Greetings from Bangkok

Are you aware, that an operating system using more RAM doesn't mean bad RAM management at all?

Here's a very good ELI5 (Explain like I'm 5) explanation of the misunderstanding:

"So, imagine you have a store full of books. Most of the books are in storage. So when someone walks in and says "I want Book Y" you walk to the storage, get up on a ladder, grab Book Y and go back and give it to them.

Then the next 10 customers walk in and ask for Book Y, and one customer asks for Book L. So you're smart and instead of continuing to go back to storage and grabbing Book Y 10 times you just grab a bunch of Book Y once and keep a bunch on a small shelf nearby. You still get stuck grabbing Book L from storage because it's less common so you weren't ready. But at least when people ask for Book Y you don't have to go to storage.

This is obviously a better system. You can be faster at selling because a bunch of Book Y is on a nearby shelf and people keep asking for Book Y. No need to go to storage except for sometimes.

Now imagine some asshole comes in and takes all of the books off that nearby shelf every single ****ing time you stock it up. Literally you HAVE to walk all the way to storage every time because of this idiot. This guy claims he's helping to "keep your shelf clean". Meanwhile you're TRYING to use that shelf to store best-seller books.

That idiot is a RAM cleaner. Don't hire that idiot."

- https://np.reddit.com/r/Android/com...ns_antivirus_and_apps_that/d1qstqt/?context=3

And here the real, fairly more technical explanation:

"On Windows, you want to keep as much RAM available as you can so that programs have enough room to operate. When RAM fills up, Windows is forced to start using hard drive space as virtual RAM and hard drives are much slower than physical RAM.

This is not true for Android.

Android’s operating system has its own native handler for assigning RAM to apps and making sure that all of it is being used in the most optimal way. In fact, Android purposely tries to keep apps loaded into RAM for better performance. RAM is fast, remember? On mobile devices, every bit of speed is critical for a good user experience, so keeping apps in RAM is actually a good thing.

Not only does Android handle RAM assignment, but it also keeps track of background apps so they don’t use up unnecessary processor resources. There’s no noticeable performance hit for leaving apps loaded in RAM."

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] gocchin:
Thanks a lot for the analogy which certainly does make sense.

Perhaps I should not have used the words "poor job".

I certainly do understand the benefits of keeping apps loaded in ram for speed. I just found it odd that even before I turned off the MIUI optimizations which were supposed to be killing off apps, I would watch ram in use creep from 1gb to 2gb even after launching no apps.

I am still in the learning phase for this phone so will surely pick up its tendencies and quirks more as I go along.

Thanks for the input. :D
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] codymamak:
Care to elaborate?

I am also using the stock global 8.2.1 and I am really curious as to what you mean with totally different beast..

I already unlock bootloader so I can flash custom ROM, but I was actually living with stock global until ResurrectionRemix or LineageOS would be more bug free and go with them ad I love the "stock Google - Pixel esperienze" (running Pixel Launcher atm)..but I could surely benefit of a better ROM meanwhile.

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] thklinge:
No more weird Chinese letters in some apps, no Chinese apps running in the background, no more lost notifications, better battery life, snappier response, and so on. I use nova launcher anyways so not sure about the launcher. But it's a real waste of space to have so few icons on such a large screen. I use a 8x5 grid.

Ressurection Remix rom will solve all your software issues.

I too hope MIX 2 will have a good dual camera setup, and an amoled qhd screen
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] gocchin:
OTA for 8.2.4 Global Stable came yesterday. Seems to have fixed my do not disturb issues.

Double tap to wake still inconsistent.

Will try for a few days before considering flashing to a custom ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] zabihjan:
I have been using my MIX for three days now and I am very impressed with it. Along with mix in our circle of friends there is an iPhone 7 plus and Galaxy S8 Plus.

Experiencing with all 3, I love my MIX, its speed looks, and features. I am happy that I got it.

Before this I had Mi5, I still miss my mi5 size and beauty but I don't regret getting the MIX.

I got my MIX from Dubai, I live in the UK, my phone was sealed and came with 8,2 stable global. I am just curious that it came bootloader unlocked. As soon as I turned on the phone, set it up I got the update for 8.2.40 which mean genuine Xiaomi Rom. did anyone else get their phone bootloader unlocked. due to this my phone shows device not certified on google play, due to this I cant download Netflix and I don't know which app will stop working next
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikos2k:
Let's assume that Xiaomi ships the devices from the factory with bootloader locked.

Even if the reseller has a way to unlock the bootloader without the usual method with a MI account, it is certain that they cannot do it wirelessly with the device powered down and inside the box.

So it is either that Xiaomi ships it unlocked, or the box has been opened, the device unlocked, and the box resealed again.

Try the Magisk module which is for passing the safetynet check

i did a full wipe and flashed using miflash latest global and locked the bootloader. after one day of use when I heard the global dev is coming out I unlocked bootloader again and guess what Netflix is working, cts mismatch is gone and device is certified on google play. now waiting global dev and official lineage
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Guides, News, & Discussion] proliant:
Bought Mi Mix 6gb yesterday (Sold my Galaxy Tab S2 T710 as the promised upgrade seems never happen, and my LG V10 due to heat issue) using global ROM and updated it to 8.2.5.0. Everything seems alright so far except it doesn't have Japanese locale. The translation project says it is 94% complete.

Audio quality is as great as LG G6, with my RHA T10 in ear headphone.

I prefer Mi Mix (or LG G6) to GS8+.

Now have to wait for the delivery of transparent cases...

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] TouchscreenLover1:
Hello guys, it's me again haha.

I haven't had so much trouble with any phone but the Mate 9. After I tried to restore my device to stock and it didn't work out and my phone didn't start anymore, so I made my MHA-L29C432 to a MHA-L29C636 Chinese Variant, so i can access the phone.. now my problem is, that I've no more IMEI and I can't find a way to restore it... I tried to update via Firmware Finder from Playstore; didn't work out because of different Model (obviously). Then I tried out mankindtw's method from here (https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-mate-9-flash-update-package-t3593108) and selected the latest B182-ROM, but now I still don't have any IMEI or Modelnumber, just NRD90M-test-keys and null imei.... I just want to get this damn phone to stock and sell it because it's driving me nuts. Does somebody now a way how to figure it out? Or is the only way funkyhuawei? Is it 100% guaranteed that funkyhuawei works?

Thank you very much and I hope that somebody is able to help me... :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] jr313:
When you rebranded you 1st "rebrand" to the region you want, then after it was successful, you are supposed to go in the program again and run "update- to same phone" and run the program again. That should take care of all the problems

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Modder001:
Hey guys

So I'm here asking about the question in the title

I want to know whether the kernel sources are released by OEM or not ?

And I'm getting this phone for only 15K INR

Is there any android developement like custom roms possible on this phone ?? OR should I buy redmi note 4 which has a better support ??

I don't want to switch devices for few more years

Please help me here
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Lacce:
That are two phones hard to compare.. snapdragon 820 vs 625, 5inch vs 5.5inch etc, fingerprint on front vs on the back etc... how should we know what you need or want?

Both are great..

And for custom roms > how about if you look into the roms, kernels, recovery.. section? Dont be so lazy man ;)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] hp5942:
Warning: Very long story

My purchase of 3Gb variant of Redmi Note 4 was final but could not buy it (everything happens for a good) as delivery was not available by flipkart in my area. I was very sad and finally decided to buy a new, seal packed Redmi Note 3 from ebay at Rs. 9300 (Rs. 10400 was listed price, after applying coupons it became Rs. 9300) as it had performance and recently got franco kernel too (previously available only on Pixels, Nexus and One Plus devices). Finally saw Lenovo Z2 Plus on Snapdeal for Rs. 12000 and immediately purchased it (was hesitant at first reading reviews on Amazon but could not resist SD 820 at this price).

The phone is great, no heating issues and was much better than Redmi Note 3 (Screen quality, camera quality, general performance, looks) when compared side by side as my friend had one. Battery is also good, I get 5-6 hours Screen on time on 4G network with hotspot on and around 7-8 hours SoT on WiFi.

About development, both devices have great roms but Redmi Note 4 has no custom kernel as kernel source codes are not released currently but may or will get them in future when sources are released. Also if you want to be like a trickster and change TV channels of any TV in lobby of any hospital/Hotel, go for Xiaomi phones as they have IR blaster.

The Z2 Plus recently got official Nougat whereas Redmi Note 3 and 4 are still on Marshmallow but that does not matter as you are planning to use a custom rom and all three have 7.1.2 Nougat custom roms.

Conclusion

If you like very good developer support with some good performance, go for Redmi Note 3

If you like development with superior battery life, go for Redmi Note 4

If you want a phone with sheer raw power and the one that does not slow down even after 3 years and a great value for money and brag among friends, go for Z2 Plus.

Currently Z2 Plus is available at Rs.13000 at Snapdeal but wait for amazon sale on 11th, previously at an Amazon sale, it was available for 12K and if you get any bank discount (sometimes 10 to 15% off on SBI Card etc during sale), you can get it for 10-11K too.

Go for the black one, it looks very good

Hope this helps

You can also watch reviews and comparison of phones on youtube for better decisions.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Diesen_Dev:
I am absolutely agree with hp5942's statements. Development for Z2 is only growing, it will be awesome in a few months. Note 3 has one of the best dev support and will have it for a long time. Note 4 is better looking and feeling than Note 3, but it is less speedy device.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Modder001:
I'm fine with front mounted finger print sensor

I want to use device for at least 2-3 years

Which one do you suggest me ?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] hp5942:
For long run always go with the phone with more performance.

My friend still has no performance issues with his Mi4 (SD 800, flagship at that time) even after 2.5 years.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] thebiggboss180:

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Modder001:

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] thebiggboss180:

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] ravip7:
Why do you guys confuse much. Its good phone for the price. For 13k you are getting snap 820

Its like for the price of audi you getting buggati

Why to get confused. There are minor software hiccups. As you are familiar with xda you can always use custom roms

Hardware wise there are no issues. Build quality is damm solid. I have thrashed my phone many times, but it still survives.

Back glass is lil fragile.

Should i buy lenovo z2 plus now at 12k?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] 2VJ5:
This phone was a worthy buy @18K, it's definitely a steal [MENTION=2777876]12k[/MENTION], but if you can wait, BigBillionDay/GreatIndian sale is around the corner, you might get an even sweeter deal.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Siddhu1605:
I bought z2 plus(4,64gb) @ 9.5k from amazon

(Actually 11k - 1.5k cashback)

So wait for any amazon sale

May be buy it on Diwali
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] 21vm:
For those not used to pimp their phones (unlock bootloader, flash rom etc...), i think Zuk Z2 is not a good choice as the original version is not perfect. But if you like to flash and customize your phone, so yes, 10 times yes,it's a very good phone (have it for almost 1 year and still happy with it).
