How did it come out so quickly? Does this pass antivirus/malware checks?

I don't follow, if you are afraid of degrading the mmc why did you use the 8Gb mmc for the swap?

There is no such thing as adding ram. What he is doing is adding swap space on an Android which is similar to configuring the paging file settings on Windows.

And its no big secret on how to do it. Theres a guide on the official website:
[Tools, Tips & Tutorials] [HowTo] Expand your RAM using SWAP partition on SD card
*
Nobody say it was a secret sweat.gif sweat.gif . Yes I notice the tutorial above but I found it a bit complicated for a beginner Android user like me. Below is what I did in "easier" way. Source : shared by my expert friend

I am not responsible in any way for damaging your device. Although this is fully tested method do it at your own risk.

Step 1) Root your 1s and buy a class 10 memory card. I am using 8GB for the swap because I feel +1GB memory is more than enough for my usage.

Step 2) Download Roehsoft Ram Expander, it cost RM 15 in Playstore, pay or download the xxxx version from this website : http://9androidapps.com/, your choice.

Step 3) Install and open the software, first adjust the SWPFILE value to the memory size you would like to "add", you can see my value is set to 1000MB because I think it is good enough for my phone. Max you could go is 4000MB. Next set the SWAPPINESS value between 40 - 99. The higher the value the faster the Swap process, hence more chance to damage your sd card sweat.gif . I am using 70 here, so far so good.

Step 4) Take a look at the RAM FREE value, it shown your current ram information. Finally touch the SWAP ACTIV at the top, wait for it to process. You're done , now refer to the bottom TOTAL FREE value and see your phone fly thumbup.gif

The software also come with a widget that display memory infor. Just go to your widget screen and drag it out to the home screen.

This is not a full solution for our phone ram issue, still hope Xiaomi could rectify it soonest possible. Thanks for reading.

You can go to play store and read the software review, so far no user complain about mmc die, the developer say he is using for 3 years without any problem.

Hi,

Just want to ask about battery life. Is it reasonable and can last up until evening after office hour? Because my current phone (S3 mini, changed to 2000mAh battery) only can stand up until 2-3pm, then have to plug in powerbank.

I'm moderate-to-heavy user btw

After using the phone, I can safely say that the 1S is poor-fair on battery life in general.
Browsing mostly text/pics and gps apps on wifi I can get about a little over 5 hours continuous, on 3g about 3.5hours. I don't believe a poster on the official forums who said that he got 1.5 days of battery life for normal use which included browsing over 3g for a few hours, 1hour of gaming etc.

This review said the video loop test gave slight over 5hours.

Turning on/off wifi/data manually helps and I can get through a day without charging which is just about good enough for me.
