Tricks to improve performance in MIUI 11
Format your phone after a big update
Every time we install a major operating system update or customization layer, it is advisable to format the phone and start from scratch with it, as if it had been taken out of the box at that moment. It is not necessary to do it when they are small updates to correct errors, or to install a certain security patch, but it is necessary when it is heavy and brings with it numerous variations and modifications. This is the case of MIUI 11. Nothing will happen if you do not format, you can install the update and continue using the phone as usual, but it is always advisable to do so, especially for the performance of the phone, to prevent it from going slow and with delays, jerks or screen locks.
To format the phone with MIUI 11 we must perform the following simple steps
- We open the phone settings application
- Click on the first option that appears: 'About the phone'
- Now, we look at the last section of all, ' Backup and reset '
- We go back to the bottom, 'Delete all data'
- On the last screen, we click on ' Reset phone '
- We accept and wait for the process to be completed
Reduce the effect of animations
When we open applications and move between the different options of the phone, it offers us animation effects to offer a more attractive user experience. It is true that these animations can also offer a feeling of slowness on our mobile, so we can increase the speed of these effects. To do this we have to 'unlock' the well-known 'developer options', a menu that remains hidden from the factory and that thanks to it we can adjust the phone more in depth.
To unlock the development options menu, we are going to go, as in the previous case, to the phone settings and then to the first section, 'About the phone'. Now, we click several times on ' MIUI version ' until a small window appears warning us that the menu has been unlocked correctly.
We go back to the phone settings and look for the 'Additional settings' section. Inside, we click on 'Developer options'. Within the 'Design' section we look at three different options, 'Window animation level', 'Transitions animation level' and 'Animation duration level'. I advise putting each one of them in 'Animation scale.5x' but we can also deactivate them completely so that the sensation of speed is even greater.
Once modified, you can exit the screen without doing anything else, since the saving is automatic.
Use the cleaning app
One of the best options for those of us who use Xioami with MIUI is the 'Security' application that comes pre-installed on the phones. With it we can streamline and optimize our phone by performing periodic scans, as well as cleaning our phone quickly and easily. To do this, we are going to find the 'Security' application and we are going to click on it.
As soon as you open it, the application will perform an automatic scan to optimize the mobile and make it go faster. If we press 'optimize' the application, it will automatically set up the phone. When we leave, he will let us know if we want to clean the phone. On the main screen, we also have the ' Thorough cleaning ' section in which, in addition to deleting heavy files, we can see the applications that we use the least to uninstall them, and the apps that are spending the most data.
Restart your Xiaomi mobile with MIUI 11
Just like your computer must be restarted, from time to time, especially if it is going to stay for long hours without shutting down, you should also proceed with your phone. When turned off and on, the phone will restore its functions, offering the user greater speed and agility. To restart the Xiaomi phone with MIUI 11 you just have to either hold the on and off button for about ten seconds or press that same button for a few seconds and then click on 'Restart'.
Remove apps from multitasking
Every time we open an application on our Xiaomi with MIUI 11, it stays open in the background, consuming RAM. The more applications we open, the more RAM we will see consumed and our mobile will diminish its performance. If you see that your phone is not going fast enough, try to open multitasking and delete all open applications at once, by pressing the 'X' button that appears.
Uninstall applications in MIUI 11 without root privileges
When we open our Xiaomi phone for the first time we realize that it already comes with several pre-installed applications. And not all of them are as useful as the 'Security' one and they only come to occupy space, waste battery and even slow down our phone. If you want to uninstall unnecessary applications that cannot be eliminated by the traditional method, in this link we explain how to do it in a very simple way. Just make sure you follow the steps and don't delete any apps that you have doubts about. We are not responsible for any damages that you may cause to your phone if you perform this procedure.
Clear the cache of phone applications
And we finish the tricks to optimize MIUI 11 we are going to teach you how to clear the cache of the applications you have on your phone. To do this, we are going to go to the phone settings and look for the 'Applications' section.
In 'Manage applications' we can sort them according to status, name, frequency of use, storage or start time'. If we click on one of them we can find, at the bottom, a bar with the option ' Clear data '. Click on it and finish the process in 'Clear cache'.
