I do however wish something can be done with market colors as it makes my transparent market not attractive ...

Mytouch 4g / CM7 / Faux Kernel / Minimal Bread Theme
[Android Themes] EggoEspada:
Beautiful theme. Only thing I feel needed changed is the progress bar (present in the browser, music app, etc.). All the rest is minor stuff like system incons.

Otherwise, great work. My main theme as of now. :)

in my device the dial and contact menu background are all blue! please can you put a black background in the phone menu? i cant find what icon it is..
[Android Themes] Paradoxxx:
Nice dude, look perfect and complete really good my Theme, THX :)
[Android Themes] david1171:
After uploading all the work for this yesterday, I realized I could still make a version with transparent widget backgrounds, it would just require a morph to move the modified layout .xml files over and the modified apps to be in /system/app/. I will work on it when I have time and make a separate theme for the transparent widget backgrounds.

I can work on making the status bar fully icons white and the regular ones a dark gray.

I have never used a transparent market, so I'm not sure what all would have to be done to get it to work properly. I recommend decompiling the MinimalBread.apk, delete res/xml/com_android_vending.xml, open colors.xml and delete all the color lines that start with vending, then go into the drawable folders and delete everything that has "com_android_vending_" in the name. After you do that, recompile the .apk, sign it, then uninstall the version you have installed now, then install your modified version. That way the Vending.apk will not be touched by the theme, so anything you have done to your Vending.apk will be left alone.

Whenever I was adding progress_horizontal.xml to the theme, it would cause the now playing screen in the music player to force close, I know it is that exact file because I removed every call to the music app from the theme and it still force closed, then removing the .xml but leaving all the music edits worked fine. That is why there is the morph in the OP that themes the progress_horizontal.xml along with other things that the theme engine is not capable of for the time being.

I do not know what you are referencing. Can you take a screen shot?
[Android Themes] oppip93:
doesnt matter i replace some icon and have done! but thank you anyway :)
[Android Themes] david1171:
Updated the OP with more info and downloads.
[Android Themes] bobtentpeg:
Awesome, twas just about to start building a themeengine port from your source this evening when I saw this.
[Android Themes] LuffyPSP:
Nice one mate. glad you moved to this one. hard to apply updates from you on Minimalist since its on major release only, and i'm using nightlies.

great job as always!
[Android Themes] david1171:
I have put MinimalBread in the market now. I will not put MinimalistBread in the market since everything needed for it to function properly cannot be included in the theme engine. There is a free and donate version of MinimalBread but both are the exact same except for the package name.
[Android Themes] h9290:
i love your work ! been using it since your old thread and then moved to this, i use your theme plus center clock and the lock screen icons plus the Animations "by rover.prince" on your old thread

is there a chance to integrate the animation into the theme engine Minimalbread ? plus the lock screen ? it will save the hassle of applying the morphs after the theme.

the animations worked fine till the latest CM7 build, they don't work with CM7.1 anymore
[Android Themes] david1171:
I know that the lockscreen isn't supported with the theme chooser, and the last I heard, animations weren't supported either.

Someone once asked me about the animations when they quit working, and all that it took to getting them working again was deleting the folder from the AndroidThemes folder on your sdcard, redownload the morph, and try reapplying it.

If the animations have quit working due to compatibility issues, I'm not sure what would be required to fix them since I've never worked with animations.
[Android Themes] MaXAiRO:
David, what about battery icon with battery percentage? I 've already asked you to do it in the past. Don't you have any plans? And after applying the morph do the sliders in lockscreen become invisible or is it just me?
[Android Themes] h9290:
I'm using http://bit.ly/dVj33T lock screen icons from davids old thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=912877

the lock screen becomes visible and i get the white icons

about the battery percentage, I'm not sure but i usually upgrade the ROM without a wipe, but it shows everytime
[Android Themes] david1171:
The first file linked above will give you lockscreen tabs and icons, it needs to be applied after the MinimalBread_Morph for it to work.

The second file is taken from the bottom of the OP where there is a whole section about modding the theme to your liking. You can use that file and the instructions in that part of the OP to get battery percent icons. It has to be done with every update though, one reason I try to get to keep updates to no more than 2 times a week (coupled with the fact that I 99% of the time only release updates when I don't have work that day). I don't like the way it looks enough to merge it with the theme, so that is why it's done that way.
[Android Themes] sugar 7:
thanks for reply

I have geniewidget in system app ...can apply it with root explorer ?

I try to apply apk geniewidget with root explo but doesn t work...
[Android Themes] BaBo_FiSH:
I finally moved from a Nightly CM7 to CM7.0.2.1 and the first thing i did is come looking for Minimal.

This was my firs time using the Theme Chooser / MetaMorph. I got the theme downloaded and installed. it replaced my notification area and most of my other UI elements so I assume that worked fine. I noticed the lock screen didn't change so I kept reading, got MetaMorph and downloaded ht tp://bit.ly/lfxJMU

When i went to apply the morph it just hangs at second step of the install "Framework-res.apk". The phone is not frozen, I can switch to other apps, receive calls, etc.

So far i have tried redownloading the morph. switching themes. and using "Zip Themer" to install it the old way, (Why do we even have a new way that just adds more steps to the install?) no luck. I am on a Droid Incredible.

Any help would be fantastic I really miss my nice clean lock screen.
[Android Themes] MaXAiRO:
Thanks David, I used the Lockscreen Icons only morph and it's ok now. I bought a Nexus S yesterday, flashed CM7.0.2 stable and tried some themes created by SonnySekhon, they were good but he hasn't themed some details which you seem to have, that's why I'm back to your theme. You have themed everything. My only complain is the battery percentage, I 've never used another theme without battery percentage because I wanna be able to see it anytime. What about adding a poll in the OP asking people if they want the theme with battery percentage or not?
[Android Themes] david1171:
It has to be named exactly GenieWidget.apk for the morph to work properly with it, if it is named that, and it is still not working, then I suggest using zip themer to apply it.

The lockscreen isn't supported with the theme engine. If you want just the invisible lockscreen, then just install the MinimalBread_Morph, if you want the lockscreen with just icons, then apply that morph after the MinimalBread morph. If you want the one with the tabs and icons, then apply that morph after the MinimalBread morph.

Sometimes metamorph hangs (as it did for you) which is why I prefer to use zip themer instead of metamorph.

I don't like the way the battery percentage looks, I set up the theme file wise though, so that if you want to give it the battery percentage icons with the morph from the OP, then it can be done easily (or at least I think it is quite easy). The reason it isn't in the theme is because I don't like it.
[Android Themes] sugar 7:
OK thanks

I have now Zipthemer...

But now metamorph tell me no target gmail.apk and torch.apk...what must I do ?

thanks !
[Android Themes] BaBo_FiSH:
I tried Zip Themer and got an error while trying to apply it

"Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was depreciated by Google in Android 1.5

It was neccessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch ti Edify scripting (Updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Installation aborted"

Did I update some piece of software I should not have while I was switching to CM7.0.2.1?

Edit: I figured it out, it seems if you have ClockWorkMod 3.0+ you need to tell Zip Themer what device you are on by going to Menu > Settings > Update Script Format > *Pick your device* I had no idea there were even settings in Zip Themer it looked like such a simple app.

I changed the settings for my phone, rebuilt the zip, reapplied, and it looks like its working.

Sorry to bug you when I just needed to do a little google leg work. I really appreciate the work you do on the theme and the support you give the community.
[Android Themes] sugar 7:
DONE !

geniewidget OK...I have torch in the widget but don't work...i think doesn't support on the SGS for now...mabe..

Like your theme ;)
[Android Themes] MaXAiRO:
OK David, everything's fine with the battery percentage. It was easy enough just as you said. Thank you for one more time!
[Android Themes] kantbstopped519:
the theme messes up the new google music beta app in the player screen & the widget, is there a way to theme both music players properly?
[Android Themes] david1171:
I doubt it. Remove the com_android_music.xml from MinimalBread.apk/res/xml and resign and install (providing you've uninstalled any other version).
[Android Themes] Lento10:
Good Evening David,

On the new cm nightlies, the 4G icon is not longer theme. It's not a big deal, I have attached a pic.
[Android Themes] david1171:
Maybe it got renamed? At some point, whenever I work on this again, I'll fix it.
[Android Themes] Lento10:
Cool, thanks
[Android Themes] kantbstopped519:
i like the default music player with your theming anyway, i was just wondering. i doubt i'll use the newer one for long, just wanted to try out the streaming when i get the invite, so i downloaded it & noticed it was looking a little weird
[Android Themes] :
Can we get a 4G icons for this theme?

It's fantastic, btw!
[Android Themes] david1171:
Whenever I decide to work on this again, fixing the updated 4G icon is on my agenda.
[Android Themes] apewall:
I know you don't use the cellular service of your device, but I noticed that incoming call icon is not themed it is default green on the latest version.

Using minimalbread/minimalbread morph/full lockscreen
[Android Themes] sambwel:
Amazing :D

One small thing: I found that MetaMorph gives an error that it cannot find the control file when trying to extract the Calendar zip.

Everything else I installed works like a charm. Thanks!
[Android Themes] david1171:
The calendar needs to be flashed in recovery :)
[Android Themes] sambwel:
lmao

that explains it :o thanks again!
[Android Themes] david1171:
Updated to 1.6.4.

Possible fix for incoming call status bar icon being green (needs verification)

4G status bar icons fixed (needs verification)
[Android Themes] suua:
minimalisbread is my fav theme so far!!!! its just so clean and nice :)

thank u mate :)
[Android Themes] MaXAiRO:
Hey David, thanks for the update. I uninstalled 1.6.3 and installed signed 1.6.4 apk with battery percentage from SD card. Now, in the Market there s always an update for 1.6.4 although I already have that version. This didn't happen when I had 1.6.3 installed from SD card. Any possible solution?
[Android Themes] david1171:
I'm glad you like it. Thank you :)

I redid the link in the OP, but here it is as well

http://bit.ly/iTib68

I changed the package name so that the market won't think the testsigned version is the market version. If you that version above, you shouldn't get any market errors. I'm not sure what is causing the market errors, but this should fix them.
[Android Themes] 0.0:
i have a couple of suggestions for this theme:

1. in the market, the stars for each app, mainly the ones with four and half stars, three and a half, and so forth is difficult to determine. i have included a pic.

2. i know this is suppose to be a minimal theme, but could you make the battery turn red when there is only 10% or 15% battery life left?

thanks for taking the time to read this :)

Edit: when my phone is charging, the battery icon flips. the second pic shows what i mean. is that how it suppose to be? im just wondering
[Android Themes] MaXAiRO:
I cannot open the link, it's loading forever. Maybe there's a problem with Mediafire. I 'll try again later. Thanks!
[Android Themes] mobilescooby:
Absolutely amazing theme! Loving it

2 quick questions/queries...

I get phone fc when I try to apply full lockscreen zip.. am I doing something wrong?

And the link for the Ubuntu font seems to be down! Can anybody post an alternative link or upload the file please

Many thanks
[Android Themes] sambwel:
Are you applying the lockscreen using metamorph? If so, check the settings. There's more info in the first post :)
[Android Themes] mobilescooby:
Thanks. Yea I'm using metamorph and as far I can tell I've followed the instructions to the letter!

Gonna reflash cm7 anyway so ill try again after the reflash before I restore all my apps.

Regards
[Android Themes] sambwel:
cool :) a couple of things to take note of then:

i found setting the morph speed to ~2000 was reliable for me, and not too slow

FCs can be caused by a number of things, so sometimes you just need to try wiping cache & dalvik cache, and fixing permissions

good luck!
[Android Themes] mobilescooby:
Thought I'd give it another shot before I reinstalled everything and setting it to 5000 worked without a hitch!

Thanks again

Regards

Any way to get the genie widget to be transparent with this theme?
[Android Themes] david1171:
Very small update.
[Android Themes] ephumuris:
Hi david fantastic theme i have used for a while. I would have liked to have used it with a transparent statusbar however just about all of your stat_ icons and a few others have black squares around them? Do you have any versions without?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] k_nivesout:
Absolutely fantastic theme! Goes beautifully with the minimalist ADW theme. Amazing work, might have to get the donate version.
[Android Themes] david1171:
No I don't. When I first started working on the status bar images (April 2010) I left a black box behind them so that they would be visible in the notification pull down menu when displayed in a notification. I went ahead and added a black background behind all of them because I am ocd like that.
[Android Themes] DRTMI:
Thank you! I just found this theme and love it and the calendar puts it over the top. Great work.

[Android Themes] cvsinpa:
I've tried following the directions you posted for the Swype theme, and it does say that it needs to be licensed again, but Swype Installer just says "Your version of Swype needs to be replaced" and tells me to uninstall Swype and rerun the installer. Any thoughts?

@david1171

i sent an email a while back with some app drawer icon requests.. maybe the new Google+ app could get the treatment too? whenever you have time :)

[Android Themes] david1171:
Updated OP with 1.6.6.
[Android Themes] david1171:
I will; I'm just slow about working on icons because it takes a long time to compile all of them for the market, so I don't like to do it very often.
[Android Themes] Adevem:
man it's annoying how CM7's Theme Chooser themes get "uninstalled" by itself on the Market. anyone having that issue as well?
[Android Themes] unattached:
it uninstalls itself? no, never experienced that..
[Android Themes] Adevem:
ye in the Market under My Apps, it's not listed as "Installed".

after doing a search for it in the Market, it labels itself as "Free" instead of "Installed" as usual. hope I'm making sense. happens all the time, even after checking "Allow Auto-updating".
[Android Themes] UnitedOceanic:
thanks for the nice theme,

i have a small problem, the app icons are the default ones except google+ and screenfilter.
[Android Themes] k_nivesout:
This happened to me too. Also, after I downloaded the update, I followed the instructions (apply system theme, let MB theme install, apply MB theme, reboot) and my google music beta widget went back to being unthemed?
[Android Themes] dreezz:
great theme, thanks!!

question: (my first day with themchooser theme's, so i hope this is not a very stupid question)

gmail messages have a huge header. when i open a message the sender, to, subject etc are very, very large.

the body of the message can be controlled under 'settings', but het header stays very big.

any idea?
[Android Themes] alex83fr:
Hey @David1171, why don't you create a MinimalBread icons thread ? XDA-users could participate to it, giving you moar time :)
[Android Themes] dreezz:
yoohoo, david, or someone else... ;-)

how can i solve the big headers in the gmail app mentioned in #243?

@alex83fr: are you aware of the minimalist theme in the market?
[Android Themes] david1171:
I need a screen shot because I have no idea what you mean.
[Android Themes] david1171:
@dreezz what is the screen resolution of your phone?
[Android Themes] dreezz:
it's a i5500 galaxy europa, screensize = 240x320
[Android Themes] david1171:
That's the issue, this theme is made for 480x800 resolutions and higher.
[Android Themes] dreezz:
i see :'-(

except for the big gmail header it's perfect for me.

any (simpe) solution?

or should i choose another theme if it keeps annoying me?
[Android Themes] dreezz:
--------------
[Android Themes] david1171:
You could decompile the apk, look through the com_google_android_gm.xml and remove calls to the images that are messing it up, or just remove that .xml altogether and recompile the apk, sign and install it.
[Android Themes] dreezz:
that's way out of my leage, friend :)

i'm happy to be able to install a rom, remove some system apps, enable a theme and stuff like that... decompile/compile...nope [embarassed smiley]
[Android Themes] david1171:
Install apkmanager, open Script.bat, run option 9 (or whichever is decompile apk) open the projects folder in the directory that you unpack apkmanger, open the MinimalBread.apk folder (or whatever it is named), open the res folder, open the xml folder, delete com_google_android_gm.xml, open Script.bat (or go back to it if you didn't close it), run option 11 (compile apk), option 12 (sign apk), then use option 13 (install apk) or place it on your sdcard and install from there. Make sure to uninstall any previous version. It is actually really easy to decompile/compile apk files.
[Android Themes] dreezz:
doesn't sound so easy to me.

after install it says i don't have java, so will not be able to sign

i'm pretty sure i have java on my win7 64 bit machine...

i'll try it on my xp-pc...
[Android Themes] dreezz:
also on the win xp machine apk manager says i don't have java installed, so can't sign the apk.

i started anyway.

placed the minimalbread apk in the projects folder.

started apk manager... chose nr 9 (decompile)

but... then it says...

please select a project to work on (option #22)

when i choose option 22 (set current prject) i can't browse?

i tried nr 1 for instance, but with no result.

how do i select you mimimalbread apk?

(sorry, feel quite dumb)
[Android Themes] david1171:
place-apk-here-for-modding is the folder you need to place the MinimalBread.apk into, sorry for not specifying that.

Also, go here and download Java SE 6 Update 26 (JDK, standard edition) and install it. It should work after that. If not, then you may need to add

;C:\Program Files\Java\jdkx.x.x_xx\bin (replacing the x's with numbers from that path probably 1.6.0_26)

to your Path or Classpath under environment variables under advanced system settings under system properties.
[Android Themes] dreezz:
thx for all your replies, david.

great service...

while it's pretty timeconsuming (for me) i switched to a different theme for now (which has a normal gmail header on my phone).

when i have the time i'll return to this topic and give it a try.
[Android Themes] sfingers:
Just a word of warning, I know this theme has only been tested on cm7, but as the oxygen rom for the nexus s now uses the T-Mobile theme engine I thought I'd test it out, everything works fine except for the calendar update which causes a force close every time upon opening.
[Android Themes] david1171:
Updated to 1.6.7 in the market, along with test-signed apk in the OP. Also updated MinimalBread_Morph.zip in the OP.
[Android Themes] xxproblemzxx:
Love the themed market. I was wondering if you could make a launcherpro widget theme with like a flat black header and transparent background maybe?
[Android Themes] Po0yAn:
thanks for the great theme. i tried tons of themes in almost two years and IMO this one is the one of the most polished and harmonic themes around,also its the best for samoled displays.

I have a problem with the ubuntu font, it makes square boxes when the word is not completely shown, like my album names in the screen shot below. can it be fixed?

i have another ubuntu font from sammy sekhon themes, this one doesn't have the problem above, but it's arabic form is awful. your font though doesn't change the default arabic style in cm7,which i like. so u can see i'm ridiculously stocked!

hope you can help me here.
[Android Themes] david1171:
I don't remember exactly when the ubuntu font in the OP started having that problem (a few months ago, pretty sure I was still using my N1 at the time), but I quit using it then because of the boxes. I never found a way to fix it. You should be able to push the stock DroidSansArabic.ttf from CM7 to /system/fonts/DroidSansArabic.ttf after applying the font you mentioned to return the stock style of the Arabic font.
[Android Themes] Po0yAn:
thanks. ill try it. ill attach the sammy's font so may work on that to solve the problem.

EDIT: tried what you said and still no succes.same boxes
[Android Themes] wilfmeister:
