I flashed MIUI 8 and i was highly disappointed with xiaomi. The user experience was very very bad.
ISSUES
1.Huge battery drain. For me this reason is strong enough to hate MIUI 8. Screen on time is pathetic to say the least. No Google play services wakelock or any 3rd party wakelocks.
2.Temperature.The phone is unusable after 5-6 minutes of continuous usage. While in kitkat with God's kernel i sued to use my phone continuously for 30 - 40 minutes without any issues.
3.Storage space. I lost 2 gb more. And that came under miscellaneous usage. So in kitkat i used to have around 12 gb usable space. But after upgrading to marshmallow i have hardly 10 gb available.
4.Wifi issue. Frequent wifi problems. Ex i noticed that sometime i was able to connect to a Hotspot but unable to access internet. But the same was possible with my brother's redmi note 3.He had no problem accessing the Internet.
NOTE-I did a clean flash. Full system wipe. And storage wipe too.
After facing all these issues i finally reverted back to kitkat miui 7.And with God's kernel my phone is a beast.
Marshmallow can wait. I am eagerly waiting for a Marshmallow supported MIUI custom kernel.
Guys plz share your views.

I read some comments that they used to get 8-9hrs of SOT, some said they could manage to get 10 or more hours on SOT, so ive been thinking on creating thread to get some info on what version of miui is the best for battery backup, ive used miui7 and yeah i got 8hrs of SOT back then, miui8 is pretty fast on battery drain, so can i have something on you guys? what version is good on battery backup?
I don't think there's a simple answer to your question. Everyone's use of the phone is different.
Playing games uses more battery than browsing or watching YouTube.
4G uses more battery than 3G.
3G uses more battery than WiFi.
Bad mobile signal uses more battery than good signal.
Setting the brightness higher uses more battery than setting it low.
Overclocking uses more battery than running at stock speed.
MIUI 8 uses more battery than MIUI 7.
So there is really no way to objectively compare SOT between users.
I never managed to empty the battery of my phone in one day, no matter what I was doing.
And as long as you come home in the evening and still have battery left, you shouldn't worry about other people's screen on times.
But do you even need to use MIUI? I have used both MIUI 7 and 8, for many months and I used to think that the user experience was pretty great till I installed an Android 7 rom here from XDA, Slim 7. Only then I understood what a great experience this phone can offer. I have been using Nitrogen OS for close to two months now, and not only does it have all the customization options I need, my phone is smooth as a flagship and I get 10-11 hours of screen on time regularly, with heavy use.
You could use a Marshmallow ROM if you really need a perfectly stable camera, but the camera works 9 out of 10 times anyway.
Custom ROMs are better in every way than MIUI.
Now im on miui7.5.30 battery back up is pretty good. I love aosp based rom but suddenly my fp breaks on NOs, dont know why, since then i get bootloop when i installed custom roms so i settled now in miui
I love aosp to but alarm dont work when turn off phone. And that is important to me.
I've enjoyed my XT910 for a couple of years, but quit using it about 3-4 years ago. Now I want to use it with a secondary SIM, perhaps as a WiFi hotspot while roaming, but I find the speed appalling. Every operation takes seconds to show a result. Even unlocking to an SMS notification takes ~4 seconds.
Using MoKee 5.1 on a secondary ROM slot, I think. It's always on charge (as battery is slowly dying) and the only active app is PushBullet, used to see check my SMSs on other devices.
Does it make sense to invest in a new battery and keep this phone as my secondary? Or should I just get a cheap Chinese one, like Ulefone U007?
I don't expect miracles, just maybe using it as a light travel phone, mobile hotspot, speedcam notifier and occasional (once every two months) browsing. Should I maybe switch to a stock-based ROM that lives on the main slot? Get rid of slots altogether?
The phone lived some nice times, travelled around the world, edited and uploaded DSLR pictures with OTG, provided navigation to rickshaw drivers, was a portable desktop for a while, then a retro-gaming machine. Maybe it just wants to be retired...
Motomizer can help overclock it so it doesn't seem as slow. I haven't maxed mine out, just ramped it up about midway.

I've bought a new battery and installed Mokee 5.1, upgraded later to 6.0. Battery life is ok-ish, but not much of a difference. I've measured the old battery to still have 1400-1500Ah, the new one is ~1700mAh. I suspect the poor battery life was due to some hanging processes.
Anyway, with Mookee 6.0, the phone is unbearably slow. I have whatsapp, viber, google maps and nothing else. LMK has been set to very aggressive.
When I receive an SMS, it takes 5-15 seconds for it to load, if it doesn't FC. When I unlock the phone (after it sat for a while) it takes at least 10s to come to life.
My suspicion is that there is high memory usage (Android reports 30-70MB remaining) which causes everything to be evicted from RAM. Not sure what can be done, except install an older android version. I thought the newer ones had better memory and battery management.
Android OS - 285MB
Android System - 99MB
Google Play services - 75MB
System UI - 54MB
Phone - 36MB
Viber - 35MB
Messaging service - 35MB
Whatsapp - 33MB
.......
Free memory 28MB
Not sure what I should do: switch to an older Android version? if so, which ROM would be more responsive but still frugal? Do not update apps as newer ones eat more memory? Give up?
I've already half-given up and ordered a cheap Blackview A7, but I really liked the Moto as a travel/backup phone.
Hi,
I own a Redmi Note 3 pro Snapdragon (KENZO) (2GB RAM version) from 2 years ago. At the start I didn't need to use any custom ROM because the phone was fast enough to play games and use every app without lag problems, but on the last 7/8 months, my phone started to feel laggy when I watch some videos on Chrome or Facebook, or when I open webpages with many ads (I use Adaway and Adfree already).
The thing is, lately not only feels laggy, but it closes the app when I demand more resources to my phone, which didn't happen months ago, and I need to try open it again and search the content praying for not beging closed again, it makes me really upset. Right now I'm using Liquid Remix ROM, but I have tried 3 or 4 more ROMs before this one, and I have never found one that fits the low resources my phone has.
I think the problem is the RAM, because with every app in background closed, I don't reach the 400MB free of RAM, so I can't even play games without lag.
I would appreciate if you expert guys tell me about a ROM which has this aspect very developed, I know that there are not better ROMs than another, every ROM has its huge work behind and I don't pretend to infravalorate the work of any of them, but I really need a ROM which consume low recurses for working on idle, so I can use my phone without having this special problem.
Could you please help me?
I know Citrus-CAF was one of the best options for 2GB kenzo, but it hasn't been updated in like half a year, and it's still Android N, but if you have no luck with other ROMs might as well try that.
I have been using Nitrogen OS 8.1 for a couple of months now and I can say that it is worth flashing. The UI is buttery smooth, performance is decent (PUBG feels heavy though) and battery life is good.
I'll try NitrogenOS right now, I know that ROM is famous and I've never tried it for a long time. Thanks for your help brothers

Just look at this SS
For all the Kenzo 2gb ram users please read this. Who want stable miui 10 i suggest you install Official miui 10 8.8.16 developers ROM it's the best Miui ROM I have ever used so far .it's smooth and it's ram management is also awesome and with all the normal apps installed such as Facebook whatsapp and all. I can easily switch between 5-6 apps which is awesome for a Miui ROM.
I too was so much frustrated from changing ROM coz all Custom roms didn't have the look and customisation such as in Miui, but due to my 2gb ram almost every miui ROM was unstable for me.
After installing the ROM everything is in stock moreover.i haven't even rooted my phone then also I got upto 5:30 hrs Screen on time with 20% left my usage was full time 4G .I feel so blessed I found this ROM now I can have the awesome look of Miui along with full stability and ram management, I'm a regular XDA visitor but I never comment or reply , but for all the 2gb kenzo users this might be very helpfull.Sorry for my English if I spelled something wrong.
In sort Features of this ROM which I liked very much are
1) Best ram management ever I got on a Miui ROM (especially for 2gb ram user)
2) Very good Battery life ( Easily can reach upto 6hrs Sot with 4g , it's more than enough for my 2yrs old Kenzo)
3) Almost full stable even though it's a Developer ROM ( I didn't faced any issue till now)
4) Liquid smooth UI , no lag ever
Hope it Helps Someone..
By the way I'm on stock kernel and unrooted right now
I'm posting this on every Thread cuz I want everyone to know about it and fix there ram management.

Hi, some curtana(redmi note 9s/9 pro(india)) phones received the MiUi 12.5 update, and since its possible to change from Global to EEA/India/whatever can you provide feedback on the user experience?
Is it stable?
Battery drain?
Dual sim working, Second Space?
Memory management?
What apps could you remove/disable?
Nothing special ram management is worst and its laggy when you try to use phone faster then normal and battery drain is screen on 7-8 hours
Like in miui 11 battery gives me screen on 12-16 hours
Hey,
a few years ago Cyangogenmod was my absolute favorite. But then I learned to love MIUI. With the latest 12.5 xiaomi eu insalled on miatoll you could also throw your phone into the bin. Absolutely slow, laggy and the best stuff for "anti Xiaomi" fans. I cannot understand how xiaomi could mess up their os that bad.
I am now on GSI. Best choise.
I am currently facing many problems. Everything was so smooth when I first bought by this phone but after several updates,it began to lag.I can't play games for more than 30 mins anymore.I know the solution would be to downgrade the miui,so my question is,which miui version is best for this phone for gaming. Another horrible problem I started facing recently is overheating.The fingerprint facility disappeared completely,and just from 5 min of usage,the fingerprint sensor would heat up to around 100 degree celcius. How would you approach this problem?
Find the power hogs and deal with each on a case by case basis. A logging firewall can help you spot them. Debloat the useless apps that are using battery or bandwidth either with a Package Disabler or adb edits. Try temporarily disabling Google play Services, see if that helps.
Disable all carrier, Google and app feedback.
Rule #1 - if the firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be! This N10+ hasn't been updated for over 2.5 years, the current load is over 2 yo and it runs like a bat out of hell. Security simply isn't an issue in real time.
