I've been searching for a while (with no luck) on how to install custom icons for your apps on MIUI. I'm talking about individual icons, not icon packs, and not ones in themes.
I've seen this thread but I can't find the locations they are talking about.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Bump
Can anybody help?
I've tried This and it didn't work either.
Transfer your theme file (the mtz) to your computer, change the file ending from mtz to zip.
Unzip it, open the "icons" folder and then you're ready
When finished, zip all the folders again, change it to mtz, and voila!

Have tried it. I change the .mtz to .zip, extract the files, change an icon in the "icons" folder, zip the file back up, change it to .mtz and it doesn't work.
When I say it doesn't work, I mean, when I do 'import theme', it tries to, but no new themes show up in my 'offline themes'.
Also I've changed the .mtz to .rar and extracted it that way, turned it into a RAR again, and changed it to .mtz. Still nothing. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
Do I need my icons template to be the same size as all of my icons? Is something getting corrupted, or what do you think is going wrong?
I konw that the import themes works for normal themes though because I've done it.
Is it possible to transform a MIUI theme to Morph theme?
Mtz file is a zip archive where are the zip archives with no extensions (for example, file "framework-res" and rename it to "framework-res.zip" and extract).
I came to this already, what's next?
Is there anyway to extract icons out of them if not?
You have to be on miui to /use/ it, but otherwise it is simply a zip. Change the file name to .zip if you need to, and pop it open.
extracting it worked but the icons are a Unix executable file...how to you get the icons out of this file?
Wha?
Um...
Oh, right. Probably a new format .mtz
Change the icons to .zip aswell, and any other folder you want to open too.
I just extracted one too, but the icon file is not a mtz. Any thoughts?
just rename icons to icons.zip and extract
Im using 7zip and take the png and icon and convert to cm7 themes

Hello I just started theming..
Anyway, first thing i wanted to do was change the fonts in a .mtz file.
So i took the .mtz changed it to .zip extracted it..
replaced the fonts in /fonts and renamed them the exact same names (Arial, Arial-Bold, and clockopia)
Zipped up the theme, renamed it to .mtz
the fonts however do not change.
I can see it in theme chooser, but my font does not change when I apply it...
and if it does, it just changes to the default font..
Why is this?
I have tried a few fonts, all with the same result. they are .ttf which I was under the impression was okay. Is there some fonts that just wont work?
From what I read I am not doing anything wrong...
Thanks in advance..
Hi, I am trying to make changes to an icon theme but keep getting "Wrong theme format" error in the Miui v4 theme manager.
I used the same process I did back on GB that worked... renamed the .mtz to .zip, extracted it, renamed icons to icons.zip, extracted it. Then I edited .png's in the icons folder, zipped all the .png's into a file called icons.zip and removed the .zip by renaming icons.zip to just icons. Then I zipped the files: description.xml, icons, and preview folder. I renamed this .zip to a .mtz, pushed it to my phone and tried to apply the theme but got the error. I've searched but haven't found any solutions.
Has the icon theme format changed for v4? Thanks for any help.
Just take a MIUI icons set (like Cain HD for ex)
- open the .mtz using 7zip (no need to rename or change extension)
- double click on "icon", drag and drop ur icons.
- then close everything, it will ask u if u want to update/refresh the file. say YES and that's it

I would've tried this method but unfortunately I have a Mac and haven't been able to find a good 7zip equivalent :/ Any idea why it worked when I decompressed/compressed mtz's on GB but not ICS? The format all seems the same.

My guess is that somehow you didn't package it correctly. Double check to see if that's the issue.
i did it this way
if i have an iconpack in wrong size, i first resize the icons
then i mark all icons and add them to an archive with 7zip
now i take the icons.zip and the description.xml add it to a new zip
inside the zipfile, i rename the icons.zip into icons and you are ready^^
Have you tried using the 'store' option - I.e. no compression?
Changing the extension while inside the theme zip will also help to avoid certain issues.
Well I was able to get it working by using StuffIt Archive Manager to replace icons without uncompressing/compressing the mtz. Still strange it doesn't work when I uncompress it. I'm positive I package it back in the same way, I've triple checked. Guess I'll just have to use the StuffIt Delux trial for now.
