Please pm Gurvin Abruzzi for third party service. His service is good and cheap

MIUI built in apps are pretty crappy TBH
I recommend you to root your phone and use Link2SD to transfer file to your micro sd card.
Better yet, install ported MIUI v6, rock solid for daily usage.

Currently using resurrection remix 5.1.1
Decent battery life with data on 60% of the time.

This is the last 10 post in the thread. Upon reaching post 2200 I will close the thread and make a new one with new content and ROMs in it.


Meanwhile, let me give you my view after using Redmi 1S for 1 year and three months.
This is solidly builts, up till today, the phone is still working fine despite all the abuse I have done to it. You wont even believe how many times I have dropped this face down, corners, tarmac road or tiled floors. It didnt break. It still works fine.


Software wise, the MIUI support is not that great from Xiaomi as they're still on 4.4 but with the help of 3rd Party developers I have Resurrection Remix 5.5.7 based on Android 5.1.1 with The Beast kernel. When I have 50 or 60 apps installed, the phone obviously did not run well. Heck it'd freeze 80% of the time. I did a clean wipe and now I only install social media apps such as Instagram, Whatsapp and Snapchat for them to be fully functional. Otherwise, social media like Facebook and Twitter, I am using web apps for them. That reduced my RAM consumption a lot. I also disabled Chrome which is a RAM hogger and replaced it with Dolphin Browser with the custom HTML5 Engine. Very usable I would say.
I can listen to Spotify with Viper4Android On, surfing lowyat forum and still have 250MB of RAM left.

Battery
Battery life is simply amazing with this little apps. I can get easily get almost an entire day of usage on a single charge. I'm not going go into it much, but I'm leaving the screenshots below.


Final verdicts
The Redmi 1S is still a powerful phone for daily usage apart from the 1GB RAM. It may not be capable for heavy social media apps but what do you expect for a 1GB RAM Android phone. Watching Youtube on this is still very enjoyable without any stutter at 720P which is great. Can you use it as your daily driver still? It depends on how you use your phone. Like me, I dont feel like throwing this away yet as it still works fine. Thus I started using web apps which is perfectly fine. If you want to use social media apps, I suggest you to upgrade from the Redmi 1S as its not capable to do so. But if you're doing it like me, I dont see why its impossible. Its a great robust device and you lower the risk of being robbed since its almost worthless now.

Thats all for now. Thank you if you did read it up to this point.

This phone has a hidden feature, water resistant
Went for a camp at Cameron H. last two weeks
I had lots of outdoors activities and it was raining heavily most of the time I was there. That did not stop me from bringing this phone outdoors.
However, the unexpected happened, it rained HEAVILY when I was playing football.
Heck did I care about the rain. Continue playing with it in my pocket.
When I returned to the Hostel, checked it. It was still working with lots of mud.

Brought it out the second day with rain and it cleaned it good! Water sensors not triggered.
Simply amazing.
