Nope coz I dun play games...

I played GTA San Andreas on mid settings, set resolution to 72% and turned on the screen and GPU saver on power management ( which cuts down performance by 25% ) for an hour. The gameplay is smooth ( slight dipping in framerate when lots of car and mayhem on screen but not so bad that it's unplayable ) and heating is noticeable but not so bad.

Gotta note that sometimes the touch screen can be sort of unresponsive when typing, I have to turn the screen off and on again for it to work properly. Maybe it's a firmware problem so I'm not so sure. Charging is slow and WiFi connection problem also occur to my unit ( check it on gsmarena and quite a lot of people having the same problem after updating the OS - Lenovo removed the update and is working to fix it ) - But bros here say that they don't have the problem after updating it.

This phone may look like it's a high spec phone but really treat it as above average mid-ranged phone when you're gaming on it. It is on mid-ranged phone's price to begin with

vibeui and row rom don't have the shortcut to this battery usage screen. use this app instead: Battery Usage Shortcut

anyone installed xposed? it works?

With 5.0 ROMs, yes and i managed to use Gravitybox and some other modules.

With 5.1 ROMs, no. Tried v68, 69 & 70. All will get bootloop. Sometimes can get into OS but phone will auto reboot after 1 min or so.

guess I will stay on 5.0 once got the phone later on.. ..xposed kinda like a drug for me dy

yeah, i have that feeling too. contemplating reverting back to 5.0.

AOSP 5.1 Lemonade have xposed pre installed and working fine. Currently on this rom. No tap to wake and no led notification. But it is lag free and no significant bug.

Limonchelo rom seems to be bugs free - highly recommended. I had never faced all those issues reported to date on stock, India roms etc

TQ you

did anyone notice any difference between switching on or off the screen n gpu power saver?

How about +6 numbers ? Can recognize ?

I've noticed that it reduces quite a significant of battery drain. Without it switched on, playing half an hour YouTube content drains around 10% whereas by switching it on, it drains around 5 to 6% (using data not WiFi, screen brightness is set on auto, Dolby atmos on, loud speaker set to around 70%, battery saver on) performance wise I don't feel any differences. It plays GTA San Andreas on mid setting smoothly.

Also it won't heat up as much.

I watch YouTube a lot so I get a sense of how much the battery drains.
