Game Booster working correctly? - Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi, I am just playing around with the settings in gamebooster and have the feeling that something isn't working correctly.
For example:
I edit settings (resolution) of Super Mario Run and save the settings.
Then I reopen the game, but after that I can't press anything in the game (no recognition of touch input)
Then I have to reboot the phone.
Kill the game from Multitask-Windows doesn't help.
Moreover Mario Run is listed as a 120Hz compatible game on Razer homepage. But with 120hz it stutters on my device. Have to set it to 60hz.
Do your game work correctly if you edit settings and reopen the game?
And how do you configure your Game Booster?

I'm using the custom settings and also experience odd behaviour. When switching resolution with summoners war I can't close menus via the x-buttons. They're simply not touchable.
I don't have to restart the phone for changes to take effect.

I did further testing. Yes, the only problem is switching resolution. It only works if the in game booster selected resolution is the same as the resolution in device settings.
Otherwise something is wrong with touch input.
And yes, reboot is not needed after change of game booster settings.

For summoners war only the 1440p resolution works even though I use 1080p as system setting.

So, it seems that some game have problems with resolution change in game booster.
3D rendered games seems so work with a resolution change, but some of my 2D games (like mario run) dont work with a resolution change.
Moreover:
Is antialiasing on, when the slider is on the left (greyed out) or the right (green)? (The description is a bit confusing).
Moreover do you see a optical difference between on and off? I cannot see a difference.

Game Tuner and MM

Can anyone confirm that Samsung Game Tuner is not working on Marshmallow?
Any change I make there is not applied to my games.
It's working but it's cause system frame rate drop
And made games laggy even with maximum quality mod
Yes, I noticed that frames drops with Aldo's Adventure.
Vainglory runs fine, but there is no change in resolution.
S7''s Game Tuner is embedded in the system, right?

Change App Resolution

It it possible to change any App Resolution?
I tried Subway Surfers on my Mate 7 (1920x1080) but after I start the game, the resolution looks like it is downscaled.
After I use CheatDroid to see the Preferences, I saw that the Resolution was 1280x720, so only HD.
But my Display supports Full HD (1920x1080), so my Question is, can I change the Ingame resolution for any Games with NO GRAPHIC SETTINGS ?
Btw i also tried to change the values to Full HD but i saw no differences and after closing the game and going back to CheatDroid, the Values have been set to default.

B190 update makes games run terrible?

Hi just updated to b190 is it just me or has anybody else noticed that the update makes games run terrible?lag and judder all over the shop .cheers
Same problem here, after update to B190. Clash of Clash picture quality when zoomed out blurry/fuzzy, when zoomed in a little bit better but stil not crisp as before the update..
Yep my clash of clans gone the same way and golf clash is silly laggy
I found this on the internet and tried it. Makes picture quality quite a bit better.
In Android's developer options you can try to change the dpi minimum width value from 360 to 480, and after that the games' graphics are good, but gaming is a little laggy, so I keep the 360 value. After that I tried to clean every information of the game (without reinstalling) and now the graphics works well. It seems that after the upgrade to Android 7, clash royale wasn't able to identify the proper dpi value, and maybe there were conflict between information cached from the old system. Try only to clean cache and game information, it will solve the problem I hope. For me it worked

[GUIDE] How to Really improve the gaming framerates on your Mi A1

Yo fellas, its your"rooting enthusiast SenpaiYank (lmao rooting enthusiast, as if such a thing exists)​
Well, as you know, our device has a quite outdated and not so beefy (at all) SoC, the snapdragon 625. While its CPU is not tremendously ridiculously bad, the GPU quite is. This is not a prolem to people who don't care about games but a very prominent one on the other side.
With the help of this trick, tweak, whatever you decide to call it, you'll practically be able to play any game out there that you're not able to or play that same game at a higher setting than you would. The trick consists basically on lowering the screen resolution through a script, trading some of the visual quality for a noticeable night day performance boost. It's a common trick that works on other devices too and I've yet to find a game that had problems with it.
I'm using "profile" scripts to achieve it so you can change it on the go. I feel that way is the most ergonomic and quick one. Just run each script with root permissions according to your need. I recommend FX file explorer. Wanna play a graphically intensive game? Switch to gaming profile. Wanna do something else besides gaming? Switch to the default one.
As I side note, the trick can be done on unrooted users too but you'll need a computer and you'll have to apply the gaming profile permanently (unless you're willing to repeat the procedure whenever you want to go back to default). I can talk about it if you guys get interested on it.
Enough blah blah, how do I do it ?​1st - Grab both of them (default.sh and gaming.sh)
2nd - Install (in case you don't have it), open and type this on the Terminal Emulator app:
Code:
su
To attain root access (not sure if needed but, just in case)
Code:
wm density
To get your current screen density value at 1080p (override density field).
Lets imagine you got 432.
3rd - Choose and calculate a new resolution for your gaming profile
So now lets ge to the actual work. Our device native resolution is 1080p (1920x1080) and we want to lower that.
I lower it to 810p (not a standard lmao) which is 75% of 1080p (1440x810) as it gives me agood balance between visual quality and performance. You can go even lower to something like 50% if you're ambituous about performance. At 810p I can expect a minimum of 25% performance uplift (not FPS).
So, to get your gaming profile resolution DPI, you multiply the relative percentage of it by the default profile resolution DPI.
Code:
[COLOR="darkred"]432[/COLOR] * [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]0.75[/COLOR] = [COLOR="Blue"]324[/COLOR]
This value will be your gaming resolution DPI a.k.a. the resolution from your gaming mode script.
4th - Edit default.sh and gaming.sh, apply the new values and save the files somewhere.
default.sh script should contain the values of your default resolution, in this case, 1920x1080 and 432. Size for resolution and density for DPI.
gaming.sh script should contain the values of your gaming profile resolution, in this case, 1440x810 and 324.
VOILÁ​
To make the process much much easier and quicker, I use FX file explorer and its shortcut feature so I can switch between both profiles from my home screen pretty easily. Whenever I'm not playing a demanding game Is stick to the default mode, whenever I'm playing a graphically intensive game, I switch to the gaming mode and enjoy the improvement.
Cool, cool. So, is there an actual improvement in performance or is this just one of these so called placebo tricks ?​It's definately not placebo and probably the most effective way around of increasing gaming performance!
I've tried to record a test with and without the trick (and failed, it doesn't look as effective in the video but I'll leave it here anyway). Take it with not 2 but 3 grains of salt due to all the uncontrallable factors that involved the scene, the actual gain in practical use is much more noticeable. The benchmark takes place in the super duper hot (pun intended) looking and intensive game, Shadowgun Legends.
On the first video, the device is running the Extreme Kernel, without the tweak, along a CPU cap of 2.5Ghz and a GPU cap of 855Mhz (or something around that). I didn't increase it further to prevent the device from overheating (which it already practically was) and because at a higher GPU clock, I would get arctifacts (my device does not support the 922Mhz frequency).

On the second video, the device is running a beta batch of the velocity kernel, with the tweak, along a CPU cap of 1.9Ghz and GPU cap of 672Mhz. I ran the device at a lower speed so you can see how useful the improvement can also be.

I ran the game at the high graphical setting (30 FPS max) on one of its most intesive scenarios and were at very high ambient temperatures (30C) so again, take the videos with a grain of salt. Used an external gamepad to play and used Scrcpy to record the screen (through wifi so, the quality and framerate from the recording is considerably worse than the actual one). You should also remember the 5-6 FPS strain of capturing the screen.
I also used game bench to monitor the framerate (top right corner) where the last 1 minute of each benchmark were with the screen capturing off. Once again, sorry for the bad quality of the recordings, I'll leave a screenshot of the game bench results.
Not willing to write a outro so, yeah, basically thats it
Here's another sample video, of the same game, this time at medium settings. Along the very noticeable smoother gameplay you can also notice how the GPU load goes down from 95-100 to 70-80 and it becomes less of the bottleneck on the scenario. With the gaming profile could I could actually remove the 30 fps cap and run the game at +30.

Force an specific app to run at 60 hz, but maintain 90 hz for everything else.

I just got a 7 Pro and I'm wondering if there is any way to run a game at 60hz and the rest of the phone at 90hz.
Pokémon Go internal game logic is tied to the framerate (the game runs at locked 30 hz) and OnePlus magic sauce that forces the game to run at 90 hz break the game mechanics. I have to spin balls twice as fast to throw them, etc.
I'd love to run everything at 90hz but just the game at 60hz.
Thanks!
There is already posts about this and I made a tasker option for it. Look through guides section.
Glad I'm not the only one! I switched to 60hz just because of this reason.
Download Tasker from playstore
Here is the profile I made so u can choose what apps you want to have set to 60Hz, it will Switch to 60Hz on apps you choose and once you exit the app/game it goes back to forced 90Hz.

It worked perfectly, thank you for the profile, and thank you for linking the thread.
Linking it wasn't that hard, surely.
