When doing the manual way and rebooting my phone, the system launcher is stuck on "Just a sec..." infinitely.
I am on a Mi 9T Pro and tried it both on the latest weekly build and the latest stable build, same result both times.

Edit: I am on Orangefox recovery.

I did this adb procedure:

-> Launcher: MIUI System Launcher ALPHA-4.17.0.1668-04031837 from this link (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/xiaom...-launcher-alpha-4-17-0-1668-04031837-release/)
-> Unsing minimal_adb_fastboot v1.4 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)
-> Windows 10

1° - Go to developer settings and enable "Developer Options", "USB Debugging" and "Install via USB"



2° - Connect your phone over USB cable

3° - If you are using Minimal_adb_fastboot, just click on "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" icon.

If you are using another adb go to adb folder on your PC, hold shift and do a right click on any blank space and select "open a cmd over here" (this message could be different, like "cmd", "command window", "Power Shell")



4° - Type adb devices

A popup message on your device will apear asking permission, you will click on grant
after this type again adb devices to see if your device id appear like this:



5° - finally type "adb install ", go to your downloaded apk and drag it to cmd window. If you are stucked on any problem, put " after and before a location of your apk, ex:
adb install c:\User\Danilo\Desktop\MiuiLauncher.apk -> adb install "c:\User\Danilo\Desktop\MiuiLauncher.apk"



If you have a "Success" message on adb window its finnaly done, but if you have another problem, ask over here

I flashed the zip file on RN8 and nothing changed at all.
The launcher is working, but I didn't get the new animation

I did have the same issue. The zip are not succesfuly flashed, you can see about it on #21 comment of this post.
Try manual adb install described on #30 comment.

Hi .. I have updated the mount routine ... can you test it please ?

MiuiLauncher_V0.1.zip

drive.google.com

And please can you check if you have enabled in TWRP "mount system as read only" ?

- start TWRP
- Mount
- check if "Mount system partition read only" is enabled - it should not

Thank you and have a nice day

Sur SAI, vous irez dans: Paramètres (une icône d'engrenage sur le côté inférieur droit) -> installateur (une icône de hashtag) et vous sélectionnerez "enraciné (nécessite la racine)".
Obs: you did installed a magisk only to get a root access. I chose this method because its a simple to install and revert if you need.

4º You will click on installer option on SAI (its a "Y" arrow on bottom) and you will select "install APKs". Go to Miui LAuncher file that you have downloaded. After you select a properly apk, SAI will ask for root access, you will grant and a app will be installed.

Hello, SAI not work for me, il do select MIUI optimisation in developper mode but this option is not in. And when i select "installer and i will select "rooted (requires root)". i have "
error : unable to get root access"

The katerpanne method works but I would like to use SAI. How did you get root rights?

 

[danilomazzaro]

You can use magisk. I described on #23 comment how you can install a new launcher over magisk root and SAI.
PS: the fastest and sample way is a adb install. It's described too on this thread.

Hi.
I did as you said, still the same results.
The launcher was replaced, but nothing else changeed.

 

[danilomazzaro]

Hi.

Try the adb install method described on #30.
About the zip, probably your system is mounted read only on TWRP.

I checked it.
It's not mounted as read only.

Hi can you post the logfile… twrp - advanced - copy logfile

Are you sure that the launcher is replaced? The challenge is to mount the filesystem. On mi9 it is system_root on other it is system… and I think if you ennable in twrp system as read only, the launcher cant be replaced

@Henry & dani do you have the same phones?

I am sure, checking the file itself and the logs.
And yes it is system_root for me.
I have Resmi note8

 

[danilomazzaro]

Lets check and try a few things:
After do a adb procedure and get a success message
Go to "settings->Apps->Manage Apps->System Launcher"
Check if you have the latest version (4.17.0.1668...)

If you dont have the latest version, try to do the adb install with this version.
2° If are all ok with your version, go to "Settings-> Additional Settings-> Full Screen display" and check if you have the option "hide full screen indicator", if you have, disable-it and new gestures it will begin to work

Yes and no, let me explain. I have one MI9T pro but my brother have one Redmi Note 8. Some tests on a week ago I did on both. This last zip I did only on my Mi9T

Thanks for the instructions. After checking the version, it is indeed 4.17.0...
I went to additional settings -> full screen display, and I couldn't find "hide full screen indicator"

 

[Henry Markel]

I guess it only works with miui Android 10..

 

[katerpanne]

I guess it only works with miui Android 10..

Oh yes

 

[Adavius]

Oh yes

I can't get it to work on Android 10 either. Tried every method and nothing changed. I get success in adb but I'm stuck with the old launcher.

What is your Miui eu Version?

 

[heiko.grosse]

I tried installing it. Did it manual with a good explorer. Changed also permission. After reboot it keeps crashing on latest beta rom 20.3.27 on my mi 9t pro. Any suggestion?
