My main frustration with Miui is not being able to theme it myself, I don't like any of those themes in the store.
I applied for designer in their website but my theme has been waiting to be approved by them for like 3 months now.
I've tried several workarounds, like the force close method (Doesn't works for me I'm on Miui 12.0.6 Btw) and the theme editor from playstore (Works but reverts to stock after a while).
EU roms have a fix for this but there's no EU roms for this device, screw MediaTek.
I have root access via magisk and the unofficial twrp as recovery, is there anything I can do to install a theme permanently?

I just looked it up, only works for Miui 11 and is paid.
Also, even though it is restricted, I prefer Miui theme engine, it is very customizable and system wide. That's the main reason I haven't switched to Lineage Os, I've heard custom app icons only apply to launcher in Lineage Os (No custom icon in recents or settings apps tab)
Did you download the Swift Installer? Because it will support every phone after you install it will cost some money but you can download apk
MIUI themes are in MTZ format, You can either import them in theme store, or apply them through an app named "Theme editor for MIUI".
Keep in mind since there's no proper support for third party themes, they get reseted after some time and the phone returns back to stock theme.
So for now either you enjoy your theme for a few hours and it resets, or try to get it on the MIUI Theme store.

Hi. Has someone got Substratum Theme Engine to work on PRA-LX1? I tried to apply overlays , they get compiled properly, but theyre not being applied if i use Layers Manager i can theme for ex. Supersu
Can i get some help? I tried Substratum community on G+, but got no useful information...
I built overlays on my mothers note 4, transfered over the Overlays folder and pushed it into /system/vendor/, all seem to work, apps are themed correctly Now only left is to figure out how to make substratum install overlays directly from the app, without need to use note 4 :/
Does it only theme the apps?

What else does it have to theme? XD I use Swift black for user apps and DarkBloom for Emui apps. We use substratum legacy, so no way to get custom fonts or bootanimations through substratum

I was hoping it could theme System UI..
I recently rooted my Mi A2 and I really wanted to try out some substratum themes, but most of them don't seem to work. Are there any good and compatible themes?
I read that you need to install additional apps on store called Andromeda (its paid apps) so substratums can work on Mi A2

ohh okay, thanks for the info
Hi Mate, had the same problem last week after I rooted my Mi A2, I tried so many themes but most weren't great. Anyway, through A Swift theme I came across this which works perfectly for me. Swift Installer is a fully customisable theming engine which also themes more apps than most with granular control over colours, transparency & accents etc. It's still in beta but it's the only thing that's worked for me so far. Here's a Playstore link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftinstaller
Its easy) install subst theme, apply,reboot.
Go substratum agin /Layers manager /sellect all/ Press button "Layers" ,press "Apply select"

Did it work for you? Because no theme is working for me. I have used substratum in past but now on Pie, it is just pain...
Hi all,
Just updated my XZ1C to Android 9.
I had Substratum with some dark themes installed on Android 8.
I did not read any substratum notes, and just updated to android 9. :facepalm:
Apparently Android needs root now for custom themes to apply.
Is this really the case?
Is the only option to root, to get dark-mode back again?
I can't seem to find custom ROMS which are Pie based.
Only a beta of LineageOS for Android8.

There is Xpie, not that I am recomending it in any way. Loading it looks pretty problematic.
But if you're going to root your phone to load a custom rom, then Substratum will work fine on rooted 9

can't recommend swift installer highly enough on rooted pie, will theme almost any app worth theming black.
edit: you can choose any background and accent you like, i have chosen black and a salmony colour i chose from a colour picker.

do the swift themes work with stock/sony apps e.g. dialer, settings, files, etc.? or only AOSP / custom roms?
there's a fee for the installer app, when downloading the actual themes, is there an additional charge?
thanks!

no dice on the sony apps i'm afraid, with the exception of sony music. there's a full list of supported apps here. it's pretty much all google and AOSP apps and an assortment of other stuff.
re: payment, you pay for the app once and you can configure the theme however you want. so you can rechoose background and accent colours to your heart's content. much less onerous than substratum imo.

Can anybody explain.... How we can enjoy substratum theme engine in miui?? Is there way to make it compatible with miui??? Or have to go for android stock rom???
Substratum doesn't work on MIUI.
Swift Installer partially works on MIUI, 3rd party app theming sometimes work, sometimes doesn't. You have to go for stock ROM

Yaa bro
I have a Redmi K30 with a China Rom and i can't use the Android Q Stock V11 theme to remove the black mask between the 2 selfie cameras. The Themes app won't let me apply the theme. BUT, i edited the theme using MIUI Theme Editor and it works! Open Theme Editor app, browse and select Android Q Stock V11, edit the theme's title, author, and designer info then save the theme. It works on the China rom K30.

This doesn't work anymore. Miui keeps resetting the themes to default after some time and it's utterly annoying. I'm just gonna flash eu rom once the warranty runs out. Plus it only worked in portrait mode, in landscape mode the cutout is still pill-shaped.

Have you gotten any other solution? Because i'm using EU rom and it doesn't have any option to enable the dual punch holes.

How is flashing eu ROM going to help in this case? And what has it to do with the warranty?
