If anyone having a trouble with Icons resized to Larger & Tiny icons and white background boarders on Icons then u should follow these steps to Fix It!
For me this happened with Default themes of MiUi 9 for no reason at all (method will even work for Miui 8) :fingers-crossed:
1. Download MiUi Theme Editor from Playstore
2. Download the attachment for Icon Size issue > Limitless Fixed.mtz
or
Download the attachment for White Background issue > Full_Transparent_Bg.mtz
3. Open the Miui Theme Editor and Browse the downloaded theme Limitless Fixed.mtz or Full_Transparent_Bg.mtz, tap the Next button, tap the Finish Button and press OK
4. Open Themes and Find the theme from list n Apply the Exported theme (which we have build in prev step)
Now the icon/white boarder problem Must be fixed !
Checkout the screens to visually know what the white background and icon large/tiny issue
Note: I think Limitless Fixed.mtz will fix both icon size and white background issues
Source & Credits: en.miui.com for main source & shahriar.ahmed for fixing and providing my fav theme limitless & cincin27 for fixing n providing white background
Installing 3rd Party Themes is still Possible
I've heard and experienced that 3rd party themes are no longer be installed by importing to Themes app even though you are a beta theme designer
This method works and its the same as above method
1. Download MiUi Theme Editor from Playstore
2. Download ur 3rd party themes from Mi forums or anywhere
3. Open the Miui Theme Editor and Browse the downloaded theme, tap the Next button, tap the Finish Button and press OK
4. Open Themes and Find the theme from list n Apply
Many of you may know this but having a tut is always a better thing
Good work...

New to themer and i can't find anything in a search to help me swap out an icon in my dock. Looks like the dock is set up using Everything Widget. I deleted the icon and wanted to add a new one but my options were limited. Can anyone link me to some good threads to walk me through this process? Struggling to find anything on my own.
The theme is Nightscape.
Thanks for sharing such a great information its really informative and intersting . i m looking forward to see more update like that Thanks once again.

Hi,
Some themes use fonts instead of icons to make porting the theme to other phones. Nightscape is one of those themes that use a widget instead of icons. To change an 'icon', try this:
1. Long press on the widget - Advanced - Unlock Widgets.
2. Long press on the widget again - Configure.
3. Use the blue slider on the left to drag the configuration box up.
4. Select an icon, such as the chat bubble - Text - Set Text.
5. Change it to another letter (use this link for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704935) - tap back.
6. Text - Hotspot - Change it accordingly - tap back - exit the widget - Lock Widgets into place.
You're welcome to add in bitmap images instead of the font method, but these fonts produce the highest quality as well as many other useful applications. For more info check out our video tutorials, especially the Music one: http://bit.ly/ThemerVideos. If you need any more help just let us know!

Thanks! Worked like a charm.
I've noticed my Mi Pad 2 running MIUI 8.5 has this ugly white frame (certainly a poor design choice from Xiaomi's under-qualified design director). I can use a different launcher but when the share menu (for example if I like to share a Youtube video on Facebook) pops up, the icons on the menu still have this ugly white frame (and the icons look very tiny as the result). I tried using the theme manager (link: http://en.miui.com/thread-563883-1-1.html) and it does not show any theme in the store (because there is no theme for Mi Pad 2) and I tried to import themes (.mtz files) via both theme manager or theme editor (link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixapplications.miuithemeeditor), but when I chose the theme, the theme manager will show an alert and tells me it has failed (likely because the theme doesn't work on a tablet or because they are designed for the ARM architecture). Is there a workaround to this?
Turns out you can download this ROM here (http://en.miui.com/thread-358607-1-1.html), it does not have any frame. Use DNX fastboot method to flash.

Has anyone else run into this issue on the Mate 20 Pro where only pre-installed themes are shown? If I tap "Customize" 9 can change the lock screen and home screen options with a custom theme, but there's no options to apply an entire custom theme.

I'm going through the exact same thing and its driving me mad. I cant even blame it on a system update or anything, I went to bed and when I woke up, my phone was reverted back to the original theme it came with out of the box,
the "My Themes" "My Fonts" tabs are missing, all my fonts are gone yet I can see all my themes Lock Styles, Icons & Lock Screen Wallpapers however the tabs are missing along with any option to apply is missing.
When I download a theme or a font from Theme or Font Manager and try to apply it from there, tells me its been downloaded and to go to "My Themes" to apply it & Restart. However following those steps also brings me to the above mentioned.
I'm having the same issue on my P30 Lite in Canada. It seems like we aren't able to use the theme store because of my location? When I first got the theme it worked for a couple weeks. Nothing now!
Delete the stock themes app "disable to downgrade", then install the latest from apk mirror
Also, disable auto update so it won't update from the play store.
I tried that and it didn't work

Hello Friends
Please post the customizations you made in your stock miui rom without root
You can post anything that makes our phone better
It will be really helpful
I will post everything i did to my device
Most of the below mods work in every device running miui and other OS's
It really took me a lot of time searching
And writing this thread
So please do press the thanks? button if i was helpful
Note: Miui kills the background apps and stops them to run properly.so u will face problems in running the following apps and mods
To fix it you have to remove all restrictions for all the apps
To do so:
1.Go to app info and the battery saver and select "No "Restriction
2. In the app info setting check the Autostart option
Tips
Enable Developer Options
Go to Setting/About Phone
And tap "MiUi Version for Poco" 7-8 times
Now devloper options is enabled
Go to Setting/Additional Setting
And u will find developer options
Note : Developer Options will be Required for some of the following Tricks.So u have to enable it.
◽️ Change Display Size
Enable Developer Option and
Change smallest Width to 420
Using small Display Size Makes Things a little bit Smaller
You can see more contents in the Screen
◽️ Change Animation Scale
(You Can Also use Quick Setting App to change Animation Scale.You just need to add animations tiles in quick settings
and from quick settings click on tile and choose your preffered animation scale)
Change Animation Scales to Make your phone a little bit faster
Use Adb and Run Following Commands
adb shell
settings put global window_animation_scale 0.75
settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.75
settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.75
Note:Recommended Animation Scale is 0.75 But You can use custom animation scales
I know there is an option of changing animation scales from developer options in settings
But you can only set animation 0.5 or permanently disable it
Tricks
◽️ Enable Round Google Search Bar Widget
First add the google search bar on your home screen
Then open google app
