Is it possible to install themes offline? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I've been searching high and low and I just can't find an answer. When I go to Settings - Themes and try to apply one, it says "can't connect to the network".
I DO NOT want to connect to anything, let alone create any accounts just to be able to change the way my UI looks.
Is there any way to do this?
P.S. This thread is about something completely different than the one I posted recently, so I hope it isn't a problem that I made a separate one.

if you have root this is what I did, downloaded miui.am rom, extracted ThemeManager.apk and replace the file in my system, now I'm able to apply themes offline and 3 party sources themes

U can use miui theme creator from Google play store to create signed themes, then there will be no problem like connection or 3rd party error

Stock calendar in MiniCM7 Pro

Hi everybody.
I use paul-xxx 's MiniCM7 Pro - V20-Final and was wondering if it is possible to use the stock 2.1 calendar.
I cannot use android calendar because of the need to sign in in a Google account, as i don't have one and don't want to create one.
I liked the stock apk cause it is simple and just wanna see the date without having to sync with internet.
SEMCCalendar and other calendar associated applications are not working with MiniCM7 Pro...
Thanx in advance

normally what i do is if i want a app from older ROMS i save the apk of that app on to my SDcard and use App installer to install it (normally it works)
if that doesnt work i try copying the .apk file to where the other app is stored
e.g if i want messaging app, i copy it and paste it in system/app/Mms.apk using file managers like root explorer, astro file manager etc...
because theres where the Mms.apk is stored
to see change reboot your phone

Yes i understood what you said m8 and have done all those things before but nothing happens.
It seems like it's more complicated, it's like the stock SE calendar apks are not compatible with the rom.
As far as i'm concerned for the stock calendar to work in stock 2.1 rom are required 3 apks placed in system/apps:
-CalendarProvider.apk
-SemcCalendar.apk
-SemcCalendarVanillaApi.apk
I put them in system's apps, i change the permissions to rw-r--r-- and then reboot. The only thing is the calendar's icon that appears but if you press it error appears, meaning the app cannot be run.

[Q] Gingerreal: How to get functional alarm?

Hi there,
I'm using Gingerreal 2.0 as my first custom rom. It's really fast compared to stock and I like it very much.
I have one problem though: I've installed Alarm Clock Plus from the market but it doesn't seem to work. My alarm simply doesn't ring.
I didn't install the package with Samsung apps as I don't want all that crap. Should I install only the Samsung clock apk's? And if so, which ones should I install? (I see multiple apk's that seem to relate to clock/alarms)
Anyone can help me with this issue?
Thanks
Hi, I think I installed clockwidget.apk, deskclock.apk. Note though that it could also be a problem of DRM media drivers without which media fails to play or crashes, you need to copy drmprovider.apk, drmua.apk and sisodrmprovider.apk.
I also found I needed to install picotts.apk and ttsservice.apk as text-to-speech would always crash (and some 3rd party apps use it, thus they fail too).
You can just leave those apks and modify the zip of samsung apps and install those and see how it all works. I have working alarms, tts, and media playing on top of a very stable and fast ROM...
Can you give me more details on how to do that? I removed every apk from the zip file except the ones you mentioned. Then I tried to flash the zip with 'install zip from sdcard' but it ends up with installation aborted...
If you go to the gingerreal forum and search for the post by shinoxan on the 3rd page of the GR 2.0 thread, he posts a zip to fix the DRM problems; I used his zip and added the apks there. You could also try copying the apks directly using a rooted superuser shell...
His zip was hosted at megaupload, so I can't download that one. He mentioned to mount /system before flashing. I didn't mount /system yesterday so that might be the cause that it didn't work. I will try it tonight while /system is mounted.
Yes, I think that should fix it. PM me and i can send you a zip i used to update my TTS apps.
The packages from iandol worked ! Got my alarm back
Lets try to post the links:
Here is the mod I made for stopping TTS crashing with the clock and deskclock widgets, see if it works for you:

[Q] Install Social Hub on Wanamlite ROM

Hello.
Can someone tell me how to install the Social Hub on the Wanamlite ROM? I tried to copy back up the .apk file and reinstall it, but that does not work.
Any help would be much appricated.
Thanks
Wanam has also posted a samsung package with several samsung apps in it.
Social hub is included, see here for download: http://wanamlite.com/2012/04/03/wan...4-0-3-stable-blue-ics-stock-themed/#more-1223
It might be necessary to install more apk´s to make social hub work, I don´t know, because I´m glad I got rid of all that mess
Within CWM you can install apk files you´ve put on your sd-card. You should have Unknown Sources enabled to install them.
Thanks for your reply. Do I have to instal the samsung apps zip our is port in the hidden zip file?
I don´t know for sure. Download zip for sure
The way it looks, I would try to flash the zip from CWM. But that means then you´ll have all the samsung apps back.
If you don´t want that, delete the ones you do not want to have from the zip file before flashing.
I have downloaded the Samsungapps zip and the SocialHub apk file is in there. Is it just a case of installing the .apk file or are there other files that I will need to install too to get the SocialHub to work?
Thanks
Leave the folder structure in the zip as it is. Just delete the apk´s you do not need and give it a try.
Is it not working, start again now only with apk´s deleted of which you know for sure you do not need.
Thanks for all your help. I managed to install the Social Hub, but ran into another problem. When I try to set up an account with hotmail, it doesn't allow me to click on the link.
When I click it nothing happens. Facebook and Twitter work fine though.
Oh well. I guess I'm not gonna have the social hub.

[Q] trying to mod candycrush saga

i have downloaded and install apktool in order to modify candy crush saga for extra lives etc . whilst i have been successful in doing this the recompiled apk will install and play but will not allow connection to facebook . is this possibly some kind of signing issue or am i missing something more simple

Were you able to resolve the issue?

Not yet
hi, i think that you should make a backup of the modified data using titanium backup and try to install the official app from the play store and restore the data on it. it should work because the official app will have all the signature that will allow to sign you in Facebook. hope that it will work.

[GUIDE][NEW METHOD] How to install MIUI themes on Mi Pad 4.

I am aware that there is already a method to install themes on Mi Pad 4, but in my opinion this method is much simpler, more user friendly and better for us to use. The other method had issues such as not been able to restore to default theme.
Note: This method has only been confirmed working on China Stable 10.1.1.0, it should work on other versions but I can't confirm.
Credit to this video for showing me this method:
1. Download the app QuickShortcutMaker.
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut)
2. Open it up, change search from incremental to normal, and search themes.
3. Click on com.android.thememanager, a bunch of different themes apps will come up, select the second one down.
4. Click try.
5. The app will launch and you can use and install themes as you normally would on a MIUI device.
Note: The only downside to this is you will have to use QuickShortcutMaker to launch the Themes app every time you want to change theme. By default two themes are installed, Default and Limitless.
Note: You can also import themes from https://miuithemes.tk/
Enjoy and hope this helped. Enjoy customizing!
Reserved.
You can also install fonts with this method.
Just use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pky.mifontinstaller
You can install any .ttf file as a font and apply it normally in the Themes app. (You obviously access the themes app with the OP.)

Of course we're going to learn Chinese to talk to our devices; piece of cake!
Please tell me how to restore the default theme back to my Mi Pad 4 plus using this method. I installed theme but want to change back. Thanks
It says that third party themes are not supported. I downloaded them from miuithemes.tk like you said.
