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!

Can someone tell me how to add custom icons for apps in my rom? There are many apps I'm gonna leave out but want to have the icons I make used if that app is installed. The only way I know is to manually change the icon in the drawable-hdpi in each app. This would be essential for two reasons. First, it would automatically use my custom icon. Secondly, it would make updating my rom so much easier without having to manually edit the icons every time the rom gets updated. I tried looking at some theme.apks for theme chooser but didn't quite see what I needed to accomplish my aim. I've used apktool and looked at some of the xml files as well to try and get a feel of what I need to do in order to accomplish my theme. So as the title states, HELP PLEASE!!!
Try using Ninja Morph. I recommended it to a lot of people. I made a how to a while ago for changing the signal bars. It is essentially the same process if you know where the icon is you want to change. Let me know if you need help.
*It's IncREDible*
That's not really what I'm needing. I'm fine tuning our grp rom and need something that will work like theme chooser apps but for all my icons and theme. This rom is a public distribution and will need to be up dated regularly. Ninja morph is for individual customization. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Check out desktop visualizer from the market. You can set the icon that shown on the home screens. This is the easiest way I know without changing the image file in the apk.
If you leave an app out, I don't think there is a way to have your icon used.

So, according to my description in the op, this app from market will allow me to add all my custom apps to my rom and then everyone can use the rom with my cutom images/icons?
I believe you can create an icon pack and use desktop visualizer to implement them. The user would have to apply these after d/l and installing your rom. You may check out the EVO forums. Riptide made a glass theme and he may be able to give you better insight.
ok, thanks. I mainly want to them my rom and make my rom available for others. I don't really want an add-on that the user will have to implement themselves.
Use 7zip to change your icons. If you change the icons with the app out of the Rom zip, you will have to resign it. If you Chang it while It's still in the Rom zip, no signing needed.

It sounded like he did not want to include them in the rom flash...

I wanted to include them in the Rom flash. I wanted to include extra ones for apps such as facebook, tweeter, angry birds, etc so that if the user installs those apps my custom icons will be pulled from the drawable rather than the default app icon in the app drawable. Thanks stoney for the tip to avoid resigning.

You probably wont be able to add any, you can change the current ones by editing the apk, signing it then installing it. Once you open up the apk (with 7zip, winrar etc.) look inside the drawable-hdpi folder. Thats probably where the emoticons are kept.
I can help if you need.

Adding icons to whatsapp
Hey Guys has anyone tried adding new icons into the default whatsapp?
Or do the modded versions allow adding additional GIF'S to be added to the instant messenger?
Thanks
yes i have tried it, but it's useless since the recipient of the emoticon should have the "moded" version too, so that he could see the emoticon
Just wanted to add that Ive noticed the Iphone has new icons and I can view them on my phone which dont have those icons :/

I used 'Formatter' to rename (whatsapp) .apk file into .zip did required changes (replaced one .png smiley file) & again renamed it into .apk
But then, I'm not able to install it (even after uninstalling previous version). An error saying 'Application not installed' shows.
How can I modify .apk files (in terms of replacing only the smiley image files) & repack it into proper .apk file so that I'll be able to install it without any error?
Please help me..
thanks

i also want a new smiley, for example a puking smiley
After modifying the apk i think you should resign it to be able to install it
Check zipsigner from the play store

Good idea, but not practical
In order to install an apk, it must be properly signed and with a password that only the developers know. If you own the app though, you will still need to to decompile and recreate the apk structure by turning the directories of the zip into an android structure, since the compiling will change pretty much everything.
Worst part of it all, if you somehow manage to change and install the app, only you will be able to see it since only the apk installed on your phone has those custom emoticons.
Cheers :good:
how do I put emoticons on viber /whatsapp for sell
Just get your friends to use wechat, has all the emos in the world. Whatsapp is crap
Is there any way to install and change font for my note 2 without installing apps like flipfont and others. These kinds of app available on play store have started pushing ads and font app is the last thing that i want to push ads. Please suggest.

download the apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176490....if you are using stock rom from settings, display, font style change the fonts from the list...
You can search for the specific font you like in Google. You will find them as a flashable zip that can be flashed from recovery without the need for an app. (This is assuming you are rooted, not on stock tw based rom) I found "roboto thin" this way
If u want another way, a clean app is "font installer" it will allow you to install fonts from its list as well as saved on your SD card in .TTF format
If looking for fonts in TTF. Format you can find them at website like "font squirrel" for example
