[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] RaZoR747:
Camera performance is really great. The last one i used was Gcam 6.1 from the forum website. Photobooth wasnt working. Apart from that, night sight was okayish. Hevc videos were a charm and shutter speed , hdr+ enhanced processsing times were acceptable.

Now coming to pubg.. i was using pixys latest + f1xy latest. And i saw i could complete matches, frames dropped while i was acquiring chicken dinner. So i decided to try the most stable 8.1 rom to check whether i can get better results.

Currently im in latest LOS(agustin)+ moxie 6.1 with spectrum, and im shocked to see that i wasnt able to complete full matches becoz phone would shut down due to heat. I lowered my graphics a little but its the 60fps that is bugging me. Without 60fps game isnt fun ,i know u understand. So i underclocked the cpu to 1785/1225mhz(big/LITTLE), still to my dismay i am not satisfied. Phone will shut down before i can finish but frame drops are inconsistent(only positive)

To conclude, i believe i was getting much better stability with my pixys+f1xy compared to agustin+moxie. Ill switch to stock kernel in agustin and check again. Becoz i see there are cpu profiles inbuilt in the battery section of LOS

Hope i helped

Battery drain is not an issue as much as heating to shut phone down is. Battery consumption is not extreme, pretty manageable 20-30% drop in a full match in erangel

So what about zui 4.0.233 ST or suggest me a better rom for pubg and battery friendly.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] sharvanpn:
ZUI 4 is great u can try it
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Hrishabh006:
Try ZUI 4 (4.0.233) Deodexed. The best thing happened to my phone till now. Smooth UI. Looks good. PUBG not even stutters for me (At max graphics, Anti-aliasing on). I have a stable WiFi btw.

There are a few Chinese apps. Magisk is intalled so you can debloat like I did. Gcam does not work. I use Footej cam.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Haider**:
And facelock is just great.

And btw which Chinese apps are you talking about ???
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Hrishabh006:
Like Security, mail etc.

Also I loved the google cards. But you get some other thing now which shows Local (Chinese) news. Same with the weather app.

I don't use Facelock.

I have made the switch to Pixys OS 2.4

Feels better in most aspect over my previous setup of AEX 6 + Nameless.

I am with default Kernel and PubG is returning similar battery backup as like yours but I am playing under medium settings.

Thanks.

if you want to play PUBG smooth experience without lagging, 100% smooth in AOSP EXTENDED (AEX) rom, but problem is battery drain, each round has consume 20-25%
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] RaZoR747:
A new rom released few days back. Based on AOSP, Syberia Rom. I shall try that, the dev of that rom has given special attention to reduce battery consumption with pubg. So check that one out as well. Ill post a review of that with pubg after i install it.

Right now ,im really enjoying the LOS15.1(Agustin). Pubg works flawless, and battery consumption has reduced a tiny bit after spending some time on this Moxie kernel(3.18)

Btw, u shud try GFX tools, reduce graphics to bare minimum and play at 60fps(can save some battery) but heating can happen(becoz 60fps)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] vikkiklv:
Currently i am on bootleggers 3.0 which has a drain of nearly 20-25% per match and also occasional lags in close range(when enemies are near).

I tried pixys os pie and carbon rom oreo in which i loved performance but drain is 30% per match sometimes more SOT is also less so i shifted bootleggers again.

I think my phone has more drain than others any suggestion?:(
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] NaXal:
No your phone doesn't have more battery consumption than others. I am presently with Pixys OS 2.4 and my results are similar to yours. [MENTION=8273772]RaZoR747[/MENTION] too have reported similar with Pixys OS 2.4.

Stable WiFi and lesser screen brightness may give you little less consumption but more or less its around 40%-45% per hour with my Pixys OS 2.4 setup while playing before bed time with home 2.4GHz WiFi network.

The Xtended Rom-Oreo

PUBG is the only reason i am still on old(discontinued maybe?) Xtended-Oreo rom with default kernel+ updated Adreno drivers. I've tried some roms but from those none matches xtended in terms of performance & battery. I don't remember which roms i've tried, but some had, multi-touch issue while playing, some heated so much the game quit, some lagged pretty heavily. I haven't been able to find a better alternative. Thanks to OP for this post which discusses a PUBG specific rom, maybe i'll find my next rom here. Thanks again.:)

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Artap~:
Hi guys I have tried almost all 4.4 pie roms. My personal favorites are Siberia 2.1 and carbon. Syberia gives better battery. I play on medium graphics and high fps and manage 3 full 35 mins games in 100% charge but I have found no rom that charges while playing pubg. Even though charger is plugged in battery is discharging, so after playing 2-3 games I have to wait an hour and keep phone aside for charging. Any suggestions? Currently on carbon wit default kernel.

[MENTION=8102384]btuhin[/MENTION]

Z2 Plus lacks the thermal cooling compare to the most devices running SD8xx

On top, SD820 is known for its heating to begin with.

You really can't play PubG at highest settings under outdoor condition no matter which setup you have with Z2 Plus.

There are few sacrifice you are in need to do for playing.

1. Reduce PubG settings to much lower details.

2. Find a ROM known for better PubG performance but also with support for kernel like nameless which allows CPU/GPU O.C.

3. Use kernel editor to under clock your CPU & GPU. Like for example, down clock the CPU at 1.8GHz or such (refer to nameless thread for actual stable underclocking values

4. Use some thermal mods which supports your setup (above 3 points)

5. Avoid charging which playing.

Yes, quite a bit of work to find the right balance, but once you find the right setup with above pointers, you can have a decent PubG experience.

Actually, PubG laggs are more to the game over device. If you compare, when the game was launched, experience was much worse to now. Game is getting much optimised over time.

I would say try jaguar January 10 build for playing pubg ... Its way better to play pubg in indoor conditions temps also doesn't go above 44-46 © which is very good and battery life is also good ... Everyone should try that rom who wants to play pubg with smooth and high fps ...

1) play it in smooth graphic setting you may end up playing 2 matches on a stretch without much heating.

2) no. I haven't flashed anything else for this (though this rom have much smoother experience than other out here ) so even if heats a little bit it's ok for me.

3) try bubblewrap kernel (latest one ) if you want to . As for myself I am also thinking of trying it once

[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] tinnetju:
Every version that fits the following format: 8.x.x contains Oreo and has been equipped with this new patch or whatever, which seems to distinguish fake chinese/russian screens from official screens. It disables the touchscreen from the display and makes it completely unresponsive except for the 3 buttons (application, home and return) at the bottom of the phone.

Unfortunately it looks like the only solution at the moment is to flash the entire firmware of the phone to a lower version that doesn't contain traces of this patch. I used Clean_Nouga_V2.7 (A8 version) which works fine but any lower custom or stock firmware should work as well. Any 'fixes' out there I found are basically just telling you to do the same but with more vague steps.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] marard:
I have the same problem and mine too is a replacement LCD, not OEM.

In addition to the above error messages, I have:

1]MELFAS MMS438 Touchscreen initilization failed.

mms_ts: probe of 10-0048 failed with error -1

I agree this is an issue with the new update trying to install a particular driver for the touchscreen and the same not being compatible with the replacement screen we have installed.

Is there a way we can somehow load the old drivers?

And, I have a question, if I downgrade, will Samsung know that I did and will I lose warranty?

I am going to their service center and will check with them, but they will be uncooperative I am sure...
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] samuel.freitos:
You will NOT lose your warranty if downgrade to a official firmware, but you should asked their help before replacing that screen
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
The touchscreen drivers from the nougat firmware may work with the Oreo kernel and firmware.

Just need to be extracted from the stock firmware and repacked then flashed with odin.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] marard:
How do we do that?

I have about 3/4, 7.0 Stock firmwares that I downloaded from SamMobiles, but the phone refuses to flash any of them as I suppose the bootloader dosent allow it.

I get the following on the phone immediately when I click start in Odin:

KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:2, BINARY:1

So How do we repack the drivers from old ROM to new?

Appreciate all help...

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Looking at the firmware update it seems there's is no touchscreen firmware update image included, so the issue must be the kernel.

Also your device is telling you your kernel is revision 2, but the binary you are attempting to flash from the firmware is revision 1. You cannot downgrade so will not flash.

However this can be done with TWRP.

I will compare the Oreo and nougat sources to see what changed in the kernel source.

Do you know the manufacturer name of the replacement touchscreen?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers] marard:
Do you know the manufacturer name of the replacement touchscreen?[/QUOTE]

No, I dont...this was done by a local store in Singapore.

The logs on the phone mention a couple of lines about the touchscreen.

Shall I upload the logs?

Also, please instruct me how to extract the logs we see on the phone...the ones we see when we go into recovery mode.

The previous version of Android did not complain about the screen and Samsung's screen test app gave it an all clear.

What I gathered from the logs is, the system is probing the hardware for the manufacturer's name, failing which it doesn't initialize the touchscreen.(I could be wrong, this is an assumption reading the logs).

Thanks for your offer to help.
