Xiaomi’s latest Notes app from the HyperOS 3 China ROM has been adapted for broader Android use, allowing users outside the official Xiaomi ecosystem to experience the redesigned note-taking interface on almost any modern Android phone. The port is based on Notes version 2.6.5.3 , translated into English, and appears to be compatible with Android 10 and later devices . Since this is an unofficial port, users should consider it a community version rather than an official Xiaomi release.
What’s new in this Xiaomi Notes port?
The highlight of this version is the revamped HyperOS 3-style interface . According to the shared screenshots, the app now follows Xiaomi’s new visual language, with a cleaner dark mode, large rounded panels, floating action controls, and a more modern note editor design.
The app includes several familiar features from Xiaomi Notes, such as text notes, image-based notes, voice recording, reminders, cloud sync settings, and AI-powered writing prompts like «summarize, polish, dialogue…» in the editor interface. The recording screen also appears to use a polished circular animation design with language selection support.
This port is based on the Chinese Hyper OS 3 Notes app , but the interface has been translated into English, making it more usable for global users who want the latest Xiaomi Notes experience without waiting for the official release of HyperOS 3.

Why is this port important?
This version is important because Xiaomi’s system apps are often closely tied to HyperOS versions and device regions. Typically, users need a compatible Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO device running the correct system version to access the latest Chinese ROM app updates. With this port, even users of non-Xiaomi Android phones can experience the latest Xiaomi Notes.
However, since this is not an official version, some features may not work perfectly on all devices. Features connected to Xiaomi Cloud, system permissions, reminders, widgets, and background recording may behave differently depending on the phone, Android version, and ROM restrictions.
