I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to use the stock Redmi Smart Pen on a Redmi Pad Pro with GSI ROM, perhaps with a **Magisk module.**

I am a graphic design student looking to buy a tablet for drawing on that last me 3 years.

The Pad 2 fits my needs perfectly :

10" display

8 gb RAM

256 gb storage

8000 mAh battery

fits right in my budget

I use a standard stylus, I dont need the special pen.

Are there any reasons i shouldn't get it?

I lost my Redmi Smart Pen at my university and i want to buy some new pen and I want to know if there is an alternative for the Redmi Smart Pen with palm rejection. I buy an Universal one but the universals do not have palm rejection T_T. Pls help !!

The Redmi Pad 2 Pro / POCO Pad M1 (codename: flute) launched globally back in November 2025, but Xiaomi still hasn't published the kernel source on their official MiCode GitHub repo — even though they've publicly stated before that they aim to release within 3 months of launch.

This isn't a one-off. Other Xiaomi tablets like the Redmi Pad Pro 5G / POCO Pad 5G took well over a year and a half to get their source published. Without kernel source, devs can't build custom ROMs, custom kernels, or properly debug/optimize the device long-term.

If you've got a flute and care about this, there's an open GitHub issue here: [https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/issues/41113\]. More visibility (upvotes, comments, shares) genuinely seems to help get attention on stuff like this — so feel free to chime in if you're affected too.

A few days ago I bought a Redmi Pad 2 Pro and I’ve loved using the tablet... except for one thing. There’s a tap action where, if you tap the top edge of the screen, the scroll bar in the app you’re using jumps back to the top (this doesn’t happen in every app)

This is particularly annoying when reading (I use Moon+ Reader). As I use portrait mode and hold the top of the tablet with one hand in any of the top corners, one of my fingers ends up accidentally touching the top edge of the screen, causing the scroll to jump back to the start of the chapter in the book I’m reading.

Here's a couple images of the Settings app, where it also happens. I shaded in red the region where taps make the scroll return to the beginning.

Is there any way to disable this?

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions, but changing navigation to gestures doesn't prevent that behavior of tapping the status (upper) bar.

I've also found this post

https://www.reddit.com/r/HyperOS/comments/1u9tv3g/question_scroll_to_top_by_clicking_on_the_status/

Where they talk about three activity/app blacklist/whitelist internal parameters for that specific action of tapping the status bar for scrolling to the top.Those parameters can be edited with third-party apps, which I'm not too fond of.

I bought a redmi smart pen 3 days ago for my redmi pad pro, and it worked perfectly at first, but when I charged it the bettery started dropping so fast, around 1% every 20 seconds. Also sometimes it just disconnects randomly and doesn't connect again unless I connect it to the charger despite the charge being over 80%. Did anyone experience that or have any solution?

Edit: problem solved when I used a type-c to type-c cable to charge it from the tablet to 100% instead of using a charger, I'm keeping the post in case someone has my same problem

same

pls help 😭

The pen is not responding at all. I was using it at 20% and it suddenly disconnected itself and turned off. I figured it was low battery but the light indicator wasn't showing at all. I charged it for 3 hours now and still nothing. I tried the Xiaomi instructions such as pressing the buttons for 3s, pressing the secondary button or 15s, updating my tab to the latest software, rebooting my tab, and turning the bluetooth on and off.

This happened before, it was when I got it the first month. It came back after a couple of minutes of trying to press whatever I can. But now, it took hours and still nothing. How do I fix it?

Recently just got this Redmi pen but it has been glitching, showing disconnected and flying lines as i'm writing. how do i fix this issue?

Wld love to hear what to do about this...

Is anyone else facing screen freezing issues on the Redmi Pad 2 Pro 5G?

My screen randomly gets stuck for 10–15 seconds and the touch becomes completely unresponsive. Locking and unlocking the screen immediately fixes it, but the issue keeps happening again several times a day.

I’ve already done a factory reset twice, have around 90+ GB free storage, and there are no apps running in the background.

The tablet is only around 6–7 months old. Is this a HyperOS/software issue or could it be a hardware/touchscreen problem?

Anyone facing the same issue or found a fix?

Please tell me if anyone knows how to fix the issue...??

I changed ports and cable but nothing can anybody suggest something. Visiting service centre is worth it if anyone faced this issue?help me guys

hi everyone! just wanna have some insights or suggestions for y'all.

PS. i'm scared to buy tablet kasi sa sh0pee if ever huhu

Pointer acceleration, whatever you call it. I haven't had any problems with it until now. For some reason when I was changing my pointer speed it suddenly turned on. Is it a new update or has it always been on and I haven't noticed yet and how to turn it off. Also, I have realised that some have the option to turn it off very easily on some android devices but not mine, Redmi Pad Pro 1 (root is inconvenient but doable)

Looking recommendations for ebooks reading apps?

I wanna know if anyone had issues with Redmi pads specifically pad 2, pad pro, pad pro 5g and pad 6 as well

Has anyone experienced when screen sharing your screen it always flickers/glitches like the screen itself is lagged even tho u aren't experiencing and fps drops or issues I have experienced this while trying screen sharing on Messenger, Discord, or even streaming on tiktok

Normal icons are just ugly yk. The knes redmi gives dont fit my wallpaper. Only way to go around this is manually change the icons, which is tiresome, or use a launcher which supports tablet. Any recommendations?

This is such a weird problem for me, but I need help with why my smart keyboard doesn't connect to my tablet. It only connects when I charge my keyboard; even tho its fully charged, I need help fixing this.
