So navigation gestures don't work with third party launchers in MIUI 12.5 and you can't change lock screen wallpaper without reverting to stock lock screen.

Smh

You are welcome.

Remember to download with a download manager like IDM+

Then follow the steps below to update.

How to manually update..

Go to Settings > About phone > System update.

If tapping the 3-dot button shows the “Choose update package” option, click on that and choose the downloaded ROM from your internal storage or SD card. In case you don’t find the “Choose update package” option from the 3-dot menu, tap on the MIUI 11/12 logo inside the “System update” page several times. A prompt will then show that additional updater settings are now available. Now you can tap on Choose update package and select the MIUI 11/12 update file

That’s it. The system will start decrypting the file and install it automatically for you. Wait for it to finish the process, which may take 10-30 mins

Data should be on during the decryption process

My OnePlus 7 pro's gestures work perfectly with third party launchers and it's running on Android 11.

But that aside, what about the lock screen thing?

On Xiaomi the issue started when they upgraded phones to Android 11 even those based on MIUI 11. It is like their gestures system and the native gesture system is clashing, just my thoughts though.

You Oneplus Oxygen is closer to stock than MIUI
Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by peteregwu(m): 2:38pm On Nov 17, 2021
Omo, I ordered 2 charger from aliexpress and I used my house address, actually I just tried it like that to see if they would send it my house address, it worked. I just received a call from Speedaf that I have a package and I told them I was at home, just in 3 hrs after the call, the guy landed in my house with my package.

I am happy for this. I have to try it with small package to know if it would work. The guy just gave me my package and never requested for any money. But I just decided to give the N200 to use it and buy recharge card.

Compared to when I used to make use of my post office address, many of of my package no they reach me ooo.. But I do get a refund when I complain. You see Nigerian post office ehh.. Don't trust them.

Re: The Xiaomi Thread. by jboixxx: 3:24pm On Nov 17, 2021
What's happening here? Geniugs43 scammed someone? That guy should go back and do his checks well o. Genius can do everything for you on this forum but never to purchase on behalf of someone.

We've been saying it here that, always do your due diligence before you enter into any deal.

Enough said.

If you use your house address, they'll send it to the post office closest to you and then somebody from there will bring it to your house (usually for a token).

The delivery times differ depending on which delivery option you used. For example if you use AliExpress standard delivery you'll get it in less than 2 weeks from an AliExpress delivery person direct

Well, from my experience in the last 2 months. Aliexpress delivers to Nigeria via speedaf and it does not matter if you used paid delivery or unpaid, tracked or untracked. Your parcel will be delivered to you as you'd be called by the dispatch person before the delivery date to confirm your availability . They've actually stopped using nipost from what I've noticed. If you used an unregistered delivery method for instance cainiao super economy global which is meant to be untracked, you will still be able to track to your doorstep on speedaf dot com website.

It's not actually because of your house address. It's because you were lucky that the seller shipped using speedaf. If he shipped with another method, na post office you for go.

Are you based in lagos? Cos 2 weeks is quite swift
