Format	MTZ, Backup ZIP
Compatibility	HyperOS 2.0 / 3.0, MIUI 14, Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO	Immersive Depth‑of‑Field Visuals

LIUI Extreme treats the lock screen and home screen as a canvas of layered glass. Wallpapers are captured with a shallow‑focus technique that pushes the subject forward while the background blurs into a smooth bokeh. The result feels like a miniature 3‑D stage that reacts to swipes and notifications. Translucent clock typography sits atop the glass, echoing the design language of modern desktop OSes. The visual language is consistent across the status bar, quick settings, and notification shade, giving the whole device a unified, premium feel.

iOS‑Style Iconography for the Android Crowd

Over 1,500 mainstream apps receive fresh iOS‑inspired icons. Rounded corners, subtle gradients, and a unified colour palette replace the stock MIUI icons. The icon set respects the original brand identities while delivering a clean, modern silhouette. Icons sit on a semi‑transparent background that matches the lock‑screen glass, reinforcing the theme’s cohesive aesthetic. Users who have long admired Apple’s icon design will find a familiar yet Android‑compatible experience.

Who Will Love This Theme?

* Fans of depth‑rich wallpapers – If you enjoy portrait‑style images with dramatic blur, this theme showcases them at full screen. * iOS enthusiasts on Android – The icon pack delivers the Apple look without sacrificing Android flexibility. * Power users of HyperOS – The theme leverages HyperOS 2.0/3.0 features like custom lock‑screen widgets and always‑on display tweaks. * Xiaomi, Redmi, POCO owners – Tested on the flagship line‑up, the theme runs smoothly on most devices with at least 4 GB RAM.

Compatibility and Performance Notes

The theme declares compatibility with HyperOS 2.0, HyperOS 3.0, and MIUI 14. It works on devices running the stock Global Stable ROM as well as on popular custom ROMs such as Xiaomi EU and MIUIRoom. Because the theme uses high‑resolution wallpapers and a glass overlay, devices with limited GPU power may notice a slight dip in animation smoothness, especially on older Snapdragon 600‑series chips. However, most mid‑range and flagship devices handle the theme flawlessly.

Installation Expectations

1. Download the MTZ file – Locate the “LIUI Extreme Theme mtz File” in the download section. 2. Open Theme Store – Launch the pre‑installed Theme Store app. 3. Import – Tap the three‑dot menu, choose Import, then select the downloaded MTZ. 4. Apply – After import, hit Apply. The theme will replace the system wallpaper, icons, lock‑screen layout, and AOD style. 5. Restart – A quick reboot ensures all overlays render correctly and avoids visual glitches.

If you prefer a manual backup, the “LIUI Extreme Theme Backup File” (ZIP) contains the raw assets. Extract it to a folder, then use a file manager to copy the icons or wallpapers individually. This method is handy for users who only want the icon pack without the full lock‑screen overhaul.
