drawer, exactly how it works in Uncommon Sense.
I just really want to be able to try different ROMs instead of being tied to Uncommon Sense based solely on Rosie mods.

Is there any rom or flashable zip to change the phone app to something nicer?
I absolutely hate the stock answer screen, it annoys me that sometimes I can't pull the slider or it let's go of it. not to mention the dialer, it looks so crappy :/
Right now I'm on MIUI and the answer screen is absolutely perfect, but I'd like to get back on samsung fw with few mods, and this keeps me from doing that.

You can find some dialer apps on the market by searching for "dialer": https://market.android.com/search?q=dialer&so=1&c=apps
hate the people who only read briefly through the topic, I'm mostly annoyed by the answer screen and I'd like the dialer to be default, there are few roms that have changed dialer that's why I asked, but I'd like to know about the answer sliders also.

There is no way to change those. Only way is some themes that theme the sliders as well (but in the end, they're still sliders)

....need the same too!!
well the miui phone app is great, answer screen has a drag down slider, it's so much more confortable to use it.
I don't know.. maybe it's a problem with vertical drag or something, on miui you can also change lockscreen to be iphone style, it looks exactly, but if I drag the arrow it's glitchy while the drag down slider works flawlessly.
so, does the samsung fw support changing the answer screen to something else?

i have the EXACT same problem. also trying to find a other phone.apk, setting the home button as answer is NOT a solution.
Hanger you guys looked at Widgetlocker in the market, it will change the lock screen and answering sliders...
WidgetLocker does not change anything else than the lock screen.

I would love to know if there is any way to change the background behind the virtual keys from black to something else. I've looked through the systemUI.apk and I don't see where I would do that.

Bump, if you can find this then possibly the image could be transparent then the full screens display can be viewed.
You know, I didn't think of that but that would be epic. Very epic.

It should be easy to change the icons/background. I was thinking about replacing these icons with some better ones as I don't really like black/grey theme, but couldn't find any nice ones (wasn't looking too hard either...)
You could check out my thread and if there isn't one over there you like you could request something ill be working on new ones on Monday evening

Its pretty easy to change the backgrounds really. As the thread above states, just drag out the ic_sysbar_highlight.png button. Open it in Photoshop, add the desired image fine you want, set it to the back and allign, save it, put it back in the res\Drawable-xhdpi folder and flash. There ya go.
That only changes the button press right? Instead of the blue circle when you press a virtual key you get an image? Because that's what the file they replace with the mod is for.

a few questions how exactly would one go about getting the beats mod a xloud to work exactly i know normally with beats a icon would appear in the top of the screen and this would indicate that you have some sort of beats codecs working as i have flashed the mod and do not exactly know how to go about getting this to work nor do i see a xloud app in my app draw..
can someone make a zip or know of a app in market where the color can be changed to any color in the status bar and add a battery bar?
any chances of this getting tweeks built in such as sd readahead and cache dump from within the tweeks etc?
also can not figure out how to make the small icons on the four corners in the home page for example on one of the pictures it looks like there are like four diffrent apps short cuts in each corner.. any help would be greatly appreciated love this rom and very stable and speedy i think i found my everyday rom....
ugh now time to go cut the damn lawn..

Just drag the icon of the app you want in there into it. Each corner bubble will hold 4 apps each. Pretty cool rom. I've been loving what Diablo has done with it.
On the beats thing, no clue.

I would like to ask if any forum members have the knowledge or ability to modify the current set of toggles in the notifications bar so that they do not scroll when you first pull down the bar. It may be a minor annoyance, but the precious few seconds i waste by clicking on mobile data whilst waiting for it to scroll across to Wi-Fi is a killer

How about just change the toggles order? The scroll is actually kind of cool to me.
You can follow guide here to change the toggles order. Or you can just flash my theme, I do got one theme which is same stock look, just only change the order.
Unfortunately I don't want to just rearrange the icons and would like to stop the scrolling animation all together.
(Bump)
If you flash a 15 Toggle mod it will disable the automatic scrolling of the notification items.
If you are on a deodexed LF6, here are two options for you:
Stock look
Darker look

In on omega 6.0 based on LF2 will it still work? Or are they that specific to version ?
You know what, I find the same thing annoying. Would love to disable it as well.
I'm running a rooted stock. Don't wanna change the order, I like the look of the stock toggles, so not really interested in changing them. Just want the damned scrolling to stop!!!
Here i thought I was going to be the only one annoyed by this. Would definitely love a way to just get it to load up at the first 5 without having to animate the little scrollback
This scrolling is the first thing i noticed and it annoyed me quite a bit. Keep hitting the wrong button while trying to enable Wifi as used to the quick press on the S2.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
If not, I think there's a gap for an app!

if you're really bothered and this is a real issue for you - Omega 7.1 does NOT scroll the toggles when pulling down the notification bar.
edit: didn't read above properly... seems this is because of the 15 toggles mod.

use the 15 toggles, then it won't scroll.
Could I use that on the stock rom?

OMG, i'm irritated by this same problem, when i pull down the notification bar just to activate/deactivate mobile data, it starts scrolling to the left. Anyone found a way to disable it without rooting

No not really. Aside from custom roms and the 15 toggle thing. But I don't want to do either. I've just been living with it!
Really annoying though.
