How to add theme in Miyoo Mini (Onion)?

The Theme Switcher is one of the best apps for Miyoo Mini, especially when there are more than 120+ custom themes made for Onion OS only. With better support from the developer community, the Miyoo Mini and its bigger brother, is super user-friendly to add new theme, especially when compared to adding themes in RG35XX.

While I don’t really use this feature, I understand a need to know how to add theme in Miyoo Mini and Miyoo Mini Plus, so well, let’s check it out.

I also recommend to read my ultimate Miyoo Mini Onion guide first.

How to make custom theme for Miyoo Mini

To make custom theme for Miyoo Mini (Onion OS), you need a blueprint theme made by Aemiiii91, which can be used as the template for any new theme.

You need to compile these files in skin/extra folder:

• bootScreen.png: Custom boot screen
• Screen_Off.png: Custom shutting down screen
• Screen_Off_Save.png: Custom saving + shutting down screen (when you shut down the Miyoo Mini in-game)
• chargingState0.png -> chargingState23.png: All 24 of images for charging animation. You can also add chargingState.json containing a frame delay value (default 80 milliseconds, over 10,000 will change the unit to microseconds)

{ "frame_delay": 80 }

• lum0.png -> lum10.png: All 11 images for brightness slider
• toggle-on and toggle-off: toggle that presents in Pack Manager or Tweak.

You can also change fonts for your custom theme, by adding font paths in config.json to /mnt/SDCARD/miyoo/app/[FONT FILE]. For example:

/mnt/SDCARD/miyoo/app/BPreplayBold.otf

List of included fonts that you can download for your custom theme in Onion OS:

1. BPreplay Bold
2. Exo 2 Bold Italic
3. Helvetica Neue
4. Helvetica Neue Bold
5. WenQuanYi Micro Hei
6. Adobe Blank
