MiUI 5 vs MiUI 6

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Xiaomi's MIUI 6 vs MIUI 5: Everything you wanted to know</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> <img class="storyimg_mar10" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories/collage_650_021615114734.jpg" width="660" /></span></span><div style="position: fixed;"><div id="new_selection_block0.014796314651774778" style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><br />Read more at: <a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/technology/story/xiaomis-miui-6-vs-miui-5-everything-you-wanted-to-know/1/419130.html" target="_blank_">http://indiatoday.intoday.in/technology/story/xiaomis-miui-6-vs-miui-5-everything-you-wanted-to-know/1/419130.html</a></span></span></div><div id="new_selection_block0.014796314651774778" style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></div><div id="new_selection_block0.014796314651774778" style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></div></div><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Xiaomi's MIUI has been one of the primary driving forces behind the success of the company's smartphones.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You can argue that the company, which has convincingly proven that "you can pack in some real neat hardware, yet somehow keep your devices budget-friendly" still has a lot more going for itself. That is true, but you see, the user interface is key to a device's ease of use and functionality aspects, and being an OEM you simply can't ignore it. Look what that it did to Samsung: it now has little choice but to start reworking on its TouchWiz UI for its future phones, including its next flagship simply because it was awful on so many levels.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Xiaomi's MIUI sticks closely to its Chinese roots and quite obviously doesn't shy away from being a show-off in terms of look and feel. Flashy icons and animations therefore come as a part and parcel along with this UI. But what makes Xiaomi's MIUI different from other Chinese counterparts, or UIs in general, is how well integrated it is over the Android OS. The result being, you get a good looking, slick UI that is as functional. It's as smooth as HTC's Sense UI, only that the MIUI is much better looking.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Xiaomi has been often criticized for 'heavily skinning' Android to a level where the very soul of Android software seems left behind by miles. In the version 6 the company has been accused of blatantly copying Apple's iOS 7.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Both these accusations are true to some extent, and shall depend on how you decide to look at the MIUI. At the end of the day, it's all about customer satisfaction, and rest assured they are not complaining. A mixed bag wherein you get the functionality of Android (plus additional themes support) with the style and sophistication of iOS is not a bad deal.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Of course, Apple fan boys and stock Android lovers will beg to disagree.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">That said, let's talk about the MIUI 6. It is already part of the Xiaomi MI 4 and soon other Xiaomis will start getting it. How is it different from the MIUI 5? We tell you:</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><b>General</b></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While the MIUI 5 was based on Android 4.2 (all the way up to 4.4.2), the MIUI 6 is based on Android 4.4.4.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The MIUI 6 is flat all the way down to the core (including icons, buttons as well as bundled apps) and comes with a new animations set as compared to its predecessor. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It is certainly way better looking than MIUI 5. The UI appears better-looking than stock Android KitKat, however, Lollipop is a clear winner in terms of overall look and feel. And yes, the MIUI 6 will remind you of iOS 7 on more than one count.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><b>Lock screen</b></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: center; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="middle" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/lock_021615010311.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(215, 215, 215); margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: right; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Xiaomi has greatly simplified the lock screen and done away with the circle toggle that was used to drag around to access basic features in MIUI 5. Instead of having to pull down on the circle, you can just swipe up to unlock the device in MIUI 6.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The simplicity however comes at a price, in that the lock screen is no longer as dynamic as it was in MIUI 5. There is no longer an option to add widgets to the lock screen.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Unread notifications do however show up on the lower end of the screen, and tapping on it leads you straight to the concerned app. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Swiping left across the lock screen in MIUI 6 will take you to the camera app much like in the case of Lollipop.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><b>Notification panel</b></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: center; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="middle" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/notify_021615010311.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d7d7d7; margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: center; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There's a major overhaul in terms of the notification panel in MIUI 6. To begin with, it has a complete turnaround with respect to look and feel: it now comes with a transparent/blurry background that reflects whatever app/screen is behind the panel. Yes, it looks a hell lot similar to the notification panel found in iOS 7.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You can, of course, quickly swipe between notifications list and the quick settings like before, but you can no longer reorganize items in the quick settings panel in MIUI 6.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><b>App switcher</b></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The recent app switcher builds upon the previous icon view found in MIUI 5, and adds a card view to it, much like the one we see in iOS 7. You therefore get two ways to view your recent apps: the traditional icon view and a card-based view. Switching between the two needs a mere pinching in and out.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The MIUI 6 also says goodbye to the traditional Menu found on the MIUI 5. This means the recent tasks button will take you straight to the app switcher, unlike before when you had to tap and hold the same to access it.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><b>Settings and animations</b><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: left; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="left" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/settings_021615010311.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d7d7d7; margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: center; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The MIUI 6 comes with a completely redesigned settings app, which we feel is not the best when you're out using it. The sheer number of settings all thrown up on one screen can be overwhelming to many.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It does come with a revamped set of toggles that is pleasing to the eye; however, we personally think the settings app of the MIUI 5 was way better in terms of organization.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: center; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="middle" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/power_021615010311.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d7d7d7; margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: center; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The MIUI 6 comes with a set of fancy animations on-board, and we were pretty impressed with what's on offer courtesy the power menu. The power menu in comparison on the MIUI 5 was downright plain and boring.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><b>Floating notification for messages </b>  </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The MIUI 6 comes with something called floating notifications, which is not entirely a new concept, but is a nice addition to the user interface.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Similar to Lollipop's heads-up notification, MIUI 6's floating notifications appear as small pop-up alerts at the top of the screen, giving you the option to interact directly to the same without having to open the notification drop-down menu. The pop-up alerts don't take up much screen space and won't take you away from whatever you're doing at the moment unless you decide to pick that call/reply to a text etc.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><b>Redesigned apps</b></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">While every app has received a fresh coat of paint in the MIUI 6, the following deserve a special mention for the sheer dramatic overhaul in comparison to MIUI 5. It must be noted that much of these changes narrow down towards the overall look and feel factor instead of majorly effecting the functionality aspect with respect to the MIUI 5.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: center; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="middle" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/calculator_650_021615123223.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d7d7d7; margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: center; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-- <b>Calculator</b>: The calculator app has been redesigned to feature flatter and modern looking buttons in the MIUI 6. Still, the app maintains its simple outline and background aspects.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: center; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="middle" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/calendar_021615010311.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d7d7d7; margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: center; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-- <b>Calendar</b>: The calendar app in the MIUI 6 seems to be now one step closer to iOS 7 in terms of look and feel. It appears to be the closest copy of the equivalent app on the iOS 7.  Absence of a Menu in the MIUI 6 means, you get all your options (like jump to date and settings) right within the app on the screen itself.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: center; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="middle" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/camera_021615010311.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d7d7d7; margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: center; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-- <b>Camera</b>: The camera app has perhaps received the biggest overhaul in the MIUI 6. Xiaomi has tried to simplify the camera app to an extent by reducing the number of screen toggles here. As a result, the gallery toggle, the camera and the video recording toggles have been arranged together at the lower end in the form of circles. Switching between the camera and the video toggles changes the frame to include a three screen and a two screen display accordingly.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Therefore, instead of giving a separate toggle for filters and modes, the MIUI 6 now gives you separate screens for it, which is nice and less confusing.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The video toggle will remind you of the iOS, in that the circle icon while recording turns into a square.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: center; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="middle" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/clock_021615010311.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d7d7d7; margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: center; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-- <b>Clock and Compass</b>: Both the clock and compass apps have received an arguably good looking update in the MIUI 6. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: center; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="middle" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/compass_021615010311.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d7d7d7; margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: center; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The clock app in particular looks really good, and the fact that it is animated makes it all the more pleasing.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span class="storycentimg" style="border: 0px solid #d7d7d7; float: center; margin: 2px 15px 2px 0px; width: 650px;"><span style="width: 650px;"><img align="middle" alt="" border="0" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/music_021615010311.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d7d7d7; margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" /></span><span class="mos-caption" style="text-align: center; width: 650px;" valign="bottom">MIUI 6 on the left and MIUI 5 on the right</span></span></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In addition, subtle changes to the gallery, dialler, messaging, music and video, browser and email make the MIUI 6 a thorough update to the MIUI 5.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><b>What we feel about the MIUI 6</b></span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The MIUI 6 is what you call a major design overhaul in comparison to the MIUI 5. Features like floating notifications, a card view in app switching and redesigned apps, particularly the camera help a great deal in improving the UI in terms of functionality.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">But overall, it's about the look and feel aspect with this one, and let's just say it doesn't disappoint. While some of it may have been borrowed straight out of Apple's textbook, you cannot call the MIUI 6 as a total rip off, as some allege.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's definitely a handy improvement over the MIUI 5, but we feel, Lollipop still has an edge and is definitely a better looking one too. </span></span><br /><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">source: <a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/technology/story/xiaomis-miui-6-vs-miui-5-everything-you-wanted-to-know/1/419130.html">indiaToday </a></span></span><br /><div style="position: fixed;"><div id="new_selection_block0.027920603197901572" style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /><br />Read more at: <a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/technology/story/xiaomis-miui-6-vs-miui-5-everything-you-wanted-to-know/1/419130.html" target="_blank_">http://indiatoday.intoday.in/technology/story/xiaomis-miui-6-vs-miui-5-everything-you-wanted-to-know/1/419130.html</a></span></span></div></div></div>

Mi3 has a really big chassis for a 5" screen phone, thus it's hard to reach the other end while using one hand. Base on similar concepts of keyboards that squeeze to a corner for one-hand typing, the OHO feature in MIUI 6 contains both 4" and 3.5" options.</div><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Microsoft YaHei', Tahoma, Helvetica, SimSun, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><br /><div align="center" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Microsoft YaHei', Tahoma, Helvetica, SimSun, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="255124" class="zoom" file="data/attachment/forum/201501/08/222633fwors0x0m51xvv7m.gif" id="aimg_255124" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201501/08/222633fwors0x0m51xvv7m.gif" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" width="388" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201501/08/222633fwors0x0m51xvv7m.gif" /></ignore_js_op></div><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Microsoft YaHei', Tahoma, Helvetica, SimSun, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><br /><div align="left" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Microsoft YaHei', Tahoma, Helvetica, SimSun, sans-serif; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;">It's not the perfect solution though, especially the blank space is rather unpleasant.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Simplistic and minimalism seems to be the order of the day as Google and Apple both released their flat new UI sometime back with the Google Android L and Apple's refined iOS 8. Xiaomi sets out to not only follow the trend of vibrant, flat UI but to bring it to a whole new level by incorporating features into each system apps to make it not only an eye candy but something users just can't live without. This time, I am going to introduce to you the new Calendar, more simplistic and more feature-packed than ever.</span></span><br /><div align="center" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img aid="160243" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152713u1djbzbpbhlzonla.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160243" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152713u1djbzbpbhlzonla.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152713u1djbzbpbhlzonla.png" /></span></ignore_js_op></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The first thing you'll notice about the new Calendar App is its reskinned new look. It's the same red colour, still the two tone flip page look and the same white font, just that it's flat. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">As soon as you're in, you'll be greeted by a new interface, which is practically a rearrangement of everything except the main calendar plus a brand new Agenda list of the day below. Every element is shifted to new positions which, in my opinion, is much better and easier to use. Want to switch between Month, Week or Day view? Just Tap "M", "W" or "D" on the top right corner.</span></span><br /><div align="center" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160209" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152318e49cgswxjwupc16d.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160209" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152318e49cgswxjwupc16d.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152318e49cgswxjwupc16d.png" /> </ignore_js_op><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160210" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152321xguagvquq8fvmz5w.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160210" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152321xguagvquq8fvmz5w.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152321xguagvquq8fvmz5w.png" /></ignore_js_op><ignore_js_op style="word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160211" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152324w9crrr1faetabaag.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160211" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152324w9crrr1faetabaag.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152324w9crrr1faetabaag.png" /></ignore_js_op></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Feel like adding a new Agenda for today? Tap the "+" button below and you'll be brought to the entry interface which is not much of a difference from the one in V5. You still get the usual list of options and more with just one tap away under "More Options". Any agenda added will automatically be shown in the Agenda list for the day under the Calendar in Month View and there'll be a dot above the date. Swipe up the Agenda list on the Month View also shows the complete list of agendas for the day. The smileys on top of each day indicates the holidays in China, with the green smiling ones indicating rest days while the red, sad ones representing working days. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><ignore_js_op style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160256" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/22/175106h7j7j7ozbp8fzo1i.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160256" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/22/175106h7j7j7ozbp8fzo1i.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/22/175106h7j7j7ozbp8fzo1i.png" /> </ignore_js_op><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><ignore_js_op style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160255" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/22/175121xxpzjug45wip4xng.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160255" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/22/175121xxpzjug45wip4xng.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/22/175121xxpzjug45wip4xng.png" /></ignore_js_op><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><ignore_js_op style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160257" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153116sllmze71eepfw7l2.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160257" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153116sllmze71eepfw7l2.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153116sllmze71eepfw7l2.png" /> </ignore_js_op><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><ignore_js_op style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160212" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152327r8b9qhoh8rgp849d.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160212" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152327r8b9qhoh8rgp849d.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/152327r8b9qhoh8rgp849d.png" /> </ignore_js_op><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Week view is improvised in V6. It shows the summary of all the event reminders set for that week and a grey region marks the time that has passed during the week. Similar to the Month View, swiping left or right brings you to the previous week or the next week. A purple column shows the agenda for that day.</span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><ignore_js_op style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160252" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153050x4vfvqs34eyvs4ee.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160252" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153050x4vfvqs34eyvs4ee.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153050x4vfvqs34eyvs4ee.png" /> </ignore_js_op><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><ignore_js_op style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160251" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153046b8ibrzccbyiyonor.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160251" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153046b8ibrzccbyiyonor.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153046b8ibrzccbyiyonor.png" /></ignore_js_op><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><ignore_js_op style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160253" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153054xtidwitiqiiuqd25.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160253" initialized="true" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153054xtidwitiqiiuqd25.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153054xtidwitiqiiuqd25.png" /> </ignore_js_op><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><ignore_js_op style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;"><img aid="160258" file="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153120mn2wa6b802aknzww.png.thumb.jpg" id="aimg_160258" inpost="1" src="http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153120mn2wa6b802aknzww.png.thumb.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; word-wrap: break-word;" zoomfile="data/attachment/forum/201409/21/153120mn2wa6b802aknzww.png" /> </ignore_js_op><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; word-wrap: break-word;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Day View is practically same as week view, just that you only view any agendas for that day only.
