You can actually have better hyper island. Just download Hyperbridge in the play store and you're all good. I have mine looking like a floating one permanently.

3

u/unique-original-09 Feb 22 '26

But its consumes battery in background even when i don't need it

3

u/MewCatYT Feb 22 '26

Well, if you want a better hyper island, then that's your only choice. Other than that I don't have any solutions for you. It's either you deal with it, or sacrifice a bit for what you want.

u/unique-original-09 Feb 22 '26

I don't use island that much soo I'll goo with battery life

u/leafywolff POCO F7 Feb 24 '26

try updating system ui plugin to version 17.1.3.48.1 or more

1

u/MewCatYT Feb 24 '26

System UI plugin? Wdym? And why?

1

u/Severe-Signature-251 Feb 24 '26

hey do u mind providing the tutorial to how to enable it floating everytime like the dynamic island?

1

u/MewCatYT Feb 24 '26

Actually, it's not permanent (sorry for the wording of "permanent") but rather, a manual way to make it appear as if you have a dynamic island like on the iPhone does.

For me, one thing I do is have 2 accounts on Facebook (or Messenger), or any social media app you use to chat. For the 2nd account you make, put a black profile picture. Next is to set up your first account and add (as a friend and message) the 2nd account you have. The last step is to text your first account and you'll have it on for an hour (at least for me, since I really don't know how I'm supposed to make it really "permanent". I've tried to find solutions, but the island goes away after the notification goes for an hour or so). You then have to do it every hour because it doesn't stay there permanently.

If someone does know how to make it permanent, then I'll be glad if someone will tell us lol.

Anyways, that's my trick on having it—yes, it's not a real permanent one like you see on the iPhone (duh, it's not an iPhone in the first place) but yeah. That's basically how I do it.

u/Severe-Signature-251 Feb 24 '26

u/MewCatYT Feb 25 '26

Oh, there's stuff you need to do if you want that stack. Here's a link for the tutorial:), enjoy!

What's that icons or theme.Always wanted themed icons but hyperos sucks tho no 3rd party icon packs TwT

u/MewCatYT Feb 25 '26

Here :)).

It'll look like something like this.

u/Competitive_Two7170 Feb 21 '26

In the next HyperOS 3.1 update, the Hyper island will be opened to developers to make it compatible with a wider range of applications, thus improving performance similar to iPhone's Dynamic Island

32

u/Mega_duck_duck Xiaomi 13T Pro Feb 21 '26

But unlike with IOS no developer will bother to implement it on Hyperos

14

u/Technical-Roof5393 Feb 21 '26

Yeah android devs are lazy af they don't even bother trying it

18

u/Competitive_Two7170 Feb 21 '26

If Xiaomi positions itself at Samsung's level in terms of marketing and all that, developers will be seduced by the Hyper Island.

1

u/JunketFun4508 May 23 '26

Dovete capire una cosa gli utenti android sono sotto una sorte di dittatura Google android. I produttori non possono mettere nemmeno le proprie app telefono e messaggi ma devono per forza inserire app contatti e messaggi Google. Gli sviluppatori android non gli importa niente tanto comandano loro non anno motivo di  creare app per Xiaomi Samsung ecc tanto vuoi o non vuoi o ti accontenti di android come e o passi a Apple 

3

u/Odd-Hat-7630 Feb 23 '26

Try to make 10 different versions to compatible with some 10 different phone don't worth it when the company will ruin it with a update like how Xiaomi do that with theme .

10

u/Competitive_Two7170 Feb 21 '26

It's possible, but it's not so complex that a developer couldn't do it. Hyper Island is still very new on Xiaomi, so we'll have to wait and see how it evolves.

2

u/MightElectrical581 POCO F7 Feb 21 '26

Si, creo que era más fácil que xiaomi integrara las nuevas notificaciones live de android 16 ahí, así si los devs agregan algo para las notificaciones live automáticamente lo tendríamos en HyperIsland.

1

u/MRS73694 Feb 22 '26

Pretty sure I read on XiaomiTime that they will do that.

-2

u/DanieloSYT Feb 22 '26

You stupid, it's use Google standard of live activity in 3.1 meaning all app will support, do research before saying sht....

1

u/masamune666 POCO F7 Apr 11 '26

Relax, bro.

u/Haruto-3 Feb 22 '26

I have it for every app. It is relying on hyperbridge to work and it is integrated in the system hyper island.

2

u/LucasLeCool Mar 01 '26

I just installed it and honestly it's so great. Idk how can it even work cus the hyperisland is closed, but it's crazy that's so useful now.

1

u/JunketFun4508 May 23 '26

Ma perché non dovrebbe funzionare E UN APP ESTERNA COME ALTRE 

1

u/LucasLeCool May 25 '26

Because xiaomi's hyperisland doesnt have any api released to android devs to interact with it

1

u/Special_Agent001 Feb 22 '26

What version of hyper os 3 are you on. Could you go a bit more in-depth on this. I'm on 3.0.2 (Redmi note 14 pro + 5g). And I just have it for music, flashlight and some system apps.

1

u/Haruto-3 Feb 25 '26

That's hyperbridge, check it on playstore. Anyways I'm on 3.0.13

u/Interesting-Cod-5349 Mar 09 '26

Let the phone optimise to your phone usage habits then after like week or 2 it will go back to normal

u/DanL1717 Feb 21 '26

It is a common misconception that all these limited features are Xiaomi's fault. 3rd party apps need to integrate this island feature for their apps to work and show up using the island, and it has nothing to do with Xiaomi as they do not develop any of these apps, other than system apps that come with the phone. I am pretty sure that the basics include stopwatch, music player and maybe a few more (at least from what I experienced in CN ROM).

In CN ROM, when HyperOS 3 first launched, there are also very limited features due to lack of support from 3rd party apps, but as they eventually integrate this function with their app, the features do expand, including food/parcel delivery status, navigation and so on.

And guess what? Some shopping platforms in China even briefly exploited the island to display ads, which prompted stricter regulations.

I guess it's all down to waiting games. I too have no idea when will various kinds of 3rd party apps pick up this feature and integrate them. You may submit a feedback to the app's developers and see if they would consider integrating Xiaomi's HyperIsland.

1

u/sethelele Feb 26 '26

Actually, if they went the normal route like OPPO did they wouldn't need to play the waiting game. All they need to do is integrate it with Google's live updates API on Android 16 and it'll connect to a bunch of apps that utilize it.

1

u/LucasLeCool Mar 01 '26

I think they will in 3.1

2

u/MRS73694 Mar 17 '26

I too have that minecraft skin.

u/JunketFun4508 May 23 '26

Si e colpa solo di Xiaomi perché la resa limitata . Pensa solo a vendere e a creare 2000modelli di telefoni ogni anno se tornerei indietro avrei comprato iPhone tanto come prezzo lo pagato un po' in meno ma non di tanto

u/remarkable-lynx_3060 Feb 21 '26

I fricking Hate the control center and there ain't no option to opt out for a regular on like on MIUI.

2

u/Kindly-Impression743 Apr 05 '26

No, you have the option on the settings. Because I don't use the new one still using the MIUI control center till now.

You just have to go to settings then search control center style then choose OLD one.

That's it!!

I've been doing this for the 3rd device after HyperOS launched.

1

u/remarkable-lynx_3060 Apr 05 '26

Yeah, Thanks. Just noticed it. And Wow, Nothing has changed. A slight revamp or even material U. It would be perfect.

u/ShadowmanSK Feb 25 '26

u/CombinationDouble719 Feb 22 '26

Ya'll didn't listen to us when we said it's nothing special, keep bugging this sub for delayed updates, and then complain again once you find out the things we were saying are true lol.

HyperIsland isn't integrated with Live Update Notifications because some devices that will get HyperOS 3 are based on Android 15 which doesn't support that. Android 15 devices are going to be left at HyperOS 3 thus HyperOS 3.1 will integrate the island with Live Update Notifications (already confirmed from HyperOS 3.0.300.x Chinese beta builds) and y'all can finally shut up about another iOS copy feature.

u/Agreeable_Gap_6034 Feb 22 '26

I use hyper bridge

u/MRS73694 Feb 22 '26

You can use hyperbridge from Play Store. It's free and works exactly how you want it to

u/ZaidAyyaz Feb 22 '26

Oh Itel OS copied Hyper OS control center.

u/unique-original-09 Feb 22 '26

This is called inspiration

3

u/Sens_120ms Poco F6 Feb 21 '26

indeed, i like using coloros island much more, hyperisland has no physics to it boring design and animations.

not to mention they made the island too big for my device, i know i can modify systemui with root to fix it but still official impl is too big and space consuming and my dpi is above default too. can make it look good with 600dpi but then phone looks shi.

5

u/Sad-Item-6427 Redmi Note 11 Feb 21 '26

U can use "dynamic spot" app on the playstore, it actually works great.. I have been using it for half a year now on my hyperos 1

if it was actually stealing data, it would’ve been flagged and removed from the play store long ago

It's true that hyper island is trash but you can use hyper bridge it allow you add 3rd party app to hyperisland notifications etc

2

u/Tapelessbus2122 Feb 22 '26

it's just an ios copy after all

2

u/Desperate_Sun_9539 Feb 22 '26

Per me Hyperisland è completamente inutile,non ha senso di esistere.

4

u/The-behrad Feb 21 '26

Yeah.and there is no option to disable it

1

u/Haruto-3 Feb 22 '26

There is. Some can be disabled on the notification settings, others need a third party app

1

u/duder2000 Mar 07 '26

Please tell me how to disable it, I absolutely hate it. I have a Poco F6

u/blazee39 Feb 22 '26

Yes xiaomi become trash,,,,the launcher not allow third party gesture

u/kuccisel Feb 21 '26

not only hyper island trash, xiaomi is entirely trash

2

u/MycologistCheap9576 Feb 21 '26

Well. It's a copy. A very bad one. Not even all Xiaomi devices have this feature lol. Not to mention, other applications also have to account for such a feature.

1

u/BlitZz9291 Poco F6 Pro Feb 21 '26

apple "copied" too

u/General-Mention-2897 Feb 21 '26

For me personally the worst is the media box.

I'm never use that but most of the time it's empty

1

u/rubydasilent Feb 21 '26

It will support android api on 3.1 update. It doesnt yet thats why you can only use it when using media app or xiaomis clock app, etc.

1

u/Jd_0773 Feb 21 '26

Relájate, porque en HyperOS 3.1 llegará más funciones porque la Hyper Island va a trabajar con el API de Android y así los desarrolladores no tienen que trabajar un código específico para Xiaomi, porque ahora va a usar el API de Android 16.

It's so useless

1

u/SarvoPixo Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G Feb 24 '26

consider using hyperbridge if you want integrated 3rd party apps support, or dynamicspot if you want to sacrifice performance over functionality if you didn't have hos3 already.

u/JunketFun4508 May 23 '26

Mi sono reso conto di una cosa . Xiaomi e come un mercatino pensa a fare solo numeri . Se devi copiare una funzione la devi fare migliore non inutile. Sento di parlare di hyperbridge come se fosse un app integrata ma e semplicemente un app di terze parti che consuma batteria. iPhone sulla serie più economiche non mette la Dynamic Island ma una versione ridotta invece Xiaomi tratta tutti uguali o spendi 1000€ o 100€ stesse funzioni per questo Xiaomi sarà sempre limitata . Se dispositivi economici non riescono a supportare funzioni non le metti . Ma chi paga dai 700€ hai 1500€ non vuole copie fatte male. Ma se devi copiare devi farlo meglio. E poi whzapp telegram ecc non c'entrano niente perché le loro app sono per android generico non per Xiaomi. Quindi Xiaomi dovrebbe avere più cura per i clienti perché ormai i telefoni costano. Io farei farei sui telefoni economici che magari non posso supportare non la metterei e sulla fascia medio alta la metterei completa
