Get Stock Android-like Notification Center in MIUI with Material Notification Shade


Material Notification Shade

MIUI is amongst the most popular android skins but there are few things we do not like about MIUI and one of them is MIUI notification panel because it lacks basic stock android features like Quick reply and painful two finger swipe down to expand notifications gesture.

If you ever missed quick reply feature and want a not so difficult way of expanding notification on your Mi/Redmi device, this tutorial is a must read for you because we have found an interesting app that replaces the notification panel with a stock like notification panel and at the same time gives you freedom of customization.

Install the app from Google Play Store here, note that this is the free version and it has limited customization options, if you wish to get access to all the feature you might consider upgrading to Pro version.

After installing the app, make sure to give the required permissions to the app, the app requires following permissions.

Apart from these make sure to turn on Autostart settings for Material Notifications Shade, also turn off MIUI Battery Optimizations for this app in order to prevent it from killing by system.

Change settings as per your preference,

You’re good to go now, this is how the notification panel looks like after setting up the app, pretty impressive, isn’t it?

A few quick settings toggles do not work properly as of now but we hope that developers of this app fix them soon to provide a more fluid experience to users.
