    I m a PUBG mobile player, and I’m facing severe lag and heating issues while playing the game. So after rooting & flashing a ROM like one UI will help to improve performance of the device?

      In this case, you can try Pixel Experience ROM, It is stock Android ROM, which can perform better, compared with the Port ROM. Also it there is an official ROM available.
