MIUI (which stands for MI User Interface and pronounced "Me You I"[citation needed], a play on the common abbreviation of the words user interface as UI) is a stock ROM developed by Xiaomi for Xiaomi smartphones, it has also been ported to many non-Xiaomi devices, MIUI features a heavily-modified user interface that does away with the Android app drawer and has drawn comparisons with Apple's iOS.[citation needed] It includes additional functionality not found in stock Android, including toggles on the notification pull-down, new music, gallery, and camera apps, and an altered phone dialer that displays matching contacts as a user enters a number.[citation needed] MIUI was replaced by HyperOS[1]
Development[]
MIUI is based on Android 2.3.7 and CyanogenMod 7.1 sources, and was initially developed in the Chinese language by Chinese startup Xiaomi. Xiaomi added a number of apps to enhance the basic framework; those include MITalk (a Blackberry Messenger clone), MINotes, MIBackup, MIMusic, and MIGallery.[citation needed]
Updates[]
Updates are usually provided over-the-air every Friday.[citation needed] MIUI is then translated and ported in unofficial versions to other languages by independent developers. The list of model and firmware of Xiaomi can be found at an 3rd website Xiaomi Firmware
