HyperOS 4 To With Launch Zero-Legacy Protocol

Xiaomi starts cleaning old code in HyperOS 3.1. It removes MIUI SDK from Weather and Gallery apps. It deletes all legacy code from MIUI 1 to HyperOS 3. The system gets rid of slow function calls and old dependencies. This creates a fresh operating system. It improves speed and reduces bugs.

Key features:

Flagship phones get small gains. Budget phones see big speed boosts. Xiaomi ends old code problems. It promises the most stable experience in Xiaomi history.
