Firmware is the software that allows your device to work and function. Without firmware, many modern phones will not work. For example, on Xiaomi smartphones, it is MIUI. On Huawei and Honor – EMUI. And on Samsung – One UI.
If you look closely at the names of the shells, you will notice that each contains the abbreviation UI. This translates to “user interface”. It turns out that the firmware is responsible for the settings items, available functions, different modes, and, of course, the interface design. Pure Android lacks some of the options that are in the MIUI firmware. The presence of the shell makes it easier and more comfortable to use the smartphone.
Portāls šādi noteikumi are closely intertwined with the concept of “firmware” on the Xiaomi phone:
- MIUI versija – the number of the firmware, which changes after the release of the next update. You can find out the current version of the shell on your Xiaomi smartphone in the settings, namely in the “My device” or “About phone” sections.
- Iknedēļas programmaparatūra izstrādātāji atjaunina katru nedēļu. Šī programmaparatūra galvenokārt tika izveidota, lai pārbaudītu un testētu jaunas funkcijas un pakalpojumus. Xiaomi cieši sazinās ar lietotājiem, uzklausa atklātās kļūdas un pēc tam tās novērš nākamajā iknedēļas atjauninājumā.
- Stabila programmaparatūra ir apvalks, kurā kļūdu vai kļūdu risks ir samazināts līdz minimumam. Tā ir stabila un ātra, un atjauninājumi tiek izdoti pēc tam, kad visas jaunās funkcijas ir rūpīgi pārbaudītas. Šajā programmaparatūras versijā var trūkt funkciju, kas jau parādījušās iknedēļas atjauninājumā. Galvenā atšķirība starp stabilu un iknedēļas programmaparatūru ir veiktspējas vienveidība. Stabila ROM darbosies nevainojami, savukārt izstrādātāja ROM var būt dažādi trūkumi.
- Lokalizēta programmaparatūra paredzēti lietošanai konkrētā reģionā. Kad iegādājaties tālruni AliExpress, varat redzēt dažāda veida korpusus: Global ROM un China ROM. Tātad otrā programmaparatūra ir paredzēta lietošanai Ķīnā. Tajā var vienkārši trūkt dažu pakalpojumu, un Google Pay var nedarboties.
- Pielāgota programmaparatūra is created by third-party developers. Most often, some weekly firmware is taken, and the services and programs that are not needed for a particular country are removed. This results in unofficial firmware, perfectly optimized for users’ requirements. Custom firmware is closely related to the localized because the development of a shell for a particular region is not engaged in India or China, where the office of Xiaomi is located.
- Vjetnamiešu programmaparatūra is a shell created by third-party developers. It should not be confused with the custom one because everything is more user-friendly in the second case. In the Vietnamese (or “homemade”) firmware, there are many bugs, glitches, and errors in the translation of the interface. However, there are some rather high-quality developments, but they are too few. These shells can’t be updated via the standard system, so you must look for workarounds. If you purchased the phone with Vietnamese firmware, contact the store and ask to replace the low-quality device.
