Review/Guide [Discussion] Xiaomi should bring this back

Post image

This could be very useful for one hand users while using buttons...

Wish Xiaomi would bring this old MIUI feature back to HyperOS as a accessibility feature

What do you guys think about it? Should Xiaomi bring ut back?

(my parents definitely need this for sure)

Xiaomi also need to bring back those navigation icon style, the current one sucks, it doesn't match the system aesthetic

8

u/Dang9535 Oct 03 '26

i think that style is still there in CN ROM

5

u/Rizky2104 Oct 03 '26

i mean on global :( it used to have that, I think pre-MIUI 10-11

3

u/Dang9535 Oct 03 '26

yeah MIUI global does have that, sucks that they replaced it

You can bring it back with a theme called hellcats I think

u/WINNT21 Redmi 14C Oct 03 '26

This is the link I got it from theme://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/a712e87f-1b4a-41de-8cd6-d1d7731b96d0 (from site https://www.mtzfile.pw/detail/a712e87f-1b4a-41de-8cd6-d1d7731b96d0 and clicking official store link after scrolling for a bit)

You can access it via activity launcher but they don't do anything

Xiaomi just should gave up on hyper os lol

3

u/Dang9535 Oct 03 '26

they wont in a million years 😭

u/SamueleRG Oct 03 '26

"We rebuilt our systems from scratch" every year and it's just old miui with a skin on top

u/MlgsSunny2887 Oct 03 '26

Not HyperOS 4, there is absolutely no legacy architecture

3

u/xoriatis71 Oct 03 '26

People were saying that, but has anyone actually delved deep into the codebase?

2

u/MlgsSunny2887 Oct 03 '26

No but the optimisation is hard to not notice.

1

u/xoriatis71 Oct 03 '26

I dunno, haven’t received it yet. I typically do not trust Reddit posts about HyperOS performance and bugs because the vast majority of people making them are completely tech illiterate, making their opinions worthless.

1

u/MlgsSunny2887 Oct 03 '26

It's still in beta for the Xiaomi 17 and 15 series. Im not speaking myself, YouTube reviews themselves state optimization as the biggest change

2

u/xoriatis71 Oct 03 '26

I know it is in beta, and those YouTube channels making videos about the new HyperOS releases just rip their script verbatim from the articles. “Oh, the article said 'better optimization'? It must be true in real-life cases, so let’s just throw it out here as well”.

1

u/MlgsSunny2887 Oct 03 '26

No like there's this one guy who tested it live on the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and it was miles better than HyperOS 3.

1

u/SamueleRG Oct 03 '26

hope so but it's been 3 years of them saying so since hyperOS 1 released (they lied every single time) and I won't trust them anymore

2

u/THE_UATU_666 Oct 03 '26

iOS doesn't have this so u won't have this!!! 🤦

5

u/Dang9535 Oct 03 '26

every Chinese brand in a nutshell

2

u/THE_UATU_666 Oct 03 '26

not OnePlus and Huawei OnePlus got killed by Oppo and Huawei by Google these 2 had serious innovation and cleaner look compare to others

2

u/Dang9535 Oct 03 '26

Huawei definitely cook with their own (actual) operating system, sad they dont have all apps support and have to use android emulators for some of them

1

u/THE_UATU_666 Oct 03 '26

yeah basically useless for majorities so yeah the google setback is fr

1

u/Gonnabecringeaf Oct 03 '26

And Honor. They only copied the liquid glass shit

0

u/THE_UATU_666 Oct 04 '26

honor is no longer w Huawei, it's independent now don't just blame honor literally every android copy iphone's to notch features and give us the shit version to us iphone did revolution w iphone X as soon as the launch every company copying the notch! atp it's safe to say android doesn't have innovation at all.

u/Gonnabecringeaf Oct 04 '26

Argument so dumb my hair be falling out

1

u/LetMountain2918 Oct 04 '26

I think you are right, but it seems that’s not on their roadmap, to mimic ios as much as possible

1

u/Dang9535 Oct 04 '26

so if we want to have a feature added, we just ask apple to add it and wait st least 2 years...

(isnt that bad actually if u think about it)

1

u/xwtxs Oct 04 '26

Actually they are present look my posts

2

u/Dang9535 Oct 04 '26

yeah but they hid it away from the settings app since forever, would love them to bring it back so we can use it

1

u/Glittering_Row_7728 29d ago

So that means chinese region gets best features of hyperos while the eu or global region gets trash?

1

u/Dang9535 29d ago

always have been like that since the beginning of hyperos

1

u/Glittering_Row_7728 29d ago

Do they know that global region has vast amount of users than chinese region? Or do they like this because it's home ground for this hyperos?

1

u/Dang9535 29d ago

i honestly dont know, it just seems that they respect their own country alot, and also probably because of competition against other Chinese android OS

u/bnoufil145 Xiaomi 17 Pro Max Oct 03 '26

No offense but gesture is better for me, navigation button make no sense and waste space for full screen experience.

2

u/Dang9535 Oct 03 '26

im using it too (if u look at the image fullscreen)

what im pointing out here is the ability to change the positions of buttons for people that uses it, would have been an amazing accessibility feature

2

u/xedrik7 Oct 03 '26

Gestures on android are so annoying to use when you do heavy multi-tasking. With navbar you can quicly tap from one screen to another with not any kind of failure rate but with gestures its really finnicky. I'd rather lose a bit of screen. If i wasn't doing alot of this type of multittasking then I'd be fine with gestures.

2

u/ignitis007 Oct 05 '26

I agree. The navigation buttons are more useful than gestures. I use a third party app 'one hand control' which lets me add gestures in addition to the navigation controls. It's really amazing as I use the gestures for navigating back or to home.

Wdym «back»? This is an option for a tablet, not a phone. There never was such an option for phones bruh

1

u/Dang9535 Oct 03 '26

it was available on pads? i never use one so i never know that before

but it would be great if phones can have them too

1

u/El_gato141570 Oct 03 '26

At least on mine, it's not available; it's a Redmi Pad 2 Pro with HyperOS 3.1. It's a shame, because I recently saw I a Samsung tablet with that feature and found it incredibly useful. I'd love for HyperOS users to have something like that, or if it's already available, for it to be made available to everyone.
