Laggy apps - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, loving my new nexus as I'm sure most of you are.
I have however come across some apps that have really bad scrolling. Both of these apps did not have this issue on my note 2.
Amazon & Steam.
It puzzles me why this is because this phone tears through everything else I do.

Wait for them to be updated to be 4.4 compatible...I bet they work better then..

Jelly Bean Discussion Thread

This will be the One and Only thread about JB discussion. Anything JB goes here. Any other thread will be locked.
Cheers
Edit: No ETA
Awesome. Couple things I want to bring to the table.
1) @prbassplayer: Asking for an ETA should be fine, people want to know an ETA for something they're excited for. The release of ANYTHING (movies, games, etc) all have people wanting a release date.
2) How new does 4.1 actually seem? Code wise I mean; do devs need to change the hell out of the GNex ROM, or is just many small things that break when tried on our phone.
3) Finally high res contact pictures
4) My friend's running JB, and it's sick. Be excited for this.
5) I was hoping for integration of Gtalk, G+ messenger, SMS, Gvoice and all their other chat programs. The ideal of a unified messaging system for all their services + SMS is just too awesome. I'm actually a little unsure why thye haven't done this.
The release of Movies, games, etc usually mean money for the production side. Devs here do this for free (apart from donations). No ETA's. Its out when the devs feel its worth releasing.
Cheers
So soon cleaning thread. On Topic JB
Cheers
Guys, drop the eta debate please. Lets keep this a thread worth having. Flame and expectation free. It is not why its here. Moving on.....
What is the feature from jb that you are most excited to see? The previously mentioned hi def contact pictures is appealing to me, since I put individual contact shortcuts on my launcher home page. Hoping for the best on this. We have some great devs working on it.

For me the biggest thing is Project Butter

Google Now, Project Butter, and the notifications. I'm also glad they finally put in high res contacts.
Honestly, all I'm missing from Android now is a unified messaging service. They already have the potential, just need to implement it.
Also, I'm excited ಠ_ಠ will now be a native symbol between phones. ಠ_ಠ
Project butter, and notifications! High res contacts is cool but theres already an app that fixes that.. so they just making it built in finally. (as it should have already been)

The problem is Gmail contacts actually, when you wipe for a ROM it looses all the high res pics when syncing. So I'm actually not sure if this inclusion will help at all?
Also HUGE thing that people may have not noticed, watch the demo here. The program autocorrects itself for context. From know to though.
How big a change, in terms of coding and implementation, is JB? *Note, NOT asking for an ETA, Devs take as long as you want/need* I'm genuinely curious as it seems like a minor change compared to GB to ICS, so I'm not sure how that translates to kanging it for our phone.
I really like the stuff I'm seeing with Google Now. I love stuff like that. Butter is definitely a nice touch but honestly I never feel like my phone is lagging enough for it to bother me.
Can't wait for my Nexus 7 to get here so I can start playing with it!
Guys we are working on it ,seanz is working and I am as well Im sure between the both of us we will get it soon .

I really dont have any lag issues either, but it is because of Seanzscreams excellent Rom and the tweaks he has put in place. But, just imagine jb being that smooth from stock, and then our devs further improving on it. WOW! The possibilities are insane. I am pretty excited.

Farewell, i9003 forum

Hi there! Most of you probably don't know me, as I'm not a developer/contributor, nor someone who writes a lot.
I just wanted to thank you for these two years full of new roms, themes and kernels, wich made me busy for hours, but then made my life easier. Why am I saying this? Because tomorrow will come my new device, and I won't be using my Galaxy SCL as my main device anymore (gonna leave it on the bench, just in case hehe).
I wish you all the best, and maybe in the near future some of us will be sharing devices again (that would be great)!
So this shouldn't be a GoodBye, but a See You Next Time!
Cheers!

T H A N K Y O U ! ! ! ).:good:
what will be your new device then?
A nexus 4!
Well, it's not like it's the best phone in the world, but I'm happy with it.. I got it really cheap from a friend, a bargain! Thanks for asking cheers

I'm on it right now - it is bloody blazing fast for sure. I missed the PIE controls but just ended up using LMT on it so PSX is my new rom now
Only thing thats REALLY irritating me is that I cant download any large apps using play store. It goes till 100% on many downloads then just never finishes and crashes. Tried multiple times reinstalling even 3 different roms but all based on JSS. I think JSS is the prob

If the rom is that good, I'll try it out too haha!
Gonna give you feedback! Thanks for the advice
Well, after a few days trying it, I reverted to CM10.2! It's true PSX rom is faster than any other rom I installed, but it lacks things.
As I'm still amazed by the speed nexus 4 opens everything in stock rom, I prefer relaying on a rom which I know would do the thigs I want
Anyway, it's a GREAT rom!
Thanks for the advice, pal, cheers!

Yeah that is true, modification is pretty limited, even with Xposed Framework.
Is it just me or is there a real lack of different roms on the N4? Like on SL we have so many like S4 Rom, themed customized roms etc that look different from AOSP 4.3. All I see on Nexus 4 forums are AOSP based this and AOSP based that :/, theres like no themed roms, and this one cool transparent rom that was on 4.2 isnt going to be updated to 4.3 so I dunno. If you come across some cool roms for n4 give me a message

Mate 7 was released October 2014. Five Months to go for it's first birthday. Go get an HTC or a Sony. LOL

Well this beta will the first EVIDENCE of the existance of Lollipop for Mate 7...
oh my god this frustrating just release it now please.. I am desperate for some performance increase and better GUI speed...
It gets more and more frustrated, the frustrating has been freezed earlier cause I have been amazed by the big screen experience and good screen, but now when I am used to it I am more frustrated with the slow performance and multi tasking.. I know most people will not notice it but if you work fast and switch between apps fast constantly you get frustrated... Lollipop hopefully improve some things.
The people who do not demand better speed they just use their phone slow, and do not notice the lag.. the lag is for me noticeable.
I assume you already tried changing the power saving mode, considering the default one isn't optimized for performance...
Also lowering the animation scale in the developer options.
Hi guys,
I trust Huawei are sure that by May the new firmware release LP.

Stop being a spoiled brat. If you want lollipop now, change the phone.
My 2GB Mate 7 runs very well, why the need for lollipop so bad? I like flashing custom roms like the rest, but if everything works why mess.

Seriously, the stock ROM works very well. I'm a flash-addict and all, but root is really all that this phone needs. It doesnt bog down and and run like a champ.

Probably lollipop will be released after they announce the HW P8, most likely.

[GAME][4.0+] Draw me a Path

Hey guys, I just wanted to share with you my first android game and hopefully get some feedback.
I do, however, want to note that the game has some problems with sound on some phones with custom roms..
The game is called "Draw me a Path" and it's on google playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miguel.drawmeapath
It was tested on phones with 4.2", 4.5", 5", 5.5" and tablets with 7" and 10". I can't speak for the rest, so please bear that in mind.
Would love to hear what you guys think..
Thank you for your time.
Didn't work for me. I'm running on a Galaxy note 1 with CM13. I had the bug sound and when i tried to play the game wouldn't recognize any touch, but i could open the menu and everything else. Stylus didn't work either. :crying:

I was wondering if the game would run with Marshmallow, guess not..
I don't know if it's a problem with the newest version of Unity as it's been causing all sorts of problems with android devices or something else..
Thank you for trying it out tho! Really appreciate your time!

Seeing as you told me it was probably Android M, I installed it on my mum's samsung galaxy s2 running on CM12 right now.... And I have the sound bug again, but this time the game is working!! :victory:
If you are planning on translating this game on websites like ackuna or somewhere like that, tell me and I'll be glad to help you with the Spanish translation (i suppose you'll want to focus on the sound bug first, though ). The game is great, good job! Happy new year! :good:

Unity's apparently been having some issues with the newest version and android devices, as seen here http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/very-poor-performance-on-android-after-upgrading-to-unity-5.306572/, which causes my game to run very poorly on some devices, so I'm really glad to hear that

[Poll][Discussion] MIUI

Hello fellow XDAers,
I am waiting for MIUI 9 to drop so we can pull that into the kitchen and cook. I am going to attempt to work with the new system, I haven't ported anything after Jellybean. So with that, I wanted to see who was on-board to potentially want to try MIUI.
Two things; One - I am not saying I am for sure going to be successful, but I will try. 2; MIUI 9 release date is expected to be end of May or early June 2017.
Feel free to have a discussion of MIUI here, I will also use this thread for small updates in regards to MIUI.
--- Small Post Update ---
MIUI 9 ?
Here is a small list of features to potentially look out for in the new version of MIUI. This is a leap forward into Nougat from MIUI 8.
Multi-window support
Quick-reply from notifications
Optimised dose mode
RAM optimization
Improved data saver
Always-on VPN
Call screening feature
Dual space feature
Dual apps
I have honestly never once run a MIUI ROM. Im not quite the flashaholic i used to be (especially now, as finicky as the v20 seems to be), but i could be game for flashing it a few times to kick the tires, see how it rolls.
Am i to understand that it does not have a home screen/app drawer for stock launcher ala iOS? it does retain androids ability to change launchers?
Is there anything "must see" on MIUI? ...not so much eye candy·· I don't care about bling so much, im all about that utility.

Hello! We have all been there with the flashaholic syndrome. It's a fortunate disease ? the V20 is a unit that is quite more finicky than most, but surely not the worst.
Initially, this will be a project starting off with the 918 and working into other variants as I relearn Android and what the new systems look like. It is a launcher that emulates that of an iOS landscape. Yes, you still have all of the ability of changing launches, etc. Must "see" would be animations, style, small 'functionality' pieces like that of the battery bar rather than a battery icon and so on.
It's more or less a eye candy piece of OS rather than something slim, although it is still smaller than a factory image. More "bloated" than a aosp rom but still functions greatly under the right environment.

I have attempted MIUI 8 but there are too many differences in the framework(MM vs N) to patch correctly. I was going to patch 9 in once it releases but if you want it you can have it.
Last time I had miui is when i ported it to the skyrocket in the jellybean era. Would love to see it again. Back when porting ROMs was simple
