unused ram is wasted ram. have u actually encountered issues with the phone due to lack of ram?
my rn4 3gb used to auto close my discord while playing pubgm. rn5 4gb keeps it open while having 1.1gb free ram.

did u not debloat the chinese rom?

Uninstall all the preinstalled app then set everything to google as default.

not all apps can be uninstalled

and i haven't figured out how to make google play the default app store. when i accidentally click adds for google play it just leads to the mi store.

any tips?

Turn off miui optimization and restart then can select default market app
Got another method need to convert into system app but very bothersome

best is rly just flash RR or LOS, the ram usage really very low compared to China Miui. I nearly fainted when I was trying out because ads and weird notifications just appear everywhere and out of nowhere

Does video stabilization work?

Anyway you didnt explore before flashing. most chinese apps can be uninstalled

I disabled miui optimisation but can't find default market app selection

Where is this option?

Download open camera, find the stabilization option and record. Disable then record and compare to see any difference.

I tried gcam, much faster than on mi Max when processing hdr.

Video stabilization in gcam is crap. Has wobbly effect. Some users say their miui camera doesn't work after enabling camera2api but no problems for me.

What about picture quality? Are photos/videos taken with gcam much better than stock miui camera? Then can use potrait mode?

Note 5 China Gcam vs miui

Spoiler

No light
miui:

gcam:

Good light
miui:

Gcam:

Poor light:
miui:

gcam:

Mi Max Gcam for comparison

More miui samples https://photos.app.goo.gl/ggjn51kNpJBg5NDW2
For good lighting doesnt matter miui or gcam. for low light use gcam.

One good thing about note 5 is the amazing focus. Really fast and no problem under low light.
Portrait mode works for both app
miui portrait gives nice blur

The main camera for note 5 is S5K2L7 which has 1/2.56" sensor size, slightly bigger than mi max ov16880 with 1/3.06-inch
