I have owned a Redmi note 3 for a while (Snapdragon 650 3gb RAM). I couldn't be happier with it. Great design, excellent development community, smoth, great configuration. I am really in love with it.
However... The only thing I hate about it is that it keeps on killing apps running in the background. Every time I switch apps, the cellphone reloads it. For instance when I am browsing in Chrome and then go to Whatssap to check something, then when I go back to Chrome it reloads the app... That turns pretty silly.
I know this has been discussed but I just can't believe this amazing device can't have better ram management.
Is there a workaround I can try to improve this? Like a sort of configuration or something? I am running MIUI. Eu rom with Radon kernel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks bro its works
Hello,
Ive had Lumia 930 last 2 years and before Lumia 800,even before old Huawei Honor and now I got new HTC One M8 (930 display broke). So I want from you guys a help/guide/tips
1. Is it worth of rooting? If yes, what are those bootloader unlocks, S-ON unlocks, etc.? Do I need them, what is the purpose and which order
2. a) If I stay un-rooted, what are best ways to protect/optimize/use as much of the phone as possible?
b) If I root, same as above..(best ways to optimize, etc.)
3. Some general tips/apps for kepping phone "in good health"?
For the few who decide to help me "re-introduce" into Android world, really thanks you
P.S.: English not my native language, I hope you understand anyway

Hey, welcome to Android again and the HTC One M8 community!
1) Rooting your HTC One M8 gives you more privileges and customization's for your device, customs ROMS, Kernels etc. Is it worth it? Sort of, it really depends how much your gonna use it and if your really into Android such as the operating system, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat etc and if you are into getting to know the device in a more customizable way.
2A) The best way to protect the device is to get a nice new shiny but hard trusted case, amazon is a good place to pick one up. As for optimization you can find apps on the Google Play market and on XDA which can help to speed your device up and reduce battery consumption without needing root. Also for use, I am not really sure. Just see how you get along with the phone and try to use it as best as you can and be careful to not let it drop etc.
2B) With root the best way to optimize it would be to look around on XDA for forums regarding this as their are many more people who really get into it. First thing to do is find a decent but good/trusted ROM, if you want pure Android I would recommend the new CM14.1 ROM for your device (found in the android development section.) Kernels are also a good way, they can change everything from clock speed all the way to background tasks when the phone is off, I believe, but do not quote me on that! Other apps can be found on the Google Play store which can help battery with root and speed etc. For the health of the phone, I would advise against not over-clocking the CPU speed, as it reduces the phones life dramatically and bad for the battery, best to keep to pre-built kernel on your choice of ROM to be safe.
3) Best tips are as above really, just look out for dodgy apps and any apks downloaded off market just be careful and make sure their from a reliable source. Also check when your latest security build was on your phone, that is why I recommend the CM14.1 ROM as it has the latest security as its Android 7.1 Nougat. Also have a heavy duty case as mentioned above and keep any eye out for to much over heating.
Hope I helped, if you need anything else do not hesitate to reply to me,

Ohhhh Thank you :angel: , I am glad someone is so nice to me and explain it to me like you
Well, Custom ROMs, I dont plan on using another ROM (stock optimalized/full custom), but Ive seen some good (I think ) one, and for me it seemed like if I ever gonna install ROM, it will be that STeam HTC 10 Port(at least I think it will be Android N when its 10 port..) - What you think about it? Otherwise I think I just stay on stock+root because my logic for it is "if Custom ROM, at least Android N + even better with Sense"
About rooting, I know there is (at least been) Xposed Framework, and from old times, I really liked it, so that would be 1st reason for rooting for me, and 2nd is Greenify - which really helped me on old 500mb RAM phone, but should I use it also for M8? (I am using it right now with non-root mode)
About cleaners, etc. I have Greenify and first 2 days had HTCs Boost+ and Ccleaner but I uninstalled them because Ive seen something about cleaners isn't good for Android (That why I use only Greenify - that's not really a cleaner I think), but you tell me please - Should I stick with Greenify or start using Boost+/Ccleaner/other cleaner?
About case, Ive got one plastic-rubber-like case (Original HTC?) included with phone, and I planned to "upgrade" to Dot View later, so u tell that I should buy an hard-one? Or can I stay with "original case"/Dot View?
Cleaners are OK I guess, but some are bad for the phone, same with RAM boosters. Greenify is different though, it doesn't damage your phone. The HTC one though I guess can be trusted, it seems legit and I would doubt they would release a crappy one! Root with greenify is much better though, a lot better and more control with the app as to be expected with full system root.
As for the case, I really don't know. The dot case won't protect as well as speigen cases etc but does look nice! :good: Its really up to you, I just use a plastic see through one so I can show the scratched One M8 metal body. Planning to get a new phone soon, perhaps the Moto G4 or G4 Plus.

Hello, so I wonder, if there is already any solution, like flashing fix via TWRP for EMUI 5.0 poor ram management? Because performance right now is terrible... If anyone know also about Lineage OS, is it possible to get latest version of it, because Meticulus deleted all, last time I had it, I didn't had contacts, Snapchat camera was bugged, only pics worked, video was like super glitched... Anyone know anything?
Try a factory reset, or root apps like L Speed that do little tweaks to improve performance. I use EMUI 5.0 and find performance to be just great.
Certainly not flagship level, but way way better than many phone in the same price range.
Ram management is terrible for me, often when I open a link over tapatalk and get back to tapatalk it starts from beginning.
Well, coming from an S7E, the major issue I have with the G6 is how slow it is when opening contacts, to apps, to camera. I still have my S7E and everything opens faster on it. I know the SD 821 is quite capable, so it must be the LG UI that's making it slow.
I have a couple of questions,
1) I have the 870DS and looking at the trend I may never be able to root. So can someone who has an US version with a custom rom tell me if it has made the phone any faster?
2) And also does anyone here know at all if the 870DS version has any hopes in future for unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks guys. Cheers.
Unlocking the bootloader no, unless it gets cracked which I doubt. Has not happened since the G4.
Custom roms can make the phone faster because they remove a lot of features and run stock Android but almost always the Camera app will really be bad on custom roms (unless based on stock rom).
I have a Pixel and G6. Pixel is known to be probably the smoothest Android phone to this day.
The G6 does not really lag behind it at all. The animations are smoother on the Pixel but thats about it.
I had some intial lag the first day with the device but thats about it.
If yours is lagging consider a factory reset maybe.
@shri080
Do a factory reset in the settings. This helped a lot of people who have lag issues. There is an extra thread for this.
Do a backup of your apps before doing it!

Have you tried possibly a different launcher?
As well as debloating what apps you can?
Also there's always the options in developer mode that IMO truly help with ram allocation and overall speed.
Yes the LG G6 should be lag free and smooth just like the Google Pixel or the One Plus 3T as they share the same powerful processor. I think atm most non Pixel phones are stuck with just Android 7.0 where as Pixel might be on 7.1.1 since 7.1.1 might be better on performance or smoother than 7.0. Once the amazing LG G6 gets 7.1.1 in the future I guess we should see some difference in smoothness or performance. As for unlocked bootloader or root for the LG G6 or any LG flagships, always get the international version single SIM like the LG H870 which already has custom ROMs and TWRP recovery. I don't think the dual SIM will get bootloader unlocked. LG did great optimization on it's LG UX 6.0 which is fast and smooth and is better than SD 835 or Exynos 8895 equipped Galaxy S8 and it's slow, laggy TouchWiz. Imagine the upcoming LG V30 running on Android 7.1.2 on top of LG UX 6.0 with SD 835 would make it the best favorite Android phone of all time! Go to Settings/Developer Options/tick on "Force GPU Rendering" should make the beast smoother or snappier. If root available try L Speed/Entropy/fstrim apps found on Play Store.
Have you went to developer options and reduced animations, this will make your phone faster

This doesn't really make it faster, just makes animations move faster, which personally looks worse to me.
You must be kidding, the G6 is the smoothest running phone i bought to date. I have the 870DS with around 30 apps installed.
My previous Phones were the Note 2, S5 and Note 4. This is what i call laggdroid, horrible...
No lag here, smooth for me

Okay, so i formatted my phone and set it as a new device instead of restoring apps from the previous device. This has over all made the device a tad bit faster and i am kind of happy about it now. Also, my main issue was, the dialer/contact app would always open almost a second late behind my S7E, after the reset it became a bit faster but i was still not happy, So just tried a third party dialer app and trust me it works like a charm!!! Now the dialer app opens as quick as it does on my S7E Since that's the thing i use my phone mostly for, it was so irritating that it lagged a second or half a second behind my S7E. Thankfully now it's all fine
Also, reducing the animation speed makes it more jerky and ugly and it doesn't really speed up the device at all. Hopefully as and when we get 7.1 update, the UI may be smoother
Android 8.0 will fix all lag and battery issues I'm super sure of it its only a matter of time
I honestly think G6 is pretty smooth, this is coming from S8. There ARE times that it stutter, but it's been the LG way unfortunately. If there's one lag I could remove, it's the camera launching lag.

I believe there's a fix for camera launch lag, you just have to look for it.
Also, Fulmics rom makes this phone faster and smooth as baby's butt, so if you're rooted and would like an amazing OEM-based rom, this is it

I agree, the G6 is already smooth as it is, without root and without a custom ROM but knowing me, I went ahead to install Fulmics ROM & boy oh boy it is smooth.

Hell yeah!
Had it on my G3 and since then i don't even miss stock android roms anymore.
I also find the G6 to be a nice smooth phone. But I also have issues with a slow and laggy dialer app. I don't think it's then phone in that case, I think it's the actual app that isn't properly coded/built. Just doesn't seem that good.
I use Google contacts instead, does the job fine, but i left the stock dialer. I rarely use it, usually make calls from contacts, so the occasional time i DO use it, isn't a big deal.
Hello,
After changing tons of phones in last weeks/months, i finaly got my s5 mini, my dream phone it seems. It is of a perfect size for me and it is very grippy due to rubber back cover. Now i want to improve it as much as i can. I want to stay on stock 6.0.1 rom (unless u see there is any point in downgrading ?). I will first say what i did and then ask what i can do to improve it further.
What i did:
1. turn all animations to 0 in developers options
2. turn off s voice
3. disabled all apps i could that i dont need
4. turned off a bunch of other things i dont need
What i need help with:
1. what else can i do to further improve performance
2. google maps app seems a bit slow. Any way to improve it or is this phone simply to weak
3. any tips for camera, how to take better photos/video, any settings i should change ?
No one ?
Hello,
I personally think its kind of funny that someone says that the s5 mini is their dream phone in 2019. I mean its kind of old and outdated now and while I can of course understand that you like the size of it and the rubber back, there are many alternatives which also dont break the bank. I think without rooting or flashing another Rom, your experience is not going to get better than it already is. The s5 mini is not the most powerful phone you know. Anyways I used a galaxy s5 mini from 2014 untill 2018 and I was never really happy with it. It was always slow and sluggish, though the camera was good for 2014 and what I really liked about it was its ip67 certification, I got into the pool with it xD. I ran it on Android 4.4.2 for most of its live, mainly because I rooted it in 2015 and thus couldnt update to a newer version of Android. But in late 2017 I decided to factory reset and flash a stock Android 5 Rom via Kies. After that I updatet to 6.0.1 Marshmello, but in early 2018 the hole thing was to slow for me and I threw a custom Rom on it. Android 8 but it was in beta and very buggy so I flashed Resurection Remix with Android 7.1.2. It was already way faster and more modern than on the stock Rom. But then I found a Kernel that would let me overclock the cpu from 1.4 Ghz to 1.6 Ghz and the Gpu from 400 mhz to 600 mhz. So i used that Kernel and the phone was actually very useable. The first time in 4 years of ownwership, I was really happy with my s5 mini. I bought a new phone (Honor 9) though only like 6 weeks after flashing the Kernel lol. The Honor 9, after 1 year has never let me down tough and im very very happy with it.
S5 mini G800F
Hi there,
I'm happy with my S5 mini (G800F), but I really need an Dual SIM device with better battery life and will have to get one soon. Battery life is weak point.
I have installed LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2), didn't have success to install Gapps though. Using F-Droid and YalpStore. There are some bugs with the camera (it stops working) but after restart works fine again.
It is an OK device, but a bit slow and with short battery life.
Unfortunately from 2-3 weeks there is a problem with my main microphone and is not the mic itself but some motherboard bad connection or something. Works fine with headset but it is not really convenient
According to some people if one switches Off the LTE the battery life is better.
Instead of Gmaps I'm using HereWeGo, OruxMaps and Sygic - all for free.
About the camera: I am using Open Camera. The camera app of LOS 14.1 is really plain Of OpenCamera I like the DRO option, but it takes a few seconds to generate the picture.
Hope you will find the best way to use your S5 mini. It is very cute device with so many advantages like notification LED with RGB, ambient light sensor, NFC, IR, AMOLED, small size and weight... I will miss all of this in such a small and ergonomic package.
I understand your point. There are no more under 5" devices with normal specs. So sad...
Best regards!
Hi, i have this device now. ¿Which rom its the most stable and smooth?

I can't say for sure, but I quite like Viperos and AOSPExtended Oreo. Not using it actively anymore though.

I recommend the unofficial LineageOs 16 custom rom for you. This is the most stable rom I’ve ever seen for the S5 mini.
Only Requirement is to have the G800F model.
Otherwise you will break you phone.
Im running CrDroid 5.12 on my g800f with the Spookcity Kernel and Magisk. Although I'm using a Oneplus 5 as my main device I'm very happy with the results. You can run Android P roms like Posp, LineageOS, CrDroid, bootleggers or Aosp (extended). I think you can get very happy using POSP with Open Gapps nano/Pico. But CrDroid is the only rom, which is getting updated. It also is the only Pie rom supporting NFC.

This might be a pretty late reply, but I hope it can help.
If you want to stay on Marshmallow, I would really recommend rooting your device. I can't tell you exactly which, but you can deactivate a lot of system apps with root, which can improve performance in some scenarios (Look at some debloat script from other Samsung phones - a lot of the apps are the same). For deactivating system apps I use this app. Alternatively you could try to deactivate system apps without root with ADB.
In my opinion the Google apps are all very slow and all the system apps slow your device down a lot (from my experience the Google Play Services and especially the Google Play Store), which is why I either use microG on the Stock ROM or at least deactivate what I can.
Sadly you can't push much more performance out of this phone, especially not without a Custom ROM. It has four pretty weak CPUs and one really bad GPU - don't expect to be able to play any even slightly demanding games, better stay at those 2D titles. The only way to make it feel faster is to use the lightest
- OS (in my opinion any Android 6 ROM)
- system apps (disable unnecessary-seeming ones - but be very careful!) <- of course only on Stock ROM
- third-party/user apps (if an app is slow, look for alternatives - for example you could look at OSMand or MAPS.ME istead of Google Maps)

The Google app is a mandatory update with the new Play Store layout and app updates eat into the storage of the phone.
