I am having problems in few recent versions of MIUI roms, whenever I apply any theme or customize and change dialer theme, it doesn't have any effect and only Default is shown. Any guidance would be appreciated
What version of MIUI are you using? If you use v4 MIUI, there are only a few themes available for this version that would change everything.
The ones I know that are for v4 are VA_Aura, MeeUI, metro and I think a few more.
Thanks for quick help. Currently I am using same ROM as yours, will try the themes as you mentioned and update.

Tried suggested themes but still dialer is not changed
I am using S3 on 4.4.4 CyanogenMod M8 and I would like to browse more and install themes. Where do I start? Can someone point me to the step -by-step guide?
Thanks in advance
Well it looks like you have CyangenMod so you have Theme Chooser built in.
There is a dedicated section here at XDA which provides a huge variety of custom themes.
Link - http://goo.gl/64Umtk
Guide on how to change/install themes.
Find a theme you like, download the apk. Then install the theme .apk.
Once installed, simply go to Settings, and open Theme Chooser. From there select the theme you wish to use.
Reboot your phone to apply any changes that haven't been made.
Enjoy your new look.
I just updated my XT925 to CM11 (jbbl) and downloaded 3 themes from Google Play store to my phone. However, when I opened up Theme chooser under Setting, I could only see 2 downloaded themes instead of 3 plus the system theme. Does the Theme chooser in CM11 only allow maximum of 3 themes including system theme to be picked ?
Thanks,

Hi ,
I'm trying to build a custom rom for the jiayu g4 with as base stock kitkat rom.
Now, I would like to add theme ability to the rom. Not with xposed framework or such, just a theme chooser like in the xperia and cm settings.
Can anyone help me with this? The intension is to have such setting (or app that I can link to settings) to easely change the theme.
If there's an option to do this, but specific for my kind of phone (so no theme's exist yet), I wouldn't mind theming a bit. In that case I could provide the users with 3 or 4 different UI collours and different icons or such to choose from.
Thanks,
Louis

You could try adding the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM and offer some themes for it but that isn't device specific as such. That would most likely be the easy option where something else could take a lot of time though.

How can i add the Cyanogenmod theme chooser into the ROM? Isn't the cyanogenmod theme engine built in in the framework and very difficult to add to a ROM?

It is built into the framework and requires an AOSP based rom. Also the version for that OS had a ton of issues that were never fixed as it abandoned for the newer setup

So you're telling me I must not try to add the cyanogenmod theme engine? What would be the easiest way to add some theme's then? It doesn't have to be theming like in cyanogenmod or such. Just changing the theme collour from as example black to blue would be enough for me. Then I can provide them with the themes black, blue, red, green or such.
Thanks for taking the time to answer

To do what you want you would have to rewrite all the base framework files and add everything in by hand. To be honest it will be far more work then it is worth. Your best option would be to make flashable theme zips, where you change all the color options to each and every single apk in the rom.

wouldn't it work to just change the systemui or such so the status bar, volume pannel, settings etc change collour and maybe some icons (like wifi, bt,..)? And then I could search for an app that automaticaly flashes zip's, that way the users just need to choose the theme they want and the phone does the rest himself?
Or is there a way to implend xposed modules into the system so I can use XthemeEngine without having to install xposed module? Or implend xposed framework and XthemeEngine in the ROM so you just flash it with the rest of the ROM? But in that last case, it maybe would be stupid to do the work for it as everyone can easily find out about XthemeEngine if they realy want to apply some themes. Plus xposed and XthemeEngine would be 2 apps taking space in the drawer and memory wasting for the users who don't want to theme..

Well thats the thing. The volume panel color shares its color with the rest of the menus in the rom, The settings is set by the settings apk and the icons are scattered across a ton of different apks. Some in the framework and some in the system ui.
The xposed route is up to you. I find no use for xposed myself.
Ill be honest there is no easy way to do this. What you want to do takes weeks worth of work even for a single color theme. This is due to everything being cross linked to everything else. You change the color for say the clock then the color changes in 50 other places as well.
The themes that I install from the playstore or even from the storage doesn't show up on the theme engine except the default system theme and there are no other options I find to make myself successful in changing the theme on my cm11. I've attached a screenshot so you can have a look at it. What am i doing wrong ? I don't even see any font option and stuffs inside the theme option. Please do help!
If its CM themes you need to have Cyanogenmod ROM in ur phone. Else it doesnt work !
