Changes on the home-screen

The launcher of the new MIUI v6 version now supports batch organisation of icons and includes a quick search panel, which is accessible by a swipe-up gesture. The Calendar, Calculator, Weather, Compass, Clock and other native apps have been refreshed with a new flatter design. The notification center has been revamped, as these are visible on the lock-screen, collapsed by default but expandable with a small gesture.
