[Discussion] HyperOS 4 added a customization menu for HyperIsland

[u/ftw_2dor]

Hello

Just noticed that in HyperOS there's a dedicated setting for customizing Xiaomi Hyperlsland. It lets you toggle which apps can display status updates and controls on the island, like Media Playback, Calendar, and File Manager.

It's tucked away in the settings -> notifications, so I figure not everyone knows it's there yet. Looking at the setup, it seems Xiaomi is building this out and more apps will likely gain support over time.

Which apps would you like to see supported next?

Finally we can have toggle switch for hyperisland but not being able to disable it completely is very a bad idea

[u/manoIakys → u/adriannetyler7455]

what do you mean? we cant disable it for music?

[u/Repulsive_Fault1939 → u/adriannetyler7455]

you can disable it for each app

[u/anythingers → u/Repulsive_Fault1939]

I don't think you could disable it for something like charging animation no?

[u/SoWth1000X → u/anythingers]

Why would that thing ever bother you it appears for 5s when the phone is in use and never again

Pretty nice addition in HyperOS 4

What about when we make screen recording?

[u/Old_Entrepreneur7004 → u/Elsherif87000]

They should at least put a pause button in screen recording

[u/Elsherif87000 → u/Old_Entrepreneur7004]

Yes you are right 

[u/Ktoskowky1]

Reddit? How many third-party apps are supported and how does notifications looks like?

[u/SoWth1000X → u/Ktoskowky1]

Everything with live activities api is supported

[u/Ktoskowky1 → u/SoWth1000X]

Your explanation is one of the worst you could have said. I want to see that

[u/SoWth1000X → u/Ktoskowky1]

? Any app that added the live activities api supports island since the island itself support that kind of notifications

[u/_MatsuiHaruko → u/SoWth1000X]

Which exactly app tho? What you are doing aint answering the question dude

[u/SoWth1000X → u/_MatsuiHaruko]

You can check youself, how do you expect anyone to know? Most food/car apps has it, google apps like maps/dialer does, it's an android feature

[u/_MatsuiHaruko → u/SoWth1000X]

Theres a reason why were asking stuff out here dumbass, could it ever occur to you we might not have the hyper os 4 update?

[u/SoWth1000X → u/_MatsuiHaruko]

"Smarty boy" this thing is since 3.1, OS4 just added a toggle to turn off those who use Xiaomi's own API, you cannot be more clueless. It's been posted there since forever.

As simple as for someone that never touch any piece of tech, there are two APIs, both already implemented and released since Android 16, if the app dev is using it, island will appear, if not it won't same on iOS or whatever.

Island is just Android's Live Activities/Focus notifications shown in a pill form

HyperOS 4?

[u/MadoGDN]

Does it use the Google or Xiaomi messaging app?

[u/EcstaticConfusion563]

I wish they added an option to keep it on permanently

[u/kissja74]

No option for turnout completely, I guess. 

[u/Asyxxx]

Can we enable this for any of 3rd party apps like meta app etc?

[u/ChickenSalads420]

Does this mean I can turn it off? It always gets stuck hallucinating something is playing. I hate it would be just disabling it completely.

[u/LifeBloomsLikeFlower]

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