If you have a backup, see my post, then you can put this into the zip from geoorg and install it. With a rom update this launcher is history and you have to, install it again.

Geoorg was faster :)

The installer creates a backup of the original launcher during the installation process.

So flashing the uninstaller removes the modded version and reinstall the original

A ROM update will remove the mod
Simply flash the zip again to Install.

This is why i prefer root, with magisk, no need to reflash after ROM update

That option, hide apps option and app vault are added by the Xiaomi.eu devs...i think.

Nothing i can do about that
Same thing for the lag,...from what i see, the launcher is still a work in progress. All the different recents panel animations are not smooth.

Maybe some future version will fix all this

Tried this mod. Looks very nice. But...
  • the MiUi clock/weather widget on homescreen is invisible
  • the swipe left to Google feed isn't available

Hi together, now its working, I had installed another modded MiuiHome.apk to test if TWRP option copy/paste is working.

That was a newer version. I had to uninstall the updates (SystemLauncher) and now its working like a charme :)

Nice mod -> thx EslamLoka

PS: @geoorg: there is a possibility to shrink the photo after copy/paste :)

Hi Eslam,

there are two different topics. It will be a little bit longer description, I hope I have described it in much detail.

Example for topic one:

You have installed an app with the "version 1.0" and then you install an update from this app as example "version 2.0"
Then it is not very easy to install the same app with "version 1.5" -> because it will be a downgrade.

That happend to me as I have installed a new launcher for testing/describe the "TWRP options"
As I wanted to install your version, there was a message like "downgrade not possible / there is a newer version already".

For this challenge there are some workarounds as example:
  • use "customiuizer" and "allow downgrades"
  • go to: "settings/apps/manage apps/systemlauncher" and on the bottom delete updates
After I have deleted the updates, it was possible to install your MiLauncher -> in the example -> "version 1.5"

I think this is not what you need to use for testing the "TWRP options" so here we go with topic two...

Example for topic two:

Now you have installed with the TWRP-ZIP from geoorg your version from MILauncher (in the example "version 1.5")
  • there are no updates to delete to get the original version back - its a modded file
  • a small challenge, because you have already installed this version and you want to test the same version with "TWRP option"
  • you have to install the original version (in the example "version 1.0") which was delivered with the rom from xiaomi.eu
For testing the "TWRP option", there are two possibilities if you have used the ZIP-File from geoorg:
  1. geoorg made a backup: "/system/priv-app/MiuiHome/MiuiHome.apk.bak"
    • use twrp-filemanager and delete "/system/priv-app/MiuiHome/MiuiHome.apk"
    • rename "MiuiHome.apk.bak" to "MiuiHome.apk" and chmod to 0644 (now you have "version 1.0" installed
    • reboot and you have tested the "TWRP option" :)
    • for more testing you can install now your launcher with twrp-filemanger (as I have described)
  2. use the uninstall script from geoorg
    • this script does the steps for you which I have described in the topic 1.
    • it renames the backup "version 1.0" (moves the backup) to the original filename
    • reboot and you should now have the original Mi Launcher delivered by the xiaomi.eu
    • now you can test the "TWRP-option" with your launcher as I have described
Kind regards kater

@EslamLoka: Why do you want to test the "TWRP option" the script from geoorg does the same :)

Small challenge:
If you executed the script from geoorg more then once
the original file (version 1.0) will be gone, because the backup will be the modded MILauncher from you (version 1.5")
but no problem: you can extract the file by yourself from xiaomi.eu rom as I have described here

@geoorg: while backing up, put a timestamp at the end of the backup-filename as example (only a hint)

@geoorg Best way is a "install/uninstall" process in one zip:
Simply add a condition if "MiuiHome.apk.bak" file exists. If yes, then the script will start the uninstall process. (If no, then it will start the install process with backup).
;)

I'll look into this.
Beautiful suggestion :)

In german we are saying… das wäre das
i-tüpfelchen.

That means very great helpful script and with some additional lines… wonderful script :)

Especially the delete cache function, good idea!

Updated to work on a single file.
thanks to @Poney70 and @katerpanne for the helpful suggestions

Twrp flashable zip (installer and uninstaller)

Installer
TWRP_MIUI_Home_mod.zip

Uninstaller
TWRP_MIUI_Home_mod_uninstaller.zip

After flashing reboot.
Might take sometime as cache is rebuilt.
Be patient.

EDIT: no more need for a separate uninstaller file.
The mod takes care of the install, backup and restore on a single file.

You can never install the modded version with your current script, you need to replace line 69 and 70 by a simple "else". ;)

Also, you should add this info between line 68 and 69:
Code: 
    ui_print_always " "
    ui_print_always "To uninstall the MOD simply flash this zip again..."
    ui_print_always " "

EDIT: Better to use your $BACKUP variable in /tmp/home/busybox commands. :p

;)
