Question Themes App missing - Xiaomi Mi Pad 5

Hey! curious if I am not the only one w/ this issue, or better yet what to do to fix this. Just bought this Tablet recently and I cannot find the Themes App, I tried installing it and it was successful but the app is no where to be found. If you navigate to Settings|Apps|Manage Apps you can find it installed. Has anyone encountered this issue?

No themes engine in this rom, this version of Miui its a little bit different, it's the first one optimized for tablet's

I can install and set themes (mtz format) using quickshortcutmaker and MIUI theme editor but resets to default after an hour or so

There is no official support of themes by xiaomi on any model of mi pad starting from 2014 the first mi pad to 2022 mi pad 5
So, no luck on that one

TOP ELEVEN is not compatible?

Hi.
I've just bought a LG G Pad. Quite pleased with it so far...
However, the Play Store doesn't allow me to install top eleven which is quite hard to understand since I'm with the latest 4.2.2 official ROM and I've played TOP ELEVEN in any device with 4.2.2
Can anyone help me to sort how to install the game on my G PAD?
I was looking for a solution that allowed my to stay with the official ROM or, at least, a cooked one that used the LG laucher, since I do wnjoy the looks of it.
Thanks in advance
Doesn't work on tablets. Is my 3rd tablet and dont work on any.

[Q] Turn the v500 into a v510 (Google Play Edition)

Hi!
I'm planning on buying the LG G Pad 8.3, but I live in Brazil and the Google Play Edition isn't available here. However, I really love the simple UI and clean software-design from Google (I have a Moto G, as well) and I've alson seen some people saying that, sometimes, there are a few performance issues with the G Pad that isn't the Google Play Edition due to, mainly, LG's bloats. I'd like to know whether it's possible to flash the stock ROM (download it from somewhere) and, basically, turn the v500 into the v510 (GPe). So, is it possible? If it is, is it also necessary to change the kernel? And, if so, has anyone done it before / could it brick the tablet? I'd like to buy one soon, because of the price and good specs, but I'm not keen on the software-design by LG and I'd like to have a "original" system running on it, not some modified/customized cyanogen stuff (although, if that's my only option to a better performance, I'd probably choose it).
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
You can simply install CM11 + gapps, you've got something close to GPE.
Hahaha...you need to root the G Pad to install stock Android ROM. Maybe You can find the stock ROM here on xda developer...but root the device first.

Right...
The only problem I've encountered is not finding the Stock ROM from the Google Play edition... And I've seen the CM11 based version, I just don't like the setting menu from CM11, but maybe I'll do that. The main thing I want is the virtual button to show the recent apps that is simply non existant on the non-GPe edition!

On stock ROM : long press home button !
I know that, I've seen some videos about it already... But I don't like it and it's a functionality that Google has considered obsolete since Android 3.0 and, for some stupid reason, LG and their GREAT software-designers still implement it. They really should follow Motorola on this regard, as they are releasing new phones with no bloat at all, using basically what would be a Nexus version of their phones.
P.S.: FOUND A TOPIC ABOUT THIS IN GENERAL FORUM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51834016
Basically, it doesn't work due to small hardware differences (WiFi and Bluetooth seem to fail after flashing the v510 stock ROM). However, I believe an AOSP ROM is still an option for better performance.

I cannot begin to imagine why that is desirable, where everyone would have the same phone experience. Very boring.
In any case I agree that LG has done some GREAT stuff with the software. If you buy a G Pad, you will see for yourself.
How do we install CM11 + gapps? There is no playstore app?

can't activate new watchfaces after update

Hello together,
I've updated the new lest MI fit app (4.0.8) and updated also the firmware of my MI band 4 (1.0.6.12).
Now I can't change my watchfaces which I downloaded in the app "MiBand4 - Watchfaces"
Before the update everything worked fine..
Does anyone has a solution?
Backup your watch faces, uninstall Mi Fit, install 4.0.7 version, do not update it If you want animated watch faces, you probably need to downgrade FW as well (N&F app might help here).
More detailed guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/miband/comments/d0fxw6/mi_band_4_no_more_custom_watchfaces/
Or you can just use N&F for watch face upload and wait for Mi Fit fix (which hopefully won't take too long)..
Thank you
Actually there is no need for FW downgrade, watch faces/FW still support animations, animation speed just has to be at least "4" (at least with the watch face I tried to modify). Authors of broken watch faces will probably fix them sooner or later.
Please see the solution - https://www.reddit.com/r/miband/com...ifit/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Please help decide - MiUI dialer and messaging on PM2pro vs RN9proMax

Hi All
I have ordered Poco M2 pro recently (6/64) at a pre-exchange price of 12339 INR (Post exchange 11339)
I have the option to order Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (6/64) at approx. 12610 INR (Same phone not available for exchange here)
Two main questions and opinions I need from you please:
1) How much better is the Redmi note 9 pro max camera compared to Poco M2 pro? Is it worth spending extra for Redmi Note 9 pro max over Poco M2 pro?
2) Although, noone is mentioned it specifically, looking at some of the videos in youtube of Redmi Note 9 pro max post MiUI 12 update, it seems it retains the Mi dialer and messaging app. Is it correct or it also loses these and gets the google dialer and messaging apps? I guess Poco gets updated to google dialer and messaging apps. Please clarify on this. It is important for me to be able to use Mi dialer and messaging apps.
I am not much concerned about ads as I will anyway debloat both using MIUI debloater and disable all ads.
Please help decide which one I should go for.
Any other difference or something which I should consider?
Also, is there a known reliable way to install the Mi dialer and messaging apps on Poco M2 pro without rooting?
My device is updated to miui 12 and i don't think its on Google's dialer and message app..
Why it'll update to google dialer?? When it has its own OS..
Check SS below poco m2 pro
Probably you are not aware that all xiaomi, redmi, realme, oneplus new devices are coming with google dialer and messaging apps instead of their own dialers and messaging apps to comply with some european regulations. Only some country specific roms like that of indonesia retain miui dialer and messaging apps. Xiaomi has officially confirmed this will continue in future also. I saw review videos of poco m2 pro miui 12 update on youtube and the dialer and messaging apps have changed to google after the update.
You are using the stock rom or any custom miui rom? @abhi.s4u

Yes. Thanks for clarifying. Good to know m2 pro is not losing mi dialer. Recently launched poco x3 comes with google dialer in Indian also.
One more question. How is the speaker and headset audio quality. Heard some bad reviews about audio quality of m2 pro.
Neither its bad nor its good.. in the budget its okey..
One or two times i face earfone jack issue i mean sound didn't come in the earfone when plugged in..
Well its just random after restart its okey..

Question OnePlus Launcher

Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but anyone know if it's possible to install the OnePlus launcher on the Pixel 6 Pro? I successfully installed, but it refused to load, even one install that was reported to work on any Android phone. I'm using ProtonAOSP with gapps.
I bought a Pixel 6 Pro out of love for its superior night camera which is fabulous for catching northern lights here in Alaska, but I absolutely love the OxygenOS launcher on my OnePlus 8 Pro. It's a weird request, I know.
All I have to say is,"why?"
Coming from One+ and Samsung..... All users flash roms to come to a Pixel UI and you want a OP launcher on a Pixel? I'm stumped
I'd recommend Nova7 as it's a better fit for phones than OP launcher.
If it's a tinkering matter I totally understand,but, OP on Pixel?
You can also try lawnchair launcher 12. I was missing a few things after moving from 1+ 8 pro to P6 but lawnchair did the trick for me. Basically a pixel launcher with some more customization.

Which features exactly are you looking for?
There are several available launchers on a Pixel, I can't think of any feature set that OP has that is not available, since you can customize about anything, including icons and how animations/gestures work.
As others have said. What's the point?
Anyway, installing the APK will not be sufficient as the OnePlus launcher also relies on a number of native libraries.
You will need figure out exactly which libraries and make them available in /system/lib(64) via a Magisk module.
Too much hassle for what ...
Specifically, I really like this one touch close all apps button. It's a good visual decluttering for me versus memory issue. If I feel overwhelmed by everything I have open, tap the one button and it all feels clean again.

I'll give it a look.
Closing the apps in that way is not recommended and actually worsens battery use. Doesn't do anything for memory use either really as the phone has plenty and manages it well enough. This is why it has been gotten rid of in later versions of Android.

And if you're rooted with lawn chair just use quick switch in magisk and you'll have all you need.

Eh, I charge it enough. It really is more of a psychological visual decluttering for me. I know, it's really best to let Android manage your open apps.

I remember using this on my pixel 2xl. Hasn't been updated in a minute though but it will do the job
One thing i like most about One plus launcher is to hide apps with fingerprint.
Left swipe to reveal but with fingerprint.
Is there any launcher which has this feature?
Check out Ruthless Launcher
Google Play Link
It has a clear all button on the left most page of the app switcher.
Also has app locker function with fingerprint unlock.
Dev is really responsive on Telegram and the app receives frequent updates.
It's customisable - app icons support, grid options etc, loads of features including At-A-Glance and Google Feed etc. Been using it for a few years now.
