How to get great performance from your note 5 Pro (Whyred) while preserving battery l - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

So I am writing this post just help some people who might be thinking about how to churn out the best performance from this phone gaming wise or not while also maintaining it's battery life so that you can tackle the dilemma of wanting good performance or good battery life.
So this isn't a very well structured and comprehensive test but more so what I have found in my regular usage using this combination.
So I am right now on MIUI 11 9.10.24 Beta [Xiaomi.eu] with extended kernel V12 EAS. I have also used custom ROM's based on AOSP (Both android 9 & 10), so I think my judgement can be fair.
I play two games , that is PUBG mobile and PES 2020 mobile. This two games are graphically intensive games (more than candy crush or temple run). So I have set this two games as my benchmark for performance.
So here are my experience with different combinations of ROM's and kernel withh these games :-
1. Pixel Experience Beta + Stock kernel [Android 10]
PUBG mobile :- Graphics : Balances , FPS : High (30)
PES Mobile :- Graphics : Standard , FPS : 60
So in this the result was that even though I was able to play PUBG on high and it was running smoothly without any hiccups , I couldn't say the same for PES mobile as on 60 FPS it wasn't as smooth as I had hoped it would be and even on 30 FPS it was struggling to play smoothly. And according to me the smoothness just shows that where the game is able to keep the FPS consistent and where it cannot.
So..
PUBG mobile :-
Running Smoothly , Almost no FPS drops
PES mobile :-
Not running smoothly , Constant FPS drops
To my sheer suprise I had the same result with this ROM on Extended Kernel V10 EAS . And I am pretty sure there wasn't any issue that the ROM was in beta test , as you will get same results in Android 9 ROM's too.
2. MIUI 11 beta (9.10.XX) + Stock kernel [Android 9]
PUBG mobile :- Graphics : Smooth , FPS : Medium (25)
PES mobile :- Graphics :- Standard , FPS : 60
So in this Combination the results do a full reversal as here PUBG is locked at low graphics with maximum of medium (25) frame rate while PES mobile is able to do standard graphics at 60 FPS. And the result is also somewhat confusing as the smoothness in PUBG at low with medium frame rate is not that great (Meaning frequent FPS drops) but PES mobile with FPS set 60 and standard graphics is running smoothly (Meaning almost no FPS drops).
So..
PUBG mobile :-
Not running smoothly , Frequent FPS drops
PES mobile :-
Running smoothly , Almost no FPS drops
3. MIUI 11 Beta (9.10.XX) + Extended kernel V12 EAS
PUBG Mobile :- Graphics :Balanced/High, FPS :High(30)
PES mobile :- Graphics : Standard/High , FPS : 60
So this is the last combination and the best one in my opinion from my experience. The results are honestly too good. In this PUBG mobile is able to run on balanced and high graphics with High FPS (due to the kernel using fake GPU ID which shows the GPU as Adreno 512 instead of Adreno 509) and it runs very smoothly , meaning almost no FPS drops. Now for PES mobile the graphics is set to standard which FPS is set to 60 , the game runs very smoothly meaning almost no FPS drops..
So..
PUBG mobile :-
Running smoothly , Almost no FPS drops
Pes Mobile :-
Running smoothly , Almost no FPS drops
So in conclusion as you saw the last combination is able to run both game smoothly without dropping any frames , I personally think that MIUI 11 beta + Extended kernel is the for performance.
Note that it's Not necessary it should be MIUI 11 beta , the results will be the same on the stable versions too.
Note #2 , It's also not necessary to always install extended kernel V12 as the other later version will also provide the same performance. But it's necessary that you USE the EAS version as many users have told that EAS version is better in battery compared to HMP version.
TL;DR :- Use any Extended Kernel version that is EAS
Now about the battery life I have been getting around 7h Screen on time , and I would say that I am medium user (I play this 2 games but not very frequently .. Like 2 hours in a day both combined) based on my usage..
So it should suffice any person in battery life unless they are very heavy users (Playing games for a large amount of time etc.)
So thank you for reading this Post ! This was my first on XDA and would like to know if it helped anybody. This was my experience I just wanted to share that I thought would be valuable to some people.

Is camera working with MIUI 11 (xiaomi.eu ?) and Extended kernel ?

You should try kangarooX 5.5 with eas performance module.
Pubg at balanced settings and high fps(60) works great. Can you run a test with high settings and high fps and do a comparison with your results?

To all you Note 3 Gamers, Or Extreme multitaskers

Wow, CM on a Note 3 simply rockets its performance through the roof !
I've noticed over the past few days my device has played the most intensive 3D Games that android has to offer amazingly well, It really does show TW up!
Below I've posted a YouTube Video of running Three intensive games all at once ( not literally ) and swapping around some other apps, just to show you how snappy and quick this phone now is !
** GTA SA is running on High res/draw distance with shadows on , reflections on and details set to medium ( this was a lag fest on TW )
Enjoy all, Many thanks to CM and all the devs that have placed their work into it

Games on Galaxy Ace 3 LTE (GT-S7275R) - what you can run

Games what are tested by me on Galaxy Ace 3 LTE (GT-S7275R)
3G and DualSIM versions - i not have, i cant test.
Asphalt 8 Airbone - High settings super!
Call of Duty:Strike Team** - little lags,but playable
Despicable me: Minion Rush - no lags
Gangstar Vegas - bit laggy - high/medium
Grand Theft Auto: (no lags at settings, or little very little lags)
III - draw dis. 20%, screen res. 40%, vis. effects medium,dyn. shadows off,frame limiter off
Vice City - crash when loading - cant run/play
San Andreas** - Trafiic mode Light, Vis. Effect low , resolut. 0%, draw dis. 30%, shadows off , car refl. Low
(When update to 1.07 - Traffic Classic,Vis. Eff Low,resolution 100%, draw dist. 0%,shadows Low,car refl. Detailed, and still more fps than older version!)
Minecraftocket Edition - all setting on, draw distance maximum - no lags
Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour - i think never lagged
Real Racing 3 - no lags
(Real Racing 2 - i think when run RR3 then can run RR2)
Simpsons: Tapped Out - no lags
Subway Surfers - no lags
World of Tanks:Blitz - average 30-40 Fps (PS:After update 1.6 fps is higher and gameplay better)
** Games you can play and run! But you cant download or buy from Google Play store..
Games are working and tested by me on kosthouls Cyanogenmod 12 - Android Lollipop, i know , in Stock ROM 4.2.2 games will laggy ! (Ex: Asphalt 8 will lag in Low setting on stock!)
All games tested on 1.2 GHz, no overclock.
Be sure you have free RAM in phone, when phone RAM is free only 150MB and lower, phone will laggy ! Very laggy! (Using RAM manager pro and good)
Use FolderMount for save big games to external SD card.Its better!
Tip: Try Greenify if you on Stock ROM or phone is laggy than earlier - it will help !
I played asphalt 8 smoothly on stock rom at highest setting (i used greenify to hibernate apps)

Gaming on honor 8

Games like pubg running like mess on honor 8 nougat 7.0 even a hundred dollar phone can run pubg better
I think the main culprit is kernel bcz pubg is not using high performance cortex a72 cores i have monitored it while playing
My ques is : is upgrading to oreo will solve the problem??
Because this chip is not optimised by game developers
Or can we tweak the kernel
Or can i turn off 1st cluster of a53 cores
??????
pubg runs good on my phone
Maybe if someone be able to port GPU turbo to honor 8
I have noticed the exact same thing but the bigger cores drop to prevent over heating i guess. Playing pubg on paranoid Android rom, using root and forcing a72 to work at performance using kernel adiutor works great.
How to force a72 cores??

Use kernel adiutor app from play store. You need root access so either magisk or SuperSU. Then you can drag from the left to find core option and you can then choose the frequencies of both a72 and a53. Use full while playing. It'll kill your battery not drain but really kill your batteries life.
It works best on custom ROMs, tried on stock but failed because of the kernel continuously resetting.
Search on google for "GPU turbo XDA". There's a thread where a developer has created something like GPU turbo. You'll need a custom recovery and magisk installed on your device to use it. Hopefully it might help. To play pubg I use Gltools and Gfx tool for pubg.
Set your GPU to adreno 540 using gltools and then open PUBG. In the graphics settings change the Quality to "Smooth", this will unlock extreme FPS setting. And select FPS as "Extreme". Disable changing auto fps. Save the settings. Now try playing the game.
(Optional) Exit the game and open GFX tool for PUBG. Select 0.7 version and change the resolution to lowest and graphic settings to "So smooth". Don't touch the FPS setting. Save and run the game. With this the game will run smoothly with over 40+ fps all the time for hours. But your trade off will be some graphics in the game which you'll have to get used to. I hope this helps.
Game is not running when i set adreno 540 on gltools
It closes automatically

It works fine for me in any adreno and Mali GPU setting except for open GL2.0 GPUs. Maybe you should try clear data in PUBG and try again.
Just a quick update. Games are working super smooth on RROS B2. I didn't have to use gfx tool for pubg to reduce graphics like I used to do before. Just used gltools to unlock 60 fps and it works like charm in higher graphics quality and steady frames around 50-60fps. And the best thing is phone is not even getting hot even after 1 hour of pubg :good:

It's r20p0 here.
Just wanted to check whether anyone else's device drains battery even while charging when playing pubg or if it is only my phone.. any reply would be appreciated
You shouldn't play games while charging. It's killing battery fast.
Will we get gpu turbo on H8?
No

Yes the battery drains even while plugged and playing pubg. That's only on stock ROM. In Custom ROMs it charges even when you play.

Updating to Android Q {One UI 2} from Pie reduced gaming performance

I have bought this phone last year {shipped with android pie} and I started playing pubg mobile for the first time with this device. It was an average gaming experience with medium graphics. But after upgrading to One UI 2 {Android 10}, pubg was not playable even in low graphics. It was too laggy. Frustrated by this, i had uninstalled it then.
Now I have rooted this phone with magisk. Is there any way to improve performance? I know that the device is Capable as I played before. Any way to unlock that potential?
Note: I have set "focus on performance" in game booster settings. I also optimized my phone with app booster from galaxy labs.

note 20 ulta optimisation for pubg

Hello
I have sm-986u. Android 11. It is not smooth pubg mobile smooth extrme grafic mode.
Any suggestion for optimization?
There isn't high performance mode. Enhanced mode don't effect in games.

The first step is to delete the game with all data and then re-download it again. The second step is to download the game plugins and set a higher frame rate option when running pubg. If you did not take advantage of the previous steps, you may not have reformatted the device after updating from Android 10 to 11
