While not that long ago, root access was required for high-level customization on Android devices, it’s not that important today. There are several apps in the Play Store that allow you to customize almost every aspect of your device without root access. Some OEMs now also offer custom customization apps that allow you to easily personalize your device. For example, Samsung’s Good Lock is a great tool with several useful modules that you can use to change the whole look and feel of your Galaxy device. Likewise, Xiaomi’s MIUI has a built-in theme app that allows you to change various aspects of your phone’s user interface.
But did you know that you can use the MIUI Themes app to change the boot animation and charging screen of your Xiaomi device? In this post, I will walk you through the simple process to change the boot animation and charging screen of your Xiaomi Device using the Themes apps. Let’s get to the point and get started right away.
How To Change The Boot Animation On Xiaomi Phones
Changing the boot animation on Xiaomi phones is a fairly straightforward process. Just do the following to get a new boot animation on your phone:
Open the Themes app
Apply a theme that contains a custom startup animation. The Themes app does not currently have a filter to refine themes that contain a custom boot animation. You must therefore manually search for such themes. To get you started, I mentioned the names of a few themes at the end of this post that include a custom boot animation.
- Search for a supported theme in the Themes app
- Tap the green apply button to apply the theme
- Tap the profile icon in the lower right corner
- Select the option “Customize theme”
- Tap the Startup Animation option and choose one of the available options.
And you are ready to go! You can try out the new start-up animation right away by restarting your phone. To hear a custom startup sound with your new startup animation, tap Startup Sound in the Customize Theme menu and choose a different sound from the list.
How To Change The Charging Screen On Xiaomi Phones
Xiaomi has also made it quite easy to change the charging screen of its phones with the Themes app. To see a new charging screen on your phone, do the following:
Open the Themes app
Apply a theme with a custom charging screen. As with the booter animations, the Themes app does not include a filter to help you refine themes with a custom charging screen. I listed a few options you can start with at the end of this post. The new charging animation will be applied as soon as you apply the theme. However, if you want to tweak it further, you can follow the steps below.
- Search for a supported theme in the Themes app
- Tap the green apply button to apply the theme
- Click on the profile icon in the lower right corner
- Select the option “Customize theme”
- Tap “Lock Style” and on the next page tap the “Customize” button at the bottom of the MIUI Themes app
- On the next page, scroll down to the Charging section
- This section offers a wide variety of customization options that allow you to change almost every aspect of the charging screen. Note that the options may vary depending on the level of detail of a subject
- Once done, just lock your phone, plug in the charger and you will now see the new charging screen.
Themes With Custom Start-Up Animations And Charging Screens
The MIUI Themes app is home to thousands of different themes offering different levels of customization. However, as mentioned earlier, the app does not provide filters to help you fine-tune themes, including custom boot animations or charging screens.
