[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] ctushar97:
I've been having this problem since the day PUBG released. Anyway, I've tried many ROMs and kernels with PUBG performance as the sole requirement. I've found that any custom ROM based on Oreo had serious battery drain issues. Only MIUI has acceptable battery on Oreo, but still unacceptable performance on PUBG. To overcome this issue I installed LOS 14.1 with MrMathematica's kernel. This is the only ROM and kernel combo I think is perfect for battery life, PUBG performance and overall stability. Can be used as daily driver definitely as well. This does give me better PUBG performance with less overheating than Oreo ROMs, but I wouldn't call it a major upgrade on the graphics front. I manage to get stable fps on smooth/medium settings for almost throughout the match. Overall fps stability and its duration is still much much better than MIUI Global. Hope this helps! :)

I also would like to point about the poor thermal management and throttling issue on Mi 5. Compared to a similar device (oneplus 3), the performance is worse on Mi5. My friend has a one plus 3 and Mi5 always feels inferior in PUBG to me.

Also, I wouldn't recommended using GFX Tool. I did see MAJOR improvement on using this, but that was short lived. Heating is the culprit here. Every time I used GFX Tool on the many different ROMs I tried, I invariably went back to using the stock game settings. Stable medium fps for longer is still better than high, fluctuating fps and overheating.

can u share me all the file needed sir? like los, kernel and anything. pm
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] whithyfang:
Mi 5 not that worse

actually mi 5 not that worse like u think, that make lag every where when playing PUBG its thermal trothling from ROM its self, many rom make mi 5 temp keep cooling while playing game and that make for some game that need more performance become lag ( choppy ) . im just use MIU MS rom and do little trick with replace 2 file thermal config on system/vendor/etc with custom thermal file that someone here build on xda ( u can search on this forum about cust thermal throttle mi 5 ). u will get no lag for playing pubg with hdr and extreme mode ...but if u dont care about batterylife and want to know truely performance about mi 5 u can install cosmic os ... that rom will show u truely performance when playing hard graphic games
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] andrei80:
I found that it's quite important not to charge the phone at the same time and to remove the cover if you have any so that the phone can cool down better.

Also, The new MIUI 9.6.x.x is not very good...go back to 9.5.x.x until they come up with a good stable Oreo MIUI. The weekly Oreo seems much better at this moment.

Yes,

It was my favorite to! I am so angry it is gone. Which by the way is not the only app I loved that is no longer in the app store or available! Totally not OK!
[Android Apps and Games] chooks007:
I wonder if it became abandonware cos after the few years I've had it as my 2nd most used browser I finally decided to pay for the pro update. :crying:

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.

[Android Apps and Games] sardonicus87:
Glad to see after all these years since it was abandoned, people still are praising it and asking about it.

I'm still using it right now on my Galaxy S5. And it mostly still works and still gets better HTML5 support scores than Chrome despite having been abandoned 100 years ago (I guess another testament to just how great Boat was that it's still 99% working, though I am stuck on Android 6.0).

I actually came here to see if anyone knew a legitimate alternative to Boat. At some point this year, I finally am going to have to get a new phone I think, and that means I can no longer get Boat, unless I can find a safe third-party hosted copy of the apk.

I tried several browsers so far, and not a single one even comes remotely close to Boat. The handful that have the option of having actual tabs, are all horribly implemented.

Dolphin, for example, in full screen with tabbed browsing is jittery and doesn't work right. For one, the full screen randomly breaks and shows the status bar. Then, rather than having a neat little button that disappears after a few seconds that you can tap once to bring back and tap to open the tab bar, you have to drag down from the top to get to the tabs, which are all too big, and the design is ugly and unclean, never mind that it's jumpy, you can't re-hide the tabs once revealed, it doesn't allow fullscreen keyboard override in landscape mode... (I could go on forever about how crap it, and others, are) Like, if Boat was Legos, then Dolphin is like a cheap knock-off of Mega Bloks (in terms of UI/looks and how buggy it is).

So far, not a single browser is, for me, a suitable replacement. I almost thought about trying to learn coding and revive it myself, but then I remember how I tried making an app before for personal use way back in the Android Gingerbread days and it took a year just to get the basics down and a working menu, and I ultimately abandoned the app I was trying to make at that time because I couldn't keep up with how rapidly everything kept changing.

I wish I was rich, I would pay someone to revive Boat, as well as revive the best soft keyboard ever that also is abandoned can't find anything that even comes close to as a replacement: Thumb Keyboard.

Can't find any equivalent alternative :(

If one of us finds a good enough alternative, please share
[Android Apps and Games] sardonicus87:
If anyone of skill can walk me through it, I can try to rip all the source code/apk from my phone, but I am not rooted so, I don't know how much I can get. I do have the last full/pro version and the pro version license.

Obviously we can't just steal Boat (but I dunno, since it is abandoned and all...), but we could just update the coding and maybe maybe a "Boat Revived" or something?

I heard they "for whatever reason" decided not to play with all of Googles rules, maybe about downloading restrictions, or possibly protocols that allow Googles monitoring.

I've noticed "for instance" when I hit the left view all button "I use Nava launcher" , the boat browser will not appear like all the other apps.

At any rate, I find it often does not render some html pages and I have to bounce to ff or chrome.

Without continued support, I'm. Looking for alternatives.

Chrome is fast enough but limited on many customization features.
[Android Apps and Games] sardonicus87:
Do you mean like the "active applications" button on Samsung devices? Yeah, I noticed as well. Sometimes I want to copy and paste stuff between the browser and a notepad and I can't just swap back, it often won't be in the recent apps thing, so I have to go back to my home screen then hit the browser again. Luckily it stays on whatever page and doesn't close when it does that.

There also was a print plugin for Boat that never worked for my printer, I always had to open whatever I wanted to print in Chrome so that I could share it to my print service plugin.

I still haven't found any alternatives that have the features I want. Like, Dolphin browser is super buggy for me and slow, and it's super ugly aesthetically. The one thing I most want in any browser, is traditional tabs in a tab bar. Dolphin does that, but that's also what's so buggy about it, but Dolphin's tab bar is also huge and gaudy.

It seems most of the browsers, regardless of what features they offer, prefer to do things in windows like Chrome, and I don't like that. Almost none of them offer tabs in a tab bar.

Unfortunately, there's literally nothing that's truly like Boat.

But for me, I haven't had any issues 99% of the time loading any pages in Boat. On a few occasions I have and had to switch to a different browser or use a desktop version backdoor since so many webpages ignore browser requests and force certain page views based on device (like, it ignores the browser setting to request desktop page because the page reads you're on a mobile phone).
[Android Apps and Games] wilsonhlacerda:
I used to love Boat till 2 or 3 years ago. Then I discovered Naked Browser (Pro is better, worth it).

Naked is ridiculous fast and tiny (make good use of webview). Does have tabs. Can customize menu/tabs/browse with gestures/taps that let it even better. The save webpage feature works nice. Beside other things.

Only downside (or not!) is simple (ugly? I don't think that way anymore...) user interface. Of the browser itself, not the web renderings obviously.

Naked is my default browser since then. Firefox Beta next one (due to extensions; does not use webview). Puffin for desktop browsing (not good for privacy, but the best/fast on desktop mode; render web on server side). Orfox when better privacy is demanded.

[Android Apps and Games] VeronikaV:
Yes, exactly. Unfortunatelly, on my backup phone Boat app does not work on fulscreen mode and it has some extra black bar on bottom. I am not able to fix it so I started using Me Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mebrowser.webapp&hl=en).

Honestly, I would choose Boat Browser in case if it will works correctly on my phone, but Me Browser is decent and I did not find anything better.
[Android Apps and Games] sardonicus87:
Well, crap. My phone finally bit the dust, had to get a new one. Motorola MotoZ3. Has Android 8.1.

Anyway, got Boat installed and now... can't use it how I want! The little pop up dot thing that gives you the ability to bring up the menu and tab bar is just gone. Everything else about it seems to work, but makes tab bar useless in fullscreen if I don't have that button! I got boat from the link on the previous page. Is that mission button because of a problem with Android 8.1 or with this particular model phone? Anyone know?

I tried these other browsers, I do NOT like any of them, not even close enough to what I want. Kind of pisses me off. Just like no phones anymore without a glass back.

I'm tired of having to settle and just deal. >:C

I still use boat now, works 99% of the time as one user said, only thing it's starting doing recently is breaking search images on duckduckgo ( the only reason I even realized the app was gone as I was super comfy with it for years ) and I'm really upset too. I'm still going to use it untill something too big to ignore breaks

[Android Apps and Games] bagery77:
Still using Boat many many years later on Note 8. Ended up here because I'm not happy with available themes. All I want is a black version of the default. Seems so simple.

Anyway would love for dev to make a comeback. He was so responsive. I had a few probs on my Note 4 but somehow we pushed through and it's practically still almost perfect. Rarely ever an issue.

I feel like I've tried almost everything and hate them all. Maxthon was a close contender back in the day but their bookmark management system was not up to par for my needs.

If dev is listening, this was simply The Best, hands down for me and my Android experience for so long. Always my first install. I just found my email where I bought the license key in 2012 and I had it a long while before that. It'll be real hard to let this go. And for now, I simply won't. It will have to break before I move on.

I can recommend Yuzu Browser app, I was using Boat Browser for years but it seems finally I found alternative browser app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=yuzu+browser
[Android Apps and Games] sardonicus87:
So far, on my Android 9 device, latest Boat is working mostly as it should.

The main things I noticed so far is:

• Does not persist when you leave the browser without closing it. Before, if I had a tab open, I could switch to another app, then switch back and all my tabs would still be open. Now, if I switch to another app and come back, everything that was open is gone.

• Does not show up in recent apps, but that was also an issue on my old phone with Android 6.0

• Open the bookmakrs or history, long press for the menu to delete or edit or anything else, the closer you are to the top of the list, the less the menu shows and you have to scroll the menu, instead of the menu shifting lower.

Boat Browser user here, too. Sad to see this abandoned, but you could see it coming. The developer had stopped updating this ages ago.

I have not been able to find a good replacement for this, and I've tried loads of alternatives. This is why Boat Browser was awesome:

- ALWAYS VISIBLE TABS (a must)

- Can customise volume keys to cycle through tabs

- Apart from the tab bar, NO other permanent side or bottom bars

- Restores last used tabs on restart

- Great bookmarks manager with home screen speed-dial thumbs

- Can reopen closed tabs

I'd like to find something that has these features.

[Android Apps and Games] sardonicus87:
That's why I came to this thread. Unfortunately, from what I can tell, no other browsers even come close to having what I want. I like my tabs hidden personally, but very few will do a tab bar which, for me, is an absolute must and means 95% of every recommendation is automatically disqualified.

ABSOLUTE MUST have for me: tab bar with optional full screen, and speed dialer.

Only one I could find that had that, was Dolphin and it was absolutely buggy as hell to the point of unusable in tabbed mode. Even then, I hate the implementation of full screen hidden tabs because you have to drag from the top to reveal, and when you do, they don't go back to hidden, and it's already a PITA to drag from the top for access because 9/10, the phone just pulls the phone's notification panel.

I love the little auto-hiding button that reveals the tabs when in full screen. Nobody else has that.

Simply put, there's absolutely no replacement or alternative for Boat for those who love those features.
[Android Apps and Games] Kameo:
Still using it on all my devices since i've never crossed a better one: multi-tabs, gestures, reopen closed tab, speed dial, several user agents, fast rendering and efficient.

Been using latest known version (8.7.8) with premium features, since it's been dropped by the user, i'm sharing it here for you guys to enjoy.

[Android Apps and Games] Lisali:
THANK YOU SO MUCH! That's brilliant. Works great. I had to go into the app settings and allow it to run full-screen so it would take up the whole screen. :good::good::good:

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Very interesting, thanks for the suggestion. LOADS of options - it's a bit overwhelming, to be honest. What specifically did you do to make it look and behave like Boat? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] dawabz94:
Hi,

see my current report below

- Theme (attached in zip file) : based on light theme, slight changes to have more easy on eye colors (close to Boat Browser Private mode with ICS theme) [using Yuzu Browser Theme Creator]

- Settings (attached in the zip file)

- Similar gestures that I had configured in Boat Browser (attached screenshot)

- Hide gesture trail

- Automatically goes full screen in landscape like in Boat Btowser

- do not show tabs (for additional space)

- Some other tuning I can't really remember

Been using for a while now, but

- Boat still *feels* faster/smoother

- When re-opening Yuzu after a while, several tabs (random) stay empty with no way to restore/refresh

Have not found yet a specific patern

Never happens with Boat

- Boat registers my gestures quicker and flawlessly

- Mouse pointer is a killer feature in yuzu :good: !

So currently, Boat still remains better to me

* except when opening a link from an app (from Feedly for example), hitting back wants to close Boat; should just close the tab and bring me back to where I was

* that's a little annoyance that forces me to use multitask but definitly not a deal breaker for me

To be continued

They're all so smooth, snappy and responsive fingerprint, unlike stock rom (or stock based roms), which can be laggy after using some days without rebooting, and good fingerprint but slow responding time.

I was wondering what would be the best settings to play PUBG without compromising too much in the graphics department.
