Root [Theme] Honeybread for ApeX 1.4 (Updated 3/2/11)

K, I tried it out and am loving it so far. Only 2 small nitpicks I've noticed.

1. The 3G icon is white when not in use, and then changes to the blue when in use. Dunno if this was intentional or not, but I like stock theme on apex where the icon is green when not in use, and the up and down arrows light up when in use.

2. The progress bars on the browser and others places, along with the check-boxes are still gingerbread green. Other than that, I haven't found any problems. Would love to donate/help if possible.

Some great screens of it in action (used honeycomb lpp over at xda):

Would you mind sharing how you configured your dock and text icons. I really like it.

First off EC, awesome job with the theme!!!!! love the battery, love the signal, love the color. Because I want to see this theme progress here are my thoughts take them or leave them:

I love the alternating blue/white 3g. But not a huge fan of them flipping from top to bottom

Dialog boxes seem a little cramped, not sure if its a font issue or just a resizing issue.

If we could eradicate all traces of green and replace them with blue that would be great. (IE check boxes/status bar)

Maybe include some themed icons and one of the honeycomb themed markets.

These are all my personal opinions and some of those things may be done by default. In anycase I have my new theme. Thank you very much. If I come across anything else I'll chime in.

PS LOVE the lockscreen!!!!

It's there, just invisible. Check the OP

That's the problem...mine is not invisible and I'm trying to figure out why/how to get it invisible?

If I reflash this theme over my current setup (Apex 1.4.1 and this theme) will I get stuck and need to SBF? I'm just thinking maybe it didn't finish all the way or something and that is why my vibrate slider is not invisible like its supposed to be. Any help?

This looks awesome. Hopefully Fab will add it to the tool box. What exactly isn't finished with it yet?

there are still some things I plan on working on. little bits of the gingerbread green hidden here and there, themed sms, browser, gmail ect icons that kind of stuff.

How do you get the wallpaper? Ever time I flash a theme or rom it's the wallpaper I had.

updated the OP to include the wallpaper

where can I get the default battery icons for the notification bar for honeycomb?

I may be making another version with the original battery

ok i just have to say i love pretty much everything about this just one thing the send button in gtalk is rather small and i was wondering if you changed it or something...i only know of gtalk being like this because i havent really used anything else yet

yeah I've noticed the button issue and am looking into it.

The green progress bar is killing this theme. Any update in the future with themed progress bar and market?

yeah I will be trying to change the progress bar. its actually high on my list of things I want to do. but it's an xml file that needs to be edited which I dont have experience with so... but Im going to try. and yes I will be including the themed market over on XDA into the updated version of the theme

yeah im going to look into fixing the flip flopping 3g icon and the dialog box. the green check boxes were actually changed to green. they were orange before I think. BUT I will be changing them to match the rest of the theme as well. The status bar is very high on my list of things to change (Ive been wanting to do that since before I started this thread) but its an xml edit which im unfamiliar with so it will be a learning process for me. but I WILL figure it out lol. themed icons and market will defiantly be coming

Hey :) I love the theme but am having one problem. The lockscreen main slider changed but some reason the vibrate slider is still there. Any ideas?

I think I see the issue your seeing, your saying if you slide it to vibrate then the vibrate slider shows up? I removed the image before I posted everything so idk why it is doing that, but ill make sure that gets fixed in the next update as well

do you think i could use this theme with rubix 1.9.7? :D
im sure the framework is different so youd have to go through all the image files and whatnot. this theme as it sits right here would not work on rubix


OK with all that said I will be working on the update for this today but I cant promise it will be released today. I'm leaving tomorrow to go to Atlantic City with my girlfriend till the middle of next week so if I dont get anything out today it will be a few days before I get it out. hope you all dont mind waiting a few days though cause this is my last full weekend before I go back to working 6 days a week for the next 9 months... ug... and I plan on trying to drink and relax today lol

anyway, hope you all have a good weekend and I will keep you updated on any updates

again man. Awesome job. I hope you don't take all the suggesting as a complaining. Just want to help make this theme the best it can be. Is this your first full on theme? If so man GIANT KUDOS


No not at all. I appreciate any criticism good or bad. Im all for making the theme more complete.
I've made small things before like battery icon edits and I messed with revolution and nextheme back on one of the other apex versions but this is the first time I've brought an entire theme from a completely different device over to the X. I didn't create most of the images (they came from a CM7 build) but there was a fair amount of editing to get them into apex. I probably could have made it easier using wugfresh's theme porter but id rather do it by hand and learn everything than just have dome program do it. (Plus I've heard a lot of people had problems with it) but yeah this is basically the most complete theme I've ever worked on.

You're definitely doing a great job and this theme is gorgeous. Appreciate the hard work and will keep an eye out on the updates. :)
