Buggy/laggy in-game sounds on oreo roms - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

Is there any way to fix the buggy/laggy sounds inside games? Are there workarounds or roms not affected by that problem?

Which game you are playing? Currently I just now switched to DOT OS 2.5 Oreo 8.1.
If you wish I can try particular game that you are having issue with because I did not have in game sound issue except for pubg mobile.
If you are having issue with pubg mobile then you are not alone it happens with me too.
I think It's a bug from their end and I hope they fix it soon in future update if it so.
Sometime the I can't even able to hear sound unless and until I restart the game.

Is it true that DOT OS has great battery back up? I've been wanting to use Dot OS, but i really haven't tried it because i've been spoiled to the customization that Havoc OS has.

DOT OS has good battery backup i get around 8 hours of SOT on my Redmi 4X.
on Mobile data( 4G ) it down to 4 or 5 hours of SOT which is quite normal.
while playing PUBG mobile device with WIFI do get warm but does not lags(or at least i have not yet experienced) with mobile data heat increases.
i don't know but i haven't got any rom that doesn't heat or give at least moderate warm except for MIUI 9 and 10 Global beta builds which i no longer use.
DOT OS has good customizations but HAVOC OS has taken that to next level. there are some features you'll find in HAVOC OS but not in DOT OS.
nevertheless both are great ROMs out there for Redmi 4X i've chosen DOT OS for one important reason that while on DOT OS my Redmi 4X heat up so much than regular, i did like the HAVOC OS and want to use it but both OREO and PIE builds giving same issue which keeping me away from it.

Ahh, the heating issue while charging device.
The device gets heat up even battery area too which is concerning for me.
I haven't rooted with DOT OS 2.5 currently because there's no need of root for now for me.
It should have work on DOT OS 2.5. Maybe try downloading latest stable or beta build again and flash again.

Pokemon Go on Redmi 2

This is by far the biggest surprise my Redmi 2 gave me:
This game shows the min requirements as 2GB RAM. But yeah I do know we could somehow manage with 1 GB. So, for a better performance I was using CM 13 and decided to start playing the game. But the game lagged a lot, battles were like impossible to be made. I even tried few other ROMS like Nexus, RR, Slim and Snapshot( this was a bit better). I wasn't satisfied but then I shifted to MIUI as I wanted to test the new MIUI 8. But when I started playing the game here, it stopped lagging :fingers-crossed: ( It seldom lags). I couldn't believe it. My friend asked me if its lagging on my phone while he was using RR. I told him the same and it surprised him the same way it did to me. Did anyone else notice this? Anyone with custom ROMS able to play lag-free?
i'm able. it's ok in the most of the time. but my redmi 2 is pro version.

custom roms....
Orion mm latest build (cam also good)
tipsy
and plus point in these custom roms ---u can use fake gps also...i used n tested...so i m saying...
I love the pure Android experience, but I also came back to MIUI (now MIUI 8 beta) because apps seems to lag less.
I'm playing Pokémon GO but my problem is with GPS, sometime it doesn't fix or stuck and I need to restart the game.
YOu can try on miui 7 i play on that
I installed Orion in my phone and performance on Pokémon GO is worse than with MIUI 7/8.
i'm currently playing in miui 8 latest update, and it seems fine, except when you are under the sun and charging the phone then the cpu throttles xD
2gb version

I had that problem early on when I just started using MIUI. Later, it went well. I used to turn from High accuracy to other modes and then switch back. It worked sometimes.

Is it worth buying Redmi 4x in Q3 2018?

Hello folks. I've been using Moto X Style for about a 1,5 year and I'm tired. Development is slowing down, the phone is really big (my previous one was LG L90). For some time I was looking for a nice, compact smartphone with good battery and decent price. Redmi 4X seems to fit my needs, but is it worth buying now? As far as I know the longer battery is kept unused, the worst condition it has - is 4X still being produced? How about development - how many LOS version may this phone get yet? How is battery life?
Or are there newer models which could fill my needs? 150mm height is too much for me; I like compact smartphones - otherwise I would get Lenovo P2 - that is a beast. Actually I tought that Sony Xperia XA2 would be nice, but that price...
What do you guys think?
Buy redmi 5

As I mentioned, 150mm height is too much. I wish I had more compact smartphone.
Redmi 4x's android version range is 6-8 and thanks to treble we booted android p dev previews. About battery life my SoT records are: RR Luis build nougat 8hr 35min RR Luis build oreo 8h 12min android p dev preview 7h 3min
Project Treble seems promising. I wonder how long Android will keep compatibility with it. How about your opinions, then? Do you like this smartphone? Are you happy with it? Would you buy it again?

My previous phone was zenfone 6 (6 inch display x86 cpu) I was in your situation. It isnt even fit on pocket, lack of development, etc. Redmi 4x seems fine after 6 inch junk. 5 inch display, more custom rom support, Camera is amazing with gcam (miui default cam is fine too), 8 core cpu. Gaming performance is great and also it is cheap. Im definitely happy with redmi 4x

If u want to compact phone, santoni is best choice
Redmi 4X has several ROM's even project treble supported ROM's too.
Custom kernels available too.Development is quite good.
I think xiaomi less likely to make 5inch device in future too because as they are releasing newer devices in the range of 5.5 to 5.9 inches. For e.g. Redmi 6 has 5.5 inch display Maybe they produce 5 inch display phone with tight budget in future e.g. Redmi 4A.
I would say at least go for SD 625 device if there is any 5 inch device.
You've mentioned you might go for Lenovo P2 which has 5.5 inch display considering this Redmi 5 would be fine since it has 5.7 inch display and SD 450 and it's better than SD 435 and has same GPU as SD 625.
If there's any xiaomi store out there near by you live then try out newer xiaomi device yourself to get better decision on which device to get.
SD 435 is based on 28nm technology and now almost all new SD chipsets are based on 14nm or lower so it's better to get this devices.
With using only mobile data on Redmi 4X I do need to charge device in evening or night.
With mix usage it lasts 1½ days which translates roughly around 8 hours of sot. On MIUI 8 I used to get around 10hours of sot.
If you buy Redmi 4X now there's very chance that your phone will have white color notification LED.
Do let us know which one you buy
In the end I bought Redmi 4X since it was quite cheap. It fits nice in my hand. I'm not using it as daily yet, but "play" with it now.
Can you suggest me some nice custom roms (with as little bugs as possible)? Or maybe miui is the way to go (global or xiaomi.eu?). I just wish I could deactivate fingerprint scanner (I don't use it, but touching it with finger accidentaly wakes phone) and remove/disable some google apps. I heard root on miui is available on xiaomi.eu version.
First(I am sure you know it) get device's bootloader unlocked, it a quiet hectic process and will take few days.
The custom ROM's I'll recommend you are list below.
I have personally tried all of them and they are pretty good almost bugless, with good battery backup.
I haven't tried any custom kernel so can't say anything about them. If you wish you can try.
All of them are Oreo based.
1. Resurrection Remix OS.
2. DOT OS.
3. Nitrogen OS.
4. Havoc OS.
I recommend the new Xaiomi Mi A2 lite. It´s very handy too.

Any drawabacks on RR? I heard battery does not last as long on custom as on miui. How about camera and flashlight gestures? Can I set double click on power/volume button to trigger them? Or long click?
sorry doublepost
Of course no. Sd 435 is too old for q3 2k18. I think the minimum soc right now is sd636 (redmi note 5, and other phone with that soc). Iam currently using redmi 4x, but I'll trade this phone to a newer xiaomi (I dont have a lot of money, so i'll choose xiaomi)

I didn't faced any bugs since my usage was using social media apps,some photo editing apps, calls, camera (gcam) and playing PUBG mobile and clash royale.
I noticed the battery drain faster while playing pubgm in rr than miui so yes it does eat more battery when comparing it to miui. Using custom kernel you may get good battery life.
When using it on 4G LTE the battery was draining fast too and experienced device to go warm.
Yes, you can set camera button as far as I remember.
The last time i used rr was in last two weeks of April and early few days of May.
Last build was released in April and later there's no update made available yet.
I think we'll be looking at directly Android P based rr in next update.
To get latest security patch and Android P experience I moved to DOT OS and it's a good build and it also has all the customization that are available in rr and so does the havoc OS.
In my opinion all custom ROM's doesn't have battery backup like MIUI but it's not bad it's decent.
Flashlight gesture I don't know I didn't tried that but it should be available there.
Currently I am using MIUI 10 Global beta and battery backup is good I get SOT around 8 hours with mix usage but again when using 4G LTE it drops down to 4 or 5 hours of SOT.
Battery saver helps a little bit so it's turned on all the time.

I am currently using AOSP EXTENDED. It is smooth and bugless. It's Oreo based.
Use havoc os with phantom kernel (thunder plug hotplug) (alucard governor) you'll be amazed. HAVOC OS > Dot OS in both battery life and performance and fluidity.
10+ SOT

10+ hours of SOT is just fantastic.
I(or rather we) used to had such SOT on MIUI 8.
I'll try this combinations soon in few days, currently on MIUI 10 Global beta 8.8.2.
Does firmware version matter?

Best Battery Life ROM for Mi Max 2

Hi, i see a lot of ROM in the rom section for XDA, and I am currently on MIUI 9, and the battery life on this phone have significantly downgraded, does anyone have a reason for this? This phone can only last one day, whereas before it was able to last two days constantly. Majority of the consumption is via Google play services and the Google play store, and I have tried many attempts to fix this drain but failed miserably. So, I was wondering if any can recommend be a battery efficent ROM with everything working, bug-free and would also like to use Magisk, I just web browse and play videos, nothing too taxing on the CPU or GPU, so I don't need a high performance ROM. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
the best ROM for battery life is xuefer LOS 14.1 based on Android 7.1.2, hands down and very stable as well, have used it for half a year as a daily driver. just of course be aware thats it "only" Nougat, not Oreo, and LOS has not as many customization options as other custom ROMs out there.

be sure to:
- limit screen brightness to minimum levels you need
- switch off any and all sensors you dont need (wifi, mobile data when on wifi, gps, bluetooth, etc.)
- optimize cpu/gpu/IO governors, clocks, schedulers to your needs
- set app permissions and restrictions for each individual app to your specific needs
i know this is a lot of work, i do it myself every time i installed a new rom. but u only do it once and then u can enjoy maximum battery life i averaged around 18 hours SOT on xuefer, with MSM Oreo and now on ArrowOS Pie im getting around 16h SOT on average.

Very strong heating issue

Hello. So I'm currently at MIUIPro 9.1.1.0 and my phone version is 2\16 china. First of all, it heats too much on mobile net. Outside when it's around 25 degrees celsius battery goes up to 40-41 even though I'm just browsing. In games it heats to a temperature when I can boil water. Around 1 hour ago I was playing PUBG on low, air temp was around 25 and battery gone up to 47 (!!!) degrees, and the cpu (tsens_tz_sensor 0-10) was 70-75 degrees! I am just afraid of my phone blowing up in my hands. Is this a bad firmware or a hardware defect?
Flash a custom ROM. It is not a hardware issue. MIUI is the problem. It also heats like hell when charging, right? I am using Lineage OS for months and temp hardly rises above 25-30. even when gaming for 2-3hrs.
Considering your given information it doesn't seems to be hardware issue to me.
Things cause heating while when using mobile data are Buggy software or low network.
You are using MIUI Pro which is based on MIUI China ROM, check if there's any MIUI Pro update available if so then try updating it.
Temperature around 40° Celsius is pretty normal when you are playing PUBG Mobile with Mobile data.
You'll also see quick battery drain than usual and may will see little lag.
Try using Xiaomi Eu ROM if you don't like original MIUI or you may try either of any custom ROM,MIUI China or global stable/beta ROM to check if you face same issue.

Leeco Le 2 X526 games issue

Hello XDA friends, I have tried all the stock versions of EUI but in all I have a single problem and it is the performance in games like call of duty or free fire, the fps drops too much, I have tried with custom versions of Android like 8, 9, 10 and the games are excellent, but they bring other problems such as that the microphone sounds low, it overheats (even though I am not playing) the camera application is terrible, I wonder if you could help me solve this problem of the EUI rom , I would really appreciate it.

Try lineage 15, havoc Oreo version or dot os Oreo version,
Or try flashing custom kernels
Lineage is one of the most stable rom, dot os and havoc Oreo is good for gaming.
