http://en.miui.com/thread-43304-1-1.html
1. Download the flashable build, place in root folder of internal sd.
2. Go to system "settings", go to "about phone" at bottom, click "system update"
4. Click menu button and select "select update package" and browse and select TWRP 2.8.02.ZIP
5. Once flashing is done, reboot into recovery by pressing volume up+ power button after turning phone off. If it doesnt work, try flashing by above method again
2. Download and Unzip the backup
1. Download all 4 files from this link(389 mb total. 97 mb each)
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/c7ch9w7shqao6/Redmi_1S_Rooted_Rom_Subinmanaladil
2. Put all files in same folder and extract ONLY the file "Subinmanaladil Rom Redmi 1S FINAL RELEASE.zip.001". If you cant open it, get 7zip
http://www.7-zip.org/
3. You should now get a folder named "Subinmanaladil Rom Redmi 1S FINAL RELEASE".
4. Reboot into recovery and select backup, swipe to start creating a backup. When backup process starts, press down power button until phone restarts. Using a file manager, go into TWRP-BACKUP-"folder with random name". Here you should paste above extracted folder.
5. Reboot to recovery click restore and select "Subinmanaladil cusotm MIUI Rom Redmi 1S" Change location from internal storage to external storage according to weather your backup fodler is in internal or external sd.
3. Setup
1. Click security app in home screen. Select Permissions. Now enable root permissions. Disable permission manager.

4. Turn on init.d in universal init.d app and reboot.
5. Charge from 2% to 100% and leave it on charger for 20 minutes extra. Do this about 3 times before you can get good battery life.
6. (OPTIONAL) I disabled limiting background process in battery option in settings. This setting causes apps to not sync. This happens in stock rom too. Doing this can decrease battery and icnrease heating but it works fine for me.

Been using with this setup for some time now and there are absolutely no heating issues. No other problems either. No apps or music player force close.
Gonna consider patching services.jar soon

I was experiencing heating and battery issues on this device. I decided to root the device and added a few modifications that seem to have magically cured the problem. The phone now heats less than a samsung device. Seriously major difference.
The phone also got a whole lot faster and smoother.
1. Root Your Phone
This method is from the following link:
U can unroot easily and get OTA Updates and obtain warranty by following instructions in that link. Below is the procedure to root.
1. Download the file update.zip to your PC (because download via browser on phone often is not working properly)
2. Connect your Redmi 1S via USB
3. Copy the file update.zip to the folder 'Computer\HM 1S\Internal storage' (root of internal storage, meaning the top most folder)
4. Disconnect your Redmi 1S properly from USB (use 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' from USB icon in Windows SysTray)
6. Boot into Mi-Recovery (for this launch the Updater app, press the menu/options button and from the menu choose 'Reboot to recovery mode')
7. In the Mi-recovery select and confirm 'English' (or Chinese if you are capable to understand)
8. Select and confirm 'Install update.zip to System', this will take one second
9. Select and confirm 'Reboot'
10. After reboot go to Security -> Permission and activate Root permission
11. Enjoy your rooted Redmi 1S
2. Uninstall unnecessary software
Taken from the following link:

3. Install Universal init.d app by Androguide.fr from Play store and enable init.d support in the app
4. Install Custom CWM Recovery
1. Download attached file "signed_cwm_update redmi.zip"
2. rename it to update.zip and paste in root folder of internal storage.
3. Go to settings, then to about phone and click system update button
4. Press menu button adn press "reboot to recovery"
5. Select language English and then select flash update.zip option.
6. When done, turn phone off, press volume up+ power until you enter cwm recovery
5. Install the performance mod
1. Download pureperformance for CM from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360670
2. Put it in your external sd card's root folder.
3. Boot into cwm recovery, make a backup
4. Flash pureperformance mod and reboot
6. Change ram manager script(optional)
I just find this ram manager to be better
1. Download fly on mod from following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226373
2. Extract the zip file, browse to etc/init.d folder in it and copy the ram manager file to root folder of sd card
3. Use root browser from palystore and copy this file from sd card nad paste it in etc/init.d folder of your phone(not the extracted folder of the zip file)
4. Delete ram_optimize script
I think we have to patch services.jar for ram maanger ot work but i am not sure. Will update with instructions if i do so.
Thats it. Just wait 15 minutes for system to settle down. Additionally you can go to developer otpions and put animation speeds back to normal and reboot one more time. I did this much and all my heating issues are gone! Absolutely no heating even while gaming!!! I didnt even underclock! Its like a magical fix guys!!! I was amazed. The performance has increased phenominally too. MIUI should hire jeeko or exit_only for working on their performance front. I think exit_only made the ever amazing crossbreedor script.
I am also getting great great battery life and speed. I am 100% happy with this phone now. I have noticed in this hsort time that battery charging time has drastically decreased too. Phone doesnt heat much during charging either. :laugh:
NOTE: If you are still unhappy with battery life or the slight heat, then install No frills CPU from play store and put min frequency to 300 and max frequency to either 1.4 or 1.19 and test. That reduces heating too. Also check apply on boot. Also go to security app in desktop and click on power(the one that has antivirus and cleaner in it) and select default and change cpu mode to power saving and then click ok. Now select apply for default setting. I didnt need this.

I have posted this guide on MIUI forums too.
Am not an expert, just put together things that I know. I never tried any other custom OS because I bought this phone with MIUI software features in mind.
I tried patching services.jar but it gave me erros such as all apps crashing if i wiped dalvik cache and newly installed apps seemed to not open. So it has been dropped

Nice

Installing CWM means loss of warranty right????? And also we cant unroot and get OTA updates????? Correct me if m wrong......... And what will happen if i skip CWM step???

great tips
Really the tips you had share with us is working fine.

Yes, the phone can be returned back to stock just by following unroot instructions.
I have updated original post with a better guide and more instructions :good:

I flashed the pure performance script following your instructions and also underclocked the
CPU which helped to reduce heating...but battery life remains as it was..I ran a benchmark after turning back the clock speed to maximum and cpu to high performance in the security app,I get scores lower than stock ROM..
Any thoughts??
And also can you provide a guide to turn back the phone to stock.

In my experience, underclocking doesnt seem to really get rid of heating. Am not sure but I get best experience at 1.6 Ghz itself.
The guide has been updated with a major improvement of ram management with the services.jar patched. Make sure you do that step too. :good:

For me, underclocking does reduce heating...
And about the battery status screenshot you have provided... I get such battery life only when I am sleeping. The battery drops like 1 percent/min with just whatsapp and data on
And I get 416 mb ram in stock ROM without modding..just that it get reduced to around 250mb when I am using my fone..
Your screenshot shows that screen uses less power than android system...in my experience, it is not possible unless you use the phone just for fone calls...as redmi has a 720 p display which definitely uses a lot of power
Can u give us some info about how you use your phone...
And y patch services.jar??

Possibly a stupid question, but in step 6, why do you recommend downloading PurePerformance for CM if we are running stock MIUI 41.1 Rom? Just want to be sure what I'm flashing.

Thanks a lot for the instructions. Few questions from my side if you can help that will be great.
Will I be able to update the phone when a new firmware is released?
What will happen with this workaround once you install an update, do you need to start again from start?

does anyone have patched service.jar and framework.jar for MIUI Global 4.1 ?
because i have dificulty tu run ultimatic jar patcher tool on my win 8 x64 environment

V4A Aroma Installer with neon enable optional convolver pack [MM updated Sept.5.2016

I take no credit for this amazing equalizer. All credits go to @zhuhang and the people from his thread for the convolvers.
If you don't know what V4A is check here for more details.
But basically it's an audiophiles dream that can cause serious hearing loss and such audio enjoyment at the same time!
The Zip has all the files included to enable "neon" support for convolvers, which are also included.
The feedback I've received so far is 100% success.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1) DOWNLOAD THE ZIP
2) FLASH IN RECOVERY (no need to uninstall if you already have viper installed)
3) open the app and you will be prompted to install the drivers. (I always choose the top one, although it does consume more batter, we'll worth it)
The EQ can be either super simple with just the basic adjustments or can get really technical in "expert" mode.
To activate the convolvers hit the 3 dots in the top right and click click the "ui settings" and change it to expert
Current version Download and discussion starts here
UPDATE VERSION 2.4.0.1 Neon Enabled + Convolvers
If using my previous zip version a simple flash of the new zip will update your V4A.
If you are running any version other than the one in my previous zip you will need to follow the steps below to ensure a smooth update to 2.4.0.1.
1) uninstall current driver from Viper by selecting the option is the app or use file manager and delete "libv4a_fx_ics.so" from system/lib/soundfx.
2) wipe data app with application manager or TiBackup
3) uninstall your current V4A
4) Flash to new zip
5) boot up and enjoy
6) hit the thanks button.
old version
Viper4Android neon enabled including convolvers
Enjoy!

To fix the empty directory error (which has happened to me on G925FXXU3DPAD), simply copy all the convolver .irs and .wav files from whereever you see them to /data/media/legacy/ViPER4Android/Kernel/ with a root browser, and you will notice the directory is indeed empty if it exists at all (at least it was in my case). I believe that with the MM changes to how the internal SD is mounted (again), V4A's old location check fails, sorta.
Hope this helps!

[Guide] How to Solve Obb data lost on android 8.1 Custom Rom in Moto G5 Plus.

I have found solution to play games which contains obb data in android oreo based Roms. I have been facing issue from last one week that obb data automatically converted into file and we lost all obb data of all games.
So here is the guide how can you solve this issue by following below steps.
1) Install Xposed framework for Oreo Roms from below link depending on your Android OS Version.
https://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-framework-for-android-oreo-beta/
2) Then go to the playstore and install "Obb on sd" for xposed.
3) Activate the xposed module and Reboot your phone.
4) Download any of your favorite games which contains Obb Data.
5) Then copy Android folder from your internal storage to External sdCard as it is.
6) Open "ObbOnSd" app and go to settings of this app.
7) Select all option and that's it.
The above guide is Personally tested by me. Kindly follow above guide at your own risk.
I am not responsible for any bricked device or damage.

Every custom rom has this issue and dont know what can be the cause of this issue..
will have to wait and use xposed framework untill someone solves this issue....

I've noticed something in case it helps anyone.
The issue described in this thread seems only to happen to me after connecting to WiFi and downloading apps from the play store. I went several days and several restarts without it, then today I connected to WiFi and downloaded some apps, now it is present.
Can anyone give any more ideas about why (or even IF) this could happen?

Try reinstalling the app and makes sure to follow every step. This method works fine on my 9T Pro Global ROM. Idk about custom ROMs. Edit works on mine. Idk if it works but Hide GPhotos in Magisk and got to app management and give every permission to GPhotos.

Thank you very much, indeed it works as it should now and no issues with the app ????

Did you check if your Google Drive used space increased or not when backing up new photos?

Didnt work on pocophone f1.

Does not work with me, unfortunately. Is there any other way that I would really like to use??
Thank you so much.

Works on K 20 Pro and on One Plus 6.

Work on my mi 9 t pro; i've only set different rw/r/r (644) cause 444 doesn't work for me

Just so you guys know, if you guys moving from android to ios, the Google photos will consume all your free storage ( 15gb for gmail,gphotos,contact etc ) , so better think twice if you want to do this.

This is true even for a Pixel device.

Just buggered my buildprop and my phone doesn't boot properly anymore, do you guys have the original value for "ro.product.mod_device" for this device? Not sure if global/non-global makes a difference?
Thanks

I find this stupid, I used to do a full quality backup. Later then I switch my device to an iPhone then found out that my storage is overused 44gb/15gb. I cannot receive any email because there is no free storage left so I have to subscribe to 100gb storage for 2dollar per month. Ezmoney for google
