Many people complaint about hot and lagging in APP/game in MIUI even if the spec for their device is good in paper.
The reason here very likely is MIUI roms restricting almost all APP/game in standard usage. (eg. directly clicking the game icon from the launcher)
If you want to have a better experience, but still want to stay with MIUI, here's a simple illustrated guide to Try.
(Not guaranteed definite improvement, some APP/game are poorly designed and not optimized)
Root is not needed. Guide for newbies. Feature offered by MIUI.
If you are in MIUI roms, start your APP/game using the built-in "Game Turbo". (Don't know which MIUI version it starts having this)
It will let the APP/game run smoother and (s)lower heat generation. (not "no heat", just "(s)lower", a bit )
2 places to find "Game Turbo" setting
1A) In settings, find and click "Special features"

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next, click "Game Turbo"
1B) Press the "Security" app [It may ask to agree or not data collecting, I always denied, but you can still proceed]
Next scroll down and find "Game Turbo"
2) In the "Game Turbo" app
3) Press "+" to add APP/game
4) Add any APP/game you want it to run better. (I debloated intensively, and did not install much apps, so not much in the list, but you can see Magisk is inside)
End note
So if you think any APP/game is not running smooth enough in MIUI, first try adding it in the game turbo. (even Youtube can be placed inside)
Here's someone with his Xiaomi Redmi K30 5G comparing between standard and game-turbo using Geekbench. (Source)
Standard test (not in Game mode)
Game turbo test (Adding Geekbench app inside)
Obvious improvement outcome.
Wrote this in POCO X3 pro, but it's not limited to this device, as long as the MIUI has this option.
Otherwise you can use Custom Roms and kernels.
Last note
Always keep in mind that everything comes at a price, you increase performance, you may loose more battery charge.
And I don't recommend using while charging. The device will be very hot and bad to your battery in long term. Heat will damage many part of the phone, and can even burn you. (Literally)
If you are wealthy enough to change your phone so frequently that you don't even want to concern the long term damage to phones, then forget about it and go for the TOP. (And coffee for me )
You can copy/paste with XDA thread as source.
Nice one, tho you can just cut it all of and say: put your desired apps into game turbo

Hey XDA! I think you guys will be able to appreciate the Apple humor here more than anyone else It was inspired by Dilbert: http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2010-09-23/
Reality Distortion Field (RDF) is a technology that enables one to manipulate reality itself. It has been used for decades by highly influential people to excite, convince, and rally; to bring peace and to incite wars; and mostly to sell mediocre gadgets at premium prices.
For the first time, the secret to the RDF is revealed. The Reality Distortion Field app by Elemris is the first and only to bring this incredible power to your Android phone. Using space-age science, this app allows you to project a small Reality Distortion Field around you to help in your daily life.
Influence your peers… charm anyone... have people marvel at your smartphone even if it has a tiny 3.5 inch screen … now you can have it all.
The RDF is maintained by the battery's electric energy. However the battery drain is minimal because the battery is being fed back by Reality Distortion energy from inside the field. In effect battery life may last longer than usual.
New: SHAKE your device, and the app will convert your body's kinetic energy into RDF energy, for a temporary energy boost.
Results may vary; use for entertainment.
Works best if used at least 3 times a day.
Support
If you run into any problems using Reality Distortion Field, please tell us and we'll do our best to help. As you probably know, it's not possible to provide support through the Android Market - so contact me directly either at elemris.com/contact-us or here on XDA. Thanks for your feedback and support! and if you like our app, please rate and comment and let the world know

Love it.
We need more Apps like this!
Although not to everyones taste no doubt.

Regarding the last two user posts:
Come again?
<Insert Facepalm here>
This app comes preinstalled on idevices correct?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Yes indeed. Though I hear the RDF implementation in iOS 5 is not functioning correctly.
Hi!
So I've had this idea knocking around in my head for a while, and finally banged it together over the last week or so. Basically the speed of the snake reflects the current CPU load of the phone, and it's length reflects RAM usage.
There's a bit of a settings screen, so you can change the colour of the snake, as well as what the speed and length represent (the third option is number of processes running), and change how often it polls the system for new values.
I'm planning to release this version (more or less) on the Market for free, along with a paid version with more advanced settings (surprise!).
If you have time, please install it, try it out, and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear about:
Crashes (along with logcat output if possible )
General battery usage (should be pretty good, but, y'know)
Any other problems you might run across
How your day is going
How smoothly it runs on your phone
Suggestions of more system settings to display
And more ways to display them
What you had for breakfast
Any other settings you'd like to see!
Thanks very much for taking the time to read, I hope you like the wallpaper!
Mark
I ll try it now and would surely report back.
Excellent How about the color of the snake (green yellow red) as the battery stats? Or at least optional

+1 that would be useful
General feedback:
* Simple, cool and geeky design (that's a good thing)
* Lag free
* Maybe add an option for the size of the snake (i.e how big the blocks are). I quite like the current size, but others might like different sizes.
I've added some screenshots for you hope they help! I had no idea how to make the images smaller... sorry :<

Hi,
so far it works perfect (Nexus S, stock 4.0.3). No lags, no crashes and basically now battery usage.
I would like to e. g. keep my regular wallpaper but to have a small "window" and have the snake in this window. Combined with the colour depending on the battery stats this would be a great feature...
Is there any possibility of some working screenshots? I recommend some image hoster.
I noticed that there are many people using AOSP roms (CM mostly) and are unsatisfied with the S-Pen experience. Now there are couple of applications that bring S-Pen sheer awesome back from dead ('Reset S-Pen' for calibration and 'GMD Control' for gesturing), so there's that.
Out of these many people, there are few who notice that even when S-Pen is calibrated, whenever Note goes in landscape mode, the cursor still is following portrait calibration. This is problem 1.
Problem 2 is out of these few people, there are even fewer people, like myself, who are left-handed. So when we go from Stock to AOSP/AOKP/AOSPA/CM/"Insert ROM here", we are screwed pretty much from the beginning.
So, wrapping up the *****ing, here is something I created on Tasker to ease my life, and I hope it teases your's too.
NOTE: I'm a left handed person and everytime android restarts, it sets hand preference to Right hand. So 2 of these tasks automatically set dominant hand to left whenever any of the profiles are matched.
Installation Instruction:
0. Get Tasker from Playstore if you don't already have. It is THE AUTOMATION TOOL for Android devices, makes your phone actually "smart".
1. Download Tasker.zip (or save it, you know what I meant).
2. Open the archive and extract the lonely folder "Tasker" into your sdcard (internal sd if phone has, well, internal sd).
3. Open Tasker. Now if my profiles, tasks and scene isn't already listed, don't worry, just open menu and select Data>Restore. From there you may either get a warning Dialogue to Restore or a file explorer inside Tasker folder containing Backup.xml. Either way, just Restore.
4. Use common/non-sense and activate profiles accordingly.
X. If you're on CM10.2, you can flash this. Replaces Vanilla Black Arrow Cursor with Samsung stock S-Pen cursor. Extremely helpful if you like doodling or drawing.

Hi guys! Here’s Co & Do’s APP Recommendation Channel!
We are all fans of Android and are thrilled about variety of productive, funny and easy-to-use apps, no doubt (this curiosity is our secret of making such a great app like AirDroid, to be honest).
Remember the classic scenes of Professor X reading the mind of others in X-Men? It’s pretty cool. But we know that’s not real. How about apps that can read your mind? That’d be much much cooler! Co & Do’s Channel this week is gonna recommend you such an app that will “read” your mind: Gravity Screen - On/Off by Plexnor.

Unlike other apps, you’ll be greeted by a row of settings instead of icons when you open this app:
Seemingly complicated? Nope! You’ll find this app quite simple when you continue.
How It Works:
Gravity Screen *On/Off determines whether to turn on or off your phone’s screen by using gravity sensor and proximity sensor of your phone. It is also based on screen orientation and motion detection.
To be more specific, the phone’s screen will be turned on automatically when it detects that you’re holding the phone. Any small movements of the phone will turn on the screen, too. If the phone has been placed onto a table downward or been put into the pocket, the screen will be turned off. See how the magic performs with the following video:
If you leave all settings of this app as default but find it doesn’t work properly on your phone, you may try increase/decrease the angles at which the screen will be turned on/off or modify the sensors’ sensitivity level. Customized settings usually perform better than default ones:
Generally, this app works well on my phone most of the time. But according to the developer, the accuracy of this app varies from one phone to another, which mainly depends on the preciseness and accuracy of your phone’s sensors. It is recommended to do some tests before you start using this app.
One thing that may bother you is the battery. Personally, I don’t experience serious battery drain issue with this app. One tip for saving battery: place your phone face down when you don’t use it.
Feel excited about this app? Does anyone think about installing this app on the phone with a broken power button? I did. I was thrilled when I found this app at first, thinking that I can use my Nexus 4 normally though the power button is broken. But then Dora reminds me, “Hey, so you need to make sure that your phone’s battery will never die.” That’s indeed true. But it doesn’t really matter. Not all of you suffer the same pain as me. Anyway, just give it a shot. And don’t forget to share with those whose power button is broken, may be a lifesaver
Gravity Screen - On/Off is available on Google Play for free. It also provides a pro version which will cost you $1.97.
Hello!
A succint presentation first of all:
I am a power user who likes to browse the internet desktop style, this means I use custom desktop user agent (X11; Linux x86_64). I operate in landscape most of the time and use a reduced screen dpi value for sites and apps to think my screen is a lot bigger (at times I reduce it to actual desktop monitor levels). Take a peek:

Been using Chrome for some years already, with the usual root user user agent hack and many flag optimizations. It still is a great browser imho, but it is starting to seriously stink. If I do recall correctly with the v62 update the address bar tab switching slide left/right thing received an animation which degraded its performance from flawless instant into slow piece of crap. Also at that point or some version later my keyboard's Enter/Go key started turning into Next in some search fields where it shouldn't (this is nothing major as the ALT key forces normal operation). In the recent v71 they removed the homepage links to Bookmarks :crying: and Downloads. When I downgraded from v71 to a previous version, the browser deleted all the files it had in his download history from my device's Download folder (this is super bad and a serious violation of privacy). With the very latest update which for now I am going to uninstall, they have added another stupid animation to the page search engine which of course cripples it considerably when using it in pages with a lot of content. As an example, when searching for a device in the Batteries and chargers' section at lygte-info.dk the search was instant before that upgrade downgrade, now it takes many orders of magnitude more time, i.e. it's a slow piece of sh1t.
It's going downhill or so it seems to me. What a waste of development efforts.
In essence, my question is what are the possible alternatives. I like good bookmark management (with folders and search function) and cloud syncing. I despise explicit and/or slow interface animations, I despise unnecessary crap getting in the way of my high FoV. The more flexibility and options the better.
C'mon, say something.
