I'll start off by saying I basically bought the surnia Moto E 2015 (xt1526) specifically for an affordable way to play Pokemon Go. When it's working it works quite well but when in very high particle effect situations such as Battling or Evolving Pokemon it will start to get very hot and then eventually the frame rate will drop and sometimes the app will crash. I've tried a few different ROMs (Cyanogenmod 13, ResurrectionRemix, Cypher) and all seem to have the same issue. The only Kernel I've tried so far are stock and Squid Kernel.
That being said though I've had some experience tweaking and trying to optimize phones for normal app and multitasking usage but I've no experience at all trying to optimize for gaming. If anyone has gotten this particular phone to run optimally without crashes etc while gaming would you kindly suggest the Kernel, Roms and/or settings I should use for doing so? I've seen that were some good gaming ROM's for otus but those seem to have not been brought over to the surnia.
TLDR: surnia xt1526 overheats plummets in FPS and crashes while battling in Pokemon Go, any help appreciated
Update: After trying many different suggestions though I'm sure they did help out others they did not work for me. My phone's GPU was overheating up to 62 degrees sometimes in particular while many people seemed to be tweaking their CPU's mine was still overheating and crashing with those tweaks.
So this is probably a YMMV thing but what finally worked for me was installing a kernel that had some good GPU tweaks and the one I found best so far has been Inazuma R5 it actually has the GPU's lowest setting underclocked to 100mhz, with 400mhz still being the max and also makes use of adreno idler to keep the GPU cooler.
So if you've been having these issues I'd suggest opening up Kernel Adiutor after your phone starts crashing and overheating and taking note of the temperatures. If it's your GPU look for a kernel with adreno idler. If it's CPU then you can go with some of the other suggestions below.
Edit: I want to be clear that this is mainly only a problem with BATTLE after 30-60 consecutive minutes in Pokemon Go (sometimes also with mass evolution because of the heavy animation effects during evolution) So please specify, if you could, whether or not you've had a stable battling experience for extended periods of time.
Ive been using CM13 and squid kernel r16g and had been experiencing lags in pokemon go until i tried out some settings in kernel auditor. In kernel auditor under the tab low memory killer scroll down and select 'very light' and disable adaptive low memory killer(the first option in the 'low memory killer' tab) and now switch the tab to 'virtual memory' and scroll down to the last option and set the memory limit to around 460-480mb. Now under the tab 'cpu-plug' disable the intelliplug switch and there will be an option called as touch to boost, you just gotta enable that(this option is a major player in making the game to perform well).So just try this and see if this works, it worked very well for, i hope it does the same for you.
P.S. This may cause your battery to drain more as you set ur phone to perform more, So after you finish playing the game set it to default.

Can this phone run the game fine on stock firmware? Or have you only tried it on custom roms?

A friend of mine tried playing this on stock ROM, frame drops lags and crashes all the way.
Havent quite used the stock rom lately....just been flashing roms quite frequently, so can't really say abt the performance of this game in stock And yes, a must try ROM recommendation for all you guys, playing pokemon go, wud be slim rom. Flashed Slim rom yesterday and found it to be light weighted ROM compared to many other roms n that too without a custom kernel. I tried playing pokemon go while in Slim and it worked just fine without lags or crashes. The only thing is that Slim is based on AOSP/CAF so features r limited unlike other roms.
it works fine on mine phone with stock 6.0 and squid kernel, I think that your lags are caused by ram hungry apps in background
ive bought three boost phones in the last couple of weeks just for spoofing devices, all running perfect. I pushed twrp 3.0.2, official cm13, and that's it.
edit: here is the full setup i used when flashing and unlocking/rooting from my google drive:

I don't know I'm not really running much in the background just Gmail and Telegram, as I'm playing more and more it seems like it starts to overheat then starts lagging after doing battles for about 20mins straight. I have to put it in front of a fan and let it cool off before I can do battles again. So I think it's just a hardware issue. Unless anyone else has been able to do battles for more than 30mins without running in to lag and crashing

Yes. The only problem I've been having is I think my spoofer is getting kicked out do to low RAM every once in a while and I've got to reboot it. Everything else is all good. I really love these phones.

Just installed TUG ROM the other day; initially it was ok. I started loading some of my apps on it; I hate having a ton of apps, so I try to keep it minimal. I can't play any full screen intense game without some horrible lag. I thought this phone would be on par with my old Droid X (1Ghz processor, 512MB RAM); it would play just about any game I wanted to with no worries. Am I missing something? Is there some special tweak or script I'm supposed to run? With the SEMC Kernel (2nd one with wifi fixes) and TUG, the phone is definitely better, but still laggy. I have autokiller set to extreme, and autorun disabling all basic apps that are auto-running at boot. I was just hoping for more performance from this phone

Nope this phone is just too old for good games. Maybe they would work if You had no apps installed. I think playing on this device is anyway crappy because of not fully working multitouch

So how the hell does she get smooth playing flash video from this TV site: http://www.navidiku.rs/tv-uzivo/tv-pink
While i have to overclock my phone to 1800Mhz to make it bearlly smooth...HOW is that possible???
I checked she had flash player 10.3.186.3 and i downloaded and installed that one but its the same thing...:/ i had Flash 11 before.
I can play Youtube video 360p smooth and around 1400Mhz 480p smooth. And phone is overall very snappy and fast, i mean i can play N64 games smooth, like Extreme G 2 for example...
So why is mine phone choppy while her is running smooth on stock 1000Mhz...?
1400...1800MHz are you serious.... :what:
You should not overclock your phone to such high frequency... It will burn down your CPU...

Could be a number of things, but without knowing every app on your Phone, additional tweaks you've made/not made etc it's hard to say.

I did not do any adittional tweaks, also, only apps that are running in the background are Settings and Lg keyboard, because i kill all the running apps when i reboot my phone to free all the RAM.
Also, as far as i know, you can overclock your phone as long as it doesn't overheat... But still, that's why i want to make it go smooth, i want to make overclocking less needed...
Looking at the kernel thread it appears to be quite old, try using the CM7 Kernel instead, make some tweaks and see how that goes.

Just to be clear, killing some apps in ram manually is not, efficient; it may really affect the performance (many topics/debates already out there). Try testing it with uninstalled apps (clean rom with minimal needed apps). And I agree many other factors may still affect it(scripts, tweaks, etc).
K thx. I will try out some other ROMs and kernels...hope to find something similar to CyanogenMod...I cant use kernel provided with ROM because phone is then loaded with bugs (no second speaker, camera freezing, touchscreen problems...etc) because fix for these only works on Rage kernel.
I recently got android 4.0.4 for my phone. I used this link: http://www.arulraj.net/2012/07/upgrade-samsung-galaxy-5-to-ice-cream-sandwich.html The problem is that my phone is extremely slow and many apps just force close on start. How can i speed up my phone? I was researching this problem and many ppl said something about kernels. Should I get that for my phone and how will it help? Also, what apps help make it faster and what else can i do to make my phone faster?Btw the phone is rooted.

Don't touch the kernel if you are inexperienced in such things you will just screw the rom up... go into developement settings and overclock your cpu to 768mhz for a start. governer... smartass v2 should be fine. use a task manager to kill background apps etc. there are many things you can do but remember that 4.0 has higher requirements than our phone has so performance will always be an issue... if u want have a look into swap partitions, cpu overclocking, cpu governers, I/O Schedulers, Caching etc... there is so much to tweaking performance to get the most out of your device
When I stop apps that r running, they just come back within 5 seconds. Also, i am already at 768mhz. 768 mhz has made it a little faster, but some apps wont launch and just stop when i launch them. Is there a way to get them to work?

I really would suggest you change roms mate, either CyanogenMod 7.2 or 10.1
10.1 is Android 4.2 and 7.2 is 2.3.7
naturally 7.2 is fastest and most stable.
But why is it that some apps work and others dont?
How about increasing the ram? Can I do that?
Will this work? http://www.droidiser.com/2012/05/how-to-increase-internal-memory-and-ram.html

You cannot increase the RAM like in a computer as it is attached to the motherboard directly. That link describes using a swap partition on the sd that acts kind of like ram but it is not ram itself, it is slower than ram and less efficent however swap can be useful. I have tried swap and noticed no real difference in performance at all but you could sure try it... just remember to enable swap in the cyanogenmod settings otherwise the partition will do nothing and u lose valuable sd card space

i'm using CM7,should i use CM10 or MIUI or still using CM7?
sorry about my english
Use seeder app set to aggresive, no need to oc just set gov to performance. If you not use any ramscript use romtool box go to memory manager try optimum preset. And also go to sd booster to boost your sd speed cache.
That's all Regards

Honestly, make an effort to purchase a new phone. I've had a i5000 foir almost a year and sometimes I almost went crazy due to its slowness.
You can try using a (fast) sdcard as supplementary memory, but it will be still slow. And no way to use a CyanogenMod later than 7.2. Stick with this at minimum.
But you can find really good bargains at ebay. Please consider it.
Hi guys
Two weeks ago I had stock Android MM on my device and that was good, but when I see the video in YouTube (Z2 Oreo with Lineage) I've decided to upgrade my phone.
But when I installed Lineage OS 15.1 I had Overheat and battery drain (really fast) issue
I've changed my ROM to carbon and now it's a little better but still I have that problem
I've searched Google and installed many kernels, Of course it's still Linux 3.4.0 Lineage in kernel version and the same problem
Installed kernel auditor and tried many configs, BUT BUT BUT THE CORES IN AUDITOR ARE RANDMLY SWITCHING ON OR OFF
for example a core is off and then it's on on the latest frequency! And usually all of them are on latest together
When I connect to internet via mobile data Overheat and battery drain are faster and in the settings it shows that The IDLE and network standby are using battery fast (more than screen)
I've installed z2 baseband patch after flashing ROM because I don't have any network and the developer team of the ROM says do it
I've wiped cashes every time I've installed a new zip
And I've used fastboot to install kernels (boot.IMG)
Please help me
Device information:
Xperia z2
d6502
Rooted
TWRP
Unlocked bootloader
Carbon 6.1 (8.1.0)
Kernel: Linux 3.4.0 Lineage
I have the Same problem. but we need to forgive the developer of the Rom. he is doing his best.hope this issues will be fixed in the next update.BTW i am going to change my battery
Try searching for and installing the 'Carrier services' apk from Google, you'll probably find it on apkmirror
Then make sure you use intelliplug only with no mpdecision
https://prntscr.com/jw3q68
The cores changing states thing is normal

ROM is perfect this is not because of that, Now I know that it's because of phone idle and network standby.
When the data is turned on, not always.
I think maybe another baseband patch will be ok, of course, when I didn't have installed any baseband patch and there were not any! network the idle was draining the battery

Cores: I know that but not like this! It's like a storm
I've seen my phones states when it was on stock rom and just when I was playing games or... Other cores were active, Not always and at latest frequency!
That's actually why my phone overheats and battery drains fast, something is always processing.
Thanks for help I'll try

I'm not sure
The only thing is that I have lags when I play HD games

Hello,
Thank you so much for jumping in this thread & I desperately need your help, kindly read on.
I was a happy satisfied user of POCO (with known touch issues) which I primarily bought for PUBG until last month.
SInce last month or from Vikendi Map update, during gameplay, my game LAGS or hangs for a second, it happens every 10-15 second of gameplay. This is extremely irritating.
To overcome PUBG Lag issue, I tried following ways
1. Changing PUBG Graphics settings to from HDR to HD, Balanced and even smooth,
reduced frame rates - Didn't work.
2. Uninstall & Install again - Didn't work.
3. Hard Reset & Fastboot Install - Worked for gameplay of around 1 hour, again LAG
4. Installed Custom Kernel - Franco, Extreme, SDClang with Performance governor in Kernal auditor or Performance profile in FK manager app and other possible tricks- randomly smooth gameplay for sometime ( 20% of total gameplay), then again heavy lag.
5. Now installed MIUI Global Beta 9.1.10 - Not Working
6. Repair option within PUBG - didnt work
Funniest part we bought 2 POCO phones , other for my brother and without any issues or lag gameplay is perfect in his phone even on HDR and Ultra setting.
I'm not a die hard gamer, but I love to play PUBG for around 1 Hour in evening after work but this unfortunate event has ruined it.
I request you all fellow members, Kindly suggest me a way out of this to make my gameplay smooth again, or atleast suggest me a way to find out the cause behind this.
Thank you from the bottom of heart in advance .

Thank you so much for reply Sir, I did hit repair couple of times, still its the lag persists.
for me this works very well and pubg runs smoothly
1) make a clean install of nitrogen os with kat kernel and magisk
2) install smanager app from google play
3) open the app, in the first pop up click on "navigate with root permissions" or something like that, then when you open any folder, you give the root permissions.
4) create a script with this code and save it:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo 2 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_message/sconfig
5) run like root
6) install pub gfx+ (I have the paid version just to support the dev, but you can have the XDA version, it's in XDA lab) and put this settings:
-zero lag mode+battery ON
-graphics profile: smooth with max fps
-potato graphics ON
-HW rendering: opengl 2.0
-GPU optimization: apply all
-memory boost at your choose
-safe mode ON
-Save sensitivity at your choose
remember select the resolution that you like, I have 1080p, and your game variant in the beginning.
7) if you have pubg in the ram, remember to close before and then click on apply, pubg will open, when you will be in the lobby, go to settings, graphics, make sure the settings are correct (smooth+extreme), and go to the end and disable the auto-adjust graphics.
now you can test if all go well, if not, you could change the code of script from 2 to 10 and see, if still with 10 runs bad idk how you could solve it
sorry for the bad English, but I hope that this works for you
Thank you so so much sir, I'll try the above steps and get back to you.

or you can try thermal configure app made for poco
give it a try, it does help and yeah that lag you notice is an issue of PUBGM now.
Update - surprisingly, lag issue for me started with Vikendi map launch update which was specific to my poco, not with another poco bought, but now, after yesterday's update, lag is again gone, I used to think that issue was with my phone as same game ran smoothly on another poco, but now new pubg 180mb update again makes it smooth. So what was the prpblem?

The problem was in the game, they've already fixed it.
Relax bro, your phone is fine!
Update -
Unfortunately after 1 hour of gameplay, lag similar to Low battery lag has again started ??
your phone got heat, not because gameplay i assume. maybe poor sim signal.
No sir, my phone doesn't get heated much, and just about a month ago, I was able to play on HDR smoothly
Flash LOS 16. Use the thermal mode for pubg. Enjoy stutter free pubg.
Dude ..if you have turned on the game booster in poco, I knidly suggest you to turn of game booster app . Restart once and make sure the game booster is turned off . Now try to play pubg.

What is your battery temperature while playing? If its 45°C+ thats thermal throttle. You need atleast 42°C lower to play smooth

For now it works fine on lower temp levels. But when temp gets increases or the battery gets low, it starts to drop frame massively...
stop using game turbo
