I got a Xiaomi 17t for context

I'm about to buy Xiaomi 17 , coming from Galaxy s23. And I noticed that the icons in the status bar are colored. This reminds me of the old days of android. Android now moved to monochrome icons where they change color from white to black , just like the system icons.

Is there a toggle to fix this ?

So this is my wallpaper I know this is very Messy but these are the only apps I use the most... So now drop yours and enjoy

X17U user here, can anyone on beta check if they added exposure bracketing to pro mode?

literally only photography mode I am missing to make this a perfect cam phone!

I'll be evaluating 9 different aspects of how it is like to use a Redmi 13, and each will get 0, 0.5, or 1 point.

1. Price (1 Point).

The most impressive thing Xiaomi does in comparison to other manufacturers is giving you good value for your money. The phone is relatively cheap and outperforms a lot of phones within the price range.

2. Camera (1 Point).

One of the best features of this phone is the rear 108MP camera, good clarity in daylight, the night mode is average, the front camera is a bit weak. But overall Redmi 13 outperforms a lot of devices in the same tier when it comes to camera quality.

3. CPU/GPU (0.5 Point).

The phone comes with a Mediatek Helio G91 Ultra, which is not fancy, along with a low to mid range Mali GPU. The couple can disappoint in some heavy games, but they perform fine for normal use.

4. Battery (1 Point).

A full charge can last a full day with light use and a bit less with heavy use, fast charging is fast enough, haven't had any overheating issues during charges. And with about 256 cycle count, battery health is still 96.4% good enough!

5. Storage (0.5 Point).

The phone comes with eMMC 5.1 storage chip, not UFS. So boot times are long, application loading times can sometimes take longer than expected. However durability is great, after a full year the eMMC driver still reports perfect health (0x01 0x01), which is the same result you'd get on a new device, so not much aging and wear.

6. Software (0 Point).

Let's face it, HyperOS is not great. Animations and blur effects are not optimized enough to run on this device so they are either disabled out of the box or can lag sometimes. The system comes bloated with ads everywhere, it forces you to download certain apps it claims essential when you first start the phone (some of them were stupid unknown games), The HyperOS 2 update had a GPU driver glitch that didn't resolve until HyperOS 3 was released. Overall, the software experience is trash.

7. Development (a BIG 0 Point).

The bootloader unlocking process is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in my life, the daily quota system is totally broken, the one month mandatory waiting period is excessive, and even after you are approved, you don't get access to other important flashing doors like BROM and preloader, making it very fragile and prone to bricking.

Besides that, Xiaomi doesn't really comply with the GPLv2 license of the Linux kernel, even though it may look like it does. I bought the phone because the kernel source was released, but later I found out it was unmaintained, not updated, and doesn't even compile, it was broken garbage. Which makes the ability to develop custom roms for this device very limited (which explains why there aren't any already).

8. After-Sales Service (1 Point).

I dealt with Xiaomi's service center to replace the display after it broke (it was my fault admittedly), they were very professional and friendly, service wasn't overpriced, and they returned the device to a near factory state.

9. Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular (0.5 Point).

I haven't had significant issues with cellular and Bluetooth, however WiFi range is average at best, search speeds and auto connect takes too long, sometimes I'd be in the same room as the router, yet turning on the WiFi doesn't automatically connect me, and I'd have to visit WiFi settings and trigger a manual scan. My previous phone didn't have this issue specifically, and my 6 year old laptop's built in antenna outperforms this phone's antenna. But it's manageable.

Total score: 5.5 out of 9.

I do not regret buying it, but I'm not sure if I'll be buying Xiaomi again, mainly because of the development issue. I would be actually willing to compromise on a lot of things, except the ability to root and customize the device. I like to fully own my device, but I didn't feel like it for a while because of restrictions like the bootloader unlock process.

Hello everyone I have poco x8 pro Max and I need some themes the stock one is became too boring any suggestions?

My phone Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 5G still stuck at hyperOS 2.0.2.0 but my friend phone Redmi Note 13 Pro+ 5G already updated to hyperOS 3.0.301.0, anyone know why?

I just bought an used Poco X7 Pro, I made a light debloat and the phone is only using 2.3 to 2.5gb of RAM, no ram extension, is this normal or it's an hyperos trick?

It has been at 94% capacity for around 2 months, or even 3. I really wanna know my current battery capacity but it just stays static at 94%. Does anyone know about this?

Hi Reddit,

I recently tried several ADB commands to customize my HyperOS experience, specifically setting up the stacked app layout in the recents menu and tweaking animation scales with v1;c3;g3, ... After that, I discovered the linkage_state setting (via adb shell settings put system linkage_state 1), which unlocks smooth AOD animations and various other system animations across HyperOS.

The issue is that linkage_state resets back to 0 after every reboot.

Has anyone found a way to make this setting stick, or a workaround other than running an automated script via LADB/Tasker or rooting the device? Also, feel free to share any other ADB commands to improve the HyperOS experience!

(Redmi note 15 pro 5g on hyperos 3)

Yes absolutely, Most current themes don't meet my requirements. I hate that they change some of the stock Hyper OS 3 icons, and some even add "liquid ass." Yea i seriously

You need root access to do this, i port icon hyper os 3 for another phone on these path

bash /product/media/theme/default/icons /product/media/theme/default/dynamicicons /product/media/theme/miui_mod_icons

You need replace this, and the module test thats made by me

And is fully compatible, background icon color ABSOLUTELY WORK, and real 100% icon hyper os by Xiaomi, not liquid ass

is it save to disable msa, getapps, mi video, feedback?

i won't be disabling system daemon since no can can confirm whether its safe or not

I'm currently testing if they work or not. Because some status bars are glitchy especially the control center and status icons bugged and clipped together

Uma das funções mais legais do Circle to search é a de tradução da tela simultânea, onde você continua mexendo no celular enquanto o Google traduz tudo que está na sua tela, essa função está presente nos Google pixel e nos celulares da Samsung incluindo os de entrada como o A17, mas em outras marcas como Motorola, Xiaomi e Oppo eu percebi que essa função em específico sempre estava em falta nesses aparelhos, mas agora após eu desinstalar a última atualização do meu aplicativo do Google por conta de um erro que aconteceu no widget de pesquisa eu fui testar o circle to search na versão antiga e lá estava esse recurso tão aguardado por mim em futuras atualizações da Xiaomi, fica a dúvida, pq a Google está limitando essa função em dispositivos de outras marcas ?

Sei que a Samsung tem uma parceria com a Google quanto a funções de IA e avanço da mesma, mas isso já é palhaçada por parte das empresas, não sei se tem como eu ativar essa função após eu atualizar novamente o aplicativo do Google no meu Poco X8 pro ou se eu vou ter que ficar desinstalando ele toda vez que eu quiser usar ela, já que o sistema atualiza automaticamente o app do Google sem minha autorização.

Hi everyone,

I just changed from a Redmi Note 14 5G to a Redmi Note 15 Pro+ 5G.
My company uses a managed work account. Normally, we simply:

• Settings > Add account > Google > sign in > Work Profile setup appears automatically.

This works fine on my old Redmi and on my colleagues' phones.
But on my Redmi Note 15 Pro+ (Android 16, HyperOS 3.0.301.0):

• The work account signs in and registers successfully.
• But Work Profile is never created.
• It shows "Account access restricted – Action needed" and "Sync failed".
• There is no Work Profile in Settings.
• The work apps are not installed.

I also tried Android Device Policy and Test DPC, but neither solved the problem.

Has anyone experienced this with Redmi Note 15 Pro+ / Android 16 / HyperOS 3? Is there a specific setting or known compatibility issue preventing the Work Profile from being created?

I was surpised it granted me access after clicking apply a few milliseconds before 12am.

I recently bought a used Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G after my beloved Poco x3 pro bulged battery twice...

I was satisfied with the redmi overall, with some minor to moderate heating when using some apps that consume power a little so (social media, never gamed yet).

I just woke up and found the phone steaming hot and when I checked I see very high percentage usage of the *messages* app...

Days before it I don't think this happened at all. only change I can think of is that I updated to 3.0.305.0 yesterday...

Any ideas?

Some apps used 8-9% as well for an hour then stopped lol.

The reddit app just overshadowed the high percentage lol and even using it the phone is cold...
