How Does This Run With PUBG (H918 model, considering of purchasing)

[ZenovajXD]

Hello guys,

So recently I've been tempted of buying the V20 Tmobile edition from eBay refurbished, but I've heard of people mentioning that the thermal paste sucked, but if I'm getting it refurbished that should be fine. However, I just wanted to ask how PUBG mobile runs on this phone? I have an old Samsung Note 3 but it's nearly reaching its end. Of course I Greenified and installed Lineage on it, but if I get this phone and root it with Greenify, can it run PUBG at over 40 FPS on Medium settings? Been trying to look for this in the past few days.

Let me know guys

I play a lot of PUBG. I am using 990DS. On stock ROM it was almost unplayable for me due to lag. I rooted and use Super V20 rom with Mk2000 kernel and thermal throttling fix. My main reason for rooting was to fix lag. It runs fine now. But there are a few frames dropped on medium settings usually and sometimes(very rarely) there's some lag.
PS: I also use greenify.
Haven't tried PUBG with lineage OS or RR ROM.

So wait for the Super V20 rom can it use the second screen or not? And have you tried using the Gfx Tool for Pubg or not?

Super V20 is stock based rom, so yes 2nd screen works. I tried Resurrection remix rom with second screen support, it worked decently as well. For AOSP roms second screen is work in progress.
Haven't tried gfx tool yet. Wil try and let you know.
Edit: just read that they've started banning accounts using gfx tools, so won't try it lol.
But I'm happy with performance so didn't install gfx too earlier.

So wait can it do high fps for it though? I'm stuck with Medium fps for note 3. Yea I uninstalled it too was just wondering the demographic for people that are using it.

I play PubG and it plays normal to me and I even play Guns of Boom set to 60fps and runs perfect.
On pure unrooted stock rom, when I play games, the phone gets terribly hot AF and that's not good at all although V20 plays games well. I rooted and use Super V20 Rom with thermal throttle fix, mk200 betal kernal, updated Vulkan gpu driver, Greenify, Amplify. Games run perfect still but without the extreme heat ups. RR rom is a straight NoNo for gaming, too laggy, everything else in it works great but not for gaming.. Lineage 15.1 os too is a NoNo for gaming. Stick to custom stock roms like Super, Alpha or Weta. I recommend Super out of all, Alpha is buggy, Weta is garbage because the dev removes Bloatware but installs abunch of 3rd party Bloatware.....lol.... and if u remove the garbage in that rom your left with more bugs. SUPER is ?.

How is PUBG with the new stock Oreo update? Of course with Greenify and Magisk. Or unless that hasn't came out yet for your carrier. It seems like Super is the best rom out there by my research.

I don't know yet bro, I have the H918 variant, stock Oreo hasn't came out yet but very soon it should be released like any time now to a couple weeks.
I barely noticed the Alpha stock nougat ROM has been reopened and there's a newer update of it released. Haven't tried that out yet. Not sure if I should try it cuz Super rom is pretty dang good.

So wait how often does it get updated though? Every month?

Where did you get mk2000 kernel for Nougat? I see only Oreo https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-h910-us996-ucl-mk2000-kernel-t3708330 Super is only Nougat. My device is H990DS.
