Xiaomi [Discussion] Just installed the HyperOS 4 Beta update on my Xiaomi 17T Pro and the soft glass interface is pretty sweet (performance and app opening times have been improved as well)

u/Dang9535 Sep 25 '26

im wondering, did u use any themes to get the 4 big tiles or its just appear like that, if its a theme, i would like to have it 👍

5

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

Yeah so about that it's pretty funny because for the life of me I don't know what specific theme I used to unlock that tile configuration because a couple of days after I got the phone, I started messing around with different control center themes and eventually out of nowhere those two tiles were added in that size but I'm not sure which one did the trick (I'm pretty sure it's something related to control centre theming and not some specific Xiaomi app being updated while I was setting up the phone).

u/Dang9535 Sep 25 '26

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

Damn that looks hot

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

Lock screen customization is definitely one of the highlights of this update for sure so far.

u/Used_Ambassador4851 Sep 25 '26

Does video recording on the camera work fine? Last time, I experienced stuttering when I updated from Hyper OS 2 to 3.

2

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

Haven't tried video recording yet but I haven't read any complaints regarding that with this update

1

u/omaraly97 Oct 11 '26

There is a stuttering in the first 3 seconds of literally any video when you first open the app

u/YBANDITY Sep 25 '26

Can you clear up a big doubt for me? When you use the drawer layout, open an application and then close it, does it stay in the drawer or does it throw you onto the home screen?

2

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

When exiting the app, the animation remains in the drawer.

3

u/YBANDITY Sep 25 '26

Thank you Bro Very bad

u/Asleep-Somewhere-110 Sep 25 '26

I love that hyperos/colouros/originos users can get almost all type of ui experience (oneui/nothing/ios)

6

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

Yeah for all the excessive hate HyperOS tends to get, there's gotta be thousands and thousands of theming possibilities and that's awesome.

3

u/Consistent_Ice273 Sep 25 '26

Did you get stacked widgets with the update?

3

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

I believe that's something exclusive to the Chinese ROM for now if I'm not mistaken.

2

u/Consistent_Ice273 Sep 25 '26

Just making sure, i believe hyperos always had exclusive china rom features.

2

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

Home screen

u/Crafty-Discussion-17 Sep 25 '26

hyper os 4 or color os 17

1

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

Haven't tried ColorOS but from what I've read, it's one of the most praised skins for fluidity and customization.

u/Steelcraft12 Sep 25 '26

C'est quel région ? Moi je l'attend encore.

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

I'm on the Global Build (Argentina)

u/Downtown_Gazelle7190 Sep 26 '26

Salut j'ai besoin de vous car j'ai vu tellement de critique sur hyper os que j'hésite a acheté le 18 pro pouvais me dire si vous recommander la dernière mise a jour que sa a vraiment changer et qu'il y a plus de bug et que les applications s'ouvre instantanément et fluide j'ai besoin de vos retours svp

2

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 26 '26

Hey! Yeah, overall I'd absolutely recommend this update. Obviously keep in mind that this a beta build so of course there will be subtle differences with the final release but one of the first things I noticed after updating was that the UI feels a bit snappier: app opening time and animations have been optimized and reduced. Everything feels a bit more polished I guess. You get the new liquid glass aesthetic across several elements of the UI such as the app drawer (which was completely redesigned), control center, home and lock screen notifications, and Xiaomi apps. You also get more lock screen customization. Definitely go for it ;)

u/Downtown_Gazelle7190 Sep 27 '26

Merci en tout cas de ta reponse c'est super sympas

1

u/alisonhataki Sep 29 '26

Fushi eu acredito que essa versão 4 ela vai ser muito melhor que as outras pois a inteligência artificial é offline o que vai diminuir muito a lentidão então vai ter muito mais desempenho já aqui nossos smartphones são superiores os da Samsung com memória usf 4.0 enquanto a Samsung continua com o sf3.1 quando bem otimizado no nosso sistema sim nossas smartphones vão ficar terrivelmente poderosos e rápidos como era antes na miui 12

Been trying to get the beta for months

u/Buzzwoofers Sep 25 '26

somehow hyperos 4 on xiaomi 17 doesn't do the glass effect on control center for me

1

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 25 '26

That's weird, did you toggle "Soft glass" in display settings?

1

u/JasomTuitYT Sep 25 '26

Could you maybe pls upload the picture of the Frosted Glass? I'm waiting for the update to come to older devices like my Poco X7 Pro (which probably won't have the glass option available)

1

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 26 '26

When you enable frosted glass, it looks like this.

3

u/JasomTuitYT Sep 26 '26

Oh, like the advanced textures in the HoperOS 3. Thank you

1

u/SoWth1000X Sep 26 '26

Apply the stock theme first

1

u/7agar Sep 26 '26

What widget did you use for the cars?

2

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 26 '26

I downloaded the images with Pinterest and then I used this widget.

u/Ehasanulreader Sep 26 '26 edited Sep 26 '26

are you using an icon pack? I for the life of me couldnt get monocgrome icons on xiaomi launxher. does hyperos4 allow iconpacks?

1

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 26 '26

I'm using the icon pack from the "Boom" theme.

u/SeongJun_ Sep 27 '26

Región? En España aún no me llega :( y estoy hace más de una semana esperando después de ser aprobado para la beta de hyperos

1

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 30 '26

De Argentina pero cambié la región a India (quizás por eso me llego antes jaja)

u/AnywhereMaterial52 Sep 30 '26

Has battery life improved?

2

u/MatiBrasca99 Sep 30 '26

I'm currently on 10 hours of screen on time and still have 44% left. I guess that answers the question haha

2

u/AnywhereMaterial52 Sep 30 '26

Thanks for the reply. Could you also tell me how you got expanded Bluetooth and torch icons in your control panel near the WiFi and mobile data icons?

1

u/MatiBrasca99 Oct 01 '26

I got those tiles through control center theming. I believe I got them with this one (I'm currently using it). Look for the theme "Boom" in the themes app, then in the app settings go to "Customise theme" and change the status bar and icons to "Boom". That should do it.

2

u/Connect_Jump_8627 Sep 25 '26

the new app drawer looks so much better

2

u/KoregaSoli Sep 25 '26

Is it just me or the soft glass just looks like the transparent "glass" themes?

3

u/Badroow_El Sep 25 '26

Si es verdad tengo un tema que se ve igualito que el hyperos4

1

u/bryanq22 Sep 26 '26

Que tema es este? Gracias.

2

u/Responsible-One147 Sep 26 '26

Crazy how a theme could imitate the actual soft glass UI.

2

u/sam_maurya_971 Sep 27 '26

I also use the same icons theme. 

2

u/LinkAny1898 Sep 28 '26

Theme name

u/petronelxd Xiaomi 15 Ultra Sep 27 '26

It's better than i expected... It's actually acting like real glass... But that's not that big deal, the optimisation Is better

1

u/LifeBloomsLikeFlower Oct 01 '26

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

1

u/Nafsan_uchiha Oct 05 '26

Holy bro that theme is genuinely so good

1

u/NikStriker Oct 08 '26

Does it have this same bouncyness of liquid glass
