Since all my tutorials are based on to decompile, change some variables, and recompile to a functional apk file and currently MI2 and all its clones have themes in their apk and thus it becomes somewhat harder to change things, especially because AppToMarket doesn't work properly as it's outdated, but there is still some functionality with some changes to AppToMarket. ( Find out how )


However, I strongly recommend that you learn how to use Apktool Instead, as AppToMarket and all other decompilation software with user friendly interface uses Apktool.


A good tutorial with Apktool can be found here, you may ignore certain things in it.

How to lowercase font in View Pager and Tab Layout tabs?

It has been asked in the community on how to lowercase the tabs text.

However, to make this work you have to be comfortable in decompiling and recompiling back to apk..

Steps to follow.

  • Decompile
  • Go to ..\AppName\res\values folder
  • Open styles.xml file with a text editor (I prefer using Notepad++)
  • Find (see below, row  1548)

    <style name="TextAppearance.Design.Tab" parent="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Button">
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/design_tab_text_size</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/mtrl_tabs_legacy_text_color_selector</item>
    <item name="textAllCaps">true</item>
    </style>
  • Edit from

    <item name="textAllCaps">true</item>
  • Edit to

    <item name="textAllCaps">false</item>
  • Save and recompile
