Samsungs Game Tuner was originally made for the S6 and Note 5 but it now supports the Note 4 and other devices. Without rooting to use nomone or xposed app settings and fiddling with dpi and resolution, you can lower games resolutions to achieve higher fps or save battery.
(FYI to those who disabled or removed galaxy app store) Requires Game Service from galaxy app store to run this app.

After trying the app I think it may need a DVFS disabler or some optimization because I was only able to get smoother game play on Modern Combat 5 online when drastically lowering resolution to extra low which looked very pixelated (Offline play was buttery smooth on the custom low resolution @ 60fps). Lowering the resolution to the medium setting for the Walking Dead Season 2 and Real Racing 3 resulted in seemingly less fps. I know Android's optimizations aren't the best but that seems backwards to me. Unfortunately there are no options to force anti aliasing. Go ahead and give it a try and let me know what you think and be sure to leave a comment on the Play store or Galaxy app store and maybe Samsung will notice more users (Note 4 in particular but seems apparent for all devices judging by the comments.) and help.

So far I tried it on Real Racing 3. It made little to no difference, lower settings just made the game worse. The only game it really made a difference on was on Rop. It was slow on my Note 4 and now on medium settings with 60fps it's very smooth. I have Sniper Fury installed on my phone also but it ran smooth before using Game Tuner so I didn't mess with the settings for that game.
Hello guys!
I'm trying to find out what to do to have a lag free gaming experience.
At least for CSR Racing 2. It is lagging so hard sometimes, even if it is on 720p, 1080p, 2K.
Any tips or tricks?
Get Game tuner from Google play or galaxy apps.

And lower the resolution? or what?
Sometimes it is running @60fps (15% of the time), but most of the time it sucks, lagging, lag spikes, 30fps, I don't get it why. Cause the game can run @60fps without problems. I still didn't find any solutions...
What graphics settings do you use?
Do you guys use gfx tool?
Custom kernels (with gpu/cpu overclock) help?
As i couldnt find the right settings.
Is sdm625 capable of playing the game at HD realistic, 1920*[email protected]

Put at default graphics it should work fine with minor lag. increase the graphics it starts to lag.
I keep everything at low, increasing it does not actually help. I am on stock ROM. I am happy with the performance, as long as i can keep killing few guys.
I keep it smooth with realistic & high from rates .. It works superfine with barely any frame drop.. Results are consistent .. U can try out mah settings
fact snapdragon 625 will still have lag when you playing games like pubg or mobile legends. snapdragon 800+ better than 625+ for games. but for social media, browsing i think no have different.

I am late in replying here. But that "fact" was very helpful as i had no idea that Snapdragon 8XX series existed. Shame on me.
I'm on lineage 15.1 with velocity kernel on performance mode (2.4hz cpu and 855hz gpu)with the ElementalX governer and play on balanced realistic.

There must have been misunderstanding on your side as we can't play hdr mode on non hdr device. Display must be hdr.
Will try hd and fps ultra. Thanks

That may be true. But you need hdr display to take advantage of hdr graphics.
And i have tried on hd graphics are little choppy

its the gpu man. the cpu is more than enough for it. if you are rooted, give a little boost for the gpu by overclocking but dont expect a miracle out of it.

Use gltools [its a paid app]
Fake gpu with andreno 540 template.
The results will amaze you.

I recommend low graphics and high fps.
I use GFXtool to set graphics to smooth + Ultra (60fps) frame rate. It's very playable and very smooth.
Using HD also works fine but the issue is with frame drops when there's a lot going on (frag grenades and specially smoke)
You can also set it to HDR but you'd need a phone with an HDR display for it to work.
Does anyone know of an app that lowers a game's resolution for better performance? I'm on lineage 15.1 and on stock I remember it had an option to but I need some kind of graphics tool for gaming.
you mean gltools? i dont see the point now since allot of game use Vulcan rendering

He is most likely talking about the built in LG game Battery Saver option that let you change the resolution from 2k to 1080p or 720p and had a few other options like frame rate and stuff
I don't know of any 3rd party "universal" apps that would let you do this unfortunately.
Hello everyone.
I have converted from Rog Phone 2 to Oneplus 8 Pro as the bottom port of my rog phone 2 got damaged and was giving hot temperature warning all the time. My model is IN2020. I am a gamer and I have noticed that as compared to rog phone 2 the touch is slow as I do not think it to be 240hz touch sampling rate at all. I play pubg at 90 fps using [email protected] and same display settings for COD Mobile but 60 fps. I can feel the slow touch response even while scrolling. I would like to know if someone has converted from gaming phone and having the same problem.
Thanks

As a gamer on pc and phones (emulators not the games you've mentioned) I play at 144hz and 200hz on a G-Sync Acer predator z35, but it's dependent on the game and if I can push those FPS, just because a screen is capable doesn't mean your CPU/GPU is.
I would recommend matching the game refresh rate.
You've got a 30fps overhead there PUBG and a 60fps overhead on cod.
Reduce the QHD to FHD, the difference is negligible.
If any of these games can actually run at 120hz then I'd recommend using 120hz, make sure game mode is on for these apps.
Make sure you are actually getting a locked 120fps not 90 or 60.
Remove any other motion smoothing for these apps, they won't help and will reduce input.

Well I have turned the display resolution to FHD+. The touch response is better now than QHD+.

Yep I found the same, that's input lag induced by the resolution though, not the touch display.
