How to Bypass Samsung GOS & Xiaomi Game Turbo Throttling in DroidDeck with Package Spoofing

By DroidDeck Performance Team •

If you run PC games through DroidDeck on a Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi / Poco, or OnePlus smartphone, you may notice an irritating issue: after 5 to 10 minutes of smooth 60 FPS gameplay, framerates suddenly tank, micro-stutters appear, or the display locks itself to 60 Hz.

This is not caused by ARM64 Proton or Valve's Steam client. It is caused by OEM background throttling daemons:

  • Samsung GOS (Game Optimizing Service)

  • Xiaomi Game Turbo & Joyose

  • OnePlus / Realme HyperBoost (GPA Framework)
  • These daemons actively restrict CPU and GPU power limits on unfamiliar applications. Fortunately, by utilizing DroidDeck's PUBG Mobile spoof variant (com.tencent.ig), you can trick your phone's operating system into treating DroidDeck as a tier-1 competitive esports title, unlocking maximum sustained GPU clock frequencies and native 120Hz display refresh rates.

    Here is the complete, step-by-step configuration guide.

    1. Why the PUBG Mobile Spoof (com.tencent.ig) Works

    When you install a standard application, Android's OEM power manager inspects its package_name. Unrecognized apps like com.droiddeck.launcher are assigned low-priority thermal envelopes to keep phone temperatures under 40°C.

    However, smartphone manufacturers hardcode performance whitelists for massive esports franchises. The package name com.tencent.ig belongs to *PUBG Mobile*. When an application bearing this package launches:

  • Samsung Game Booster automatically engages its high-performance profile.

  • Xiaomi Game Turbo lifts GPU clock limiters and grants direct access to Adreno driver tuning.

  • Display Refresh Rate Governors allow full 120Hz or 144Hz panel output instead of forcing 60Hz.

    2. Step-by-Step Setup: Samsung Galaxy (One UI 5 / 6 / 7)

    Follow these steps to unlock maximum PC gaming performance on devices like the Galaxy S24 Ultra, S23+, Fold 5, or Galaxy Tab S9:

    Step 1: Install the PUBG Mobile Variant

  • Navigate to the DroidDeck Download Portal.
  • Under Select APK Package Variant, locate the PUBG Mobile Spoof card (com.tencent.ig).
  • Download and install the APK. (If you already have standard DroidDeck installed, Android will install this alongside it as an independent application).
  • Step 2: Enable "Alternate Game Performance Management"

    Samsung includes an internal bypass toggle that reduces GOS throttling:
  • Open the Gaming Hub (or Game Launcher) app on your Galaxy device.
  • Tap the More (three dots) menu in the bottom-right → Game Booster.
  • Scroll down and tap Labs.
  • Enable Alternate game performance management.
  • *(This shifts thermal trip points and prevents aggressive GPU clock downclocking when playing heavy titles).*

    Step 3: Configure 120Hz Refresh Rate for DroidDeck

  • While DroidDeck is running, swipe in from the navigation edge to reveal the Game Booster floating icon.
  • Tap Settings → Low refresh rate and ensure it is turned OFF.
  • Under Game Plugins (available via Samsung Galaxy Store), install Game Booster Plus and set the performance mode for *DroidDeck (PUBG)* to Max FPS.

    3. Step-by-Step Setup: Xiaomi, Redmi & Poco (HyperOS / MIUI)

    Xiaomi's *Joyose* daemon is notoriously aggressive, often dropping Adreno 740/750 clocks by 60% after 7 minutes. Here is how to configure Game Turbo:

    Step 1: Add DroidDeck to Game Turbo

  • Install the #0D1319] border border-white/10 font-mono text-xs text-droiddeck-cyan">com.tencent.ig variant from the [Download page.
  • Open Security app → scroll down to Game Turbo.
  • Tap the Add (+) icon in the top right.
  • Locate the newly installed DroidDeck app (it will appear under its package identifier or DroidDeck icon) and toggle it ON.
  • Step 2: Configure Custom GPU Parameters

    Because DroidDeck is recognized under the PUBG whitelist, Game Turbo unlocks advanced Adreno GPU controls:
  • In Game Turbo, select DroidDeck → open Custom Settings.
  • Frame Rate: Set to 120 FPS / Maximum.
  • Resolution: Set to Default (let DroidDeck's internal gamescope handle resolution scaling).
  • Anisotropic Filtering: Set to Application Default.
  • Touch Sensitivity & Aiming: Increase to maximum for lowest input latency on the virtual trackpad.

    4. Step-by-Step Setup: OnePlus, Realme & Oppo (OxygenOS / ColorOS)

    OnePlus uses the HyperBoost / Gaming Tools overlay:

  • Launch the com.tencent.ig variant of DroidDeck.
  • Swipe diagonally from the top-left or top-right screen corner to open the HyperBoost Gaming Tools sidebar.
  • Switch the Performance Mode from *Balanced* to Pro Gamer Mode (or *Championship Mode*).
  • Under Touch Optimization, set the touch polling rate to Ultra (1000 Hz) for ultra-responsive analog stick response.
  • In your Android System Display Settings, ensure Screen Refresh Rate is set to High (120 Hz).

    5. How to Verify Clock Retention with MangoHud

    To confirm that your phone's OEM game booster is actively keeping GPU clocks high without throttling:

  • In DroidDeck, press the physical Back button (or tap the on-screen Quick Access button) to open the Session Drawer.
  • Navigate to Display & Performance → toggle MangoHud Overlay to ON (Level 2 or Level 3).
  • Boot into your game (e.g. *Fallout: New Vegas* or *GTA V*).
  • Observe the GPU statistics in the top-left corner:
  • * Target Adreno 740 Clock: 680 MHz – 719 MHz sustained. * Target Adreno 750 Clock: 770 MHz – 903 MHz sustained. * Frametime graph: A completely flat horizontal line without periodic throttle dips.

    If your GPU clocks remain steady above 680 MHz beyond 20 minutes of continuous gameplay, your OEM bypass is functioning with 100% efficiency!

    6. Important Troubleshooting & Safety Tips

  • Remove Heavy Phone Cases: Package spoofing allows your processor to consume full sustained power (~8–12W). Ensure your phone can dissipate heat through its glass/aluminum frame.
  • Disable Android 12+ Phantom Process Killer: If DroidDeck shuts down without a crash log, you need to lift Android's background child process limit. Follow our Android 12 Phantom Process Fix Guide.
  • For Extreme Thermal Throttling: If your device still downclocks in ambient temperatures above 30°C (86°F), try the AnTuTu Benchmark Spoof Variant, which triggers even higher thermal thresholds.
