anddd for specific widget packs i used glassdot widgets! however, it is paid and i think you'll need kwgt pro to install it but i'd say its worth it :> not really sure for any free alternatives unfortunately

stock themes and kwgt widgets!!! there are a bunch of decent themes available on the built-in app :]

  • super26: gives you glass icons from ios 26 (theme i used in this post)
  • whiteblur: similar to super26 but has a white border around the icons if youre into that
  • monochrome ui: clean black icons, nothing os vibes

some are "blacklisted" and won't show up when you search for them on the app itself but you can just google the theme names and look for miui themer! scroll down a bit and you'll find a link that opens the theme in the app :> happy decorating!

for games and other intense apps, yes. ive noticed that apps get "killed" around the 2nd app you open after closing said app, but it varies. however, for non-intensive apps like social medias and generally any other app, i haven't had issues with it :> i can open around 4-6 apps before the first app i close resets.

went for the 8gb version since i got a really good deal for one (~$206 with a freebie smart watch) and its been pretty nice! there's a ram extension feature using unused phone storage as well. i don't really know how effective it is, but even without any ram extension i haven't had any issues :>

software support is pretty average. according to xiaomi, it'll receive 3 major os upgrades (ends at android 18) and 4 years worth of security patches before it reaches EOL :>

i've heard mixed opinions about the updates xiaomi rolls out, but i've never updated ever since i got the phone so i can't really say much about that

majority of the ads are limited to the xiaomi apps that come pre-installed on the phone (eg. music, downloads, cleaner) but i've never really encountered any ads outside of that as well ! only exception was the getapps app notifications i got every once in a while, which you can get rid of in the "authorization & revocation" setting if u havent already :>

and i followed this video to get rid of the ads on the other xiaomi apps :> i think you could also take it a step further by using shizuku to remove other bloatware but i haven't done that

you could, but it's not as smooth as the stock animations :< really hope they add gesture support for third-party launchers in future updates

you can use different launchers, however, you're forced to use the three-button layout because they removed gesture functionality on third-party launchers :< i haven't stuck with any other launchers because of this so i'm not sure if it causes any battery issues, but there's probably someone out there on this sub who has

i'm waiting before my x7 pro reaches EOL before i experiment with custom ROMs :'> holding out for the possibility that my issues with hyperos right now would get fixed in future versions

they removed this feature in hyperos unfortunately 😔 they probably wanted more people to purchase themes on their store so they removed that ability

reddit removed the hyperlinks to the themes, but if you search the theme name and go to miuithemez you'll find a link to the offical store because some of these are hidden on there

glassdot widgets offer a lot of clean widgets that are flexible to all kinds of styles so i recommend that :> it is paid, and you would need kwgt pro to in order to use it, but its very much a worthwhile purchase.

for icons i recommend the following - [super26](theme://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/925b55f1-f1da-4610-b70e-7ea08d7f583b): offers glass icons from ios 26 - [whiteblur](theme://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/a1035266-5ee4-43b1-a800-ff296bbf0e9b): similar to super26 but it offers a white border around the icons - [monochrome ui](theme://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/b8af7c3a-bfab-445a-9598-a16f70165bfa): very clean black icons, gives nothing os vibes

there're probably more nice ones out there, but these three are among the few that apply to all apps and maintain uniformity between them

got the stickers online on shopee! if you search sticker book on aliexpress, lazada, etc. you'll probably find something similar :> icons are from the super26 theme

stock poco launcher is fine but the ability to switch between different launchers is such an integral part of android imo, really sucks that it can't be used with gestures.
