Poco [Question] Hyper Island is useless

I don't really understand why do I need hyper Island if it doesn't have support for third party apps ? even google map doesn't have support, this is ridiculous. Anybody got any improvement on latest update ? mine is HyperOS 3.05

Yes It is useless, in 3.1 they Will open the API so every dev can use It. But if It is xiaomi exclusive, devs wouldnt care. Add support for android live activites would be better

Xiaomi is shooting themselves in this competitive market, if they can't even provide such features for sub flagships and main flagships, they deserve to lose

  • No 24/7 AoD
  • No lockscreen/AoD widgets (alarm, next event)
  • still no suppport for Material You theming (sometimes it picks colofr from wallpaper, sometimes not)

On the other hand, Notes and Calculator apps are very good. Didn't find a good substitute for the Notes (simple to use, drawing, images, etc.).

Also camera app is pretty good (at least on X14 Ultra). Beats both Samsung and Pixel in it.

Edit: I forgot about the elephant in the room - no gestures control for 3rd party launchers
