Redmi 7 onc 2GB/32Gb variant discussion about replacement - Xiaomi Redmi 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello, i bought this device couple of months back from amazon, ever since it first arrived it has been very laggy, now some of u may say its because of 2gb ram but i have used other redmi devices in the past which comprised of 2gb ram (redmi2 prime, redmi 5 and redmi 6) but this device is way way more laggy then them, and i dont even do any heavy use, im talking about switching between youtube and chrome, as soon as i do that the app restarts, all games are laggy, all apps are laggy, i switched to a custom rom (AOSP Extended) even that lagged so i reverted to miui 11 and hoped it might help but nope. even the camera lags, i just cant tell wether its some factory issue or what, does anybody else have this issue with the said device or is there any way to detect the issue? please dont comment with "its 2gb bruh what do you expect" i currently do have a redmi 5 and i **** you not its performing worse then that, the camera quality and all is fine even the gpu is good but theres just this weird lag, even opening my keyboard makes it lag. not minor lags, MAJOR MAJOR LAGS, Please help me with this issue, can i claim warranty or something?:crying::crying:

which phones you have used before they aren't based on Android 9. But Redmi 7 is based on Android 9. Android 9 is heavier than the older version of Android. so 2GB RAM is not good enough. if you flash a custom rom like AOSP extended that is more ram hungry than MIUI.
PLEASE DON'T MIND. I THINK YOU HAVE NO OPTIONS. I am sorry for this.

I figured out the porblem. There's something wrong with some of the onclite devices, they give you 50% or even less performance on stock kernel, as soon as i used other kernels (zeus/neon) the phone has been godspeed smooth, only probelm with the custom kernles is one has WiFi bug and other has SD not detected bug, otherwise it's amazing.

Even I do get such huge lags. But due to improvements in custom kernels and ROMs, the speed has increased. You can try out some of the ROMs that have the newer zram config and see

Same issue bro...have you resolve these issues?

same issue bro ....... which rom would you suggest

Best(?) Rom for Asus Zenfone 2

Hallo Guys!
I have bought a Zenfone 2 WW Edition and I read a lot about the ASUS ZenUI (a lot of apps that no one needs). Now I'd like to know if there is any Rom that's slim. I don't like the oversupply of apps that every developer forces you into. I only need the bare necessities and i want to use the full function-range of the hardware
is there any rom, that someone of you would recommend?
thank you,
mnhds
I'm using SuperZen, wich is the zenUI, but with removed bloatware. The bloatware didn't really annoy me, but the battery drain sure did. Using this rom along with the Project T kernel improved my battery life considerably. There's also Cyanogen if you dislike the UI, but it still has a few bugs.

i read about the Super Zen and i think i will try it. i hate bloatware. i really would like to have MIUI on the zenfone 2 but i think its a bit difficult to optimize the rom for intel processors.
thank you for your answer!
I'm on the blissPop since 10 days
I'm really satisfying, it's based on CM with lot of customization

yeah, porting things to the x86 processor is causing some trouble to developers, but we're seeing progress every day, so I believe it's just a matter of time before we have completely stable ROMs besides stock (which is not that stable also lol) .

Zenfone 2 Bloatware

Hello all,
i bought the 2gb variant of the Zenfone 2, and was shocked to see the amount of bloatware. i disabled quite a few, but the ram usage still floats around 1.3 to 1.4 gb. I tried playing games like injustice, and it liked lagged like anything. Asphalt ran on medium rather than on high graphics. Should i go for root and disable everything or should i go for a custom rom. Which of these wud help my device perform better.
Welcome to the world of Asus
I'd say a custom rom is the best option here since Asus has been slacking with updates and we're still on 5.0...
Many people are using unofficial CM 12.1 so I think you should give it a try

LG G3 Marshmallow Pros and Cons

Im thinking about updating to Android 6 but im not quite sure if i should do it already.
Heard some good things about perfomance and overall feeling but also about lowered Imagequality.
What are your pros and cons about the update? Is it worth going? Pls help me
delete me
Well thx for your response! [emoji14]
im currently on fulmics 2.7 with xceed and its feeling really smooth. There is not a real reason for me to upgrad but i feel a bit outdated if i stay on lp. I know its stupid.
Im not using the camera for high quality shots at all but i also dont want to loose some of the quality. Is there any chance that lg will update the camera problem?
and about the knock code: i think there is no way for the devs to disable the "6knocks3areas" rule? i love the knock code on lp and dont want to miss it
I think I will wait and see if LG can fix this problems or maybe a dev can
As far as I know the MM release is somewhat a beta release since it was only released in Poland. It being a beta, I guess it's normal to have a numerous amount of bugs. So better wait for the global final release before ranting out on unfinished beta software.

Dont rly know what you talking about. Knock code for me works fine and camera FV 5 does the job well on every condition.
V30b is doing fine with and am most satisfied with batery life.
But looks like its just mz expiriance and its up to you if your going to wait for the nwxt relese or upgrade like me.
All the best .
:tapatalkin'
Ya works fine with me to. v30b is one smooth ride. knock code is only 2 more taps anyway so thats not to bad as far as camera goes it grand. Believe me LP sucks ass compared to this. do yourself a favor and flash+root v30b sure if you dont like it you can allways go back to lolipop ?
simple case of user error

Each to their own. /TLDR. Narf.
If you come up with a claim at least try to put a reason behind it - everything else is just pure arrogance or simply said hot air venting from between the two bottom halves.
The JPG-Engine seemingly was downgraded just like the Camera is way less responsible and OIS (even while hardware-based) seems to be fcked up with their drivers introducing lag as such leading to blurry pictures under the same conditions that were absolutely fine on LP.
(And I don't have Parkinson)
Just ask kairi_zeroblade but I bet he's tired of those endless discussions with people that don't bring up reason or listen to those with more insight and technical knowledge (like him - I'm not even speaking about myself that is).
Like I said - each to their own. If you need to experience it yourselves and don't care you're free to do so.

Heres my problem with your opinion. Which it is an opinion. As with most reviews people give on xda, people here already have a high expectation based on their technical experience or lack there of. Ive found that if i compare peoples reviews from xda to other sites or real world, youll find a really wide spread. Im not saying youre wrong but you project opinion off as fact. Even reading this reply to people you attack anyone disagreeing by saying they are sheep or arrogant. Ever heard of variance. Sure every device comea off the line "identical" but errors happen. If you have a defective phone to begin with a software update may not fix it. Its why you get people on so many places on a line. Ive been with android since the beginning and these kind of responses have always happened. Ive seen peolle post and say that "everyone " is having the issue and they should either not buy the device or not update. Xda is not representative at all of any real user base for a specific device. For anyone looking for whether or not to install something or update. Id say take everything with a grain of salt and read many reviews. In the end its hpw you see the device.

Don't know what you're complaining about, ever since v30b was released, it completely changed my G3. The interface lags in Lollipop are gone, there was a 2sec stutter everytime I wanted to do something under 5.0. App switching is instant and the whole interface is running at 60Fps. In lollipop even the slide down menu was laggy as hell. I like the G4 UX and battery sleep time is actually a bit better than Lollipop. I'm extremely happy that LG kept updating the G3 and fixed a lot of problems, I will not update my phone this year. And I agree with @monkeypaws, a lot of people here praise stock based custom roms and kernels. The truth no one wants to hear on this forum is this : Stock based custom roms are 100% useless. You can do the debloating using Root Browser, you can install third party apps like App Ops or Kernel Auditor yourself. Custom Roms are not magic, a lot of people talk about how BUTTER SMOOTH this and SLEEP LIKE A BABY that and so on. Wake up, it's not any different than stock rom. So are custom kernels bumped to Linux 3.4.111 sources. Most of them are horrible in terms of battery saving because of 'Overclocking'. Apart from frying your already hot as a potato G3 on light use, you'll do nothing interesting to it.
The only noteworthy content in XDA are Cyanogenmods, AOSP, and the ports like on the Samsung scene, where the S6 edge features ported to the S5, or 5.1.1 ported to the S5 that was officially supported up to 5.0.2 only a few months back. There's actual work done, not some twelvie on Archikitchen feeling like a developer

For me,build 2a is still best.It's the most stable and battery friendly build for me.
Build 5 had poor battery timing for me and build 6 had several random reboots per day.Only thing I miss from latest builds is increased charging speed,but i can live without that
Gee thanks buddy...will give it a shot...
Hello everyone. I want to share with you my experience with Lg G3 2 gb version with stock android 6.0 mm. I have installed android mm on my device since 2 january. After one month of use i can say that updating to mm, for me ,was a very bad idea. I don't know how it is on other lg g3's but mine it got worse after the update. The camera is much worse than lp, memory management is just awful...multitasking became ussels...almost impossible, the phone is laggy and it stutter very bad. In my case lollipop was so much better than android mm. Only pros for the mm are the battery life and better looking UI. (sorry for my english, it's not my main language)
I find Marshmallow much better than Lollipop in the other hand.
Lollipop had bad battery life, performance was very inconsistent (sometimes it was fine, often I would get 10 second white screen hanging while launching apps like facebook, youtube, etc. ). But two worst things about Lollipop were often force closes of LG's launcher and invisible apps in Recents window. And all that was happening even though it was heavily tweaked to reduce the lag and preserve battery life. Quickcircle wasnt usable and practical at all (if you use it ofc).
Marshmallow has much better UI (all Lollipop UI bugs are fixed), performance is great and it's also CONSISTENT, just like battery life. I feel the camera is the same (IF YOU WANT TRUE CAMERA BUY A DSLR). Memory management is the same (it was good on Lollipop already). Quickcircle finally makes sense and it's practical.
If using stock roms, Lollipop is very unusable and need heavy tweaking until it's tolerable. Even then, Marshmallow is much more consistent and more responsive than heavily tweaked Lollipop and there are no random force closes.
If you are rooted, backup your existing Lollipop ROM, try out Fulmics MM ROM. If you dont like it, you can easily restore you LP ROM.
After all this different opinions i think i will wait for the global release. Fulmics 3.1 Rom seems to be good but maybe LG will fix some of their fails like knock code. LP is running pretty good for me so theres no real reason to upgrade
But thanks anyways!
I just wanted to say that xpirt managed to change the Knock Code in his MM Rom. Fulmics 3.5 has a 3 Taps Knock Code
So theres one probleme less. Maybe LG will fix their camera too

Which ROM should I flash?

Hello there!
I just bought the Mi Mix 2, because I wanted to get rid of my iPhone SE, the screen was just too small.
I had a Redmi 4 Prime one year ago, and I was happy with MIUI back then, but I dont like Google and want to keep the Play Services to a bare minimum (comparable to the OpenGapps Pico).
I only need the PlayStore and nothing else.
Several years ago I was a huge fan of Cyanogenmod and used it on every Phone I ever owned. Though Lineage is available for the Mix 2, I didnt like the stock Android versions which came after Kitkat. I never really got familiar with it, especially after the HoloBlue design was gone and Google tried to make the OS look more mainstream.
MIUI was very pleasant to use, but even with the xiaomi.eu ROM Google is still present with all of the services.
What ROM would you recommend for me? And which ROM are you using and why?
Sorry for my bad english!
Regards
Edit: One more question: The Redmi 4 Prime had a weird audio recording bug, where audio in videos or other recording was barely hearable and very noisy. After flashing the AICP ROM of the user unterwelt (amazing work, btw), the issue was completely gone. Back to the official MIUI ROM and it was there again. So I assume its a problem caused either by Xiaomi/MIUI or some Google services?
Anyway, is this an issue with the Mix 2? I read somewhere that it has very bad recording quality, which would be bad, because I use my phone as a recording device when Im at my way to work and so on (Im kind of a "part time" musician).

Any custom ROM is going to give u what u want, just try them. What's good for one person might not be good for u
Try MiuiPro...I flash it on several Xiaomi and everybody are happy about it
OmniRom with skizo Kernel, good battery life.
LOS and RR (based on LOS of course) have a very poor battery life atm

What kind of battery life are you getting?

The official site is in Russia (the hacking, malware and ransomware capital of the world) and there is very little information about MIUIPro that I can find other than people saying its good. How is it good compared to stock or other ROMs?
I think I will give the .eu ROM a shot then, since I like MIUI. Is there any possibility to turn the Google services off? I only need the PlayStore.
Also, what about the recording sound?
Finally received my MIX 2. Looks and feels really nice!
Sadly, I have to wait for 72 hours to unlock the phone. I dont know why, because I registrated the device, but I guess its some problem with the unlock app.
Anyway, I am stuck with the global ROM for so long now. Is it worth it to "upgrade" to another rom? Because global seems to run well so far, and I guess MIUI10 is already around the corner.

That's just Xiaomi policy. Wait it out and then unlock your device.
I tried LOS and found it buggy and also significantly less smooth and responsive than MIUI 9--but for some people having stock Android is apparently worth the drop off in phone performance. There's not much risk in trying custom ROMs with this phone because it's very easy to go back to stock using the MI Flash tool.

ROM suggestions for HTC ONE M9

Hi everyone,
I just got a HTC ONE M9, as my Redmi Note 4 broke. Can you guys please recommend best stable and high performing roms for this device?
I know I might get some flak for being a noob and lazy, but I did try LOS 16 (since I adore stock Android ) and Stock Deodexed rom, but LOS lags a lot and Stock rom looks outdated .
Thanks in advance

I won't give ya any flak for asking the rom question...
The truth is.....nobody can answer that question with any degree of accuracy because we all like different things.
LOS16 is the latest firmware we have...with AICP as well. And bear in mind that our M9's are ancient by today's phone standards.
Lag is just plain going to happen....but...
You can adjust the cores and optimize the experience which generally offers a good improvement.
And I may get flak for this....but if you are running apps like Facebook and instagram and many others....I can tell you that lag will be worse.
Apps like these are memory hogs that eat battery like crazy.
A lean and stripped down LOS 16 flash is fast and smooth.
Give it another try...and use the browser for Facebook and such instead of loading the apps.
It makes a huge difference for me....g

Thanks a lot, mate LOS developer is probably going to change CPU governor settings in next build, as some other people reported it lagging too in this build, so will give it another try. It just can't get any better than stock android.
