A12 ROMS. - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Ok, there's a lot of different a12 roms for the 8 pro now. But I can't find any which has the option to lower refresh rate. Can I lower refresh rate using ADB command aur other ROMs which has the ability to lower refresh rate. thank you .please link.

I'm just curious why you would want to do this? The 120hz is one of the best things about the phone.

Sluggish performance on GPU intensive games?

Just wondering if this is common or not, mainly PUBG runs sluggish even on the lowest graphics setting.

maybe because of the 2k?
I also tried pubg and yes, it's too damn laggy. lowering the resolution to 720p didn't help much. i guess i have to see how it runs on another device to be sure it's not a crappy app (Even though it looks like it)
I though the same thing, wish there was a easy way of lowering like on Samsung roms.

if you're willing to use the navbar (or mipop if you're on stock), it's as simple as making a couple of shell scripts that change density and resolution, then adding widgets for them. Since probably nobody is looking at the capacitive buttons bug this will probably be the only way to do it
The main problem for gpu intensive games is that they start to lag more the longer u play. Its because (at least on stock roms) the kernel throttles the cpu and gpu way too aggressively at a certain temperature. Same happens to hearthstone.
At beginning i can play a few rounds with 40-60fps, but after some time the kernel throttles the cpu and gpu down by alot even though the device itself only just got a bit warm. Main issue is throttling happens way too soon by way too much. And well some games are not well optimized and dont clear graphic cache often enough. Hearthstone for example has this issue, even if device is cooled, the game drops fps (not as much as with throttling tho) if too many graphical stuff loaded into the graphical ram over time (at least thats how i think it is)

I play PUBG on stock ROM after basically disabling CPU GPU thermal throttling and adjusting the governors to use the full frequency range accordingly. Having a fan of any sort, even a small usb powered one blowing air on the back up to a meter will keep the battery under around 50degC. The aluminum unibody cools effectively and efficiently with the help of a fan. I use a Tasker task to change the CPU limits and other optimizations before playing.
After eliminating the processor bottleneck the game can run on high settings smoothly. However the game uses 1GB of RAM on high settings that I've tested and the device lags under around 500Mb of free RAM on stock's OOM configuration. So free RAM needs to be able to reach at least 1.5Gb to not cause slow downs. Having already debloated and using greenify with and root commands to disable background user processes, I can play without RAM being an issue. I monitor free RAM and other hardware in real time to check these function without issue.
Having now removed both those bottlenecks I found there's still some lag that can develop after the phone has been playing for a few games or after standby overnight uptime. I've only just started testing changes to Virtual Memory thinking it might be a delay caused there. But the post quote above gave me the thought it could be GPU video memory related. Anyone know where to check in the kernel for how much RAM is reserved for GPU on the Axon 7?
I also gave the resolution lowering trick a little try and that didn't seem to improve performance at all. I'm still on B32.

Mind explaining how to get rid of the CPU/GPU throttle? I just haven't bothered with those kind of things since my Galaxy Nexus days ;_;

The background I posted ages ago is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/stock-cpu-gpu-throttling-performance-t3716060
That way doesn't fully disable throttling and just enables a different higher one. I could update the thread if people are interested

Tbh thats quite an interesting thread for ppl that have either heating issues and want to lower voltages and edit throttling levels or for ppl that would like to have a more consistent performance when gaming. As you mentioned in that thread, i too renamed the 2 thermal config files with .bak at the end. Will test later to see the results.
But i think you could maybe update the thread with a guide for like:
-ppl that want to preserve battery life
-ppl that want to get more consistent performance
-and ppl that want to have a good mix between performance and battery life.
Also in that thread you mentioned disabling vdd restriction (like through kernel adiutor i guess). Is this necessary to really see the full effect of renaming the thermal engine files to .bak? I ask because i saw that inside the thermal engine files, there are also entries for vdd monitoring. So in the end would disabling vdd restriction actually do something? (Since the values from thermal engine files won't be applied at boot anymore after renaming them)

I get some lag even in Angry Birds 2, never had this on my Sony Xperia XZ Premium. The reason is due to throttling from over heating.
The phone does indeed get hot after some heavy gaming and this is when throttling starts and causing some lag.

That's some useful suggestions. For each point
- I've already shared that function. Just modify to a lower voltage you prefer. In terms of using it in combo with throttling disabled, that can be more advanced.
- Consistent like powerful? Need to tweak values in the file for full performance. Personally I've edited several profiles of various CPU GPU configs to range from light games to heavy executable from Tasker.
- Really a matter of preference. There isn't really a perfect middle ground. That's why vendors are offering power mode switches for normal use and gaming. Problem there is ZTE's is shipped broken and others still have decided limits. Which as my previous point, I use a basic profile for normal use and switch to suit based on the gaming demand. The method in that thread alone is inefficient as it's moderately powerful but isn't power saving for example.
Yeah I meant in a kernel configuration app like Adiutor. It's rather confusing but IIRC switching on VDD is it's own set of restriction different than unmodified. Removing the files by renaming .bak falls back to some hidden profile as described in that thread. Now I just edit the file for no limits instead and use Tasker to change parameters when needed.
I may post a guide. But I'm not sure how much interest or benefit there is. Hardcore tweakers aren't on stock, it's probably only a small group that prefer stock for particular reasons and are still advanced tweakers. One factor against AOSP though is I've heard repeatedly in the past the GPU driver gaming performance is lacking, don't know if that has changed. I'm all for helping out though, just unsure about useless effort. I welcome questions to get anything working and it's more direct than writing up a whole guide.

Well a guide might be useful for many users. Maybe also what your setup in tasker is.
Personally im usually not that into graphic intensive mobile games (except for like shadowgun legends, cool game imo).
I mean i play games while watching youtube or any series sometimes. But its still annoying when games start to lag after like 10 minutes already.
I also play hearthstone alot on my axon 7 since i used to play it alot on my laptop (sadly the game lags way too much now on my laptop due to weak hardware, hence why i play it on mobile now).
About the consistent performance i mentioned earlier, yes i meant as in powerful which keeps the performance without dropping down.
Sadly the performance governor isnt a big help since the aggressive throttling is still active, which makes the governor quite useless if it cant keep up the cpu clock at max.
Anyway, from what i noticed after renaming the 2 thermal files, shadowgun legends for example runs better for a longer period of time than before (it takes longer before the game starts to drop frames significantly)

With most GPU intensive apps and games like PUBG and Daydream View, I have to disable the Night Light. It provides a noticeable difference in performance.
@ Isopropil,
Hi,
Would you like to post your screenshot here? I experience the same problem and we probably help each other. My phone is A2017U, what about yours?
Thanks in advanceļ¼

Pubg mobile

Hello guys
I play Pubg mobile on s7 edge and I noticed something wrong, When I play it on HD graphics with high fps, every thing is clear, also on smooth graphics with high fps it's clear but when I use gfx tools I put smooth graphics with extreme fps on 720p resolution it's so smooth but if there is someone far it looks unclear
I noticed that if I put balanced or HD graphics with extreme fps, everything is clear but it lags a bit
Is there any solution to play it smooth with extreme fps while everything is clear?

Lower resolution make things blurry means not clear to see.
I'm using custom rom and playing 2k resolution gfxtool with hd setting and high shadow. Game run great. Doest stutter or anything. On stock rom high setting game would stutter.
So if you want smooth gameplay atleast use 1080 resolution with shadow off and just smooth option. Not very or extreme smooth in gfxtool.
A screenshot from the game in hd mode. But that time i did not use the tool.

The screenshot was taken in glamours9 rom v5.5.
But right now i am using blackpearl s9 v6.0 by killswitch bec it feels more stable.
Both rom has same smooth gameplay and just played pubg yesterday on blackpearls9 on hd setting, fps highest, with shadow on. It was very smooth.
I did not install any kernel but used the one which came with the rom.
Glamours9 used morokernel.
And blackpearls9 has its own kernel.
Also i did not tweak or change anything in kernel. If you want any changes then just change cpu governer to performance but i am not changing anything.
So just try both of these roms. Glamour have a cool look and seem faster try it first.
Also you might already know this but after installing rom. Restart your phone twice so all type of lags disappears.

Hey thanks man. I just checked blackpearl and it appears to have some bugs, Heart rate sensor and "direction lock" (is it auto rotate always?)is not working.
Currently on Superman rom and my phone is garbage, restarts 5 to 10 times daily.

Try glamour then.
Heart sensor works. O2 or so called oxygen saturation does not work. Its not that huge issue.
And direction lock is like pattern lock. I wonder if people use that feature. I never tried it and never going to use it as i use face unlock and finger print unlock. Never tried super or bat rom.
I first tripped knox and installed glamour rom. Glamour has nice look and heart sensor and o2 sensor works. I think direction lock works as well. It is also fast or little faster then black pearl.
So try it. But create back of your contacts and everything.
Btw phone never once restarted with black pearl. And used glamour for around 4 days. I think it also did not restart or crash.
Some screen shot playing pubg today.
And what do you mean auto rotate? It does not auto rotate for me. Unless i enable it in status bar.

Bro I use the stock rom and I want to change it .. what rom do you advise me to try? And I have a question about Pubg .. on stock rom when I open the parachute it lags and I can't see if anyone around me .. does that happen with you on the rom you use?

If your rom is not rooted and knox is 0x0 then i would say stay on stock.
I am using hd quality with shadow enable and when parachute open it does not hang or stutter. I can see everyone and i land smoothly.
I only tried 3 roms. Norma v2.1, blackpearl s9 v6, and glamours9 v5.5.
And i would like to recommend first black pearl s9 v5, if its not of your taste then 2nd glamour s9 v5.5.
So if your game stutter too much or is slow with smooth quality. Then try blackpearl.
Black pearl is very stable. No app crash or anything. Battery is good too.
When installing the rom follow the steps properly and always backup your data.
I tried 2k resolution with hdr and gpu optimization off in gfxtool Game was kinda slow. So i used 1080 resolution. And game was then smooth. Just finish playing with friends. Check left screen shot when i tried playing in 2k resolution and right with 1080 resolution.

the stock rom is ggod I think but I want to change it because of Pubg .. I use BAGT app and it's runnig so smooth on smooth graphics with extreme fps ... the thing taht I suffer from is that the game stutter when I look around me while the parachute is open .. I tried everything to fix that but I couldn't

that tool ban on of my id bro. be careful.
how about you clean install pubg or clear cache or data(it will delete map and settings and will be like fresh pubg installed)? you may have some old files. and modifying the game too much make it more of a mess. so run a clean game and use gfxtool with 1920x1080 resolution balance mode shadow off, gpu optimization on, fps 40 and check if it stutters.
i will make a video and will give you link. and will show you some tools. try them if it can help... if not then install the blackpearls9 v6(recommended) or other custome rom. as stock rom gives 2.3ghz cpu speed but on custom its 2.6ghz.

I thank you so much for help bro .. unfortunately I did what you say many times in the past but there is no good result.. and I have used gfx tool for 6 months and I noticed that the battery drains more that Bagt application does .. and on FHD resolution on gfx tool it gives more a smaller icons .. the HD is the only resolution which gives the right size of icons
For all those reasons I use Bagt instead of gfx
Tomorrow I will try BlackPearl rom and I hope everything is gonna be ok
One more time I really thank you for your help

In pubg v8 i had same issue as yours. Even on low quality the game was not smooth when moving camera around. When pubg v9 came i freshly installed and it was way better then before butt on hd it stutter.
By the way you get smaller icons on 1440 resolution.
Go to phone setting then display, set resolution to fhd 1080.
In GFXTOOL USE QUALITY SMOOTH, RESOLUTION 1920X1080. GPU OPTIMIZATION ON. SHADOW DISABLE.
YOUR ICON should be normal in this resolution.
But i think by now you have installed the rom.
So hoping it solves your problem bro.

you will lose samsung pay service and in some rom spo2 is not working in samsung health. battery seems little better or same(black pearl seem most optimize) . and yes performance is better in all three rom(norma, glamour s9, blackpearl s9). tried pubg in all these roms.
so with custom rom
you get
performance
face unlock
infinity wallpapers
dolby atmos sound
custom touchwiz(like modifying battery icon, network speed meter in status bar.
but just they are not 100% okay. you might find a bug or two like in samsung health SPO2.
blood pressure is working fine.
but your problem is with pubg. so you will get performance to play it better. i mostly play pubg when battery is full and is on charge(fast charging. it stays on 100%). its a habit of mine.
phone does not overheat at all.
i just remembered something. have you tried game tuner?(blue joystick icon app)
with it you can increase performance of a game. try it before flashing custom rom....

Haha i am glad that finally you can enjoy the game.
Weird when ever i used antialaising the grass and bushes would get buggy. Like they would turn into green papers.
No you dont need to use gfxtool if you are satisfied with bagt. Both work same. Every rom has its up and down. Hope you are satisfied with everything this rom has. Because we tripped the knox now lol. Not like it matters as warranty expired long time ago.
Btw this rom has Bixby stuff. If you are not using it then do not install it. As useless programs sometime run in background for no reason..

Hello i have a redmi note 7 3/32 model.When i play pubg even on low settings i.e smooth/high it lags very much.Phone heats very much.Tried disabling battery saver for pubg with no restriction but still lags very much.It had sd660 thats the reason bought it but it is really very disappointing.i had tried every combination of graphics settings but its the same.Phone heats after 15 min and then lag starts.
Should i install a custom rom? If yes then which rom will be best for pubg?
Or
Should i downgrade to miui 10 version ?
Please help..
Thanks in advance.
Do you have fps set to high? Change it to med or low.

But sd660 can handle high fps in pubg.I have seen other mobile ex.Asus max pro m2.which can handle pubg very smoothly.Cant find what the real issue is

Can handle high fps, yes.
Can still create much heat and use much battery, also yes. Thus lower fps to keep it less warm. Try it yourself and see the difference.
Add all unnecessary apps/games in memory exceptions within game booster app. Also disable ingame shortcut and enable bandwidth priority.
In pubg I have fps set to high and graphic to smooth.
I find these settings work the best on my phone for game performance and less heat too.

How to do this btw?
Inside game speed booster settings.
And of course you need to add pubg to this app too.
I set pubg to restrict battery in MIUI setting FYI. It has no effect on game play.

I had done everything but still it lags when played even on smooth and low/medium settings.
Try running a few benchmarks to see if everything is right, like Antutu, 3dmark etc and compare the scores to others RN7.
If not, try resetting your phone.
yeah mine too , i can play pubg on my mi max 3 with no laggs in the same setting but with this redmi note 7 will laggs from time to times , it supposed to be better than sd636 in my mi max 3.

All the benchmark scores seems to be normal.Will reset today hope will get better performance
Thanks for reply
I have try antutu benchmark and the result is very far from ranking redmi note 7 list at there. My device at 51. How to raise up the performance?

Reset will do almost nothing. It does only in short term. Longterm it will lags again. Just like you reboot ur phone and cleaning cache, etc...
The main cause is, miui thermal and stock kernel restirct cpu frequency too 'agressively'. When our device start to heat, thermal will restrict -half of- our cpu to only use max freq for bigcluster 1,7Ghz & littlecluster 1,4Ghz and downclock soo oftenly. So, lags will occurs.
Reason behind is good actually to "save" the phone and decrease heat. But, when it comes for gaming (my opinion) Its NO USE at all. It Just ruins the gameplay.
Sad thing..., xiaomi like do nothin :'( its been a couple stable update and they are doing nothing to provide best gaming experience at least.

Yes you are right after reset again it starts to lag.
Can't we do anything for this mini thermal throttle?
I mean can we root and go for a custom rom Or anything like that to improve performance? I don't want any battery saver stuff.. Just want lag free gaming

Root method? Of course yes.
Flash recovery Orangefox R10 > Flash Magisk Root > Flash Thermal-Config Mod (its a magisk module) > Flash Custom Kernel (if you want, i recommend genom or evira). Done.
Now you will get best perfomance of our device should have.
*thermal-engine mod will disable cpu restriction
**custom kernel will increase battery and perfomance
You can go to custom rom too, it'll give you more :v
Head over development rom thread..

What if we disable MIUI optimization? Will it remove the restriction? Or the only choices are thermal mod?

Disabling MIUI optimization will not remove kernel restrictions, you're better off flashing another kernel or using a thermal mod as recommended before.

Thankyou very much for the reply.I will definitely root my note 7 and install everything you said.Can you share the link of thermal-config mod? and evira kernal? please that would be very helpful .

Coudn't find the thermal-mod link, maybe it has to do with editing the kernel.

Anyway to get 60fps in pubg on redmi note 7s

Guys, did anyone know how to get 60 fps extreme in pubg mobile on redmi note 7s, don't need any GFX or gltools as pubg is banning people who are using them, so any kernel or anything??? Pls anyone know I I am new in this platform....
Flash corvus os rom. It's made for gaming purpose only. You get 60 fps and also fps meter. It shows that setting smooth and high in game....but runs 60 fps without any gfx tool.

Don't
Now it's a dead rom but the corvus 4.7 it's good for gaming
But it's now a dead rom bcz not have support for some devices

Can this apply on mi 11?

Not exactly.
This chart is for the sd865.
Mi11 has a sd888, so the voltage levels will be different.
The basic idea is the same. But it requires testing and proofing.
Do you have source of konabess app? If possibility, send me pls :3
Thanks really useful
Great guide, this post definitely deserves more views. Got one question: if my goal frequency is (let's say) 660MHz, isn't it better to set ddr7 and ddr8 max values to 11? Would it squeeze out more performance at max load, in your opinion?

Not really. The ddr timings are not really set for balanced performance.
Trottling happens alot, so finding a balance give overall better performance than burst performance thatxthen gives lower results due tocthe time to cool being longer than the time to heat up.
I was able to get a higher antutu score than stock at 670, with timings between 4-9
But its all based on user preference and work loads. These settings work excellently well for me.
The big difference though is the voltage table. Less electricity going in creates less heat.
The ram timings are just a minor tweak to add a bit more to the clock. Its the voltage that really changed big time for me. Lower volts, less heat, longer time at high clocks.

How can I edit Votages is volts table ?
Can l do this in xiaomi mi 10t pro?
yeh with any smartphone with snapdragon from 855. Just root and install konabess from GitHub and overclock and undervolt

Hi Patrick, sorry to ask but you abandoned for some reason?
I have a OnePlus 9R (SNAP 870) and it's hot, I'm looking for an undervolt on it but I can't find anything, could you give me some direction?
Use this table from this post in this video.
Max freq on Poco F3 is 683Mhz you have to try if can be overclock higher but Undervolt is still possible as all phones.
I recommend new version 0.15 on two lower freq retention and min_svs or low svs on third and do like in this table so 670 voltage SVS_L2.
I don't think that Snapdragon 870 is good choice for gaming better is to buy 865 and overclock to 950Mhz or 1ghz giving snapdragon 888 performance with lower temps than 870 and 888.
If you do root try to underclock CPU to 865+ 3ghz or 2.9ghz to lower temps performance difference isn't noticable.

things just update faster than I have time to test.
my charts became old, even the one Dr.Brown is using on his video, its quite old missing voltage steps and have not been tested on the newer versions of Konabess.
my original thread here took about 3 months of my time testing every possible setting to make sure other users didnt brick or toast their devices.
I took everything down when I seen alot of new rom updates, and konabess updates were causing bugs in the settings I had here for many users.
I didn't have time to retest everything and update my charts, I also had to deal with people stealing my charts and claiming the work for them selves. which I had to open youtube reports, contact google with proof of my work contact admins here and a few other sites too, etc all because some people didn't want to add a credit of where they found my charts.
so after a good week of emailing and chatting on the phone with google fraud control i decided to not continue posting my work, that may actually cause damage if used wrongly was too much work to deal with.
I'm still just too busy. my phone is stock android non rooted now because some apps I use can't be hidden.
so, I have no time to update this thread. I have no desire to leave the information for others to brick their devices.
the chart on dr.browns video is older than my most up to date chart, but still even that is months behind the current app and rom version changes.
my best advice is, if your phone works the way you want it, dont mess with any of the clock speeds. just undervolt some steps that are commonly used and test those.
too many people have tried to overclock their phones GPUs above 900 and lost functionality (permanently) or just hard bricked the phone (where an unbrick tool wont recover it.)
many will say its harmless, but its about usage. if you game alot and want to game alot, overclocking will create more heat, even if you undervolt. the result will be a paperweight.
those many people are not you, and not your phone. so anything can happen.
be mindful and careful of the settings you use. and install a temperature monitor for CPU and GPU.
going over 70'c will risk the loss of your unit.

Perfect understood Patrick, it's a shame all this happened, unfortunately people don't give value/recognition to people who help for free!
I'll enjoy and tell you my experience, my 9R is on OOS 11.2.6.6 (Stock) and with Kernel Stock as well (since there isn't much customization yet)
They ended up recommending the Dr. Brown video and I decided to do some tests, if the person copies the Overclock that he does in that video (905MHz) the device will not start, it will be necessary to flash the previous boot.img
This happened to me and I was able to reverse the situation (probably because the KERNEL does not support such clocks that would even be unnecessary)
But on his channel there is a more recent video teaching how to Underclock and so I took the clock's as a base and started to make my fine adjustments
Clocks follow this pattern; 512 - 490 - 455 - 445 - 305 - 295 - 195
Voltages as per your chart; SVS_L2 - SVS_L1 _ SVS_L0 - SVS_L0 - LOW_SVS - LOW_SVS - LOW_SVS
And the BUS frequencies I left original, so I found SWEET SPOT, the device is much cooler, stable, in games despite the Underclock holding well (80 FPS+ with graphics at maximum)
Hopefully there will soon be some app/kernel that can undervolt the CPU too, maybe just remove -25mv/-50mv and do some testing as most of the heat comes from it.
I'm quite satisfied and I'm grateful to you because without your charts in Dr. Brown's video, wouldn't know how to do!
I wish you all the best, success!

I recommend Overclocking by your self to higher freq.
This config from video don't boot on any sn865 devices even Apollo but I can overclock to 940 MHz stable.
I know that Poco F3 has lock freq to 683 MHz after that doesn't boot.
I think your UV is too high 512 can get as low as SVS_L1 or SVS_L0

Unfortunately on the OnePlus 9R (all stock) any clock higher than the original (670 MHz) the system doesn't boot (I don't know why, maybe some ROM limitation or KERNEL doesn't support it)
I ended up Underclocking to have a cooler device and in fact it is cooler without loss of performance in normal use and holding up well in games at maximum graphics
No artifacts, crashing or instability
As for the voltage on 512, it could really go with SVS_L1 - it goes between SVS_L2 and L1 on Patrick's Chart (525 - 512 - 490 MHz) I intend to do a test soon, for now it's stable and in games it doesn't get too hot!

No it is lock by Qualcomm to that freq so of doesn't boot it like 855+/860.
That why I buy Mi 10T with 865 and can be overclock to even 2ghz by someone.

Understood, a custom KERNEL doesn't unlock this lock by Qualcomm?
I had a OnePlus 8 with 865, today I just miss it

Maybe can by i case of 855+ was lock on all phones from manufacturer process.
But early builds of F3 has unlock freq but after that they are block that why buying 865 is better if you want performance for gaming or emulation like switch. I now play Zelda breath of the wild on my Mi 10 t and after 168days will be Overclocking to 940Mhz giving me performance of 888.
