We are We have already experienced the various features of Android 4.4 on. For the time being, except for the "Five Princes", other mobile phones can only be tasted by transplantation. The Xiaomi 2 series (including Xiaomi 2, 2S and 2A) have all launched the portable version of native Android 4.4. Of course, we also try Kitkat on Xiaomi.

This article uses Xiaomi mobile phone 2 16G to swipe into native Android 4.4, and the swiping package comes from "Qiudai" 。

The method of machine cleaning is very simple. You just need to download the special Recovery and machine cleaning package. Before swiping in, prepare four ZIP swiping packages as shown in the figure. From top to bottom, they are the latest MIUI package, Google service package, Xiaomi 2S Android 4.4 swiping package, and Android 4.4 dedicated Recovery ▼

Recovery Click "Select installation package" ▼ on the system upgrade page

After flushing in Recovery, use it to flush in the Android 4.4 flash package ▼

Since Xiaomi has a dual system setting, it is likely that it will still enter the MIUI after the Android 4.4 is uploaded. At this time, we need to install an application of "dual system switcher". Since this application needs to obtain the Root permission, it is recommended that users who try new products should first upload the MIUI of the launch version to facilitate the system switchover ▼

After switching the system, we can normally enter the native Android 4.4 ▼

Because they all use the native Android 4.4 system, the launcher looks almost the same as the Nexus 5 we have evaluated. Of course, Xiaomi 2S does not have a virtual key ▼

Android 4.4 on 2S uses source code compilation. The icon on the secondary menu is not as big as that on Nexus 5, and the style of the icon keeps the style of Android 4.3 ▼

Other aspects are almost the same as those on Nexus 5. The following is the double finger drop-down ▼

Lock screen ▼

Initiator Editor ▼

Dial Panel ▼

This version of Android 4.4 can still start Google Now through voice, of course, you need to change the system language to English ▼

Android 4.4 on Xiaomi 2S still retains SMS ▼

Setting interface ▼

Android version 4.4, kernel version 3.4.0 ▼

The running environment of ART will still be maintained in the developer options ▼

After Android 4.3, both Adreno 320 and Adreno 330 support OpenGL ES 3.0. Of course, Xiaomi 2S will also support it here. However, the GPU driver is still V14, which is relatively old. The Nexus 5 has reached V53 ▼

There is not much improvement in score, but support for OpenGL ES3.0 can bring better picture quality performance to the game ▼

This time, the migration of Android 4.4 from Xiaomi 2 series is very fast, but in terms of actual use, MIUI V5 is still the best partner of Xiaomi 2. Although the native system has brought a relatively new operating experience and support for OpenGL ES3.0, it has lost many MIUI customization functions, and the camera optimization will be much worse, so it is still suitable for some users who want to try something new, not suitable for long-term use.
