It might sound silly but I actually one of those guys who pay attention to small details in making my experience using this budget phone feels like extraordinary. Some icons on the notification bar are just dull like the battery icon. The looks is just not for me especially after looking the one in iPhone 11. My main goal for now is just to change that alone, but if there's an app that offers more customization for other icons, I will gladly take them. I tried googling it and found about Xposed framework. I tried downloading the apk and installed it. It says that it needs framework or something like that. I uninstalled it and go to Magisk and try to download it from there from the Modules tab. I found it and tried to install it. It gave me an error. Tried it three times. Apparently it's not going to work on Android other than from 5.0 to 8. Now I don't know where else to look since that one was the only one looking promising.
There used to be beautiful themes for POCO when it was on MIUI 10. For example I used to use one called PixPie Dark. It gave me new battery icon, lock screen animations, new navigation bar etc.
Now that we are on MIUI 11 the old themes are not compatible. And newer ones have not been made (yet) which have all the customizations.
I absolutely hate the MIUI 11 default icons. They look outdated.
Anyway here's my desktop setup.

Nice....
Does the wallpaper change as per time?
What theme is it? And what's the battery please?

No, I'm sorry the wallpaper doesn't change according to time. It's just a wallpaper I selected from the MIUI gallery.
Theme is stock Poco theme with Nova Launcher Prime (Paid) and icon pack is Thin Icon Pack (Paid).

I've rooted my phone and installed custom ROM (Pixel Exp). I don't have access to MIUI theme (not that I even want to because it will not allow you to use third party theme. I wonder if there's a third party app that will allow me to change the notification bar especially the battery icon. I tried Xposed framework but it didn't work because it is not compatible with Android 8.0 above.

Hello, as the title states the One is my first HTC phone, I technically had the HTC One X+, but only for about 12 hours before my son accidentally dropped it down the stairs. Other than that I have had all Samsung phones. I am loving the One and its working great so far, however there are two things that I am trying to change and have had no luck so far. First off I have tried multiple ROMs but I am currently running Android Revolution 10.1 with no mods other than what comes with the ROM. The two issue I am having are
1) The stock status bar transition from the solid grey to transparent, there is a noticeable delay when exiting an application and returning to the home screen where it takes a few seconds for the status bar to change from the solid grey to the transparent of the home/lock screen, also when unlocking the phone the status bar blinks from transparent to grey and then back, I was wondering if there was a way to make this change instant, or at least make it the solid grey all the time. I have done extensive searching in both the AT&T forums and the international ones, the only threads I could find are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297043 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291078 and I tried them both but with no luck, the first one just makes it black when it would normally be transparent and the second one I couldn't get to do anything. If someone could point me in the right direction here I would greatly appreciate it.
2) Is there any way to add app closing animations to a ROM? It seems with Sense when exiting an application it just closes back to the home screen with no animation at all, and that kind of kills the smoothness of the phone for me.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
try trickdroid it has a tweaks and themes package. one of the options is to choose animations

I tried that one and flashed the mods package and couldn't find the option anywhere, from what I understand from reading the forum, since v6 and the update to 4.2.2 a lot of the mods are not compatible and have been removed from the mods package until they are.

yes but themes and tweaks have been updated. idk how much has been implemented but i was running 7.0 and it had the animations
The status bar is like that because of the transparency feature, it did it on some of the aosp Roms I used on my old gs2sr. And I would like some good transitions to/from apps. I agree that it makes opening and closing apps seem smoother.

I flashed 7.0 along with the tweaks and themes packages, but my app open/close animations do not change, I have tried all the animations in the installer, but not matter what I choose the animations stay the same.
One way to get a solid notification bar is to install a 3rd party launcher like Nova/Apex/etc. That will make it solid at all times (the lockscreen will remain transparent unless you use something like Widgetlocker or holo locker), plus give you more customization options (like editing icons, text labels, animations, etc.). Seems like that's what you're looking for to answer your concerns.

Yeah that's a great suggestion, I just tried it and not only does it make the status bar solid but also adds animations to the closing of apps. Only issue I can see is none of the third party launchers allow the adding of the stock widgets yet, but I'm sure that will be sorted out in time. Thank you so much!

there's already an android N theme
I have done it this way on my phone to give the best possible experience as the Android N theme on MIUI store seems so fake.
1. Install Google Now launcher (this is more authentic than Nova launcher but Nova gives you so many more options, plus Google Now launcher has OK Google voice command)
2. Install Android N theme from the Mi theme store. This will change the colour of the system UI. This means the pull down menu, toggles etc.
3. Now for the icons, install "awesome icons" from the play store . this lets you choose the required icons for each program that you want to change. The program is very self explanatory. Install an icon pack if required so that you will be then able to use the icon pack icons also.
Hit thanks if I helped.

Aye, can someone help me out to get me started with making some themes?
This MIUI Theme thingy is not working for me.
As in whenever I use it and try to edit the Home screens and Contacts Screens and all, it's just a blank white screen.
I can majorly only change icons in the theme.

There is so many ROMs on development section.
Here is mine using official CM13 + Xposed
Big icons
When using Nova launcher , thr is no widget for clock app available..
Is thrre.any way to reduce the size of stock miui 8 icons, it looks too big
I liked the Android N miui theme a lot, especially the messaging app and the dialer. I can't find anything to theme them the same way on CM13, would you know any theme like that?
Just got my s9 plus about a week ago and have been trying to customize it a bit. Still stock at this point with no plans to root any time soon.
I downloaded some themes and some Icon packs from Samsung and tired a few of them, and I also downloaded the google launcher and the pixelizer theme since I really prefer the stock android launcher and most of the apps over the samsung ones. For some reason if I change the theme or the icon pack or the launcher to anything other than the stock ones all the samsung app icons change to these really ugly black and grey ones. It wouldn't bother me except for the fact that I want to keep the icon for the stock camera app on the home page, but it looks horrible.
I am coming from a note 4 which I have had since around when it launched. I never had this problem with it with any themes or launchers.

Use a third party launcher such as Nova or Action. Problem solved.
Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
I tried nova and it does the same thing. As soon as I change the launcher all the samsung apps change to a crappy icon that wont change with any of the themes. I would prefer to stick with the google launcher or maybe even stock touchwiz with a theme. I have used nova in the past and there may be a way to get it to work, but at this point in life I dont care about customizing tons of stuff on my phone. I pretty much just want to be able to get the google launcher working with some icons that dont look horrible. I would even be happy with the stock icons for the samsung apps.
Hi everybody, i'm new to Xiaomi community , i'm came from HTC U11 the first i miss from HTC is the UI and the sound..
After some research and some installation i've finally get my perfect configuration on my MI 9 .
Here is a screenshot of my home screen
And also my HTC Usonic work to perfection with stock rom 10.2.9 after install viperFX . With no static sound or hissing.just perfect ??
For the notification i used "Notch Notification pro"
And you what's your perfect homescreen?
I like Miui's stock launcher (Xiaomi.eu version) and since I used an iPhone for several months before I bought a Mi9, I prefer launchers without a drawer. I like clean designs therefore I use some text KWGT Widgets (the first one is from huk kwgt) and three or more countdowns (countdown time app) to something i'm waiting for, like movies, events or videogames. The wallpaper is a 24h live wallpaper i downloaded from xiaomi's theme app. I used to heavily customize my homescreen but i don't have that much time anymore so nowadays i add just a little few tweaks to the stock experience but nothing more.

Just being curious ... will there be any ROMs for the Zenfone 9?
Lot's of small things really bother me and I would love to fix em by using a custom ROM. But I am not sure if I should keep the phone since my last one also had no chance of ROMs wich bothers me still.
The Zenfone 8 is supported by LineageOS, maybe the 9 will be too.
I sure hope so :/ I had zf8, now owned by my wife, and I hoped this would get similar support.
Chill out a little, its only been what? 2 months since the release. Porting a device takes time and effort and is done by volunteers. I expect there are going to be ROMs for this device, I think it is just a matter of time as IIRC Asus sends out devices to ROM maintainers for them to play around with and port out.
Chances are good as Asus shares Kernel sources and has a quite open policy. Also, software support by Asus is limited so chances are good someone jumpes in.
I agree, it takes some time before custom ROMs will come out. However I personally don't feel any special need for a custom ROM yet, the ASUS ROM is clean, fast, smooth, a bit customizable and with a good battery life
Which is true, but specially support of third party launchers is horrible on gesture navigation. When you go to your home screen, most of the time, the device thinks it needs to "stop" or "show" the launcher as an open app, which really bothers me. Never had this on any custom ROM so far.
Also, I would love to get more customizations. What we have is great and all, I really love the effort they put into it. But in some parts, I would love to see some custom juice here.
But that's just me being an UX designer, doing his thing
Well, with A13 not anymore. There is no more home gesture bug, it works smoothly on 3rd party launchers. I'm using Niagara and the experience is great finally!
Not sure what you mean on custom ROMs, as the bug was a A11 and A12 issue, not custom or OEM ROM issue. I had multiple ROMs on my previous OnePlus 7T Pro and the home gesture was the same on all ROMs on 3rd party launchers. It was due to how Android worked with the recent apps menu as it wasn't separate from the launcher, but was using the OEM launchers' recent apps, so if you had a 3rd party launcher, the original one was still running in the background, providing the recent apps menu. That is why the but was there. So no custom ROM could have fixed that.

This is awesome! My only main gripe with Zenfone 9 is that I can't make icons on home screen and app drawer bigger. Tried using Nova or Lawnchair but they were buggy. Now I can't wait for A13 beta to hit my device.

the interest of a custom ROM on a device like the zenfone 9 is obvious, it allows to increase the duration of the software support which Asus ends after only 2 years.

It requires some folks to volunteer to develop the custom ROMs, such as Lineage. It is unofficial if the person's efforts don't meet the long term requirements for Lineage and those who maintain the original.
I'm in the process of learning how to make an AOSP ROM myself, so if I succeed you'll see a thread from me about it!
