Ram Jet in Xiaomi: what is this process, where it comes from and how to remove it correctly

If you notice a strange name Ram Jet on your Xiaomi or Redmi running processes, don't panic, it's not a virus or a system bug. But it's also a useful feature. It often raises questions among users: whether it optimizes your smartphone or loads your system and drains your battery. In this article, we'll look at what Ram Jet is, why it appears on Xiaomi devices, and most importantly, how to safely remove it without disrupting the stability of your phone.

We warn you right away that not all removal methods are equally safe, some "tips" from the Internet can lead to system failure or loss of warranty, we have collected only proven methods that work on current versions of MIUI 14/15 and HyperOS, and also explain in which cases Ram Jet is better not to touch.

What is Ram Jet and why is it needed in Xiaomi?

Ram Jet is not an official Xiaomi app, but a third-party service that is often installed alongside some games or “optimizers” from Google Play or third-party sources, and is primarily used to manage RAM to speed up applications.

• 🔋 Increased battery consumption – the process runs in the background and constantly consumes resources.
• 🐢 Slowing down the system – instead of optimizing it, it can cause lags due to conflicts with built-in mechanisms MIUI.
• 📱 Heating the device - active use RAM Increases the load on the processor.
• 🚫 Advertising and data collection – some versions of Ram Jet show ads or share information about your device.

Interestingly, on Xiaomi forums, users often confuse Ram Jet with the built-in RAM Cleanup feature in MIUI. These are completely different things! System cleaning is part of the firmware, and Ram Jet is third-party software that can (and often needs to) be removed.

Where does Ram Jet come from on Xiaomi smartphones?

There are a few ways that this process gets to your device, and let's look at the most common ones.

1. Installation with games: Many mobile games (especially those in the booster or cheater category) automatically load Ram Jet as an “additional performance module”: Free Fire, some modifications of PUBG Mobile or Call of Duty: Mobile.
2. Apps like DU Speed Booster, Clean Master or Game Turbo (not to be confused with the official MIUI Game Turbo!) can install Ram Jet without your knowledge.
3. Banner ads: Sometimes you just click on a suspicious ad in a browser or other application to load in the background. APK-rat-file.
4. Hacked apps: If you install pirated versions of programs (like Spotify Premium, Netflix with mods), there’s a good chance you’ll catch up with them.

It’s important to understand that the Ram Jet is never part of Xiaomi’s standard firmware, and if you see it on a new phone, it’s either installed by you (unconsciously) or by the seller (unlikely in official stores).

💡

Check the list of installed applications in Settings → Applications → Application Management. Sort by installation date – it is easier to find “extra” programs.
