Hi Friends,
The MIUI stock rom was showing 6.12 GB of ROM totalspace out of 8 GB and 1 GB RAM. I flashed with custom rom, now it is showing only 5.7GB of ROM and 820MB of RAM. Is this the real spec of the device or some of the spaces got wasted while flashing? or is it not utilizing the RAM and ROM completely I tried with both CM11 and Mokee, both showing the same.
Please suggest...

Miui uses some sh*t memory calcuting tech. I have a 64 gb sd card inserted, the actual user available space is 62.5gb, but my phone shows freaking 66.98gb!! How can a 64gb memory card have 67gb in it!?!?
Trust me, the internal storage of our phones can hold 5.72 gb, and not more than that. And the total usable ram is 871mb, not 820mb. 153mb goes to the gpu.
Check the screenshot.
Not in miui bro even all brand in 16 GB you will get 12 GB for use 2 GB for application and rest for system.

It does have 4GB, but some of that is used for things like the ROM and caches. What you are seeing is the amount of space available for installing applications, which is about 2.15GB.
This question might have been asked to death ., but still i would like to get a real answer. my phone shows that the system ROM has 367 mb and 110 free .and my internal 446 mb and 75 mb is free
if i find a ROm lets say 150 mb would that increase my internal MB .or the sys ROm is dedicated lets say 450MB.,and that is it.so if i use a ROM 150 MB or 400MB the Internal will not be effected ??
anyway so what if I install a basic ROM with nothing much there ,.no apps ...etc and i install the apps i want what ROm with that be that runs and stable ,one that built using Android 2.3.3. since these i can tether ...from my phone .
sincerely

The smaller the rom size, the more initial internal storage you will have. A 350MB rom would have less space than a sticks and stones 90MB rom.
If you flashed a basic rom like you described, and started to install apps, you would see your internal memory get smaller with each app. However, most roms have a2sd baked in. Once you partition your sd card and upgrade your ext to the rom specifications, the apps will be placed on the space on your sd card, not the phone.
thank you for the answer.
Uhh hi, i want ask about my phone why got bonus 64mb ram when i open the swapit ram expander,can i can't find the path of the swapfile, and also I can't make any ram because of the 64mb ram, when i make the swapfile it says manufacturer has disabled the swap-function in my device rom and call me seach another custom rom,but i already had change 3rd times rom already also got the bonus 64mb ram, so I wish got any solution to get rid that 64mb bonus ram, sorry for my english not good.

That error shows that your kernel doesnt support swap. Could you provide more information as which rom and kernel you are using?
And i also dont recommend you to create swap file using this apps because someone had bricked their wonder using similar apps. Here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095573
Here is another method to create swap file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 AFAIK this is the best and safest for creating swap file

OK brother. Firstly, I recommended khan kernel to you because of its extra 20 mb ram feature. I thought it may help you, and also it is good and smooth kernel. It has extra processors and i/o schedulers, and some specifications. :good:
Furthermore, you can use turbo boost http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145133 to increase ram. I recommend three swap way (cache/system/data)
Moreover, 64 mb swap file you mentioned is zram of the kernel, I think. In addition, you can disable it(64 mb) by using Performance Control app, here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401988
If I'm wrong, someone please let us know the correct information.
thank you!

That is normal bro The 64mb swap file is zram. It is ON by default in cm11. I think there is an option for it under performance in settings. But i suggest you to left it untouched as zram is compressed ram and wipp help in ram management
uhh thx guys, i were see my ram were boost when using turbo boost thx:good:
Hey!
I'm looking for a small high end tablet and the Mi Max would be perfect for that. Especially the 2GB 16GB version as it is cheap and I will only read the news on it and browse a bit.
It seems the roms for the 32GB 3GB ram version work on the 16GB 2GB ram version. At least, that is what it looks like at reading threaths here and on Miui. I was hoping however that there would be somebody who could acknowledge this (an user with the 16GB 2GB ram modell?) ?
Thanks!

If they both have code name hydrogen and they do then they use same ROM and again... they do. Don't worry...

Thanks, that's what I assumed too... but a little bit of doubt came upon me because I somewhere read somebody hard bricked his phone. But that person might have used a helium rom on a hydrogen device or something.
So no changing ***.img files in zip files, just straight forward flashing?
Not that I can't but well.... you know hehe.

Straight forward, no changes. People brick their Mi Maxes even without doing anything wrong. It's a Xiaomi thing...

Really ? I just received mine yesterday and wanted to try MIUI 8.
which one did you download ? Link ?
Previos time I used Redmi Note 4 (Mido). That phone are 3gb varient. That phone in i flashed epicMiui custom rom. That rom are used my ram storage only few 1gb/1.3gb Ram. That rom are my best choose for that issue. All time ram storage 1.4gb are always free. That phone camera are just osame
But,
Now I am used Redmi note 5. There I tested many custom rom. All the custom ROM are most ram storage drained. Like there are free ram storage are only 700mb to 900mb.
So,
I need A miui based rom.
That are i am used daily draivers. That are mostly free my ram 1.4 to 1.5gb. Sugeested me please...
Nb: sorry my bad english.
You don't need that. Empty ram is wasted ram. Stop obsessing with numbers and learn how things works.

Congratulations, you used your phone with 1.5gb ram lol. Why do you even have this crazy idea that somehow unused ram is good for you? Its not, unused ram=useless ram in linux/android.
