Xiaomi, with the introduction of MIUI 12, brought a lot of cool features to their smartphone range. One of those features includes a new control center for the Xiaomi devices. Well, honestly, it looks like a complete rip-off of iOS’ control center that comes down if you swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen. Now, although it is exclusive to MIUI 12, there’s an app through which any Android device can get the MIUI 12 control center.

Now, I installed the app on a Nokia 7.2 running Android 10 Pie and I noticed that the control center works pretty well. The notifications panel, on the other hand, overlaps with the stock notification bar of Android. So, when I swiped down while the app running in the background, two notifications panels came down and the MIUI one overlapped the stock one.

  • First, go to the app.

  • In the home screen only you will see a blue and orange panel with the title “Status bar touch area“.

  • Just below this panel, there are two checklist buttons — Notifications and Controls.

This way, when you swipe down from the center, the stock notifications panel will come down and when you swipe down from the top-right corner, the MIUI control center will come down.

  • Open the “Control Center”.

  • Tap the edit button at the top right corner of the control center.

  • Just take your preferred button and drag it to the main list on the top to add it.

Apart from this, there are a lot of customization options like you can change the layout of the buttons in the control center, change the shape of the buttons and also manipulate the color of the active action buttons and texts.
