[Q] MIUI not compatible with my LT18i? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Arc S (LT18i) with unlocked bootloader and all that ****.
But, that´s not the problem. My problem is, or, to be honest, my wonders, is this:
In all MIUI-roms i´ve used, on various phones, have 2 specific thing that drives me F-ING CRAZYYYY!!
1. Transparent statusbar. I hate it. I want it black, like in menus, NOT transparent.
2. When applying themes, that comes with modified statusbar icons, like signal and battery, it NEVER changes. Allways the usuall MIUI style.
How can i get an BLACK, SOLID statusbar and how to make statusbar icons change as they should?
Tips that leads to my "problems" get fixed, will lead to an donation in the amount of 20 Euros (or the matching amount in your currency)
Please help me, i´m about to redecorate my walls with my phone.
Phone: LT18i (Arc S)
ROM: MIUI Scotland V4 Downloads 2.6.1 for LT18i
My mood: Not great!

Fisrt of all, what MIUI rom do you run? MIUI v4(Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich) or MIUI GB? They both have different theme files, so if you install a MIUI GB theme file on MIUI v4, it will only affect icons and lockscreen, but not frameworks(for instance, status bar); and vice versa.
1: Install a compatible theme. If you're running MIUI v4, go here. If you're running MIUI GB, then find yourself a MIUI theme from the XDAs Theming forum(just make sure it doesn't read MIUI v4)
2: ^
EDIT: Whoops, you already mentioned you are running MIUI v4...

[Q] How to extract MIUI statusbar icons?

Hi,
I have experience with modifying themes by swapping PNGs and wanted to add some of them from MIUI to Samsung rom.
Unfortunately I cannot find them in neither MIUI ROM, nor it's theme files. They're not in the place non MIUI ROMs hold them and anywhere else.
i downloaded miui galnet a few weeks ago for this and they were all in systemui.apk just like for gingerbread stock roms
That's true, but for example battery ones are missing.

Restoring default cyanogenmod theme on a skinned ROM (e.g black ice)?

Hi,
I'm running Black Ice - and the ROM itself is good, but I'm not a huge fan of the skin. The lockscreen is very dark and the symbols have changed, and also the statusbar has different icons which I'm not that keen on.
How can I restore the default cyanogenmod theme, is there a flashable zip that removes all of the custom skins?
Thanks
You should just switch back to cyanogen. Devs take a base and add a theme to it because they are targeting a specific look. If its not for you then switch to something else. If there are other themes available for a Rom they will be posted in op or someone in thread will post a working one. I don't think they are interested in going for the cyanogen look since cyanogen already has the vanilla look down.
I know the black ice devs don't want the vanilla look, and I'm ok with that. But you can skin roms in different ways, so surely one is the default cyanogenmod look?
The thread mentions copying systemui.apk and framework-res.apk but I'm not having any luck.
And blackice has some great tweaks, which is why I'm using it
Black ice is derived from cyanogen so you should be able to extract those two files from framework in cyanogen and push them to your phone and then reboot. What problems are you experiencing while trying this? You could try using the kitchen to swap the files.

MIUI Launcher best Alternative ...To have full ics and a lil taste of MIUI

Hi im just posting this for anyone one t989 forum looking for an Alternative
*This is not a rom*
*Users should be running ICS rom*
*NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR OWN PHONE UR ACTIONS ARE YOUR OWN*
Purpose of thread
Anyone who wants a temporary solution to a 4.0 MIUI rom without any bugs (other than the ones on the rom you choose to have)
Solution :
MIUI LAUNCHER CREATED BY ZACQ8
So i basically I'm running (Rom) IML74K_Ics_Perfection II BY : hayn_pryde46 (since on my phone it runs super smooth with almost no problems but it differs from person to person)
and i applied the MIUI launcher on my t989d from telus works perfectly with this rom
JUST TO CLARIFY
*THE ROM AND LAUNCHER IS NOT MINE THANK THE GUYS WHO Made IT *
Screenshots Below And additional Info:
LINK TO THREAD
MIUI laucher :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623026
ADDITIONAL INFO- * the notification bar and internal parts such as the menus cannot be themed since it's a launcher not a rom look at the picture # 4 setting menu is normal as whatever the rom has it as.
So you have acess to the themes, change the lockscreen and have the MIUI widgets ...Should help tide us over till a 4.0 based MIUI ROM comes out.....
If you found this helpful hit the thumbs up (thanks button) below
So we can use all the themes from MIUI on non MIUI roms?
Edit: sorry I reread & got my question answered
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
wow amazing find! looks just like miui and love the theme support! thanks
