[Q] I want my phone my way - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First off, thanks for any help. That being said, I have very little experience with modding, and I would like to not root my phone and lose the ota update capabilities, but I want to customize my phone. I have a tbolt that I have done the stock ruu radio update on, and a droid x that it replaced. I recently did the manual gingerbread update on the x and I love it. My question is can someone help me make my launcher(rosie) look and work like this one on my thunderbolt?

you cant make rosie look like that but you can find out what launcher that is and install it on your thunderbolt. im sure someone else will be able to tell you what launcher that is if you dont already know.as far as not wanting to root because you cant get ota updates, i wouldnt let that hold you back. you will most like be able to get these updates several weeks before they are released as ota updates

that is the android version 2.3.3, system version 4.5.588.MB810.Verizon.en.US Luancher.

There isn't a lot of theming options without rooting. And that is the Moto(Ninja)blur launcher that Motorola makes, and I highly doubt it can be ported, or that anyone would work on it honestly. I know the new blur is nice, but it's proprietary to Motorola phones. Even if it was hacked to work on an HTC phone there is a 95% chance that you would have to be rooted to be able to use it.
TL;DR
No

If you want a stock look like that, really you are best off rooting and flashing a 'senseless' rom for the immediate future, or an AOSP like CM7 when it is ready to be a daily driver.
Without rooting, basically use either ADW or launcherpro to achieve similar looks. I've used both and pretty similar capabilities in the end.

1. Install ADW, install Moto Blur theme.
2. customize the dock to look like seen above.
3. google "droid x wallpaper", set as wallpaper.
ta-da.
While it won't be the same it'll be pretty damn close. Let's be honest though, no one likes blur. It's a crappy skin, it makes touchwiz look awesome. So, no one is going to waste time porting it.
edit: yay! 400th post!

+1 adw launcher would be your best bet, this coming from a former adw user, current launcher pro user, i think adw droid x/blur skin would give you the closest feel.
i would root if i were you. it has about a million advantages and makes your phone far more customizable.

Thanks for the input guys, but to be clear, all I'm interested in off that screen is the launcher bar. looks and actions. that is just a generic screenshot. I'm curently trying launcher pro and its ok.

i understand that. like i said. adw launcher with the droid x/blur skin will give you the closest feel to your old droid x
