Hi.
can anyone recommend me a stable ROM with minimal RAM footprint for mido? Stock Android takes at least 1GB RAM in all cases (out of my 3.5GB), though in usual cases it's more like 2GB, leaving me with only 1.5GB free mem for applications.
Thanks,

If you want aggressive RAM management, you should go back to MIUI
If the ROM has either LineageOS Privacy feature or AppOps from AospEX, you can limit the app's background processes
Android "System" usually occupy 1-1.2 GB of Ram. You cant just limit that.
Besides, what are you worrying about when you have less RAM as usual. Does it lag or random app crashes?

I don't need aggressive RAM management, just that the base OS doesn't need as much as 1GB. Desktop system with Debian Stretch and all its corresponding modules and libraries with KDE 3.5 doesn't require even half of that.
No I don't experience any crashes, but I need the extra RAM for ramdisk and it doesn't help when the base OS is so needy

RAM MANAGER
IT IS NOT MY WORK, all credits goes to Juwe11
COMPATIBLE WITH ICE CREAM SANDWICH
REQUIREMENTS
Android 2.1+
Root
SUPPORTED DEVICES
All Android devices which have RAM 64+ (and more)MB
ABOUT
This application was made for making RAM of all android phone to the best optimization. This application improves perfomance of your phone in all directions. Switching between applications is very fast, your system will be smoothness as never before. You can fully use your multitasking and you still have as much memory as you need.
FEATURES
Balance - Option which makes your RAM to the best optimization, this option is for everyday using when you use your phone for the most functions and you want have fast phone without lags.
Balance (with more free memory) - This option is on the same base as balance, but this option should be advantageous for users who have less RAM than 512 MB. This option makes your RAM to the best optimization with more free memory but with a bit less multitasking.
Balance (with more multitasking) - This option is on the same base as balance, but this option should be advantageous for users who have more RAM than 512 MB. This option gives you more multitasking.
Hard Gaming - Option which stabilizes your RAM for playing the hardest games. Use this option for games which lags on your phone. Your games will be smoothness and without lags. Play GTA 3 and other heavy games without lags.
Hard Multitasking - Option for users which are really hard working on their phones. You can have a lot of running apps with fast switching between them and without lags.
Default (Samsung) - Default settings by Samsung, this settings also use phones as LG, HTC, etc.
Default (Nexus S) - Default settings which use all Google phone.
Default -This option reverts your RAM to your default settings, which you had before you install this app.
All Balance options include additional option "Non-killable launcher".
Chosen option is automatically set on each reboot.
You can easily switch between all options without rebooting.
WHY USE THIS APP
This application is the best solution for all who have problem with free memory, with multitasking, with slow swapping between applications or with slow speed of your phone. But I recommend to use this application all who want have better phone, because this application increase speed of your phone and other parameters which depend on RAM as much as never before.
WHAT THIS APP AFFECTS
OOM_ADJ (Out of memory)
Every process has value which gives the kernel a hint, which process it can kill in an OOM (out of memory) situation.
LMK (Lowmemorykiller)
Works with your applications in memory. It affects your multitasking and free memory. But Android works with memory differently than you may be accustomed. Android needs to have running applications in foreground because of fast switching between your applications. It means that it's not good if you have too much more free memory. Your system gives you so much memory as you need.
VM (Virtual Machine)
Works with file cache, amount of data, dirty data in memory. We managed them by setting the SWP(swappiness), VCP(vfs_cache pressure), DEC(dirty expire centisecs), DWC(drity writeback centisecs), DRA(dirty ratio), DBR(dirty background ratio) and drop caches and we found the best optimization of these values to make several option for different using your phone. Basically it controls in general whole system speed, speed of launching applications, browsing files, switching speed through applications, overall process of the application and battery endurance.
DO NOT USE RAM SCRIPTS AND TWEAKS
If you want be really sure that application works, I recommend do not use some RAM script and tweaks. I tested application with RAM script and it worked, but if you want be really sure, do not use those RAM script and tweaks.
FREE VERSION
Free version will have only Balance option.

Can I remove the ones circled in GREEN safely by deleting the apk?
How much memory do we want to keep free at all times?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Why the OS uses so much RAM (Not the cache)?
I know android is caching many apps in RAM for performance, but the actual size of the cache is quite small (less than 200 MB with some apps active). I also know that 200 MB are used for kernel and stuff like that ( for example, the user have 800 MB not 1 GB) but where is used the other RAM. In the first screen shot you can see a red highlight - gor what is that RAM used if not for apps or cache? Aren't the 200 MB unavailable RAM enough? (see the second screen shot).
And why simple apps like opera browser use so much resources? Most android apps use as much resources as desktop counterparts but have very crippled functionality (firefox for android use as much RAM but it doesn't have as many features). On dumb phone ( nokia s40) opera mini would run fine with just 2 MB RAM - not 200 (seriously) and render pages as fast as the sgs3 (but with a cpu with less than 400 MHz and outdated architecture) and surpringly similar features and UI (not crippled even more). Symbian (for example) apps didn't used so much resources but had mostly the same features.
And sorry for the long post!
Hey guys, recently my father got tired of ****ty MIUI and wanted something better for his Mi 5. Since it's not my phone, I cannot test various ROMs and kernels by clean flashing them.
I just need one ROM that I can switch to on his phone from MIUI.
It needs to be 100% stable (he is sick of bugs), needs to have great calling and bluetooth connection, and great battery life.
Please let me know if such ROM exists for Mi 5, and which one is it
(Do you guys face any issues with bluetooth speakers or taking calls via bluetooth in car?)
You can start with jdcteam's aosp. Has been really solid for me.

I've been using LineageOS with 0 problems so far. But it does take some time to set it up that way. For instance, you need to flash the MIUI camera to improve camera performance, and under display calibration adjust the RGB values to 90% to prevent image retention (a problem on MIUI too).
I can confirm that Bluetooth works fine, calling is clear and battery life is good but not better/worse than MIUI. I haven't tried taking calls over a car's Bluetooth.
You should also check out the Xiaomi.eu weekly MIUI 9 builds as they usually fix what Xiaomi broke in their MIUI builds and are actually supported by Xiaomi.

Thank you for the recommendations guys. Are you using the stock kernel or any custom kernel like BB kernel, Nagatobimaru etc?
What is your opinion about AOSPA and RR ?
AOSP Extended all the way. Using it from past 3 months.

Nagatobimaru kernel has terrible battery life for me (like 1h30m SOT even though I was initially excited to try it out because it incorporates EAS). I use LOS stock freq kernel, which removes the underclock of the 32GB Mi5 from 1.8GHz to 2.15GHz but is otherwise just the stock LOS kernel. On this kernel I get between 3-4h30m SOT.
AFAIK LOS is the only ROM with display calibration and all the others have no way to fix the severe image retention which is my main reason for sticking with it. If it doesn't bother you or affect your unit then I can highly recommend AEX which seems to be the ROM 90% of the devs are on.

What do you mean by the image retention issue? And what have you calibrated? As far as I understand, you have just tweaked the RGB values of the screen. Can you tell me your values? I think the same thing can be done via Kernel Adiutor if you are on a kernel that supports KCAL. AFAIK, stock LOS kernel doesn't have it but most ROMs and all custom kernels have it.
What about AOSP by JDC team, it appears very stable with EAS?

Yes, it's the same problem - I am unaware whether this is a software or hardware problem, but you can correct it 100% with software. It looks like lightbleed right around the border of the phone and you can see ghosting of previus apps around the corners (especially on a grey background). It's easy to fix in LineageOS, but I've had trouble in every other ROM I tried so far.

It looks light an orange tinted lightbleed right around the borders of the display and some ghosting of previous apps are overlayed on the current app (especially visible on grey backgrounds). Check the attached image to see what mean, and this is only about 50% of how bad it can get if you don't adjust for it.
Yes I just tweaked the RGB values to 90% (anything more and you can still notice the effect).
I tried using Kernel Adiutor to fix this problem to no avail, using different ROM and kernel combinations. I never checked if the kernel supports KCAL specifically though.
It's been too long since I used JDC's ROM, but if I remember correctly it was stable and fast but lacked essential features at the time (music playback controls, lockscreen torch, display calibration settings). Their Oreo ROM is far ahead of Lineage 15 in in terms of stability though, not that it's DD ready.

Woah thanks for sharing this man, I didn't know about this, can you please share the screenshot of the settings you have made?
I have the same issue and I can't decide which ROM to flash. MIUI 8 is too laggy, MIUI 9 is faster but all apps crash randomly. I will unlock my phone tomorrow (after the stupid 72 hours waiting period) and I am hoping that this discussion will help us decide. Most probably it will be a choice between Xiaomi.eu or LOS.

As someone who recently used both Xiaomi.eu and LOS14.1 I might be able to clear that up.
Xiaomi.eu MIUI9 build is almost identical to MIUI 8. There are a few minor tweaks to the UI such as the task switcher which is now more immersive and the new icon pack. Settings are now more bundled together and ROM/System info is graphically displayed. Split screen multitasking seems to be the only new feature. I haven't experienced a single app crash, but the system animation speed was set way to fast by default and transition animations show tearing each time you switch apps. In short, it's fast but not smooth.
I switched back to LOS quite quickly. The only feature MIUI has that LOS doesn't is Dual Apps, and since I don't use that the choice was very simple. LOS is much smoother and faster, with minimal features on top of AOSP. I enjoy the additions, it doesn't feel bloated or barebones.
If you are going to use LOS, I recommend doing the following:
-If you have a 32GB Mi5, flash the LOS stock freq kernel
-Set the display calibration as per my previous posts
-Activate touch home button, always on fingerprint unlock
-Install Magisk
-Flash MIUI camera Magisk module + OISprop-Magisk
-Flash iYTBP Magisk module
-Flash unified hosts Adblock Magisk module (make sure to select systemless hosts in Magisk settings)
-Install Google camera HDR+
-Use Nova (paid) or Lawnchair (free) as the launcher
That should get you going and solve most if not all annoyances coming from MIUI. You'd be amazed with the quality of Google Camera HDR+! Just check the attached samples (they are all compressed due to Xda but you'll get the point).

I can add all the files you need to a dropbox folder and share the link if that would be easier? I find that the Mi5 is super easy to modify, you shouldn't worry too much. I'll add the firmware you need and GAPPS if that would help you transition.
Yes, AEX is a great ROM with many features. Most Devs seem to be on it (going by their discussions). I haven't found a way to fix my LCD issues on AEX yet, which is the main reason for not using it currently.

You need to run the apk after you flashed the magisk module and rebooted your phone to calibrate the OIS.
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device. So be advised.
Kernel Features:
-CPU Overclocked (BIG cores to 2.01GHz (experimental, i should reduce and / or disable it if too many users notify instability in F5122 (that is my personal device));
-AdrenoBoost;
-Slimbus (Audio bridge) Overclocking;
-WCD9335 HiFi selector and tunnings louder audio at kernel side;
-WSA8810 tunnings for better and louder audio in speaker;
-CRC disabled;
-DTS Eagle sound integration;
-300 Hz instead 1 kHz for kernel timer (saves power);
-Boeffla Wakelock blocker;
-Quick charge tweaks (2100mA constant charging for QC 2.0 / 3.0 enabled chargers, drawing about 1,6 Amps from wall PSU);
-Tunned voltage regulators for CPU and GPU enabling High Power Mode;
-Kernel general optimizations;
-WIP: add klapse and kcal;
-Enable 160 MHz clock in crypto engine for faster crypto operations.
Special thanks to:
@stefanhh0 github user (idk what is the nick here, please, pm me and i add it if you want) for keeping a source with newer mainline (i guess) patches;
@franciscofranco for many commits that help us improving performance and saving power;
Sony AOSP team;
And others that maybe i forgot to tag here but all them are in the github code below:
https://github.com/LuizPauloDamaceno/kernel
Inside the zip that you can download below, you will find the initial release. You should flash it by fastboot and them reinstall magisk if you have it. Also, have two xml files that is a complementing of the audio tweaks in android side, enabling CLSH_LOHIFI mode in the audio processor and tunning volumes. From mic to headphones and speakers. The thermanager is the one that you should install it for improved thermal handle with this kernel. Dont worry, things shouldn't fry, but is not my fault if them fry. As another complemention, i've done a "userdata" partition for users who have 64 GB variants, like me. The AOSP is compilled for 32 GB i guess and we have only half of our full capacity. Flashing userdata (obviously, will erase your data partition and you will loose everything like is done in the first AOSP flashes if you dont do a back-up...) you will also have more free space
Kernel: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Userdata: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
To copy the below files i like to use root explorer app, you can also do by adb. I'm open for suggestion of better apps too
mixer_paths.xml: copy it to /system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths.xml and change permissions to 0644 octal or rw-r-r.
thermanager.xml: copy it to /system/vendor/etc/thermanager.xml and change permissions to 0644 octal or rw-r-r.
The first versions i will not do the automated flashing because are the initial and testing releases, but if my plans goes ok for the next 15 days or in the worst case next month, i can do a twrp flasheable style to make our lives easier. For me, no random reboots, no overheating for normal use and battery stills ok. Report it your experience, i will appreciate to know! =D

It's awesome that you still keep these kernels up to date. Really appreciate the work.
I've been switching between v14 and v33 of your extreme kernels today for GPU testing. Didn't expect to see a kernel for Pie. I hope you'll update the one for Oreo as well, it's always great to see new changes. Thanks again!
Could this one be used with LineageOS 16 Custom Rom by chippa?

So, who tested it the first release? Any observations? soon i will post the second release with some improvements.
I tested the first release on AOSP pie. The battery life is quite good but i needed to set big cores frequency back to 1.8, because the phone heats up a little bit. I also noticed a bug but i don't know if it's due to the rom or to the kernel: sometimes (not too frequently) the system ui force closes without any message. The screen becomes black and after a few seconds it turns on with lockscreen.
Anyway, as wel as in other roms, Whatsapp voice notes are very quiet; can this be solved with mixer path?
Thank you for your effort

When you say voice notes are not very quiet you say about noise or too loud?
About the frequency, yes, the higher frequencies is intended to who wants to play certain games with higher performance or just perform better other applications, but everything has the "dark side". In some AOSP roms (i think all) you have random reboots because the 1.95 GHz is enabled without any overvoltage, so, the clock cannot be sustained by the system and the CPU crashes. I recommend if you want to use these clocks to have a fan in a joystick for example... And if you use is only the daily, use the stock frequencies. =D
About the lockscreen and sysui stop answering, i've also observed this without kernel modifications. So i think can be something from ROM or kernel that isn't related to hardware changes. Can be investigated. For 3 days now that this problem not showing here...

Thanks for the answer. Btw, i meant that voice notes are quiet, so their volume is too low to be heard
Can anyone do a benchmark using antutu and stock 4.9 kernel (not this one) just to compare it? Following screen from next version that I should post soon. With 4.9.224 Linux and many more features.

I took this one a year ago with Omni and 4.9 kernel, I recall performance was terrible on all 4.9 ROMs back then.
On your run I noticed that CPU scores is still lower than stock 8.0 with 3.10 kernel (that one got 46k on CPU and 17k on GPU), but I think it's better than anything we have currently.
By the way @ParanoidNemo how was the kernel running on AOSP 10?

Been stuck with a lot of work and not tried yet. Will report as soon as I've time to try it.

Interesting, thank you for feedback. Yes... CPU score in 4.9 kernels is lower than 3.10. I think is something related to KPTI mitigations or something else... Concerning you're using OMINI rom... Is the wifi thetering working well? I have troubles with AOSP related with that and i thinks is not related to kernel. Thank you.

I did this run a year ago, haven't tested that yet. I've since switched to Lineage GSI (with Sjll's modified 4.9 kernel), and tethering/hotspot works fine.
Just flashed on latest AOSP pie by vknecht and it's work like a charm. No major bugs by far, rom is stable and fast, phone doesn't get really hot even without underclock. Im staying on it because ViPER4Android working with this setup unlike on LOS 16.

Have you some random reboot or not with the aosp9 by vknecht?

Well, random reebots still occur unfortunately, but most on demanding tasks. I'm not an expert, but I don't think this is a kernel issue.
