WHAT THIS GUIDE IS FOR:
-How to change icons in espier launcher
-How to change page indicators
-How to change dock
-How to change notification bubble
-How to add custom icons (for apps not natively themed by espier launcher) RECENTLY EDITED
-How to install onto phone
A. Preliminary Steps:
1. Install apktool http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
2. Create a directory called Espier launcher mod
3. Download Espier launcher http://dl.free.fr/pjgXgBDEb and rename to launcher.apk
4. Place Espier Launcher into that directory.
5. Open terminal.
6. Change terminal directory to your Espier launcher mod folder.
E.G. I ran this:
Code:
cd /home/gaurav/Desktop/Espier launcher mod
7. Decompile the apk.
Code:
apktool d launcher.apk
B. Changing basic icons.
**UPDATE**
Now, to prevent icons from being edited (in a bad way) by Espier Launcher, download this icon and place it in drawable-(h/m/l)dpi. This is crucial to prevent your icons from getting a weird white glow around them!
1. Open res/drawable-(hdpi/ldpi/mdpi/xhdpi) *depending on what screen size your phone is. I have an mdpi so i will go into drawble-mdpi
2. Change the desired icon
For example, the file
Code:
ic_com_android_camera_preparecamera.png
can be replaced by an image of the same (or similar) size. when you're done, it should look like:
http://uppix.net/4/1/e/c43d8a7bc3e1fe2aa29cd3792dbe5.png
3. Refer to Section G
C. Changing page indicators
1. Open res/drawable-mdpi
2. Find the file:
Code:
ic_screen_level_focus.png
ic_screen_level_normal.png
3. Replace these two files with desired ones
4. Open res/drawable-hdpi
5. Replace these files with desired images.
Code:
ic_screen_level_focus
ic_screen_level_normal.png
ic_screen_level_search_focus.png
ic_screen_level_search_normal.png
ic_screen_level_widget_focus.png
ic_screen_level_widget_normal.png
6. Refer to Section G.
D. How to change dock
1. Navigate to res/drawable-mdpi (in my case)
2. Find file called
Code:
toolbar.png
3. Replace with desired (make sure the dock image is correct size for your phone)
4. Refer to Section G.
E. How to change notification bubble.
1. Open res/drawable-mdpi
2. Find and replace with desired image
Code:
icon_shuzi1.png
3. Refer to Section G.
F. How to add custom icons
*Warning* This section is a lot more confusing. Please read carefully. *Warning*
1. Navigate to /res/values/arrays.xml
2. Now, it gets tricky.
3. Go this website http://activities.droidicon.com/
4. Search for an app. It should look like this:
Screenshot http://uppix.net/0/9/8/4f7817e4c48f07662595e19ec72e7.png
5. Now, in arrays.xml, scroll down until you see this type of coding
Screenshot http://uppix.net/8/0/e/a9cc14bdf96ecae1dbc6e3a31eed4.png
6. Get to the end of that "chunk" of xml.
7. Let's say we're theming the facebook app. So we add this to xml. (and fill it out with info)
Code:
<item>ACTIVITY_OF_APP</item>
<item>DESCRIPTIVE_ACTIVITY_OF_APP</item>
<item>@drawable/NAME_OF_APP</item>
For example:
Code:
<item>com.facebook.katana</item>
<item>com.facebook.katana.LoginActivity</item>
<item>@drawable/facebook</item>
You get the first line of info like this:
Screenshot http://uppix.net/8/0/e/a9cc14bdf96ecae1dbc6e3a31eed4.png
and the second:
Screenshot http://uppix.net/7/b/0/cb6a915df97299a2832be59e39841.png
in that third line of that xml we add (@drawable/NAME_OF_APP), you can name your app anything you want. i made it "facebook" in this case.
8. Save and exit.
9. Find a desired image for your application (in this case facebook).
10. Rename it to "NAME_OF_APP.png" in this case, "facebook.png"
11. Drop that file into drawable/mdpi
12. Repeat steps 1-11 for as many applications as you want to theme.
13. Refer to Section G.
G. How to install on your phone
1. First, save and close everything you're working on.
2. Open your terminal, and change its directory to the "espier launcher mod" folder
3. Type in
Code:
apktool b 'PATH_TO/espier launcher mod' 1.apk
4. Take that 1.apk, and sign it, using a program like ApkSigner http://android-softwares.blogspot.com/2011/08/apksigner-v04-sign-unsigned-android-apk.html
5. Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
6. Mount it as a mass storage device.
7. Transfer that signed.apk to the root of your sdcard.
8. Now on your phone, uninstall any current version of EspierLauncher you may have.
9. Then, using a file manager, install the signed.apk from your sdcard.
This too, should be in themes n apps...

The sorce
Can you count how many times you created a drawable for your app?
The answer is probably NO.
You opened your favorite image-editing software, designed a beautiful drawable, saved, and now of course, there's the simple but annoying thing, of resizing the drawable to fit every density.
No more! Android Drawable Resizer, replaces you in the last annoying part.
All you have to do, is to choose a drawable, tell the software which density does it belong to, choose the the res folder, and press Go!. The software will know how and where to place each resized drawable, with the correct name.
Requirements:
If you don't have a .NET Framework installed, download and install this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/aa496123
Instructions:
1. Download the zip file.
2. Extract it including the .dll file.
3. Run the .exe file.
*Note: Both files need to be in the same place in order to activate the program!
4. Choose the source drawable density
5. Choose the drawable you want to resize
6. Choose which densities you want to export to
7. Choose mode: Auto placing, and choosing the res folder as a destination directory OR Manual placing, and choosing any folder as a destination. all the selected densities will export there.
8. Press Go!
9. Enjoy!

Hello Guys!
So as you know on some roms the Walkman key doesn't work, and some people feel frustrated that the fix for it doesn't work or has no effect. So they are stuck with a dead Walkman key.
Now, I have my own way of getting the Walkman key to work on each Rom if it doesn't work. And now I will share the way to all you LwW Users!
--Preparations & Requirements--
-A LwW Phone :silly:
-Root Explorer (Can be found on the web)
-DreamKeys (can be found on BlackMart Alpha)
Or Here
www.netoclub.com/m/files/view/1356500826
-Have To Be Rooted
That's all!
Note: Screenshots will not be provided but I will try to give enough detail as possible.
1) Open Root Explorer and navigate to /system -> /usr -> /keylayout and open pm8058-keypad.kl with the text editor
2) Find the lines ' #WALKMAN Key
key 200 VENDOR_1
Note: could not say 'Vendor_1' could be anything. This was just a example
3) Rename the 'VENDOR_1' To 'CALL' Make sure it is aligned properly with each row And column.
4) Move Along the lines of 'CALL' and type 'WAKE_DROPPED' (should also be aligned)
5) Save and Exit with the changes and install Dreamkeys, open it and click 'setup cal button'
6) Tick the box 'Launch>> Open Application' and 'select an application' find the preferred music app and save your changes when exiting the app.
7) Reboot! Once rebooted click the Walkman key and a dialog box should popup. Tick the box and choose Dreamkeys and then the music app should open!
Voila! You now have a working Walkman key! Thank me if this guide worked for you and leave your comments

I found this mod a while back and it still works. Credit to whoever found it, I'm just sharing.
"First, you need root access and a file manager (I use Root Explorer, as I've found it works the best consistently)
-Open up your file manager, in this case it's Root Explorer
-Enable R/W at the top (cannot be R/O)
-Go to /system/csc/feature.xml (hold down on feature.xml and open in text editor)
-Scroll down to the end (on my phone, the line we are looking for was the third or fourth from the bottom)
-Find the line that looks like this:
<Cscfeature_Launcher_DisabledPageRotation>true</
-Change "true" to "false" (without quotes). It should now read:
<Cscfeature_Launcher_DisabledPageRotation>false</
-Save changes and reboot
-Profit"
