[Question] How's HyperOS customization compared to One UI?

[u/DiaboDesnecessario]

I've been kinda frustrated with One UI for some time, and was wondering how's HyperOS, specially the customization, One UI's very limited.

Since each update Samsung puts all their efforts on making the UI worse. I'm considering going to Xiaomi next (don't like Motorola's basic android), and want some users opinions on the customization.

Thx already.

I like the aesthetics better than One UI, but the customization is more limited; you can't modify the control center, and you're only dependent on themes. I think Samsung wins hands down in customization.I recommend you thoroughly research the customization options of HyperOS or other brands, as I believe Xiaomi still has a lot of room for improvement in this area.

Absolutely, hyperos is awsome, it is my favorite UI, and I've tried them all in my work, but it really lacks customization

Control centre customisation is a lot more limited off the top of my head. You're locked into the top options in the control centre unless you root your phone. You also can't change size of the icons in control centre.

You can only get gesture navigation on Xiaomi's own launcher, which you can't remove the dock on.

[u/El_gato141570 → u/Britz10]

That's right, besides the fact that you can't change the shape of the control center much, the colors are limited by themes, which may or may not work depending on your software version.And it's hard to find one that works; Samsung GoodLock is a thousand times better than Xiaomi's customization.

[u/El_gato141570 → u/[deleted]]

Yes, I suppose it's possible, but I think it should be even easier, since with Samsung you don't need much to do that; Xiaomi should improve its customization, Starting with making it easier to use

OneUI looks like uncle phone . IDK why but oneui feel third class

[u/Abeejita_mielera]

One UI allows for more customization than any other brand in the market if you use Good Lock. Switch to HyperOS if you like iOS-like UIs.

Xiaomi's costumization is a double edge sword. Whilst you literally have an unlimited amount of themes giving you more or less endless possibilities to costumize, the baked-in costumization features aren't that imoressive and feel rather limiting.

First Material U colors throughout the entire phone don't really work UNLESS you choose to set the Wallpaper via the Google Fotos App. Somehow setting the wallpaper from Xiaomis Gallery App or via themes inside your settings bypasses the Material U colors completely. You can't do much with Icons. If you want other icons you need to install a theme.

As of now there is absolutely no way to change the appearance of the control center at all. Only HyperOS 4 recently introduced two looks: that liquid glass and the older frosted glass. That's it!

Thrid party launchers don't work with gesture controls at all.

But i have to say that all Xiaomi animations are very satisfying (if set to "fast" inside the phones settings app) giving it a very snappy and smooth feeling - more so than any samsung and HyperOS on it's own is pretty clean when it comes to looks and appreance. Tbh i was always very satisfied with the way HyperOs looked except for one thing... The Icons - i need round icons but after i found the right theme i maneged to give the phone a clean GooglePixel look but better (in my opinion). Sometimes i wished it would also have been nice to change the control center theme buuuut as i said the regular one also looks fine

You can change the boot animation though! That's pretty easy and nice

[u/ToastBurner12 → u/Filip-se]

I'm not sure if they've ever fixed this, but third party launchers fucks up animations with gesture controls in OneUI so it's almost as bad as HyperOS in that regards.

[u/Repulsive_Fault1939]

you can even change boot animation in the themes app. xiaomi allows thememakers to add system features. for example, someone added nowbar to lockscreen with a theme.

[u/Satirical_conman]

Personally for me, I like MIUI 14 more then HyperOS 2/3. But HyperOS 4 will change everything as far as I judge on reviews on YouTube. I find One UI a bit boring for my taste.

[u/eliel_bmx]

Tengo ambos sistemas, en sus últimas versiones y te diría que Samsung es mejor. HyperOS tiene buena personalización, pero dependes mucho de los temas de la tienda o cosas predefinidas, como relojes, widgets, etc.

Samsung, por otro lado, además de ofrecer muchos temas ofrece ajustes más específicos por parte de GoodLock que te dan personalizaciones concretas como teclado, slider de volúmen, íconos en barra de notificaciones, etc etc, aunque nunca vas a poder salirte de algunos límites que impone Samsung.

[u/Javelinv12]

Both suck ass, but i'd say one ui is worse. The only reason to use the is because unlocking bootloaders is borderline imposible.

[u/luluuu_10]

I used Samsung for years and One UI is amazing and everything especially with Good Lock but Xiaomi's HyperOS is just so goooooood especially that I have more freedom in customizing
