According to Xiaomi’s CEO, it is a heavily modified Android and Vela (Xiaomi’s IoT OS based on the open source embedded OS Nuttx) to replace MIUI in all Xiaomi mobile, auto, and intelligent home products.
I hope It will still have easy openable bootloader, so I could sideload whatever rom I want.
i hope that miui eu devs will also jump to hyperos.
miui eu is so so much better than bloated global roms… and this is my go-to custom rom everytime i replace my Xiaomi smartphone.
I wonder how many highly paid marketing executives it took to come up with that name.
A 16 year old with a RGB-as-fuck PC could probably do that
I swear i’ve seen custom Android Roms with names similar back in the day lol
I’m trying to figure out how to pronounce Miui
From Spanish people I’ve heard it as “mee wee”, so that’s now my preferred pronunciation.
Me UI?
Me-ooey?
My-ooey?
Meow?
Like the words “me you I” i guess?
Lol typical corporation rebranding & probably with cosmetic change only.
i bet there are a few new chinese gov backdoors in it too…
Unfortunately it works. Consumers are dumb. The HBO show The Wire covered this, the drug dealers were losing customers because of low quality product. They rebranded so they could continue selling the same crap. This tactic works. Comcast did a real life version of this in the US, year after year they were rated as one of the worst ISPs, they rebranded as Xfinity and people seemed to stop complaining.
I don’t think they stopped complaining so much as they still called them comcast in their complaints.
Probably need even more tightly knit ads in the OS.
Just what phones need, an IoT OS. Those are renown for quality and security. /s
Hyper, hyper!
I bought a refurbished Xiaomi. Unfortunately no Lineage OS for it. Damn
Great hardware for the price though right ?
The price being your data.
