Since every aosp Rom (last was Pixel Experience) gets laggy after some time, I decided to go to miui again, since I never had lag problems with miui.
My GF's RN4 was faster than my RN5 running PE 9.0 so I said it's time for a change.
On miui I only hated the notification lag (or no notification at all) and the, for example reply in statusbar not working like in aosp.

So, since they changed it in miui 10.3 (maybe even before?), I was quite happy with almost everything.
What I am missing is the "swipe up" to Google search, or swipe right from home screen to Google search.
I managed to deactivate the App-Vault (swipe right from home) but I dont know, how to set Google search instead of that miui search at "swipe up from home screen".

Is there a chance to do it?
Or set Google search to "swipe right from home screen"?
I haven't found an option to change the swipe gestures.

I still miss some other stuff from aosp Roms, since they are all "Google based" but miui is miui and I guess you can't have everything.

I'm on Xiaomi.eu 10.3 MIUI, Magisk installed.

Thanks!

EDIT:
With Google search I meant the Google assistant / Google Now too. I mean, it's standard feature with aosp Roms so I guess you know what I mean.. The Google search with some news underneath the search bar.

Actually you can enable swipe up to google search back. You just need to clear default of the mi browser in setting > installed apps > browser > clear default. You may notice that the browser doesn't have any default. Just tap on it and the swipe up gesture will open google search again.

How i notice this? Cause everytime there is mi browser update. The swipe up gesture revert back to that xiaomi browser.

Sadly not working for me.. Maybe you don't use the same version?

Also, another question.
If I flash global beta, am I going to get Google search?
If so, what are the benefits (if any) of global beta Rom if you compare it to Xiaomi.eu?
I think, Xiaomi.eu Roms are bit more optimized and debloated or?

Global beta is more stable than the stable channel (which i use currently - build 10.0.6). While there isn't any big difference between xiaomi.eu and global beta since they use the same build except for ads (which can be disable by unistalling msa apps with adb debloater). And yes, you get all google apps in global beta

Btw, can you clear default for google apps and google chrome to see if it working?

Nope, still not working.
Well I guess I have to live with it. It's not that big problem, since I can start the Google feed with the widget.
It would be good though, if you could disable the miui-search but if you have no idea how to do it, then it's alright..
thanks though!

Hey, I had the same problem and solved it! (sorry for digging up an 8 months old thread)

Get xiaomi debloater and uninstall Browser and Search (com.android.search), and voilá. At least it did work for me, on Mi 9, Xiaomi.EU rom.

actually You can enable swipe up google search if you r a root user..

you have to follow some step

step 1: reinstall the rom

step 2: root

step 3: immediately install lucky patcher

step 4: uninstall the system app browser

done!!

google swip up gesture will enable for forever until you reflash the rom.

if you follow step 3 and 4 now without reflash rom the swipe up gesture will show app not installed..

I done this before I am using swipe up google...

You can do it without root, usb debugging adb allows you to uninstall system app without root, and please do not mention L* P* here, it's against the rule to mention that app on xda.

I was able to use the following command to remove the Mi Browser from my Note 7 running Miui 11.0.7.0
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.mi.globalbrowser

I just wanted to let other users know that this still works on MIUI 12 ! (Mi 9 Lite)

Thanks for the hint! I tried to uninstall Mi Browser via ADB (as I did before), but that didn't work this time. Your post saved my day!
