Hi! I have bought a Xiaomi 15 Global to replace my current Mi 11 Ultra.

My old Mi 11 Ultra is currently on HyperOS 1.0.8.0 xiaomi.eu ROM (Android 14), which can be updated to HyperOS 2 xiaomi.eu

My new Xiaomi 15 is currently updated to the latest available official global HyperOS 2.0.222.0 (Android 16)

I wanted to stick with the official global ROM, but I have noticed a couple of issues that are seriously bugging me.

1. Home screen icons can only be arranged max 5 in a row and they are way smaller in size than 6 in a row arrangement on my Mi 11 Ultra. Icon size is maxed out in settings. I can agree that on a 6.3 screen 6 icons would look pretty dense and small and that might be not available, but why make them even smaller than 6 icons on 6.7 screen?

2. Keyboard has this padding on the bottom which takes way too much space. Also on the home screen there is padding as well. Even with the gesture indicator hidden. Might be Android 16 issue.

3. Some fonts are too thin. This happens in Chrome and some apps I'm working on. I had this issue on the Chinese MIUI previously on Mi 11 Ultra and upgrading to xiaomi.eu has fixed this issue.

If there any fellow Xiaomi 15 users on xiaomi.eu ROM please advice if any of these issues are fixed

Also, a question. With my experience on using HyperOS 1 EU on Mi 11 Ultra with TWRP reboots take something close to 5 minutes. My Xiaomi 15 on the global ROM reboots in under a minute. Mi 11 Ultra on the stock Chinese ROM was also rebooting very fast. Will reboots become much longer on the xiaomi.eu?

I've heard that bootloader unlock process has became harder and I am actually okay using the global version. But unfortunately, these issues are way too annoying. Not to talk about missing call recording.
