I owned a T705, it was my phone and tablet, i loved it.
However, the camera was bad, and the whole Interface was very jittery.
I understand that this device is not getting updates from Samsung, but man, i sure miss the screen real state, also beautiful.
Have lollipop custom roms reached a state where they improve over samsungs touchwiz performance?
I am considering it, alas i read that a new Tab S might be coming.
Thanks.
We have unofficial build of cm12 and its very stable. Way better than touchwiz too. Its still being worked on so its not perfect. CM11 is great on it also. Both do improve performance over touchwiz. There is also a new tab s coming soon but that always expected from samsung. Up to you

How is the battery life of the cm12?
This is what I got. I measured screen on times and standby times and this is what i got. This is from the T800 so you may get less because of lte and other stuff
Well, one of the problems if you own a T-705 is that under CM you will lose the phone features (CM 11 and 12 are for the T-700 only). I suggest that you try IronRom instead: definitely smoother than stock.
One rumor we heard is that the next generation flagship tablet will have a 4:3 screen ratio and a 64-bit processor, but it won't be coming until the end of year or late summer at the least. My preference is to have a 16:10 screen on my tab s.
I'd like a 4:3 personally since I do way more reading on my tablet than anything else. 16:10 is better for watching videos, but that's what I have my TV for
I don't have the money to upgrade so soon though
Thank you all for your Input.
My question is, with say, IronRom, is the performance improvement noticeable?
I found The Tab S beautiful, but very choppy overall, maybe the processor wasnt optimized for 2k, even with some custom ROMs (i used Selamba mostly back in the day) the performance of the UI was very below par, however, applications ran well enough, this led me to believe that it might have been touchwiz and not the hardware itself.
Thank you.

Iron rom is great. No lag in touchwiz and even with the stock touchwiz launcher, its all smooth. Battery life and performance is great on it too.

I wish there was a video on how it works on the user interface, i currently own a OnePlus one and have the chance to sell it, i miss the size of a tablet, but i dont want to regret getting it and find out the stutter is still there, there are rumors that it will be getting Lollipop soon too (Tab S), and maybe those optimizations will make the difference.
Thanks again.

I was planning to get the T-705 because i dont like carrying two devices around, thats the thing with CM11/12, they dont support calls, so id have to go with IronRom with is pretty much touchwiz, and while it may have optimizations, i dont expect miracles

Wait. WHAT??
No, they are updating it, but official updates stopped at 4.4.2, now we have news that they will update it to Lollipop, but after release, there was no continuous updates as with their other devices, and for some people, it was a good sign that samsung just abandoned the device, that's what i meant.

Come on guys, which part of the stock GUI or launcher is actually choppy? Where is the mythical lag? Haven't seen it myself.

The part where its choppy on stock firmware is just scrolling through the launcher. It lags when just scrolling through the launcher and switching between some apps (ex clash of clans). Iron rom has none of that. Sometimes the GUI lags when you have too many apps open and it uses all the ram. Example like 16 games open all at once. It can freeze and force a reboot. GUI doesnt lag that much like the launcher. Hope this helps!

I am not sure which part of scrolling through launcher is supposed to give lag. I have three screens worth of application icons in the app launcher and I had no problems with those. As for having 16 games open, I don't see how that represents typical usage.

Lol yeah. If your a typical user, 4-6 apps open or less, it can handle it. 16 apps open would be a user who stresses the cpu and gpu.
Well, in my experience there is some lag basically everywhere with the stock ROM, not only in the launcher. Loading pages and scrolling is also slightly choppy in any browser, and also in applications that use WebView components.
I wouldn't rate this as very evident, especially because the CPU has plenty of cores, but it is there.
With IronRom + SkyHigh kernel + Nova Launcher + things get smoothened just that small bit that makes everything feel right

My main problem with the 705 is the poor battery life. Does IronRom improve this?
Hey guys, I have been playing PUBG mobile for about 2 months now on stock, rooted OOS stable.
I have had the phone heating up after 1 game that it becomes uncomfortable to hold. I play with my case off to improve heat dissipation. I tried lowering clock speeds to about 1.8GHz to reduce heating, but it didn't help.
Also, I notice significant lag and frame drops in my third consecutive game, possibly due to thermal throttling. I never play when I am charging my phone.
Fellow PUBG players, what do you guys do? Do you use a different ROM/kernel? Do you adjust settings Within the game?
Thanks in advance.

I hate the thermal throttling that occurs on this phone. I used to use GFX Tool to reduce the graphics settings for PUBG in order to prevent it, but even that isn't working now. The phone heats up like it's been put inside an oven, and I need to take off my TPU case for it to not overheat and shut off. Even Redmi Note 3's don't heat up as much or get throttled like this phone does. Simply irritating.

my frnds 3 of there redmi note 3 heats way more than our one plus 3t. maybe you guys need to do a clean flash of OOS. pubg is a heavy game ofcourse it will make our phone heat alot bt its ok no shutdowns or over heating here. i am on nougat as oreo lags + overheats so i suggest you guys to downgrade to nougat OOS 4.5.1 if you want the best gaming and battery performance

Same story here. It's incredibly sad that a flagship $400 phone struggles to play a game at medium graphics when a $200 phone doesn't. Superbly embarrassing.

I've given up on it at this point. I've tried out completely stock OOS, stock Lineage, heavily modified Lineage/RR/Omni and yeah nothing seems to work. I'm just sick and tired of this phone just after a year of owning it. This sucks.
i play pubg on my op3t omnidragon rom
i use pub gfx+ tools it reduce lag
the phone gets hot and the game lag when I'm in a room that has a hot temperature and it's summer
can someone agree that downgrading to nougat is better for gaming?
Phones are not suitable for gaming. End of story.
None of my phones were able to keep going without throttling significantly.
It's down to basic physics.
Well, OnePlus 3T is not optimized for PUBG. Or let's PUBG didn't optimize the game for older devices. If your device has Snapdragon 835 or 845 PUBG will run smoothly. Or if you have 6xx series chipsets that was released in 2018 they would run smoothly too. TBH PUBG will be better in a tablet than a phone. Get tab S3 or S4 or even latest iPad which is a lot cheaper can handle game flawlessly. But OnePlus 3T has become a old man now.

This is what I don't understand, our chipset is just barely 2.5 years old, and it is a flagship chipset. Why then do they ignore optimizing for a flagship?
i dont understand why you guys are babbling on. just revert back to nougat and see the difference . pubg runs super smooth with no overheating in nougat. Oxygen os oreo is not all that well optimised thats why games lag inoxygen os oreo. revert back to nougat and you will again see the true potential of our device
I agree. I'm running Sultans Lineage OS by denser and it runs great.

Use mcd kernel.. I can play pubg without any lag and thermal throttling
When temp rises just decrease the fps... ?
How to get back nougat can any one send
Anybody who switched to STABLE OOS PIE 9.0.2 can you please share your results for pubg gaming? (try using PUB GFX TOOL from play store/ xda and set it to 720p, SMOOTH, 30FPS AMD VULKAN).
As the title says, my mix 2 lags and drops fps hard in heavy games like pubg, i tried game boost app from pocophone it helped a little bit and now it became useless. Phone doesnt get hot a lot, i try to play in smooth extreme fps but fps drops a lot, i think it is kernel related or due to miui. I have tried global stable and beta miui 10. It is just the only problem i have with the device. Are there any other kernel that is compatible with miui? Are there any good miui 10 based custom roms that performs good in games and gets better battery when on light use? I dont really want to change roms(aosp ones because i had 5t before and tried almost every single one. Im a guy who fell in love with miui since 2013-2014. Thats why i got mix 2 and i wasnt expecting that bad performance on the same snapdragon chipset. Like i have said its either rom or kernel issue.)
Im also open to suggestions. I have used several pubg graphics tools and the results i got are with those apps. It is even worse with default graphics options. Also i would change the kernel if possible with EAS as they perform better in balanced tasks.I own mix 2 for 3 days and im satisfied with it. But that performance issue really bugs me out. I could play the game at hdr with 60fps on my old 5t. It wouldnt get that hot. I can say the heat is the same i get with mix 2. Animation transitions are ok, i dont get any stuttering in any apps or in system, it happens with heavy games.
This thread can be a discussions thread of gaming in miui.

You can use a different kernel (like skizo or placeholder) or swich to AOSP roms and try NFS-injector (optimized for PUBG only).
Hello everyone,
I've upgraded from OnePlus 7 pro to Mi 11 ultra thinking about it's great specs but even with SD888 i can sense a lag in the game, it's unable to handle Pubg, game lags,
I've tried from smooth to UHD with extreme refresh rate, in OnePlus 7 pro with SD855 i was able to play HD with extreme refresh with no problem.
Anyone knows how to fix it? What is your review on gaming?

My experience in gaming Mobile legends is amazing, I keep going with UHD max graphics and performance and my device handle to beat at least 94% of others, imagine if I drop refresh rate and graphics a little bit.
a quick question, how many games and hours you played on pubg with the device?
for me, the first 2 times I played mobile legends the phone was overheating and device was lagging little bit. but after that, battery is way better, never over heats, and amazing performance. so basically, it is just learning the device power consumption.
in summary, be patient and it will be way better in a day or 2.
may I ask which rom version you doing? hope not .Eu!!
forgot to mention, everytime I factory reset device I face same issue. so it is a thing that you should not worry about. just machine learning.

If it was Eu, then all I said above does not apply to him. As the experience I shared was of stock rom. And I had bad experience with EU rom specially gaming and ram management. I totally agree with you that it never lags and sooooooo smooth, but other things are also important.
Thank you @hassanaliyeh , I'm on global miui 12.5.2.0 , I don't play games a lot, it was just for a hour. I'll try it again today.

No worries, you do not have any issues then, just give it a few hours and days.

I picked this phone up as secondary device/work phone. I've had it for about 6 months now, after spending some time trawling reviews, and I find myself dissapointed.
I have updated the firmware every time to see if issues are resolved, however I am still not 100% happy.
My main issues are as follows:
Battery life seems really random, even with very little running, especially for a 5000Mah battery.
Performance feels heavily capped
I feel like the hardware of this phone just isn't being properly utilised, or has been performanced capped (maybe to try and prevent taking market share from the company's higher end devices). My personal mobile is an Oppo Find X2 Pro, using a Snapdragon 865, and whilst some stuff is noticeably fast and as snappy as I'd expect from the Snapdragon 888 in this phone, other things just feel slow or stuttery. Perfect example is games. In many games, like Diablo Immortal, the older Find X2 Pro sits around 60FPS with few issues and reasonable settings.
If I try to run the same settings with this phone, I'm greeted with a much more variable 40-60 FPS, which no amount of tweaking the settings seems to fix. There is no way the Snapdragon 865 should be outperforming the 888, but it is. The underlying OS is very similar as Oppo and Realme are part of the same group, to the point they even use the same game toolkit, but despite all this and the better hardware, the Realme is outperformed by the older Find X2 Pro.
Am I the only one getting this experience?
it is a great phone but I agree to you at the most
For me the best problem is the Os .
The apps is free to do what they want without a capable phone manager to stop them.
I also have this phone since it came out, very disappointed! Bad battery, heating, low performance in most apps, camera colors, audio etc.

Can't believe no one is talking about this..
Got mine weeks ago with first release of Android 12 pre-installed (from October 2021). Performance was amazing, Diablo was buttery smooth even stupidly maxed-out. Did only one OTA update (still Android 12 after that), it killed performance from every games even at low settings, stutters was everywhere, even at 30FPS cap, unnaceptable. Then did OTA to Android 13, same even with factory reset. Was thinking of returning it at that point.
Then, tried to unlock bootloader to clean install the oldest Android 12 available from here. Games was again buttery smooth, but camera app was crashing and OS had weird glitchs, soo.. was stuck here, disapointed. Tried using the newest Adreno GPU Drivers with root, same garbage performance from games. Debloated the entire rom, same. What's strange is that benchmarks results like 3DMark doesn't show any degradation from good A12 to bad A12/A13.. was thinking it could be refresh rate related but even tweaking with SmartHertz didn't help.
I'm now on Pixel OS (available from the official website), performance is amazing, original GT2 camera app is pre-installed (quality is exactly the same as ColorOs), have unlimited space usage from Photos in original quality, and everything is working. You also don't need SmartHertz to get everything in 120Hz (like Brave), "adaptative" resfresh rate is working too (60/120Hz). Battery life, got 12H SOT on a three days basis with mostly browsing usage, some photos, little games, and basic power saver on, ended at 7%. Pretty happy now, it's surprisely good for a rom this early.
So yes, all of this crap is ColorOS related. Something got broken somewhere at the A12 2022 timeline.
They unfortunately halted (momentarily ?) their unlock server so..
@Lightning- , are you talking about pixelos from this site? https://pixelos.net/download/porsche
Can you also point to a tutorial on how to get back to stock after flashing pixelos?
Yes, this one. There is also LineageOS rom but it just keep bootlooping on my side for some reason.
Revert to stock : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/collection-of-ota-packages.4542941/post-88558929 + https://github.com/italorecife/OppoRealme-OFP-Flash
For me it is the battery life and the lack of modification to the rom

On Android 13 the CPU has been capped to 80°c which otherwise would be 95°c, this is done in order to reduce overheating, this increases battery backup however reduces performance by 10-20%, there is a magisk module I've made that unlocks this cap if you want I can send

What's strange is that benchmarks results like 3DMark doesn't show any degradation from good A12 to bad A12/A13.. was thinking it could be refresh rate related but even tweaking with SmartHertz didn't help.
I'm now on Pixel OS (available from the official website), performance is amazing, original GT2 camera app is pre-installed (quality is exactly the same as ColorOs), have unlimited space usage from Photos in original quality, and everything is working. You also don't need SmartHertz to get everything in 120Hz (like Brave), "adaptative" resfresh rate is working too (60/120Hz). Battery life, got 12H SOT on a three days basis with mostly browsing usage, some photos, little games, and basic power saver on, ended at 7%. Pretty happy now, it's surprisely good for a rom this early.
So yes, all of this crap is ColorOS related. Something got broken somewhere at the A12 2022 timeline.
They unfortunately halted (momentarily ?) their unlock server so..

Have you encountered any issues so far with pixel os, because I'm scared of changing the rom of the device.

I suggest you stay on Realme UI since it seems to be more stable than any other AOSP based rom rn, it has better battery backup and camera quality too, but the choice is yours

Almost three weeks with POS. I don't have any issue at all, better than stock, better battery life, no stability issue (no FC or randoms reboot), and camera is the exact same (tested with two GT2, one with POS and one with RUI 13 locked bootloader, there is ZERO difference in photos..). It has unlimited storage too with Google Photos at original quality (even with RAW), wich is a big plus by itself, no root required.
LineageOS is available too but it always bootloop on mine so can't test it.

Will I be able to return to RUI in the future if I install a custom rom? (And still get the updates). Also How did you unlock the bootloader. The deep test app doesn't seem to work.
