Looking for a case for the Mi Pad. Any suggestions?

I've flashed this on dad's redmi 1s:

To fix overheating, underclock the CPU to 1.2-1.3 GHz using No Frillz CPU control.

No Frillz CPU Control doesn't work. I'm on 1.19GHz and it's still overheating like before.
Anything else?

I think there are plenty of options for redmi now
Check its subsection on XDA
With custom kernels people are getting 5 hours + sot and so on
From what I have read the "xcelerate". Kernel seems to be the one that gives good efficiency,
Wanted to test it myself, but sis has become a big fan of miui and its themes... Women!

Will look into that.

You should give paranoid a shot. I love that rom.

CM11 feels great to me. Don't think I'll move to another ROM soon.

If that didn't work, I don't know what else will. Have you tried hibernating apps using greenify?

Yep. Will flashing kernels work in any way?

Well I cant say for sure but you should be able to control your cpu frequencies after flashing custom kernel
But for redmi you need to flash cyanogen mod or other custom roms too, I don't think there is a kernel that's useable with native rom
It's pretty easy to revert back to original rom if you want to
It's better to flash and see how it pans out for you

 

[TheHumanBot]

only reason i am not flashing to custom rom is it will like any other android device :S

Yes, you can increase battery life by just selecting smartass 2 CPU scheduler.

Kernel is a different story all together. CM already has it's kernel.

Am I missing something here?

But it isn't helping me with the overheating

mine works fine, it only over heats when i use too many apps, with high network usage...........

dude, go to xda and try the xcelerate kernel, read the thread about it ,i think you should be able to get some kind of solution, it has optimised a lot of parameters, i have seen people posting images of heavely underclocked cpus
they are using another app called synapse to change the parameters , so you will have to go through the last few pages to find the settings others are using
since i dont own the device , i cant say for sure , it will all work ,so the only way for you to find out is to try out the options on XDA, or ask around that forum, there is QnA thread
bear in mind to read and find out what to do and what not to do

Thanks. Are you using this one? Is the seller a reliable one?

Guys I found that whenever I play music on my Redmi1s the phone seems to vibrate. Is that problem with the phone or some settings?
