Hi! Could you please direct this message to the development team.
I’m a new owner of Mi 9T and first time user of MIUI. I have multiple wishes to make the interface better:
- Make home screen and all Xiaomi apps rotate in landscape (especially needed in clock, calculator and file manager).
- Make apps sortable alphabetically and otherwise (see LG phones for reference), but don’t make the first screen or other user customized screens sorted, only the rest of the apps at the right side.
- After long press in home screen, make all the windows always visible below so you can easily sort them in any order you wish.
- More volume level steps are needed, at least twice as much. The most silent step is too loud with some headphones before bedtime. Give some steps to have less volume.
- Make it possible to toggle between modes silent, vibration only, sound + vibration and sound only from the single button below the volume bar.
- Have settings icon visible in the pull down menu in landscape too.
- Make it possible to jump straight to split-screen when using gestures, without having to first open task manager and then selecting the apps, effectively closing the active app. For example when you use Youtube, you have to pause the video due to this limitation.
- Introduce a quick toggle for 3G on/off and separate one for 4G on/off.
- Introduce high touch sensivity mode for usage with gloves with a quick toggle for it.
- Make it possible to disable fast charging.
- Make it possible to disable activity of Xiaomi virus app if you already use another protection app like Bitdefender.
- In camera app, make it possible to choose which camera mode to start with (default option).
Secondary topics:
- Create your own Xiaomi keyboard with two features:
- Resizable keyboard with both width/height and starting width/height separately adjustable for landscape and portrait (”starting” meaning empty space below the keyboard or at the sides of the keyboard).
- Moving cursor by holding space-key and moving finger left or right.
Believe it or not, I cannot find a keyboard from Play-store that has both of these features included. Keyboard like this would be a banger and sell well, since big phones which you also sell are hard to write with. You could make the board preinstalled and free on your own devices and purchasable for other devices.
- Consider an option to have notification menu at the bottom of the phone, since with big screens your thumb naturally wants to swipe from the bottom upwards (check iOS devices for reference).
You create great phones! Your Android skin is lacking compared to the best (especially Sony), but with these improvements you would already do strong.
