Gaming on Nougat - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
I need to ask for hardcore gaming which Nougat rom should i use, and any other options which i can use.

If I'm being honest, for gaming I'd stick to an older ROM, Marshmallow for example, or even stock ROM. Nougat is not too battery friendly on itself, with hardcore gaming the battery doesn't last longer than two hours. Just my opinion.
Maybe check this thread out, could be interesting:

[Q] FoxHound VS ResurrectionRemix

So as usual, our device has many fantastic ROMs available and before I continue, I wanna thank every awesome developer that takes the time out to work on them and make users that much happier with their SGSIII's.
With that said, I've been trying a few JB AOSP/AOKP ROMS and I wanted to get some user input on two particular ROMs (though you can mention any other ROM as well if you wish).
I've personally really enjoyed using ResurrectionRemix 3.x.x and FoxHound 1.x.
I wanted to know what your experiences have been with these two ROMS (in comparison to eachother). Pros/Cons, general comments, etc...
The things im looking at are Battery Life, Consistent Performance, Buggieness, and overall satisfaction.
Any comments would be appreciated! =D
Thanks!
PS.: Please also mention the kernel u used when running each ROM, for the sake of thouroughness.
I'm using RR and running Siyah latest dual boot 1.7RC kernel
I would like to say that I experience Good battery with WiFi or data On for nearly 12 hours and I could get 15% or less battery left at the end of the day. With heavy usage I forgot. This ROM is very smooth for me and I experience no lag.
I have not tried FH ROM thou.

Yeah that sounds roughly the same that i've been getting with RR and Siyah 1.7rc1. Although sometimes it would be more like 19 Hours of normal-medium usage, and sometimes it would be 10 hours for same usage. Sometimes it feels a little like it has its own temperaments. lol.
Stefan, I realize you are just asking for user input, but this is basically asking which rom/kernel combo is the best. Which comes down to this:

Best miui version with best battery backup pure stock

I read some comments that they used to get 8-9hrs of SOT, some said they could manage to get 10 or more hours on SOT, so ive been thinking on creating thread to get some info on what version of miui is the best for battery backup, ive used miui7 and yeah i got 8hrs of SOT back then, miui8 is pretty fast on battery drain, so can i have something on you guys? what version is good on battery backup?
I don't think there's a simple answer to your question. Everyone's use of the phone is different.
Playing games uses more battery than browsing or watching YouTube.
4G uses more battery than 3G.
3G uses more battery than WiFi.
Bad mobile signal uses more battery than good signal.
Setting the brightness higher uses more battery than setting it low.
Overclocking uses more battery than running at stock speed.
MIUI 8 uses more battery than MIUI 7.
So there is really no way to objectively compare SOT between users.
I never managed to empty the battery of my phone in one day, no matter what I was doing.
And as long as you come home in the evening and still have battery left, you shouldn't worry about other people's screen on times.
But do you even need to use MIUI? I have used both MIUI 7 and 8, for many months and I used to think that the user experience was pretty great till I installed an Android 7 rom here from XDA, Slim 7. Only then I understood what a great experience this phone can offer. I have been using Nitrogen OS for close to two months now, and not only does it have all the customization options I need, my phone is smooth as a flagship and I get 10-11 hours of screen on time regularly, with heavy use.
You could use a Marshmallow ROM if you really need a perfectly stable camera, but the camera works 9 out of 10 times anyway.
Custom ROMs are better in every way than MIUI.
Now im on miui7.5.30 battery back up is pretty good. I love aosp based rom but suddenly my fp breaks on NOs, dont know why, since then i get bootloop when i installed custom roms so i settled now in miui
I love aosp to but alarm dont work when turn off phone. And that is important to me.

Best Battery backup oreo rom for gaming

Hey guys , can anyone please tell me which is the best Oreo rom with most battery backup ,I usually play pubg but getting very poor battery life on nitrogen os ,please don't tell me to use kernel because they sucks
Custom Kernal suck ?? You must be living under a rock.
No because they don't give much difference as compared to stock kernel

None.
Check the replies here. Mostly all gamers recommend to go back to MIUI.

Downgrade to nitrogen os with the latest radon kernel
Yes!!!!, seriously i am a gamer and i use the latest version of nitrogen os with android 7.1.2, and with the latest version of radon kernel, seriously saying pls try this combination, heating issues less than stock miui rom, better battery backup(that was impressive), and to your information i play modern combat 5, which is a top end game, and i play it every time on free time, please give it a try, i play it continously for more than 30 min on daily basis. I actually flashed the radon kernel to test my new fast charger which i invested, and i sticked to this combination, it was excelent, but previous and older versions of radon kernel was just bull****, please give it a try, even on extended gaming there were no over heating, temperature remained 42 to 44 approx, sometimes 45, but dont play while charging, it can go 47. please give it a try and give your comments. PEACE OUT.......:good::good:
Can you please tell me the kernel version and to which profile you have set it ,also by the way can you please play pubg and reply
Radon kernel version 6.3, and default profiles only, balanced configuration, and other default profiles, I changed only the quick charging (2400 ma) , bcoz I flashed just for fast charging support(as I said earlier). I have not tried pubg ever but, modern combat 5 is a game which has new updates and no bugs fixes for smooth game plays, in stock ROM game was making the phone over heated and game was lagging, but I was no encountering these problems now, due to this only I founded that this combination was good, give it a try.

You should do compare and contrast on all available roms, that is stable enough to be used as daily driver. We all don't have the same usage in daily lives, we have different apps, which is depends on the user, different battery/performance mods, kernels, power management, etc. Just try LOS, Pixel Experience, etc. and record your power usage and compare it to all and you can determine yourself which one of them is good for you.
Btw. I'm using stock MIUI cuz I don't have problems installing custom kernel, battery mods, and other tweaks.
ROM has little to do in battery life (I agree, a few ROM specific features consume more battery like AOD). It's more Kernel related.
To my experience, stock miui ROM is always the best in terms of smoothness, fluidity and stability. If you feel the battery life is not that good, just grab a custom kernel and flash it through TWRP. You can also debloat useless System apps in order to have better RAM management.
I haven't tested everything, but stock kernel and stock ROM works the best for me. Most stable, best performance, smoothest, best battery(I get 10HRs of SOT). You should re-calibrate battery if you have been flashing many different ROMS.
Thanks guys i am on stock stable miui with sphinx kernel i am happy with it but i want to to try stock aosp that why i ask
For custom rom, you can try crdroid. For me so far thisbrom with default kernel has great battery backup. Manage to get 8h ++ sot starting from 90% battery. I will test more with next battery cycle. Normal usage social media, youtube and so far not try with pubg yet

What Rom has the best possible battery life? 2019

Hey guys, I'm looking for a rom that has the best possible battery life. Doesn't matter if it's slow or lacks some major features, even KitKat is fine. So what would be the best possible rom with just battery life in mind according to you?
I'm probably gonna go for dotOS. Is the battery life any good? Or is resurrection remix Oreo better?
Stock rom, based on MIUI 9 China rom. Idle drain overnight hardly 2-3 % for 3 year old Mi Pad. Only downside it's based on Kitkat.
But doesn't matter to me, as I use it for playing PUBG and watching YouTube and normal browsing.

Original KitKat Miui indeed has the best battery life and I would use it as well but you can't double tap to fast forward in Youtube with android 4.4 which is something I need...
Go for Lineage OS 14.1 by Artemka. Battery backup is good. Using it currently. LOS 15.1 has bad battery backup.
