Triggers Circle to Search on Android 9–16 devices.
About MiCTS
MiCTS is an Android app whose main job is to open Circle to Search on phones running Android 9 through 16. It acts as a trigger only. The project says it does not handle problems that come up after Circle to Search opens. Setup can take some work, because several options depend on the Android version, the phone brand, and LSPosed module settings.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
Key features
- Opens Circle to Search by launching MiCTS, which other apps can use as an action
- Quick Settings tile for triggering
- Built-in Xiaomi gesture triggers for the long press handle and home button
- Separate delay settings for launch and tile triggers
- Three system trigger services: VIS, CSHelper and CSService
Best for: Android users who want a way to open Circle to Search on Android 9 to 16 devices.
Good for
- CSHelper does not need Google set as the default assistant, and the screen edge does not flash when triggering.
- Some setups may trigger without root when you launch MiCTS.
Watch out for
- It handles only the trigger, not problems that happen after Circle to Search opens.
- Some fallback steps need root and an LSPosed module.
- Some gesture triggers work only on Xiaomi devices.
- Google may disable Circle to Search on some devices.
- The VIS service needs Google as the default assistant and may flash the screen edge.
