[Q] changing fonts in mi note pro - Xiaomi Mi Note Pro

Okay, I rooted my mi note pro. Installed two fonts apps. Tried to change the fonts, installed some fonts via the two apps and rebooted... after reboot fonts still not changing... where did I miss the step? Or xiaomi doesnt allow third party apps to change the fonts?

Those apps aren't designed to work with MIUI. You're better off just using the fonts in the theme store

Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Font > Choose system font. You have to use the MIUI ones

Nope. You don't have to use the MIUI Theme Store to find Themes with custom fonts.
Just use iFont but without the integrated MIUI Mode, but with the root mode!
It works and I use the slim variant of Neue Haas Grotesk, also known as Helvetica.

Oh Lord...

You are a magician... Thanks mate.

Very strange: different fonts seems to cause different overall performance for the phones UI...

How customizable?

Hi,
I am interested in knowing how customizable the LG stock rom is. I mean is it possible e.g to change the white system menus and iphone'ish switches to the basic android ics/jb look? or is a custom rom needed for doing this?
Thanks in advance

Hi, the LG stock rom it's very customizable but not as a cooked rom. For example, you can set the percent of battery on status bar. Set a style of loock-screen with 4 app. link and selec the app. into the link. You can uninstall LG stock App. from the rom! By defaul, you can choose four different themes for the launcher. You can modify the status bar quick link to the settings (ex. Data connection, fly-mode, WiFI and ecc. ecc.) and with long press on it you can go directly on setting of it.
This for example.

Enable Font Style in Phone Settings

Hi. For those whom using Mate 10/10pro or any devices that running emui8/Oreo and always changing fonts to matchup their phone theme. The default method on Android Oreo, just tap and hold 'theme' icon.
But if you want this enable on device settings, here the fast trick to enable your 'text style' on your device settings without theme editor or adb command. No rooted device needed.
First, download this '.apk'
Link:
https://mega.nz/#!9mpVjRjI!eE3wLnE2hdw7vg5fuENHDzpcM38aEfh-XiW1WAFMo1Y
Install it. Open and choose enable. Then reboot device.
(P/s: you can uninstall the app, after enable font)
And here for the fonts. Thanks to venom007
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...t-font-styles-updated-02-09-16-t3453559/page9
Once you're download the font, rename it from '.zip' to '.hwt' and move the files to themes folder [ local/ internal storage/ huawei/ themes ]
Now, your font style are in your device settings/display/text style.
Note: Don't know if its work for another language. I'm using it for english and it works. But, you can give a try and report us either it work or not with another language.
Enjoy!
UPDATED : I've found this on playstore. Can enable font style changer and some more tweaker for Huawei device. Thanks to the developer.

Hi..not work for me,even I did what everything you guys did..downloaded the app,it's enabled...d'loaded fonts,rename them with .hwt and moved them into huawei theme.have tried both ways,renamed the .zip file,moved and not showing and the file inside the zip. same procedure.
On theme itself only showing default and chinese sans font's,which was pre-installed,as well the same showing in sett/display/text style...
Frustrating...
Well it worked..after a couple of time's rebooting..but now I wanted to do the same to my wifey's p10lite but enabler .apk shows that is broken and cannot install
I had my hopes up high when i saw this..
After trying to enable the fontsyle with adb (adb shell settings put system hw_hide_font_style false)
Things worked but only in English settings.
As I am dutch I tried this but it doesn't work either on mate 10 light with Emui 5.1

[Pie] - No Root - Dark Mode

Hi all,
Just updated my XZ1C to Android 9.
I had Substratum with some dark themes installed on Android 8.
I did not read any substratum notes, and just updated to android 9. :facepalm:
Apparently Android needs root now for custom themes to apply.
Is this really the case?
Is the only option to root, to get dark-mode back again?
I can't seem to find custom ROMS which are Pie based.
Only a beta of LineageOS for Android8.

There is Xpie, not that I am recomending it in any way. Loading it looks pretty problematic.
But if you're going to root your phone to load a custom rom, then Substratum will work fine on rooted 9

do the swift themes work with stock/sony apps e.g. dialer, settings, files, etc.? or only AOSP / custom roms?
there's a fee for the installer app, when downloading the actual themes, is there an additional charge?
thanks!

no dice on the sony apps i'm afraid, with the exception of sony music. there's a full list of supported apps here. it's pretty much all google and AOSP apps and an assortment of other stuff.
re: payment, you pay for the app once and you can configure the theme however you want. so you can rechoose background and accent colours to your heart's content. much less onerous than substratum imo.

Upload theme engine, theme store and swipe navigation from Chinese model

Hi, can someone upload the theme engine, theme store and swipe navigation APK from the Chinese model? That would be great because the International model doesn't have this. Thank you.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=tr you can use this app for swipe navigation bar and i use C Launcher its better than chinese launcher
No Microsoft launcher is best

Without unlock bootloader u can't add navigation gesture permanently.
Use Fluid NG navigation, simple ADB command with better gestures and customization than even Pie has too offer; without root or unlocked bootloader. And any launcher is better than Quickstep lol.
Substratum themes work great on this phone, if you decide to root. I'm personally using this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brit.swiftblack.layers&hl=en

Can you elaborate on this? Sources, tutorials, etc.? I'm interesting in trying.
Google Play Store search Fluid NG, upon installing it will tell you the ADB command, if you're rooted just Grant and you're gtg....if not then need to do ADB....tap build number 7 times enable USB debugging. I use Niagra launcher from play store too it's in beta but I like the clean Android experience. Also you can install Google Dialer version 31 apk works great except call screening atm.
Why has nobody with the Chinese version done this yet?
Instead of giving Google-like, completely off subject answers...
"My fav launcher is..." something nobody asked.

I put the Theme_Apk.zip file on the following link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MY2rJWLPa-wudzIakrN7eb3EFWj9LNe1/view?usp=sharing
You need to put the folder nubia_Thememanager in the system/priv-app folder and the folder thememanager in the system/media/theme folder. However I flash the global rom and try this but the theme engine does not work. You can try it and tell me what else are needed for the theme to work. I am now back to the CN rom.
anyone successfully port china rom theme into global?

How to apply 3rd party themes?

My main frustration with Miui is not being able to theme it myself, I don't like any of those themes in the store.
I applied for designer in their website but my theme has been waiting to be approved by them for like 3 months now.
I've tried several workarounds, like the force close method (Doesn't works for me I'm on Miui 12.0.6 Btw) and the theme editor from playstore (Works but reverts to stock after a while).
EU roms have a fix for this but there's no EU roms for this device, screw MediaTek.
I have root access via magisk and the unofficial twrp as recovery, is there anything I can do to install a theme permanently?

I just looked it up, only works for Miui 11 and is paid.
Also, even though it is restricted, I prefer Miui theme engine, it is very customizable and system wide. That's the main reason I haven't switched to Lineage Os, I've heard custom app icons only apply to launcher in Lineage Os (No custom icon in recents or settings apps tab)
Did you download the Swift Installer? Because it will support every phone after you install it will cost some money but you can download apk
MIUI themes are in MTZ format, You can either import them in theme store, or apply them through an app named "Theme editor for MIUI".
Keep in mind since there's no proper support for third party themes, they get reseted after some time and the phone returns back to stock theme.
So for now either you enjoy your theme for a few hours and it resets, or try to get it on the MIUI Theme store.
