[Android General] Tough Toughman:
Tutorial for Miui Theme Transplantation to Lewa

This tutorial was first posted on The Neonado official forum. Neonado OS is translated Lewa OS, so themes generated from this tool is actually Lewa themes. The Transformers theme mentioned in the topic post was also transplanted from MIUI, and you can download it from Google Drive.

MIUI may have the world’s most profound source of themes, thanks to the millions of fans who contribute to the operating system. To make more theme manias also share the treasure, some guy built this software to convert MIUI themes for application on the Neonado OS. The program was written in Chinese, but the use of it involves only a few steps, so I make this tutorial to tell you how.

1.	Download the zip folder from my Google Cloud storage:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Qofzu1afoyODNkbHhldGRiYVk/edit?usp=sharing.

2.	Unzip the compressed files to a newly built folder anywhere on your computer. You can name it Neonado Theme Converter (henceforth abbreviated as NTC).

3.	Drag a MIUI theme file with mtz suffix to the folder.

4.	Double click the BAT-suffixed program, and we start the process of making a Neonado theme out of a MIUI one.

5.	Well, if you have only one MIUI theme for conversion, the process involves no more than pressing Enter and some number keys. You can follow me like this: Enter – 1 – Enter – 1 –Enter – 1 – Enter – 2 – Enter – 1 – Enter – 2 – Enter -- 3 – Enter – 4 – Enter – 11 – Enter.

And now you can see in the NTC folder a new file named lewa.lwt, which is exactly the end product we want. Rename it and drag it into the LEWA – Them – LWT folder on your phone storage. Finally, you’ll see the theme’s thumbnail in the Theme app pre-installed, where you can choose and apply the theme.

6.	Even if you’ve dragged more than one MIUI themes into the NTC folder aforementioned, you can convert only one of them each time and the process is different just in the step about choosing which one. OK, don’t bother but follow me: Enter – 1 – Enter – 1 –Enter – the order number of the MIUI theme you are going to convert – Enter – 2 – Enter – 1 – Enter – 2 – Enter -- 3 – Enter – 4 – Enter – 11 – Enter. As all generated Neonado Theme files are named Lewa.lwt by default, you should rename it before start next round.

7.	The above five steps, or six, will surely bring you applicable Neonado themes, but they will have the same name, and in Chinese, as shown in the Theme app. If you don’t mind, then you don’t have to take the ultimate step to change the display names. This step should be taken before you type “11” in the fifth or sixth step.

7.1	Download and Install a Ntepad++ software.

7.2	Go to the NTC – theme done folder, right click the description.xml file, and chose “Edit with Ntepad++” to open the source code editor.

7.3	In both the two namelist sections, replace the Chinese characters between the “name” tags with the name you want to display. Save to complete the renaming.

7.4	Type 11 in the MIUI to DAT-suffixed converter and then press Enter to complete the conversion.
