This post includes both non-root and root methods to speed up MIUI and make it better and usable. MIUI is mostly slow and laggish in older devices such as Redmi Note 8. This post is to show how can you speed it up at least a little.
Guide (Without Root)
- Enter settings
- Enter additional settings.
- Enter developer options.
- Set all animations to 0.5 or 0 as marked in the picture.
- Enter settings again
- Enter additional settings.
- Enter developer options.
- Turn on MIUI optimization. This might start disabling unnecessary stuff and speed up the device a little. Please keep in mind that this will also reset all app’s permissions.
