[Q] Espire Launcher Tweak/Theme - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently using Espier launcher which is great but the only problem i have with it is that some icons just are plain ugly. I tried my hardest, sat down and for the last two days I have been trying to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449283
I just couldn't do it right I don't know what I was doing wrong but something didn't work. It might help too if the above guides screenshots worked instead of saying 404. I was hoping maybe someone with a little more knowledge of .xml editing could either tell me what I am doing wrong or do it for me.
If anyone wanted to do it the launcher.apk can be found here:
http://espier.org/download/EspierLauncher.apk
And the icons that I am trying to add can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?a2z4zqqcllhmzcr
I wanted to be able to have:
~Music icon for Google Play Music
~Video icon for Google Play Movies
~iBooks icon for Google Play Books
~Calendar icon for stock AOKP Calendar
~Weather icon for Google News and Weather application
~Photo icon for Stock AOKP Gallery
~iFile icon for File Expert
~Safari icon for Espire Browser
~All the other icons are self explanatory (i.e. Youtube = Youtube, Twitter = Twitter, Facebook = Facebook)
Thank You so much in advance to anyone that would be able to help me with this!

Give me a week or two and I will try it. I should be able to do it, but time is always getting in the way, sorry bro.

WOW!! That was really fast! and don't apologize for doing me a favor. It can take as long as it needs to. I understand that you have a life and by no means do I want you to drop everything to do this. Take your time and Thank You so much

No problem!!! I just try my best to help out the community. Unfortunately ai don't have an Epic anymore, I have another android phone but I will post the themed apk before I test it or maybe I will get the chance to who knows.
If you want me to theme any other apps let me know and I'll get to it!

I know this sounds stupid but, I don't have enough time on my hands where I can do this and make sure it works. The free time I have I am probably whittling or just adventuring outside or doing something I enjoy doing. I hope you understand,
But what sounds stupid is that I am willing to make a video on how to do it, if that's okay with you. If it is I will get off my lap top and go on my desktop, open up camtasia, record it, upload it to youtube, and put a link here.
You can post a thread saying that this is a general tutorial on themeing apps and you can use my video just so we don't have more posts like this, and maybe it'll be a sticky.
My apologies again! And yes I am saying sorry because I shouldn't have accepted a duty I am not able to fulfill. I know it looks weird having me typed all this, but its a lot easier than going through the folders and changing them.
I am not abstaining from doing it, I enjoy working on shtuffs for these phones and all, but I just have other things to do and other things I enjoy more.
I hope you understand where I am coming from. Video will be made by the weekend hopefully.

Although my hands are full ill pick this up just for the sake of helping. Idk what I can cook up but I'll let you know

This launcher looks like a Chinese version of an I phone. What rom are you on. Have you tried miui roms I have some tike tomorrow I can look into this. I'm not as awesome as Travis is at this but. If I can help. Then I am willing.

-+-FOR HERO-+- Hero Clocks & Customized Widgets TO-GO [WIP]

I wanted to make a thread for all people with ideas and creativity, similiar to the J & B keyboard thread... plus original Hero Clock thread is a little long.
reason is to have a place where you can ADB push or load up different colored widgets.
Now this is an early early stage of this thread and I plan to collab where possible... so please PM me for any help or ideas etc..
Im not the best at this, but im creative, so hopefully I can catch a few people's eye's (as my signature has) and let's get to it.
I have the PSD files of these clocks, you can open them in Photoshop or ImageReady.. I could use some help packing the clocks if people want them..
feel free to add your own customized widgets, clocks ,etc.. whatever is posted will be linked from the home page, for organization purposes.
HERO Clock:
SEE ATTACHMENTS
Okay job with those clocks! ... I'm good with photoshop(not pro yet but still)... and If you want any clocks I can make some... of course... you can butter me up with some $$$ ;D... I need to get a Paypal... does anyone know a loophole so a 16 year old can get a paypal?!? lol... I'll work on a clock and I'll post it up in a while... brb
whoa they look goood =D
thanx been tryna spread the word around about this possiblity... maybe itll open up some more.. i hope to work with the scripters of the non-rosie clocks to maybe incorporate some type of way to swap these in and out of HERO builds...

Ok children. Be nice. Besides the search option sucks sometimes. It doesnt really narrow down things. Im pretty sure he typed htc music and got all these themes pop up as a result. But yea. Before posting a question. Ur gonna need to scroll and search thoroughly. unfortunately ur answer might be and ive experience it. The last result of the last page.
my apologizies
I did search and as you said, theme after theme, mostly hero roms. So thank you and I do appreciate your help!!!!

htc clock widget

ok so im trying to figure out how to edit the htc clock widget to open a different clock like desk clock. can this be done?
def's uncommon rom is the only one that i know of that does it. good luck getting him to tell you how. def is one of my favorite dev, i'm not calling him out. all the dev keep there findings to them selves really.
question... how come people don't share there tweeks and hacks anymore?
i remember full threads on reg edits, tweeks, and hacks, that people would share with the world. I actually had threads where i would take requests, and cab them up for people to be able to install easily.
big difference between the WM day to the current droid days.

^be very nice if this were the case. As fully customisable, unique rom, suited to your needs.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using XDA App
i sent a pm to the owner of the rom and i am awaiting a reply back. im not trying to take credit for something i just dont want to have to run beautiful widgets when i spent all the time on making custom flip clocks.

That is a very ****-headed thing to say. I am MORE than willing to help anyone out with reproducing ANY of my mods. I keep nothing secret, and I literally JUST replied to the OP's PM, just before reading your completely asinine comment. My PM box is FULL of questions AND answers with guidance on duplicating mods. Truth be told, I do not POST these modifications and how-to in their own threads for one reason only. I do not have the time to support them.
ok so i can find where the activity is and change it but when i push to the phone nothing changes...

Def, I was not trying to be a **** head and don't see that my post directed anything negative towards you. I was iust stating that a few years ago, members in the Windows mobile forums shared everything. Infact, there were http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/windows-mobile-hacks-tweaks/ forums just for regedits and hacks. I don't find that on the 2010 Android forums.
I didnt mention the guy who posted a zip file that was able to put the 6 bar signal meter in the task bar. He clearly stated that he pulled it out of your Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8758884&postcount=22 Then your reply saying something about you not liking what he did. To me that said the Android developers didn't want the secret out of the bag. It's not just you. I have ran quite a few roms and really liked certain parts, but didn't keep it for the fact that I didn't like other parts. I have searched for ways to get just the good hacks and tweeks, but there just not there.
For the record..... I am sorry Def. I was not saying that your bad for not posting everything you do. I was just trying to say that there's a good chance he will not get the information he seeks. That's just the way Android forums are going these days.
here is a couple thing i would like to add to my roms, but cant find information on them. correct me if i'm wrong, but people just dont share this stuff.
1. 6 bar signal
2. htc clock widget launching vanilla clock
3. app drawer 5 icons wide,
4. battery percentage in battery icon
yes, def's roms have all of these. that is why i run his rom. at least until he bans me from his roms due to this thread.

Well I would like to say he got me started and I found where the attribute is for opening world clock and I have changed it to deskclock but I think I'm doing something wrong with the apk tool because when I push it to the phone and launch it still opens world clock but in the files its self it says deskclock. I wish I knew more about the Android language but sadly I don't and I'm going to keep trying.

i am am really glad to see people like def who is trying to help others instead of just posting there roms.
I am 38 years old, married with 4 kids. i have been on the forums for a long time and know what and how they work. i was not trying to start anything, i love helping people and learning. that is why i like the forums.
i have made 2 apps for windows mobile and never thought of charging for them. one of the apps had over 20,000 downloads. my favorite thing to do was help people learn to make there own.
back on topic....
i would really like to have a zip to flash this htc clock mod. it is one of my favorite parts of def's uncommon rom. i dont have the time anymore to learn a lot of coding. at least i don't think so. kind of new to android so i dont know if it's easy or not. flashing zip files is easy. lol.

Icons

OK, I have a small offer for someone who can help me out. I need someone who knows about icons and changing theme, or someone who has a variety of icons already that can share with me. I am looking for someone who knows how to explain this and can help me change icons and yadda yadda.
Send me a PM if you can help me out and we will be communicating through gtalk. It will only be a small thing maybe on a weekend day where you can help. I would really appreciate it and will donate $10 for your help. Thanks.

The previous thread was closed by the moderator. I contacted him but he didn't answer. Though this isn't my work, i uploaded it to google docs. I hope it is reachable to everyone. If it isn't please suggest an other way. Download the attachments zip if you can see it. I repeat this has nothing to do with btunes, it has coverflow and it works pretty well though it can be more stable. Hope someone can improve it...

Why not just post some screenshots and attach the APK to the forum like everybody else?
Did you seek permission from the developer of this mystery APK before your attempts to post it? If not, that's also a rules violation.

So now that everyting is cleared i want to tell some people to stop acting like they own the forum. We are not all developers and we don't want to be. I think the purpose of this forum is sharing information. We don't want all to mislead, take advantage of you or steal your work. Stop being so suspicious
eurgh, if I wanted an iPhone, I'd shoot myself.

You're sharing something you don't have permission to share, since you didn't even know where it came from. This is against the rules.
One of the people you're complaining about is a forum moderator.

Me too, but for three years now i ve been using android phones, i 've never seen a music player with decent graphics. Maybe Uber music but this is a clone of wp7 player too. Android lacks a player where you can browse album art smoothly without thinking you own a low end phone. This is the first time i can see my music library looking good
