There's this 2 versions of Redmi 5 Plus ...
The 4gb version worths the invested money?
My doubts are:
- The 3gb ram can handle reopening browser (mainly Opera to me but could be Chrome aswell just for the sake of testing) without reloading the webpages each time??? If so please tell me..
- Should I choose the 4gb ? It has some other major improvements over the 3gb ram ?
I just don't want to waste money for no significant improvements. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
I think it's more important 64gb storage than 4gb of ram
For me 32gb it's not enough.
There are many videos showing the miui memory management problems on YouTube. (look at the comparative VS videos).
3gb is fine with stock Android. But miui has very bad ram management. It closes background apps much faster than stock Android. So, if you need multi-tasking it's advised to go with the 4gb version.
(4gb on miui seems worse than 3gb on stock.)
I'm on 4gb and happy with it so far.
Edit: That being said, if you come back to your browser after open perhaps 4 or 5 apps you should be fine with 3gb. But get the 4gb to be on the safe side. The price difference is only 20 bucks anyway, so definitely worth it).

It would be nice if I get paid in dollars, lol.. 20$ turn into 100 R$ (my local currency) .. comparable to 100 dollars to someone who lives abroad. It worths the investment anyway..
I have a Xiaomi Mi Note 2 (but it fell off to the ground yesterday and stopped working :crying .. Before I had a Lenovo Zuk Z2.. both with 4gb ram... I ditched MIUI in favor of Resurrection Remix .. What I can remember is that disabling MIUI Ram Management in settings it can hold a lot of apps in memory.. but as I said, my experience was not with 3gb ram..
Those comparison videos are not clear if they disabled the MIUI Ram Management.. so it would probably hold the apps opened in background (even with 3gb ram)... With 4gb it's garanteed to do the job..
If anyone here with 3gb ram can tell us your experiences regarding ram management and disabling that option, I would appreciate..
For those who are in doubt over prioritizing memory VS storage.. I would go for memory.. as the storage is upgradeable (with sd card).. memory is not.. and it gives you more time range to spend with the chosen device :good:

3gb version using since few months and it's quite good, miui memory optimization disabled by default in newer version.
Also I am using moded miui rom which is super fast as compare to stock miui.
As far as I know browser sometimes reload but it's speed is quit fast so I didn't noticed any difference till yet.

Dear seems rom post has been deleted don't know the reason but the rom was super awsom May be some one have its link today I accidentally deleted the rom other wise will upload on some sharing site.
been using the 3gb for some time now... it good for multitasking. 4gb is an overkill. you should go with the 4gb variant mostly because its 64gb memory, I don't think you'll notice a performance difference in because of the increased ram, tho it's always nice to have more ram; you never know when you might actually need it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

can you recommend themer's theme that at least a bit more operable for everyday use, for my mini pro?
btw, what is your custom rom? does it have unusual theme? i like MIUI, but still didn't get the best ROM performance for my taste.
Worked fine on my old HTC Desire S with 768MB of RAM. I think it will work fine on your newer phone with 1GB of RAM.

* I didn't try Themer yet, but I am sure that it is Amazing
as my Ace plus resolution is : 320 x 480 pixels which is not supported by themer yet
but I applied some of MyColorScreen themes manually, some were great some were soo laggy
* I use Inspiration ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952839
It was a great improvement for me over the original one in Visual Style and Performance
Not sure if the deference is comparable to other devices' ROMs or not

well I have a Gsmart Roma R2, which with 480*800 resolution just passes the bar of support. It has 1GB of RAM and Themer works solidly even with more complex themes. I have not seen lags in the system (unless some game like Temple Run 2 was still on in the background)

Well, if you take into account how much RAM is actually reserved by the system (which varies phone to phone depending on add-on UIs, android versions and such), how much is taken by the apps and services running in the background (like sync account, weather, news, mail, facebook, twitter,... you get the drift). It might not be enough at all... Plus you have to take widgets into account. The more complex and the bigger amount of them running constantly takes up some memory, too.
I have noticed that Themer always takes about 40MB on my phone and that is not very light weight. I am comparing it to the last phone I had that was an entry level with amazing 256 MB of RAM so 40MB consumption would have been a killer for it. The launchers I used on it were maybe a bit less flexible when it came to theming (since I am a greedy guy and would not pay for the pro versions;o]]]) but they were still recommended by mycolorscreen for some of the builds and, if I remember correctly, they took somewhere between 11 and 17MB only.
That said, even if I have all connections (besides radio of course) turned off, I sometimes experience a slight lag with 1GB RAM. Though the phone is definitely not a high end wonder machine so I did not have huge expectations of it. The fact that it features vanilla android with few apps pre-installed and no UI modifications probably adds to the speed it runs at and that keeps me well satisfied.
So, gaming or no gaming, in the end it all comes down to the usage of the phone. If you do not play but you use many different apps on your phone (especialy if they have a background service using your internet connection), 1GB may still be not enough for you...
Hi,
I used to love my Kenzo 2 gb version, untill I found out that his 1,8 gb of ram are so so low. But, is that true?!
I mean 2 gb are the minimun requirement for MM or NG I think, but with miui, miui port, NG based rom (didn't try oreo, or lineage MM), custom kernel, anything the ram management is really really bad.
After only two days of usage, free ram became 200mb or even 100mb with no social media app (just telegram and instagram with no notification allowed) or anything. Doze, greenify, clear ram or not clear it, doesn't change the situation, used ram increase day by day untill the phone is laggy and unusable.
So you have to restart the phone at least every two day. It's crazy today.
On custom ng roms the situation is a bit better but on miui, damn, the ram is so full that sometimes I can't even open the keyboard or camera.
Every 2 gb phones has this issue? is an MM/NG problem? or is a kenzo problem? is there something I (or we) can do to menage ram more efficently (I don't want free ram, I want a ram used in the correct way).?
thank u
Very good question, i suggest you make manual tweaks to lmk (low memory killer), it has helped my rn3 2gb multitask better on oreo
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
I have too faced that problem. It's mainly due to ROMs. Some ROMs have lag no matter which kernel you use or how much tweak it. I have literally tried each and every custom rom which are updated and found only some ROMs which have less noticable lag. Default miui rom, aex, RR by movzx, nos some builds and Oreo, and slim rom. On other rom I tried different kernel and when tweaked it to max but still lagged as hell. Even opening dialer app sometimes froze the system leave aside heavy gaming. This is really serious issue on 2gb because of which we are restricted to certain ROMs.
I too have a 2GB kenzo, but never had such problems...currently using NOS Oreo and it is fluid & fast. Same on miui.
Right now system occupies around 700MB + around 400MB apps, rest is available. Never had RAM problems myself...luckily.
Buy MI device unlock bootloader next day > Flash custom ROMs > RIP ****UI
That is the main reason why I've changed my Kenzo 2gb. I wasn't able to use miui at all with this phone, app killing and lagging was a daily basis. So I used the most Ram friendly rom with this phone, but still keeping more than 3 apps in the memory was a problem.
Idk, but maybe it's because of the x64 architecture (similar to pc, this architecture uses more ram). I had many phones with 32gb and x32 architecture and ram was never an issue.
So trust me, I've tried everything to improve the ram efficiency, but not much has changed. The only solution for me to change the phone.

Ram to sd for konzo
Does ram to sd like some app works really i havent rooted my phone still on stock miui reply soon... I also face ram management problem on my kenzo 2gb
i have around 400-500 mb of free ram, i'm using greenify often and set background process limit to 4.
i uninstalled every apps that not really used and yeah less lag noticed
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

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.

Definitely not. 4GB would have been better, but 2GB should be enough for light ROMs and light use.
Please check what apps you are using.
Kick Facebook and other "always in background" apps from your device.
Use the original MIUI ROM or LineageOS.
Maybe try to avoid the Google Services.
Backup your favorit apps and don't install the Google Apps with the LineageOS ROM.

Restarting the phone will fix the problem temporarily for the next 10-12 hours
Is it still possible to increase the RAM size of the Poco F1? I have the 6gb/128gb variant and I want to have maybe 2 to 4gb more RAM. I read around that it can be done with a swap file on older phones but I already tried that and even added up to 6gb but it doesn't seem to get used. Is there a custom ROM or magisk zip that can be used for that? My phone currently runs on Corvus with NGK.
The reason why I want more RAM? Egg NS. My phone frequently runs out of RAM and the game force closes.
Thanks!

What are these apps and games you use?
How do you fill the entire memory?
I switched to LineageOS + NGK because it's more stable. So far I only have DamonPS2 and Egg NS installed after flashing the ROM. Had no problems with DamonsPS2 even with stock ROM. Anyway, I said before the app in question is Egg NS, a switch emulator. The app needs 8gb RAM so the Poco F1 is short of 2gb that's why it force closes randomly. I get smoother framerates compared to stock but then I still run out of RAM.
Well, short of swapping the DRAM modules for bigger ones it would be impossible, and even then who knows if it would work?
Although now that you've posted this question, I'm left wondering if anyone has successfully done this… I know that Scotty from Strange Parts (and others) have swapped NANDs for bigger storage, but RAM I've never seen.
I think ram is included in the SOC, which means cpu, gpu, controllers, everything else will be also replaced if someone were to upgrade ram, basically changing the core of the phone.
I'm trying to make it work like this one. A really old post from 2012 so I doubt it'll still work for Android 10.

In that case why don't you try zRAM instead? Depending on the kernel your zRAM (or swap, for that matter) capabilities may differ, but give it a go!
IDK about other kernel utility apps, but EX Manager has the options.
Ok I'll give that one a try. Just tried Roehsoft RAM expander and it still works but the game runs really slow when it's already using the swap memory. At least it doesn't force close now. lol
