This question is asked by many users new to android or Redmi 1s or MIUI. Keep in mind that Redmi 1s is a best phone in its price range but you have to play some tricks to make it perform more for you. So here you go. ALL-IN-ONE solution is here. Read every steps and follow it as it is very very very important.
1. Fit the battery and charge it to full 100%. Don't use it during this time. Otherwise it will be heated like hell.
2. Then Connect to internet, open updater app and check for latest update. Update to latest version.

3. Then do a factory reset by going to Settings-> Backup & reset.

Things needed to be copied into your SD card.

Root zip file
unroot zip file
TWRP Recovery zip file
A MIUI global stable rom zip file
CM 11 ROM zip file (Optional)
setCPU apk file
Autorun Manager Pro apk file
Greenify apk file

4. Root your device.

Explanation: I know u will ask "will it void device warranty?".
The answer is No. As there is always a way to unroot it.
You will not get ota update of new miui versions if u will not unroot it. So u need both root and unroot zip file present inside your sdcard.

5. Then Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.

Explanation: What is recovery why it is needed?

Recovery is to take a backup of the current ROM that is installed on your device. If any software problem happens to your device in future u can simply restore this backup and you will get back your device.
You can also flash new roms using this TWRP recovery. There are already CM 11 and Mokee rom available to flash based on Android 4.4.4 kitkat.

6. Take a TWRP backup every month or if you are doing lots of thing using your mobile I will reccomended to take backup every week.

7. Take a MIUI local backup every week. Transfer that backup to PC for safety.

Advanced Things to do:

Before proceeding further make sure u have taken a TWRP backup of your current ROM. Transfer the TWRP folder from your phone to PC for safety.

8. Delete unwanted apps from system/app.

Explanation: It will make your device faster / lighter as u have deleted most of the apps that runs automatically when your device turns on.

9. Install Greenify and hibernet all apps leaving the apps related to message and calls.

Explanation: This will freeup most of the ram consumed by unnecessary apps. Make a shortcut on your home page to hibernet all apps in a single click.

10. Install setCPU app and configure it as shown in the video.

Explanation: This will underclock your device and consume minimum ram while your device screen is off.

11. Install Autorun manager Pro and disable auto running of apps during boot time

Explanation: Some of you may ask this feature is present in MIUI then why to use this app?
This app has a feature which prevent apps which starts automatically. But u will get this feature only in Pro version.

The above 4 steps will give you good RAM and less heat. But still if u want can go further.

12. If u really hate heating issue and RAM issue for that u have to either wait for future MIUI updates or have to leave MIUI and install CM 11 rom (Recommended) or Mokee ROM.

Explanation: MIUI till date not able to solve the heating issue and RAM issue. Hope they will solve it soon in the next version updates.
Till then you can enjoy CM11 in your device. CM 11 is based on kitkat so it has better management schemes. The only bug I can see in CM 11 is that low sound. Other features works fine.
Just wipe data,cache,dalvik, system. Then flash CM 11 zip file.

Enjoy !!! Hail Redmi 1s!!!
