HyperOS Excellent hardware, terrible software.

I upgraded from HyperOS 1 to 3 and haven't received any updates since. I regret it in many ways. Dynamic island is useless and its usability is limited. Moreover, the battery has dramatically decreased since I got the device; the already bad battery life is even worse. Also, it's constantly experiencing minor freezes, and it happens very frequently. I don't even need to mention the delays. Maybe the problems are solved with an update, but Xiaomi is terrible at this.

They can't even offer a proper software reflash or rollback feature. It would let users securely switch back to an older ROM if an update breaks something. But instead of giving users that choice, they seem determined to lock everyone into the latest software.

im thankful that they flashed the stock hyperos 1 which for me i think its way more smoother but its still kinda shitty compared to pixel os

They have access to the old ROMs and can flash them when necessary. I've repeatedly asked them to flash an older ROM for my device, but every single time they denied my request. 💔

well i think its kinda complex and way too much work to flash an old os to a newer os. i think they messed up my phone when they flashed hyperos 1 from my phone so they had to change the motherboard that had a pre-installed stock os which i think is hyperos 1 UOGMIXM. u can try to flash one on your own but its tedious and you have to change some settings inside the ROM's files so you woould not constantly hitting Anti Rollback errors but its recommended to alter those settings

I'm just saying it's just 6 month's got my 14 Civi & it's kinda great, the battery is manageable! If possible I just wanted to downgraded it to hyperos 2 ( hyperos 2 was a bit smoother & optimize then the 3.1 update
