How to install a custom theme + Dark theme - Vivo Nex Themes, Apps, and Mods

There are many themes in the i Theme app, but most of the themes you must buy. So here is a way to install custom themes. The Vivo theme file is .itz
You must use ES file explorer to see hidden files. The dir to themes is long: .dwd, c, o, m, b, b, k, t, h, e, m, e, T (that the map where you copy the .itz file)
I was also looking for a dark system theme, but many themes doesn't work, because the Vivo Nex use a newer Funtouch OS version. I found one dark theme that kinda works, but it not a really a nice theme.

You can also mix different themes in the i Theme app.
*edit*
The best dark theme that works is this Miui 9 Dark:

After downloading it, where/which file or folder did you move it to, so the iTheme app will "see" it?

costom skin
Thanks for the info!
This way I can make my all custom skin! Great!
Rename the .itz to .zip and open the file as such. You will find a bunch of folders:
> icons
> launcher
> preview
> wallpaper
Edit the contents to your liking, but make sure you keep original filenames and resolutions!
Where it gets interesting are the files in the ROOT directory of the .zip folder.
Those have no common filename extension and I cannot figure out how to open and edit them properly: Basically I have no idea what they do, but I think they are responsible for skinning the settings UI, making the lockscreen widgets work, etc.
If anyone has found a way to properly view and or edit those files please share with me!
Best regards!

Also planning to make a guide on custom themes once I truly understood how the theme files work.

Hi!
I am working on my custom theme, but it would be nice to start fresh from the stock one.
Where did you get the theme files? When I download them with iThemes, they disappear from the folder right after finishing downloading.

You mean the stock themes? There is a Vivo theme editor in the google store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixapplications.vivothemeeditor

I know but this app does not work for the vivo nex, it always gives me "peoblems downloading, error code 0)...
---edit---
sorry my bad, got it working. But the app says I have no themes installed.
Furthermore it seems that the icon change only works for the stock apps.

Hoping substratum themes(even some few not the dozens that works briliant with Oxygen) work well with Funtouch OS.
I'm already using and bought 5-6 wonderfull themes by the way compatible with Oxygen hope some of them work with Vivo OS:fingers-crossed:

Here another dark theme that works, but Miui 9 Dark is still my favorite theme

I am looking into the .itz files at the moment and will post a version of the Miui 9 Dark theme with more black in it (settings, dialer, maybe control center etc.) because it looks amazing on Amoled screens and saves a bit of battery.
Feel free if you have suggestions.

One Suggestion would be to make the text of the apps in the control panel white, because now you can't actually read the black text on the grey background.
Thanks for making a custom theme and sharing it. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm not sure if that can be changed by themes, don't see that changing when using different themes But I will try!

Ok guys, I've got something!
Basically the MiUI theme, but with a lot of black instead of dark grey (settings, dialer, messages, file explorer, etc .) and a transparent control center!
Sadly I could not find out how to change the text color for the recent apps in the control center. But maybe in the future.
Please restart your device after applying the theme, otherwhise some things won't be applied.

It could take some time because you have to change every symbol by hand, but I will try
