Very very poor ram management
TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE IDEA OF BUYING THIS 3GB and 4GB MOBILE VARIANTS
I bought 3gb variant, and the multitasking - ram management simply sucks. Yes because the first 2 to 3 apps in the recent apps list were also refreshing while swapping between. This is worse. Its been 2 weeks and I am thinking to sell this. Bought 3gb for the time being until oneplus 6 release. But because this is much worse that I could not even bear this weak ram management till oneplus 6 release

Before selling the device, try the following setting, 1st tap on the build several times to reveal the developer option, then head to the developer option scroll all the way down and turn off memory optimization and miui optimization. That way u should have better multitasking capability

I paid a little more for a 4GB version and really ability to keep many apps in background is good.
How is indicated above MIUI optimization is a task killer to allows user to use faster some less critical apps (with minor RAM usage) and kills apps in the order from which consumption is higher.
But finally RAM optimization depends mostly in how the firmware implements this feature, some kernel correctly tweaked can help on this.
So it´s not a hardware related issue with 3GB it can runs better with some improvements in the software.

4GB/64Storage 5 star

6/64gb 5star 30 apps running without refreshing

Well, I think its the fault of miui but not the device, i am using liquid remix, and I can maintain 10+ apps in 3gb variant.

Only 1.5 GB free of 4. Im using Rom xiaomi eu, but original global rom is the same with ram

What about another stats like battery life, performance. Is there a noticeable difference in favor of xiaomi.eu?

For me is the same, no more battery life, no more perfomance, no more ram.

oh wow i thought it does ,and yea my quadrant runs 1300 , when i do it 2nd time
always ignore the first results on those benchmark apps
but i agree that people need to stop obsessing with these things, data2sd could give you high scores but the phone would lag so, if you can cheat it doesn't mean anything.
I used data 2 sd, and got a quadrant score of 2600, but phone started to lag. don't worry about the score, i mean, once you've seen yours get that high, the novelty wears off
Sent from my X10 TripNMiUI using XDA Premium App
I agree. Have achieved 2839 with data2sd and 1603 without, but you have to spend 5 minutes changing all your settings about to get this plus it burns through your battery. No one would actually use the phone like that. And you have to keep lots of memery free so either few apps installed or all on SD and it takes ages for them to appear again on reboot.

And you don't really notice any difference actually using phone so bit pointless.
I only use quadrant now to compare between roms that are both set to my personal preferences to compare performance.

I agree that benchmark scores are not important in everyday use and that u can have great scores and laggy phone, BUT his question stil stands.
Why does he get low scores at same setup that most people have graet score?
Nevermind the benefits of high scores, what is the reason?
3 things....
1) he needs to close useless apps ...
2) move quadrant to sd card (with app2sd)
3) run benchmark 2 times ... 2nd result should be around 1300 on custom roms ...
if you got still really bad performance, maybe your sd card is slow/"old"

1. i have A LOT of running apps, widgets
2. i do not use app2sd and data2sd
3. i do run quadrant 2 times
4. my SD is stock class 2
on Wolf's CM 6 my score (Quadrant advanced) is from 1350 to 1550
_
and another strange thing is:
my work mate have x10. we bought it from the same operator. he bought it 2 months after i did.
We both, at the same time, installed same custom ROM (Wolf's CM 6). We followed the exact same procedure (after SD format and repair via PC Companion) and without any exta apps (only Quadrant) instaled i have much better Quadrant scores, he has some issues that i dont have, my battery lasts almost twice longer.
Strange, is'nt it?
But, on the other way, he has BMW M5 and I have Mazda 2, so I think this is fair.
it all depends on how you did your initial charge for battery. did you use it right away, or charge it right away for 5+ hours? ask your mate what he did

As far as I understand electonics, battery condition can have influence on battery life, but not on benchmark scores when both of batterys are completly full and on the same setup.

Antutu scores

Before I bought my L21 device, I had looked around on the internet and I had found some videos where this device's Antutu score was around 44560. I've check my device score and it is 36359. Where is the truth? How much is your devices' Antutu scores?
Mine was also in the same range as yours. 35901. The 3D score and RAM really were low compared to other budget phones I'm evaluating like the Blu Life One X.
5X was 2594 for 3D. Blu was 5419. WTF?
yeah i think this is a realy bad score. my score is as low as your.
But i own a MotoXPlay with Snapdragon 615 and the 3d Score there is over 8000 Points

L24 with similar scores 36389, 3D only 2554, RAM at 3807. I expected better. Had open a few apps when running the test, maybe that had an impact.
Just took the test, my results:
3461, 3D
15795, UX
13828, CPU
3535, RAM
35619, Total
Was that with or without smart power saving? I heard that it seems to add more lagg than time..
PS thinking of buying to replace my dying gt-i9300 (galaxy s3)
Just tested and got 36018. Seems like it should be like 5-10k higher. Maybe custom ROMs will help some.
Also, since we have the kernel source and everything, won't we be able to overclock it some?
34230 for me.
3D score of 2494.
Turned on Airplane mode:
35144
3D: 2646

I rooted the phone and used the debloat script to get rid of unnecessary apps. I couldn't find the power-savings setting, can someone point me to where that is? Don't know if rooting it and running that script got rid of it.
Thanks

Yes, the debloat script removes the phone manager app...which I believe does the battery saving "magic."
What? My "hundred-year-old" Galaxy S4 mini gets around 40000 points (CM13, f4ktion kernel, no overclocking). Unbelievable!
There must be something seriously wrong with those first release ROMs of 5x.
this is exactly why we need a stock rom that's not bloated.

Our 2GB RAM are enough? Z5C future proof ?

hey,
as you see the Z5C barely came out year ago
and semi heavy game, left the phone with about 10% of RAM memory
(no other apps open) the only app that open ,is small app that checks free RAM in real time
also (swap)ZRAM was about 10% , when i left the app, and return the main screen again the game was closed and you could the see the icons reloading and the ram jumped again, that why i use my old phone and real time small app ... had to reload the game again....
anyway year after that the device didn't move at all 0RAM (my old sony) and also when sony uses Zram the device relatively slow , and had to replace the device
i know swap(zram size can be changed when rooted.. but again...much slower than RAM (i've tried it on my previous sony it help till i got new device)
in short! how many time you think we have till we need to replace our Z5C?

What would you replace it with? There is no competition and even Sony gave up on compact flagships.
yup X is 5" inch, although is not by match , my previous sony was 3.7inch",
another reason why probably Z5C my last phone from sony along with overheating ,software\hardware random bugs\problems ,
xperia X is 3GB and full HD screen compared to Z5C
beside that z5c is better According to basemark X, and anutu ) only X performance is really better overall
if z5c at least had 3GB RAM it was better\future proof , i guess ill need to replace again after 2- 5 years
Just use AOSP-based ROMs with Kernels and mod the **** out of them
(e.g. add vnswap, zswap, ..., if necessary even UKSM or KSM) and other stuff,
that should be enough for at least the next few years ...

As far as I see in these forums, we will never have stable, fully working AOSP roms. There is simply not enough interest in z5 line, also after about a year since the release. You and few other developers are the ones bringing features but there's still a lot of work to do and the phone is already 1year old. This is only my impression and I hope it is a wrong one as i really like AOSP customizations.
But for now I think we can't compare stock with AOSP in terms of usability.
Regarding the topic, i also thought about using Zram to keep more apps opened in background. I also felt this need particularly when playing games.
Debloat the rom and use Greenify donated, that will always help with the memory.

Daily driver for oneplus 2 [DISCUSSIONS]

To avoid messing up development threads with posts like "What is your current daily driver rom for oneplus 2? What's the most stable rom for oneplus 2? Which rom gives you best battery life on your oneplus 2? etc..." I create this thread so you guys can talk about your current daily driver rom for this phone. Why you choose it? What is your experience with it? How is battery life, stability, etc..
Let constructive discussions begin!
My daily driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69267890&postcount=968
The smoothest and fastest rom I've ever used on my phone so far! It's quite stable as well. And it's Nougat! I love halogenOs 7 !:good:
Why do you reserve an post in an discussion thread? lol
at the moment I use DU with Bensschold's kernel. Imo, its performance is lower than slim6 and it has some freezes/crashes. I'm not planning on changing until xposed gets released for nougat. I recommend slim6 rom with boeffla or bensschold's kernel. Excelent performance, even with viper4android and screen off. (I get a lot of stutters on DU)
CM14 by @Seraph08 and Benschhold kernel give me best SOT and battery. ( stock kernel too)

In my opinion best ROM: [email protected] from 03/10/16
Best performance by really good battery life

But the most important question is "when could we expect 7.1"

H2OS (009) is my daily driver. Rock solid, a lot of little tweaks and options that are rock stable af well.
Although, it did take over 2 weeks to get used to the bottom swipe notification bar.....

Well, afterall, i dont think device with 12GB or more RAM need RAM plus feature to begin with. This feature is a gimmick for lower range device, so that brand can market it to look like it have bigger memory.
