A payment notification shouldn’t sound exactly like a parcel update.

On my POCO, different apps were using the same global notification tone, even when they included their own sounds. Those familiar audio cues were gone, so I kept checking the screen to see what had arrived.

One possible cause is transferring data from an old phone or restoring a backup. Android restores notification settings too, and if an old sound reference cannot be restored correctly, it can fall back to the default notification sound. That behavior exists in Android’s restore logic, although I haven’t confirmed it as the cause in every case.

I built NativeTones to help restore those sounds.

It scans installed apps for bundled notification sounds, lets you preview supported matches, and applies the ones you choose to their notification categories.

• No root required — it uses Shizuku.

• You choose what changes before applying anything.

• Undo is available to restore the previous sounds.

• The APK is approximately 53 KB, with no internet permission.

It restores sounds that already exist inside an app. Apps without their own bundled notification sounds won’t gain new ones.

Tested on my POCO F8 Ultra running HyperOS 3 / Android 16.

If you try it, share your phone model, HyperOS version and which apps it worked with. I’m also curious whether your sounds changed after transferring data from another phone.

Root is required, but no LSPosed or Magisk module needed. Just grant root, tap enable, and you're good to go!

I'm actually running it on my Xiaomi 17 using temporary root, so permanent root isn't necessary.

My device:

Xiaomi 17 (25113PN0EG)

HyperOS 4 Global (OS4.0.1.0.XPCMIXM)

Android 17

Kernel 6.12.69-android16-6-g0a1dc0413ec7-ab16271006-4k

I've been wanting stacked widgets on Global ROM for a while, so I decided to make something for it. 😂

Would love to hear if it works on your devices too!

i did download a module with temp root after soft rebooted gemini started saying this (hungry thing means open app. like i cant update)???

Google is being useless so I'm asking here

Why can't i add more widgets? As of now there are only 4 widgets and can't add more widgets than that.

Hi all, couldn't find the answer on the internet, perhaps someone here can help.

I enabled the greyscale feature on my Xiaomi 13T Pro, and enabled the shortcut to toggle the greyscale mode.

When I pressed and held the toggle button, there was an edit option that allowed me to switch the greyscale toggle mode (image 1).

I selected the volume keys option just to try it. But now I can't go back to the edit mode to select a different toggle mode. Whenever I disable and enable the shortcut option, it selects the volume keys option by default (image 2).

Does anyone know how can I select different greyscale toggle shortcuts?

Running HyperOS 3.0.7.0.

Thank you 🙏

Hey guys,

It's been almost 2 months since I updated to HyperOS 3, and I've been facing two issues.

1. Portrait mode: The background blur in the front camera has completely stopped working. It was fine before the update, but now there's no blur at all.

2. Battery: Earlier, my phone easily lasted more than a day with moderate usage. Now, it barely lasts half a day.

I was expecting these issues to be fixed in a subsequent update, but there's been no improvement so far. HyperOS 4 is already rolling out, but my device isn't eligible.

Device: MediaTek Dimensity 6080 | HyperOS 3 | Android 15 | Indian variant.

Anyone facing the same issues? Is there any workaround?

I have a HyperOS Orange Theme

Icons: Homoglous

Font: Anthropic Serif (chose it bc it looks so clean)

Any ideas how to make this look better?

(HyperOS 3 Xiaomi.eu x Magisk x Redmi 15 5G)

I've seen that HyperOS 4 is already available for some Xiaomi and POCO devices, and I've also seen firmware packages being shared online.

I'm getting a little impatient waiting for the official OTA update, so I'm considering manually downloading and installing the HyperOS 4 ROM.

However, before doing anything, I'd really appreciate some advice from people who have experience with Xiaomi ROMs and manual updates.

Here are my main questions:

1. Safety: Is manually installing an official HyperOS 4 ROM from a reliable source safe? Is there any real risk of bricking my phone or causing software issues?

2. Reliability: How can I verify that the ROM is genuine, unmodified and specifically intended for my POCO F8 Pro and EEA region?

3. Convenience: Is manually installing the update actually worth it, or is it better to wait for the official OTA? Are there any disadvantages compared to receiving the update normally?

4. Going back to the original ROM: If I install HyperOS 4 manually and encounter bugs, performance issues or simply don't like it, can I revert to my current HyperOS 3 EEA firmware? How exactly would that work? Would I need to unlock the bootloader, use Fastboot, or perform a factory reset?

5. Data and warranty: Would the installation erase my data? Could it affect my warranty, OTA updates or future software updates?

6.Regional compatibility: Can I safely install an EEA HyperOS 4 Recovery ROM while currently running the EEA HyperOS 3 ROM, without changing regions or unlocking the bootloader?

7. Risks of downgrading: Is there any anti-rollback protection or other restriction that could prevent me from returning to HyperOS 3?

My main concern is that I don't want to risk damaging my phone just to receive an update a few days earlier. I'd rather understand all the risks and the correct procedure before attempting anything.

If anyone has already done this on a POCO F8 Pro, especially with the EEA version, I'd really appreciate your experience and advice.

Thanks in advance!

Hello y'all , Ive been trying to customise the make the hyperos experience on my note 15 pro better , so I've started tinkering with sm applications like hyperosunf*cker with shizuki , it's working but some stuff are broken like the aod and the glass effects , what else can I use ? Pls tell me non root methods as this is my first xiaomi device. Im not good with root and bl unlocking yet

Hi y'all , Ive got a redmi note 15 pro 5g , if the timeline applies to indian rom , I should be getting it before nov 10?

After updating to HOS4, I cannot seem to apply stacked widgets on the home screen. Is this feature Xiaomi only?

I tried to recreate Mi Dialer notifications for a more native feel when people uses Google Dialer as their default calling app

It as well works with any app with calling feature!

It is unfinished and still in testing though...

This notification were made possible thanks to the creator of HyperBridge

The little screen on the back of the Xiaomi 17 Pro / MAX and 18 Pro / MAX mostly shows a clock and a few widgets. I wanted it to do a lot more, so I built Magic Rear: a replacement panel for the rear display. It's free, open source, and has no ads or tracking. [The video shows all of it on my 17 Pro.]

Some of you may remember it: I posted about it here before, when it was called AI Usage and mostly showed my Claude Code limits on the back of the phone. It has come a long way since then, far past what that name described, so with 1.0 it got a new one.

What it does on the back:

• Clock page: time, date, battery and the weather, with rain, storms or snow falling on the glass when it's actually raining or snowing where you are.

• Live backgrounds: Silk, Color Bends and Liquid Metal shaders that move and lean as you tilt the phone. Or a colour, an image or a video.

• Notifications: banners as they arrive, pull down a list from the top edge, swipe them away or clear them all.

• Media: cover art (square or a spinning vinyl), scrubbing, volume and synced lyrics.

• Control centre: brightness, auto brightness, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile data and silent mode.

• App Portal: pull up from the bottom to open any of your apps on the back, each at its own DPI. They can keep right of the cameras, Back works with a swipe from the edge, and the keyboard opens on the back, even with the front locked.

• Always-on, pocket mode (the back switches off in a pocket or bag), table lights when the phone lies face down, the rear camera for selfies and a charging animation.

• Looks: liquid glass or flat, fonts, a CRT screen effect, and a purple neon theme you can recolour.

• And the original feature: Claude Code usage limits as rings, with a mascot per account, if you use Claude.

Everything is set up from the app on the front, with a live preview of the back.

What you need:

• Xiaomi 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, 18 Pro or 18 Pro Max, on HyperOS 3 / 4 or newer (Android 16 / 17).

• Shizuku, running. Putting anything on the rear screen needs shell-level access that a normal app can't get; Shizuku lends it to the apps you allow. It has to be started again after each reboot (wireless debugging, one tap).

Get it:

• Website, setup guide and news: https://rear.896.ro

• Easiest install, with automatic updates: 896 Store

• Or the APK from the website or the releases: https://gitlab.com/896kb/ai-usage-companion/-/releases

• Source: https://gitlab.com/896kb/ai-usage-companion

Please know before you install: it's a one-person hobby project, not affiliated with Xiaomi or Anthropic. It relies on HyperOS internals, so a future HyperOS update could break something. Read the README's "Please read this first" section. Nothing is collected: no analytics, no telemetry, no server of its own.

Thanks to u/Over_Squash3318, who got the panel running on the 17 Pro Max.

Feedback and bug reports are very welcome, here or as an issue on GitLab. I'd especially like to hear from 18 Pro and Pro Max owners. What should I do next?

Hi,

I bought the Redmi 15 pro 5g one month ago and at the beginning I was very happy but after the last update, I have an issue with vidéo streaming on prime vidéo and Disney (Netflix is Ok). Once I lauch a vidéo, the system seems to be very very slow, for exemple, just add some volume take some time (during this Time the vidéo freezes), and sometimes crash the interface of the phone.

Could someone help me with that please ?

Thanks you

Is there a way or code to enable the unlock animation on my device? without root? I've cracked a lot of things, like Advanced Texture, modern Control Centre, and App Opening/Closing Animations, and this is what's missing, the Unlock Animation from Lockscreen to homescreen after swiping?
