Unofficial ways: downloading custom voiceover

If you don't like standard voices or your model doesn't support language change, you can try alternative methods, which require more effort, but give you complete freedom in your voice choice.

There are two main approaches:

1. Replacement of audio files through ADB. Suitable for experienced users who are ready to work with the command line.
2. Using modified firmware, a risky method that could take away warranty.

Let’s take a closer look at the first one, as it is safer.

Method 1: Replacement of voiceover through ADB (advanced)

This method involves connecting to the vacuum cleaner ADB (Android Debug Bridge and replacing the standard audio files with your own:

• 🖥️ Computer with installed ADB and drivers.
• 🔌 USB-cable (usually Micro-USB or Type-C, depending on the model).
• 🎤 A set of sound files in.ogg format with the correct names (you can download ready-made packages on forums like 4PDA).

Step-by-step:

Download and install ADB on PC (for example, through Android Studio)

Connect the vacuum cleaner to the computer through USB

Enable debugging by USB in the vacuum cleaner settings (if there is such a point)

Download the archive with custom voiceover and unpack it

-->

1. Connect the vacuum cleaner to your computer and open the command line (CMD terminal).
2. Check the connection command: adb devices If the device is displayed – you can continue.
3. Download the archive with voiceovers (for example, for Russian localization) and unpack it. The archive should have files with names like start_cleaning.ogg, low_battery.ogg etc.
4. Copy files to the vacuum cleaner by the command: adb push path to file /system/media/audio/ Example: Adb push C:\vacuum_voice\start_cleaning.ogg /system/media/audio/
5. Reboot the vacuum cleaner with the command: adb reboot

Important! File names must match the original ones exactly, and if you don't replace all files, some of the clues will sound in the standard language.

Method 2: Modified firmware (for experienced)

Some enthusiasts create custom firmware for robot vacuum cleaners that allow:

• 🔊 Completely replace voiceovers with any (including celebrity voices or jokes).
• 🌐 Add support for new languages.
• ⚡ Improve productivity and add new features.

However, this method has serious disadvantages:

• ⚠️ Loss of warranty: Xiaomi does not support unofficial firmware.
• ⚠️ The risk of bricking. The wrong firmware can make the vacuum cleaner fail.
• ⚠️ It's hard to pull back. It's hard to get the original firmware back.

If you do, look for firmware on trusted resources (such as OpenDreame or Valetudo) and follow the instructions carefully.

1. Unlock the loader.
2. Installation of custom recavery (TWRP).
3. Firmware of modified software via fastboot.

💡

Before you run the firmware, back up the original firmware! ADB team-up -apk -shared -all -f backup.ab.

Formats and requirements for sound files

If you decide to create your voiceover or edit an existing one, it is important to know the technical requirements:

To convert your records to the desired format, use programs like Audacity or FFmpeg.

ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -c:a libvorbis -b:a 96k -ar 22050 output.ogg

Critical detail: if the bitrate or sampling rate does not match the original files, the vacuum cleaner may not play the sound or produce errors.

Frequent Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

When changing voices, users often face problems, and here are the most common ones and ways to solve them:

• 🔇 Vacuum doesn't play new voice: Check file names - they should match the original ones. Make sure.ogg files with the right bitrate. Reboot vacuum cleaner after you change files.
• 🔊 Sound interrupted or distorted: Reduce bitrate to 96 kbit/s. Check that the sampling rate does not exceed 22.05 kHz.
• ⚠️ Vacuum stopped turning on after firmware: This is a sign of a failed firmware. Try to return the original software via fastboot. If it doesn't work, contact the service center (but the warranty will be lost).
• 📱 Mi Home app doesn't see vacuum cleaner after changes: Reset vacuum cleaner settings to factory (Reset button on case). Reconnect device to Mi Home.

💡

Before any manipulation of firmware or sound files, back up the original data! This will save time if something goes wrong.

⚠️ Note: If you use unofficial firmware or modify system files, Xiaomi may block access to cloud-based vacuum cleaner functions (such as cleaning cards or assistant voice.

Where to download ready-made voice packets
