Well guys... I have probably spent WAY too much time on this today (probably about the last 6 hrs or so lol) and don't even know if any of y'all will want it but I think it's pretty cool so I'm gonna post it up.
As you can see from my post above... I DID NOT CREATE any of this, but I'm really good at stealing shit
and figuring out how to make it work hehe!
I have always been a big fan of Sense b/c it just looks slicker than anything out there, ie. weather clock, calendar widget, clock app, music widget, etc... BUT I have always hated that damn launcher dock both in the way it looks and it's layout! I have tried other launchers but none of them look near as polished and slick as Sense. So...
I spent the day figuring out how replace the Sense launcher dock but keeping the Sense launcher
by a lot of research, trial and error, some combining of things, and a whole lotta thievin' ... from the following people:
Thank You to ...
MYN most especially for most of this is his work!
and DG4FREE and thepiecesfit's for adding to Myn's work!
The attached pic will show you what you get with this flashable zip file. It goes very nicely with OMJ's rom and from what I can tell so far has not messed with anything else at all
Included in the flashable zip is: rosie.apk (modded by DG4FREE), rosiesettings.apk (thank you Myn for this awesome app), and com.htc.resources.apk (from thepiecesfit's mod)
You can flash it from either Clockwork or Amon_Ra recovery. I was back and forth b/t both today but if I'm remembering correctly you may have to toggle permissions before flashing when using Amon_Ra. (just try and if it gives you an error just toggle permissions and flash again)
To answer the question before it is asked... will this mess with Aamikam's (finally noticed I have been spelling his screen wrong, sorry Aamikam
) optimization due to replacing theese files? From reading up on this I would have to say that it will to some degree. I can say that theese files vary just slightly in size from Aamikam's optimized ones and that I have not noticed ANY slowing down of my phone since installing
... rosie.apk was 52KB larger, com.htc.resources.apk was 853KB larger, and you didn't have rosiesettings.apk on your phone yet most likely
There were some mods that gave specific icons for the left and right buttons but I decided to go with the generic so that people could use Myn's Rosie Settings app and set them to what they wanted and wouldn't have the wrong cooresponding icon.
Hope y'all like cause I know I do!

*****EDIT*****
What movie is that from and who was it that said... "WHAT AN IDIOT!" ... well that's what I feel like right about now after spending this much of my time on something that was already pretty much done! UGH! Ok so after all that google searching and going through I don't know how many threads or how many trial and errors to combine things from different places I finally come across pretty much exactly what I was looking for linked in Aamikam's thread
... So all i have done to the flashable zip linked in his thread was replace the rosie.apk with the one from DG4FEE which just cropped Myn's launcher dock so it didn't go all the way across the screen (the one in the attached pic). Oh well, I guess I learned some stuff!
The link posted above is now the zip that I ever so slightly modified and will give you all of the stuff mentioned earlier... you may laugh now!
