I'm not asking how to get a drawer alternative way; only asking if its present in MIUI, natively in phone system

No
There is no native app drawer in MIUI, as of now.

android 10 - gesture

Hi, I updated my note 9 to android 10. When I go to settings/display/navigation bar/screen gestures there is option over the "more options". I can't use this feature. I can't open it. Does anyone have the some issue?
What launcher are you using? Unless it is Samsung own it will not be enabled. Until Google resolves it
Using the default OneUI 2
If u are using samsung default one ui launcher, you should able to use this gesture navigation... unless you use 3rd party launcher.
Maybe Try selecting "navigation buttons" and see if the other options under gestures become available?

Help! I install Android Auto but I can't find the app on home screen

Hi everyone,
I've been install AA on my mi 8 device, but I can't find the app icon on home screen and there is no option to open app on play store (the option just Uninstall). I'm running on Android 10 with MIUI 11. Please tell me how can I open the app. Many thanks for everyone who answer.

This is system app and is hidden. Use activity launcher app to add shortcut.

Question Double Tap to screen off on launcher?

Seems like that the functionality in the settings menu is only working from lockcreen and not on launcher...
Is there a way (preferably with the stock launcher) to do it? many apps break the lock screen/fingerprint...
I'am on miui 12 global, all stock: got the phone yesterday from offiial MI store Italy...
I assigned a long press on the Home button to turn off the screen.
Search settings for assignable button functions.
Vai in Impostazioni Aggiuntive - Collegamento tasti.

Here on the Mi Note 10 (I'm waiting for my Mi 11 Ultra to arrive) it doesn't work either (for after the last update). And gestures also don’t work on other launchers (only in stock).
I simply have a widget on the home that locks the screen when pressed. Look in the widgets, you'll find it. Not the best solution but it works.
When you get to 12.5.4/5/6 the double tap to lock screen works flawlessly
Not working for me in 12.5.6
Download Poco launcher. It has double tap to lock screen option in settings:
POCO Launcher 2.0 - Customize, - Apps on Google Play

Xiaomi decided to implement full gestures only in stock launcher not in system UI and not in poco launcher within Android 11
Workarounds:
Install from GooglePlayStore:
Infinity Gestures
Fluid Navigation Gestures
Use CustoMIUIzer
Laucher -> Gestures -> there you have a lot of options

I heard about that, but for once I wanted to stay with stock launcher, annoyed too much in the past with nova launcher on NOT rooted phones ( on root phone was great )

I managed to "solve" for the moment this way, will wait and hope to fix this in the next release...

My Fluid Navigation gestures app dies after a while.
As in the gestures stop working (After a few minutes, or after a reboot), so had to switch to Edge Gestures.
Had Autostart enabled, Battery features disabled etc..
But didnt help. Is there anything additional that you did ?
Double tap works fine for Mi 11 Pro on 12.5.7 (same firmware) did not know it was available until I went through the settings again.

Weird I couldn't get it to work, I was double tapping on an empty space in home screen and it never worked except the lock screen.

It had stopped here once, then I put it in the control center (status bar), left it without the battery saving restriction and activated the automatic start. After that it hasn't stopped yet.

Lock app in Recents disappeared on Redmi 9

After a few updates, I've noticed the Lock app feature, which allows you to never stop an application from working in the background, on my Redmi 9 disappeared completely. How do I bring it back? The Miui version is Miui 12.5.3.

I dont think you'll find a solution, on my 9a i bringed it back by using root & Lposed, with custoMIUIzer on 12.0.19 (Dont know if it'll work on your version)
Also, if you cant make it work, you can manually enable this option, just enter settings on the Security app and then on "Boost Speed", there you'll find a "Lock Apps", its exactly the same thing
