You don’t need to buy a new Xiaomi phone to get that clean, modern HyperOS 2 experience. If you’ve ever scrolled through videos or screenshots of Xiaomi’s sleek new interface and wondered, “Can I get that on my phone?”, the answer is surprisingly yes.
Thanks to the modding community, many of the apps from Xiaomi’s HyperOS 2 are now available as standalone APKs. And they’re not just lookalikes these are real, extracted apps from Xiaomi’s latest OS. All you have to do is install them like any normal app, and suddenly your phone starts to feel… different lighter, smoother, a bit more polished.
Maybe it’s how the Weather app animates the clouds with a soft fade. Or how the Notes app just feels cleaner and more focused. Maybe it’s the new Clock, or the revamped Launcher that makes your home screen feel a little more like the future. Bit by bit, these apps start replacing your usual setup, and before you know it you’ve got a taste of HyperOS, running on hardware it was never officially designed for.
But here’s the thing: results can vary. Since these apps were built with Xiaomi’s ecosystem in mind, they’re not guaranteed to run perfectly on every device. Some apps might crash. Others might miss features. It’s very much a “try it and see” kind of situation. And honestly, that’s part of the fun experimenting, tweaking, seeing what works best on your phone.
If you’re someone who enjoys customizing your phone, or just wants to freshen things up without diving into full ROMs or custom recoveries, this is probably one of the easiest ways to do it. No need to root your phone or unlock the bootloader. Just download the apps, install them, and you’re good to go.
Want to give it a try? Here are a few trusted sources where you can grab the latest versions of these HyperOS apps:
🔗 Gallery and Editor
🔗 Xiaomi Notes, Calendar, and Weather (Latest Port)
🔗 Clock, Recorder, and Compass HyperOS Versions
🔗 Superwallpapers
🔗 Compass and clock
Each of these collections has been tested on various devices, but again no promises. What works great on one phone might not launch at all on another. Still, the fact that you can transform the feel of your phone without even touching a custom ROM? That’s pretty amazing.
So if you’ve been curious about HyperOS but didn’t want to commit to a full software change, this is your low-risk way to dip your toes in. And who knows you might end up liking it so much that your next phone really is a Xiaomi.
Go ahead, give your phone a makeover. HyperOS-style.
