How to share your MIUIv5 theme backup As you may know, in recent versions of miui you can´t share your backup.mtz anymore because the theme manager just removes the backup.mtz after you do the backup because it imports the backup automatically. So you can´t share your backup.
Download root browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree , install it and give it root perms when asked.
Apply the theme you want to share.
Open root browser and go to /data/system/theme
Copy all the files located on that folder to any folder on your sdcard
Pack that files in a zip and share that zip.
Of course this zip is not and mtz but it contains all the files of the theme, so it is easy to make a .mtz.
To make a .mtz you have to add a description.xml file with this parameters:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?><MIUI-Theme><title>[B]Name of the theme[/B]</title><designer> [B]Designer´s name[/B]</designer><author>[B]author´s name[/B]</author><version>1.0</version><uiVersion>3</uiVersion></MIUI-Theme>
That is it
The reason of making this tutorial is because i want to buy some paid themes but i can´t do that outside of china, so if someone want to share any free or paid theme can do it easily.

Yea but you cant back-up the framework or system-ui you use in your back-up theme! I wish I could figure out how to?

yes you can.
Make sure you put this in the description.xml file:
<uiVersion>3</uiVersion>
It is important to get the backup fully working
When i make mtz file follow you with paid theme (exclude add a description.xml), i apply my theme and it report cant apply theme.
How to fix them?

how to create description.xml plz explain
ppl still use miui? serious question though..
Hi,
Is there any alternative theme manager who will apply the theme from sd card, without this new stupid Theme Policy of MIUI or maybe a patch?
