Any cool themes to share? MI Themes are totally trash! - Xiaomi Redmi 5A Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello! I believe this is the first thread in this section and my first ever for requesting themes.
Some of you might find it funny but i literally don't like any of the themes outta MI Themes. They are either stupendously feature-full or they are extremely blank (which is not called subtle). I want a good mix of a decent yet subtle theme taking full advantage of 18:9 (another disappointing factor that revokes me from applying from MIUI Themes).
Please share good themes here.
TIA !!
P.S. - I couldn't find any dedicated Redmi 5 thread throughout XDA hence the reason for me posting here.

Tema for miui 10?

skin or complete theme ?

Hi,
Maybe this question has been already answered and even if I already did some researches I did not find anyhing linked to my demand.
Just to explain:
My wife has a nuvifone A50 (this is a great phone and it's said that ASUS and Garmin has stopped the venture ...
She's fan of the way the A50 is skinned and the way of woking.
Maybe you will probably said that she's stupid but she really don't like the orignal skin of Android 4.1.x
You are now thinking about the link with the Atrix ??? hummm.....
I will soon receive from my company a new GSM (S4) ...and I'm really attached to my atrix ... so I don't want to sell it on ebay and I plan to give it to my wife.
Questions:
- is there a skin or full theme that can work on the CM10 of epinter :
---> this skin should be user friendly ... and also more "colored"
- Is there a version of the HTC interface or Samsung interface that can work on the epinter version ?
I'm pretty sure that my questions are a bit dumb ... but I'm really interested and I know that you'll will find a solution for me
Thank all for your support and sorry for my poor english
I am not sure what the default launcher is on epinters cm10 but there's a ton of different themes for most launchers in Google Play.

Thank you.
Will this "skins" the menu / phone book / message etc ?
try this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.BlackDub.theme.Sense4
see thread with CM10 themes, they should be compatible with epinter CM10 and capable to skin menu/phonebook/messages.

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the Xiaomi Mi A1 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Xiaomi Mi A1. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.

No kernel source after 4+ month.
Community development will die this way
I just found this one. I hope its true!!
https://twitter.com/MiIntrnModSeppe/status/955683630487146496
Appearently the sources have been just released : https://www.androidauthority.com/xiaomi-needs-to-adhere-to-the-rules-of-android-832599/
Development is dead. No real progress from the time we did not have sources to the time when we have sources. Sorry mates, I personally do not have knowledge to build roms or kernels myself, else I would ahve contributed. We have a semi functional build of LOS 14.1 and that is all we got.
Development pretty much dead i think. Developers shows no interest to develop for the device anymore, this pretty much caused by Xiaomi themselves.

Sadly it looks that way, maybe something will change, redmi note 5 was released last week and already have official twrp and first custom rom.
But mi A1 is still a great phone, it will get androdi P and I personally love stock Android.
I'd say pretty healthy, especially loving the italian dev community
Plenty of ROMs nowadays for our MiA1.
Any change since mid-April? I'm considering moving on from my Galaxy Note 3 onto this device, since it has all the latest features I'm looking for. (Dual cameras, fingerprint scanner, USB-C port)

No i think maybe a separate forum will be created for lite version cause SOC and several other things differ between the two
looking forward to having this phone, bought the Mi A1 last May, and thinking to buy this phone, as long as this phone will be rootable (which it will?) and my girl already had a Nokia 7+, surely this will have a better community than A1, It'll just need time or so

I hope massive development for this device and early availability of its sources:fingers-crossed:
As this device is launching over 40 countries world wide so we have higher chances of great community
now I'm more hype!
Got the device today. It's ridiculously fast, as soon as we have a stable lineage os build I'll load it on and do YouTube videos reviewing it
I can see this device having a good community base. it will just take a few months due to the device being new but as you can already see in the forum we have boot loader unlock and root tools already.
Any telegram group for mi a2 yet?

I bought this phone today i had mi a1 before and this phone was one of the first a/b partition phones and makes developers to do hard work to find the tricks and even magisk was not compatible but now all of the methods had found and after kernel sources released developing will begin
As a dev, am still thinking to buy this device if there is enough community behind it. New Kernel features, Suitable GSI's for specific devices, TWRP and Modified stock rom, thats what i can do as i did before for P9 Lite community along with other P9 Lite devs specifically with Meticulus...
For now, Pre Orders are there for this device in my country, i will order a 64/4GB variant as thats the most high variant available,,,
Hoping to see interaction with you guys soon...

MIUI 11 GSI on mi a3

aslo badly need miui on my mi a3
It is literally known as meme-ui the whole Android community gives out about it, it is a meme for how bad it is.
Your better off going with an aosp rom as your privacy and data will be safe, Android one just gives it all to Google aswel.
Read up about these things first don't just go blindly flashing stuff coz it's "cool".
Plus it's a lot heavier than an aosp rom which will eat ram and battery on the device and probably result in a decrease in performance.
What is the reasoning behind wanting miui so much? Just out of curiosity.
Is there any way to install gsi on mi a3? tried to install resurrection remix through fastboot in "A" slot (fastboot flash system system.img) but phone doesn't boot.

i am using miui from very first of my phone. and after buying mi a3 i just stuck into minimal feature of android one .. also i need to get back app locker, privacy locker, screen recoder with internal audio, real full screen gesture dark mode and many mode without using any 3rd party app
Why did you buy the A3 in the first place? CC9e is identical in specs but with MIUI, I'd buy this phone because of Android One like the most of us.

moreover, CC9e has FullHD+ 1080p screen, unlike A3.
3 yars since A1 was released, and people are still buying Android One devices to install miui there...

nope the cc9e is also 720p. the cc9 is indeed fhd (aka mi 9 lite)
yes, such a shame... and makes no sense, the android one support does add to the price the phones so why... is a big mistery for me too... not to mention variety, there's countkess more miui phones to choose from

What you are saying used to be true.
I hated Miui when I first tried it in 2017. Recent Global versions of Miui is fantastic, I prefer using the customized Xiaomi/EU rom.
AOSP has its merits, but the Xiaomi Meme thing is honestly outdated and frankly silly.
and after so many jokes and history classes, and explanations of the boy who works at bestbuy, is there any way to use MIUI in the A3?

...Second space
Record calls (without using any 3rd party app)
etc, etc, etc
What's so bad on using 3rd party apps to have those feature? I for one have zero interest in call recorder, screen recorder, app lock, second space or any of the MIUI apps and I'm glad that these, for me useless apps are not part of the system. That's why I always choose clean Android. If you know that you need such features, well, buy a phone with MIUI..? Even if you somehow manage to boot MIUI on A3, it won't support OTA updates and most probably some of the essential features won't work (e.g. FP sensor).

If Mi CC9e had a global MIUI (not English / Chinese only), there would be no such conversation. But since there are a lot of people who like MIUI more than Android Stock, there are a lot of people looking for MIUI for the Mi A3!

Xiaomi has 4 phones with Android One and at least 20 with MIUI. A3 is nothing special (except the Android One program), why on Earth would you choose it over any other phone with fully supported MIUI out of the box? Just to complain that you miss things which are deliberately not present?

A3 is nothing special? Tell me one smartphone with a screen less than 6 inches (for me very important) and a decent battery (over 4000 mAh). In addition it has a good / excellent camera.

I am not familiar with MIUI phones as I find zero interest in them. If there is no such phone, I guess you need to make a compromise somewhere.
Most recent phones have excellent camera with gcam mod.

			
				
Guys, MIUI has its benefits, but stock android is not that bad either. I just love stock android.
But it seems many people are regretting buying this phone. Maybe someone will port MIUI for A3 someday, meanwhile you can follow the video shared by @ozankardes, it looks promising. The video is not in English, but I guess you can pickup the important bits easily. Good luck!
I tried the MIUI ROM in the video. it work.
ROM belongs to MI CC9e. Only 2 languages. English & Chinese. You can use morelocale2.
-No Google apps.
-Auto brightness is not stable.
-Fingerprints don't work.
Everything works except what those.
I tried a few more A/B GSI roms (Flyme 8, MIUI 11). None of them worked. Maybe only will work GSI A roms I don't know. We need to do more trials.

[GOAL REACHED]GCam for Poco F2 Pro - Crowdfunding for @Urnyx05

Quoted from the Google Camera Mod (Gcam) thread in case if the community missed it. Every little donations counts <3
MaXAiRO said:
As you all probably know, @Urnyx05 is a key GCam dev for years and if it's gonna help the F2 Pro / K30 Pro community a lot if he gets the device.
I'm quoting him below.
Poco F2 Pro for Urnyx05
Crowdfunding to help GCam mod further development
Hi, lots of users knows me as a GCam modder. Few days ago, they proposed me to support GCam for Poco F2 Pro, so I'm organizing a crowdfunding. The amount of money will be 380 euros, that is the actual price of Poco F2 Pro on Amazon. If you want to contribute, this is the link to the crowdfunding:
https://paypal.me/pools/c/8twmcmVVpc
EDIT: For those who think it's a scam, I just added 2 screenshots from the Telegram group in which Urnyx posted the crowdfunding link. In the second one, you can see him saying that it's not his actual name but a friend of his. You can actually join the group and see all these posts for yourself.
Also, I even tagged him in the first sentence of this post which means that he's already been notified about it. If it was a scam, he would ask from the XDA team to delete my post.
EDIT 2: Uploaded the screenshots as images because there seems to be an issue with the attachment function of xda.

What does "GCam for Poco F2 Pro" actually means and how it will be different from the other GCam iterations that are available and are already working fine for this phone?

Right now every single modded GCam has at least a few issues on the Poco F2 Pro. On some the general picture quality is bad, on some the general video quality is bad, on some the front camera pictures have a lot of noise, on some video stabilization doesn't work, on some recording videos doesn't work, on some the lib patcher doesn't work on some lenses, and so on.

End goal lowered to 360 euros, cause @Urnyx05 found a cheaper one. Only 39.98 missing
I'm using the same 2 gcams from a back up of my OnePlus 7pro and both work with out issue including 4k60 with stabilization. I don't see the point of this personally.
Aaaaand done! Happy to tip it over the edge.
I want to thank to all who donated. You're awesome
Nice!
The goal was 360, we reach It and now Is 400, I don't get It, Is It only to let people still contribute to the cause? Anyway many thanks to urnyx for this project.

Yes the friend who owns the PayPal account made a mistake at editing the MoneyBox. 360 is the total amount, so I'll buy it soon
