We know that there are several icon packs available in the play store, however those icon packs are not supported by default MIUI launcher which comes pre-installed with xiaomi devices. MIUI themes is one of the option but, not most of the icons are optimized. There are several launchers available in the play store that can be used to add icon packs but why not the default launcher supports third party icon packs available on play store. This question started pinning me everyday, and I started searching alternative to that. Soon after I found out the solution for that. I have given the detailed explanation on how to apply icon packs on default MIUI launcher and links of some theme which I have created.
1. First of all download the app called miui theme editor from the play store.
2. Secondly download some icon pack from play store.
3. Then click on pick a theme, this will open up your theme collection in a small window, then select any theme on which you want to apply icon packs and click on start which is at the bottom.
4. You will get a lots of options to play around like fonts, icons, wallpapers etc. For applying an icon pack, click on apps icon which is on the right.
5. Then select on "import whole icon pack" and select your downloaded icon pack.
6. If you want dynamic icons for weather and clock (works in real time) then click on "edit dynamic icons" and choose your favorite pattern.
7. Then go to "select icons manually" and click on icon package on the top and select the downloaded icon pack.
8. There will be a list of apps with a modified icons, however some of the apps are not optimized to your icon packs, so choose that app and apply any icon in the list of the icon pack. Do it for every app which is not optimized for your icon set.
9. click done and got to extra. Reduce the icon size from 64 to 56.
10. go back and click next and then click finish.
11. wait for the process to complete. it takes some time to complete. when it finishes it will ask to install the theme, click on yes. Then it will clear the data. that it.. DONE.
12. Go to your theme app on miui and apply the theme. Wholaaa, brand new third party icon pack on your MIUI device without a root.
These are some of the pics if you find it difficult to do it.
13. These are some of the themes which I have created. hope you like it.
