Hi guys, I've just bought a 9t and is my first MIUI phone. Looking into the themes app I've seen that is possible to use modules from different themes to create a sort of mashup. I was wondering if it was possible to create one from nothing. I made some online researches and I've seen that there are apks, but I'd like to create one from PC. So, I discovered the xiaomi designer site and i downloaded the software, however, this one is half english and half chinese, so I can't understand how it works. I've also searched here on xda, but I didn't find something (maybe it's my fault, i get easily lost in an high number of threads). What I'm asking you for is to clarify me if there is a way to make themes on PC and where I should start. Thank you for your attention and your kindness

Hey all,
Recently purchased a Touch Diamond and have been heavily modifying the software/rom over the past few days. I'd first like to thank everyone who has contributed! There is such much information out there that it's sometimes hard to disseminate it all for new users.
In any case I have done a lot of extensive searching for this question and I've found a possible solution but only leads to more questions for me. Here's my question, how can I customize the application which is launched when I tap the clock on the TF3D home screen?
Through searching I've found I might have been able to edit manila.xml (26948339_manila) but couldn't find anything specific to application launching in that file. I also found reference to using something called "SSMaP" but was unable to find any further information regarding this application via the forums of google.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
-Mike

Hi there,
Please don't shoot me down if the info I'm asking for her is already on the forums but I've been trying to find it for ages.
I saw a picture of Asus lamborghini ZX1 a while ago and wondered whether I cold get the same theme on my XDA Orbit. The closest I've found is someone else on here who's started to make one that can be loaded using the M2D software.
What I'd like to do is try to create my own. I've looked all over the place but can't find any help on how to do it. Can anyone direct me towards a website explaining how to create themes that I can install using the M2D software?
This might be a simple question but I just cant find it anywhere.
Cheers,
YP

Unfortunately it is not as simple as throwing some .png and .jpg files into a ThemeGen and out pops a theme. It is, sometimes tedious, editing of xml files. For a better understanding look here.

Hi all,
I inherited an old Orange SPV m500, and found this forum while searching for a way to unlock it from Orange. It worked and was very helpful, so you have my thanks for that!
Then I see all this skinning business and I would love to customise the phone a bit more; there's several things I'd like to do including installing a bigger dialler, a better 'homepage', etc, etc. So I went ahead and installed what seemed to be the latest ROM I could use (the WWE_O3 Cottula rom, which is the last one with a working camera from the looks of it - I need the camera). That's all fine and dandy and worked nicely (although it often tells me I've just inserted a memory card when I haven't).
However, all this extra software is an absolute mystery. It's all circular references which isn't helped by the lack of clear English (no offence, I know it's not everybody's mother tongue). I simply can't seem to find a start point that explains what software does what, how to install it, etc. All the threads seem to assume that you already know the software and what it does. Even the 'wiki' for the magician is limited to descriptions of upgrading the ROM. JMLToday Touchflo Manilla 3d 2d etc. etc.
I don't have a very modern device, so I don't expect to be able to install all of the latest whizzbangs on it, and to be honest I don't need a huge bundle of features, but I'd love to make my phone easier and faster to use and I know you guys have put huge effort into software to do just that. I just can't figure out what I need or how to go about getting it.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome to the forum xobby. First of all xda-developers is mainly a technical forum to help in upgrading and tweaking your device. There may be threads involving applications but , like you said, it's not very organized. So the first thing you have to do is use the search function to look for what you are looking for. If you can't find anything then you might ask nicely from the members in the forum for help. If you are looking for specific applications then there are other sites that is more suited for searching for applications.
I would suggest that you do a general search of the internet for programs, skins, etc that you would like to install in your unit and where to download them. It requires a lot of searching and looking I know but that is just the way it is.
Good luck!
By the way. Since you upgraded to WM6.1 by Cotulla, you will have no problem installing almost all of the newest applications available for windows mobile the same as those for the newer more expensive phones.

Hello all =)

why don't we open a threat where every body that knows some thing about the " SELF DESIGN " of the device, will share his knowledge about it ...
like what soft have to be used ...
what files should be changed ...
what script should we know ...
well all the "what" and "how" Q. about self Design you can ask here =)
all that know and understand some thing about it, hopefully will help us
please be kind and share with us this powerful knowledge
well my question\s is\are:
1) how do i change my icon set on the panel \ on the start manu
( how it works .. what should i know about changing it )
2) what script is used to design\make some thing...
( how can i understand it ).

| thanks a lot ahead for those who will help =) |

I think this is generally a good idea, but I think there is so much material out there already, some people won't like it and instead they will shout "SEARCH!".
Having said that, I would like to be able to design my own skins (like Laskartheme's), but haven't got the faintest idea of where to start.
I don't know the answer to question 2, but for question 1 see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589459&highlight=compact+framework. You need to install Compact Framework 3.5 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en).
If you have any issues, this thread helped me quite a lot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597806&highlight=icon.
HTH!
SEARCH!
Joking, but the point is that this forum is literally made of that, wilth thousand of such threads. Having everybody give their own, different opinion, you'd just end with a huuuuge thread where no 2 answers are the same and nothing can be found, and essentially only repeats what's already there. Everybody likes his device his own way, so what they have to do is browse the tons of mods themselves and decide which ones they want to use.
Then if you have specific questions, ask them.
For what you're asking about have a look in the themes&apps subforums, some icon packs, taskbars etc are there, also look for HDWall (in my signature) that lets you make a custom tab bar.
hello people of XDA, like reading then you may realize that I am totally newbie at this I am ready to learn and research more about what modifications and improvements I can do to my phone (GS4 - GT-i9500).
well let me know if there are any programs you see everything that is installed on the device, so I can show you and to ask that I should uninstall so you can optimize to the maximum that you can get.
I want to remove the programs and games are coming from the seller (CLARO-PERU) do not use them and every time I see the processes, are active consuming RAM.
well also let me know about a problem that pops up every time I restart my phone, a message saying "unfortunately, TouchWiz home has stopped" it appeared to me days after an OS update, I found a tutorial that told me that things change but I could solve anything because the phone is not unlocked because on the Internet there are a lot of tutorials and none of them resolved my doubts.
and in the future I would like to modify and design if possible the telephone interface as there are things I would like to change as a graphic designer I am.
and in the future I would like to modify and design if possible the telephone interface as there are things I would like to change as a graphic designer I am. and share with you the changes I want to do.
well my first problem I would like to resolve would be how to unlock my phone to desintlar things that come from the vendor and then if someone can recommend how you can alter the colors of the notification LED.
I hope what I wrote to be understandable and would be grateful any information and help you can give me, I hope my grammar is not as ugly as I think.
THX for all

You might get a better response if you post in the right forum. This is the forum for the Galaxy S4 Active (i537, i9525), the forum you are looking for is for the Galaxy S4 (i9500, i9505, i9505G). Try searching and posting in that forum and you might have better luck.
