So i managed to fix messenger and squared ugly launcher icons after updating to Android 11 MIUI 12.0.1. Today Xiaomi "released" this version of Launcher:
1625834504388_MiuiHome_ALPHA_4_23_0_3277_07092031 (screenshots included).
All i had to do is update the app and it's all magical beautiful again
Edit: Added Video too
Didnt upload app cause i think i can't post unverifed apk's here. Just copy full version number

SOLVED: See post 2 below.
Obviously you have to be rooted for substratum.
Secondly, I'm not talking about MIUI system themes, but themes for major Android apps. I already have Stock Black v10 MIUI theme applied.
I've managed to stop MIUI reverting my themes by changing the region and flashing the region zip.
However, when I build and enable layers in substratum for dark themes, like Pitch Black etc, they don't work.
I'd like to have apps like Instagram have a black or dark theme but substratum is not working with many themes I tried.
Do you know any themes that will work with official/beta MIUI Pie ROMs?
Do you know any patches that might help?
Please post any advice you have about theming apps by substratum in MIUI Pie or tips or news etc here as an App Theme resource thread.
Once again, I'm not talking about MIUI System Themes.
Talking about themes in Substratum for major apps.
Thank you.
OK I tried many and finally found one that works. First of all remove other theme apps, specially Andromeda for non-rooted which only works with Oreo and not Pie and actually did not work for me and many others on even Oreo. It clashes with themes within Substratum if you are rooted, if installed. It does not work anyway and reverts and is a waste of money.
This theme, Swift black... for substratum, is for rooted phones, as usual with all themes within substrat.
1) Install Substratum
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=projekt.substratum
2) Get Substartum theme app:
Swift Black Substratum Theme +Oreo & Samsung theme
Install, it is cheap
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers
3) Luanch Substratum
Choose Swift
4) At top drop the drop-down menu option:
IMPORTANT! PICK ANDROID VERSION
choose:
Android 9.0 Pixel
That is if you are on Pie like my phone
5) Choose the apps you want themed
I mainly wanted instagram
6) At bottom right click icon (like 2 pieces of paper in a circle) and choose:
Build and Update
applies process for selected apps, wait till it finishes and says success and not errors
7) Reboot PHONE after it finishes building
8) Go back into Substartum and Swift
Choose the same apps you built: SELECT THEM AGAIN
At bottom right click the same icon and choose:
Enable Selected
9) Reboot PHONE a second time, after it finishes enabling process
Now you have your app, as instagram in my case, themed black.
I rebooted many times and it was many hours ago and it still holds.
_______________________________________________
I did not apply Android system overlays, just instagram, BECAUSE my system themes are already jet Black with MIUI theme:
http://en.miui.com/thread-4590347-1-1.html
You can search for it in system: themes and install it there easily. But I had to set my region to Hong Kong for MIUI to allow me to see 3rd party themes and install them.
Also if I installed 3rd party themes with apps:
Themes (comes with and is part of MIUI)
My Themer (app from play store)
They work but after a while MIUI disables them. So change your region in system (search for region in system settings) to Hong Kong or Japan or something, they work better than India region too for some reason. It does not affect your local auto time/date settings.
This section, MIUI 3rd party themes, is unrelated to Substratum/Swift theme section above.
Hope it helps people, not going blind with white apps.
I tried the Swift black option
But there's no Android 9.0 for pixel option available in the drop down menu

The latest update from Play store gives 2 options in Swift (inside Substratum) when running on Poco, I'm on ROM 8.10.13:
Android 9.0 Oxygen OS
Android 9.0 Pixel
I chose Pixel. Just need latest version from Play store.
Also their theme has themes for lots of apps (most have a few or none) and their team regularly updates the Swift engine theme for Substratum.
Hi.
I have old android phone LG Prada 3.0 - it has custom Android 4.0.4 with black/white icons everywhere (Prada Theme). Except downloaded apps.
I would like to get the same theme to my new phone running Android 8.0 Oreo (Sony Xperia XA). So far I have managed to get all the black/white icons from old phone. I have also found some apps that let me change icons on my new phone but I can only change them in home-screen. If I press the "apps" button, original icons are still there.
Is there some theme extract/import app that I can use?
I would like to make my new phone look as much as possible as in old phone...

If not, try substranium app.
All,
Forgive me in advance, but I am a serious novice when it comes to customizing phones or installing launchers etc. However, I have scoured the internet and forums for answers and done everything I found to try to solve the issues. I'm here as last resort asking for your alls help.
My lg v30 just got updated to android pie. Went to install the more recent version of the official google pixel launcher (V9, says it's compatible with android pie or below) and when I go to install it says it wont do it. The weird thing is is that I can install an older version of the pixel launcher (from 2018). Just not the newer ones from 2019. And on the older version of the pixel launcher my swipe google discover feed will not appear to the left of my home screen no matter what I do.
I've tried installing the apk's from apk mirror, cant post link bc I'm a new user. But its from apk mirror and its the official pixel launcher apk, different updated versions.
And yes, I uninstalled pixel launcher before installing new ones. Still wont install. Have tried all recent versions except for the v10 release which it says wouldnt be compatible on android pie phones.
I have allowed third party installs, uninstalled / re-installed the pixel launcher. So my questions are:
1) Am I not able to run a more recent version of the pixel launcher on a v30? Even if it's been updated to android pie?
2) Even running an older version of the pixel launcher (v8 from 2018), my google swipe discover feed will not appear to the left of the home screen. Is there anything I can do to get it to appear?
I appreciate any insight you all can offer. And sorry for novice questions, I'm really frustrated.

use cpl - customized pixel launcher
Hey guys, I updated my poco manually to miui 11 global Android 10 stable. Now my themes are getting reset back to default theme after every couple of minutes. I deleted themes and re installed themes from theme store, cleared data, updated themes app, changed region, still the problem persists. Any idea how to fix this?
My miui version is 11.0.4.0
Hi everyone,
For those who installed this recent release, can you tell us what you feel about it ?
Especially, I would like to Know if it's still possible to use a custom launcher (Nova) and a gesture nav app (Fluid) by selecting "Gestures" as system navigation and then "Hide full screen indicator"
Thanks in advance for all your feedbacks

Thanks for your reply,
I know that many (I wouldn't say most...) users here uses AOSP, and I know gesture issue is still there. I also know that system launcher can be updated separately, but it is ALSO updated with system update.
The thing is that starting from a given version, the gesture problem is even worse, because the workaround (hiding nav bar and using gesture app) is no longer applicable.
So, that's why I would like to know the exact version that comes with this update.
OK, I got the information from somewhere else :
This update commes with system launcher v4.21.15.3117-07201713
Which means that we should still be able use a 3rd party launcher and a gesture app with navbar hidden.
