Android Redmi 1s problematic after opening few apps simultaneously

[tusharp21]

Hello,

I have been using Redmi 1s for a week. It gets crappy after a few apps are opened simultaneously. I have been searching on the net and have read that it is the MIUI causing problems. But I could not find any custom roms to replace the MIUI.

Has anybody come across a similar problem? any solutions/suggestions?

Request help on this.

First up, try to upgrade to the latest stable official firmware from Xiaomi.
My phone was shipped with version 36, which was considered to be the most buggy. However, only problem I faced was higher than normal heating.
Free RAM was not an issue but that is also partly because I am not a heavy user per se.

But since updating to the v43, heating problems have reduced (not gone mind you) and free RAM available has increased quite a bit.

There are CM11 based ROMs available for Redmi 1S or if you want to continue using MIUI there are some tips on the official MIUI English forum.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try with the upgrade.

Thanks for your reply. Did try searching on the MIUI forum. But it is limited to trying and removing some apps. Nothing on custom roms

Look for threads tagged ROMs, for example this one or here.
