Game lagging/slow internet

Hi everyone.
These days mostly every C.ROM has game lagging issues.
Whether it's AEX or Tesla.
(I mentioned the name of these two ROMs 'cause these ROMs used to be my favourite ones).
Every ROM lags, some lags high some lags low.
Not only lagging, also there's an internet slow issue.
Which makes it very irritating for a gamer.
(Games such as Clash of Clans, or 8 Ball Pool).
The ROM works fine in daily usage, but at gaming point almost every ROM has issues.
What is causing device to lag while playing games?
Also, why device's internet goes down when playing games or when device is hot?
MIUI ain't has such lagging or internet issues.
(I'm not saying MIUI is best, it's bad at many points such as Memory Management, Notification Management, Heavy UI, Android Updates, Bloated.. But after having so much bad in it, It has stability for no lagging, or internet)
I just wanna ask devs/users, why is it so?
I know, MIUI is stable because of it's kernel, and Xiaomi doesn't release kernel sources.
But when there is no lagging issues in day to day usage, then why is there so much lagging in Games?

Try Mokee 7, no lag in games, i.e. Clash Royale.

Thanks for this post dude...

using aosp caf arm64, had similar issues before using this rom.
now no heating or Internet problem while gaming.

What rom did you use?

Every time after downloading and flashing a custom ROM... After a week of use... Revert back to miui due to camera and audio output better in miui... No lags in normal gaming... No internet speed issues...Miui Most Stable.?

I'm using custom ROMs because of the double tap to wake. Is it possible in MIUI?

I'm currently on Miui KitKat Global official (rooted and custom recovery) works like charm.
I tried to use 2 operating system in my phone.
Miui in internal and AOSP Caf 64bit in sd card.
But managing 2 Roms in once is a waste of time.
Deleted sd card and reverted back to normal.

I did it today, flashed Jerrica Kernel for MiUi by Premaca (this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-2/development/kernel-jerrica-v1-1-t3395691). The ROM I've used is: "Version: V8.5.2.0.LHJMIED (MIUI8) - Stable" from official site http://en.miui.com/download-261.html (the developer one takes me to bootlop :/)

Yup bootloop issues have been faced by too many users,
That kernel work's only for older Miui 8 version, miui 8.5etc won't work.

if you're facing lags try one of my favourite trick
Just delete thermal management algorithm that exist on nougat based ROMS, its located at system/etc/thermal-engine.conf. so you will gain no lags when the phone's getting hot. At the cost of more battery drainage but for me that's worth it. Also if you're facing WiFi disconnecting problem try port wifi configuration from MIUI ROM in, system/etc/wifi copy all itu system, and set permission to rw-r-r, make sure you backup the orig file in case you need it. I always that when using nougat based ROM. Now switched to MIUI due to stability. I currently using octopus kernel and double tap 2 wake works like charm on MIUI 8.5.2.0

fps lag

I'm experiencing famerate lag. Changing orientation, opening apps and transitions through the ui.
Anyone else is experiencing this? And if so you know what's causing it?

Yep, its a serious problem with the OnePlus 5.
Animations, scrolling, everything is a mess on Oxygen OS, to the point where I have unlocked my bootloader to try non-OOS based ROMs.
This thing stutters more than my old S7 Edge, and the Note 8 is significantly smoother than this.
Awesome example of how poor OOS is currently:
Go into Pocket Casts, subscribe to a podcast, open your subscriptions, tap on a tile. The simple animation will stutter like crazy as it opens. Same with play store.
Scrolling is atrocious for such a high specced device. 8GB/SD835 means nothing if smoothness is the worst by far out of any android flagship.
I couldn't even get an answer out of OnePlus support if Oreo would fix things.

Yup, the overall is experience is kinda jittery and laggy, my iPhone 6 and even my Nexus 5 are way smoother.

I've found OOS to be a lot smoother with Blu Spark kernel but even then OOS is so unstable that several times out of nowhere some system wake lock would suddenly go wiggy and prevent the phone from going into Doze. It's happened on three different builds of OOS and it was a different wake lock each time and caused massive idle battery drain. I haven't found any way to fix it other than doing a clean flash of OOS and fresh install of my apps. OOS isn't stable enough to be the stock operating system on any Android phone, let alone a $600 one that advertises itself as a flagship killer.

Don't know what you talking about, I never see a single lag/stutter in my OP5 and actually like OOS even coming from Stock Android (Nexus 6P)

Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with this phone. I also flashed to LineageOS to see how it would perform compared to OxygenOS, but have you noticed what I noticed? It's still Jitters bits. I have eventually got it smooth with tweaking the kernel settings around until it would scroll smooth. What has me confused is that it happened when I switched rom still, and even after trying a different kernel it still would stutters while scrolling.. so it has me really confused as to what the problem is.
My kernel setup is butter smooth in LineageOS, but only help OxygenOS a bit as it still slightly stutters. It's smooth in chrome, but certain apps like Instagram still stutters on OOS

yeah noticed this also on stock OOS. IDK whether this is just placeboo effect or not, but it feels much smoother now on my current set-up (xXx ROM + ElementalX Kernel)

Running stock oos with simple gx wouldn't be happier I actually came back from the non oos roms because I missed the smoothness and app opening animations from stock oos .... could you give me an example of UI jitters or where it occurs because I haven't run into any problems . Speaking of chrome smoothness scrolling could be better but I am fine in instagram Reddit (boost app) and wouldn't complain as per opening of play store is also smooth with opener game of apps from play store is fine as well .

Ok so I uninstalled some apps and it's smooth more ?
This is lame because I installed a "million" apps on my 3t and this NEVER happened. But anyway
Do you have the elementalX app installed or did you just flash it?

Did a speed test after getting rid of some stuff and my OP5 running xXx Rom is faster than my bro 0P5 running stock.

I installed the app but just for display color tweaking. I leave the rest untouched. This is the smoothest kernel so far at least to me, our experience may differ tho.

Stock Vs Custom Rom

I used the stock rom for my device and decided to try some custom rom for a Le 2, it really does an incredible job for the developers but we are full of different versions and all with the same Bugs, especially the camera never works well. Hopefully you could focus the work on one and get a good rom and not new projects every day that are generally good but have errors that in some moments of daily use make us want to return to something stable and work perfectly.
It is not for less to value the work, it is only a point of view.
I personally consider that the best work is on the side of Pixel Xperience but it is only my personal opinion, even though the camera does not work very well, the fingerprint reader usually fails in some apps among other things.

I use the Droid on Time Rom version 2.5 on my LeEco Le 2. I have no problem with the camera. The day time pictures are okay but nigh time is sh...

The latest release of PixelExperience fixes a lot of the issues it had, give it another shot, you'll love it.

Is the best custom rom. Just doing a good management of applications in the background can give you 5 to 6 hours of screen on each load. before I only had 3h. the night mode crash for moments but work fine

Camera is the deal-breaker
I have tried custom ROMS including codeworkx' lineage 14, lineage 15.1 by rk85, and pixel experience pie but in every single one the camera is damn near unusable. There are many gcam ports that sometimes work but with major issues particularly lags, crashes, inability to record video, and just frequent lack of reliability. Apps like camera fv-5, footej, and open camera are also quite bad even though they are the recommended ones because stock cameras just don't work. Performance is also not good and instability creeps in quickly when you push the phone like by playing games or benchmarking.
The only custom ROMS I can commend are miui and EUI-based ones which are all Marshmallow. Miui heating and battery drain is a serious issue and slim eui has unfixable play store issues. The only custom ROM I can recommend as a daily driver is SmallEUI v3. I hear mokee is also good but doesn't have as good battery life as SmallEUI. Custom ROMS are fine for experiencing new Android version features but I don't see any of them becoming daily driver material.

My 526 has been on MIUI pro 8.9.20 for weeks - longest staying on any rom so far. No problem with overheating or battery drain at all, have not used camera much though.

For the few times you've used the camera, how does it compare with stock camera? Does it record 4K? Slow-mo? Image sharpness and detail? Your average SOT?

Sorry, I don't use this function long enough to compare.

Small lag after MIUI 11 update

I had my phone since last Sunday, it came with MIUI 10.3.12 and it was super snappy, after the update it still feels snappy, but the fingerprint unlock animation tends to lag and multitasking animation from home screen lags as well, everywhere else feels snappy like always, just those 2 things that really annoys me.
I experimented with reinstalling the MIUI 11 update "Download lastest package" but it made the matter worse. I have the Mi 9T and it currently have Miui 11.0.3.0 Stable Global.

This lags are like the battery drain. Some people suffer others don't. But I'm having those lags in many apps. Uninstall certain apps and see no more lags. Will see.

Like what apps? I tried a factory reset but nothing, it did went back when I updated it but still lag... I feel like unlocking the bootloader, downgrade to Miui 10, relock it and wait if Android 10 improves something.

Just an app that was supposed to improve the overall phone. Used to work in after stable releases.

i don´t think that the case since i had the same apps i used on miui 10. and it was working fine. torrent, blockada,adaway, whatsapp+, gbinstagram. magisk

In my case, I'm just going to wait 1 week for unlocking the bootloader and roll back to Miui 10 or maybe try a custom rom... Unless the Android 10 comes by (For now, it's only available in China).

Smoothest ROM? (Redmi Note 7)

the official MIUI 11 I'm using now, and too many trash system apps running in background makes the game I'm playing keep choppy and frozen (or lag?).
the main purpose of this phone for me is playing multiplayer games, so compared to functionally powerful, Light and Smooth is more what I care.
which ROM (and version) is most suitable for this usage? Thanks.

thanks for your kind advice, but seems miui eu is based on china official builds? and miui official build 11.0.1 Android 10 is already withdrawed by official because of too many bugs (source: read on china xiaomi forum). also those negative feedbacks about 11.0.1 Android 10 on miui eu forum...still thanks.

Tested a ton of ROMs (mostly from xiaomi.eu) and I keep going back to MIUI 11.2, version 20.1.21 BETA. Works way better than the "stable" ones, is smooth as fk, crisp menus no lag etc.

I went from xiaomi.eu (a10/miui12) to "pixel plus ui" rom and I don't regret it. I've got more storage available, way better battery backup without the stupid miui battery manager which limits apps by default (10h SoT and 2 days without charge), UI is smooth and so far I haven't found any bugs.
Normally, I don't like to flash custom roms because in time i've learned that they all have their flaws. But coming from an androidOne phone, I just can't stand MIUI anymore. It got HUGE with tons of customizations/features I don't need nor want. Flashing a custom rom got me an extra 10gb+! of free storage. That's why I tested a couple of roms and I'm sticking with "pixel plus ui".
