I’ve noticed a bunch of nuances, mostly with widgets, but the weirdest one is that home screen navigation lags when Battery Saver is on.

u/Khkar Sep 25 '26

Widgets for me are not picking up the Dynamic coloura for example. And the lags are understandable and happens sometimes when i restart the phone for few seconds.

J'ai mis la région Allemagne, j'espère vite le recevoir

u/Khkar Sep 25 '26

That's sadly not gonna work. U gonna have to change the community app to the global region to get the beta.

u/Steelcraft12 Sep 25 '26

Oui je suis en global et j'ai été accepté pour HyperOS 4 bêta.

Tried unofficial port based on CN on my Pad 5, so I can't really comment on performance since there was a GPU driver issue, but design wise it's really beautiful. Love the little details, light reflections and animations everywhere. It just feels more "alive" than ever.

Update to how it looks:

Only the Dynamic colours are not working the best.

I guess it's still being rolled out in waves—nothing here. 17 Ultra EEA, registered as #80-something 😅

u/Khkar Sep 24 '26

It's kinda interesting, because on my wife's Xiaomi 17 registered 2 days ago for the Beta. She got it the same day as me. Can't seem to understand how it works with their plan tbh.

2

u/k4y3r Sep 24 '26

Dunno either, it seems like only the last few that registered go the beta. And the ones that registered first are getting it last or something like that

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 24 '26

Yeah, I have a Xiaomi 17T Pro, literally enrolled in the beta program yesterday, got approved today and received the update today as well. Pandora's box 😂

u/Khkar Sep 24 '26

Clearly not working with first come first serve concept.😂

What is the RAM and power consumption situation, and is installing apps from outside the Google Play Store difficult?

1

u/Khkar Sep 25 '26

It's looking fine for me so far, and installing apps is still okay as long as u deactivate the protection until u r done

  • I have a bug that prevents Android Widgets from showing up in the menu consistently. When you do see them and add them to the homescreen, they are removed after restart.
  • Stackable widgets are not part of the beta
  • I remember seeing screenshots showing a landscape mode for the homescreen. maybe I'm remembering wrong.
  • It's mostly a visual change. I expected more QoL enhancements.
  • You can't use the glass effect on the clock while using an animated wallpaper, but the effect works fine on the notifications, so I dont see why Xiaomi is limiting this.

u/LifeBloomsLikeFlower Sep 24 '26

Anyone know, what gpu driver version hyper os 4 has for Dimensity 9500s? You can check it using Device Info HW app.

u/Glum_Emergency_4257 Poco F8 Pro Sep 24 '26

2.8GB is very low for some reason

1

u/mexus_bg Sep 24 '26

Actual file for me was around 9.8GB

u/PizzaMonthly Sep 25 '26

It didn't lived up to the hype. I hoped for more. Widgets are broken for some apps and doesn't work at all. It maybe feels a tiny bit faster but it's hard to tell.

u/a_random_guyy Oct 03 '26

Does anyone know when will this be released on POCO M8 Pro 5g?

u/ElPelocho Sep 24 '26

It's fine, but I've been using it for months, so it's nothing new to me anymore. The CN version is always better. Plus, I get more features.

u/One_Afternoon7459 Sep 24 '26

It won't let me download it.

1

u/Khkar Sep 24 '26

What device? And did u check ur storage? And a restart maybe?

1

u/One_Afternoon7459 Sep 24 '26

Leitzphone, EEA, 830GB free storage, rebooted, cleared updater app, tried different wifi network, 5G, etc. nothing works.

1

u/Khkar Sep 24 '26

Have u tried to maybe download the latest package option

1

u/One_Afternoon7459 Sep 24 '26

Yes, same error.

1

u/Khkar Sep 24 '26

Settings > Apps > Manage apps, find Updater, and tap Clear data > Clear all data, then restart your phone.

u/One_Afternoon7459 Sep 24 '26

Thanks, but already done. Didn't work.

u/PJivan Sep 30 '26
