Or we like to manipulate the data we install and download. Appreciate your opinion but I personally find it invalid.

Maybe you should give the tablet back to mommy and daddy. Play time is over!
my comment was a bit confusing, one thing is a very useful application, and another thing that I consider a top application, I use daily applications like astro or root explorer or battery saver, but this is why no android gives me a native application to do, and I do not think an application that serves to complement android should be on these lists, only that, I thought the list was more for the "normal" use of the tablet (not power user )
I still apreciate your opinion, I just disagreed with it. I felt the poster was looking for good honest thoughts and those 5 popped into my head. I use them daily if not hourly. Didn't mean to "attack" but to "educate". I am no "power user" just a user. I think this is why we all come here, commradery and differing opinions on something we all love. Thanks for the clarification on your opinion.

And i know apps are easy to find, and blah blah blah, but developers dont get paid unless you buy their app.
If you read that and said to your self, yea whatever, you must be a kid who still has to answer to your parents. Or just an ignorant adult.
Without the developers, our phones would suck. Period. So pay for your APPS! :highfive:

I think we're not allowed to share links. Are we? But you can find it in other app markets like blackmart
Coming from my Nexus 6 (and Android Nougat), I can download apps to my Nexus 6 and:
1) Keep them in my apps icon / list
2) Keep them off of my Desktop, but still accessible on my phone through the app icon / list.
How do I do the same with the Xiaomi Mi Mix?
I am on the Chinese version of the September build, and to my surprise the Google Play Store was included in the build (I thought it was not incorporated in those builds).
After I installed by sim, and started by phone, I had forced all my google play store apps to transfer to my new Mi Mix. What I do not understand, is that all the app installed on the desktop (very cluttered).
Is there not a way to have them look and feel like all north american versions of the android smart phones ? ? ?
Where the apps download and install to the smart phone, but do not necessarily remain on the desktop home screens?
Cheers

MIUI is like iOS.
No app drawer and all installed apps on the screen. I have placed the MIUI apps I don't want into a folder and moved them onto a page I never access. You could also install Nova Launcher or something like it which lets you use a more conventional launcher.appearance.
Once rooted you can freeze apps or disable them.

Amen to that brother, that was my original choice (to create a single folder and throw all the apps in there). Question, does it organize them for you in an alphabetical order?
I was afraid of that. I thought the method used by most of the Android like operating systems from the days of lollipop - - - nougat, did a bang on job of app organizing. My last iOS was the original iPhone 2g, and later the iPhone 4.
Personally, Xiaomi missed the boat with that (MIUI / iOS)
1.Is there any way to modify the fingerprint long press shortcuts?? The provided ones - qr scanner, calender and search - I never use these.
2. If that is not possible, is there any way to atleast change the search to chrome search instead of MI Browser search?
(Note: My default browser is chrome and it still leads to mi browser. I tried uninstalling MI browser and it takes me to play store - item not found page)

I want to know this too. Last I read somewhere, the option to customize it was planned to be provided in some update. But I guess, we don't have it yet.
I have removed most of the Mi apps via adb. So, I get the item not found page for all shortcut items

I think it would be possible if there was some app that could redirect activities - like for example 'if com.mibrowser.search opens open Google search instead' I don't know if it is possible but I'm just guessing based on the 'assistant shortcut app'.

I have the same problem... I mean in the end it's just a link to an apk. You could probably change that to another apk somewhere in the root files. But I don't know where you would look for that...
I’m thinking about ordering a Vivo X Fold and just had a few questions about the OS.
1. How are the notifications? Are they received normally or would I need to fiddle with the settings to get them right?
2. Can I use the Google Messages app or do I need to use Vivo’s stock messaging app? I tried the Oppo Find N and they force us to use their stock app. So, I returned the phone.
3. Google Pay? Does it work properly?
4. The launcher, would I be able to change it?
5. Smartwatches. Would I be able to use a WearOS or Galaxy Watch on it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Basing on previous devices (Vivo X70 pro plus) :
1) Notification: you have to set applications rights correctly as Chinese devices usually kill apps to save battery
2) Google message no problem
3) Google Pay works
4) You can change the launcher but you have to create a Vivo account
5) WearOs works if you install it from Vivo account Store, the one from Google Play Store doesn't work. Google Pay from the watch doesn't work.
Thinks that don't work:
- Android Auto
- Google backup
- OK Google voice activation
- Maps location history

Does anyone know why the Play version doesn't work on Chinese ROM is it missing an Android component that allows it to run?

No clue and even if you could know it's not possible as you can't get root access. If you buy a device sold in the Chinese market you should accept some compromise
