MiUi new theming policy - Nexus 4 General

http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/new-miui-theme-policy-effective-from-may-1-2013.19973/
Important notice from Xiaomi
As more and more themes become developed for MIUI, we need to further ensure the copyrights of the designers to continue an environment conducive to both MIUI and the designers. Furthermore, as we are working on a platform to allow international designers to get paid for their theme designs, this new policy will help to protect the designer's design and instigate more quality themes . To do so, MIUI has decided to change some of the theme policies.
Please note, as of May 1st, the following policy will be fully enforced: All MIUI themes and theme components, in mtz file format, will need to be uploaded onto the MIUI themes (upload via designer.xiaomi.com). Any MIUI theme and theme components (i.e. download from forums, websites or other sources) that does not get uploaded into the MIUI theme apk, can no longer be applied onto the MIUI ROM. To specify, components in an mtz file format can include:
- Theme
- Lockscreen
- Icon
- Font
- Boot animation
- Avatars
If you are a designer and have current themes you want to share after May 1st please sign up for a designer.xiaomi.com account and upload your themes to the MIUI Themes apk.
I'm sorry I could be very off on this but to me this sounds like they are going to digitally sign themes and block sideloading

Perhaps. I doubt it will stop people, they'll just find workarounds & exploits.

Has any work around been found yet?

I remember at some point, can't remember when, maybe when V4 was still a little new, so I had a SGS2 at the time, they just introduced the forced login to their Xiaomi account to apply themes, even free ones.
Well, some modified versions of the theme apk appeared quite quickly to allow to apply them without login in.
So I guess something will be done about that too.

I've owned a couple of smartphones, but there has never been official support for all these devices I've owned. There was a shabby port for i9000 but it sucked and was borked.
Not to mention it comes in only a few languages.
So what is MIUI?

Just goes to shoe what kind of company MIUI is, I hope they continue carrying on what they're doing, then miui users will certainly see what most of saw a long time ago! Selfish thieves.

This rom is a modification of stock MIUI 12.31.0 featuring updated/removed apps, wallpapers, themed widgets and more. It is currently in testing stage.

This is a early rom, some things may not work (however I have had no issues thus far) Please do not whine if something does not work, instead explain what is not working, use screenshots if possible (menu+volume down) and let me know if you can replicate the issue.

1. A lot of people have been having problems with MIUI Releases hotfixes come out but do not get added to the roms.
2. A lot of people use launcher pro along with MIUI this saves them a step
3. People don't like ads, especially not ones that take up half of the screen on certain websites.
4. MIUI is a testing rom, by removing/replacing the broken applications and aspects of the rom people can have a stable, minimal MIUI.
5. I am bored, seriously this is a big reason. I decided to get bored and start customizing a rom to my liking, I feel others may like it as well... some will some will not.
6. Some people that I personally know have had friends of theirs root there phone and install a rom for them and were uncomfortable using recovery to flash hotfixes so their friends (usually me) than hotfix the phones, update it to the way they want, etc... its a time waster to have to do updates after every new update to MIUI this one will be updated after all the hotfixes for the roms are out.
7. Why not?
Thank you! I love this rom

TBH, I've never tried MIUI on the Inc. It used to be my rom of choice on my Nexus One. So I had no idea that all these apps were broken, so that makes sense to remove them. But why remove the notifications? That;s what threw me off.

Just the notification tones. I find most people use custom tones. I will most likely release a version without them removed.
I know this is kind of noob question but I'm going to ask anyway. Can you change themes like other Miui roms? Thank you for your time.

I leave miui and all of a sudden there are people releasing miui roms for the Incredible. Where was everyone when I was asking for help cuz I was getting burnt out with weekly releases?
Good job tho...
When I return to miui (maybe when they move to gingerbread) I hope people don't disappear

I actually started this while you were working on 12.18 I think it was, didn't have enough time to get it all sorted out before the 12.24 release, which I found too buggy to work with. 12.31 is great though!
It seems like everyone is releasing very stock roms though. I am trying to slim them down a bit and give MIUI noobs a place to start.
You are a hero to us all n_i_x!
Thank you embrace for your hard work.and yes, nix please come back.i love the incredible dev community.

Alarm clock?
Just curious why you removed the clock app? There is no way to set an alarm without it right (short of downloading another alarm app of course)?
I like the minimialist design, but personally I would like to have that + the ringtones (or at least some option besides the obnoxious 'rave' one.)

Not very nice... I was pretty quiet when you used my work in the RC Mix Thread, but this here is a real joke.
1. You highjacked my complete code from Revolution Theme, that took me countless hours
2. You used the idea from my screenshots of Honey HD in various threads
3. You used complete framework, HTC resources and systemui from my Revolution Theme and only changed a few png
4. You used my inverted facebook and gmail plus other apps incl Twitter, where you did not even try to change the green highlights against Honeycomb blue
5. You even left my green highlights and progressbar from Revolution Theme
6. You left Revolution green menu and green headlines, which do not really match
I could go on like this more and more. All other guys here ask when they need something and they will confirm, that they get all info incl. Detailed instruction for codes. You never asked, just grabbed my work and sold it as yours and never asked. I certainly see that small credit, but that really does not explain, what happens here. So whoever knows Revolution Theme, just flash this here and you will see. Who knows coding, download both themes, compare and you will see what I'm talking about.

You can sent a pm to this Guy Captainkrtek....
He is responsible for these issues here in xda....
He contacted me when i opened about 3 months before THIS THREAD, in which i'm explaining what exactly happened when liamstears suddenly took all my themed apps (about 70 of them) and all my icons from framework-res.apk an com.htc.resources.apk of my Mixed_Theme and he made his theme with name Theme Animation 3.6.0...
I think some people want the Glory without working at all......
That will never stop....
P.S. I am themer too, and i have a very very good cooperation with he_stheone64.... I have used many of his code, but after i asked him, after he consulted me and of course i gave him all the GREDITS he deserves for his very very hard work he made in coding, in .xml files......
So i have to say that he_stheone64 is one of the best people i have met here in xda and he is surely the OpenSource guy, as he shares his work with anyone he ask him.... So after a research all he wrote here are all true, as i compared this theme with he_stheone64's Revolution Theme and all i have to say is that this theme is the same (so it's obviously a highjacked theme) with he_stheone64's Revolution Theme with very little exceptions....
So my proposion to everyone he want to THEME.... Make your OWN WORK... This is the rule... and don't forget that OpenSource has still copyrights....

Your answer proves your character... in any case leaving all my green stuff does not proof you are smart anyway and dark menu with green besides hundreds of other png is coincidence. Oh - and please explain all steps, how you inverted gmail and why you did that in the same minute as me?
Your behaviour really sucks and for me everything would have been fine with a short apology, but you really missed that chance with your childish comment and bad manners.

Sharing yes, stealing no. In any case Honeycomb is not green, so obviously you have been a bit lazy... But since I soon release my completely blue version, just go ahead and take what you need from there, since you will do that anyway. Why learn coding and designing with Illustrator and PhotoShop, if grabbing my work is so much easier...

But it's HUGE different between that and taking someone's else work without even asking....

I have nothing else to say... cause probably you just don't understand the differences between Open Source and when taking most of someone's else work without even ask the person from which you took almost all codes.....
It`s more than awfull!!! Man Don`t say Android is OpenSource cause OpenSource is one thing and good behaviour second one ... I`m more than sure U want be able to make those tricks without he_stheone or others themers help... Shame on U ... Just took code and paste it into Yours? Nice ... This thread should be closed ...

He_stheone... You are right, it is your work. Could you make a version compatible with the rcmix roms. You could do it once then give permissions to someone to upgrade for different versions. I had the full version of this when using a mike Rom, but all I get is force closes. But the look was awesome, just as you intended. This version detracts little. It's s part copy dude, needs finishing.
Kalagas, you are legend as well.
Thank you both for your contributions. Please keep going.

It`s ready since a week and my friends Thyrus and segelfreund have the Beta since quite a while on their DHD. That theme is completely independent and coded for blue and appr. 1000 different pngs in order to have a true Honeycomb experience. The popups are also all dark with that nice glow and all AOSP widgets have the same glow plus HTC widgets are square. The only reason I did not relase it yet are FC issues with RCMix and the upcoming final Gingerbread, so I want to avoid porting 3 themes at the same time on too many leaked versions.
Wow, that sucks dude, did not know, cheers to you then!!!

[REQ] UINique HD Port

Alright, people keep calling MIUI a iPhone clone, but I beg to differ. However, when I had my iPod touch, I jailbroke and used this theme. I was wondering if someone could make an .mtz for it, since I've missed it for a while. It was the theme I kept going back to when I changed themes on that thing lol. Its called UINique. If someone could make this, I'd love you forever.
Also, here's a video showcasing it

MiUi-Like CM7 T-Mobile theme Chooser

Hey guys I just wanted to share my ideas for the t-mobile theme Chooser in cm7 roms.
Basically I have this idea of letting the user choose some aspects of a theme they want and do not want.
Say you like the statusbar from this theme, but you don't like the looks of the icons, this would make it so that you could choose the icons from another theme without the hassle of always going on a PC and moving stuff with 7zip.
It would also be cool if it was possible to easily change the colors of some elements like the fonts, bgcolor, highlights and other stuff.
I just wanted to share this in case any of the devs would is interested in making this happen, or is it even possible? I find no reason for it not to be. I heard it was in MiUi(hence the title) although I can't be so sure since I've never used MiUi.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought of this, I just couldn't find a thread about it.
Well, thanks for your time

As MIUI are going open source there is no reason why CM9 may actually include the MIUI theme system the same way the CM team implemented Theme Chooser when it was open sourced by T-Mobile.
Although Cyanogen Mod feature suggestions may be more likely to be seen by a dev on their own forums.

So far, hasn't MIUI just made their Apps open source?
That's cool, but would the MiUi theme engine work well with legacy devices?

Lets be honest here. In my opinion that app aint no good for me.. For one that is because for me it still doesnt support android 6.0 emui 4 and second I rather work on themes on PC. Other people might think this app is worth their time, I dont. The UI of the app is alright but for some reason it constantly undos changes. People in the Play store had the same issues and the devs said multiple times that they supposedly had fixed all the issues but theres still some remaining. I rated this app 3 stars because its idea is good but what they did of it isnt a finished product.

Well Buddy I did this for people on EMUI below 4 but its my fault that I didn't mention that. Aside from that when it comes to PC theming idk if everyone is able to theme on PCs cz after all somr people don't own one.
Thank u for ur collaboration and for your honest comment. Criticism always helps me improve my work
