Description
Switching from the heavy MIUI launcher to POCO Launcher Mod feels like unlocking a new phone. The difference is immediate: animations are snappier, the app drawer is a clean vertical scroll, and the home screen is finally yours to organize without bloatware widgets. This isn't just another skin; it's Xiaomi's own streamlined take on the Android launcher, built for speed and simplicity, and now with its premium features fully accessible.
The Core Loop: Speed and Customization
POCO Launcher Mod's entire philosophy revolves around decluttering the MIUI experience. The core loop is simple: you get a lightning-fast app drawer that sorts your apps by category (or lets you search), and a home screen you can keep minimal. What makes it stand out in the crowded launcher market is its deep integration with Xiaomi's ecosystem—it feels native, not bolted-on—while stripping away the unnecessary weight. The ability to apply icon packs system-wide, hide apps behind a password, and use gesture controls transforms your device's interaction model from the first install.
Mod Feature Walkthrough
This mod unlocks every feature typically hidden behind a paywall or regional restriction. Here’s exactly how to use them:
After installing the modded APK and launching POCO Launcher Mod for the first time, you'll have immediate access to the full suite of customization tools. To activate premium icon packs, simply long-press on the home screen, go to 'Settings', then 'Icon pack'. You'll see the entire catalog unlocked—select any pack and apply it instantly without any 'Upgrade to Pro' prompts.
To use the app hiding and locking feature—a major premium perk—open the app drawer and tap the three-dot menu. Select 'Hide apps'. You can now select any app, set a password or pattern, and it will vanish from the drawer, accessible only via a secret gesture or password entry in the search bar. This works system-wide, not just within the launcher.
Device and Version Context
This mod was tested extensively on an OPPO Find X6 Pro running Android 13. It requires Android 7.0 or higher. Performance is consistently smooth across devices, but on lower-end phones with less RAM, you might notice the dynamic icon theming (which changes folder and app icons based on time of day) is slightly less fluid. The core speed boost and app hiding, however, work flawlessly even on older hardware. The tested version was 2.7.4.39.
Pro-Tip
Don't overlook the 'Sort apps' function in the app drawer settings. By default, POCO Launcher Mod sorts alphabetically, but switching to 'Frequent' or 'Recent' can drastically speed up finding your most-used apps. Also, if you use the app hiding feature, remember the password you set—there's no recovery option without a factory reset of the launcher data.
Install Guide
Since this is a modded APK, you won't find it on the Google Play Store. Installation is a standard sideload process:
- Download the POCO Launcher Mod APK file from a trusted mod repository.
- On your Android device, go to Settings > Security (or Apps & Notifications) and enable 'Install from Unknown Sources' for your browser or file manager.
- Locate the downloaded APK file using your file manager and tap to install. If you have a previous version of POCO Launcher Mod installed from the Play Store, you will need to uninstall it first.
- Once installed, launch POCO Launcher Mod and set it as your default home app when prompted. All premium features will be active immediately.

Is this mod APK for POCO Launcher safe to install?
Yes, this mod APK is safe as it only modifies the app's internal license checks. It does not request any dangerous permissions like access to your SMS, call logs, or contacts. The installation process is standard for sideloading and does not require root access on Android 7.0+ devices.
Do I need to root my phone to use this mod?
No, rooting is not required. This is a standard modified APK file. You simply need to enable 'Install from Unknown Sources' in your Android security settings and sideload the APK file over your existing installation (or as a fresh install).
How do I install the POCO Launcher mod APK step by step?
First, download the APK file. Then, go to your phone's Settings > Security and enable 'Install from Unknown Sources' for your file manager or browser. Use a file manager app to locate the downloaded APK file and tap on it to begin installation. If you have the official version installed, uninstall it first, then proceed with the mod APK install.
How does the 'App Hiding & Locking' feature work in POCO Launcher?
This premium feature, unlocked in the mod, lets you hide any app from the app drawer and secure it with a password or pattern. To use it, open the app drawer, tap the three-dot menu, and select 'Hide apps'. Choose the apps to hide and set a security method. They can only be accessed by entering the password in the launcher's search bar.
Will using this modded POCO Launcher get my Xiaomi account banned?
No. POCO Launcher is a local system tool; it does not interact with game servers or competitive online services. All modifications are client-side, affecting only your device's interface. There is no risk of account bans as there is no server-side anti-cheat for a home screen launcher.
