First of all, "I feel sorry for the people on MIUI Forums, disregarding every bug and making people feel as if we should pay Xiaomi for using their devices "
Coming to the point, we all are aware how bad MIUI is at multitasking on MI 3. Heck, I feel jealous of my Galaxy Core(2+ years old) having 1GB of RAM but still able to hold 3 CHROME tabs along with other apps at once.(My MI 3 on the other hand, -_- )
I am least bothered about the "low ram visible to us" thing people complain.I just want proper multtasking capability on my 2 GIGS of ram, and by multitasking, I mean background caching of apps.
Thus , me being a noob, need help to promote this thread so as to find a way ( like buildprop file tweak etc.) which we can use for the MEMORY MANAGEMENT problems on our STOCK MIUI Roms.
I really have lost all hope that we'll be getting proper sources for bug free ROMS, so this is a humble request to all capable developers that we have here.
Thanks in advance!! :fingers-crossed:

Go in developer options, and set "memory optimisation" to "off"... You will see some difference.. But still i agree, miui is very bad at multitasking...

So as an update, after changing Memory Optimisation to "NONE" , the situation has improved only by 8-10% or so, and the RAM management issue remains the same.So I am probably stuck with the phone for another year. Atleast the phone does not lag one bit.:angel:

First thing I did when I got this phone, was to flash a custom ROM. I came form a Nexus 4, where very few people use the stock ROM.
Right now, there are plenty of excellent options for the Mi3.
I have been using EOS for about 2 months now, and I highly recommend it. I installed an app called Resource Monitor Pro, which allows you to display available RAM on the screen - I have positioned it to just next to the (centred) clock.
Between updating to later versions of this ROM, I have had 300 hours of uptime without any sort of lag, using all sorts of apps and games: RAM management has been exactly as expected - between 400mb and 600mb free. That is, the ROM is doing a good job of managing memory, killing old tasks and keeping recent tasks in memory until something else comes along.
If I were you, I would read up on how to get into the dangerously addictive world of custom ROMs...
Okay, one more solution if you want to stick to miui (as it is the most stable rom) and not lollipop roms.
Use a third party MiUi rom. These guys have really improved multitasking on the modded miui roms. I don't know if its allowed to post link here, but there you go :

The only reason keeping me from trying a custom rom is a working camera with good pictures, and certain deal breaker bugs.Do you suggest to try the ROM inspite of the above?

Yup.. I'm using it for past 2 weeks. Its very fast as compared to original miui.
1) multitasking is better. On original miui, suppose you have chrome opened with 3 tabs, you get a sms containing OTP, you open the msg, copy the OTP, switch back to chrome and you find that all three tabs start to load again, and whatever transaction you are in between on lost.
But in this ROM tabs dont reload. When you open a lot of apps together, then only old apps are closed automatically..
Try it.. You can flash it on your current MiUi without wiping system or data. Remember to flash Gapps after flashing this rom.. It dont have GApps built in..

Cyanogen is without Google and LG stuff.
If you want an 'official' GB ROM without LG you 'll have to remove LG apps by yourself (it takes 5 minutes), as dev of leaked GB modded ROM probably won't make a special ROM: you just have to see how much people claim those apps if they are not here...
So as it's impossible to content everyone and as devs are doing this for free and mainly for their own use first and then share it...
So far you can grab a zip of a ROM, delete in /system/app all the unwanted apps and rezip.. And you'll have your ROM.

But the reason I haven't is that CM7 is still full of bugs. So I never flash it. Every discussion is about things which doesn't work. I need something rock-stable.

About cyanogenmod and bugs!
Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 release it seems quite stable but it also have some bugs. Status bar's icons some times change their color from the current theme(cyanbread,green) to white.Also one of the biggest and important problems for me is the camera app. Exposure compensation is good but it lowers significantly the fps. When i record a vid in bright conditions(room with strong lights,a pc monitor-no reason to do that,bright day outdoors) the fps are very good(26-29) but from the other hand when i record in conditions with weak lights the fps can drop to 9... I hope they ll fix it!

The data/wifi/signal colours in the status bar are meant to be only cyan/green/theme colour when you are connected to the google servers, otherwise they are white. It is a feature of stock gingerbread.

Hi
I am using samsung galaxy i9000. its a great device but one feature that irritates me is that it has just 512mb of ram. i have used many ROMs but still can't find any suitable ROM that consumes less ram. By less i mean max 200 mb.

I've had this phone for two years and I've done everything you can imagine with it, not once have I come anywhere near running out of RAM... Have you actually run into problems? And how? I'm on CM10.1 right now and it's sitting at 209MB used.
Now I've been trying for several minutes to make a problem with it. Opening everything I can and making it all use as much RAM as possible at the same time. The cache is full now, but it's sitting at 212MB used when I go to the running apps page. Your problem is a mystery to me.

Are you looking for a JB ROM?
Try using some clean AOSP ports: Oficial Android 4.2 (Galaxy Nexus Stock Rom) <Beta 1> by Dev Elitemovil / presenter: iall5tar,
or custom mixes build on sources: Slim Bean 4.2.1 RC1
You should also consider giving a try some older ROMs from Gingerbread (2.3.6) family. You will find fairly up-to-date i9000 ROM list over: HERE.

It seems that CM will be official for gemini (Mi5) from now on, thanks to xiaomi releasing it's kernel sources a while back.
Althoug many custom roms were already available, without a proper kernel their performance was very poor. So, if you don't want to test which one will suit you the best, I recommend you to wait a few more days to allow devs to start creating their own custom kernel versions, so the device can perform on its max
I have been using CM13 by bgcngm along with the Falcon Kernel by Harrynowl and so far it's amazing. I've had no issues with this configuration and can say it's WAY better than MIUI. You check it out.

Well let's see...
MIUI has this annoying feature (probably to conserve battery life) that whenever you close an app from the recents tray, anything that you had enabled in the Accessibility settings got disabled.
Secondly, MIUI's customization is nowhere as close as to CM's. I know MIUI looks great and all and the theme engine is pretty good but I still prefer stock over it.
There's no Google Now On Tap on MIUI.
MIUI doesn't let apps run in the background (again, to conserve battery), but it's kinda too agressive. Like not even Greenify can run for long periods.
Can't root MIUI unless you're using the China Developer ROM.
I could go on and on but then I'd be nitpicking on MIUI. These are a few reasons from the top of my head.
Also, I've been following this thread for battery optimization. It's pretty darn good and lets me go through 2 days on a single charge.
MIUI has better battery life than stock CM. No question about that. But CM's strengths far outweigh it's weaknesses.

Really man!!! I never try any other ROM than MIUI - Currently is MIUI 8 and it is realizable, durable and fast. Can you please share what functions are better?

You do know that on MIUI battery saving mode is activated my default right? Is not that hard to disable it.
MIUI do let application to run in background. You just need to turn off MIUI optimisation and set Memory optimisation to "off" in Developer Settings.

Yeah, well it doesn't really stop killing the apps. Right now I'm running CM 14.1 and it is AMAZING. The quick switch between apps is phenomenal. And unlike MIUI, it actually keeps my apps the way they were when I last used them.

Secondly, MIUI's customization is nowhere as close as to CM's. I know MIUI looks great and all and the theme engine is pretty good but I still prefer stock over it. it is subjective. There are lot more nice looking themes for miui then for cm ("nice" is of course subjective too)

Huh. You make some excellent points. I was referring to an older build. Maybe the first MIUI 6 one, IIRC. However, it is my personal taste. I can never switch back to MIUI after CM 14.1. It's just so good. I'm not saying that MIUI is bad. It's just that CM 14 is REALLY good. Another issue (and I may be nitpicking here), is that I use LastPass a lot and it requires to be switched on in the accessibility services. From what I had gathered, I had to keep turning the Accessibility setting on every time I close the app/restart my device. If there's a work around, do let me know....
Maybe MIUI is different now... If you can tell me how I'd go about rooting the Global MIUI 6 ROM, I might just give it another shot!

Hi,
as Valdimir already stated, just flash the superuser zip and thats it. Btw. we are currently on MIUI v8 and v9 is around the corner. I do not want to bash CM. It is surely a good room, but I would not choose nor recommend it over a nice and stable miui rom. In fact I wonder why people do not buy the oneplus device, if they plan to use it with CM. It has almost the same specs.

I'm not bashing CM neither. I just don't recommend it as dailg driver yet. And probably never due Xiaomi keeping larg part of their code close-sourced. And as I am concern, CM will die in few days (31st December). LineageOS is too far away in the future for me. A new infrastructure must be found, Cyngn paid developers must be replaced, a new fund source be found. Personally I don't see LineageOS as same level of functionality as CyanogenMod anytime soon. Time will tell.
I can't tell anyone "Hey! Install CM14.1! It's amazing! Well...is not perfect yet...but hopefully all the bugs will be fixed and camera will work as same quality level as MIUI in the remaining 5 days.
Hello XDA
I know there is no such thing as the best ROM but I was hoping to do a little cheating and save my self some reading and get some opinions on what would fit me the best.
I use my phone as a business phone and thus my battery is dying constantly. I got ALOT of SMS and my phone is constantly slowing down. I want something that won't seem like a old device.
I want to root to install a new ROM and battery tweaks. Here are my requirements:
MUST be stable
Smooth
Good battery life
I want something I don't have to constantly tweak. With my note 4 I essentially changed so much that at the end it became such a nuisance trying to keep modding etc. I want to set this up and forget about it, unless needed.
Thanks !

I understand where you are coming from, but from a practical point of view, if someone recommended a ROM, you may find your experience different from theirs. Happens all the time. Second, it's a good idea to read first. I just got this phone. All I have done is read threads here at xda. Not even so much ROMs, but reading about the phone. This step alone has saved me from myself in the past. Makes it easier to troubleshoot problems.

I agree. I have tested enough roms to conclude that for the 3T there's no point in trying to find something better than stock
Perhaps only something purely based on oxygen os, but more debloated, like freedomOS
basically it doesnt matter, 99% is all placebo.
TugaPower is out-of-box really good, which is LineageOS with some small mods (Viper4Android Audio mod ie.)

good battery life, camera comparable to oxygen os, stable and fast rom , theme option for people who don't use substratum theme engine
Beta with Magisk for root and a kernel of your choice. Get some performance and battery benefits from the kernel (if that's the type you decide to flash). Debloat it. Use Greenify and BetterBatteryStats to eliminate wakelocks.

Smooth, stable and substratum suppprt
I guess stock is the best choice here for you. It has no additional battery hungry features like viper but is still stable. You may consider flashing a kernel instead and I would hardly recommend you to read into them since that's the best way to get to know to new kernels.

Hello XDA
I know there is no such thing as the best ROM but I was hoping to do a little cheating and save my self some reading and get some opinions on what would fit me the best.
I use my phone as a business phone and thus my battery is dying constantly. I got ALOT of SMS and my phone is constantly slowing down. I want something that won't seem like a old device.
I want to root to install a new ROM and battery tweaks. Here are my requirements:
MUST be stable
Smooth
Good battery life
I want something I don't have to constantly tweak. With my note 4 I essentially changed so much that at the end it became such a nuisance trying to keep modding etc. I want to set this up and forget about it, unless needed.
Thanks !

I would say oos..if u want a flawless stock experience with better battery life, use freedom os..
I personally use oos open beta 12( rooted with magisk) with elemental x kernel..it gives me good battery and flawless performance..apps like substratum and viper 4 arise works fine..
Thanks for all the replies. I tried out RR and had an issue with the WiFi dropping - since this was a business phone I decided not to flash a custom ROM. I am now on OOS open beta, the latest one. Loving the parallel apps feature!
Now to get into theming and modding. I've got the basics down already like greenify, BBS.
Any recommendations on rooted apps? What have I missed in the last year or so
Hey guys I'm using a mi 8 for three days now and I'm sick of the bad ram management of the MIui 10 globe..tried everything.. I read a few meanings but I wanted to ask again:
Is the ram management really that better in the EU Rom? Because this socks so hard right now.. This would be the only reason for me to unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Thx in advance guys. Best wishes.

I don't think that xiaomi.eu has better ram management. It based on China miui rom with multilingual and Google play services. If you want to stay on miui add apps to autostart and lock these apps at recent apps. If you want to better ram management just try any custom rom based on aosp or los

yes, it's absolutely better. I use it and I switched my parents who are in their mid 70's over to Xiaomi EU and they like it better to. My dad who knows absolutely nothing about about phones, computers or any kind of tech said that to him it feels smoother.
Since 8.15 Xiaomi .EU have adapted Miui 11 apps into the build, I made posts about this in the Best rom section with screenshots.
Personally, I like that there are no ads whatsoever, and that battery life is incredibly good. Especially when the Miui 11 extreme saving function is enabled. This mode limits the device to 9 apps and I havent charge my phone since about 5 days ago, and still have plenty of battery left. Granted, as a test I did not use my usual apps such as Youtube, Twitter, XDA, Reddit. But, I still used it for calls, messenger, hangouts, and reading the news.
Its like anything, it's up to the user. Some people prefer stock, some prefer AOSP, and some prefer custom stock roms such as Xiaomi.EU. There is graph of a recent poll here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/development/index-roms-kernel-recoveries-tweaks-t3853178
Try it, if you don't like it then you have the option to go back. FYI, if you stay on stock you can sign up for early access to official Miui 11 apps , in the settings of the updater. Next to apply for early testing of android Q /Miui 11 before its available. probably in November.
