To install the new MIUI Alpha launcher, first, download the APK file from the source link. On completion, click on the three dots and select “save to downloads.” After that, head over to your device file manager and locate the file under downloads. There, you should tap on it to start the installation.
Note: installing directly from the source link will return an error message. You have to save the APK file on your phone and from there install the application.
Meanwhile, for devices running Android Pie down and currently using a third-party launcher, we advise you to avoid the update. Installing the new MIUI launcher on a Xiaomi phone running a third-party launcher restricts access to the home screen option in settings. When you try to access the options in “Home screen,” it force closes itself.

However, there’s a workaround when you experience such an issue. Go back to settings>>apps>>manage app and use the search option to search for “MIUI launcher.”Tap on it, and when it opens, you will see uninstall latest updates. Go ahead and do that. Now try accessing the “Home screen” options again, and this time, it won’t crash.
