In this thread I'll share some resources that can improve your experience for Redmi Note 13 4G.

As a side note, I can't stress enough that this is NOT a thread for asking HOW to install a recovery or how to attain root access, as there are PLENTY of guides available on the web. This is just a "collection" of links.

Besides YouTube Revanced , do you need root for all of these ?

Yes.

Do you use ChicKernel? What is your experience with it? Is your device smoother during multitasking? Do you notice any improvement?

I did a basic security check of the files and didn’t find anything suspicious, so I’m thinking about flashing this kernel but depends on whether the performance gain is noticeable.

gotta test it yourself, dude, our device may be the same, but not our setup (apps, modules), so, flash away, if you don't like the performance, you can always flash your OG boot.img (from your xiaomi.eu rom zip)

My experience is better since I flashed chickernel, I'm using ksun+susfs variant, maybe the battery, I feel it drains a little bit faster, but it's a fair deal.

I already did yesterday, but without root. I can definitely feel difference in multitasking.

My usual phone use is Google maps + 2x excel table + Spotify for whole day and switching between tabs feels much better. For me battery is the same.

i have 1 problem with it and that is when charging with original charger, phone gets hot.
Other then that, it's better then stock kernel for sure.

Thanks for recommendation.
