Just yesterday a dev posted a pic on Telegram showing GPU OC. Just wait for a little ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] naveediftikhar:
Too add to this discussion..people who are advising to unlock the bootloader and root really aren't addressing the real issue here, yes custom ROM can help but that's with every other phone and then defeats the purpose of this thread.

Let's discuss with out of the box experience and what you can change therein.

1. Yes I know animations are choppy but that can be fixed with setting all of them to 0.5 in developer option.

2. Miui launcher has these strange animations when u move from and to the home screen ( for icons) and that is primarily the launcher issue. You can add an after market launcher and solve that too.

3. Scrolling lag can be due to various apps running in the background, ensure that you disable useless syncs, and apps to free up ram and CPU overhead.

4. All phone ( Samsung + apple) suffer from lags and slowdowns and that's due to cache and Rom space. Hence comparing a perfectly functional device to likes of 1000$ isn't just. But for me my note 5 global version whyred functions fine. Just ensure that you use it smartly, else no phone honestly will ever satisfy your enthusiast need.

And foremost ..update your phone..miui 10 actually addresses all of the issues in a mostly comprehensive manner.. so update is your best friend here.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
But but real problem is OP is not using MIUI ROM, he is using custom ROM :P and he want complete stability in custom ROM, we came to know about that after long discussion
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] naveediftikhar:
Lolz..ok I've been in the XDA scene for long to actually second this. No custom ROM..ever will be stable enough to satisfy all. Yes better functions and options and that is the reason Samsung is late in updating its software. So if you want stability and better user experience go back to miui as that's what's this phone was built for.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] peter-k:
Aosip 8.1 and I believe Havoc 8.1 as well are similar stabil as MIUI is.

Some other ROMs have hundreds of extra functions and then there is a higher chance of catching a bedbug seems normal.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Robert-:
Nah, not really, Miui 10 is garbage, way worse than MCAOSP, which is still not smooth. Please, go to some random shop and try some other SNAP 636 devices, you will see that they are way smoother.

I just tried a Moto Z3 play and it is way better. There are problems with the software but none seems to care enough to adress them.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gsmyth:
I've set my animation speeds back to the default 1 and enabled the 'Force GPU rendering' option in dev settings and it seems a bit smoother (I'm generally not feeling excessive lag normally). I use flamingo for twitter, Metal for Facebook. I also have Instagram but not really a massive user. In terms of messaging apps I have Viber, WhatsApp, hangouts, fb messenger (lite), Gmail, so a few things running in the background. I've disabled or uninstalled anything I don't use, some stuff Ive disabled within Play store>Help>search for 'disable', then select 'Delete or disable apps on Android', then tap on 'Tap to go to Application Settings'. Here you can disable some extra stuff that you aren't able to via the normal Settings>installed apps. I've disabled Gboard (using swift key), Google Duo, Google Play Movies, the Google app and Facebook app manager.

In terms of habits I tend to leave everything open in multitasking, ie i don't use the clear all recent apps option unless something is wrong. I'm still on 9.5.17.0 global stable and actually went to unlock my bootloader the other day but have the 720hr wait now. I intend to install xiaomi eu miui 10 as it's already got a lot of crap stripped out of it and usually a bit snappier than the standard global rom.

Hello Robert try this Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 Rom ported to Redmi Note 5.

I tried,i think it is better.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cLeAv0:
I had some stutters and slowdowns too before. From flashing problems i had to wipe system, then install a rom and i hadn't have these problems anymore.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bolumstar:
Coming from Samsung Galaxy Note 4 straight to this phone made the ghost image retention a real issue for me. I almost decided to send the phone back on Aliexpress and open dispute with the seller only to realise after research that the poor quality LCD screen is Xiaomi issue. The back-light washes away the richness of black color and it is so obvious when booting the phone in a dark room. I've used other budget phones LCD screens (Lenovo k3 note, Doogee BL5000, infinix hot S etc) this Redmi Note 5 ai screen is the worst I've used.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
I cannot agree to this, I'm on MIUI 10 and my phone is superfast and smooth, totally lagfree.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
This phone is the best I used yet. Sorry for you, when you have problems with it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bolumstar:
It's obvious that you haven't used Plenty of AMOLED 2k+ screen resolution a lot. The performance and battery is good and the best at its price range.

MIUI is crap with lot of ads and the screen quality is poor
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] maxysoft:
I'm facing the same issues. Compared to my old lenovo p2 the games lags and the interface isn't that smooth. There are serious problems with the gpu of the RD5. I've tired every rom existing on xda and tried 3 other RD5 with stock global rom. All the phones have the same issues.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
I'm used to max FullHD Resolution. I had an S4 until I got my Redmi Note 5. And I can't agree in the bad Screen quality. And personally I don't like AMOLED, the colours are way to bright, on IPS LCD it's more natural. And I don't have much ads in MIUI, only after installing an app manually. That's it. I can live with that. And I'm not able to see "plenty" of overkill displays when I have not much money and never bought any phone in a supermarket. I buy most of my stuff at Amazon meanwhile. And honestly at that screensize you don't need more than FullHD+ and more than 200 or 300€ for a phone I'm not willed to pay. And ahh yeah Notch-Display phones sucks.

My games not lags, their all smooth and the system runs without lag too. My phone is still locked without any custom stuff btw. And I have no intention to ever unlock it. Cause I'm happy with what it offers to me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Soren01:
I'm facing the same problems, no matter what ROM I use.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Snapdragon 636 is not a high end cpu. Redmi note 5 pro is a pretty good phone if you find it very cheap, but hey, don't expect it to run like an Iphone X.

If you want to play games on it at budget, get a phone that has Snapdragon 660 (Nokia 7 plus/Mi A2)

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

And for people who don't have the global version : Flash it right now. It doesn't have any kind of ads in it. (If it shows, disable MSA)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Skolotaie:
To keep it short since you make the phone bad for others.

Gaming on a pc like that and then buying a entry level/midend phone and THEN saying it's slow or bad and whatnot?

Gosh,buy a Galaxy S9+ from Lagsung and stay away from Midend phones.

You can afford such a monitor ? then you can afford a better phone too.

Mine lags too now and then but it's nothing wich really bug's me.

A Galaxy S8 with stock rom i fiddled aorund with lagged more xD

Nuff said.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
SD636 is no low entry mid level cpu, all games I play (Asphalt 8 and 9 for example) Running perfectly smooth on high settings, you not need a 660 phone. This phone is fast enough for everything. (If you not wanna play pubg and fortnite, that are both boring games btw. But that's just my opinion)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xell75:
I didn't know that, since I not play this game. So thanks for clear things up.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] luck2ang:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nqhoai:
I'm using a 3gb variant and the animations is still smooth, no laggy. This is a mid range phone so it can't handle some high graphic games with ease, but it's not my problem, and the screen on time is about 9hrs which is ok for me. Maybe it's just because your expectation is too high :D
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] app'd:
I have a rooted galaxy S5, I want to install Philz CWM recovery on it using this step here https://galaxys5root.com/galaxy-s5-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s5/ BUT whenever I connect my device to my laptop and start up odin, it always fails to install, I would like to know if there is a way to do this directly from the phone without using Odin. I want to back up my ROM before installing xposed framework.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
What version of the galaxy s5 do you have

That recovery is old & most people use twrp

You can flash twrp recovery using the twrp app if your device is rooted

You can probably flash other recoveries too with 3rd party apps if your device is rooted

For unrooted or the conventional method of using odin

Once you have installed the Samsung USB drivers

https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows

Put phone into download mode

Connect to pc

Press Vol up to start connection

Open odin

Put tar image in AP section

Begin flash

Depending on which version of the s5 you have will depend on what image you need

Also some s5s may need rooting with CF-Auto-Root first - this requires you to enable USB debugging in the phones developer options first & you might need to enable oem unlock too

For the G900F, SM-G900W8, SM-G900T, SM-G900M, SM-G900P, SM-G900V, SM-G900I all you have to do is flash twrp in odin - no other pre steps are required

The twrp for these variants is https://dl.twrp.me/klte/

All other varients are on the twrp website

If your variant is not listed Google your variant & how to install custom recovery
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] app'd:
My device is SM-G900F, my device is already rooted and has usb debugging enabled. So with the TWRP app all I have to do is download and install to my phone then I can run it from my phone? Can I download the TWRP app from playstore? you didn't provide a link to the TWRP app.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Yes you can use the twrp app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.twrp.twrpapp

Select galaxy s5 ktle

It will open up the twrp website

You want the one ending in img

Select this image to flash via the app

If you are flashing via odin get the one ending in tar

If you are flashing via odin once the phone restarts you must enter recovery straight away else it won't stick
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] app'd:
I can see two options

Back up recovery or TWRP flash,

inside back up recovery, there's the backup recovery option and then there's back up boot

which of these options do I choose if I want to back up my ROM before installing xposed framework? do I flash with TWRP first before using the back up options?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
The app is purely for flashing twrp

It can also backup your recovery image & kernel (boot.img)

If you want a full rom backup flash twrp (either via odin or via the app if rooted)

Choose device

Select galaxy s5 ktle

Download twrp img

Select twrp flash

Select twrp img you download for galaxy s5 ktle

Restart to recovery (use Vol up home power button to enter recovery mode)

If via odin download twrp tar

Put tar in AP section of odin and start flash & immediately press buttons to enter recovery when phone restarts

Once flashed enter twrp recovery - home button volume up & power button when phone starts

Swipe to allow modifications - select backup option & select all partitions you wish to backup (all of them)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] app'd:
Thanks a lot, finally flashed into TWRP, one last thing though, I tried to back up and my internal storage capacity wasn't enough (I don't have an SD card), I tried to select USB storage but nothing happened, is it possible to back up from TWRP directly to my computer? I can't seem to find that option
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
USB storage is backing up to a USB stick connected to your phone via a USB otg cable

You can also backup to sd card (if you had one)

You can backup directly to your pc via adb (requires adb setup on your pc)

There is a guide here (ignore twrp version - I presume you already have the latest version installed)

https://www.stechguide.com/take-twrp-backup-directly-pc-via-adb/
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] app'd:
Hi, I followed the guide you gave me and I am having some problems restoring my backed up ROM, please see here

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/help-recovering-rom-using-twrp-adb-t3840132

I don't want to double post. I would really appreciate any help you can give me so I can restore my ROM
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Not done an adb restore before

As long as when you type

adb devices

And it lists your device (not just blank) it should just restore what ever you backed up

You may have to go into the mount sections of twrp and mount all the partitions before you begin the restore

With regards to xposed - have you tried just flashing the Uninstaller zip?

https://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] app'd:
Sorry I don't understand, can you explain better?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
Download this zip

https://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/uninstaller/xposed-uninstaller-20180117-arm.zip

Flash it in twrp

It will remove xposed and may allow your phone to boot (if it was just to framework that stopped the phone booting - its not guaranteed to work)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] app'd:
I was able to restore my back up using TWRP but now I need to know what exact Xposed framework I would use for my Galaxy S5, any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
If you are using magisk I'd start with the xposed module for magisk (see download section in magisk manager)

For Android 8.1 eg lineage 15.1 use sdk 27

For Android 7.1 eg lineage 14.1 use sdk 25

For stock rom i wouldn't bother as touchwiz has its own framework
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] app'd:
My phone is a Galaxy S5, Android 5.0,ArmV7 processor, Klte, VFPV4 Neon, SDK21, problem now is I don't know how to tell if its touchwiz, anyway I hope this is enough information to determine which xposded framework would work for my device.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFixItMan:
If it is a samsung stock rom then it's touchwiz (touchwiz is the name of the Samsung framework)

Also if you are still on Android 5 your firmware is well out of date - for ktle devices the stock firmware is Android 6

Update your firmware by flashing the latest stock firmware via odin

If you want to use xposed flash a custom rom like lineageos 15.1 (android 8.1) or any asop based rom - you will always have problems with Samsung stock roms and xposed

Also note if you install xposed you will fail the safety net test so some apps that won't work with root will fail to run

however if u wana bring back the stock recovery!

download the Fastboot rom (2.2gb) of same version!

open miFlash

connect usb to device (when device is switchoff) - press all 3 buttons volumes +power while connect usb!

this will put device in EDL (emergency download mode) , qualcom driver has to be installed! (mi flash installs it)

check connection on miflash and Extract and further extract the fastboot rom , it will 7gb of data ! and follow instruction in the miflash to select the RIGHT folder (extracted) so that it will start flashing the device!

it will take 10 mins and device will be flashed clean! and recovery will be re instated

(all data will be lost in the internal storage)

however!

you can also try recovery.img from one of these folders! put it in your sd card

boot redwolf (fastboot boot redwolf.img) and click install image, locate recovery.img and select it, redworlf will ask you to install this file as what? , select RECOVERY.

wola!
