Someone can correct me if Im wrong but I am pretty sure Rosie is only referring to the bottom bar in Sense UI. Rosie is the bottom bar from HTC Espresso UI.

Sense = Rosie, I think Rosie was the project code name.
if I'M not mistaken Rosie.apk is the file where most of the SenseUI stuff is kept..its kinda funny how that works..it's like the apk file for Market is called "Vending"..
one difference I noticed is that SenseUI is basically the name for the overall UI whereas Rosie (the application file) can be customized to include varying wallpapers, widgets, n home screen bar modifications

Correct sir. Rosie is the application filename. It is Sense and Sense is Rosie. It's just like Home++ or any other home replacement. It's just more tightly integrated into the OS with the HTC framework. But yes, it is the application filename.
I'm somewhat new to the UI customizing and need some help to get the desired effect, here's what i want to do, i want to keep the HTC Sense all contacts page, (only cause the functionality is amazing) the htc video and music player, the htc calender, and the HTC settings page (but for it to be set up like the manila windows settings), but i want the home screen to be the Manila Win6.5 screen. any and all help will be appreciated.

I think you're getting the terms confused a little there (which is understandable with this stuff). Manila is just the name for the behind-the-scenes elements of what you know as Sense, which runs on top of WM.
Unfortunately, all of the items you mentioned there are part of Sense, and while you can turn off most of the other tabs you don't want, you can't turn off the home tab without turning Sense off altogether...and when you do that, you then can't access any of the other Sense functions (vid/music players, calendar, settings, etc).
Okay, so is there and tweaks for WM that allow me to get the functionality like the mentioned features of the sense UI? or any that are better, cause as much as i love the SPB stuff, my dad uses it and i just wanna be different...or are there any tweaks for the sense UI that i can use to get what i want? because i kinda want plain WM homepage, but have the links on the homepage go to the parts of the sense UI? (i'll be happy to clarify anything i just said...

I noticed when I used the standard (titanium windows mobile) when I clicked on a few things they would go to the sence version of it but I dont think you can have both...search for titanium wm 6.5 themes and you might find something you like. Sense and SPB mobile shell are way different. Install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483 in my opinion much nicer than SPB mobile and you can still use all your sense icons...search it on youtube for demos
I do like that one, and i know sense and SPB are real different, my dad uses it but i dont want to. D: BTW i got c0okies home tab that toreone suggested, and I LOVE IT! it gives me the freedom to customize it the way i want it, AND it keeps the functionality and the appearance of HTC sense. I <3 xda...

It's all clear, but that's the thing...aside from the messaging client in this build, there's no way to access the sense modules unless sense is running. And when sense is running, you can't access either the standard WM today screen, or the Titanium home screen (the new version of stock WM UI, also built in to your HD2).
Your next option would probably be to just find a 3rd-party app for each of the functions you mentioned...there's plenty of choices in each category, with the exception of the settings. For those, it's either the stock WM settings, or the sense settings, and it sounds like what you're asking for is kind of a hybrid of the two. Since the WM settings are available at the root of the start menu (if you don't have them there when you turn sense off, that can be added), that would be the easiest way to go with that. To find your options for media players and calendars, just do a search on the whole of the xda forums and you'll find a bunch. I don't know much about the calendar apps, but the most common media players in use around here include:
-nitrogen
-coreplayer/tcpmp
-kinoma
-pocket player
EDIT: in the time it took me to write all that, I see now that you've taken toreone's advice and found the joy of CHT...so it's probably a non-issue now anyways
DELETE: double post
haha! sorry, Is there a way to change the top bar (I forgot what it was called), cause the one that it currently has it a bit to basic for me. xD

It's called the taskbar, and the one at the bottom where the soft buttons are is just called the softkey bar, just fyi
You can change the color and style of both of those with something like what you'll find in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5807605&postcount=1
Now, if what you want to change is the notification icon set that appears on the taskbar, there's a bunch of different options for that. I personally use and love dinik's anastasia set, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679518
I've also used and liked brian's gfreek edition taskbar set, and the phoenix edition B&W taskbar set, at the links below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520547
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602295
So could i use the taskbar and softkey bar color changer along with the icon sets?

yes, those elements aren't interdependent like that. most any visual part of sense can be changed independently of the others...but not all though
Okay, cool, hmn... is there a tweak that will getrid of the t-mo startup animation but keep the windows one... found!

No problem! That's why this place exists, and also what's so great about it. Just pay it forward when you get the chance someday
hi!
currently i'm using mattc1.6b-build. everything i need seems to be working fine
but the only thing i don't like is the look of the standard sense ui. i mean the grey, bended bottom bar with the buttons for the applauncher, "+" and phone, also the ugly lockscreen
using froyostone before, i know the look can be customized
i use sense because of the htc widgets (stocks, music...), i really like them. the alternative might be using htc widget with standard android, but is this possible?
thank you very much for your answers and tipps
Can i get normal icons for TripNMIUI.
I love the theme but i don't like the icons and launcher.
I use different launcher but icons don't look good in that.
So is there any icon pack with normal icons for this ROM ?

Tons! Try the android 2.3 icon set/theme
Unfortunately, the 2.3 Icons are smaller than the regular icons and look weird on the regular launchers like Zeam. I would honestly love to know a solution to this problem as well due to the good battery life on MIUI.

I just tried and they were bigger than normal for me... Are you sure you're using the right 2.3 theme?
How to remove lockscreen shortcuts in Sense 3.0?
--
HTC Desire
not possible, afaik...
Certainly is possible. I just did it on the Sensation. Look over there under theme and apps for a write up I found.
I don't understand... Would You explain?
A link to the sensation forum plzz
This thread is here
is it possible to change the location/icon of the shortcut?
looks like its much easier than I though, I was looking into editing the M10s and all that..... wow talk about overcomplicating the matter
You can install a Sense 3.5 ROM and there is an option in Personalize menu to disable LockSceen icons
