I'm not really looking for anything in particular, I just like modding and improving my Nexus 7. Are there any true advantages to a custom kernel that will increase performance and productivity? I know there's kernels which allow overclocking, I'm not sure if it's worth it when in comparison with battery life. The Nexus 7 is already speedy enough, but is there a benefit to overclocking to maybe 1.7GHz or 1.8GHz CPU?

if you're on 4.3, I can highly recommend franco.kernel. Great battery life, and allows overclocking.
Benefits are overclocking aren't really that great, especially if you can run everything fine. However, it does come in handy if you're playing graphics-intensive games and there is a bit of stutter.

ElementalX, Glitch, Bulletproof (ElementalX-based), to name a few. Running ElementalX 2.3 myself, and it's rather great :good:
Saw something about this, thought it was kind of cool.
I'm currently running 4.4.2, came across Gangstar Vegas, and it's an amazing game, it just stutters a bit. What would be a good kernel, and clock speed for running the game more smoothly? I don't care about battery life much because I'll just change the clock speed when I'm dome playing.
I'd clock it to 2.0GHz, but I don't want yo overheat the device. Suggestions?

Custom kernel could have e.g. CIFS and/or EncFS kernel module support.

Just installed it and it's awesome!
Is there any way to have this double tap to wake feature without flashing a custom kernel? Maybe there's a .zip file that can be flashed to have this feature alone without being part of a kernel?

There's also an app in the Store which does the same thing but a) forgot the name (if I remember I will update this post) and b) it's not as low-level as this kernel and so I would assume it will use the battery even more than this. This ain't "free" as well, for the record
I think enabling volume button wake is also useful, as the volume rocker is much easier to find than the smaller power button. Not sure which kernel does that though.

Hello, which rom and kernel are recommendable for that time ? I want battery friendly and don't overheating so much.
Thanks,

Latest aosip rom with nebula v10 is the best I can do when it comes to battery and performance, you'll need kernel auditor or ex kernel manager to get 100% the best battery possible my friend.

@Dlind could you help with the setup that you've found working the best? So you are running latest AOSiP ROM and Nebula EAS kernel, so how's Nebula compared to the one which is included with the ROM? What kind of tweaks you've applied with kernel configuration apps? Anything else?

I like the kernel in the regular aosip. But what nebula has over the aosip regular kernel is, the cpu governors. I've ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS! had issues with sched/schedutil. They lag with youtube. And are biased toward power to much for my liking, but if you don't watch youtube much that's ok. But sched/schedutil also has given me the best results when multi tasking. I personally love cultivation. Its a smarter version of good old interactive. There's also options for using a slight over clock to cpu and gpu. Also with this kernel there is an adjustable throttle for when the cpu overheats it in Celsius btw. All these settings are in ex kernel manager and in kernel auditor, they both are great apps. Under cpu mic spot in the bottom turn off perfd and leave wq_power_saving on.

There are some advantages leaving perfd on. Search it on google..
I've a OnePlus 3 Device.. When I Play Pubg in Med Settings.. it Lags like hell and i turned to Low Preset Still The same any solutions???
There was same problem with me too...
1. Make sure upgrade to v0.4.0.
2. If problem still continues use Elementalx kernel and overclock cpus and also turn on GPU boost to high.
Though regardless to say play on Europe server?
I play with framerate set to HIGH and BALANCED and it runs smooth most of the time.....

i'm on latest OOS beta with Derp kernel, no lag what so ever on PUBG , just played it for the 1st time last night, on HD and medium fps (and one mission on high), no lags what so evert, but here's heating normal and expected with this type of games, but didn't effect the game play.
it'll hit the battery though , i went from 92% to 20% in 70 mins of continues playing on high settings. also make sure if you're on OOS to add it to game do not disturb mode, it helps.
i do have same problem on open beta, ill try to flash costum kernel...hope they fix this on next update...

Sorry to say but it will lag in anyway
Coz it is powered by Snapdragon 820 which just sucks in gaming , not becoz of GPU (Andreno 530 is good enough) but becoz of low cores count and thermel throttle ?
And PUBG mostly depends on multicore performance of the processor, in which sd820 littrely sucks (820=450 in multicore performance)
Snapdragon 660 is much better choice for gaming it's much stable than 820/821
Someone said to me to use GFX Tool on play store and enable the vulkan and see the changes. He said it was lagging but after enable the vulkan it turns out pretty smooth after but pretty much drains the battery.

I second this, used GFX Tool with the following parameters:
PUBG M Version 0.6
Resolution: 1280x720
Style: Classic
Graphics : Balanced
FPS: 60fps
Vulkan : Enabled
Anti-Aliasing: Disabled
Running On DU v12.3
Kernel DU stock
Active battery drain after 33mins of use 9% and lags at all.

I dont know, it was smooth here currently on Nougat Zenity RR. But I do also face the lag when I'm using Unofficial RR Luis and I even overclocked the cpu, but it was smooth on OOS with stock kernel and MSM Xtended so far before. That recommendation to enable vulkan was from someone I haven't test it yet since I dont face the lag right now. Sorry can't help much, I also did not understand much why.

Not true , as mentioned on another post above, I also use the latest oos beta ROM, with derp kernel 4.4 , nonlags what so ever , not even a little ...
I've been playing pubg for a month now , and with the above setup I had no lags... I even use maple I/O sched , which by nature may cause some lag and despite that it doesn't.
onePlus stock kernel specially on beta may have issues from time to time, and a lot of cutom kernels for cutom ROMs are configured more toward battery life...
For stock rom use either derp or blu_spark, they will work out of the box without issues, Blu have more heating though on my experience.
For custom ROMs you'll need to ask the kernel dev what settings anss scheds to use ...I'd imagine flash kernel will be ok right out of the box but will not be as battery friendly as the others .
No
Well if you are happy with 20-35fps performance, than trust me you don't really need a flagship, you will be satisfied even with Snapdragon 450 which can give similar performance to sd820 in PUBG lol [QUOTEuke7;76899133]Not true , as mentioned on another post above, I also use the latest oos beta ROM, with derp kernel 4.4 , nonlags what so ever , not even a little ...

Guys if you want to game dont do it on a mobile device. Let alone a cheap China device with high failure rates on hardware.
Could anyone suggest a ROM / Kernel that is tried and tested to not lag on OnePlus 3T? I am currently using a different phone just to play the game and I really wish to move back to my phone ... Any method that is tried and tested to function properly with no lags on the current PubG update would be really appreciated

You will be hard pressed to find a combo that works. You will most likely need to build a rom made for it as most roms are not made for gaming which to be honest is a sad state on mobile device.

Try msm extended pie and aosp extended pie both with stock kernel runs pubg smooth with hd - high fps
Well i'm baffled with you guys, i ran it just fine, i even downclocked it to 1 & 1,5 Ghz (lil&big). My configs: Omnirom and the included kernel (holydragon) downclocked, display driver updated to V313 (look for adreno driver in mi mix forum) use rev15 as it is less glitchy and even has tangible score boost almost 6000 gain in antutu GPU section. And that's it, HD and High setting acquired, i even get extreme setting when i first install the driver, but somehow it disappears lol. If you want to run it even better, use old gfxtool to old pubg apk, run and then update the pubg, immediately uninstall the gfxtool to avoid ban by the new pubg detection for gfxtool. Sorry too long.

Hi everyone you must have seen this post and I just want to know that out of these mentioned ROMs below, please tell me the bestest ROM for PUBG and overall performance or which kernel + ROM should I install for better performance
As I'm a heavy user and games a lot with using many apps daily so can't test on my own and also I'm a student don't have time to test
ROMs:
1. Bootleggers
2. AEX
3. DotOS
4. Havoc OS
5. MIUI 10
6. PixelExperienceRom
7. RR Rom
8. Jaguar Rom
9. Liquid Remix
Running AiCP 13.1 Latest weekly along with Nameless R17.
Satisfactory performance for me with PubG !!
May not be the fastest there, but coolest (heat management) for sure.
Around 25-30% battery usage per hour.
Running under medium settings as detected and set by the game at first launch !!
Use aosip with stock kernel

I've got to say over the weekend I've tested all the major roms and AEX causes least of the problems
Jaguar - horrible overheating, rom is by far the fastest for gaming
It properly uses fast charge but it's overheating so much it's scary, also substratum doesn't work
AICP - The coolest one(in terms of temps) but is just too slow for games
AOSiP -it's weird it's like improved AICP but I have random problems with my network(I live in Poland and Zuk Z2 doesn't support for B20 so it doesn't have amazing reception)
Bootlegers - has some problems with my apps and just convoluted settings
AEX - steady performance, horrible ram management, after I left phone to charge overnight I guess it stopped charging after 100% because I had 88% in the morning after 7 hours of charging but the games run pretty smoothly, substratum is fully supported, all apps work fine, no cellural problems, but I once phone rebooted so I'm kinda worried
Overall I didn't find one rom without any problems and on all treble roms I have problem that it doesn't charge at full charger possibility :/
If anyone have different good rom please share, I also tested nitrogenos but it was a mess for me so I don't know what else to try which is optimized for Zuk Z2

Did you try changing clock values on jaguar? As it's over clocked by default.
I don't face any over heating on jaguar.. I have been trying roms too and i get back to jaguar everytime. I tried implementing jaguar interactive governor values in other roms but others were not so fluid.
I use default clock values of zuk i.e 2.1 +1.5 ( 1.8+1.2 also work good without stutters) with hotplugging active and i generally play Pubg on ghostpepper / fusion balanced. No over heating faced here

Ex kernel manager. There is a way you can change clock speeds using terminal also. Not sure of that method though.

Hey, thanks for taking out time to try most roms and sharing back. Did you try DotOS ?
AiCP + nameless R17 user here. PubG runs really cool and lag free with medium settings but it's a battery hogger for sure. No OC, all default, no root or any mods.
40%+ per hour while using Mobile Data (AirTel 4G or Jio 4G).
35%+ per hour while 2.4GHz WiFi.
Need to charge often if playing more than couple of games back to back.
Good thing though, 20-80% charge range is done really quickly if using any high AMP (2 or 2.4AMPs) charger !!
I am currently in MIUI 10, but i experience frame drops even in low settings.
I want to know which rom and kernel are best for gaming.
With fastcharge enabled.
Thanks in advance ,Really confused!
go for No-Name kernel
(overclocked up to 2.2 ghz)
u can play pubg in Medium settings
I used MIUI Dev rom + NO Name kernel for 3 days (smooth performance + good battery life)

Overclocking will drain your battery fast so be careful.
