Good morning, afternoon or evening, this will depend on the moment you are reading this.
About two months ago I get a LG G6 H870i and my previous device was a Zuk Z2, I really was disappointed with the LG G6 in performance, my Zuk was a monster in that and he looks like an ant ...
So, looking for solutions, I tried a lot of things and after a long study, I created this guide on how to increase LG G6 performance in games, I'll put the steps here and now, I hope you guys can enjoy a nice gaming experience after this guide. Note: This was tested in the mobile game PUBG and worked.
Step 1: Enable developer options.
(For this, go to> Phone> Software Information> Assembly Number. Click this at least 5 times quickly, this will enable developer access.)
Step 2: In the developer options, go to> Restrict background processes and select three processes.
Step 3: Select the option> Increase 4x MSAA.
Step 4: Select the option> Force GPU rendering.
Step 5: Go to the "Smallest Width" option and enter 444.
Step 6: Scale during animation 0.5x
Step 7: Animation transition scale 0.5x
Step 8: Window animation scale> Off.
This is the end of this guide, some of these settings I used to gain more fluidity and greater battery savings, they are good for games too eventually.
I can not forget to say that when your handset is turned off or unplugged and you turn it back on, the background process option will return to the factory default, so you should re-enable it when you play or want better device performance.
This is 100% safe and all the options in this guide can be returned to your default. I hope this helps you and had fun playing.
Editing: I am providing a video link with a game test with the settings in this guide.

well, limit background apps is the thing here...
adjust the dpi to 444 is like make you eyes cry almost for so small things will be, and this didnt improve nothing - belive me. i have mine set to 369 and its best dpi you can set for this device.
and, since you disable window animation, why dont disable all other scale animations and animation transitions?! its all good to be disabled and this will improve overall speed when navigate all around menus and things.
other than that Force GPU rendering and increase 4X MSAA is ok to turn on for gaming, but better disable Force GPU when you want better battery life since this will push GPU clock at max.

Well I like DPI 444, but this should work on other DPI numbers, I provide this number in my guidebook, because I did not want anyone trying, had different experiences from me, so I put everything exactly the way I use it.
The window animations are a bit strange if you disable them all, I'd rather leave at least, although it's just visual, I prefer them that way.
I got 7h of screen and 9h even with the GPU configured so, so I do not think consumption is all this...
But thanks for your comment!
I'm uploading a test video to YouTube with these settings in this guide.
Thanks for posting this. I have tried different settings myself. I did find that the device performs much better when the display width is close to screen DPI, with small to large font size.
Do check the boot animations and it's fluidity when you change the DPI of the screen and update if you can.
Cheers.
Step 3: Select the option> Increase 4x MSAA.
Why would this improve performance?
If anything it should do the opposite because it's supersampling

well, i must say i hae pretty much same SoT as you, with all animations off and MSAA disable/unchecked and Force GPU disabled too, must say Melina Kernel and a pretty good debloat (for people who are rooted) make this phone a huge deal.
Having mine since May last year and my first's SoT are around 6 and half to 8 hours, now with little changes here and there (debloat, build.prop changes, edit some xml to enable google services going doze too and melina kernel) well, have almost everyday 7 to 8.
well, i dont gaming, i just play Rendo 3D, but even with 50% brightness all time i can go like 3h Rendo, 2h Youtube and 2 hours of browse web and some 30/40 video call on whatsapp.
dont forgot to charge the phone when you have 20 to 30% and let it go out of battery once or twice per month, this will increase the life span of it.

Hi guys!
I've noticed recently a new power save get option in the power saving menu in settings called 'system power saving'.
I've never seen much point in using the specific power saving mode that you can set to kick in at x% because it doesn't seem to do anything I can't and don't do manually myself.
Does anyone know anything about this new setting? Turning it on i've noticed screen transitions are a little less smooth, but does this actually do anything useful?
Any ideas?
Many thanks!

I would be interested in finding out what this does as well.
I noticed that frame rates seemed lower in games, and the responsiveness is a little slower (not considerably, though).
Is there a list of what it actually does?
I've notice that my phone uses less battery in this mode that without it.

Well, I would hope so...
I do know that it does NOT disable background data (I still receive push emails with both Exchange and Gmail)
Camera and Auto-flash are still enabled.
Everything that typically gets turned off in order to save battery is still on as far as I can tell...
We know it saves battery... but how?
If we find out how, then our developers could probably leverage that information when making new ROMs.
I would just like to know if anything is being disabled that I don't want disabled... but I don't know what I don't know
It lowers the CPU clock frequency, in my SGSII, scrolling desktops is not smooth at all with this option ON I've never been patient enough to test this option for a long time
when i activate powersaving it doesnt seem to make a difference

Seriously?
I have mine overclocked to 1.6 GHz and the conservative governor and I have not noticed the time-in-state data to be changing from what it was without this option set.
You were right about the clock speed.
system power save does the following:
Restricts core speed (mine was capped at 800)
Lowers brightness
Changes UI frame rate
Warning: Created with Swype
I made a lot of experiments trying to squeeze most of my LG G2 battery & RAM, and finally I reached those results by the below strategy (please note that this will be just strategy/tips, not detailed steps), and on ROOTED STOCK ROM It currently gives me:
Average Screen Off Discharging Speed 0.3-0.5%\hour (so battery needs 200 hours to discharge, or more than a week!)
Average Screen On Discharging Speed Between 10%-20%\hour (no Gaming) (so working hours about 8-7 hours)
Free RAM after full startup 65%.
(I gathered those statistics by setting Tasker to calculate them for me).
Battery Tips:
So to see almost a perfectly horizontal line of your battery discharge during your sleeping, you will need:
Rooted Stock ROM (I tried this on KitKat latest version).
Greenify.
Tasker
Your brain)) and some work.
OK to get most of the battery, do the following:
Remove all LG & Google Bloat ware; search XDA how to do that.
Disable all animations in you Settings-> Accessibility, this will save our battery and make apps faster.
Now all of the work should be done in Tasker, I assume that you already know how to work in this thing, if not search XDA there is a lot of tutorials...
Once your screen is off, do the following in Tasker:
Turn off the following : WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS, Auto Sync.
Greenify all bad behaving apps, after that use tasker to force close many of the bad behaved one (you should experiment with this).
Down Clock your CPU, for some reason my device reboots unless I set Governor to conservative or onDeman, so here we put it on conservative, with CPU clock between 300 and 652 MHz, there is no need to make it lower, because it gives no better battery life, and it makes wake up time longer.
Those steps are enough to make sure that you will lose about 0.5% per hour only! (my CPU needs about 5-10 minutes to enter deepsleep, this means that your battery drain during this time will more than 0.5%)
On screen ON, you need to immediately set back your CPU to onDemand mode, otherwise it will lag, actually I made 3 profiles for CPU, low (during screen of), medium (when screen on), and high (during gaming), so here I set the OnDemand with frequency 300-1190 MHz, and you will not notice any lag with those settings, also you need to set the maximum priority for the Tasker profile that will do this, well actually I made my own Lock Screen by Tasker screen so that tasker will stay foreground app and has best CPU priority, so swapping CPU profiles will be quite fast and you will see no Lag.
Also I set a periodic sync, when screen off each hour my phone wake ups and turning on wifi (or 3G if I’m out) and turning on AutoSync for couple minutes, and then turn all those things again to enter DeepSleep (step 1).
you need to make a good Screen brightness management in Tasker, there is tutorials on line for that.
Finally, during working, I set many specialized profiles for different apps I use a lot, for example, you don't need AutoSync when you are talking by phone, or reading a book, also when reading books, you don't need high CPU frequency, so I lowering it down, all this tweaks needs some work, but anyway you it will give you considerable battery gain, and you will see that the application that you really using a lot are not more than 10 apps.
I would like to note that I tried many ways to optimize this (except trying different ROMs) like playing with application's wake locks, but nothing worked as good as this strategy for me, if you have some more suggestions it will be great.
RAM Tips:
Many of us trying to make our phones customized and more beautiful, but after a lot of tries I found that all those things only making things worse, even for a monster like LG G2: I tried almost 99% of Launchers available on store, and all of them are very bad in scene of resource usage, for example the most beloved Go Launcher, having 200+ apps, and 3 pages of widgets, uses about 150 Mb. of RAM, this is too much, considering that android itself using about 200Mb. in worst scenarios, even the launchers that claims to be very efficient like Lightning & ssLauncher, that is not true, because once you install them, they indeed use too little at the beginning, but once you customize them and will add widgets, objects to them, they will jump up to 100Mb., well this still is better anyway than Go Launcher.
So to be short, the best one in terms of memory usage, is definitely, and without any competition, is Smart Launcher, it seems that it has a unique possibility to draw/load the widgets on demand (you can add them on special pages) and once you go back to main screen, it will free up used memory in minutes, that's really great, because this launcher on average uses only 50Mb. whatever the widgets you use!!
Also I would like to note that most Lock screens are very memory hungry, I tried lot of them, and none of them used less than 40Mb.!! so it almost like a second launcher! even the best of them like widget Locker or C-Locker! that why I made my own by Tasker itself, but note that after designing a scene in Tasker, it will use a lot of memory (70-80Mb.), and for some reason doesn’t free it unless you restart Tasker, and fortunately after that it will use not more than 20-30Mb. even when the scene is visible! so considering other things Tasker is doing, it's pretty low! so I highly recommend this.
Also any programs like recent app's viewers, side bars, screen buttons etc.. are also very memory hungry, I tried a lot and none of them really efficient, don't dream to get one with less of 50Mb. usage! so it's better, in my tests, "on screen buttons" are the best one with about 10-15 Mb. usage in case you don't like the navigation bar as me))
Well those tips allowed me to have very long battery usage, and about 50-60% free RAM, and without animations, makes my phone LG G2 fast like a Hell even with lots of apps installed, hope this was helpful.
Cheers!
Wow...
Nice Tips...could you mind to share your tasker lockscreen?? =)
If you switch off WiFi/data, you loose connectivity..isn't that the point of a phone anyways? Say somebody sent you a message on WhatsApp, you might get it only after 1 hr under your profile, the whole point of the message is lost ..guess that is too heavy a cost to pay for battery..but people are different, so somebody else might have different priorities

I can but it will be useless for you because I have a lot of tasks that works like functions and depends each on other... I can explain the main Idea how to make it if you would like...

Not KitKat..wrote that by mistake..:silly:
ohk
it looks good
There doesn't seem to be any bug report thread on English forum, only other languages so thought it would be a good idea to post this.
Here is some bugs I've noticed, mainly related to performance.
-When you open notifications and switch to toggles, the animation is not smooth first time.
-The transition effects except default seem laggy, especially windmill. Not like this on my other Honor phone with significantly less powerful cpu.
-When you scroll to end/top of page, such as in play store or phone settings, then tap on something right away, the tap is not registered. You must wait until 'end of scroll' animation completes. Not like this on other phones I've tried.
- In balanced power mode, opening some apps such as phone dialer or browser causes the brightness to drop. Kind of annoying. The power modes should only affect the cpu.
Storage space lost after update from b100 to b121 bug.
I updated my phone before using it and storage space dropped from around 9.8gb to 9.1gb.
Space seemed to have been taken up by apps according to the storage info, but no additional apps were installed. Must be a bug where after the update, the app optimization made the phone think previously installed apps were installed again.
A power mode should only affect the cpu? Why? Its job is to save power so doing it in other ways to just cpu throttling is perfectly logical.

That's how the power mode worked before in EMU, and the brightness transition is glitchy and unsightly. It also mentions nothing about brightness changes in description, just cpu adjustments.
Most people like to set their own brightness, having it lower when you open the browser/dialer is just annoying and pointless. You can easily change brightness yourself but not how the cpu scales.
Why there is no rom yet that is able to update itself without entering recovery.
A rom that only needs a reboot to aply the update.
Could a rom not check for commits and replace changed files by it self and ask gently for reboot and do this maybe even by itself by time set by the user.
A rom where you can change whatever you like.
My idea is that there should be a cm rom where you can mod anything by longpressibg on it. Since alot roms come with customizations you might not need.
Imagine longpressing on audiofx option in settings and choose between cm audio fx/ viper/ dolby .... And even combine. Longpressing on performance settings and choose even an app you prefere. Totaly customize the whole settings interface by longpressing on any option and replacing such with options from other custom roms such as pac/rr/aicp/... Mixing them however we like, adding options to settings by toggling a settings icon in setrings menu. Sharing the settingsinterface with people all around the world by simply uploading a backup file created in the settings menu.
Any modification/update could be downloaded as a patch and removed again if you want to go back to stock version without a trace. Without being bloat.
Imagine the phone automaticaly uninstalling unimportant system apps such as calculator or stock music player when those are not used but allways ready to use (such apps would be shown in a separed app drawer and be reinstalled when the user tapps on its icon) and the app being backed up on a folder chosen by the user.
Imagine the stock launcher uninstalls itself when you dont use it but keeps a backup and restores itself when you uninstall your custom launcher.
We would only enter twrp for backups/flashing modems/ bootloaders and kernels.
More rom ideas:
Ram usage/cpu usage of each app shown in recents
Recents order by ramusage/cpu usage
A launcher where you can add screens aound the homescreen and not only left or right of it.
Imagine a invisible fps counter that comes with a kernel tuner that automaticly changes cpu/gpu freq to generate desired fps that you choose. And allot devs told me that is impossible and i think thats stupid because even gltools is able to save the fps as a log and apps are able to read logs so... It is basicly the holy grail idea since it could set cpu gpu so low when you are not gaming. If you leave an intense game It would detect that there is sudden fps increase and throttle cpu down. You could also modify the behaviour of this feature by setting how it should behave at a higher fps on lower cpu scales. For example automaticly limiting max fps to 20 and whike gaming 40.
For amoled screens an app that doesnt only simulate a filter by adding pixles to save battery but also having the function of turning the screen light off by reproducing a black picture on the screen withing fractions of a second and removing it again. This could also interact with the fps settings since it would adapt to the fps of the content. It would also recreat a smoother experience by showing that blackscreen between each frame (the frames would look less lasting because the blackscreen shortens its apearence)
A boot animation that looks like the first bootscreen is part of the animation.
Sound notification when wifi gets critical.
Cpu/heat or ram indicator as led light with pulserate indicating its speed and colour indicating how much cores are in use or how much ram is used combined with cpu indication.
Adaptive amoled backlight keeping energy usage of the screen allways constant. Darker contet brighter but instantly and precise in its function.
Share your rom ideas please
Thanks
