Applied theme won’t stay - Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers

Having a problem with themes.
Downloaded several themes and no matter which I apply (using the Mi theme app) it doesn’t stay for more than an hour or so.
Seems fine, then I don’t use the phone for a while (an hour maybe), I pickup the phone and notice the theme has switched back to the default theme.
Do I have to, somehow, make the new theme the default ?
New to android after a few years away with Apple.

What ROM do you have?

Pure stock, running Android 9, MIUI global 10.3.11.

Having poked around the web for a while, seems to be a common problem. I’m using a theme from the official mi theme store but added the Flight icon pack to it (not from the mi store) using the MIUI theme editor from the play store

This can be less of an issue but most likely the permission if you download the app that has to modify System settings you have to allow it to do so, for example I'm using Poco Launcher and Pixel icon pack also from Play Store and every time I reboot the phone the theme is back to stock because Poco Launcher didn't have allowance to modify System Settings so you need to go to Settings / Permissions / Other Permissions / Modify System Settings there you'll see the list which app can modify default System Settings.

Market titles black, cannot see them

Guys, I have been running deck's latest ICS pb's and Mazwoz's but I have a problem - the Market is "blacked out", like the titles are black and much of the background is, which means I cannot see a names unless I click on the app and it is a real pain. I run LCD Modder Pro and I cannot recall if this was a problem before or is a result of its modded Play Store, but I do know that changing themes within my launcher (Go Launcher) doesnt fix it. Any ideas on how I can get the text back to something like white without losing my modded Market that let's me run my 200dpi setting?
Its a problem with hdpi drawable in your modded market , I believe. You using rujeluss22 market?

Really hate the new play store design

I really don't like the new play store design. First off, I can't see everything from left to right because I guess my phone screen isn't wide enough or maybe the custom dpi i'm using is throwing it off. I know I could turn the phone on it's side and that would solve this problem, but I prefer to keep it vertical. Secondly, I hate having to swipe left and right to scroll through the apps available in each category. I guess I just prefer to old school up and down method. I have tried reverting to version 5.10 with the old school design, but the play store keeps auto updating me to version 6.
Is there any way I can keep this from happening so I can stick with one of the 5.0 versions of the market? I searched around the net and saw a few suggestions, but most of those were a few years old and must not work on lollipop. Is there an updated way to do it? And yes I am rooted if that means anything using either Bliss or Tesla ROM.
Thanks....
Same. Totally sucks. Unfortunately I think we're stuck with it being that it can't function without the auto update. I could be wrong and hope I am because the new UI is a pile of crap.

I don't know what team black out is. If it's a theme then the theme would carry over to a new play store update. All of my themes carry over. It could be a hacked version of the play store you are using which might explain why it doesn't auto update.
EDIT: I found a thread here on XDA that talked about modding the playstore apk by signing it with a different key and that would prevent google from updating it. Problem is, 'm not sure what that means. I'm comfortable with making changes to system apps because I used to do that all the time in the past to theme apps before the theme engines came along, but I have never signed an app with a different key so I don't know what that means. Going to have to do some searches to see if I can figure out how to do it.

"Caping" app silently installed on system

I've just noticed that we have some hidden apps installed on our "pure" Android device. "Caping" is one such app that you won't be able to find anywhere on the phone, even in the system apps, but when you go to the Play store, you can see that you can uninstall that app.
I've noticed the app using the "Action launcher" because it displays it in the app drawer, but the stock Launcher 3 doesn't...
I've been searching for it for a while and just thought that it installed and uninstalled with the Action launcher as bloat, but today I've received a notification from the "Capting" app and that's how I realized that the app is still present and went ahead and deleted the app via notification long press...
I've seen in the Mi A1 forum that Xiaomi installs this app silently on that phone so probably the same happened to us.
There may be more of these hidden, silent apps and if you know of any more, please report here. For everyone else not wanting these hidden apps lurking around their device, feel free to remove it.
I don't see the app using action launcher..
TKDN regulations Working flawless on our country ? ?
not on my phone. I guess it's just Xiaomi automatic installation on the first run. I always clean out every app except the remote since that's the only one I used.
And for others, that Caping app only available on Indonesia region afaik.

I'm from Europe and that's what was weird to me...
Caping (and Babe) is one of the prerequisite apps that every vendor/OEM must have installed on their devices in order to bypass the Indonesian regulation, and since some of Xiaomi devices rom is compiled in their HQ/Server in Indonesia (see about phone, on the compilation date you'll notice the time is in WIB which means Waktu Indonesia Barat or Western Indonesian Time) i guess these apps is pretty much baked on the system.

wait you're serious? are the government want to poison us with stupid and click bait news all day?
This is crazy. Luckily I don't have any installed on my phone...
Just to update. There are a couple of other Xiaomi apps installed on the device not displayed in the app drawer of the stock launcher (Launcher 3) such as the Xiaomi Store and others. I've found them using Lawnchair launcher. Thought this might be useful information for anyone wanting a bloat free phone.
I got my phone from an online Chinese store and its a Global version and it has the Caping app. Uninstalled it already. Any more apps that we should know that shouldn't be there in the first place?

You can uninstall Mi Store and Mi Community also. These three apks are hidden for those who live in India.
Also, there are few telemetry apps that you guys should disable via adb:
/system/app/TelemetryService/TelemetryService.apk=com.qualcomm.qti.haven.telemetry.service
/system/app/Spock/Spock.apk=com.miui.spock

I don't have the store and community installed, just the file manager and remote. Kept the remote and replaced the file manager with Files Go.
What are the functions of the telemetry and spock? Is there a way to remove them without using adb?
Found that Google Indic, Korean and Pinyin Keyboard were installed as well.

Thanks man Right now I'm using miui 9.5.10 on Redmi note 4 I really like this version on global stable ,this is literally the best version after miui 8.2.10 in terms of battery as well as performance,I just want to debloat with some inbulit gapps except Chrome and Gmail, rest of the gapps I literally don't use should I debloat this rom miui 9.5.10 or either use xiaomi.eu version 9.5.10 for my Redmi note 4 cause their might be some issues or problems after maybe uninstalling inbulit apps and also will I get better battery life If I use xiaomi.eu since it doesn't have any inbulit gapps and I'll download only those gapps that I use!
Thks in advance

It's working for me in WhatsApp and VLC.
If you are using pip checker apps they may not work because they check if your Android version is > 8.0. But MIUI has implemented it in version 10 regardless of Android version.

Dark theme for apps in Android 10

Am I the only one facing issues with the Android 10 dark theme not working on multiple number of google and other apps?
I have been reading articles about how changing the system wide theme to dark changes many apps into dark mode as well. Like Google, Discover Feed, Gmail, Play Store and Instagram(from today on wards).
But none of those have changed into dark mode for me. I have changed the system wide theme to 'dark' and wallpaper as well and restarted the phone as well but no changes yet.
If anyone knows the solution kindly let me know.

To my understanding, the apps have to have built-in support for the dark theme/mode. Google is gradually rolling out the updates for its apps, including the Google app, Gmail and Play Store. I got the update for the Google app, which now fully supports the dark mode for all conponents (Discover feed, Assistant, Search), but not for Gmail (even though I am on Gmail beta program) or Play Store yet. So, I guess this will take some time to complete the rollout...
