Youβve noticed how your favorite app is on Xiaomi Redmi. 9T So suddenly it flies out of memory, causing you to waste time restarting? This is a typical problem with 6 to 8 GB of RAM, where the system aggressively clears the background processes (RAM). This approach not only speeds up the switching between tasks, but also prevents data loss in instant messengers or games.
In this article, we will understand 5 Proven methods β from built-in functions MIUI to manual settings through ADB. Important: Not all methods are equally effective, and some require unlocking the bootloader or superuser rights.We will be honest about the risks and limitations of each option so you can choose the best one for your Redmi model. 9T (version NFC and Global/China ROM).
Let us dwell in detail on:
- π§ The built-in "Applications Attachment" in MIUI (work-in)
- π± Hidden Developer Settings for Memory Management
- π₯οΈ ADB-commands for forced fixation of processes
- π οΈ Magisk modules for advanced users
- β οΈ Possible consequences: overheating, fast battery discharge, lag
β οΈ Note: Attach more than 3-4 applications simultaneously on Redmi 9T Snapdragon 662 processor may cause system slowdown due to lack of free-of-charge RAM. It is optimal to fix only critical services (for example, Telegram or navigator).
1. Standard fixation through settings MIUI
The easiest way is to use the built-in βApp Lockβ feature available in the latest versions. MIUI 12.5+. It does not require root rights and works on all Redmi modifications. 9T, including Indian and EEA version.
Algorithm of action:
- Open recent apps (swipe up with a delay on the home screen).
- Find the card of the desired application (such as WhatsApp or Google Maps).
- Swipe down the app icon and a menu will appear.
- Select the item "Secure" (icon with a pin).
After that, the application will remain in memory even when cleaning. RAM There are limitations to the method, however, through the Clear Menu button:
- π Works only until the device is restarted - after turning on the fixation will have to be repeated.
- π΅ Not all system applications (such as Mi Video) support anchoring.
- π Can increase battery consumption by 5-10% when fixing heavy applications (games, social networks).

To verify the success of the consolidation:
- Launch the app.
- Get back on the main screen.
- Open Settings β About the phone β Memory status.
- Check if the app is still on the Active list after 5-10 minutes of inactivity.
β οΈ Note: Some of the Redmi firmware 9T With custom cores, the fix function may not be available. MIUI Up to the latest stable version via Settings β Updating the system.
2 Developer settings: limiting processes in the background
If the standard method didn't work, you can manually limit the number of background processes so that the system can lessen the number of applications it needs to unload, and this requires activation of the developer mode.
Steps to set up:
- Activate Developer Mode: Go to Settings β About the phone, tap 7 times on the version MIUI. Enter your Xiaomi account password if required.
Settings β Additional β For Developers

No background processes
Maximum 2 of the process
Effects of change:
- β Applications will stay in memory longer.
- β Increased load on the Snapdragon 662 processor, which can cause overheating with prolonged use.
- π Some services (such as Google Play Services) may become unstable.
| Parameter | No background processes | Max. 2 process. | Max. 4 trial. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stability of work | Low (lags) | Medium | Tall. |
| Retention time of applications in RAM | Maximum. | High. | Average. |
| Battery consumption | +15β20% | +10% | +5% |
| Recommendation for Redmi 9T | Don't use | Optimally. | By default. |
For Redmi. 9T s 4/64 GB 4/128 The best choice is the maximum 2 In the models with the 6 GB RAM can be experimented with a maximum 4 process, but watch the temperature of the body (norm - up to the temperature of the body) 40Β°C to the plain).

After changing the limitations of background processes, restart your phone to avoid accidental disruptions. MIUI.
3.Use of ADB enforceable
For advanced users, there is a way to force the application to lock into memory through ADB (Android Debug Bridge. This method works on all versions of Redmi 9T, but requires a PC connection.
Step-by-step:
- Download and install ADB Tools on your computer.
- Enable USB debugging on your phone: Settings β Additional β For developers β USB debugging.

List of popular packs for fixation:
- π± Telegram: org.telegram.messenger
- π¬ WhatsApp: com.whatsapp
- π΅ Spotify: com.spotify.music
- πΊοΈ Google Maps: com.google.android.apps.maps
β οΈ Note: Some apps (such as Facebook or Instagram) may block work when forced to anchor through a ADB Because of the built-in protection mechanisms, in which case, use alternative methods.
How do you know? UID applications?
To cancel the fixation, execute the command:
adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.RUN --ez lock false --ei uid [UID_ of the appendices]4.Magisk modules for permanent fixation
If you're ready to unlock the bootloader and install Magisk, you can use dedicated memory management modules, which give you maximum control over the processes, but requires technical skills.
Popular modules for Redmi 9T:
- π RAM Optimizer β allows you to manually select applications for fixation.
- π Swift Installer β optimizes the use of RAM and cache.
- π‘οΈ App Systemizer β converts user applications into system applications (protects from unloading).
Installation instructions:
- Unlock the bootloader through the Mi Unlock Tool (the official Xiaomi tool).
- Install custom recovery (TWRP or OrangeFox).
- Sweep through Magisk (the latest version from GitHub).
- Download the module (for example, RAM Optimizer and install it through Magisk Manager.
- Restart the phone and set up a fixation in the module menu.
| Module | Root is required. | Compatibility with MIUI | Risks. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RAM Optimizer | Yes. | 12β14 | Overheating, notification bugs |
| Swift Installer | Yes. | 12.5+ | Conflicts with the topic MIUI |
| App Systemizer | Yes. | Anybody. | Unstable operation of system applications |
β οΈ Note: Installation of Magisk on Redmi 9T In addition, some banking applications (such as SberBank Online) may stop working due to root detection.

Magisk modules give maximum control over the RAM, But they require unlocking the bootloader and they pose a risk to system stability.
5. Alternative methods: Greenify and Automatic Optimization
If previous methods seem complicated, you can use applications to manage background processes, one of the most effective is Greenify (requires root for full functionality).
How to set up Greenify on Redmi 9T:
- Download Greenify from Google Play.
- Provide root access (if any) or activate special features to work without root.
- Add apps to the list of βEutrificationsβ (e.g. Facebook, TikTok).
- Enable the option Aggressive Euthanization for critical applications.
- Activate automatic hibernation in the settings.
The benefits of Greenify:
- π Reduces battery consumption by 10-15%.
- π Accelerates the system by cleaning up unnecessary processes.
- π‘οΈ Works without root, but with limitations (for example, can not fix system applications).
You can use MacroDroid or Tasker to automate the process:
- π€ MacroDroid: Create a macro to run Greenify when you lock the screen.
- βοΈ Tasker: Set up a cleaning task RAM every 2 hours (Time profile) β Every 2H).

In Greenify settings, turn off the Optimization option MIUI, If you notice the lags, it can interfere with the built-in memory management mechanisms.
6 Risks and how to minimize them
Attachment of annexes to RAM β It's not always a safe procedure. 9T With its modest 4β6 GB of RAM, incorrect settings can lead to:
- π₯ Overheating (especially when fixing games or video players).
- π Accelerated battery discharge (up to 20% in 4-5 hours in idle time).
- π’ Slowing down the interface due to lack of free memory.
- π¨ Departure of system services (e.g. Google Play Services).
How to reduce the risks:
- π Fix no more than 2-3 applications at the same time.
- π Clean the cache regularly through Settings β Warehouse β Clear the cache.
- π‘οΈ Keep an eye on the temperature of the processor (use it). CPU Monitor AIDA64).
- π Turn off screen fixation for screen sleep time (via MacroDroid or Tasker).
| Problem. | Reason. | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Phone's slowing down. | Lack of free space RAM | Reduce the number of fixed applications to 1-2 |
| Fast battery discharge | Background activity of fixed applications | Turn off background synchronization in application settings |
| The app is still unloading. | MIUI force-clean RAM | Use it. ADB or Magisk for forced fixation |
| Overheating of the hull | High load on the processor | Limit background processes in the developer settings |
If after fixing the applications, the phone began to spontaneously restart, reset the settings through Settings. β System system β Setting reset (select Application Settings Reset) This will return standard memory management settings without data loss.
