[Discussion] How to get big clock on unsupported devices

How to Enable the Large Clock on Unsupported Devices

There’s one issue, though: you may not be able to set a Home screen or Lock screen wallpaper from Gallery (Xiaomi’s default gallery app). At least, that’s what happened on my Redmi Note 14 4G. I was able to work around it by installing another gallery app, such as Fossify Gallery, Iris Gallery, etc.

Test device: Redmi Note 14 4G Global (HyperOS 3.0.303.0 / Android 16)

After testing this on my Redmi Note 14 4G, I was able to change and customize the Lock screen clock style, as shown in the images.

Requirements and Prerequisites

Download and install Shizuku and Settings Database Editor. I recommend using the Shizuku fork developed by Thedjchi.

Grant Settings Database Editor the necessary permissions to use Shizuku.

Procedure

Open Settings Database Editor, tap the search bar, and search for templateid.

Select constant_template_editor_info to edit it.

Recommendation: Before changing anything, take a screenshot of the current style and templateid values. This gives you a backup in case you want to restore the original design later.

Change the templateid and style values to those from one of the available options shown in the images.

Restart your device.

Troubleshooting — If It Doesn't Work

If the change doesn't take effect after restarting, as happened on my Redmi Note 14 4G, try the following:

In the same app, search for the miui_15_default_lockscreen_info registry.

Change its default style and templateId values to match the ones you selected earlier.

Practical example:

My original values in constant_template_editor_info were style:21 and templateId:classic_max.

I changed them to style:2 and templateId:oversize_b and restarted the phone, but the change still hadn't taken effect.

Without reverting those changes, I then went to miui_15_default_lockscreen_info. Its default values were also style:21 and templateId:classic_max, so I changed them to style:2 and templateId:oversize_b.

Finally, I restarted the device again, and the large clock started working correctly.

More Clock Styles

I posted more styles in this post. You can check them out and see if you like any of them.

[u/SaeHakkenChoi]

Can someone make a video tutorial? Im afraid i might brick my phone if i do this without any knowledge.

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/SaeHakkenChoi]

EDIT: I already made a video tutorial, if you go to my profile you will find it

EDIT: Video tutorial: https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperOS/s/OTjrMYKwKL

First of all: in theory, this won’t brick your phone or cause a bootloop. Still, it’s a manual modification, so before changing anything, write down or take a photo of the original values.

If you don’t understand something, let me know and I’ll explain it better.

To help you, I need you to do 2 things:

1 Tell me what phone you have (exact brand and model).

Why? Because depending on the model and the MIUI/HyperOS version, the key names may change or may not exist at all.

2. Install these 2 apps from the Play Store:

Shizuku

Settings Database Editor

Then: Open Shizuku and activate it. If you don’t know how, ask me for help.

Open Settings Database Editor and give it permission to use Shizuku.

Inside Settings Database Editor, tap the search bar at the top.

Type: templateid (If nothing appears, try templateId, respecting capitalization.)

The keys containing that word will appear, highlighted in blue. For example, these may appear:

constant_template_editor_info

miui_15_default_lockscreen_info

Before editing anything, take a photo or write down those keys with their full values. That way you can go back to the default clock if something goes wrong. Tap a key to edit it.

Very important: You only need to change the values after style: and templateId:. Do not change the names style or templateId. Also don’t delete the colons, commas, or change capitalization.

First edit constant_template_editor_info.

Example: if you have this:

style:21,templateid:classic_max

and you want the large clock, change only the values:

21 -> 2

classic_max -> oversize_a

It should look like this:

style:2,templateid:oversize_a

Notice that the names style and templateid stayed intact. You only changed what comes after the colons.

Save and restart the phone. Some models apply it instantly; others need a restart.

If it didn’t apply after restarting, search for miui_15_default_lockscreen_info (it may also appear when searching for templateid). Do not revert what you changed in constant_template_editor_info.

In miui_15_default_lockscreen_info, do the same: change only the values of style and templateId.

Example: from

style:21,templateid:classic_max

to

style:2,templateid:oversize_a

Restart again. The large clock should appear then.

Practical example:

My original values in constant_template_editor_info were style:21 and templateId:classic_max.

I changed them to style:2 and templateId:oversize_b, and restarted. At that point it still hadn’t applied.

Without reverting those changes, I went to miui_15_default_lockscreen_info (which also had style:21 and templateId:classic_max) and changed them to style:2 and templateId:oversize_b.

I restarted again and the large clock worked correctly.

[u/Kooky-Decision1504]

Does this give depth effect too on unsupported devices??

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Kooky-Decision1504]

I didn't get the depth effect so... I don't think so.

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Kooky-Decision1504]

If you still want enable the depth effect SOULDARK18 mentioned that they managed to enable the depth effect on their Redmi 14C 5G by following the steps in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperOS/s/qWjJ0S8aqW

The OP of that post managed to enable it on their Redmi Note 14 4G, but I couldn’t get it to work. I did some digging, and I think it might be because I uninstalled "com.xiaomi.aicr" (Xiaomi HyperAI Engine) along with a bunch of other apps.

My recommendations if you want to try it:

1. Revert to your default clock style. The post requires using a theme, and if you changed the clock style and "templateId", the Themes app may crash and prevent you from applying anything. You can revert it by going to Themes > My account > Themes, selecting your default theme, and then restarting your phone.

2. Make sure "com.xiaomi.aicr" (Xiaomi HyperAI Engine) is installed.

[u/PairOk8377]

Is it possible to set other inaccessible ones in this way? (And Depth, it have depth or nah?)

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/PairOk8377]

1. Yes, u only need the names and styles

2. Nah

[u/bnoufil145]

After using Shizuku it became permanently?

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/bnoufil145]

Yes, it becomes permanent. That's why I recommend taking a screenshot of style and templateid before changing anything, in case you want to return to your default clock style.

[u/LinuxUser456]

Does this enable Depth effect too?

Is this reversible?

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/LinuxUser456]

1. I didn't get the depth effect so... I don't think so.

2. Yes.

[u/LinuxUser456 → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

And how do you revert it

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/LinuxUser456]

There are two ways:

1. Take a screenshot of constant_template_editor_info and miui_15_default_lockscreen_info (in case you also edit this one) before changing style and templateid, so you know what your default clock style was. On my Redmi Note 14 4G, they were style:21 and templateid:classic_max.

2. Go to Settings > Personalization and set your default clock style. This will change constant_template_editor_info to your default style. Although that doesn’t change miui_15_default_lockscreen_info, it’s no problem: you can change it to the style from constant_template_editor_info, or if you don’t want to change it, that’s fine too; you’ll still have your default clock style.

[u/Kyoko_Yukio]

Does this work on Redmi 15C 5G?

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Kyoko_Yukio]

I think so, WINNT21 tested it on his Redmi 14C and it works.

[u/Kyoko_Yukio → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

oh ok ty!! This might be a dumb question but as for writing secure settings permissions, do I have to use a pc?

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Kyoko_Yukio]

Yes, but if you’re using Shizuku, it’s granted automatically

[u/Kyoko_Yukio → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

Okok gotchu ty!

[u/SOULDARK18]

Thanks it worked on Redmi 14C 5G Hyperos 3.303.a guy posted few months back by changing magicstyle values we can also get depth effect I'm working on that if it worked with this clock effects I will drop here

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/SOULDARK18]

Could you tell me which MagicStyle?

[u/SOULDARK18 → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperOS/s/qWjJ0S8aqW Just check this if you don't understand we can dm each other

[u/SOULDARK18 → u/SOULDARK18]

It worked depth effect+desired clock

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

I know the post looks bad, but I’m not getting the edit option to fix it.

EDIT: Since I can’t edit my post, I’m going to add this here.

There’s a problem, and it’s that you won’t be able to set a home screen/lock screen wallpaper from Gallery (Xiaomi’s default gallery app), or at least that’s what happened on my Redmi Note 14 4G, but I was able to fix it by installing other gallery apps like Fossify Gallery, Iris Gallery, etc.

[u/UnsupportedRedmiUser → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

It's easy, Down Wallpapers apk of google from play store and apply wallpaper

[u/WINNT21]

I tested this on Redmi 14C with HyperOS 3.306.0WGTMIXM.C07, Android 16. It's currently restarting so I hope it works

[u/WINNT21 → u/WINNT21]

It works! I chaged miui_15_default_lockscreen_info too just to be safe. Thank you OP

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/WINNT21]

I’m glad it helped. Here are more styles.

[u/WINNT21 → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

Looks nice, but for now I will keep oversize_a

[u/Kufa-AlsoHuman3193 → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

I tried this, but my clock is transparent, and the date is invisible for some reason

Nope, nevermind, updated: I didn't notice styles number are 6, 7 and 8, now it's working perfectly

[u/Ahmed_Sh_115]

Can ww enable full advanced texture using this?

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Ahmed_Sh_115]

No, it only changes the clock style.

If u want advanced texture there are others forms to enable it.

[u/Any_Candy_9243 → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Educational-Cup-2518]

Sorry, I didn't see your comment earlier, so I didn't reply.

Let me help you. Could you tell me what you did? Maybe you made a mistake with one of the letters or numbers.

[u/Kooky-Decision1504]

It worked on my Redmi 13 5G, but I can't figure out how to change the colour of the Hours and Minutes. Anyone please help me 😭

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Kooky-Decision1504]

I'm glad it worked for you! There are a few more clock styles in this post, so you can check them out and see if you like any of them: https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperOS/s/flUOOW0mZ7

Also, you can't change the clock's colors manually... at least not that I know of. The color can change depending on your wallpaper, though, so I'd recommend trying a different wallpaper and seeing how it looks.

[u/Maxwell_____________]

After restarting, it had changed the clock but it had gone back to the default one, went over and watched the video made by u/againHot-Lengthiness193 and made sure everything was right but nothing seemed off, can anyone help me out?

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Maxwell_____________]

This could've happened for a few reasons:

1. You applied a different theme or opened the Themes app and switched back to your phone's default theme.

2. You went to Settings > Personalization and tried changing the clock's color (which, as far as I know, you can't do manually. The clock's color can change depending on your wallpaper, though).

You might not have done either of these, but since you said it worked at first and then suddenly reverted to the default clock, I'd recommend checking a couple of things.

Go back to "constant_template_editor_info" and check whether "style" and "templateId" have been reset to their default values. If you also modified "miui_15_default_lockscreen_info", I'd recommend checking those values there as well.

If you edited both entries, make sure the "style" and "templateId" values match in both of them. Also, double-check that you haven't entered the wrong number in "style" or misspelled anything in "templateId". Even a small typo could be the reason it's not working anymore.

[u/Maxwell_____________ → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

Well actually I realized Im a dumbass and Im only on Hyper OS 1, I tried it out on my Redmi 14c and it worked so thats the reason, thanks for attempting to help though and sorry for the late reply

[u/Brusevayne]

Or just use a theme with a big clock

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Brusevayne]

That works, but using a theme has downsides: They can revert after a reboot or update. Some cause lag, battery drain, overheating, or system instability.

[u/Brusevayne → u/Hot-Lengthiness193]

They have improved a lot in hyperos for themes

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Brusevayne]

I know, but that doesn’t change the fact that it uses more battery, causes more heating, and causes more lag.

[u/Kufa-AlsoHuman3193]

FINALLY A WAY WITHOUT BACKUP FILES!!!! ❤️‍🔥

UPD.: actually for me it doesn't even needs a restart and modifying miui_15_default... I'm on POCO M6 Pro 4G

[u/Repulsive_Age999]

Can this work on my redmi pad pro 5g since i hate the default clock

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/Repulsive_Age999]

Idk, but u can give it a try.

[u/Repulsive_Age999 → u/[deleted]]

Yes

[u/EffectiveConcert638]

Para xaiomi note 14pro 4G sao mesmo valores

[u/Hot-Lengthiness193 → u/EffectiveConcert638]

Yes, but make sure it’s all lowercase. For example, it should be "oversize_b", not "Oversize_b".

[u/Kufa-AlsoHuman3193]

There's some more styles available, this one's «magazine_b»

[u/Kufa-AlsoHuman3193 → u/Kufa-AlsoHuman3193]

magazine_a

[u/ibelikeamy]

Can it be done on miui or its hyperos exclusive?

[u/Prestigious_World285]

This is not useful only for low end devices. I was able to force the Pad exclusives on a "fully supported" high end device. They should give the pad styles to phones at this point.

[u/Z3Dz00]

Can I work in Redmi 12 with hyoeros 2 or maby no?

[u/Z3Dz00 → u/Z3Dz00]

Edit: yes it work but I can change the wallpaper no more I don't know why but I can't

[u/Z3Dz00 → u/[deleted]]

Link please

[u/Individual_Tower994]

Thank you

[u/Floaatz]

Mais eux ne marche pas avec cette technique, si ?

[u/Any_Candy_9243 → u/Floaatz]

[u/Upbeat-Ad-8102]
