The customization layers of the different manufacturers that occupy the telephony market give it a unique and differentiated appearance from the rest of the devices. There are many existing ones, but, without a doubt, one of the most popular at the moment is MIUI from Xiaomi given its extensive tools to modify the phone’s interface at will.
The software of the Asian technology giant is integrated into mobiles of the brand itself, as well as Redmi and POCO. However, this does not mean that it is exclusive to these smartphones , since there is the possibility of installing this layer on your phone to enjoy the characteristics of the Chinese entity’s program.
Xiaomi anywhere
If you are passionate about Xiaomi, and more specifically about MIUI, you will be interested to know that getting hold of the launcher used by the eastern company does not hide much difficulty. This is due to the fact that the company itself has introduced the launcher in the Play Store , that is, the Google virtual store that all Android mobiles incorporate from the factory.
This is called Mint Launcher and the best thing is that it is not an adaptation of a third-party developer, but rather Xiaomi itself has decided to provide this perfectly replicated version. Next, we are going to explain in detail how to download and install it on your smartphone regardless of the brand, although we already told you that the procedure is very simple.
The first thing is to go to the Play Store and once inside use the top search engine to enter “Mint Launcher”. As you can see, despite not having heard anything about this software, it is quite popular among users with more than 10 million downloads .
Of course, it is only available for terminals with Android 5.0 or higher operating system, so the spectrum of compatible devices is quite wide. In addition, its weight is only 8 MB , so you will not have any problem when proceeding with the download. Now, it is time to select the Xiaomi launcher as default and for this you must follow these steps:
- Open your phone settings.
- Go to the “Applications” section.
- Inside it, tap on “Default applications” and access “Startup application”.
- Choose Mint Launcher, that is, the Xiaomi launcher.
Many possibilities
Once established as a system launcher, it’s time to appreciate the changes and customizations at your fingertips. At first you will come across a grid with the same distribution that you had previously selected so as not to unbalance everything, as well as a top clock widget and a search bar. Unfortunately, it does not have the hidden options of MIUI, since, otherwise, it would not enjoy that degree of exclusivity.
To start configuring the interface to your liking, you just have to pinch the home screen so that the “Wallpaper”, “Widgets” and “Settings” options appear at the bottom. Tap on the latter to see the different tools and tap on “More” again if you want to check the other customization features. You can modify the design of the icons , the number of cells, alter the transition effect and endless options that we leave you to discover yourself.
