MIUI 10 - swipe up - enable Google-search instead of MIUI-search? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Since every aosp Rom (last was Pixel Experience) gets laggy after some time, I decided to go to miui again, since I never had lag problems with miui.
My GF's RN4 was faster than my RN5 running PE 9.0 so I said it's time for a change.
On miui I only hated the notification lag (or no notification at all) and the, for example reply in statusbar not working like in aosp.
So, since they changed it in miui 10.3 (maybe even before?), I was quite happy with almost everything.
What I am missing is the "swipe up" to Google search, or swipe right from home screen to Google search.
I managed to deactivate the App-Vault (swipe right from home) but I dont know, how to set Google search instead of that miui search at "swipe up from home screen".
Is there a chance to do it?
Or set Google search to "swipe right from home screen"?
I haven't found an option to change the swipe gestures.
I still miss some other stuff from aosp Roms, since they are all "Google based" but miui is miui and I guess you can't have everything.
I'm on Xiaomi.eu 10.3 MIUI, Magisk installed.
Thanks!
EDIT:
With Google search I meant the Google assistant / Google Now too. I mean, it's standard feature with aosp Roms so I guess you know what I mean.. The Google search with some news underneath the search bar.

Aargh, too bad.
And is there a chance to disable that search or set anything else at that place?
That "feature" is just not necessary for me.

Actually you can enable swipe up to google search back. You just need to clear default of the mi browser in setting > installed apps > browser > clear default. You may notice that the browser doesn't have any default. Just tap on it and the swipe up gesture will open google search again.
How i notice this? Cause everytime there is mi browser update. The swipe up gesture revert back to that xiaomi browser.

Sadly not working for me.. Maybe you don't use the same version?
Also, another question.
If I flash global beta, am I going to get Google search?
If so, what are the benefits (if any) of global beta Rom if you compare it to Xiaomi.eu?
I think, Xiaomi.eu Roms are bit more optimized and debloated or?

Global beta is more stable than the stable channel (which i use currently - build 10.0.6). While there isn't any big difference between xiaomi.eu and global beta since they use the same build except for ads (which can be disable by unistalling msa apps with adb debloater). And yes, you get all google apps in global beta
Btw, can you clear default for google apps and google chrome to see if it working?

Nope, still not working.
Well I guess I have to live with it. It's not that big problem, since I can start the Google feed with the widget.
It would be good though, if you could disable the miui-search but if you have no idea how to do it, then it's alright..
thanks though!

Hey, I had the same problem and solved it! (sorry for digging up an 8 months old thread)
Get xiaomi debloater and uninstall Browser and Search (com.android.search), and voilá. At least it did work for me, on Mi 9, Xiaomi.EU rom.

actually You can enable swipe up google search if you r a root user..
you have to follow some step
step 1: reinstall the rom
step 2: root
step 3: immediately install lucky patcher
step 4: uninstall the system app browser
done!!
google swip up gesture will enable for forever until you reflash the rom.
if you follow step 3 and 4 now without reflash rom the swipe up gesture will show app not installed..
I done this before I am using swipe up google...

You can do it without root, usb debugging adb allows you to uninstall system app without root, and please do not mention L* P* here, it's against the rule to mention that app on xda.

I just wanted to let other users know that this still works on MIUI 12 ! (Mi 9 Lite)
Thanks for the hint! I tried to uninstall Mi Browser via ADB (as I did before), but that didn't work this time. Your post saved my day!

OnePlus 3 and Daydream VR

Hi all,
did you see this? http://www.daydreamdistrict.com/run-daydream-vr-oneplus-3/
This seems to be the only way to have the OnePlus 3 ready for Daydream. I still tried this customization (comment).
Has anybody did this, too? What can be the reason for unsuccess?

Was this a question or a hint? Yes, actually I do not have any Daydream VR Controller. But I didn't have any Icons in my Launcher.
By default the line "<feature name=”android.software.vr.mode” />" is set. The other has to copied in. And after reboot no nothing.

after adding those lines you have to go to the playstore or use APK mirror and install daydream app and daydream keyboard the line
"<feature name="android.software.vr.mode"/>" just enables the support but you still have to install the apps

If you start the device it first asks for PIN's (unlock SIM) and then the PIN (unlock device) or fingerprint or what ever ... and then there is nothing. You can open the taskmanager. In my case with the message "No recently opened Items". First I thought is is an error in OxygenOS Launcher but as I installed Nova (install apk through adb install, because no icons -> no Google Playstore) there was no icon, too. No screenshots from me ... if I do it again it will take me another 1 hour for repairing.

Unfortunately i don't know what to say as when i added the lines in my device booted normally and no crashes anywhere it was just useless for me as i dont have a second android device with gyroscope free lying around but i can assure you Google Daydream works flawlessly on oneplus 3

Did you set the correct permissions after editing the file? (Check the screenshot.) I suggest you use 'root browser' from the play store, edit the file and then set the same permissions as in the screenshot. Just long click the file and tap 'permissions'
As You can see Daydream VR is working perfectly with Oneplus 3 just need a second droid device with gyroscope or buy the actual daydream Vr headset and controller
FYI i am using daydream on lineage OS the New official one

Pixel Launcher w/ swipe-right feature [no root]

You can now install a modded Pixel Launcher with swipe-right (Google Now-feed) feature on Moto G5 - no root access necessary!
App shortcuts won't work, tho (only Android 7.1.x).
Important: uninstall original Pixel Launcher first (if installed as user-app apk)! Download
Enjoy!

Thank you my friend, your work is very good, congratulations. Just two doubts now, when I open the camera and go to the front the device restarts, I am not able to use the front camera. And when I use SmartView, the device also reboots. The device restarts when using SmartView and Front Camera. Would you know what that might be?
I'm using the Tutibreaker ROM Note Fan Edition (NoteP).

you can fix it by moving the camera and smartview from your rom to the system, but make sure its the same folder like priv-app or app

Question Is there a fix for gestures when using a custom launcher?

So I tried using Nova Launcher and then disabling gestures but they don't work at all anymore. Every time I reboot my phone again, the home/back buttons come back again. Any fixes for that?
I use nova launcher and the gestures work perfectly, so only the gestures in the nova launcher. If you want to use native gestures, you must use the poco launcher.
In order to provide gestures properly the app needs to have privileged permissions. This means it needs to be a system app. A custom ROM (on a different phone) had an app called quick switch which changed the chosen launcher to a system app and then rebooting.
In short: try to use root and an app to make nova launcher a system app

I will try that and report back. I don't think it will fix the problem with rebooting+ home buttons appear again but at least making it usable without a third party app (using Fluid Navigation Gestures)
I found a way. For anybody wondering, here are two links with a tutorial on how to do it:
MIUI 12.0 - MIUI 12.0/12.1/12.2/12.5 STABLE RELEASE
Hi, can someone tell why my mi9t pro give me "up to date" when yesterday realised a new 12.5? And is it save if i download manually and install directly from "choose update package" to move from 12.0.6.0 QFKCNXM to 12.5.4.0 RFKCNXM? Hello =>...
xiaomi.eu
MIUI 12.0 - MIUI 12.0/12.1/12.2/12.5 STABLE RELEASE
Thank you... If the only way to make an App 'System' is to create a specific Magisk module ... I honestly don't know if I'm capable of it !! :-\ I made the Magisk module for you => MiRadio-v1.1-Magisk.zip ;) EDIT: Update to v1.1 -> Added "com.miui.fmservice" app

Maybe this can get stickied for people to have it idk.

Question Changing default file manager app

Is there a way to change the default file manager app without rooting or using custom rom? Xiaomi file manager has so many ads and i want to change it to google files.
i think you can remove - some of the - the ads by going to settings and disabling the "show recommandations" - chinese for show ads
there's a lot of those toggles in miui, also in the security, browser, search in the miui forum there was a guide on where to find them all.
or easier, just go for a custom rom
im not to sure you need to set it default, just install the google version from google play and open that insted of the xiaomi version.
youcant really remove it since it's ibstalled as a system app.
