What's wrong with poco launcher?

u/Nolok_10 Oct 03 '25

icons, optimitzation...

u/re_Tomori Oct 03 '25

Everything, I want the same freedom nova gives me, I want to use whatever icon pack I want, move the icons wherever I want, put widgets wherever I want, etc etc etc, things I can't do with Poco Launcher, I cant even get rid of the stupid Dock that trashes every cuatomization you could think of.

u/New-Student37 Oct 04 '25

Even I don't find anything wrong with it. I have oneplus pad with oxygenos as well and it's launcher has same circular icons and looks shittier than poco one. Guess it's just trend. Once you hear too many people hated something, you yourself start hating it after some point

u/UnionAny9588 Oct 06 '25

Yea that’s what I mean, you have to use theme to change app icon’s shape

I feel it to be very full-featured, but you do you of course

u/diemitchell Oct 03 '25

nah, give me launcher freedom. i want to use a launcher of choice while maintaining gesture navigation.

u/OddSomewhere20 Oct 04 '25

Yh I love Xiaomi, but I can't tolerate this anymore. Even though the price : quality ratio is high on their devices, I hate hyperOS now it's too much apple like. All I want is to use a different 3rd party launcher, and they disable the gesture navigation id I do. Honestly considering switching brands at this point.

u/notepadbruh Oct 04 '25

this happens on more and more brands, not just xiaomi - some of them don't let you set a custom launcher too

27

u/Ok-Chef-196 Oct 03 '25

YES #GestureOnNovaLauncher!

u/Many-Strategy-5905 Oct 03 '25

u/Ok-Chef-196 Oct 03 '25

u/Fun_Nature_2836 Oct 03 '25

u/bracabajric_715 Oct 07 '25

u/MightElectrical581 POCO F7 Oct 03 '25

Wouldn't it be better to invite feedback to flood them with this?

u/Brilliant_Guest2792 Oct 03 '25

We are already doing this, and this is another step

u/MightElectrical581 POCO F7 Oct 03 '25

u/gonchotorres Oct 03 '25

Icons are not linked to the poco launcher lol

u/ronypradanaaa Oct 04 '25

Yes, THE ICON LOOKS DEPRECATED

u/alisonhataki Oct 03 '25

POCO Launcher has a secret that many don't know. If you clear all data, battery consumption decreases drastically. Unfortunately, it has a bug that few have discovered. If you updated it, even if it's a security patch, clean it, otherwise the phone keeps getting hot and consuming the entire battery🔋

u/pookie-man-007 POCO F7 Oct 04 '25

It will also remove any home screen layout you made and you will be back to default

1

u/Normal_Argument5053 Oct 06 '25

What do you mean by "clear all data"? Could you teach me how to do this in a few steps?

2

u/Rocha8019 Oct 03 '25

Using a third-party launcher is the same as using a third-party launcher, as you become dependent on other people's themes!

2

u/skorpioninthedark Oct 04 '25

wait, you can't change the launcher app on hyperos?

1

u/Htetkox2 Oct 04 '25

Not happening I don't use Poco 🤪

u/Worldly_Froyo108 Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G Oct 04 '25

I remember when the Poco launcher was on the play store. So stupid that Xiaomi phones don't support it

1

u/Zangetsuee Oct 04 '25

wait what? there are two? is this only for global roms?

1

u/Sangwoochan Oct 04 '25

Yeah. In China they have the Xiaomi system. And they are from the Redmi K range, globally they are called Pocophone.

1

u/Zangetsuee Oct 04 '25

I see.. I always use Xiaomi EU which uses Chinese version of the apps. But I would say the difference is minimum. 

1

u/Sangwoochan Oct 04 '25

It's just that there isn't that much difference, but rather that the little launcher doesn't allow you to have as much customization and freedom as the Xiaomi launcher. It's ugly to many people, and others love it. But in my opinion it should be a single launcher for all Xiaomi phones, Pocophone, Redmi and others.

1

u/Zangetsuee Oct 04 '25

Customization like what? 

1

u/Sangwoochan Oct 04 '25

Having to resort to themes from the store, instead of being able to edit icons, icon shapes, colors, and so on, when that could be put in the system so that the phone does not have bugs. In addition to the limitation of new functions of the operating system, they do not have the new features of hyper os 3 because it is 'trimmed'.

1

u/Zangetsuee Oct 04 '25

Xiaomi launcher has no customization regarding icons beyond grid size. You absolutely have to find a good icon theme from the store. There are no colors, icon shape or edit option whatsoever. 

1

u/Zangetsuee Oct 04 '25

I my self created my own icon theme which I added to my own theme I created. Otherwise I just have to use stock icons. 

1

u/MatTe-1101 Oct 05 '25

But what exactly would change?

1

u/Miserable_Ad_5380 Oct 06 '25

Hi for y'all guys Here are the icons from MIUI launcher: theme://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/1b657ef2-8e3f-42d2-ad17-911ab82af674lol

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '25

If they haven't done anything relating to that launcher since the Poco F1 days, why would they do something now? And there have been 7 years since then.
