Themers: Your new best friend -

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526
Daneshm90 made a sweet computer app (only for Windows ATM) to take the PNGs from one theme or rom and transfer them to another, easily and effectively theming the new rom with little effort. Right now you have to make sure that it is MDPI type stuff, so no higher class phone themes will work just yet. I think he might be finding a way around that. You can still grab themes from lots of phones like the G1, Hero, etc etc and you can use 2.1 themes for Froyo roms and such as well. I made a Buuf themed Cyanogen Tazz rom and a pink themed CELB Froyo rom for a friend that was from a 2.1 rom. So far so good... Did not have success with using Droid roms as they are HDPI. Soon though...soon... lol Feel free to stop in that thread and say thanks or ask questions. He seems quick to answer and be helpful. Since I have done a few (hey, failed ones count, you learn what NOT to do...) I might be of assistance as well. Enjoy!

[Q] Q miui themes

is there a miui theme? I have found a few miui roms that can have a theme applied, but have not found a theme that would make the stock dhd look a bit like miui.
dont even know if it is possible. I have a new dhd don't want to invalidate the warranty just yet so don't want to start flashing roms can anybody point me in the right direction.

I think I am on about skins rather than themes

If you're on CM7, try looking for a theme called ElegantSteel. I was using that along with GO Launcher and the Classic theme for it on my Wildfire. It's not MIUI, but it's not Sense or Vanilla and not a far cry from MIUI either.
Haven't tried seeing if they work on the DHD yet though but my guess is that it should considering the theme was originally hdpi.

Good thinking batman

New MIUI lockscreen on cm7

Is it possible to make the new miui lockscreen flashable just like the miui camera is?

Should be able to. Just try to push it to system/app before you do just to make sure its gonna to work first.

The lockscreen in miui isn't an apk so I don't think it is that easy. I doubt their lockscreens will work on other rom's either.

Oh ok. well I don't know much about miui. Im sure someone could figure it out though

Just use MIUI its better anyway.... Has Iphone, sense3.0, and gingerbread lockscreens without zips to install just go into themes...

I'm pretty sure it's tied into the framework... so, lots of work to do there if you're truly interested, haha. I'd use MIUI but CM7 is just faster and there's a million more, IMO, useful customization features compared to MIUI... pretty much the whole Cyanogenmod Settings tab. The one thing that really bugs me about MIUI is the menu system. It's beautiful, as it replicates that of the iPhone, but it's always been so laggy for me, I can't deal with it.

That's a shame. From the pictures, it looks like a combination between the honeycomb ring/ripple-lock and the sense 3.0 ring-lock. Both of which I like, so the newest miui lockscreen had me all excited. Lol

MIUI is built from open source but the rom itself isn't open source. It simply isn't possible.
MIUI > Vanilla Android

I was a loooooooooong time CM6 and CM7 user. But the latest MIUI is blazing. IMHO it's faster than CM7 in day to day use (I don't benchmark) and more stable.
MIUI has so many hidden subtleties throughout the ROM. Use it for a week and see if you like it

I liked MIUI in the froyo days. It was super stable and smooth. However ever since Gingerbread it's been much laggier across the board and far less stable than the froyo build. Swiping between homescreens is no longer smooth unless you use a hack that disables wallpaper scrolling (miuiandroid build) or keep your homescreens widget free with minimal icons. Of course if you use an alternate launcher then that isn't even a concern. But as mentioned earlier, the menus are also very laggy and annoying to use. I will admit the new dark theme makes it look a dream, but it has a bug that makes screen rotation take a relatively long time to flip and as such less usable.
CM7 may not have the aesthetic superiority that MIUI has but at least everything is smooth and gingerbread. I would love to see the MIUI lockscreen on CM7 but that will never happen.
Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.

To all that have a complaint about MIUI - the rotation lag is normally tied to a theme at the moment, I don't get lag anywhere else. Make sure you try your favorite launcher as well - I don't like the one that comes with it but if I swap over to Go launcher everything is nice and smooth again and I can find my stuff!
On the other hand, I have never found a rom other than CM7 with so much raw speed. CM7 will restore all my stuff insanely fast - all others are fairly slow in comparison. But how often do you go restoring everything unless you swap roms daily and are on fresh builds! I have really been enjoying MIUI lately, especially with the new themes and lock screens.
I'd say my favorite thing about MIUI is not having to install a decent camera app everytime. That was kind of annoying with CM7 which is otherwise wonderful as is.

[REQ] SWG MIUI Theme

Just want to know if anyone has a version of this theme, SWG, that will work with MIUI 1.9.30?
After doing some researching I only found a real real old version that has never been updated. I hope someone can help as the icons it uses are just sick!
Thanks!

Why don't you convert it yourself? While doing that you could learn how to make themes on MIUI, it's a great tool to have if you are a MIUI user.

No screenshots, no links, no help.

Found one that wttkh done. Not sure but may be the most upto date atm. I Love this theme also. but needs work.

[Theme]Req. a concept

Hey guys!
I'm a big fan of miui and i like very clean and simple themes. Changing my miui style at least once a week.
Now i found a concept on deviantart which really looks very nice to me.
I'm not really into how to make themes on my own, but may be someone who is able to, and has the time to realize themes can also take this as inspiration
http://artlime.deviantart.com/art/Concept-Project-Elegance-UI-254802638
and make such a theme for miui out of it.

Wow, looks pretty epic
