For Android 14 and beyond, future builds will stick to Pixel Launcher and Google Wallpapers prebuilt.
As much as we love providing customizable stuff, stability is the main focus as well as Pixel exclusives. Since AI wallpapers and Emoji walls are pretty much broken using AOSP ThemePicker, as well the Quarterly platform releases (QPR) requiring a extensive rebase to Launcher3 each time, we would rather stick to Google's prebuilt apps that are stable and usually updated with each Pixel dump.

In Android 14 QPR2 Beta 1, I enabled a flag that let you remove the At a Glance widget entirely, but there was another interesting flag called
In Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2, I've enabled this flag, which lets you move the At a Glance widget around on screen and even rearrange it if you want!
Sadly, even with this flag enabled, you still cannot add the At a Glance widget to third-party launchers like Nova Launcher. This is because At a Glance isn't actually a widget under-the-hood, it's a "custom element behaving like a widget." (Thanks to Kieron Quinn for digging into this.)

Seems Google has killed the Mi 4i fingerprint spoof (for Play API) as well. We'll be finding a replacement and posting an updated Pif APK.

Updated Pif APK. Just install normally. Will only work on builds with the necessary changes for Pif support. May require a clear data of the Play Store and Google Pay/Wallet apps. Reboot if necessary.
Several features have been re-integrated into the latest Evo X source (December QPR1).
- Quick Tap actions
- Extreme Battery saver
- Status bar brightness control
You will definitely see them again included in our upcoming updates.

Bootloader unlocking in HyperOS will require gaining permission from the Xiaomi Community forums. LOL
"The unlocking rules are as follows:
- For regular users, it is highly recommended to leave the bootloader locked (default state) and not unlock it.
- For enthusiasts who wish to customize their phones and are fully aware of the risks associated with unlocking devices, you can apply for unlocking permission through the Xiaomi Community. Please stay tuned for the application portal on the Xiaomi Community, which will be accessible on the App soon, and the application rules will be based on the application page.
- Previous operating systems, such as MIUI 14, still retain the ability to unlock. Users will no longer receive Xiaomi HyperOS updates if they leave their devices unlocked. To receive the Xiaomi HyperOS updates, please get in touch with after-sales service.
The device upgrade sequence of Xiaomi HyperOS depends on the comprehensive product development process; please bear with us and wait for the device upgrade."

Our advice for the near future amidst all this HyperOS/Play Integrity fiasco, buy an affordable 2nd Android device as a backup. Whether Realme/OPPO/Xiaomi/Redmi/POCO/Iqoo/Gionee/etc and keep it locked.
Keep all banks and work related apps there. Use custom on your main device and keep all play integrity requiring apps on the other device. Just make sure it'll keep being updated by the OEM for a few years and is at least on Android 13.

A few more features have been brought back to our latest source.
- OOS style clear all button
- QS header images
- Alert Slider (OnePlus devices)

I've made it a focus to bring these back once QPR1 is in a stable condition.
