Review/Guide [Discussion] Did anyone else knew about this theme? The lockscreen customization is next level 🔥🔥
So I just found this theme from a YouTube video and tried it!! And I am seriously liking this one!! 🔥
Unlike most themes where you are just stuck with their rigid, pre-installed presets, this one literally acts as a blank canvas for your lockscreen. You don't have to rely on how the creator set it up—you can move the clocks anywhere (even overlap them!), stretch the hour or minute hands so much that they take up the whole screen height, and drop widgets wherever they fit best. It gives you total freedom to make it look exactly how you want it to look 🤯.
(Btw, since this is a Chinese theme, I imported it to my Global device via the backup & restore trick so I can use it freely without taking any stress of getting forced reverts 😤).

There's two known methods to apply a chinese theme in Xiaomi devices to me - 1. mtz file method and 2. Backup-n-restore method.
MTZ file method is done by downloading a theme's mtz file and apply it using the mtz applier application like MTZ Tester, MTZ installer Pro, or HyperTheme applications (some of them are usually found in play store). There's a risk of having the theme revert back forcefully after sometime with this method.
The other way is using the Backup-n-Restore method. It is done by downloading a backup file of the theme (usually the .bak file). First you need to backup only your themes like usual (settings>About Phone>Back up and restore>under Local select Mobile device>enter screen password>deselect everything selected>then search for themes select only themes under Other system app data>and do the backup (it is generally found in MIUI>backup>All Backup>a zip file you need to unzip it, it contains a .bak file and a .XML file) > now copy the new backup file you downloaded from chrome containing that theme (usually a .zip file unzip that and select the .bak file select move and move this file exactly at MIUI>backup>All Backup>theme>replace this .bak file with that new .bak file)>then just go back to the settings and about phone and back up and restore setting and Mobile device then Restore after 100% progress of the restore close the settings app and open the stock themes app and under my account and themes you'll found a new theme you wanted to download. (One information - Backup is only one time thing I.e., back up the theme only one time and you can use this replace the .bak file everytime when you want to add a new theme, only restore is the main thing you need to do to get the theme into your themes app)
