Emir BardakçıWhile Xiaomi is now busy releasing its latest HyperOS 2.0 update with the Xiaomi 15 series, many are left to wonder what precisely will become of those devices that the company has left by the roadside. While some of these Xiaomi phones are not officially getting the update, there can always be a way out for the users. Here’s a look at what you can do if your device does not make the cut for the HyperOS 2.0 upgrade.
Install HyperOS 2.0 System Apps on HyperOS 1.0
A somewhat easy way to get a taste of HyperOS 2.0 on an unsupported device is by installing third-party HyperOS 2.0 system applications. Most of these applications are compatible with 1.0 and can give the user some of the new features and improvements without actually having to upgrade the system fully. You can download HyperOS System Apps from MemeOS Enhancer app.
For instance, it can make new features, such as iOS-style Recent Apps, redesigned settings menus, and improved AI tools, available through standalone app installations. Of course, that won’t entirely give them the HyperOS 2.0 experience, but still a good middle ground for any users who would want to try some of the new features.
Try Out Custom ROMs of HyperOS 2.0
Of course, custom ROMs are the most desired solution in the Xiaomi community in case one wants to upgrade his device beyond official limitations. HyperOS 2.0 custom ROMs will likely become available for a variety of older Xiaomi devices, even those that are not officially slated for the update.
That means that unsupported devices can still enjoy the full HyperOS 2.0 experience with new system features and performance improvements, thanks to their ROM developers working their magic. This is one way to breathe new life into an older device for those comfortable with flashing ROMs.
Ongoing Security Updates to HyperOS 1.0
Well, just because, say, a Xiaomi won’t get the update for HyperOS 2.0 doesn’t mean that device will be left in the cold. Quite a number of phones running on HyperOS 1.0 will still get the much-needed security updates to keep users safe and make sure the devices remain reliable.
Did you know that MIUI 14 is still receiving updates?
These security updates patch vulnerabilities, making sure devices remain secure even if they are no longer receiving the most recent system features. While this might not matter to the individual user, for those users to whom security and stability regarding their smartphone or computer surpass new, novel features, this can still be peace of mind that one’s device is up-to-date.
If your Xiaomi device does not fall under the update for HyperOS 2.0, then don’t worry. You still do have a plethora of options through which you can make it more functional and safe. You may even look for custom ROMs or just stick with continued security updates by installing all system apps from HyperOS 2.0 onto the latest HyperOS 1.0, thus keeping your Xiaomi phone running well and safely while still enjoying some of the recent innovations.
