[Q] Can someone please make a metamorph of Manup's Alt Rosie?

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.

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...

(Q) transparent notification pull down bar

Hi guys! I am having some trouble themeing this. I am familiar with transparency as I have done the status bar itself, and I did the background for the pull down bar transparent but it shows up black.. I've searched hi and low (I'm sure I'm doing something wrong not to find the answer, and I'm sorry for this but I really would like to know how to do this). Is there an edit I need to do to an xml file or something I'm not familiar with XML what so ever but if anyone could help me out in anyway guide me in the right direction or whatever that would be very great and I'd be very appreciative!, thanks guys

[REQ] Transition Animations for Themes

Hey guys, just curious if we could get some custom transition animations cooked into the themes made. Now that all our wonderful members are making these amazing themes I have a hard time choosing which theme I want to use so I can't just post this on one thread
I know MysteryEmotionz used some in his theme, and back when the gingerbread theme was compatible there was fly in and transition. Just wondering if this would be a possibility. Thanks in advance
Yes, I know what you're talking about. Amosher's FlyIn zip was the ****. I will see if it still works and if not we'll have to see about porting it with the help of the community. Will report later.
Edit: I downloaded the FlyIn.zip. I think all it is, is the framework-res.apk:/res/anim/*.xml files. If we decompile these and compile them back into our themes it should work, not holding my breathe though lol.
I will try it and let everyone know.

[DEV] Help a new chef with CRT animations?

Any of these super chefs want to give us a definitive guide on how to add the CRT animations to a ROM?
I am more than comfortable with decompiling and modifying XMLs, but it would be nice to know where i am going.
Think of it this way... Whenever anyone else asks you about the animations, you can just link them to this thread and be done with it.
And yes, i have searched and there isnt much good information out there.
Even better - any way someone can create a flashable zip to add these to any rom? Now that devs are baking them into their roms,i dont see why it wouldn't be possible!

Try this flashable zip BUT before you go and do all of this, NANDROID backup your ROM......ONCE AGAIN, BACKUP your ROM.....because this is 50/50, it might work, I just tried it on sense 2.2 and it works like a champ!
Also, don't just flash it and NEVER come on here again....let me know if it does or doesn't because if it does then I'll start up a thread so others can use it....

[Rom] Geo411m Stock Jellybean 4.1.1 with 360 home screen

This is 100% stock, rooted Jelly Bean I've made for myself and thought I would share. Screenshots below are what the default home screen look like.
Contains latest su, busybox, nano and bash binaries.
360 Degree Stock Launcher
360 Stock Lockscreen
Battery %
Super Power Menu by djmcnz
New Default Live Sense Wallpaper by evilisto
Phase Beam Classic Live Wallpaper by evilisto
New Default Home screen Layout
Tweaks to Framework to speed up transitions a bit and make things a bit more smooth.
Download Link
Here's just the Rotating Homescreen and Lockscreen v1 (old) for those that don't want everything else.
Rotating Homescreen and Lockscreen v2 (fixes a few issues and adds rotation lock by lichti1901 to notification area)
Reserve
That looks very nice! What are your plans moving forward with the ROM? Like theme's and other customizations. I might give it a shot one of these days!
Awesome!!! Thanks a lot bro

I have a question, if this is a stock rom, why didnt you simply made a theme for stock rom ? This would save a lot of people time for download and you for file managing.
Is there anyway to just get the rotating launcher and lockscreen?

I did but who cares right? Couldn't even take the time to answer a couple simple questions. I moved back to my preferred ROM anyhow. Rotating lockscreen does nothing for me. Like ZeroXtreme said, just make a mod of the 360 stuff and don't bother with the ROM there's already enough stock ROMS.

Otherwise cut the crap.
Respect is a forum rule. Answering questions is not.
If you don't get an answer the FIRST time you ask maybe you should make a thread in Q&A
