How To Mod Adds Fingerprint Wakeup After Reboot, Night Light On Xiaomi Mi A1

The Mi A1 is the first Xiaomi smartphone that is shipped with Android One, so it isn’t surprising as there have been a lot of attention since its launch. Android One does not come with the same functionality as the standard Android version. However, thanks to an XDA Senior Member, he created a mod for Xiaomi Mi A1 that adds some new features such as fingerprint wakeup (wake the display with third-party lock screen apps), auto brightness, and other ones.

Features:

• Fingerprint Wakeup
• VoLTE Symbol Instead of HD
• Invisible Power Button in Statusbar
• Night Light
• Auto Brightness
• 4 Row Quick Tiles (v2)

If you like this modification, keep reading this post for full installation instructions. You should note that the mod only works with any Nougat 7.1.2 build on the Mi A1.The process might affect to your data, so we recommend making a backup first.
