Hi there!
I am running a rooted Redmi 7, MIUI 10 with stock ROM. I'm trying to install a 3rd-party theme onto my device.
My best bet so far has been Theme Editor for MIUI, but this app includes the reset bug, in which after 15 mins – 3 hours, the theme will disable and will disappear from the stock Themes app─if I try and import it, instead of giving the standard 'you can't apply 3rd-party Themes' error, it gives me null.
I've tried https: Mi Rape, but when you attempt to apply the packed .mtz, it redirects you straight to stock Themes, and then the same aforementioned bug occurs.
Then, I tried Theme Changer, but even after changing the .mtz to a .zip, it couldn't identify the theme.
My last attempt has been Theme Swap/My Themer, but the Redmi 7 doesn't appear to be supported and, in the app, the .mtz is greyed out.
Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do?
-I'd rather not use methods requiring a Custom ROM
-I don't mind root-requiring methods.
Thanks.

Sony Ericsson was wonderful enough to include a stock theme chooser in our Xperia Plays so I have wondered why are we not customizing them? I see no threads about this at all or where we can share themes for our stock manager so I wanted to start one.
The process of customizing the stock theme manager is very simple and can be done by swapping out pngs within the DefaultThemes.apk. (Simply unzip, swap pics, & rezip)The images are located in "res/drawable-hdpi" folder.These "themes" are not full themes but instead they only affect the background of the dialer, contacts, alarms, calculator, stock messaging app, stock calendar, settings, & music app, & can be used with other themes (i.e ICS).
I do not know how to change the name of the preview images in manager (i.e. Fluorite, orchid, ruby, flow, sunflower, onyx ,& willow) as of yet, but I think I need to edit xml to change this. I would like to get some feedback on this and hope someone will enjoy the customized themes I made. (I have only replaced the stock images so I did not create the wallpapers or images.)
To install this:
1. Your phone must be ROOTED and you should have Root Explorer app(or other Root browser) from market.
2. You should make a backup of your phones DefaultThemes.apk file that is found in System/app folder (but I have included it to download also if you like)
3. You need to change permissions of the file before you move it into its folder. (Picture is included to show the correct permissions)
4. Lastly replace file and reboot phone. Once rebooted you should have new themes (modified themes) in stock theme manager.
Many Screenshots are below. Again...Feedback is appreciated
There are 2 customized versions and the original SE 2.3.4 Default Themes apk. Basically 14 new themes here.
V.2 Custom Themes http://db.tt/oO3RykwG
V. 3 Custom Themes http://db.tt/7YFiAdd7
And Sony Ericsson Stock Original http://db.tt/oWxJ87dU
If dropbox links are not working let me know and I will re-create links or find another way to share.
Got your PM mate, wow thanks I was actually looking for this last week haha will check it out properly later but is bookmarked for now
Jinx13
No problem. I figure there are some really good themes posted here like ICS, Galaxy s2, & someone even just did motoblur. They all put in a lot of work & they came out great.(I use ICS personally). So I thought if I made custom themes for the manager it makes them look even better imo. If you have some images that you want to add or suggestions let me know & ill see what I can do.

Is there any way to use third party fonts and themes (.mkz) files in redmi 1s official theme app.
Everytime I try apply third party themes, it says 'third party themes are not supported'.

Yes there is... The same way like for Mi2s. Same procedure - install WSM Tools and MiThemes (find tutorial, dunno where it is ).
For my daughterś phone it works like a charm.

Thanks for your advice.
I tried it on my redmi 1s, it worked fine first, but after 15-20 minutes, My phone reboots automatically, so I uninstalled wsm framework
I am not an expert so I will not answer questions, but I was trying to make the new saturn super wallpaper work and it could not work so I share the method that worked for me, Use the Lucky patcher as an installer since I was skipping the error that I could not install system applications from unofficial sources, with the lucky patcher the app is installed correctly and you can now select the new super wallpaper along with those of earth and mars. https://bit.ly/33VepWP
I have:
Mi 9T Pro / redmi K20 Pro
MIUI 12 v12.0.3.0
Unlocked bootloader
Rooted device with magisk
Fully functional MOD EDIT: Content Removed
https://bit.ly/33VepWP
I also share my method. You can also try Mixplorer is you have. Allow root on settings and then highlight select the saturn apk, tap the three dot menu, then select install. It will install as root and you can now use saturn superwallpapers
on my miui.eu, I just installed and restarted. The file I got on YouTube I don't know if it's the same.
Also you can unlock installing system applications from unofficial sources. Just type in terminal setprop persist.sys.allow_sys_app_update 1
Unfortunately not working for me, black screen...

I found some magisk modules on Mi pad 5 group on telegram but it didn't work. May there's something else to get it work.

I've done it without rooting. It kinda works, main widget (weather + clock) is either too small or too big, also doesnt work on landscape mode, you will have problems in lockscreen etc.
I used miui theme kit apk to install theme and another app from play store that reveals hidden system apps shortcuts. App is there, it's just hidden, you can do some thing like get back to default theme.
That's a dissapointment because main reason i bought this pad is theme customisation. Most of MIUI features doesn't work here.
Check this out once https://t.me/redmipadofficial/1942 after u got root just flash this zip file which enables you to import and flash custom themes/fonts/wallpaper of your choice
You can get custom themes files from other Xiaomi device or from Google search miui themes then download the Mtz theme file and then
U have two ways to open this app,after u flash this magisk module u will not see any difference and can't see themes app in app drawer
1. Go to setting then in wallpaper and here u go with moded themes app
2. In steps -
long press on home screen ..choose wallpaper
top right ..choose themes icon
my account
themes .. import .. choose mtz files
apply and reboot once.
[Yeah, this mod themes app is taken from China miui Android phone rom hence it doesn't support landscape mode, bellow is the screen shot... Personaly I didn't found any good theme so I didn't flash any now but still good to have option in case u want to...]

I've tried this before and it would t work. I've seen the themes app is hidden but it will not open I receive the message it's not supported in your region. Changing the region doesn't help.

Will also suggest to try coustomiuizer 13 and Monet miui, allows you lot of customisation but one warnings don't mess up with charging animation... I messed once with lspossed wave apk from then on I am not able to find single method to get back to orginal charging animation... So now have to use that lsposed wave charging animation to hide stock crupted charging animation...
Otherwise everything works better than what miui gives...

I use customiuizer which is great. I will check out monet miui. All I really need now to make this perfect is to be able to change the grid size to utilise the full homescreen. Thanks.

There is no way to use both windows and Mac version of theme editor program. You need unlocked bootloader and china rom or xiaomi.eu. it needs to access data/data folder and that's not allowed on global official roms.
It's really frustrating, I know, even because in theme developers telegram group they are promising an English version, with global MIUI support, since the MIUI 13 release..
