HyperOS 3 System Launcher Update Released: Version 6.01.031940 Brings Animation and Recents Fixes

Xiaomi has rolled out a new System Launcher update for devices running Xiaomi HyperOS 3, focusing on improving recent apps behavior, animations, and visual consistency across the system. This update is currently available for HyperOS 3.1 Beta users in the China region and can be installed manually via APK.

The System Launcher is a core component of HyperOS, responsible for home screen behavior, recent apps, gestures, and animations. Even small updates can significantly improve overall smoothness and stability, especially after major system upgrades.

HyperOS 3 System Launcher Update Details

Here are the key details of the latest release:

• App: System Launcher
• Version: 6.01.031940
• APK Size: 26.6 MB
• Target Devices: Only for OS3 mi14/mi15/mi17/k80/k90 series + Turbo4Pro
• Region: China
• Compatibility: Works on HyperOS 2.0 or above

Although labeled for HyperOS 3.1 Beta, the launcher is compatible with older HyperOS builds as well, making it useful for users facing launcher-related issues.

What’s New in This System Launcher Update

This update mainly focuses on fixing bugs and refining animations related to the Recent Apps (Recents) screen and multitasking behavior.

One of the major improvements is the optimization of the recent task window hierarchy display, which fixes layout issues that occurred in certain scenarios. This helps ensure that app cards are displayed correctly and consistently.

Xiaomi has also optimized the animation when launching apps from the Recents screen, particularly for users who use classic navigation keys instead of gesture navigation. This results in smoother and more natural transitions.

Several important bugs have been fixed in this update, including issues where recent task cards filled abnormally in vertical layout mode, as well as cases where recent tasks would start or exit abnormally in certain scenes.

Another noticeable improvement is the fix for abnormal animations when opening the Recents screen, which some users experienced after recent HyperOS updates.

Lastly, Xiaomi has optimized the background adaptation of small window cards in dark mode, improving visual consistency and reducing contrast issues when multitasking in low-light conditions.
