User Guide & Telemetry Setup
PulseFPS Setup Guide
Configure high-precision SurfaceFlinger frame pacing in under two minutes via Wireless ADB or Shizuku, keep background daemons alive across screen locks, and tailor your Overlay Studio HUD.
Wireless ADB (Android 11+, Zero PC Required)
- Connect your phone to an active Wi-Fi network (required by Android Wireless Debugging).
- Open Android Settings > Developer Options and toggle Wireless debugging ON.
- In PulseFPS Dashboard, tap the top-right engine chip, select Wireless ADB, and tap Start Wireless ADB Pairing.
- Open Developer Options > Wireless debugging > Pair device with pairing code, then type the 6-digit PIN into the PulseFPS pairing notification.
Prevent Background Drops
Universal Android Stability Checklist
Apply these recommended device settings from the in-app Optimization Guide so OEM power managers never kill your telemetry daemon mid-match:
- Default USB Configuration: Set to No data transfer (Charging only) in Developer Options so USB resets do not break ADB on screen lock.
- Disable ADB Authorization Timeout: Prevents automatic ADB revocation after inactivity.
- Disable Child Process Restrictions (Android 12+): Prevents the OS Phantom Process Killer from stopping the background telemetry daemon.
- Unrestricted Battery Usage: Set PulseFPS battery usage to Unrestricted (on Samsung One UI, add PulseFPS to Never sleeping apps).
- Lock App in Recent Apps: Pin PulseFPS in the multitasking switcher to shield it from memory sweeps.
Studio & Controls
Overlay Controls & Customizer Tips
- Mini Pill vs Expanded Pill: Keep Mini Pill ultra-minimal (FPS, Latency, Watts) during matches, and tap it anytime to open the Expanded Diagnostics Card with live frametime waveforms.
- Pure Locked Mode: Tap the Lock icon inside the Expanded Card to hide header and toolbar chrome while tightening card padding and enabling touch-passthrough.
- 24-Stat Color & Outline: Customize each stat badge color individually or apply a unified color, then pair with Stroke, Shadow, or Glow outlines for bright daylight scenes.
- Quick Settings Tile & Boot Start: Add the PulseFPS Quick Settings Tile to toggle the overlay from your notification shade without leaving a game.
