Since I was able to install HyperOS on my Xiaomi mobile at the end of last year, I have discovered many of its secrets and most useful functions: the renewed gallery, the secret button of the fingerprint reader, a setting to make our mobile faster or battery improvement. These are just a few examples of the utilities included in the Xiaomi’s new layer.
In the area of customization, the software now included in Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones maintains a traditional MIUI look: the theme support. And there are all kinds, although I recommend the ones I’ve personally used all these months. Almost a year with HyperOS and I still can’t decide.
Themes for HyperOS: your Xiaomi mobile will never be the same again
From the “Themes” application included in HyperOS for Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO mobiles, it is possible to customize the system in a very simple and fast way. Unlike what happens when we change the launcher, Xiaomi themes modify every corner: Control Center, Settings, icons, notifications, etc.
Some are paid, most freebut fortunately, to establish the best designed ones, you will not have to go through the checkout. Next, I will tell you, in the form of a list, which HyperOS themes I recommend installing. Tap on the name to access the official theme store.
- Flame Gradient: a very simple theme that doesn’t disrupt the aesthetics of the Xiaomi system too much. It brings it a bit closer to the Pixel, with round icons and more recognizable shapes.
- Wave Boys: This cool theme offers us a live wallpaper and icons that follow its accent colors. The style is very minimalistic, but it looks great.
- Orange Blossoms v15: I love its icons, with this 3D style and relief that give it a modern side. Maybe the wallpaper doesn’t really convince me, even if every time I wore it, I changed it for something of my own.
- Simplicity of Life: As the name suggests, Simplicity comes in the form of a minimalist theme with an emphasis on white color. It is very elegant and does not touch the quick settings area, which I like the default style of HyperOS.
- Rainforest: A very natural theme in which green predominates. Simple and small icons for a modification that also affects system applications such as messages.
- Black gold: elegance also attracts attention and even more if its tones are golden. This free theme adds animations to the lock screen clock and changes the Xiaomi interface in the system and in applications.
- Flower Toucan: a theme that starts from an illustration of a toucan, to highlight the green in its icons which have a very different appearance with rounded edges.
- Paper UI: colorful and minimalistic, that’s how I would define it. And also, customize the Control Center, making it more attractive. HyperOS settings also change, as well as the shape of the icons, which become square.
- My Life V50: with some very successful icons and renewed animations, it is one of the best presented themes. In fact, practically no icon will be missing in the most popular applications such as messaging or social networks. Highly recommended.
