It’s so bad that I had a Chinese Mate 30 Pro 5G and you couldn’t get custom themes. Get one of those apps that open apps with certain button presses. If you get the launcher, go on the app and set it so everytime you press the home button, that it opens the Launcher. That is one way you can do it. Also I never had an issue with MIUI or EMUI. Every update gets better and better.

Nothing new. Some MIUI China and EMUI China devices have this. I remember this from the Fake MIUI ROM scandal back in Redmi Note 3/4 days.
This actually worked like a charm. thanks!
I’m on MiUI 12 and it doesn’t do this to me.
Microsoft launcher is approved…. Not quite as good nova but at least it supports new icons and the ability to change them, rename things, folders in app drawer, swipe to open the app drawer etc.
That’s why I don’t spend my money in a expensive Chinese phone, I have a Redmi note 8t and that’s enough. I still have disappointments, but at least I keep my money.
It’s only on China ROMs.
Oh ok.
That’s idiotic of Xiaomi, not OP
fuzakenna!!!
What exactly does it disable or improve? I tried disabling it but it left me with the world’s ugliest icons so I reenabled hahaha.
did you even google bro before talk shit.
I’m planning to as soon as a custom rom becomes available for my Poco F2
Where did you see he talk shit? All I see is he literally said what the pop up show and got his question answered
god tier redditor, actually thanking someone who shit-talked them
Lol he even got told “did you even google before talk shit” in the next comment (that looks like a mistake). Reddit sometimes amazes me.
some people just see antagonisation anywhere
Try deactivate MIUI optimization in Developer Options.
don’t worry, it’s only on China MIUI.
It’s only on China rom and it was like this for years.
Yeah he doesn’t buy expensive, he buys cheap Chinese phones so you kinda didn’t get what he said.
A bit off topic, but how can you change the font? Don’t find the option anywhere… And what’s the name of the font you use?
Only if you’re in Chinese ROM. If you wan set another default launcher, maybe try custom ROMs like Xiaomi eu, else stick to the default one.
Well, you for the Mi 10 Ultra which is only for the Global Market. Your best bet is to change your ROM from China to Global (Or India, if you live in India.).
It doesn’t fix anything, trust me. UI is inconsistent, and performance may be improved or hindered, depending on the device.
But that’s the China ROM. You can’t say that unless restrictions like this come to the Global/Indian ROM, too.
Smh, there is nothing dangerous about MIUI. You people are stupid. I’ve been using Xiaomi for 3 years now and nothing bad has happened. Quite the opposite in fact. MIUI 11/12 are quite the reliable Android Skins.
You just change the region to India, change your font, and then change your region again to the one you had set your phone to, before. If you want…
Zfont? Use the Themes app.
Oh, yeah, fair enough. Still, about Stock Android being less restrictive, MIUI has more features compared to Stock Android, and more customization options. Plus, MIUI 12 is waaaaay more elegant compared to Stock Android.
Mi Lanting Pro.
Yeah, I get you, but based on what you said, it’s only shortcoming is not that it has less features, but that some features are region locked.
I disabled it on my redmi note 9 pro to experiment. Here are my observations:
– Less RAM usage (from 3-3.2 GB available up to 3.4-4gb available at any point in time.)
– Icons did go wonky, but I went into the themes app and developer options to sort of get something modern back.
– Background apps don’t close as often, despite RAM usage being lower.
– Battery indicator in the status bar is now always too dark to see. (fixed this by changing the style to have the percentage in the bubble)
– UI feels smoother. Might be placebo lol. It’s always been pretty smooth.
All in all, not much changed visually except for the home screen icons. The performance seems better than before and I don’t always have to restart a video when I’ve locked my screen like before.
Interestingly enough, when I disabled MIUI Optimization, all the icons zfrom non-Xiaomi apps, became squares instead of squircles, and a new tab appeared in the Settings apps called “Multiple Users”. Also, although I have an LCD panel, an option to turn off/on the Always-on Display got added to the “Lock Screen” tab.
Yeah I got the same with the icons, but you can change the icon shape in developer settings to kind of match the non-themed ones. Or just get a different launcher, lol. I went with the developer settings option and it looks okay. I also got that same always on display option and multiple users. I think multiple users was hidden in some other MIUI bundle/tab and they disable always on display because it’s an LCD.
I wonder, do the other 2 theming options work? The System Colors one and the System Font one.
In the developer options or the Xiaomi themes app? In the developer options, the accent colour doesn’t work. Not sure about the font.
But the Xiaomi theming app seems to work just fine.
Yeah, I meant the accent colours. Probably was a last minute addition just because it is available on Android 10.
I suspect accent colours don’t work because of the MIUI theming engine.
And I’m glad it’s working out for you ;). Some of “us people” just don’t like it.
Not liking something and flat out misinforming people is very different.
I’ve got a Chinese ROM mi 10 ultra it’s letter me change nthe launcher I just like the default.
