Here I will share my simple configuration that let me play PUBG Mobile at 60 FPS in a low spec PC. Let’s see how to fix lag in PUBG Mobile on Phoenix OS.

I don’t use emulator to play PUBG Mobile and also you should not use emulators if you don’t have high spec PC like Intel Core i7-7700K, GTX 1080 Ti and more than 8 GB of RAM. Actually with this configuration you can PUBG PC smoothly. So what should you use to play PUBG Mobile in a PC? The answer is Android OS in a PC.

PUBG Mobile doesn’t work in 32 bit Android OS (Phoenix OS). You need a 64 bit PC and 64 bit (x86_x64) Phoenix OS.

Make an Internet connection. Open Magisk Manager and complete “additional setup”. Install NFS Injector Magisk Module and reboot. Give 5 minutes to load NFS after first reboot. Open file manager (FX is preinstalled in ROC versions) and go to /system/data/NFS/ and edit with text editor : governor.txt – ondemand, mode.txt – 2 , scheduler.txt – deadline. Then restart the system. If you have SSD then noop may be better than deadline. [REF][GUIDE]Most up to date guide on CPU governors, I/O schedulers and more!

It is up to you how you want to set up your PC. More guide about these are available in [MODULE][NFS-INJECTOR] [Forcefulness/Energy Aware][ARCHER][V6.5]. Never update this module from Magisk. It is modded version for Phoenix OS only.

Install GFX Tool from play store. And apply graphics as you wish. Mine setup is smooth, 60 fps, colorful, no lightning effect, save controls enabled.

If GFX Tool force stops when selecting PUBG version or applying settings reinstall GFX Tool. Only try with PUBG closed.

TL;DR

To optimize Phoenix OS more you need to install NFS Injector and set I/O scheduler to deadline. Deadline premises low latency. If you have SSD then noop may be better. Then you need GFX Tool to set PUBG graphics as your wish. If GFX Tool is force closing reinstall it.
