MIUI 12 brings a new look and feel to Xiaomi phones. With each new update, we get new and exciting animations and UI updates that make your phone better and more fun to use. I am running MIUI 12 on my Xiaomi Mi 9T and have been looking through some of the new improvements that you can expect once the official update begins to roll out. In this thread, I'm going to go over some of the new UI changes that I've found, and show you some animated gifs of everything in action.
Navigation gestures
MIUI 12 has brought full-screen navigation gestures to this newest update. If you've ever used an iOS device or other newer Android phones, you'll probably be familiar with the new navigation option.
To enable full-screen gestures, go to settings > Display > Full screen display. In this menu, you'll be able to switch between traditional button navigation or full-screen gestures.
Screenshots:
Once this feature is activated, you'll have a new way of switching between apps. This gif shows what it looks like when going through your apps, and the animations that make everything look nice.
After using this feature for a few days, I got used to it very quickly. Many users will be perfectly happy with traditional button navigation, so it's nice that it's still included. I would recommend giving full-screen gestures a shot and see what you think after a few days of use.
New icons, fonts, and animations
When you first start using MIUI 12, one of the things you're going to notice is that there are some new animated icons. These icons are part of the pre-installed “Classic” and “Limitless” themes that you'll find on your Xiaomi phone.
Screenshots:
MIUI 12 continues to improve on old designs with a new system typeface. This new typeface is more modern and matches the new UI and overall look of MIUI 12. In the screenshots below you'll be able to compare the MIUI 11 typeface with the new look from MIUI 12 .
This gif shows off the new animations that you'll find in some of the system icons. This gif specifically shows the animation on the gallery and weather app icons. You'll notice that once the app closes and you're back on the homepage, the animation is triggered.
Here are two more examples that include the settings and camera app.
These new animated icons make your system feel more alive. It adds an element of UI design that makes using your phone more visually appealing.
You'll find new animations across the system with graphics like battery indicators, charging data, and more. And my personal favorite animation is still here from MIUI 11, which is the popup selfie camera glow.
MIUI 12 brings a more organized and beautiful layout for all data visualizations. Screens that display battery consumption, storage capacity, app usage, or other forms of data, use animations to give you a better understanding of what you're looking at.
When I select my storage settings, an animated graphic shows a color-coded meter displaying my usage. When I select different colors, you can see how the new UI makes it easier to see and understand the data at a glance.
This results in less time spent looking at usage data, and an easier way to keep track of this data.
Live wallpapers
New options for live wallpapers are included in MIUI 12, with themes of space, landscape, and aerial shots. How to find these new live wallpapers isn't immediately apparent, so I'll walk you through the navigation.
Go to settings > Wallpaper > My page (bottom right) > Wallpapers
“Super Wallpapers” are options that include backgrounds at four levels of zoom, from the always-on-display to the homescreen background. Depending on whether you choose the Earth or Mars live wallpaper as the background, you can see the planet from a far off distance on the always-on-display to a close-up on the homescreen.
While these are just a few of the UI changes in MIUI 12, they are my favorite so far. What new changes have you spotted? Post screenshots in the comments below.​​

I wonder why is this and AD.. but tha "Super Wallpaper" looks slick

This is what the material design guideline from Google is about ... IMHO they just did their job properly (not like most of OEM app/system like Samsung or else :angel: )

[APP][WIP] Crome Launcher, a vertical launcher

-> Download link (12/01/11) <-
What?
A vertical launcher. It will, hopefully, allow you to use shortcuts, widgets and info tiles. And skins.
I plan to build something that looks like IidaHome, but more flexible (more info on IidaHome here and here)

Skinnable!
(These themes are available on the download page)
Icon themes: use ADW's!
Known Issues
Long start-up time is long!
Lacks many sexy effects.
Create Your Own Theme!
The default template you can see in the above pictures is available in source code on GitHub
It is very easy to adapt to create your own. Ask me for help if you have to!
Why?
My phone used to rock IidaHome launcher.
Of course, being a rip from a Japanese phone, users are asking for new features, etc., but, really, we do not have access to the source code and adding any feature is an exercise in hacking smali files.
I like vertical launchers but the Windows 7 copies, although quite sexy, only offer a limited number of apps per row and are limited by their reference launcher's own UI choices (Metro UI)
So, I started work on my own launcher (the mere fact of writing this sentence makes me feel embarrassed for re-inventing the wheel)
That's interesting. Is that what will appear on the App Drawer or is that for the home screens?
i'd be very interested in this as well... good luck
it looks pointed on the right way, keep on it. I just hope there will be a version for mobiles, not only for tablets (you're using a nook, aren't you?)
It's a complete home screen. I had not considered the app drawer angle.
[Mobiles] Yes it's one of the things that bothered me with IidaHome: it doesn't make good use of real estate offered by different resolutions. This particular home is created with the intent to work with any resolution; it will be possible to specify how many cells you wish per row so that you can have more cells on a Nook and, say, a max of three or four on a WVGA device.
Two quick question for the OP. What version of Android will this be for? Will you include grayscale support for the Nook Touch?
I should work on 2.1+ so your device should work.
Grayscale: I am not sure what needs to be done for that but I can certainly test on a grayscale device.
yum yum ......looking forward to this
Day 2 Update
(I can only work on this in the evening)
No video at this point, but I have:
1. Icons properly lining up and scrolling
2. Multi-column icons support
3. Add more application shortcuts
4. Add shortcuts such as bookmarks, pictures, contacts...
5. Add widgets
Missing:
1. Persistence
2. Correct icon gap management for multi-row widgets
3. Re-ordering icons
4. Separators/Folders
5. Proper refresh
6. Any kind of objects management
7. Customization of any kind
Interesting launcher. I think it would look better if the tiles had no background or a transparent one.
Thanks.
Of course the pictures you are seeing right now are by no means a commitment to a given look. In fact, it will be skinable, meaning no tiles, transparent tiles or tiles-made-of-cheese tiles
Day 4 Update
Added a new video at the bottom of the OP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyK8kn5NsE4
This video shows widgets and on-screen dragging and re-ordering of shortcuts and widgets.
This is a fantastic idea. I'm tired of iPhone wannabe horizontal launchers. It makes much more sense to allocate the icons in a vertical space rather than horizontal. It's much easier to slide vertically rather than horizontally. I believe this launcher is going to be big when it's ready.
when this is ready will it work on asus transformer (tablet)??
Day 5
Not much excitement today. I completely rewrote my layout engine so that every empty cell is automatically filled with something if possible.
I also added separators. They don't do everything I want yet.
Something that's starting to bother me: I really need to animate the widgets; at this points they can display an initial state and I can touch them to launch whatever, but they do not have a frame-by-frame animator class to give them life yet.
Jazux:
Yes, it is meant to work with any resolution so it should work on tablets.
The animation of the tile and transitions are very important to me and other i believe! And don't forget to keep everything fluid, because i have tried several launchers and only 1 is good enough
Keep up the good work
Hum, nice.one, i had a look and a long try, to iida ui.
You should try to.make it as.beautifully, animated as it.is.
Nice work, keep it up.
Sent from HydrOG3N MOD DHD.
Technology Evolves.Android Evolves.
HydrOG3N is the Revolution.
Day 6
Currently, there are no animations. Things show up, scroll up/down, disappear. That's because I want to get the basics right before I get into animating anything.
But, yes, this program will ultimately be animated; I want to use it myself so I would like something that makes me happy to look at and interact with.
Anyway, today:
I got the widget to display correctly and instantly. Then, that behavior broke (hate days like that!)
Separators work; they can hide apps
Complete refactoring or "Apps/widgets/special" code
Introduction of "Edit" mode (moving icons around will work in both modes)

Yeah. First fix the important things
Will there be a beta version for testing purposes?
If you get the vertical scrolling working perfectly how big a leap would it be to have say a regular left/right scrolling launcher with vertical scrolling only from your default home screen? I'd love to have a standard 5-screen horizontal launcher with one up/one down on the central default home screen (both with continuous scrolling...), or even as a launcher 'cube' with four horizontal and one up one down accessible from any of the horizontal scrolling screens (like turning a cube). Is any of this possible?

I'll really appreciate your feedback and suggestions!
Thanks!!
Hey
I just downloaded your app (free version). Pictures are pretty nice. Thinking about buying pro.
And here is some feedback for the app itself. I think you should make the layout like in android galerie (4+) (scrolling horizontally) or categories in tabs you can swipe through (left and right). And not such big spacing between the pictures for less scrolling
And it should be possible to see a big preview when tapping a picture to see more details.
I'm using it on a Galaxy Nexus running Jelly Bean. Setting a picture as background takes quiet long.
I really like the app and look forward to more pictures and updates.

Thank you very much for feedback and ideas!
I agree, I need to work on layout for phones On tablets (actually on large screens) I use slightly different layout - categories are always visible, so it is much easier to browse and spacing is smaller.
I was thinking about making previews, but not sure how to pick proper image size for it yet
As for setting picture as background - I know and working on it. Each wallpaper (if not in cache on the server) gets resized at the backend upon request on the fly. It usually works fine, but when app gets spikes in downloads (like now and past 2-3 days) my servers struggle a little bit This is where I'm focusing at the moment.
New update includes wallpaper previews, better screen real estate utilisation and some bug fixes. Also, app is now available on other app stores as well: appia, mobango, slideme, opera.

5 Best Android lock screen apps P 2/2

Android smartphones allow you to customize nearly everything to fit individual needs and preferences. This includes the lock screen too. Today we’ll show the best Android lock screen replacement apps that have impressive designs and valuable features that will have you getting more out of your lock screen.

Lock screen apps offer an easy way to personalize your Android phone or tablet.
1. MagicLocker Main
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.lockscreen.magiclocker&hl=en
Love different themes? Magic Locker Main offers a whole bunch of them, and is a lockscreen we can highly recommend. There are around 3000 various free themes ready to be downloaded for free from the Play Store, so choice isn’t the issue here, though choosing one could be! The app settings allow the user to change time, date and app shortcuts, as well as sound effects. Please note: so that the lockscreen isn’t easily bypassed by pressing on the home button, you might need to resort to a double lockscreen, which the developer explains in the FAQs on the Play Store.
There are over 3000 themes that you can download and use to personalize your lockscreen.
2. Locker Master
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qiigame.flocker.global&hl=en
Again, Locker Master is a master of themes, even offering unique ones like ukulele, pumpgun or cupcake. It can be unlocked with patterns or various actions, shortcuts can be added as well as weather animation, quick settings and many other useful tools. There are more options that can be used but only when you have an alternate launcher installed. Music players widgets look great on this lockscreen and you can even get notifications from your social networks.
There are a bunch of different themes and unlocking options.
3. MixLocker
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simico.creativelocker&hl=en
A super fresh lockscreen alternative on the app market is MixLocker. Next to tons of themes, you’ll also get entire wallpaper packages to keep your lockscreen interesting. The menu is super intuitive, however under the tools section, you will only find the flashlight and barcode scanner lockscreen shortcuts for now. In comparison to other apps, it also lacks the possibility to set up the lockscreen as desired. It does however let you use your own pictures on the lockscreen, but after a while you might notice that the picture slideshow uses up a lot of battery.
This app offers great designs.
4. Go locker
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jiubang.goscreenlock&hl=en
Go Locker offers quite the big lockscreen package with a bunch of great themes, whether it be 3D animations, iPhone or Windows styles, to name a few. There are a lot of possibilities, but not all are free, which you will discover after installing the app. In the settings, you will further options, like lockscreen pattern or a widget screen setup. When unlocking the screen, I did notice that it was slightly laggy. But in total, Go Locker will fulfill all of your customization needs and offer you a very intuitive settings menu.
Lots of the themes can be installed from the Google Play Store.
5. WidgetLocker Lockscreen
Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&hl=en
WidgetLocker Lockscreen can (almost) do it all! After a slight learning curve, the lockscreen alternative offers a ton of options, like color, widgets, shortcuts for apps and other functions, which can be added to the lockscreen. The varied settings menu also lets you set up the unlocking method and sounds. You are even able to backup your prefered settings option right on the app. There is only one setback: WidgetLocker Lockscreen costs 2.99 USD.
To figure out the various setting's options here, you will need some time, but after that it's smooth sailing.

All About MIUI 12

MIUI 12 is the newest update coming to many Xiaomi phones in 2020. This update brings several new UI changes to the OS, that have big improvements over the previous MIUI 11. In this thread, I’ll go over some of the new features in MIUI 12 and how I use them.
Visual Updates
MIUI 12 has a lot of updates to the user interface, and plenty of new features to explore. You’re going to notice a big difference in the way your phone visualizes data. When you’re checking your battery usage, storage data, about the phone section, or any of the many settings menus, you’ll have access to detailed and clean data visuals.
Another visually pleasing addition in MIUI 12 is the new live Wallpapers called Super Wallpapers which use animated satellite imagery sourced provided by NASA. The Super Wallpapers bind the user experience by a connected movement across different sections of MIUI 12, from the always-on display to the homescreen.

}
Here is a list of some of the best new UI features in MIUI 12:
New Design and animations
Visual representation of data
Dark Mode
Super Wallpapers
Functionality Updates
Some other new features in MIUI 12 include the new app drawer which automatically classifies apps in different categories – just like the POCO Launcher – making the sorting of apps much easier. MIUI 12 also brings the very useful floating windows, because who doesn’t like to scroll through Twitter while watching a live webinar or use two social media apps at once.
The new app drawer can be activated by going to settings > Home screen > Home screen and then selecting With App drawer.
Use the tabs at the top of the app drawer to see different apps in specific categories. I have found this feature so helpful in finding apps that I'm looking for. Some apps have very similar icons, which make them easy to miss when I'm scrolling through my drawers looking for what I want. Now it's much easier with the ability to tap "communications" and quickly be able to find discord, snapchat, and messaging all on the same page. It saves time and is a big improvement over MIUI 11.
Ultra battery saver is a new aggressive power saver mode that unlocks a much longer battery life for your Xiaomi phone. To enable this mode, go to settings > Battery & performance and toggle Ultra battery saver.
While this option is on, your phone will restrict the most power-consuming apps features and decrease your device's performance. You'll be left with basic functionality like SMS, network connection, and calls. This new mode has a huge impact on the amount of time you can squeeze out of a low battery.
One of the design elements that can be seen in a completely new avatar in MIUI 12 is the new Control center. The Control center has been isolated from the notifications panel and replaces the traditional quick settings tiles we see in Android as well as in previously released versions of MIUI. You can access the notifications by swiping down from the left side of the display’s upper edge whereas the Control center can be opened by swiping down from the right side of the display.
The Control center features a grid of quick setting shortcuts with the most important ones such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and mobile data shown in the form of rounded rectangular buttons with a tiny arrow in the bottom corner which can be used to show available Wi-Fi connections or Bluetooth devices on an overlay card. Another nifty addition is the new slider for brightness which is now placed in the center of the control center and is relatively more easily accessible than before, especially on phones with big displays. The Control center can be expanded by a downward swipe on the bar below the brightness slider and icons can be arranged manually based on your preferences.
MIUI 12 adds floating windows with the objective of offering the same multi-window experience as on a desktop. Supported apps can be opened in the form of floating windows that occupy only a small section of the display and can be opened on top of other apps. The Samsung Experience UI and its successor One UI have supported a similar feature called “Pop-up view” for many years now. Xiaomi’s version, on the other hand, feels much smoother and responsive, even in the beta build.
Click here for video demo of floating window
The floating windows in MIUI can be resized so you can continue working on another app in the background. To initiate a floating window, you can go to the Recents menu and tap on the Floating windows option on the top left. Alternatively, you can also launch floating windows by long-pressing on an app preview in the Recents menu and then tapping the picture-in-picture icon or by tapping on the floating window option in the Control Center.
Here is a list of some of the best new UX features in MIUI 12:

Thank you to Xiaomi for providing this thread.
Would be nice if with all the focus on security and control they would give us full Smart Lock control instead of the hobbled locked to Xiaomi Bluetooth devices they have now.
Yes, I love Xiaomi!!1
