Best MIUI Themes for Stock Android Look
I have tried the following themes on my Poco X2 running MIUI 11. All themes worked fine with no issues. Most themes will also work with older MIUI smartphones. With that out of the way, let’s move on to our list, shall we?
1. Pixel Experience Dark
Pixel Experience is arguably the best MIUI theme on the official Xiaomi theme store. I say this for two reasons: the theme was well designed sync fonts, wallpaper, and dark mode with the Pixel 4’s aesthetic. And secondly, it doesn’t slow down the device after applying the theme, which is great. Also, the icon shape has the design language of Google Material and are all uniform in shape giving a very chunky look on MIUI. Importantly, there are plenty of customization options including ‘Text Lock Screen Clock’ which is available on Pixel devices and much more. So to put it plainly, if you want the best MIUI theme to have stock Android experience on MIUI 11, Pixel Experience Dark is the perfect choice.
2. PixPie Dark
PixPie Dark is another heavy theme that completely changes the look of your MIUI device to a Stock Android device. In more than one way, you will find that the theme is quite similar to OxygenOS and also contains elements of Google Pixel software. And I love the mix of two distinct and hugely popular stock Android skins. Like I said, this is a full theme – unlike other themes which only change your wallpaper and icon – it will change your lock screen, system items such as the bar. status, notifications, the quick configuration panel, icons and of course, the wallpaper. On top of that, PixPie Dark is an updated theme and supports the new MIUI 11 version on a range of Mi, Redmi, and Poco devices.
3. Pixel Q Light
If you like light mode, I would recommend Pixel Q Light theme over MIUI which is as good as the other two themes mentioned above. It comes with the classic Google Wallpaper, icons designed by Material, a clean and separate quick settings page and more. The theme also applies to the main settings page and keyboard, making the whole UI light and vibrant in the classic Google way. What I like most about this theme is that it is quite light and does not bog your smartphone in any way. Also, you have the Stock Android look on the lock screen with two quick features on either side. Overall, if you are looking for the best MIUI theme to make your Xiaomi device look like Stock Android, the Pixel Q Light theme will not disappoint.
4.Android Go v2
Android Go v2 is very reminiscent of the Android Go operating system – a lite version of Stock Android. Incidentally, Xiaomi has also released a device called Redmi Go which comes with Android Go OS. So if you want that simpler look on your MIUI based device, Android Go v2 is a top notch theme. It completely simplifies the user interface with essential apps on the home screen and a less cluttered Quick Control Panel. Other than that, it cuts the overall RAM usage to zero as it only has a 2.3MB memory footprint which results in better performance. I would say if you have low level Redmi device then apply this Android Go theme for classic look and better performance.
5.Android 10 Dark DWM2
Android 10 Dark DWM2 theme is for users who want full dark mode but in Google’s material design language. It uses a stock pixel device wallpaper and changes the icon’s shape to circular for a uniform look. Other than that, the home screen grid size is 5 × 5, but if you want more of a Stock look, you can enable the app drawer from our article on the page hidden settings of MIUI 11. In addition, dark mode extends to other system apps, such as dialer, Mi browser, settings and more. This theme also changes the font to condensed Roboto font and it looks pretty good on a Xiaomi device. To set the record straight, if you want the Stock Android experience in full dark mode, check out this theme.
6. Android P
Android 10 is here, so you can’t be blamed for finding a theme that looks like the new look. Android P theme is based on Android Pie and as you can see it features the same white and blue theme everywhere. In fact, the quick settings icons are so well designed that anyone could easily mistake your device as a device running Android 9 Pie. If you love whites and want your device to look like Android P, well, this just might be the perfect theme for you.
7. Pineapple
Well, Android P turned out to be Pie and not Pineapple, but it’s a great theme nonetheless. In fact, it’s one of the cleanest themes of the bunch and looks a lot like Android 9 Pie. The theme offers a clean dock, as well as Android Pie-style quick settings switches. The lock screen, on the other hand, is slightly offset on my device because the theme doesn’t support 18: 9 ratios. Still, if you can look past the lock screen, you get an experience. AOSP close to stock, which is kind of the subject of this listing.
8. Pure Android P
Pure Android P is another MIUI theme based on Android 9 Pie. The theme has one of the sharpest looks, and really does a great job of replicating the overall look of Android Pie. The quick settings icons have their own shadow and actually look like a cross between Android Pie and MIUI. The theme comes with a still image of the Pixel 2 live wallpaper and looks pretty neat. However, the lock screen can be something that has a mixed opinion, as it pretty much looks like the home screen only. Nevertheless, it gives you access to customizable shortcuts, which is always a plus in my book.
9. Android One
Android One is one of the cleanest forms of Android available for OEMs, and the same can be said for this theme here. The Android One theme is quite similar to those found on Android One devices, with the circular icons, folder icons, the Pixel widget and more. The icons in the status bar also closely resemble those in AOSP. Personally, I really like this theme just because it doesn’t add a lot of bells and whistles but looks simple just like Stock Android should too.
10. Android origin
Origin is an open source theme project that brings the basic look of Android 8.0 Oreo to your Xiaomi device. His free to download and Includes translucent dock, rounded icons, notification shadow, and stock Android-like lock screen. It also causes a change in the quick settings and looks quite similar to the original AOSP. The theme also comes with a cool set of wallpapers, so if you are looking for a MIUI theme that looks like AOSP perfectly, then Android Origin is easily one of the best choices.
11. Oxygen 999
Stock Android is great, but there are some things I love about OxygenOS, especially with the way it merges Stock AOSP with its own UI elements. Well if you share the same emotions then Oxygen 999 theme is for you. The theme gives you Android Nougat home screen, lock screen and call experience. While you don’t get any additional customization features, the fact that the general appearance is the same as OxygenOS should be enough for most users. The theme literally makes your device look like the OnePlus 3 / 3T, which I personally appreciate a lot, but it comes at the cost of a poorly rendered lock screen.
12. Extended AOSP
No no, I am not asking you to install AOSP Extended Custom ROM on your device, although it is one of my favorite ROMs. However, AOSP Extended theme aims to give you pretty much the same ‘extended’ look on your MIUI device. The AOSP Extended theme features circular icons with a dark gray / black theme all around. I especially like the quick settings of this theme, which provides a transparent look to the background. The theme is one of the most stable I’ve used, and while it’s not AOSP per se, it’s much better in every way, thanks to the stability and custom icons.
