[Q] How to apply icon packs in MIUI rom.

I have downloaded and icon pack on my PC for my MIUI rom. Can anyone kindly give me instructions on how to apply it?
Thanks in advance.

Well miui have a theme editor, and it uses a custom file type. Just put the file on your sd-card and open the theme-editor, and it should load the new theme and allow you to choose it.

Thanks for the help.
I am having no trouble with applying entire themes as you have mentioned. What I want to do is a change all the icons of the default MIUI theme to those of an icon pack that I have downloaded. Any idea how to do that?

if it is .mtz file simply open it from file explorer and it will ask you to install. once installed you can choose those icons from theme manager -> edit theme -> icon

ok im having the same problem. i dunno if other dude figured it out, but here is where im lost. i downloaded blank mtz file and icon packs from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218876
when i try to open mtz file it said it did not contain the required resources. how then do i add icons to mtz file? did a search and this is the only topic i found on this problem.

Change Icons in App-Drawer ?

Hello !
How i can change the icons in the App-Drawer ?
Is there an App like Winterboard for iOS ?
I use a HTC DHD with CM 10.1
Thanks !

Depending on the launcher your using there are icon packs in market but it won't change all of them. You can get experimental and open the apks and change the PNG images but I would do a Full Research on how to come about it cause its no easy task. You can change the .apk to .zip unzip find PNG change rezip change .zip back to .apk then sign it. Its how I do mines but like I said do your research and backup rom before you attempt anything. Enjoy the learning. By the way there is an app that signs the apk for you on the phone. I am out now but I will upload it with instructions for you as soon as I can get to my computer.
Just install apk open it then click button (Choose In/Out) find apk you want to sign then click button (Sign The File). You will then have two files in the folder one signed the other not signed.

Ok thank you ! You mean i must add my new Icon to the IconPack.apk ?
Where i can find the right Names for the Icons ?
And must i delete a Folder before sign the App ? I see this in other Sign-HowTo, but this dont work.
So many Questions ...

No do not delete any folders all your doing is changing the PNG. But make sure the new PNG is the same size as the one being replaced as well as named exactly as the old one. Icon is located in : res folder > drawable-hdpi folder

[TUTORIAL] Change App Icons In Touchwiz

Hey Friends,
This is a little Tutorial about changing app icons permanently. There was a lot of applications available in Playstore like
“ icon changer free” etc etc to change the app icons. But the problem is that u cant use that changed apps in ur app drawer. U can only use that in ur home screen as a shortcut.
So I just decided to put a little tutorial to do that easily. I know everybody will know this already. But it will help for someone I am sure….
TOOLS NEEDED..!!
1.Photoshop(Ps)
2.a flashable zip
3.root explorer on your phone
4.7-zip
STEPS-
1) Get some cool icons from my xperia z icons pack - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287388 and save it to your pc.
Edit: If u need some cool Galaxy S4 icons Download it from Here - http://www.mediafire.com/download/k2522edgik21tp1/GS+4+Icons.zip
2) Whichever app icon you want to mod say the "video player",just copy it's apk from /system/app/<apk_name>.apk
and paste it to sdcard.
3) Now transfer this apk to your pc and extract it using 7-zip.
4) Now look for the app icon the file name maybe in drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320dp-hdpi under res.."video",or"homescreen_icon" or anything...

6) Alright then you know the app icon dimension now.
7) Now save the image as <app_icon_name>.png on the desktop(make sure the name is proper)
8) Open the apk with 7-zip
9) Now drag and drop this image from the desktop to the folder drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320-hdpi
and click yes when the prompt appears and close 7-zip

how to change icons of installed apps?

Same procedure as mentioned above.
Copy that apk on pc open it with 7 zip and follow the procedure.

Besides drawable-hdpi and drawable-sw320dp-hdpi folders, icons are located in mipmap-hdpi folder in most apps. And they are mostly named as ic_launcher_appname.png, so change this png to change icon of that app.

Same here
Would love some help if anyone gave the ttf file

I forgot where I got it from, just flash in recovery. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3xbjqvfwhjweddm/Android_LFonts+.zip?dl=0

If you want a less permanent solution you can download the above zip and extract the folder labled 'fonts'. Then download ifont and in your file manager create a folder title 'custom' under ifont. Then move the extracted fonts folder over. Now open ifont select my fonts and there you will see your custom folder. Set and reboot.
