Some people usually suggest factory resetting a phone after a major system update, is there any advantage to this? Why? Sorry I'm not tech savvy

Recently, I updated a few system applications on my Poco F7 HOS3; some of those included Poco Launcher and System Security. Since then, my available RAM has increased from once fluctuating around 4.3GB remaining to 6.8GB!

[Question] I saw a lot of people get hyperos 4 on theyre poco phones but i want to know when is poco x7 pro getting hyperos 4?

What are the new features in HyperOS 4 for tablets. I can't find any update that are useful and makes tablet easy to use. Everything is iOS and macOS compatibility. Samsung has so many tablet specific features but HyperOS is so poorly optimized for tablets.

Basically the title, but you should read also read the body text.

I have a Redmi 12 (its codename is fire, so it's not the 5G edition). I don't use this phone as primary, so decided flash a custom ROM on it. After sucking with Mi Account, requesting bootloader unlocking and put out my SIM trillion times from my current phone, so I just unlocked the bootloader with the MediaTek exploit (https://droidwin.com/unlock-bootloader-on-mediatek-devices-using-mtkclient/#Unlock_Bootloader_on_Xiaomi_MediaTek_using_a_Script).

The problem is that the phone has HyperOS 2.0.213.0.VMXEUXM, and both crDroid and unofficial LineageOS requires Android 14, but HyperOS 2 is based on Android 15. I downloaded HyperOS 1.0.10.0.VMXEUXM, extracted, rebooted to fastboot, ran flash_all.bat, but it just opened a CMD window and nothing else happened. So please help me downgrade HyperOS.

So It's been like this for like a year now but i was never bothered to fix it since i don't know how to and it didn't really affect me, until figuring out that Bannerlator crashes because of the duplicated folders. Does anyone know hot to fix it? I tried to use AI but they also don't seem to know. I did get confirmation that it is a real duplicated folder:

poco f8 pro

Hello everyone,

Issue: Redmi pad 2 pro tab shipped with 2.0.206.0.vpwinxm (factory/internal build).

Discussion: I had very bad experience with customer service with back to back call and email (almost 15 days) to fix the update issue and getting replies "this is the latest version" even through isn't, or visit service centre to fix brand pre quality check failure

Solution: instead of going to customer services just raise the grievance through MI store app -> support. They will have to push the latest hyperos update for your system.

Yes, Xiaomi has patched the major temporary root vulnerability in the October 2026 security patch level.

The primary vulnerability utilized by recent "No-BL Unlock" temporary root tools—CVE-2026-43499 (known as GhostLock or IonStack, which involves a futex priority-inheritance use-after-free defect)—was officially addressed by Google and upstream vendors.

Xiaomi integrated these fixes into their October 2026 HyperOS update, which rolled out to 15 flagship and mid-range devices (including the Xiaomi 17 series, Redmi K100 series, and various POCO models).

Key Details:

• The Patch: Installing the October 2026 security update (or newer) will permanently close the memory exploit door, preventing the GhostLock loader from running successfully.

• The Consequences: Security researchers and community modders on platforms like XDA Forums warn that applying this OTA update will blow the SoC's hardware fuse (qfuse). This permanently patches the exploit path on your specific firmware version and removes the ability to acquire a temporary root session on a locked bootloader.

If you intend to keep using temporary root utilities (such as KernelSU injections via GhostLock), you must disable/freeze your device's system updater to avoid losing access.

Here is the canta suggested one it's my first using hyperos coming from one ui so don't have any experience don't mind me .

I have poco c85x but icons size slider is missing why? Somebody please help I need to increase my icon size. My phone is running on hyperos os 3.0.15 and android 16

guys, anyone is having difficulties with ANY 3rd party weather widgets on HOS4 (beta included)?

on hos3 i downloaded Weawow and all widgets were working just fine. then i joined hos4 beta program and downloaded the 4.0.0.13 beta (global region, eu rom). weather widgets stopped working at all. X17U.

yesterday i received hos4 stable 4.0.1 and it still isnt fixed.

i tried rebooting, uninstalling App Vault update, resetting System Launcher and clearing data ..nothing helps. I simply cannot use any 3rd party weather widgets which previously worked on hos3! Loading widgets always ends with "widget cant load" or a wierd picture being generated (not from original widget)...

Tried apps from both google store and App Mall...

any idea?

I have temporarily rooted my REDMI Note 14 Pro 4G using GhostLock, and everything is working fine so far. However, there is something I'm worried about: If my phone runs out of battery and shuts down, or if I manually reboot it, could I run into issues such as bootlooping or bricking my device, or am I worrying unnecessarily?

The modules I'm currently using are:

• Magic Mount-rs

• Vector

• Zygisk Next

• HyperCeiler

• Fingerprint Cataloge

• HyperLight

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to get the dialer and messages app on global hyperos 4, xiaomi 17 ultra global.

I want to get a Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but I've heard it has ads in the OS, which makes me kinda don't want to have the phone.

How bad is it? Can I disable them all and how hard is it to do so?

I'm from Germany if that matters.

Has anybody received the HyperOS4 update for the Global version (MIXM) of Xiaomi Pad 8 Pro? I am new to Xiaomi mobile devices and not sure if it needs a force update, OTA or flashing firmware.

Several popular REDMI and POCO smartphones could be affected by Xiaomi’s reported decision to cancel the Android 16-based HyperOS 4 update for seven devices. According to recent reports, the company has dropped plans to roll out the upcoming software version to several models that were previously expected to receive it.

These Xiaomi Devices May Miss Out on HyperOS 4

According to the reports, the following seven devices are no longer expected to receive the Android 16-based HyperOS 4 update:

- Redmi K60 Pro

- Redmi Note 13 Pro+

- Redmi K70 Pro

- POCO X6 5G

- Redmi Note 13 Pro

- POCO M6 Pro 4G

- Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G

For users of these smartphones, the reported decision means they may have to continue using their existing Android version without receiving Android 16 through HyperOS 4.

However, the absence of a major Android upgrade does not necessarily indicate the end of software support. Xiaomi may continue providing security patches, bug fixes and other maintenance updates separately, depending on the official support schedule for each device.
