Marshmallow update degrades gaming performance?

After a few weeks of running the official Marshmallow update on my T700 I can state for certain that there is an observable drop in framerate for my games. I primarily use the tablet to play games and this is a deal breaker for me, thus a solution must be found. There is currently no custom kernel compatible with the stock MM TouchWiz, nor there seem to be any root app to OC the GPU and tone down thermal throttling (assuming this is tuned up in MM as my tablet used to run hotter in Lollipop and with higher framerate).
So the question to all is: is your Tab S running games worse after the MM update than before?

Have you tried the ASOP Vanilla version of MM, I was running this before the official touchwiz MM was released, I am not a gamer but people say it runs faster.

What I did was to get the stock Rom posted by Ashyx, unzip it and do some debloating, then re-zip and install it.
It runs way too hot and slow with the complete Rom.

well i run the ressurection rom on my tab S 10.5 but to honest the performance of the tab S is so weak since lollipop, all the app such as dead trigger 2 , asphalt nitro , modern combat 5 and more run so badly and those are ugly on tab S due to his resolution of 2560x1600 which is completely gimp the tab and drain the batterie so fast. I don't understand back when the TAB S was release in 2014 this tablet was a gaming machine now its a lagg machine. The only way we could get better performance is to wait for a kernel such as ironkernel or phoenix kernel or even skyhigh kernel to be release on a rom then dl it oc the cpu and gpu and then go playing or download android lollipop and take either ironrom or phoenix rom but even tho the games look terrible on lollipop even worst than on kitkat so yeah we're screwed thanks samsung.

I agreed that for playing games, choosing this tablet over nvidia shield definitely feels like a mistake now. But upgrading to MM should have improved the situation, not worsen it... Game Tuner app that drops down resolution in gaming apps supposedly helps with performance, but it doesn't really. I think the answer to my problem should really be a new tablet that has a hardware spec friendly to gaming, but I can't find one with size similar to the Tab S that isn't EoL (like the Shield Tablet).

there is huawei mediapad M3 8.4

Thanks. I'm running this ROM now. Battery is hotter and it drains faster... but my games have normal framerate now like it was on lollipop. Samsung definitely did something sinister with thermal throttling in the MM build.

Looking into that now... the specs are otherwise good except the chipset being kirin... not sure how much dev support the device is going to get >.<

Zuk Z2 Custom ROM for 3D gamers

I play 3d games with my z2 (mortal Kombat x and Injustice 2 in particular). I'm not really familiar with kernel tweaking and overclocking and I actually don't want to be.
I'm out on a search for a custom ROM for this device that has the smoothest performance for 3d gaming with the highest battery efficiency. The best ROM in those terms i have tried, was cosmicOS 7.1.1 on which i had 6h SOT with 2h of high smoothness 3d gaming (when it went 7.1.2 those perks were lost though).
I have tried almost every ROM out there and i didn't find something to amaze me (but of course many of them were tried on previous builds and i can't switch ROMs every time one of them gets updated)
I'm currently on ViperOS which satisfied me in terms of customzation and performance but not that much for its battery life and maintenance has also stopped.
So.. any 3d gamers out there have any suggestions?

Update: After flashing AEX 4.4 i can say all my needs are covered. The versions before had a heating issue, some battery drain and some lagging on 3d games. These aren't there any more.
It's now the most satisfying ROM out there and on a high speed race towards perfection since everything else is smooth like butter too.
I got 5h sot with 1:30h of 3d gaming.
If anyone's having the same expectations don't hesitate for a second, go ahead for AEX

Ok thanks

I am on latest ZUI(haven't unlocked yet) and play Marvel future fight a LOT...3-4 hours minimum and have to recharge the phone twice in 24 hours. Performance is so-so, sometimes would lag but rectify itself after game restart. Heats a lot. I tried the overclock feature in ZUI which increases heat beyond comfort but doesn't add anything to performance.

why dont you try to use AKT profiles? You can find a reasonable performance profile when play games, then set it to powersaving when not playing

I'm not really fond of tweaking. I believe they cause higher drain than they should when on performance and higher laggyness than they should when on powersave.
Besides, i don't find it handy to change AKT all the time, i'll most of the time forget about it
Thank you though!

Any update? I finally sold my LG G5 and decided to unlock ZUK 2's bootloader. My requirements are same as OP except I want best of audio quality too. So AEX is the ROM to go for and install ARISE?

AEX 4.5 is dope. There has to be something major for it to lose first place among the others

Ok, i have to update this.
ViperOS 3.0 came out and it's 3d gaming performance is astonishing. Its battery consumption while using is great too. This build doesn't go into deep sleep but, if it's fixed with an update, it will become exactly the ROM for 3d gamers.
AEX EAS unofficial is also Released (which i'm using currently and not changing easily) and it's, for me, perfect. Great battery, amazing smoothness and response, bugless and with much higher performance on 3d gaming than official AEX.
My opinion on 3d gaming is based upon performance on Mortal Kombat X and Injustice 2. Injustice 2 is exactly on the verge when I switch ROMs. Some let it run smoothly and some make it cut frames. Those two let the phone run it really smoothly (with ViperOS being just a shred better)

i faced lags in 8 ball pool with viper 3 aex 4.5 and some other roms out there ...atomic os was the best for me in terms of gaming and battery life but didn't have the camera updated so now back to official stock zui.

I installed AEX, it's much smoother than stock but ANTUTU score is lower than stock. Backup is not as good as stock either. Marvel future fight even at lowest settings cut frames.

I installed 3.5 citrus from miju12 and never actually left it. The 3d gaming performance combined with no heat and good battery is incomparable.
I've tried RR, jaguar, aex and pixel experience from oreo but nothing satisfied me.
Can anyone share an Oreo ROM to play some games?

in gaming performance most oreo roms do the job fine

fast and stable rom

hi
im on nexus 5x android 8.0 stock
and when i playing games like CSR Racing 2 after 5 - 10 min playing
i can see a lot of lags so today i change the kernel to shadow kernel ( i try franco and ElementalX )
shadow kernel is the best for android 8 stock
and i dont see any lag in CSR racing 2 but the game crash sometimes
so i want to know what rom and kernel is the best for performance and gaming and for battery life
( when i dont play games i need battery life to be good )

I'm using this setup:
Stock oreo + elementalx kernel + Hawktail 1.2 governor
I'm pretty impressed with the results. I've got like 4+ hours of SOT with heavy usage

Best rom for PUBG

Which rom is best for PUBG or other high end games?
What about 9.0 roms for gaming ?

A ROM wouldn't magically upgrade your hardware. it will stay the same S820/821. PubG is a high-end modern game not particularly optimized for our device and is primarily meant for latest phones. You can make it run lag free using pubg gfx tools and lowering resolution of game to 720p or HD+.

Skydragon ROM or latest 5.0.7 oxygen

msm extended

Oos 4.5.1 yes it's nougat but I clan play on highest possible settings with pubgfx app + I played one game and phone was hot though

I used to have constant overheating and frequent frame drops with the older versions of the game a few months back.
But after the 0.9 update, the game runs quite smooth on the quick performance mode on LOS 15.1 on my OP3
I play on low graphics and high frame rate settings btw.

i am on stock. but i want to know any custom rom is better then stock? in terms of performance and graphics.

Skydragon os... Try it

For me, stock OOS has been most stable and performance friendly for PubG. Also, the device doesn't heat that much as compared to custom Pie roms.
Also, something that many people ignore here are GPU drivers. Pie custom ROMs ship with v330 of adreno drivers whereas OOS ships with V281 i guess, It's much more stable and provides steady fps.
I would suggest to use Gfx Tool from play store, lower resolution to HD, 40fps, shadows on, 2x anti aliasing, colorful, balanced graphics. I can play pubg at 40-45 fps for 1-2 hours even while charging.

You can also use the ' Xbooster *root* ' apk to boost up your phone for a smoother gameplay
You can download it from here?

Use mcd kernel with skydragon pie rom... The gameplay is smooth without any fps drop
And no throttling at all

Best kernel for note 5

what is the best kernel for note 5 aosp roms and what is differnce between them ?

try No-Name kernel. (overclocked upto 2.2 ghz)
I used it with
1) MIUI Dev rom (Medium settings in pubg)
2) Pixel Exp ! (smooth exp , good battery life :good
slightly better performance than stock kernel

there is no such thing as best .everyone has their own preferences
if you are a gamer try noname kernel v2.3. its overclocked so good for games.
if you dont game and just want to watch videos browse web etc then insigniux and derp is the best choice.

gpu on our device vant be overclocked for some reason. so only cpu overclock. the latest noname r2.4 is underclocked as the dev said he didnt noticed any dofference when cpu was overclocked so try 2.3 version of noname kernel if you want overclocked cpu
