The official announcement of MIUI 12 is scheduled for April 27
Xiaomi will introduce a new branded shell only next week, but one of the features is already available to users of Redmi and Xiaomi smartphones with MIUI 11 installed.
The fun active MIUI 12 lock screen is already available on Redmi and Xiaomi smartphones with MIUI 11. How to activate
We are talking about new styles of the “always-on” screen Always on Display with a lot of customization options that Xiaomi recently talked about, fostering user interest in the upcoming announcement of MIUI 12.
As it turned out, in the new version of MIUI Themes (Themes) and MIUI Always-on display, a new function became available without waiting for the release of MIUI 12. To test it, the Redmi and Xiaomi smartphone must use the OLED screen, it also requires the Android 9 Pie operating system or Android 10.
Note that for Chinese users, Xiaomi quite officially offers to test the new feature. In other regions, you can install the latest versions of MIUI Themes 1.7.6.0 and MIUI Always-on display 1.19.387 by downloading the APK files from the link at the end of the news.
However, you can do this only at your own peril and risk, on some smartphones they may not be installed. So, the Indian version of Redmi K20 Pro does not allow installing MIUI Themes 1.7.6.0, and without it, new styles do not work, even with the new version of MIUI Always-on display. Also, the trick may not work on MIUI firmware in certain regions.
After installation, you will need to go to MIUI Themes, go to the “always-on” section of the Always-on Display screen, download new themes, and you can choose from more than a thousand options. In addition, after installing the theme, you will need to activate the “active screen” item in the general settings of the active screen and the lock tap.
The official announcement of MIUI 12 is scheduled for April 27th.
