I have not used MIUI in the last couple of months, and it looks like there is a new theme system. My question is, some of the themes are available in .zip and .mtz format. Can I use the .mtz themes just like the .zip ones and put them in MIUI/theme to apply the theme? Thanks!
I would ask this over there but have not signed up yet.
Yes, you can! I have both zip and mtz files in my /Miui/themes folder.

.mtz is the more current and preferred format although both should technically work (at least for the moment.)
Cool, I appreciate the answers!

Here's my question, I'd like to switch out the fonts in the Rom I'm using is the Bowtie from Nebula (loving it by the way). I'd just like to switch fonts is all. What would I need to do. I read a few post a while back in some other threads that to use metamorph but the apply says for advanced users. I don't think I'm on advanced level yet but I would still like to learn.

Metamorph is really easy to use.
Download the free version from the market, once its installed you can download a zip with fonts in it then just apply the don't you want to use.
EDIT:
Search the threads for (metamorph changing fonts on the fly) and there is a zip file you can download there to use with metamorph.

You can also flash this (attached) through Clockwork. What I do is, open up this zip (use program 7zip, if you don't already, on your computer),
Take any font, rename it to DroidSans.ttf or DroidSans-Bold.ttf.. etc, copy and replace any fonts inside this zip, then flash.
Or, you can just check out the mother of all xda font threads: 200 Flashable Font Packs
I think ComfortAA (the attached one) is still my fav though.
You guys rock! I asked a question and you guys answered quick and perfect. I'm gonna try these out. Thank you thank you thank you! People like you guys and this community make my phone The Shizznit!

hm-- I'm pretty sure the attachment was straight from that thread-- are you flashing 'normally' through clockwork?

ComfortAA is my current favorite as well. I use root explorer to copy the DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf files on my sd card and paste them over the default files in the system/font folder. When I restart the phone, my font is there.
I bought Root System Font installer from the market. Over 200 fonts, you can preview the font and its easy.

I am not able to add the MIUI themes available in .zip format to the theme manager. I placed the themes in MIUI/themes folders but the themes are not displayed. I tried to import the theme using the theme manager and it still is not displayed. As suggested in some threads I also changed .zip to .mtz and still no luck. Has anyone else faced the same issue? I am currently running MIUI - RC7c.
MIUI rocks. Waiting eagerly for the 1.5.6 update. .
No one is facing this issue?

me too, i have the same issue. but still no solution
try to rename it in "themename".mtz
and put it into miui/theme
If the zip contains a single file with .mtz extension you must extract that file first. Or rename the zip to .mtz as has already been mentioned.
Wow I had given up on this post and moved on . Thanks for the answer guys but I figured out that I was facing issues with incompatiblities between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 themes. That is why I was not able to see them. Btw jumba your theme for MIUI is excellent. Good thing I still have my sgs , trying it out right now.

remove the zip extension and apply it, you will get a iPhone and more app library and editable widgets
So hello...
I translated a horizontal unlock lockscreen to English (the one you can find in theme manager)
All the credit goes to ... the person who made it, I only translated it!
For the moment I don't have my charger, so I can't test it (actually I didn't test anything but all I did was translate some words and save, at least the date wasn't Chinese anymore)... but it should work! EDIT: I tried everything and it works perfectly
Hope you enjoy
PS: I changed the wallpaper to the iPhone 4 one
PS1: I can only uploade the .zip file, so you should rename the .zip file to .mtz
PS2: The preview you see in Theme Manager isn't the good one, the wallpaper is different, but I was too lazy to change it.
ummm how do i install this on my Phone

boot into clockwork recovery and flash zip from there
I think it is pretty obvious that when you search for a theme you know how to instalt
+ in the first post I say you have to rename it to .mtz and then install it through theme manager. (This is only for miui!
Is there a thread on here that can tell me how to put it on my G2 or can some one tell me the steps?
Great job! Care to give this one a shot? Thanks. (just change .zip to .mtz - had to change the extension in order to upload it to the forum.)
This will change my lockscreen style from sliding up/down to sliding left/right?

Here's yours. I just tried to translate it (only lockscreen part). Enjoy
Note: change extension to .mtz to use.
This is nice compared to the sense 2.1 like lock screen in miui.
Hello to everybody!!!
Finally the mod is complete!!!
A true new vanilla (holo stock) style theme is ready and can be installed on our device like a simple application!!!
No root required, no change in system directory, no strange operation to do! just install the APK in attachment.
You will have a new theme in the list, it is similar to stock JB theme.
It is for Italian version (E975) but it should works on other versions too! (please send feedback about)
Enjoy!!!!! and hello to everybody!!!!
I will be happy to receive feedback.
P.S. I found that is possible to make and install how much theme we want on our phone! LG rules this time!
EDIT
in the next pages you can found and download other very nice themes created by Syhon! (iphone,xperia Z, sense 5 and many more)
thanks to Syhon
EDIT 2
in attachment kit kat theme by me!!! I hope you enjoy!

Good job!
Can´t you just name differently? I.e "LGHome3_Theme_Holo".
What tools do you use to compile and recompile?

Hello,
simply APK tool. I've tried to rename it (not only the pack, but decompiling and re-compiling the entire smali content) but then, it was not recognized by the launcher. Now I'm full of work and I can't spent time on this. maybe in the next week I can attempt to make a better mod.
Anyway, without tool, you can just substitute icon you want in APK file with winrar
bye
I threw in a bunch of new icons in "drawable-xhdpi" with winrar and then pushed the apk back to system but it didnt work so i guess i have to rename all icons to corresponding original names if i want it to work Thanks for the tip!

Ok. So here are my conclusions:
- It looks great and it is the best thing you can install on your optimus g
- You used odexed file so it need corresponding .odex file which probably means that you cannot change name without: a) deodexing or b) using correct .odex file.
- You used icons with too small resolution so they are not looking so good as they should be

Yes you are right! mine is just an idea to implement. I will try to deodex the file, modify it and to make a copy as a new theme. If it will work, for sure a better theme can be done, But now I don't wont to spent time on one of the stock theme (as the mode work now), just becouse I dont wont to corrupt any file in system directory to avoid problem with future update
next week for sure I will have much time to implement it. If someone could help I will be very gratefull

Hello to everybody!!! this is my first mod for this phone. I've modified stock biz theme to trasform it on a stock JB holo theme
You need a root devices. Just copy the attached file in system/app folder and replace the original biz theme apk. (remember to make a backup before!!!!!!)
Please be sure to assign RW-R-R permission. Then restart device!!!
It is for Italian version (E975) I don't know if works on other versions
I've no much time, so I will be really greatfull if someone can found a way to create new theme without overwrite existing ones.
Theme can have some imperfections, for example app drawer in landscape is not modified. Please consider this a beta.
byeeeee
(there are 4 zip file in attachment due to upload limitation, download every file and extract all of them on the same folder. Then extract only the .zip file (contained in the first attachment) to obtain the APK )

Hello, i've tryied again and the files in attachment still works. First step is to extract all the files in the same folder. Then you will have 1 zip and 3 other file. Now just extract the zip one (I've used win zip).
Anyway... In the next hours i will post the new version! So you can simply wait
In the new version you don't have to substitute a stock theme... But you have just to copy the apk in system folder to have a all new vanilla extra theme! coming very soon!

Hi,
I ve updated the iphone theme previously posted to add more icons, application background transparency and new drawer icon.
Also i port the icons and background from crystal 2 theme (originaly made by DaRk_dOg for cm roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951690 ) which is the best theme ever.
anyone know the step to apply custom theme ?
cause I have been using the old method to install the custom theme on this magic UI but it doesnt work at all
You have to use Honor themes, Hauwei themes don't/won't work.
You still customize the same way and install the same way using the theme app.
anyone know where to get the honor theme ? besides in the Themes app? because the current default theme icon seems too big tbh
I've tried all hwt files and paste them in all honor folders whereas custom themes are not shown in theme app.
I bought this phone only for that to have custom themes and it seems that magic ui 6 is the issue
