According to Xiaomi’s CEO, it is a heavily modified Android and Vela (Xiaomi’s IoT OS based on the open source embedded OS Nuttx) to replace MIUI in all Xiaomi mobile, auto, and intelligent home products.
I just got my bran new Xiaomi 13T Pro 12/512 today. Man MIUI sucks, I was so looking forward for this phone, because the hardware is very cool IMO.
But between the crapware you can’t uninstall, and generally bad software decisions, they manage to create an absolute horror show of an experience.
How the f… did they think this crap was a good idea? I’m seriously planning to return it.
My 3 year old Moto G9 Power that cost only 1/3 of what this shit show cost, had a better user experience!!!
I have absolutely confidence “HyperOS” will be shit too. This is a serious software management problem, that will 99.9% sure carry over.
Thank you I might look into that. 👍 😀
I was pretty annoyed that day, and had actually decided to return it, and had reset it to factory defaults.
But a good nights sleep made me reconsider, and the next day I tried again, this time knowing most of what I needed to do. So I finally managed to configure it much more to my liking, and have decided to keep it.
I’m actually glad that you allowed yourself to let the first reactions subside, found a way to customize system to your liking, and gave MIUI another chance. I’ve heard MIUI users everywhere say ‘shit MIUI,’ but it seems to my luck that I’ve never been able to understand why. Though, as soon as I got my Poco, I immediately flashed Xiaomi eu ROM (which is essentially the original Chinese MIUI version with all the its features but with ads removed), and I’m really satisfied. MIUI is feature-rich, and to have some of those on some other Android/ROM, you’d need to install additional apps.
With this tool, I uninstalled about 40 apps and disabled around 10 (in settings you can choose to uninstall or disable).
And if you’re rooted or have Shizuku, there are other methods to do this directly from the phone. For example, AppManager is my favorite
The only downside in chinies product is that they’ve the ability to copy & mass produce. But they don’t have a plan to compete & sustainability for long-term users.
After renaming the UI, now it’s the time to target new customers & try to build a loyalty with them.
I hope It will still have easy openable bootloader, so I could sideload whatever rom I want.
i hope that miui eu devs will also jump to hyperos.
miui eu is so so much better than bloated global roms… and this is my go-to custom rom everytime i replace my Xiaomi smartphone.
I bought a refurbished Xiaomi. Unfortunately no Lineage OS for it. Damn
Just what phones need, an IoT OS. Those are renown for quality and security. /s
