In this article we will look at interesting opportunities shell MIUI. You may have heard of some of them, but many interesting functions are veiled in such a way that they are difficult to find, so many do not even know about them. Let's take a look at some of them.

INCREASE RING VOLUME

Enabling this function is not in the sound settings, as it would be logical, but in the settings of the "Phone" application. To activate this feature, you need to go to the settings of the "Phone" application and in the "Incoming calls" section, enable the item "Increase the volume". In the same section, you can find other interesting settings, such as:
- Mute the call when rolling over;
- Muting the call when picking up;
- Flash notification;
- Proximity sensor;
- Muting the beginning of the call.

The purpose of each of the items is explained directly below it (see screenshot).

REPLACING THE CALL SCREEN BACKGROUND

If you are tired of the blue background when making (receiving) calls, then you can apply the lock screen wallpaper there. To do this, go to the settings of the "Phone" application, go to the "Advanced settings" section and in the "Call screen background" change the "Default" value to "Lock screen wallpaper".

There are also other settings in this section:
- Sound when dialing a number;
- Autodial;
- Reminder of missed calls;
- Vibration when answering the interlocutor;
- other.

HIDE SMS MESSAGES FROM SELECTED CONTACTS

To do this, you need to make a swipe from top to bottom in the list of SMS messages, until the "Lock" appears. At initial setup you need to enter the password from the MI - account. After that, you will need to add pattern key or a pin code. Further in the settings, enter the phone number (or select from contacts). Now messages from selected contacts will not be available in the general list; to view them, you need to swipe from top to bottom again and enter set password or key (fingerprint unlocking possible).

BLOCKING SMS MESSAGES

When adding certain numbers or prefixes to the "Black List", you will not receive messages from them, they will be automatically blocked. This method works with phone calls, further we will not focus on this. To add numbers to the black list, go to "Security" - "Black list". Next, in the settings, add the entire number or a prefix (the beginning of the number, for example 495, calls and SMS from numbers starting with 495 will be automatically blocked). For SMS, blocking by keywords is also possible.

SENDING SMS MESSAGES AT A SPECIFIED TIME

There is an interesting opportunity to send a deferred SMS at a time of your choice, and you can select a year, month, day and time. It is very convenient if you need to send a reminder to yourself (to the second SIM card) or someone else, or, for example, set up automatic sending of birthday greetings. When creating an SMS, choose who you want to send, enter the required text, press "+" to the left of the message text.

In the window that appears, select the date and time.

The message will look like this. Above the message text is displayed when the message is sent.

DIVIDED DESKTOP

On the menu running applications drag the application icon up until two desktops are displayed. This function available only on MIUI 9 with Android 7.x.x.

ONE HAND CONTROL

An interesting feature of the MIUI shell, which will be especially useful for owners of smartphones with large diagonal screen. To activate this mode, you need to make a swipe from the "Home" button in the direction in which the screen will move (to the right or to the left). By clicking on the "Gear" in one of the lower corners (depending on where the desktop is displaced), we will get into the settings of this mode, where you can adjust to what size the desktop will be reduced (in inches).

To exit the published mode, just click on the dark area of ​​the screen.

APPLICATION PROTECTION

You can make it so that when launching certain applications, you are prompted for a password. So you can secure the reading of your correspondence in any messenger or mail. You can protect the Gallery application to restrict access to your photos. In the "Settings" for this there is a separate item "Application Protection". Once there, select the apps you want to protect.

A window with a QR code will appear.

Now, to connect to this network on another smartphone, you just need to scan the QR code.

QUICK TURN ON TO MAXIMUM SCREEN BRIGHTNESS

There are times when you go outside on a bright sunny day and you can’t see anything on the screen. the brightness of the screen was set to a very low level, which was convenient for working indoors. It is not always possible, even the first time, to enter the settings in order to increase the brightness. For this there is convenient function, which allows you to increase the screen brightness to the maximum, with a keyboard shortcut.

MIUI 8- just press the key combination "Menu" + "Volume +". The maximum brightness is set until the next screen lock. This is enough to adjust the brightness to a comfortable level.

MIUI 9 -

DISABLING NAVIGATION BUTTONS IN SELECTED APPS

This feature can be useful in games. Often during the game, there are random button presses under the smartphone screen. In this case, the game is minimized. This can be very unfortunate in the midst of events. In the MIUI shell, it is possible to disable the navigation buttons in certain applications... In the "Advanced settings" - "Buttons and gestures", there is an item "Auto-disable navigation buttons". In it, you can select applications and specify how the buttons will be disabled.

FAST ORDERING LABELS ON THE DESKTOP

MIUI 8- just press and hold in an empty space to enter the desktop editing mode, then shake the phone.

MIUI 9 - This feature is not currently available. Perhaps it will be added in the next firmware versions.

QUICK REMOVAL OF APPS

Due to the fact that in MIUI all installed applications are on the desktops, there is no need to go to Applications and uninstall them from there to remove them. It is enough to press and hold on the application icon and then move it up the screen to the trash. This function only works with installed applications, system applications you cannot delete in this way.

FAST LABEL MOVEMENT BETWEEN DESKTOP

To move an application shortcut (folder) between desktops, you need to hold the shortcut in edit mode and scroll through the desktops with your free hand (finger). After selecting the desired table and the position of the shortcut, release it.

CALCULATOR

This application has many more features than you might imagine. In addition to the possibility of switching to engineering mode, there are many more interesting features... Let's list some of them:
- Currency Converter. Allows you to quickly view the amount in another (selected by you) currency. Currency rate data is updated via the Internet;
- Mortgage. Allows you to find out the amount of the monthly loan payment by entering the amount, term, etc. lending conditions;
- translation of various mathematical and other values.

To select a display additional functions in the calculator, you must click on the icon in the upper right corner.

Will be displayed with a selection of additional options.

BLINDS OF NOTIFICATIONS AND SWITCHES

The notification shade has changed with the arrival of MIUI 9. Now the swipe down opens only part of the switches and notifications. To display all the switches, you need to make another downward swipe. If someone "does not like this innovation", in "Settings" it is possible to configure the display of the curtain, as it was implemented in MIUI 8. In the "Notification and status bar" section, by selecting the "Notifications and switches" item, you can choose from two display options: "Combine" - MIUI 9 or "Divide" - MIUI 8.

Also in this section you can configure the following functions:
- Enable notification filter;
- Select applications from which notifications will come;
- Adjust the position of the switches in the blind;
- And much more.

Most of the switches in the blind are active... Those. if you press and hold on it, you will go to its settings, for example: "Wi-Fi", "GPS", "Internet" and many others.

Curtain notifications can be quickly deleted (swipe to the right). Mark as "Unimportant" (swipe left). In this case, you will not receive notifications from this program. Also, some applications have the function of displaying a message in the curtain or displaying additional options, such as: "Reply" "Forward", "Call", etc. To display additional options you need to swipe down on the message with two fingers.

AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS IN THE SECTION "ABOUT TELEPHONE"

And finally, we have reserved two, perhaps, the most interesting features of the MIUI shell, which are not in the shells of other manufacturers.

APP CLONING

This function allows you to create a copy of any application, while it will work with your own settings... For example, you have two accounts of a messenger ("WhatsApp", "Telegram", "Viber", etc.). One account is personal, the other is work. Previously, in order to use multiple accounts on one smartphone, you had to log out of one account and enter the second, while each time entering credentials (login, password). It is very inconvenient and takes a lot of time, moreover, you could not use both accounts at the same time. The "Clone Applications" feature gives you this opportunity. To do this, go to "Settings" - "Clone applications" and select those applications for which you want to create a clone.

For example, let's create a clone of the Telegram program.

Agree with cloning Google services(if such a request appears). After that, a second shortcut for "Telegram" will be created.

As we can see, the application shortcuts are different so as not to be confused in the future. The cloned app has a yellow icon in the lower left corner. We launch the clone.

The application invites us to set up an account. Enter your data. We now have two accounts in the Telegram program. In order to create a clone for another application, follow the same procedure. To uninstall - just uncheck the box in the "Clone applications" section opposite the selected application, after that the clone will be deleted.

SECOND SPACE

This function allows you to set up two independent spaces on one smartphone. Thanks to this, we can have two smartphones in one (virtual of course). For example, you can set up one space for work and another for home (or as a "Guest" mode). Each space has its own settings. Also, it is possible to install different applications... To create a second space, go to the Second Space section in Settings and click Create Second Space.

In the next window we will see the inscription "Space has been created" - click "Continue". Now we will be asked to set a password for the second space, at this stage you can click "Skip" (later you can add a password in the settings, if required). Next, you will be prompted to install a fingerprint (if your device has a scanner). We skip it, as when setting a password. The setup is complete. In this window, leave all the items activated and click "OK". We received the second version of our system, which has standard settings as if we just installed it. The desktop differs only in the presence of additional shortcuts (marked in red in the screenshot) for:
- moving applications, photos, etc. between spaces (we will consider a little later);
- management of this space;
- transition to another space.

Also, a corresponding item will appear in the curtain for a quick transition to another space.

Moving data between spaces.

The "Application Settings" item allows you to configure the use of the selected application only in the first space, only in the second space, or in both at once.

The application can be downloaded and installed from Play Market(if not already installed in another space). To do this, you need to log into your account (accounts may be different).

Items import (export) photos, files, contacts - are used to transfer data between spaces.

When changing the space, you will need to enter a password or fingerprint, if the space to which you are moving has a password.

In the first space (after creating the second), a shortcut will also appear on the desktop and in the curtain.

To remove the second space, you need to click on the "Trash" in the upper right corner, in the "Second space" section.

In the next window, confirm the deletion.

And enter the password for the MI - account.

All the features listed in this article are available in the MIUI 8 and 9 shells (perhaps some of the functions were available in earlier firmwares). There are slight differences in their implementation, settings, display, etc. Some of them work only in a certain version of MIUI or Android version... Where necessary, we have pointed out the differences between MIUI 8 and MIUI 9.

We hope that after reading this article, you have learned more about the capabilities of this shell. Many of them can significantly simplify and speed up work with the device. Try to use the described opportunities in everyday life, we think that this will bring you only positive emotions.

Information for owners of smartphones of other brands. If you want to try out MIUI, you do not need to be the owner for this smartphone Xiaomi... The manufacturer produces its own shell for many brands of smartphones. You can see if there is a firmware for your smartphone, as well as download it, at the following links:

MIUI is a great system with great capabilities. She - yes, it was she - stood at the origins of the now great company Xiaomi. At the moment MIUI is one of, if not the most popular custom skin in the world, but like any great and flexible invention, like my moral standards, it can be difficult for a beginner. And in this collection I will try to clarify some points, from access to Root to widgets and folders.

How to root MIUI 8?

The file system of a smartphone is like some mega-corporation with a bunch of security clearance levels. 99% of employees are content with the usual level, but the remaining 1% have access to secret places (secret laboratories and other director's apartments) as needed. That is why I believe that the ability to gain root access in Android should always be.

Unfortunately, in MIUI, starting from the seventh version of the commercial, it became extremely difficult to obtain superuser access, even almost impossible. Before, after all, how - went into the settings, made three or four clicks, and the root is received! No additional APKs for you, no questionable sites and suggestions to increase the length of your stylus or your girlfriend's clipboard, everything is quiet, calm, "noise and dust."

In MIUI 7/8, due to the changed privacy policy, this gorgeous opportunity was removed, and the hole was plugged so tightly that even the usual methods of root can not be obtained. However, there are ways, and I will even talk about the most popular - but remember, you do this at your own peril and risk, neither the author nor the site is responsible for your actions.

In short, we get the root through the TWRP menu recovery (,) with an unlocked bootloader and a special Supersu archive. If these words do not seem to you to be rubbish, you are welcome. If successful, please unsubscribe in the comments.

How to add a widget in MIUI 8?

Widgets are important and powerful, the # 1 desktop customization tool. Seeing all the information you need by simply swiping left or right from the start screen is worth a lot!

And, as for me, the installation of the widget in the heroine of the article is one of the easiest. There are three ways to do this! Long press on the touch menu key (example above), pinch with two fingers and long press on free place on the desktop, they call the editing mode, where you can add widgets and more. However, the firmware from Xiaomi work with widgets is not as good as, say, in Simple Launcher, since there is no preview of these very widgets and their sizes.

How to create a folder in MIUI 8?

As they say, the admin has two pairs of parents - a dad with a mom and a motherboard with a folder in Windows. MIUI 8 also has folders - and they are created in two ways. First, you can pinch on an arbitrary icon on the desktop, and then drag it to the second icon so that a thin border appears around it. Release your finger - the folder is created!

Further - if you hold down the menu button and enter the mode where we created the widgets (see above), then tap on the icon - the mode will change to a kind of clipboard, and the icon will move to the slot below. To the right of it there will always be an opportunity to create a folder - this is the second way.

There are a few more tricks associated with icons. For example, if we have selected a dozen different ones, and we need to upload them into one folder, this can be done by alternately tapping on each ... or upload all together, no matter how many of them there are. To do this, hold down your finger for half a second on the area below where the icons are located, then swipe to the left or right - the icons from this will gather in a tight pack, and when you click on it, they will land in open folder together. You can return to editing mode with the same sideways swipe.

In general, this mode is enchantingly useful if you need to manage a dozen icons at once, packing them into the necessary folders. The names of the folders, by the way, change from above - open the folder, see its name on top, click on it and change it.

How to change the order of desktops in MIUI 8?

This question is more interesting - but in fact, it is solved simply. Instead of pinching with two fingers, pinch ... with three! This will open a menu for organizing desktops, where you can visually see each and move them in the order you want.

In the same place, by the way, you can add and remove desktops. This is a great addition to the capabilities of the mini-manager, and I recommend using only it - it saves both time and nerves.

How to transfer programs to a memory card in MIUI 8?

Another painful topic, like spring for allergy sufferers. Smartphones, especially budget ones, are rarely equipped with volume internal memory more than 16 GB (of which it is good if 10 gigabytes are available). And some particularly impudent applications, especially branded from large corporations (Word, do not hide your bashful eyes!), Can eat up to 200-300 megabytes without taking into account additional data. The memory card, ideally, should solve the problem - just move installed program there, as in Windows, or select the installation path. In the advanced firmware from Xiaomi, especially in the eighth version - such support, of course, should be, right?

No. MIUI 8 like previous versions, DOES NOT support transferring programs to a memory card. The reasons were found on the MIUI forum during the writing of the article - the programs installed on the memory card can slow down the loading of the smartphone, lead to unstable operation and significantly increase energy consumption.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is a modern “smart” bracelet that can count steps, calories, distance traveled, as well as record the heart rate of its owner. For those who have just bought or are going to buy this gadget, it will be useful to know what it is capable of and how it all works.

What's in the box?

Switching between screens is carried out by pressing the touch key located under the display.

The information on the screen alternates in the following order:

• current time;
• number of steps taken;
• distance traveled;
• the number of calories burned;
• pulse;
• remaining battery charge.

In order for the information to begin to be displayed on the display, you must do the following:

Registering Mi account

Installing the Mi Fit application

The Mi Fit application allows you to fully interact with the “smart” bracelet Mi Band 2. To connect it, you can use not only Android devices, but also Apple products with some restrictions:

• operating room Android system 4.3 or higher with the presence of a Bluetooth 4.0 module;
• operating system from iOS version 7.0 and the smartphone is no older than the iPhone 4S.

For Android smartphones, the application can be downloaded from Google play, download Mi Fit in Russian or install a modified version, and for iOS you need to find it in the AppStore app store.

When you start the program for the first time, you will need to log in using the previously registered Mi account and enter data about yourself:

• date of birth;
• height;
• daily goal (the desired number of steps taken per day).

This is necessary for more accurate calculations because the system calculates the distance traveled and calories burned based on the approximate stride width.

After entering personal data from the list of selected devices, select “Bracelet”.

Some problems may occur during the connection. In the event that Mi Fit does not see Mi Band 2, try to find a solution in these articles:

If everything went well, using a Bluetooth connection, the smartphone updates the Mi Band 2 firmware and the set system time appears on the tracker display, as well as the countdown of steps and other parameters.

If desired, the list of displayed information can be changed by going to the settings of the fitness bracelet.

Xiaomi Mi Fit

Since the Mi Fit application in Russian is installed by default, it will not be difficult to deal with it, but we will still consider the main features of the program.

The application consists of the main windows: status, notifications and profile.

In the upper left corner of the "Status" window there is a button that switches the device to the running mode.

Thanks to him, you can keep a constant record of your heart rate while jogging, fix the route, distance, calories burned, cadence, average pace and other parameters.

Status

The main indicators are displayed, including: sleep information, weight (set automatically or measured using the Xiaomi Mi Smart Scale), heart rate, as well as the results of reaching the daily goal. You can go into each of the indicators and study the statistics in more detail.

Sleep statistics allow you to find out how long it lasted and in what periods it was deep or light. The moments of awakening are also recorded. The application allows you to view daily data, as well as weekly and monthly.

The section with weight tracking will be of interest to those who want to lose weight or gain weight. If you do not have a “smart” scale that can sync with Mi Fit, you will have to periodically enter data manually.

As for measuring the heart rate, the Mi Band 2 heart rate monitor is able to work both in automatic mode (by pressing touch button by calling the corresponding menu item) or through the Mi Fit app. The difference is that when called through the application, the measurements will go to the base, and by pressing the tracker button, they will simply be displayed on the bracelet display.

Challenges

At this point, you can configure the notification of incoming calls and the display of the caller's name on the bracelet screen.

You can customize the display of the name or number of the sender.

Do not disturb

Setting the period during which vibration is not triggered.

The system is capable of itself tracking that you are sleeping and automatically turn off vibration.

Vibration alert in case of loss of connection with the smartphone.

When entering the Bluetooth range, the bracelet will automatically connect to the smartphone.

Unlocking the screen

The ability to unlock a smartphone without the need to enter a password or pattern if the bracelet is near the mobile device.

Allows other devices to see the bracelet.

Sync with Google Fit

Synchronization of data with a service from Google, which is designed to collect and store data about the user's physical activity.

Behavior labels

In this section, you can mark the periods of performing various physical exercises.

It is assumed that in this case the device learns and adapts to the rhythm of its owner's life.

Profile

This section is intended for setting goals, finding and adding friends, enabling activity and sleep notifications, as well as finding friends, setting up and functioning of the bracelet.

Here you can also untie the bracelet from your account or find it if you lost it among the things in the room.

Caveats
