Emir BardakçıXiaomi has quietly released a substantial HyperOS Launcher update containing version 5.39.40.11072-04301537 on handsets around the globe. This fundamental system element is the underpinning of the seamless user experience that millions of Xiaomi enthusiasts have grown accustomed to and depend on a daily basis. The new update, taken from the advanced HyperOS 2.2 beta initiative, is centered on the enhancement of stability and fixes aimed generally at the smartphone experience. Though the update is seemingly modest in scale with a mere 21.57 MB in size, it tackles a number of under-the-hood problems users have complained of in prior versions of HyperOS, reflecting Xiaomi’s continued dedication towards software optimization and consumer satisfaction.
Global Availability Across Geographies
One of the most significant advantage of this launcher update is its availability across the globe. Contrary to some of the past releases that rolled out sequentially across the world and China separately, this one is being released simultaneously both for worldwide users and Chinese users. This simultaneous launch makes sure that all the users of Xiaomi enjoy the same performance and stability irrespective of their geographic location.
The universal rollout strategy reflects the company’s changing software distribution strategy that puts more focus on providing uniform user experiences within its worldwide user base. It is helpful particularly for users who constantly switch regions as well as users of imported handsets.
Bug fixes and stability enhancements
The chief emphasis of this update is the resolution of bugs that have impacted earlier releases of the HyperOS Launcher. Though Xiaomi does not give a comprehensive list of the fixes that have gone into the software, certain changes have been noted by the users post-update:
Increased responsiveness when launching between apps
- Reduced animation is stuttering when opening folders
- Corrected infrequent app icon display problems
- Improved gesture navigation consistency
- Fixed widget loading delays on the home screens
These fixes all contribute towards a noticeably more polished and stable launcher experience, especially on the latest HyperOS 2.2 beta platforms.
How to Update Your Launcher
People wishing to install this new launcher version have a number of methods of updating:
- Download the APK directly from HyperOSUpdates.com
- Update using the MemeOS Enhancer app from the Play Store
For the people that want the quickest access to this update, the MemeOS Enhancer app not only gives the option of updating the launcher but even opens up access to Xiaomi’s hidden features, system app updates, as well as over-the-air updating capabilities that may not as yet be directly accessible using standard methods.
This launcher update, a generally bugfixing-oriented one as opposed to a new-feature one, shows Xiaomi’s commitment to iteratively polishing the HyperOS experience even in the intervals between full system updates.
