Root Change HTC Rosie

I posted this in a thread but I have a feeling it will get overlooked because it wasn't pertaining to the topic of the thread.

I just flashed NoLimit's Stock Evo rom a few hours ago (if not earlier) and it's a really nice ROM. Everything I like except the rosie or the bottom dockbar. Is there a way to change this to the original rosie or dockbar? Or no? Thanks.

It would not be too difficult to change. Do you have a screen shot of what the current one looks like?

This is what it looks like. I want he original design of the HTC EVO
 
I was reading in the guide about themeing and since I'm using an HTC Sense Gingerbread theme these are the files that are needed for themeing:

/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk

I pulled (just copied to the desktop) these files from Team Nocturnal's Stock 4.67 ROM (same version as NoLimit's). Could it be possible to just replace the ones I have on the current ROM with these to get the other rosie? I'm extremely green in this area. I just thought it would work out. I do have a nandroid of the current setup.

You would change alot more than the rosie. I have a stand alone Rosie in pink. Let me see if i can get a stock gray one together tomorrow for you.
 
Ok. Give this one a shot. Make sure you nandroid first as this is from MikG3.1 so not sure if there is anything in the apk that will conflict. It is made to be stand alone so I think it will work. Let me know either way.

Edit: In all likely hood this will not work. I have talked to another themer and there are alot of differences in the way devs write their roms. Worst case, you need to restore a nandroid to get back to where you are.

Edit-2: Have you tried to pull the Rosie from the previous version with the stock on and push it to your phone? I am not sure how he has it set up but that might be an option. I am 99% sure my sa rosie will not work but you would have to test it to find out for sure

Didn't work, lol. I have the Rosie.apk from the other app but how do I push it to the ROM?

As a long-time themer I'd just like to say be careful about messing with SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk. Those two packages shouldn't be flashed between roms or phones. On HTC devices those two packages contain most of the Sense skin elements ( green buttons, gradients, etc).

Okay, I definitely won't. I'm trying now to set up ADB on my computer just to push the Rosie.apk :/

Make a nandroid before pushing it and then reboot after pushing it.. just to be safe.

Always, but first things first, I have NO idea if I set up ADB or what have you correctly. I have the Android SDK Manager up and running but I don't know what to do from there.

should be all you need. Plug your phone into the pc. open a command prompt. go to the directory you have sdk in(unless you set it up in environment variables then it works anywhere). Type adb devices in the command prompt and see if it lists your device(serial number I believe). If it does, then you should be good.
 
If you have been able to get there great, I can post the steps to push and test it. If not, hold shift then right click on the folder you have adb in(I believe it is the platform-tools folder in sdk). then select open command prompt here. it should bring up a window with a command line listing what directory you are in. type adb devices and hit enter to see if your device is listed

I haven't gotten there yet. Is there another way to push an app instead of ADB? This is very frustrating just setting it up.
