Any1 know how to set the recent screen in horizontal mode ?
Just got the phone for 3 day performance wise it's good. But MIUI is buggy and counter intuitive.
Been using samsung One UI couple with good lock and the experience is very good.
Anyone is there any app/way to customize the recent screen and also the gesture ?
Thank you
I know that Miui 12 allows you to change the style in "recent apps" by following this path:
Settings - Home Screen - Arrenge Items in Recents - Horizontally
(I still haven't received my Poco F3 to confirm if that works on this device)
Another option, there is a module for Magisk Manager that leaves "recent apps" in the style of Apple iOS, called "alpha launcher mod miui", you just need to wait for the device to receive Magisk support.

Hey guys,
i'm getting this weird bug, when pulling down the quick access or the notification panel by sliding down on alternate launchers (like nova launcher), it just shows really really slowly.
Like if my animations speed were set to 4X in developper options, unless it's not.
Only getting this when sliding from anywhere on the screen with gestures function of the launchers, not from the top of the screen like you would do.
Cheers
Known issue in nova on 6.0. Hopefully apps will get updated soon to support this. I live by gestures!
It's only with the gesture that the status bar does that and it's only on alternate launchers (as u said) like nova is where I've seen it as well. If I set a swipe down gesture to show notifications, and I swipe down in the middle of the screen, that will happen.
Doesn't seem like it would be a 6.0 bug

it s not android bug
it s compatibility of launcher
launcher need to get access from accessibility section in setting + some system permissions (i think)
it s not straight forward function to open notification/status bar with codes since android 5
that might cause this issue
Hey guys,
I'm right now facing some issues on my D-HD phone, which runs CM 12.1 custom ROM from this forum. Also I'm on the 12.1-20151201-unofficial-aceopt (!) build.
Issues:
a) The background of the untouched Lock screen is blacked out, as soon as I swipe to unlock the intended wallpaper is showing for a sec, then the home screen.
b) The status bar, if swiped down, blacks out the whole screen, popup messages aren't stuck to the bar and are hiding behind it.
I can't do a screenshot of it, due to the behavior of the screenshot option, that is killing the expanded status bar.
c) On the screen for recent apps (by button), ALL app preview screens are empty, only the head bars with the app names are appearing.
My phone was bug free, until I started to test an self-programmed app through Android Studio on it (per ADB, app wasn't complex nor corrupted).
I'm using the standard Trebuchet launcher (though I tested others, to see if it causes the problems), and the "Euphoria Dark Theme for CM12" ,which was also installed before the problems appeared.
I also did several reboots.
I did the full forum and google search, but wasn't able to find issues or solutions that are like this.
Do you have an idea, what am I able to do?
Thank you!
Which i have understand with your issues is that,
1)your are not getting transparent status bar, right?
2) after pulling down your notification panel you get black background in that, right ?
3) your lock screen's background is black , right ?
4) and after all these 3 issues you were also facing no animation in you window/scroll etc, right ?
For those all problem just go to settings>about phone and tap about 7 to 8 time on build number then go back you will see developer option there now tap on that find the option some thing like "force high-end graphics" switch on that and reboot your phone your problems will be solved.

Hi there,
As a proud owner of a Xiaomi mi5s Plus and a compulsive flasher of custom ROM's, I had to get rid of that addiction to flashing when I get the mi5s Plus. Not that I wanted to get rid of it, but simply put, there was no way to get satisfaction by that addiction because of the lack of material to flash.
OK... So I thought to myself : "Am I really to live with MIUI 8.0.X.0 for ever ?", which in other words, means to live with the ROM that is probably the most far away from AOSP ROM ?
Answer was, unfortunately, undoubtedly : "Yes".
So it was time for me to make a hard introspection work... and answer that most philosophical question : "WHY do I want custom ROM ?".
Basically for 2 reasons :
- 1°) because I want something close to AOSP ;
- 2°) because I want to get the ability to customize things the way I want and not be in constant constraint like iPhone users are.
And now to the point : can I get those 2 things and still use MIUI 8.0 ?
At first I thought : "Hell no. This is too close to iPhone. In fact, should you just look the screen, you think you have an iPhone".
So I decided to change things interface wise...
First reflex was to get some themes from the in-built Xiaomi Store. What a disappointment ! About 90% of those themes are called something that contains "iOS". This is EXACTLY what I want to avoid !
So how to get rid of that apparent MIUI ? The answer is pretty simple : CHANGE THE LAUNCHER ! So I installed my favourite launcher : Smart Launcher from the former "Gin Lemon" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree).
What do I get now ? Simple : I don't even notice that I am running MIUI anymore. Well, that is not exactly true. I still notice when I go to the "Settings". But that part is probably the only one that is still somewhat close to AOSP. So I can live with it despite so "rearrangements"... Indeed, once configured, I don't go to settings that often... So not a problem.
So I had to face the second reason for me to flash a custom ROM : customizations !
The most important thing to me is to be able to have shortcuts to actions and/or apps almost everywhere. I just hate to have to dig into menus, searches and stuff to be able to achieve what I am looking for. So of course, having an ROM that allows me to customize the interface is a great move. I can already have a bunch of shortcuts in Smartlauncher... but the best thing I can do is have a shortcut assigned to the hardware buttons... and there are 7 of them in the mi5s Plus (navigation : 3 ; volume : 2 ; power : 1 ; FP Scanner : 1).
So how to I do this ? I did some research but it rapidly became obvious that I will need to unlock the phone to root it and so be able to install XPosed framework and some XPosed modules. So I did. Applied to get the unlock code ; got it after 3 days. Unlocked the device, installed TWRP, installed SuperSU and installed XPosed framework.
So I of course installed the ultimate swiss army knife of UI customization : GravityBox. Unfortunately, it was of little help. It only really works when you have a "close to AOSP" ROM. But as mentioned earlier : MIUI is the farest thing to AOSP you can imagine. So a lot of tweaks had no effects. Still the major one is still present : the "App launcher". Hit a button, it will display a "pop-up" where you can add up to 12 shortcuts to apps. So I configured the "Home Butoon" to display it with a long press... I then wanted to configure the other buttons, but some can't be configured (Volume and Power), others don't take the mod ("Recents" button from the navigation buttons) and one breaks things (FP scanner => device doesn't wake AND unlock if used).
So I digged a little deeper and found another module called "XPosed Additions" : that one allows me to configure each button (yes, all seven buttons !) and I am able to assign up to 6 actions and/or shortcuts to each one of them ! And YES : that does include the FP scanner ! Imagine : for the FP Scanner :
- display off => power on & unlock ;
- display on + 1 tap => got to "Home"
- display on + long press => show the dialer (remember, even if "Smart" it's basically a "Phone" !) ;
- display on + double tap => display off
- display on + double tap and hold => bring up the camera ;
- display on + triple tap => bring up Waze ;
- display on + triple tap and hold => bring up the Radar app.
That was it on the buttons customization side. Now there was still one thing I couldn't stand in MIUI : that was the QuickSettings. I din't liked two things : "Aqua on white" for one ; not able to hide buttons I do no use for two.
For the first thing (appearance) the "Theme Store" is a nice help. Even if the theme is labelled "iOS", you won't noticed the Apple-ish look once the Launcher is installed. But you will still keep the appearance of the Quicksettings. So I applied a theme that had an appearance I found appealing.
For the second thing, another Xposed module helped : it's called "MIUI Tweaks". I gives the ability to hide the unused QuickSettings (and sideways to tweak a little the appearance : size and stuff, but notthe colour... which leaves the Them handy !).
CONCLUSION :
Even if I am, as mentioned in the brief introduction, a compulsive custom ROM flasher, I now live with MIUI 8.0 and I must say that I don't mind doing so ! At least I have everything working (camera, gallery, network, 4G...) and I also have a really nice battery life (I have used it for 48 hours and I still have 28% even though the Play Store updates automatically and I had several rather long phone calls and played "Darkness Reborn" for about 3h and played around with settings to fine tune my set-up... which gives a SOT of about 4h45minutes).
I am now waiting for Xiaomi to release a Nougat based ROM to maybe improve battery life even more...
But to tell the truth, even without a custom ROM, I am perfectly happy with this device... of course I had to spend about 5 dollars to unlock Xposed additions and MIUI tweaks (2.5 dollars each). But those were the most well-spent 5 dollars in the last 5 years ! And I will still be able to use those even if I change the phone... which I don't think will happen too soon !
Even with the few bugs it has I enjoy using lineage 14.1 way more than MIUI. Their whole apple-like approach to everything just drove me away. MIUI is just too bloaty and made me feel like my phone was being bogged down.
I just put Nova Launcher, and I don't feel bloatware at all (after 3 days of use at least).
Wish to root. And to do some changes to some buttons.
How to root?

Hi,
Yeah... I don't like it either.
But honestly, if you install another launcher, what is left of the iOS like interface ?
The "Power Menu" ? I don't use it daily...
And maybe the Notifications... But those can be changed via an XPosed module.
But of course, I agree that having the choice between several custom ROM's would be a nice addition to this device
Regards.

Hi Claudio,
To be able to root, you first need to unlock your bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader requires a permission to be granted by Xiaomi.
So you have to apply to get your unlock code.
To apply, please visit this page : "en.miui.com/unlock".
Regards.
In my Mi5s Plus I use "xMiui" and "Miui 8 Tweaks" modules: with these two modules, you can do many personalizzations like Gravity Box.
With BuilProp Editor I set the DPI to 360 to have a better use of display (icons in miui are so big!)
With these methods, I resolve all the problems with Miui interface.
But I have a multiboot way to switch to xiaomi.eu, Lineage and RR roms.
I hope Lineage and RR will be official for Mi5s Plus
One thing that I've discovered on my Xiaomi phones is that finding the right theme changes everything for the better. I was originally using the Android N theme, but recently switched to Stheme. I apply it globally (rather than in the window that allows customisation - dialer, messaging, status bar, etc). The advantage with doing this is that it themes the settings menu to a nice blue colour.
With Stheme installed, I get quick settings toggles that look like the Pixel's, and the colours in the stock messaging app become tolerable. I found that it themed the stock contacts app too dark for me, so I downloaded Zeny Purple, went into the customize theme page, and applied Zeny Purple to just the dialer. I also applied the Android N theme to just the icons.
Using these three themes, I was able to significantly improve things. I'm sure there are other decent themes available, although a lot of them are pretty ordinary.
I am on the OnePlus 8 Pro with OOS 11. Two apps you need.
SetEdit and FNG (or any other gestures app you want)
Steps:
Go to settings and turn on "Navigation Gestures"
Open SetEdit and find "op_gesture_button_side_enabled" and set that to "0" instead of "1"
Open up FNG and set it up with all the permissions that are needed
Disable "bottom edge" in FNG and only use "left edge" and "right edge" since there is conflict when "bottom edge" is used
Set them up the way you want, and now you can use hamburger menus again!
This should work for any OnePlus, and any version since this tutorial is from the OnePlus 5 and 5t
You can disable the activation of Google assistant by going into Settings > apps and notifications > see all apps > Google > disable
Can't believe no one gave you a thumbs up for this.
Nice one.
Very nice guide.
Now I can use LMT Launcher with Stock OOS Android11.
Great guide! Kudos
Is there a way to get this to work on AOSP roms?

I never used the gestures from prior versions. What is the difference between the standard android 10-11 gestures and the one you describe?

The old OnePlus gestures were a simple two button operation, from the middle of the bottom, it was either home or multi task. And the side of the bottom was back. Now the new ones change position when you flip your screen, so when watching a YouTube video, you have to swipe up twice from the bottom. The old ones you just had to swipe towards the camera from the charging port. The new gestures also have a really ****ty back button, the entire edges of the screen are back buttons now, which means no hamburger menus will work anymore. I am very frustrated by this change, so i hacked up a little solution.

I never used custom roms before, I have no idea if this works or not.
Dear Forum,
I just received my Vivo X80 Pro (Chinese Version) with Dim9000. After an Oneplus 5 I'm used to an aggressive battery management system, still struggeling with notification issues on my new device - I hope to get everything fixed in the next days.
Anyway, is there anyone who can tell me how I activate the app drawer (Home Screen - Swipe up) to see all my apps? (do I need to install a different Launcher like Nova?)
Thanks for your support.
