[MOD/MIUI] ［How to］ replace cinese language in lockscreen with yours

Hi everyone. I'm not sure if this was already posted. If it was then tell me so I can contact moderator and remove this thread.
Yesterday I flashed MIUI first time and while trying themes I noticed that some words are in chinese.
So I will tell you how to change your lockscreen (look at the attachments)
1. Download lockscreen theme.
2. Connent your phone to your computer
3. Open Internal SD > MIUI > theme > theme you want to edit
4. Copy file to desktop
5. Use 7-zip to extract mtz file
6. Now you can delete mtz file
7. Open your theme folder (that was extracted in step 5) and choose lockscreen file.
8. Now extract lockscreen file with 7-zip (if you can add .zip after lockscreen so it should look like lockscreen.zip)
9. Open manifest.xml with notepad++ and edit what you need. I had to change this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/18/15447738.png/
10. Now save manifest.xml
11. Now open lockscreen file with 7-zip (step 7) and delete file manifest.xml
12. Drag and drop edited manifest.xml to 7-zip window like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/534/dragk.png/
13. Now delete file that you extracted in step 8
14. Now select files and choose add to archive (with WinRAR) mark ZIP as archive format when prompted AND RENAME .zip TO .mtz http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/26/compress.png/
15. Save it and copy it to phone and install via file manager.
If you have questions post it below.

Dude I just want to say thanks for this info!!! I found all the chinese txt and used google translate and replaced the txt with english!!! Worked great!!! Now I have about 10 themes I need to do ...lol

help
once i save the manifest file into the lockscreen.zip file, is it suppose to stay .zip? because once i archive the files that were extracted from the original theme. and i go back to apply the theme. it gives me a totally different lockscreen.
the theme that im working with is Ice Cream MIUI_(805477.1).mtz and the problem that i have is that it won't show the weather which i don't care to see in my lockscreen (it would b nice) but the issue that i have is that it just gives me a line full of characters that i can't make out. they're not Chinese i believe they're a bunch up English letter overlapping each other.
has n e one come across this problem with this particular theme?
as soon as i can post a picture up i'll do so....having hit that 8 post yet...=\

Excellent! got it to work, now just tweaking it!
Edit:
Working on changing the slider to say "slide to unlock" next

PLEASE, can you explain me how to drag and drop manifest.xml in the folder advance?

At step 11:Now open lockscreen file with 7-zip (step
7) and delete file manifest.xml, i can't delete manifest. xml. Why?

MIUI 3.8.2
It seems that in MIUI the folder for themes has changed. I searched in the MIUI folder but could not find it anywhere - there seem to be only settings for the actual theme in "theme" subfolder. I installed some themes manually (from SD card), but they got moved from install folder to somewhere I really don't know. With AndroZip I found nothing, searching the whole internal (and even external) sdcard.
Is there any possibility to get rid of the chinese letters in MIUI 3.8.2?

This is waayyyy more complicated than it needs to be, just open the mtz with the MIUI Theme Editor and edit the manifest taking all the Chinese out of the lockscreen and generate the mtz again.

So no chance to remove it in already installed themes or themes from the MIUI themes app, I guess.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!

Go to /data/system/theme and pull the file named lockscreen from there, that's the currently in use lockscreen you're using. Put that file on your PC and extract it with 7zip, click "extract to lockscreen-\" then delete the ~ from the folder name. Use the MIUI Theme Editor and make a new theme and put that extracted folder in the theme, make sure the folder is called "lockscreen" and then open that folder, go into the advance folder and edit the manifest. Then in the MIUI Theme Editor click generate, put the new generated mtz on your phone and install it, profit!

Editing App icon using your droid only

Hello Guys i just figured out that the root explorer app has a lot of inbuilt cool features it is lot more than a file explorer it can handle archives like .zip same as winrar so i thought to use it as i use it on my pc
In this guide i will teell you how to edit an app icon using root explorer only
1) Rename the .apk to .zip like example xyz.apk to xyz.zip
2)Hold the xyz.zip and select extract
3Wait for it to extract and go to extracted file
4)It will extract all its content iin a folder open it you will see res folder open it
5)There will be many folder sartibg with drawable like drawable-idpi,drawable-hdpi...etc
6)Search for the icon image now replace the image with any image of your choice but remember to maintain same resolution and a png file format as icons are png in that android
7)Once done go back and hold the foldet and select to zip it then go to that zip folder
8)Rename the zip to apk example xyz.zip to xyz.apk and you are done
Note : The new apk made might not be installed as direct apk you might need to push it to system to make it work

Good! :good:

Did'nt worked here, I put the extracted folder in the system apps, reboot and nothing... Any ideas? I set the permissions to rw-r--r-- only in the folder, not in the apk, trying again.
Best greetings

Didn't worked for me so i downloaded the latest version from apkmirror and pasted it in system/app without the folder and rebooted and it worked

Help [ Xperia Z1 ] how to uninstal Dolby 7.1

Hey everyone i had instal the mode sound Dolby 7.1 in my Xperia z1 c6903
Unfortunately I didnt take a backup
Can someone help and give the original sound mode for Xperia!!!???
I wont use Sony companion but my data

Which files do you want? Are they the same for Z1 and Z1c?

I want the original sound mode for the Z1 c6903

This is Z1c forum. Maybe a Z1 user will see it, but make sure you post in Z1 forum.

This is how I did from Z1C:
1. On computer, open up the mod's zip file
2. On phone, with root browser, delete the files from your system folders, that are present in the mod's zip (dont care if they were already there before the mod install, we will put back the original files)
3. DONT REBOOT
4. Download (or if you already have it on your computer, open) your custom rom's zip. If you are on stock, then download any stock based rom
5. Extract mixer_paths.xml from system/etc, and libspeexresampler.so from system/lib, push them to phone, and paste to their places. (in my case only theese 2 were missing, but i installed an other sound mod, so probably it put some of the files back)
6. You should check, that every file that is in the rom's zip file is present on your phone, because if one is missing you can get bootloop. First, i compared the dolby mod's zip with the rom's zip, and when i found a match, i checked on my phone, if the file exists. If no, then extract from rom zip and copy to phone.
8. There are some lines in the build.prop too, but I think you can leave them (the build.prop changes can be found in the dolby.sh script, in the root of the mod's zip, if you want, you can compare yours, and whats in the script, and delete the unnecessary lines)
7. After you are sure that 0 system file missing from your phone, reboot
Thats how I "uninstalled" the dolby mod
