# Xiaomi / Redmi / Poco

Xiaomi/Redmi devices usually work just fine with Smart Launcher. If you are experiencing some issues, here you may find the solution you are looking for.

## Gesture system not working with Smart Launcher

![](https://2951925047-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-LbhTQpvrCNT3tTFB_3o%2Fuploads%2FlqN1ErM9B4P7tia2b2zo%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=fa6341f4-e7ff-40c1-a634-af885ed02709)

As the message clearly say&#x73;**,** this is not a problem caused by Smart Launcher, Xiaomi doesn't allow gestures to be used with third-party launchers since Android 11. The problem cannot be fixed by the SL devs but it can only be fixed by a future Xiaomi update.

## **The clock reports a wrong alarm time, even if I didn't set any!**

This is a known bug. Unfortunately, we cannot fix it, because it is caused by another app (MIUI clock app) which communicates erroneous info to Smart Launcher.

The good news is you can easily fix solve the problem by installing and using a different Alarm clock app like Google Clock\

## Widgets do not respond to touch

This behavior is consequence of a change in MIUI 11 and it's totally independent from Smart Launcher. Now you need to enable the option **Display pop-up windows while running in the background** (in **Settings** > **Apps** > **Rights** > **Other permissions**) for each widget you want to use on your home screen.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.smartlauncher.net/products/faq/common-issues/device-specific-issues/xiaomi.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
