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?

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 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

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?
PM me and we can chat more.
Uot kitchen is so easy to do. Just upload the needed files and theme it up

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?
Hey, im posting down here cause you guys would probably be the best to ask..
I had a one x (not any more though), now have a nexus 4 and i would like some of the apps - the notes (with widget) and the maps ported to my nexus.. i extracted the apks from the HTC rom but havent been able to install them on the nexus - i tried putting them in system/app as well.. could titanium backup or something work? if so, can someone upload a backup so i can use it?
Hope someone can help me here! Thanks

the answer is simple...u need sense to run any app made for sense..so quit trying..
The apps and widgets require sense framework to be used. I don't think a sense rom exists for the n4.

It's not a quick job, HTC seem to have made changes to the kernel to support their Sense stuff (or to prevent it being ported, depending on how cynical you are).
Come one, come all. Just an area to come to to ask questions about theming the Note III.
Please be courteous and respectful. If you can't answer the question then don't respond.
I will add links to stuff as we see fit and such..

Say if I wanted to theme my stock rooted touchwiz. If I found a theme for the s4 touchwiz, I obviously can't flash it! But if I used a root explorer can I drag and drop replacing the files and reboot? Or would it not work cause or dpi is set at 480p? I just miss themeing! I wish I could make the PCB circuit board theme work on our Note 3!

Sorry to say, no. Here is why sir.
1. S4 is still on android 4.2 based, while Note III is android 4.3 so things will be different.
2. The layout files will be different, which is a big piece.
Dpi wont come into play, becuase they both use xxHdpi images.. so the image part should for most part be fine to drag into Launcher3.apk. Not a guareentee all will be fine.. but should.
My suggestion..
1. If you have Root, have Nova or Apex loaded and make sure works.
2. With one of the above running, you can rename your launcher3.apk
3. I would only drag images from s4 launcher into Note III launcher.
4. Replace luancher apk on Note III change permission, reboot.
5. change back to TW Launcher..
With us just getting Root. You gotta give us a bit to get things going..

You take a huge chance of messing up phone and getting fc's using apk from other carriers N3 stuff. Especially Framework/SystemUI is almost always different by each carrier. They add stuff into those files..

You need to have:
Android SDK
A graphic program like Gimp, Paint.Net, Photoshop
Apktool Manager
Java 6 and/or 7
That would be a start. Then you need to learn how to decompile Android Apk's

This thread is not the right area to request themign to be done, Use the Theme and Apps area fro that please.
The SecLauncher4.apk is the correct apk to decompile to get to labels for the launcher. I am not sure where those are at, haven't themed the Seclauncher since two versions ago..
I might suggest Nova whch will allow you to do things as well.
