Hey all,

Now I know that most of these could be found on the miui forums but for the new guys/gals here you are

1. Long press on the icon in Toggles to launch the settings for that icon.
When you pull down the notification bar, you will see the Toggle settings for plenty of options (such as WIFI, volume, backlight etc). Long press on any icon in the Toggle mode will launch the setting for that icon.
2. Built-in Screen Capture function
One of the lacking feature in Android is the lack of a built-in screen capture feature (like in iPhone). Not anymore. With MIUI, you can press the “Menu” key and “Volume Down” key at the same time to capture a screenshot. The printed image is saved in the “MIUI: directory in the sd card.
3. Press Home key to preview screens
Pressing the Home button once will bring you back to the Home screen. Pressing the Home button button will show you all the screen thumbnails. You can also ad/remove screens from here.

If you need to add an IP prefix for a particular number in a strange land, you can set it in Settings -> Common -> Calls Settings. Turn the “Auto IP dialing” ON and set the IP prefix and current area code.

When you are not available to answer the phone, you may slide up the panel to reject the call and to send a message to the caller at the same time.

If your phone comes with a camera that support HD recording, you can enable 720P in the Video mode. Run the Camera app and switch to Video. Select “High” -> “720P” in the pop-up menu of video quality.

ive learnt .. actually i read abt miui from the site before installing eybees version ..
In every launcher if I long press the home button the Google search opens. Is there a way to open the Google VOICE search when I long press the home button?
Solution through App
There's an app called "Home Button Launcher" that lets you configure the "Home Button Swipe Up" gesture. In the app's options you can tell the app to directly execute an application or an action - it's called "Auto start mode" if only one single app selected.
I'm still not allowed to post outside links, so I can provide u an url directing to the app in the play store - sorry.
Hi,
I've been doing some research on Huawei phones and found some tips which I thought I would share. If you find these useful press the like button.
1. Phone Search and recently used apps - Swipe down on homescreen (starting from about halfway down the screen, not from the top or notification centre/quick settings will be displayed) and you will get a search box to search, Apps, Contacts, Browser History, Recent Apps
2. Lock recent apps - In the recents menu (square button in navigation bar) if you swipe down on the App it locks it so it won't be deleted from your recents (I'm testing this to see if it helps with notifications coming through).
3. Photo Focus and Exposure - Long press on the screen when in Camera App and you get two circles for seperate focus and exposure
4. Quick photo - When phone is locked, press volume down twice quickly and it will take a photo really quick
5. Split screen - Long press recents to open the split screen multi-tasker.
Button Light and Touch
An very small and simple utility to adjust the duration of the capactive button lights.
You can also remove this app from the app drawer once you install it.
Not the most original app, but it's 100% free and does one really important thing if you use my other app, Button Mapper. Assigning a long press action to the Recent Apps or Back button with Button Mapper will cause the capacitive button lights to stay off all the time. If you install this app, the light will work again.
Due to a convoluted development thing concerning target APIs of Android apps, I was not able to add this functionality directly to Button Mapper. I had to put it in a separate app.
So think of this as an add-on for Button Mapper. Or just use it to change the duration of the button lights and toggle button vibration.

Hi. I used "go to main screen voice command", but there is 3 sec delay with Blue blob at the top. Can I make Bixby button go directly to home screen without any delay and blobs? I used to use Bixby button remapper but i'm trying to use phone tools if I can.
