These are miui shenanigans. You can disable chrome in settings and set different browsers as default on most other Roms like oneui, stock android, realmeui, etc. Last time I used miui, I decided never again.

You can read the threaded version of the tweets here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

They said PWA. Chrome and Chrome like browsers can install pwa as native apps, aka webapks on your android. Firefox can only add a shortcut where sites can run full screen.

The relevant part which was skipped unless you check the article

Plus some upgrade discounts, but both policies will only apply to customers in India.

I guess they used the auto suggest title feature where even the original article does not mention it. It’s mentioned in the subheading.

If you are upgrading from that option. Go for it. It shouldn’t be a problem.

My older redmi has this issue where once a accessibility service was killed, it had to be disabled and enabled with the 10s mandatory wait because xiaomi. Miui also disables a bunch of APIs like 3rd party apps cannot change the wallpaper or the running services option present in most ROMs. This isn’t to ignore the aggressive app killing behavior of miui. Overall, my experience wasn’t great. Oneui is a much better and more stable experience, IMO.

Gestures were broken in android 11, but Google had released a fix, so they worked with 3rd party launchers. Xioami, for some reason, hasn’t applied that fix, so it’s still broken in miui. Other roms do not have this issue.

He must be talking about glance on samsung.

On the latest miui, you can not use gestures. Only button navigation

This isn’t the default for others. In OneUI, for example, you can use a combination of both, even with 3rd party launchers. One-handed mode+, for example, is awesome for gestures.

I will link my comment, which I had written for another person before. Sync for lemmy is currently in beta, so some things may be broken. But, most of it is still true. https://lemmy.ml/comment/834817

That €20 is for remove ads. Update the app and check the sidebar

Here’s the URL to the dev’s privacy policy as listed on the Play Store. It should give a better idea of what he actually does: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/28463889

That’s for lifetime ultra. Check the sidebar for remove ads option. Should be $24

Last I knew fdroid didn’t support shizuku. Unless, you talk about 3rd party fdroid clients like droidify and neostore, etc. Also, unless xiaomi borked the adb perms(I’m sure they did like they do for accessibility service apps) shizuku can work with wireless adb.

You forget one. Dynamic theme. The launcher changes theme colors based on wallpaper color.

Check launcher settings. It should have a setting called remember last position or something, disable that.

It would still still prompt that pop-up. That was the case when I had one on android 10. It’s a miui thing unless it gets bypassed for this android API.

There’s a setting to disable scanning of installing apps. Disable it from security app. Also, don’t debloat the security app it will break things for you.
