Custom Live Wallpaper - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Couldn't find any info on what file/format/or any how to on making my own live wallpaper for my new G SII. Anyone know what video type I need to shoot to start with? Or any info to help me move forward in my search on how to get it done would be much appreciated. I've got the time to figure it out and know other phones have made it happen....

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.

Thanks man i appreciate it. Definitely will look into it this weekend. I only use the mobile app, so I don't go searching around and probably wouldn't have found that.

[Q] Espire Launcher Tweak/Theme

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.

How to change home screen grid size?

Can anyone teach me what I need to edit to change the home screen grid size to fit more apps on the screen? Even if anyone knows of a good thread that discusses how to make these sort of system edits, I'm very interested in learning. I'd like to better understand some of these edits & tweaks so that I can modify the stock ROM to my own liking. Thank you in advance to anyone who may be of assistance!

Anyone know where I can get the PA wallpaper?

So I'm looking for the Paranoid Android wallpaper that they display in the OP here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247014
It's probably in the rom somewhere and i'm too stupid to find it, but if anyone knows where I might find that wallpaper, I would greatly appreciate a link.
