Describe the Bug

Hello,

First of all, thank you for all the hard work you have put into Hyper Bridge. I have been using this app on my Redmi Note 14 for quite a long time, and before the recent update it worked very well for me. I was genuinely happy with the experience.

After the update released a few days ago, I started facing several issues on my device. In my personal opinion, the previous version already worked quite well, and I feel it may have been better to continue improving that experience rather than introducing major new changes.

My first concern is the new Live Updates Design. When the Island expands, it becomes quite large and takes up a significant portion of the status bar area. Important icons such as Wi-Fi, signal, battery, and other notification icons become hidden. Personally, I find the previous design much cleaner and more practical for daily use.

My second concern is the Xiaomi Featured Design. Initially, it would not activate and required the additional Shizuku app. I spent a considerable amount of time setting everything up. The app was not easily available for me, so I had to manually install it and complete the entire setup process.

Unfortunately, even after all of that effort, the feature still does not work properly on my device. I received one call notification that appeared on the Island, but afterward the Island did not behave correctly, and most of the notifications that came later were not shown on the Island at all.

Because of this experience, the new features currently feel less reliable on my Redmi Note 14 than the previous version did.

Please do not take this as criticism. I truly appreciate the effort you put into this project, and I know a lot of work goes into developing and maintaining it. I am only sharing my honest experience as a long-time user who really enjoyed using Hyper Bridge before these changes.

At the moment, I am unsure whether Hyper Bridge is still the right solution for my device. If there is a recommended configuration, a fix, or another method that I should try, I would be very grateful for your guidance. Otherwise, if you know of an alternative app that provides a similar experience, I would appreciate your recommendation.

Thank you again for your time, support, and continued work on Hyper Bridge.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the latest version of Hyper Bridge on Redmi Note 14 (HyperOS 3).
2. Enable Live Updates and Xiaomi Featured Design.
3. Complete all required permissions and setup steps.
4. Configure the additional Shizuku setup if requested.
5. Receive a phone call or notification from apps such as WhatsApp or Instagram.
6. Observe the Island behavior and notification handling.

Results:

• Live Updates become too large and hide status bar icons.
• Xiaomi Featured Design does not work reliably.
• Some notifications appear once, while many others do not appear on the Island at all.
• In some cases, the Island remains visible and does not dismiss correctly after a notification or call.

Hello,
Thank you for using Hyper Bridge. Regarding the live notifications i can't control how they will be shown since it's Xiaomi who makes them into Hyper Islands.

Their philosophy is to show as much characters as possible on the island. Making the status icons to be hidden.

Regarding the Shizuku app: As shown on the onboarding screen, Shizuku is only required for those devices that runs the CN version of HyperOS. If the app worked priviously you can uninstall the Shizuku app without losing the functionality. Then disable the workaround on the Global settings engine page.

Due to a bug on the build, it showed that page on non CN devices. In the last 0.5.3 won't show it if you have a global device like yours (MI).

Hyper Bridge 0.5.0 updated the specification to the last version of Xiaomi Featured Notifications. The last version introduced lots of changes, for example the new default value is 1 hour for closing islands, and before was 12 hours.

To make sure the Island works on future versions of HyperOS i had to upgrade the specification, this ended up making some behavior change.

To make sure calls close when they finish, you need to enable discard with original on global settings > Behavior.

I'm sorry all this changes made your experience worse. Hope this helps you understand why i had to make so much changes and offer more customization options.

Hyper Bridge 0.5.3 is out on Github and in the public beta channel of Play Store. Should fix the majority of bugs the users have been reporting lately.

Below is a screenshot that should replicate the behavior it had before on Hyper Bride 0.4.2.
