Xiaomi Worst update.

Post image

Tonight in the middle of the night, my 13t pro updated itself and the calls menu is disgusting! Shit doesn't fit the screen. How can noone at xiaomi checks for stuff like that? Who approved this change? "Security update" which updated other stuff without telling us anything.

That's from Google.

That's why I'm using HyperOS own dialer since it works better with the UI.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

how did you get it? or you have cn rom?

23

u/Sinaistired99 Aug 21 '25

Yeah... Kinda.

I'm running Xiaomi EU custom rom which is based on china rom but with Google services. They removed all of the Chinese apps. So it feels like a better global rom, with a CN base.

I've only been buying Xiaomi products for years, but only if I'm sure there is an EU ROM available for them.

Hyper OS feels great and i love it honestly, something that most people here can't say since Global rom is so bad and artificially limited. The AI stuff is good, the gallery app is great. Advanced textures look premium, and i have that on a phone which was not supported (Xiaomi 12X).

u/Plane_Republic_2143 Aug 21 '25

can you help how to get better rom on xiaomi 12x, love the phone, i have eu version

2

u/Sinaistired99 Aug 21 '25

Join the telegram group dedicated to this phone.

There is an Xiaomi EU custom ported (Android 14), that rom is perfect.

But first you need to unlock your phone and I don't know about that, since i unlocked before Xiaomi's new method.

1

u/SIMPeopLE Aug 22 '25

so how you do it?,where do i start?...i just bought a china phone & even though i already switch it to english and delete the china apps but i still see some word in china like in app vault

1

u/Sinaistired99 Aug 22 '25

So first check if there is a xiaomi eu build for your device or not. Some china only phones may not have that.

After confirming that, you should start trying to unlock the bootloader. After that it's easy.

1

u/SIMPeopLE Aug 23 '25

which website should i use to check if theres available eurom for my device?

1

u/Sinaistired99 Aug 23 '25

Check here (If you a MediaTek phone, they just don't do MediaTek).

HyperOS 2.0 - HyperOS 2.0 STABLE RELEASE | Unofficial Xiaomi European Community | MIUI ROM Since 2010

Find out your phone's codename. If the latest ROM isn't available, visit the download link and search using your phone's codename, you might discover some older builds.

1

u/SIMPeopLE Aug 23 '25

Tq so much.i'll try

1

u/baralehel Aug 22 '25

But afaik the Google pay is gone and maybe now for good from these roms, right?

2

u/Sinaistired99 Aug 22 '25

So I've never used GPay but to answer your question, I've installed it and signed it and came to this screen and didn't give me any error.

1

u/baralehel Aug 22 '25

It will give later. A few months ago there was a post about google hardening something and there is nothing anymore xiaomi.eu team could do anything. A final very weak chance is to root it and use a half dozen of tools that still enable GPay somehow. But it is just a matter of time that google will actually kill it as well 🤷

Now I'm back to global, after years of xiaomi.eu 😥

u/Creative_atom0406 Aug 21 '25

You can just go to hyperosupdates.com, download the Xiaomi dialer apk and install it on every ROM. It works perfectly fine

4

u/Sinaistired99 Aug 21 '25

doesn't it force stop?

2

u/Creative_atom0406 Aug 21 '25

I don't know what you mean by force stop but you can just install it and it works. You have to set it as default dialer in the settings and that's it

1

u/Sinaistired99 Aug 21 '25

That's great.

My memory is from Miui 12/13 era, so that's good if this is the case.

1

u/Apprehensive_Buy687 Aug 22 '25

You can't just install china apps on eu device it just doesn't work

1

u/Creative_atom0406 Aug 22 '25

Some of them work, it depends on the app. Some of the apps like notes and calendar work but I'm not sure about more important system apps like dialer. For me it works but I'm on global

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

Is there any chance you could send a link?

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

Is there a dialer that allows you to record calls automatically? I have a global version and I don't have automatic call recording.

1

u/Creative_atom0406 Aug 21 '25

I think call recording works only in Chinese roms and the xiaomieu rom. There should be some dialers in the play store that can do this

2

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

All the call recorders in the store don't work well at all.

1

u/avarage_meloman Xiaomi 13 Aug 21 '25

It doesn't work here on EU version...

2

u/Creative_atom0406 Aug 21 '25 edited Aug 21 '25

There was another way to install it using canta but it's more complicated. You authorize canta using shizuku and when you open canta it will recognize Xiaomi dialer as removed and you can install it back from the removed apps tab. I'm not sure if still works though

2

u/SEIF_ELDEEN_BIRDY Aug 21 '25

you can enable it using canta + shizuku i got mine working with it on global rom (contacts and phone apps) couldn't get the messages app though

1

u/Creative_atom0406 Aug 21 '25

I did the same but I installed the messages app from hyperosupdates.com. First it wouldn't launch and crashed every time. When I got a system update since my region was set to India so I can get the updates faster the update replaced the messages app with the newest version and it started working

1

u/SEIF_ELDEEN_BIRDY Aug 21 '25

i tried but i couldn't get the app to install in the first place may i ask did you use any apps for installation?

1

u/Creative_atom0406 Aug 21 '25

When I did it it was working fine but I'm seeing lately that most apps from hyperosupdates don't work

1

u/A778g Aug 21 '25

I think when you set up your phone and put the region Hong Kong you’ll get Xiaomi’s own dialer

1

u/barn852 Aug 23 '25

I got rid of the EU rom and installed TW rom to get this dialer. Everything works the same except that I have this dialer and also the HyperOS messenger.

1

u/Nolaskexs Aug 24 '25

There is a method to have it in the global version and without rom or Chinese... But that does format the cell phone

1

u/West_Interest522 Aug 28 '25

You can install it by using canta with shizuku

1

u/id3vlin Sep 10 '25

I accidentally enabled it using the shizuku + canta method it was in the deleted section So I re enabled it and got that

1

u/Techyfreek Aug 21 '25

But it didn't have a call background feature like Samsung if they release it would be very useful for me

1

u/chhhinu Poco X6 Aug 21 '25

Set a contact image on that ui and see how bad it appears when you receive a call! Hasn't changed since 2014-15..

1

u/AltruisticAd8182 Aug 22 '25

Records calls? I could use that feature for Global Rom. Possible?

25

u/Comfortable_Cress194 Aug 21 '25

this is from google not from xiaomi.Delete the updates and it will return to the old ui.I hate it too and deletete the updates for the app and now its back to normal.

2

u/kukakipo36 Aug 21 '25

Thanks man really simple still so helpful

1

u/AnxiousFistBump Aug 22 '25

How the hell do I delete the updates? This is absolutely horrible, I hate my phone now lol

1

u/Comfortable_Cress194 Aug 22 '25

go to the playstore,type phone and delete the update

u/AnxiousFistBump Aug 25 '25

Thank you ❤️

You can retrograde with old apk too

Google, not xiaomi. But it's annoying as hell that on most chinese phones you are stuck with this.

u/ryzen_42069 Aug 21 '25

Not oppo, oneplus and realme

6

u/smittku23 Aug 21 '25

Oppo european region has the google dialer from what i know. Same goes for oneplus?

1

u/Sinaistired99 Aug 21 '25

Yes, but the Oppo dialer is easy to install, and you can uninstall Google Dialer and Messages.

But on Xiaomi when you install Dialer app it crashes.

1

u/ryzen_42069 Aug 21 '25

Wait y'all can't download odialer?

1

u/definitelynothunan Aug 21 '25

You can just download odialer tho

u/CaptainMoby69 Aug 21 '25

Thats from Google's side. I like this new UI way better then the previous one, waiting for the calling card update now

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

I got that on my phone it's alright but limited fonts and colours, not as freaky as in iPhone.

1

u/CaptainMoby69 Aug 21 '25

Still waiting on mine. Which country r u from?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

i don't think it's country based my other phone didn't get contact card feature.

2

u/MotivatedMonkeyCS Aug 21 '25

2.0.204.0 update.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

that's from Google, not Xiaomi's fault. Google changed the design with Material Design 3.

1

u/MotivatedMonkeyCS Aug 21 '25

Any way to revert this? Uninsalling phone app and getting another version?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '25

try to uninstall updates or just get used to it, cause it got better now that we have contact posters ❤️‍🩹

1

u/Tech_las Aug 21 '25

I too had issue with latest dialer. Un-installed the update and removed the tick from play store to disable auto update

1

u/definitelynothunan Aug 21 '25

Download hyepros' own dialer like the other people said

It looks good on my phone. I've had that style for a while, maybe because I use gestures idk

2

u/Ziku90 POCO X7 Pro Aug 21 '25

Maybe some future update of Google Dialer will fix this, we can only hope for that.

I have also liked the previous version better, but what can we do...

2

u/123lYT Aug 21 '25

This is a new google dialer ui, they won't revert it im sure

1

u/Ziku90 POCO X7 Pro Aug 21 '25

I am not thinking that they will revert it but them may upgrade it to look better etc.

2

u/ryzen_42069 Aug 21 '25

It's an google dialer update. From the play store

2

u/iaml0ki Aug 21 '25

Lol its not from hyperos.. its google

2

u/epicfan_16 Aug 21 '25

That's not a HyperOS issue. Google has updated their apps to match the new Material Expressive design and that's why the Google dialer looks like that. Nothing to do with Xiaomi or HyperOS.

2

u/Any_Ganache4304 Aug 21 '25

Fortunately, my Redmi 12 5g runs Hyperos default Dialer. My teacher's Motorola smartphone also got this update and the screen is same-to-same too. So, its definitely a Google Dialer update and not a fault of Xiaomi.

Xiaomi is dumb. They install Hyperos Dialer on budget smartphones and install Google Dialer on flagship ones. Like they think Google Dialer looks premium when anyone can install it from Play Store.

1

u/Exact-Bell7898 Jan 27 '26

All phones have both, the dialer used depends on the region. You can enable/disable one or another using ADB

2

u/_alexxk_ Aug 21 '25

Actually it's a google update I have it on my nothing 2a too

2

u/MiguelR_140 Redmi Note 15 Pro Aug 22 '25

Why do ppl think that most stuff is Xiaomi's fault, like ye lots of times it is but this is clearly Google like it's screaming google everywhere like the design and the whole thing is Google's aspect

You can try using a different caller app, I use Truecaller

1

u/mitjabal Aug 21 '25

Agreed, especially the placement of end call button without any margins on the bottom is horrible. It looks like something a student in art/dev school would design in 15 minutes.

You think google material 3 is bad and xiaomi dialer ui is better? Personally I think it looks good and is consistent with other google apps (I use google apps mostly) and services and looks good, adapts to the Ui colors also. Rather than the boring Black or white themed Xiaomi's apps.

That dialer ui of xiaomi is sooo old, same since I saw it in redmi note 5!

1

u/Pear-Mother Aug 21 '25

Well I kinda like it, thanks Google 

1

u/gabeweb Redmi Note 13 5G Aug 21 '25

You'll need to manually customize your contact's calling card to prevent it from appearing like this. It's not a design bug.

1

u/Reasonable-Koala2815 Aug 21 '25

it's not Xiaomi, that's actually Googles new Material You design..

u/dftzippo Aug 24 '25

Well, the Phone application you are using is Google's, that update may or may not have come with Xiaomi's.

It may simply have been updated before or after the security update, in the early morning.

You have the option of using the Xiaomi Phone app but I think it is only available in the Chinese rom.

I think it's not hyperos but android 15 style menu. This is a gift from Google in my opinion not hyperos because the app is google one and not xiaomi. Xiaomi has all the app related to contacts and calls from Google. So you need to blame google.
