Xiaomi Removes 1 Stacked-Recents Workaround in HyperOS 3.1 POCO Launcher Update
3 articles · Updated · ximitime.com · Jul 9
Summary
HyperOS 3.1 and the latest POCO Launcher patch out the hidden command that enabled stacked recent apps on some low-end POCO phones, removing the multitasking layout after upgrade.
The blocked workaround — "settings put global task_stack_view_layout_style 2" — had exposed a layered recent-apps view that many users preferred for navigation and appearance.
Xiaomi’s change stems from system-level tweaks aimed at improving multitasking stability and standardizing the interface across POCO devices, while deprecating unsupported UI flags.
Affected users now have fewer customization options, and those who want to keep stacked recents are being advised to delay the HyperOS 3.1 and POCO Launcher updates.
