Need help applying MIUI themes!? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have had the previous versions of MIUI working great and have been able to change themes easily by simply dropping in the MIUI/Themes folder then ap0plying through settings/personal. Something in the latest versions seem to have changed, with no explanation?! Firstly some themes dont show, Ive noticed that the file extension has changed to MTZ but then when I apply as a "system style" some things change but not all, eg background and icons unchanged.
Help this is one of the main reasons I changed to MIUI, now it seems frustatingly complicated and broken?!
Using stock 12.24 and ebglish language pack btw

131 views and not one comment, this forum really is dying!?

Hmm, not sure if I can help but I will at least make a suggestion.
I'm using the same MIUI ROM (12.24 R2 to be exact), and do not appear to have any issues with it, especially with theming.
Are you using 12.12 R1?
Did you flash the language pack manually?
Did you perform a full wipe of the data and caches before flashing the ROM?
EDIT: Do you have the Gingerbread keyboard installed? I think that may be the cause to your problem as it breaks theming with MIUI apparently.

I installed the language pack by just going into recovery and flashing if thats ok?
Didn't install any gingerbread keyboard unless it came with original miui rom
On this install didnt wipe anything, but with previous I did factory reset and had problems with themes then too.
Cheers for the reply though

Cannot change themes using wisbar or custom .tsk files

Hi All,
I am trying to change the themes using custom .tsk files and advanced wisbar, but when i apply the theme, it doesn't work, i mean, only half of it work but botton task bar doesnt get the theme applied to , I read that only black 3.0.1 has this issue fixed, but is it possible to fix this for other custom roms too?
Appreciate your help,
Thanks

I had this just happen when flashing back to a rom I normally use. I just had to hard reset the phone. Something just becomes corrupt and applying any themes didn’t take. Worked fine after the HR, but had reinstall all the apps again…

AuraxTSense without any transparency whatsoever?

Hello all, I've been flashing my roms for a long time now, and I'd like to think I'm not much of a newbie here, but there is one thing that is ruining me. I've asked on the thread where the rom has been posted, but no answers.
The Rom in question is AuraxTSense 7.6.1.
Is there a way to get rid of all transparency and just have it look like Sense? (not that I want sense. LauncherPro is my cup of tea) but the transparency on the keyboard, the transparent dock at the top and the dropdown menu looking grey isn't to my fancy. So is there a way to get rid of all transparency? I haven't tried flashing "original theme" from the first page yet, but I will do if it gets rid.
Running NexTSense v6.0 atm and would love to upgrade to the newest version as I do like what Neo is doing with his roms. They are stable and not so battery hungry (that'll be another day to find out the best radio).
Thanks,
Dan

flash the original theme will get rid of the expressobar, flash a diffrent taskbar will get rid of the transparant taskbar and notifiction pull down, and use adb to remove and push the original htc_ime.apk to get the old one back, you could also make your own htc_ime mod at www.gimpsta.com and use that instead
Well flashing the original theme will get rid of it and return theme to stock sense(not espresso), but he states it is for 5.0, so if he have changed anything else in the .apk's it flashes, it might change other things. but i would say go ahead, make a nandroid and try it. Alternatively you could pull the the following from 6.0 and add them to a zip file:
- framework-res.apk
- com.htc.resources.apk
- Rosie.apk
- HtcLockScreen.apk
Those are the one's included in the original theme zip. (edit: also many of the widgets are edited, if you want to change back, pull those from 6.0 as well)
Btw. i love the transparency, and i'm using the rom myself. Only thing missing is transparrent message area, when pulled down. For the keyboard. Just use the "HTC ime mod" which is also included
Cheers for your help guys. I'm gonna check both of them out. Making my own keyboard seems a great idea because I have big thumbs and always hit the . button and would like to get rid of the language. Would be fun times. I do like HTC_IME Mod too tbh, flawless!

Well, I'd just like to confirm that all this worked. I got the AuraxTSense 7.6.1 and NexTSense 6.0 and took all the files out of the 6.0, put them in to a zip file with all of AuraxTSense 7.6.1 and flashed it (after doing Nandroid just incase).
Only thing is the Keyboard didn't get rid of the transparency, but seeing as their is the Multitouch Keyboard, as well as HTC_IME Mod, it's fine!

now this rom has this new file overlay system, you might just be able to replace the htc_ime.apk with the stock one using a file explorer

1) If you have a lagfix, disable it
2) wipe data/cache/dalvik
3) install zip from sdcard "Ginger_BASE" (from ClockWorkMod recovery)
3a) if something wrong happen (because kernels < K9 are a little incompatible with K9) i advice to you to install JM8 or JM9 (rom eclair) with pit512 and re-partition flagged in Odin, then flash official JP5 with pit803 without re-partition always from Odin. At this point, flash SpeedMod > or equal to K9 you prefer (as long as K9) from Odin as PDA. So, wipe data and cache, and proceed as described at point 3)...
4) reboot
5) return in recovery and make a wipe cache/dalvik-cache

...if i forgot someone remember me please...
Nice rom to play with.
I installed over Docs Jp6. The first time I booted I was stuck at the welcome screen. Seems like the email.apk was faulty.
I installed the email.apk from doc, also I wasn't sure if it was recognizing launcher pro as my only launcher, so I installed the one from doc again, all from recovery.
Next boot works fine. Apart from side scrolling on emails.
This Rom has not wiped any data.

Great work!
Going to try it!
thanks bud, but you may want to add the new Gingerbread theme which makes the text black in the drop down bar will try it now!

Thanks for your help
This looks really nice. Downloading now, thanks alot.
Hey dude, i've been trying to install this ROM for the past 2 hours now but no dice. Keeps on getting stuck at boot, i've followed your instructions to the T. Any ideas? Thanks!
Well done! it's always nice to see italian people making good roms!
I'd like to see this work with JPO. A gingerbread theme will do until we get an unofficial or official ROM.

Same problem here. I'm using JPO firmware, still wont boot correctly after wipes of data and cache. The touch keys work and light up, no vibration though - just random vibrations.
Re-flashed and still no luck.

[Q] Getting FCs after installed a theme

I am a absolute newbie to rooting and themes.
After I installed a theme, I get a lot of FCs with Gmail, SNS, and other system applications.
What is actually happening and how to solve?
depends on whether the theme is compatible with the rom anot. some theme is not compatible with some roms.

you need to state what you have running such as rom, kernel, apps, tweaks, lagfixes etc, what theme you applied and the methods used, before anyone can assist you.
Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread but this happened to me too with your Black Android theme v3.5....
I actually had it working but flashed another theme to try and then tried to go back to Black Android and FC's like the OP.
Flashed with CWM, Speedmod 13C, no lagfix, 1st 3 tweaks (or not, tried both), I used a Doc kitchen rom JS5 based and tried both wipe and no-wipe, tried clearing caches...
Thought it was me but other themes work... Odd cuz it worked at first...

[Q] UOT Kitchen - System.apk/Framework.apk

So, I forgot to backup my system & framework apk's before I uploaded them into the kitchen and made a new theme. *I know, shame on me*.
Is there a default/stock for those or are they created based of individual phone information?
What i'm asking is, do I need to re-install the rom to get those back or can I just pull them from above said stock apk's?
Android: 2.3.5
Rom:Cm7(08012011)
Any help would be greatly apprecaited!!!
Thanks-

i'm confused. are you saying you dont like your theme and want to go back to stock or you want you want to update to the next nightly but dont want to do the kitchen every time?
I'm not reaaal familiar with the kitchen stuff, I know more than enough to get myself in trouble (changing radio's, roms, etc) but haven't completely grasped the themes yet.
It SEEMS like a couple of things are not changing even if I create a completely new theme (The battery icon, the lockscreen buttons and something else I forget)
My thinking is, there's a generic theme(s) for the rom and when you create a get a new one, it updates certain aspects of it.
If I create a new theme in kitchen and only change the battery, wouldn't all of the other settings revert to the "default" theme?
On a completely different note-
What's the difference between ADW themes and Themechoose themes?

Ah. ok. so what ever you change in the kitchen it will change in the apk. it wont touch the rest of the apk. its kinda like an online apktool. it unpackages it changes the png's you want and then packages it up again using the resources from the apk you submitted. ADW themes are for the ADW launcher so it only themes the home screens. but Themechooser themes the whole phone, or as much as the developer of themechooser allowed it to do.
Great! Thanks
