Developing few themes I've found out what is one possible cause of the heavy lag (and with that I mean the phone gets unusable. Seconds without reactions) I can get since when I upgraded to Lollipop. In a simple word: themes.
That's 100% certified, I tested and retested it again. In more specific details at least in my case i discovered that if the Navigation bar button for exchanging keyboard isn't properly sized - and it will hardly be since the Sony Theme Creator is messy with those particular icons - the skinner may go banana.
There are other bugs as well (try to install the same theme over the current theme), but the one above is probably the most nasty. The obvious workaround is to apply a different theme (the plain, boring stock ones don't define any asset) and maybe reboot, but if you want to see a bit more in detail if something is wrong with your current theme do the following (requires root):
- Download the Theme Debugger
- Check the size of the keyboard button in the bottom right like in those picture (left is ok, right - which is a stock theme - is an example of things going wrong) :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Open Theme Debugger
- Click on the top left menu (3 dots) and choose "Restart System UI"
Now check the size of the keyboard button again. If it changes in size, like if it is too small or too big or if the landscape and portrait version do not match (they get stretched in one direction or the other) you most likely have the issue. Inform the theme developer (with a couple of screenshots) and on the meantime use a different theme. Oh, don't blame the developer, it's the skinner to be effed up.
I hope this helps!
or... You can discover that you have a crappy app called ROM ToolBox Pro which hasn't been updated in a year and with Lollipop it went banana and set the at boot the minfree values to a ridiculously low value. The ugly thing is that there is a sort of "bug" with the minfree in Lollipop (at least with the SnapDragon 400, the Moto G has the same issue), the file
Code:
/sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
is write only (permissions "--w--w----" instead of -rw-r---r--") so the app above couldn't read the minfree values but it did write them (discovered enabling the full log in SuperSU).
Still the thing about the themes partially applies. With low minfree values the skinner did crash in the situation mentioned. Also if one updates the active theme (as in installs a new version over it) after the reboot the theme has gone (but it shows as if it was selected). Hopefully we'll get an update fixing all these little annoying issues (plus the GPS and camera fixes, sure).
Can i set rwrr for minfree?

Sure, you can play with the minfree as much as you like. They are volatile files, they get recreated after each reboot (so if it gets stuck just restart the phone). Which also means that if you want to make any modification permanent you should add it in a /etc/init.d script.
Apparently I fixed once for all the lag that has been infesting my phone for months. Other than the couple of things I already mentioned (and yes, the wrong minfree was simply a nightmare), what made it more constantly fluid now has been the following: In settings do:
Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Store, Clear data and Clear cache
Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Services > Manage space, Clear all data and Clear cache
I used that as a suggestion for installing FaceBook returning error 504 (but I've found out that what really fixed the FB installation was to uninstall FB Messenger. What a piece of junk) and no, it isn't placebo effect, I waited few days to be sure. Also apparently the 787 Mhz went from a 50-50 with the 1190Mhz to a 70-30.
Oh well, I just thought could be useful to share!
Hi !
In Lollipop When the brightness is more than 25% phone starts lagging
When the phone is connected to a charger or computer is not Lag phone!
I got Repair Pc companion! But the phone's lag !
This problem can be solved???
It depends on what you define as lag at this point. If you followed this thread you see that it took me months to get a rid of the lag on my phone. Yet if after repairing the phone with PC Companion it's still lagging, either your phone is damaged or you're too much lag sensitive.

I am quite sure the ROM has nothing to do with it. Still I'm using the Custom IT version, which is the one of my phone.
But if after a repair with PC Companion, no apps, no data your phone really lags most likely you have an HW issue. Try to see if taking out the SIM and SD cards it still lags. If the phone really lags changing the brightness it may be damaged.
Then if your lag is just some nearly imperceptible micro stuttering.. deal with it. That can be normal.
I just tried to be on the phone while brightness is on 100%, and I must say it is lagging for me too.
It is not some brutal lag or idk, but it is noticeable.
Check the recording:
2016_01_24_15_30_00.mp4
As seen it is not something major, but it can be noticed lol.

The problem is that the video on my laptop lags by itself, it fries the CPU. I tried to watch it on PS3 and on my television and the codecs aren't recognized. You need a better screen recorder.
Still even with the lag induced by the player it didn't seem that bad, the apps were opening quite fast. Then it's an Xperia M2, we can't expect the performances of an Xperia Z5 (and let's forget an iPhone 6S ). Also you had to show the difference with brightness at zero to compare.
In any case, when I wrote heavy lag I meant that with the wrong minfree values I was waiting even a minute to open certain apps. That was absurd indeed. Fixed that I still had some lag, like when unlocking the screen. The sequence was jumping. Or the keyboard could take ages to load (it still does it sometimes, but not that bad). Clearing the Google Play Service data fixed that as well. But the micro stuttering when scrolling has been there since ever, KitKat included. No matter the brightness, at least on my phone. I just triple checked it now, maybe it's an optical effect. Being higher the brightness the lags gets more more evident, I don't know
Yeah, I am checking it again with brightness zero. Scrolling the home drawer's panels it micro stutters. I'm so used to it that I don't even consider it lag. Well, at least that's me.

Actually I have the same question. I've checked a bit around few days ago and in Google Play they are all getting not excellent reviews. At least the ones I've seen. Which is annoying becauseI've read the Z3 (and above, I suppose) has one made by Sony, integrated in the ROM (it was for KitKat, not sure if it went to Lollipop as well). So if you ever find a good one. please let me know.

Here check this out: https://youtu.be/j5WYd28rhi4
I installed the highest rated app "Telecine" and I must say I have never recorded a smoother video of my phone.
It was smoother than the actuall use xD
But it kinda lacks some features, like saving location etc.
Anyways here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jakewharton.telecine :good:
EDIT: After testing a few apps, I am thinking between AZ Screen Recorder (which I used before, and after enabling 60fps in settings recording is smooth as in Telecine) and Telecine.
AZ Screen Recorder is packed with all features, but I need to do some more testing. Here: https://youtu.be/64xyaASGO9M - This is a recording with default resolution and 60fps. It is smooth, really smooth.
And this is a recording in 720p, also 60fps: https://youtu.be/t_XS3ZZFZkE - Tell me if there is some difference, because I dont see it.
Altough, Telecine is simple as f***, it lacks some features.
So check those two of course.
@junk031 we are vastly off topic, but whatever...
So I checked the two video players. Telecine is quite limited and then it started crashing. I removed it immediately. AZ Recorder seems good. I liked the option to change the audio track. Too bad that it doesn't work. Unless it doesn't like my AAC format. But it did play it on the preview (just the audio).
Anyway, the most important thing is that I can play the recorded videos from my laptop without it frying. So I can do any editing from it. As I always do anyway, I hate to operate from the phone!!

Yeah the AZ Recorder is doing really nice, but something about that audio isnt right, when I was uploading on YouTube it said that the audio codec is not recognized idk.

The base is ee-19. This was not built on pick and pack or anything else. The rom may use piece of a code some where out of another rom or from some one. That I added to work. Everything in the rom was implemented by myself.

The following was taken in order of stock clock to 1300mhz. On Otb Reloaded 1.6. Govenor set to performance to keep cpu from scaling down and scheduler was the defualt. Benchmarks I am not going to argue over so don't bother waisting your time. Performance may also vary as I find either otb or voltage control to be weird at times. Also these are not peaks.
What was removed:
Bloat uscc apps, Some samsung useless memory hog apps, Touchwiz launcer, Stock dialer, Stock mms, Probably some other stuff that is minor,
What was addded:
Phoenix reloaded boot animation from my desire phoenix, 100 percent charge and discharge battery icons/mods, Go launcher, Go plug-ins, Go Contacts, Go Sms, Themed menus, Themed icons, Reboot options, Puzzle lock, Themed market. Blue themed gingerbread keyboard Miui Themed music player, Superuser, Esfile Explorer, Voltage control app, Updated apps that are on the market, Updated host so adds are blocked (No need to use any type of blocker), added malware fix and possibly forgetting something else.
Tweaks done not found in any other rom for the mes:
Entire rom was optimized. This means that rendering images will be quicker in the included apps, possibly gained battery life, and a smaller foot print to boot.
Apps that receive updates or stock apps people may not like that is still in the rom. Are moved to data on boot. This means no duplicates in system or data when the app would get a update. Also means some stock apps can be removed from manage applications.
Entire rom was zip aligned when built.
Added zipalign on boot to the data partition. Why only the data partition? Only it should need done since the rom was. Google zipalign to see what it really does.
Added memory tweaks.
Added ram tweaks so the rom wasn't so laggy. It also will allow multi-tasking a bit better. You will see the quickness once installed. Also by the above screen shots. This should help with battery life also. I play to much to document the truth or not so someone will have to see. There is also some other features I may be missing out on.
Install Instuctions:
Download the following file and place it on you sd-card:http://2fastroms.com/dm_eds/download.php?id=20
Will be under install instructions.
FIRST DISABLE LAG FIX and be on ee19.
Wipe/format data followed by format system. (Even though the updater-script does this. I still get issues not doing it. Then install zip > Phoenix-Reloaded-1.1.zip
Wait for install to finish and reboot. Reboot may take a min or two so don't freak out. Once booted proceed to the setup instructions.
Setup Instuctions:
First you need to setup go sms to work right since the stock was removed. Go to it and open it. Read the little messages if you want. Then hit menu when at the message screen. Go to settings>important tips>stock sms releated. Check mark stock sms uninstalled. Go back to settings and mms settings. Set maximum mms size to 1m (Max uscc allows).
Go back to settings and Send Settings. Check mark split large messages.
Go back to the home screen. Hit the contacts icons setting it to use default go contacts. Also dial *228 for good measure. I believe this is it.
Questions:
Help I am roaming or get poor service. Try to move from the spot you are if signal is low and perform a prl update using *228. If it doesn't work try a few times with better signal till the roaming indicator goes off. If it doesn't I am not to sure what to say.
Help my data keeps going dormant. Trying to access the web you get a prompt about your connection. Only way I found to fix it was to odin 2.1 checking repartition. Then update to ec-10 to ee-19. You might get away with doing ec-10. I have yet to find the real cause to it but this isn't the only rom affected.
Support:
Official support will be at my forum at the following link: http://www.2fastroms.com So if you have a problem and I don't answer on here right away please make a post on the forum. Where one of my staff will relay the message to me.
Credits:
Ante for the base on the market.
Fab for the gingerbread keyboard port.
Avreen & Nrosier for the style of the original Battery Icon.
The guys that designed the g4 icons.
Phidelt82 for the one jar file to enable puzzle lock.
Opps forgot a credit that I didn't mean to. Which was the creator of some of the blue icons and a few other pieces from the steel blue theme. I know Phidelta82 I believe did the port but unsure of the real maker at the moment. In which if someone kindly said who or they contacted me. I will add the said person.
Also for future reference before pulling something out of my rom to put in another one. At least ask first. Don't take it the wrong way as I don't mind to help or share anything. The other thing is it may not work or cause other issues depending on what is nabbed.
First!. Had to say it
Keep up the good work

Did you flash it or just first to post in the thread? lol Thanks either way. If you flashed it let me know how it goes. I missed the icons on the power menu but I will get them when I get done building aosp.
Nice Work
Hey i flashed it and it works well only thing i see is when i switched to OTB ver 1.3 the bootanimation has the android flashing in and out while the orig us cellular animation is still running. not a big deal thou.
also the media scanning icon in the status bar is sometimes themed and somtimes not. again not a big deal.
otherwise very nice work
Edit: i flashed this in CwM2.5 then put 3.0 back on so didnt think to ask if this was amend or edify script?
Awesome, its great to see more devs for the mesmerize. Welcome
My thoughts exactly. Looks like quality work too. May through this on and try it out next day or two when I get some time. Thanks to you and all the devs for making this phone rock.
Tap-a-Talked.
I flashed this last night, also running the tw1.3 kernel, could use a custom boot animation to fix the dueling boot animation, also the launcher still seems a little laggy but everything works and looks nice, would the ec10 no clock work with this? I may just give it a whirl and check later today seems like quality work. It worked fine flashing over pnp v.5 with just a cache and dalvik wipe.

The launcher isn't laggy if lagfix is enabled. Then go to adw settings > zoom effect > set it to around 400. Then screen pref's > desktop scrolling > set to around 225.
If you still get lag then it isn't a problem with the rom but the kernel my phone runs better on the stock kernel with no lag fix. With any of the kernels I get constant force closes and reboots. Along with lag out the rear. Not talking crap about the kernels but a few reasons why it happens is the scheduler sucks and so does the default govenor. Like right now I am running otb also where my phone hates it. On the stock voltage settings. I can even lower nearly every clock by 100mv's and my phone will run fine but still the same problems as not touching the voltages.
I recommend to ditch sio then use cfq or bfq as my phone seems to like those a little better. The other is conservative plain sucks for performance. It might be better for battery life but that is a debate for another day. On demand doesn't seem to be much better really. I plan to compile a kernel and see what I can do with it.
As for the boot animation I have a boot animation made. Just can't get it to work on the mes but work fine on the desire. Still have to look at that. The ec-10 no clock I am guessing removes the clock on the taskbar? If so it should be fine. I haven't looked at it as I prefer the clock where it is .
Can someone do me a favor and go to my forum website using the web browser? Does the web browser reboot when the pop up for tapatalk comes up or is it just me? All other web sites work fine that I tried but none have tapatalk I tried.
Edit: This also doesn't you a updater-script but your old plain update-script. So clockworkmod 2.5 is needed. Forgot to put that in the first post I converted it to updater where it installs but won't boot so I have to look at it when I get time.
Tried the no clock mod and it works fine, also tried the browser and I had no reboot of it at your site, though previously when I loaded the rom the wallpaper wasn't there when I loaded the no clock mod it was. Did some fooling around in voltage control 1300oc/25uv seems to have fixed the lag issue. Also changed scheduler to cfq.

Odd it does for me As I said my phone hates the kernels we have... The wallpaper should have loaded though as it does for me. As I put it as the default in the framework. I will have to look at it though.

Quad scores I can tell you in a few... As for the miui I honestly couldn't tell you as I had it for a bit. I just changed some of the colors. I think I got it on here out of a tab part of the forum.
I was actually looking to see if anyone had tried to port the file manager. Found a few ports of the music app. None worked on the girls desire. So kept trying to find on that would work right.
Edit: Just ran quad 6 times. Using I believe the kernel gas has in his rom as I haven't changed it since I flashed his rom to check out the lockscreens. My phone hates this kernel but with setcpu to set the governor to performance on the stock clock. Using cfq I pulled on the first run a 1510 then peaked at a 1598. I wouldn't expect what I did to show much in a bench but will affect image rendering when loading the apps I have installed.

1.Overheating
Improved quite a lot after the update but the issue is still here. I personally think that there is not a lot we can do through firmware updates with regards to the overheating issue other than underclocking and undervolting. So its basically hardware related as my battery performance is great.
2.Launcher redraw is almost gone but I still see it occasionally coupled with a black home screen and the homescreen wallpaper suddenly shows up. The weather widget also disappears sometimes.
3. Screen smearing issue.
To be honest, I think that this is fully hardware related and there is no fix for this issue other than the workaround that involves keeping the LEDs turned on even at black screen, like it was on the S3
4. Gallery lag when opening.
This seriously needs to be fixed. It is such a shame that the gallery app doesn't start instantly considering how even the older generation phones can do it easily.
5. Dialer lag (All famous)
6. Contact app lag
I doubt Samsung will ever fix this dialer and contact app lag. It is almost like they want the apps to lag. When these apps are not in ram, they take a lot of time to open up. Shame on Samsung! Adding features after features but still can't make your basic app to open smoothly. Even an iPhone 3G does better.
7. Ocassional Animation stutter when opening and closing apps.
Its not very noticeable now and happens a lot less frequently than before. Specially when the transition animation is set to 0.5. Maybe I am nitpicking but the issue is still there when you look for it.
Whoever gets any of these issues please keep confirming or adding any more issues I missed. All these issues are currently present in alot of brand new s4 units worldwide.
Sent from a poor GT-I9500 whose software doesn't do its hardware any justice.
1. It's just like any other high-end phone after MEA update. Nothing wrong with the heating.
2. Never seen launcher redraw, only seen the weather widget redraw.
3. Yes, it's hardware related. The screen isn't quick enough in turning on pixels.
4. Are you talking about the 1 second it takes the gallery to open? You prefer to see the picture loading when you in the gallery or wait a second? I prefer how it works now
Much better than the iPhone that sometimes even don't shows the pictures after a long time of waiting...
5. I kinda love it And seriously, once it's cached it's instant opened.
6. Same as 5.
You talk about iOS smooth? You probably never used WP8, it's NEVER lower than 60FPS.
7. Nope, not presented here.

1. It's just like any other high-end phone after MEA update. Nothing wrong with the heating.
2. Never seen launcher redraw, only seen the weather widget redraw.
3. Yes, it's hardware related. The screen isn't quick enough in turning on pixels.
4. Are you talking about the 1 second it takes the gallery to open? You prefer to see the picture loading when you in the gallery or wait a second? I prefer how it works now
Much better than the iPhone that sometimes even don't shows the pictures after a long time of waiting...

I found in the gallery there is a setting called "Tag Buddy". Turn this off, and it makes things even quicker. I agree with the above, all working good :good:

EDIT: We can mark this as resolved now, if that's a thing. I changed to Nova launcher and this thing screams now. Even faster than the Moto X. It seems TouchWiz just has longer animations. Thanks everyone for the input!
I received the Galaxy S6 Edge on Monday, and let me say that I love this phone. Build quality, camera, polish...everything. Except, it lags. I guess this is relative, as it is decently snappy, but it is not as quick as my Moto X or my two year old Nexus 5. Surely I am doing something wrong?
Nearly all the professional reviews praise the speed and say this phone is so fast it screams. Nearly all of the articles I have read and impressions I have read say this phone is lightning quick. All of this leads me to believe that perhaps I have a defective unit? I measure the speed not by swiping between screens, which I think is a silly way of measuring speed. I measure speed by doing something that I do many times daily, opening and closing a folder. My Moto X is not just faster, it is significantly faster. On to some amateur videos I made to show what I mean:
Galaxy S6 (shot with my Moto X):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKRdm94p5oM
As you can see, the phone lags when opening and closing a folder. Due to this lag, it constantly registers my touch on the chrome icon that I alternate to in between touches. I've noticed this behavior in many areas when using the phone, but this is the best way to show it.
Moto X (shot with my Galaxy S6):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOsLUuQ8B0
See how lightning quick the Moto X is? This is what I am used to and this is how my Nexus 5 behaves as well. Not a single time does the Moto X not register my touch quick enough or not open/close the folder quick enough.
When I read impressions and reviews that the GS6 is the fastest phone out there, I was expecting something faster than my Moto X and Nexus 5. After dropping nearly $1,000 switching phones, you can understand the slight frustration I have.
However, with so many reviews and so many impressions, I surely feel I am doing something wrong or I have a defective unit? Anybody else have this issue? Please help. I love this phone and if it can just be as quick as my Moto X, I will be all sorts of happy.
Some details if it helps:
- T-Mobile version
- Installed the OTA update as soon as I got it
- Have not tried factory reset (I set everything up, so kind of hoping I don't have to do this)
Thanks!
sorry but how many people open the folders like you !!!

Really, that's how you use your phone normally on a daily basis?
First of all, you should use the same launcher you are using in the Moto X, because it's pretty obvious that touchwiz has a different behaviour while opening and closing folders. For example, in touchwiz when you open a folder the screen gets darker and all the icons disappear whereas in the moto launcher they are still there.
I think it is related to the different animations they both use, why don't you try using Google Launcher or Nova?
different animations...the S6 animation take longer, this isnt lag at all....
You don't use the same Launcher, and animations are slower in TouchWiz, so when you do your retarded speed test you end up clicking on the white box from the previous folder that's still open...
If that tests defines what you want in a phone, just keep your Moto X and let us enjoy the goodies.

This isn't lag at all. Just different animations and transitions and their different speeds. One device is running stock Android with the Goolge Now Launcher, the other is running Touchwiz (or whatever its called now) and its launcher. Of course there will be differences.
Man, you guys/gals are a tough crowd. Sorry that I asked a question about my GS6 in a GS6 community.
As I said in my original post, I do not just experience this when I furiously switch folders, which is not something any normal person would do on a daily basis or ever, I just 'feel' the slight 'touch lag' as I'm using the phone on a daily basis. When I try to press two things in reasonably quick succession, it often doesn't register the second touch because I feel it is still processing the first...so I have to press it again. Sorry, it is hard to explain without experiencing the same sort of issue.
I just did that test because it kind of is the only way to show what I mean.
Anyhow, thanks for the help. I'll try a hard reset and if that doesn't work, I'll give TMo a call to get a replacement.

If you get a replacement, you will be wasting your time. The 2nd touch isn't registered because the transition animation has not completed. Use a different launcher or disable your transition animations and you will notice the problem goes away.

Hmm, so this is interesting. I set all three animations to zero, and the animation is still there even after a reboot. Looks like the animation setting only affects the opening and closing of apps. The folders and app drawer opening/closing still have the full animation.
My guess is that those animations are built into the Touchwiz launcher. You might have a better experience with Nova Launcher.
I setup my S6 with Nova Launcher and created folders like the ones you had on your homescreen on the Moto X. Not only does it match the speed switching between folders rapidly, it's noticeably faster on the S6. I'm really impressed so far.

Nova launcher (especially prime) should be just the thing that you need. As others have said, what you are experiencing isn't lag. You just need a launcher that allows you to control animation speeds since you seem to prefer a much faster animation than stock touchwiz. I use Nova launcher and it is lightning fast.
Hey, not a dumb post at all. I had the exact same feeling with my M7. I was like uh.. Why does my M7 feel faster than my S6. I eventually came to the conclusion that it's terrible ass material design lollipop garbage ( I hate 5.0 ) frou-frou animations . Then I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/galaxy-s6-tips-tricks-t3072036 . The below 3 steps have made a world of difference. I turned all those scales down to zero and disabled the double tap to launch cam. Made my UI experience way more satisfying. I don't know why Samsung/google would use such slow animations.
1B. Disable the double-tap quick launch in the camera options to get rid of the delay when pressing the home button. It's a neat feature, but makes the home button much more quicker. (Thanks to @B1aze)
13. Developer Options.. To enable this, go to Settings--->About Device--->Tap "Build Number" 10 times and you will unlock Developer Options!
14. Make your device a bit faster by going to Developer Options and setting window animation scale, transition animation scale & animator duration scale all to 0.5.
edit: I see you already tried the animations thing, so yeah maybe a different launcher for you. Try the camera thing though, will at least help the home speed

Thanks for the input!
I tried Nova launcher and Google Now launcher, and it's safe to say that we can end this thread. This thing is FAST!
I guess TouchWiz does indeed just have much slower animations. I tried both other launchers and settled with Nova. So many customization options. I set animations low and the phone screams now. Just what I wanted.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
All galaxy devices lag. My wifes s6 is slow compared to my 2 year old nexus 5.
Get ready for Android N!
In Android N, Android TV users can now watch a video in a pinned window in a corner of the screen when navigating within apps. Picture-in-picture (PIP) mode lets apps run a video activity in the pinned window while another activity continues in the background. The PIP window lets users multitask while using your app, which helps users be more productive.

Actually there's so little to review so far...
The beta installed over the air after opting in on the Android Beta program page. After that the update came to my Nexus right away, no need to flash anything, it does everything on its own in a very Apple-esque way.
With every boot there's a pop-up reminding you this is Android N beta deveolper thing and blablabla.
Nothing new on the interface whatsoever, and it's totally normal since the Leanback Launcher is the same that Marshmallow has. The settings menu doesn't show in full screen as in Android TV but occupies half the screen and the navigation is more ore less like in a phone, you have to scroll down instead of sideways. Nothing new on the settings app that I'm aware of.
Regarding what's new, I've only seen that an app-switching option shows up if the circle button is long pressed, and you can switch between recently opened applications just as it would be on any Android by pressing the square on the bottom right.
The apps I've used (Archos Video and YouTube) show a pop-up citing errors about libraries and dependencies not present for some reason, but so far that hasn't affected the usage of the app themselves. However there's an odd thing: The video plays "smoother" that it should, as if some kind of pixel interpolation was present. The very same apps with the very same video files, boot the looks are as if you were watching a soap opera. I think this is related to the Nexus Player itself, or it's decoding hardware. I think I've read something about that here, citing frame interpolation of some sort.
Any ways, not much to review yet. The update it's crude, not even half baked and so far there's no reason for anyone to use it because it contains nothing worth of leaving the stable MM. I have yet to see the Picture in Picture mode, but have no clue on how to enable it.
I'm not liking how long pressing the home button changed to recently opened apps.
It was nice being able to use long press in Marshmallow for HDMI-CEC functions (like turning my TV on and switching the TV input to the player).
I notice the Android TV remote app doesn't work yet with "N".
Well, i did the noobiest thing. so I flashed the image on my np because i wanted to try it with twrp recovery, because i wanted to try it, but it all worked fine, but i forgot to flash the supersu file as well, so i lost root, and it flashed the stock N recovery, even though i KNOW that i didnt flash that in recovery. Is there anyway that i can fix this w/o PC? e.g. a oneclickroot, or something? cause im only 14 and my brother puts viruses on the PC but they think that i do it since hes young and they say that he doesnt know how but he does.......... my email is [email protected]

I also did notice that the remote app is not working. N is pretty rough and I will be switching back today, maybe I'll try one of the custom 6.1 roms instead of rolling to stock MM
The frame interpolation/soap opera effect was present in marshmallow also. The setting to change it is "developer options : general : hdmi optimization" set to "best resolution" for normal, "best framerate" for interpolation.

How stable is Dev Preview 2? Anyone having any issues with it? The main thing I am wondering is if you are able to re-arrange apps on the home screen. That is the one thing I didn't like about stock marshmallow and is what has me on a custom rom. The only issue, the ROM isn't all that stable but I don't want to run stock for this one reason.

Hi,
I've noticed that some apps run very smooth, but others can lag for no reason.
For example Play Store. When you open Play Store and start scrolling to the bottom of the home screen (lets say 3-4 rows of apps per swipe down) it lags a lot. It's nowhere close to being smooth. Even when you're at the bottom so everything has loaded, it still isn't smooth when scrolling up and down using normal scroll speed.
Reddit is Fun is also an app that has lots of lag / stutters for me.
Does anyone else experience this?

Do you have a password manager such as LastPass installed? They can cause lag issues if you have the accessability option set to fill passwords in apps.

Well I can't really blame Play Store since it's a default app. If you don't experience such lag, it must have something to do with my device.

Thanks for your reply.
It's strange to me that the top of the line hardware can't even manage to make scrolling a default app like Play Store feel smooth. Even when viewing text comments within the Reddit is Fun app isn't always smooth. That's just scrolling text, not even loading images.
I guess I have to deal with it then. I expected more for this price range.
It's not the device. It's just poorly written apps. Compare for instance Facebook app and metal on older devices. They do the same thing but the experience is night and day. This a fairly new device so updates will come but playstore always stutters no matter the phone. It's been like that for years and I tried maaaaany devices
yes it has absolutely nothing to do with the hardware/device. like @mlodykaras said, it just poor coding.
Okay thanks for all your feedback guys!
Let's hope Google will learn how to write applications for Android correctly :silly:
Well to come back to this. The lag is just insane, there's no other way to put it. When I compare scrolling through the same text with my old Lenovo K3 Note, the U11 lags and stutters all the time while the Lenovo K3 Note doesn't stutter at all. That's just scrolling through text!
I've noticed that if you change the Interactive governor to Performance, the U11 doesn't lag anymore. But this isn't great for the CPU and for battery life of course.
Video 1 shows a 1080p 60fps Twitch stream. You can notice there are some spikes and overall it's close to the green line.
Video 2 shows the same 1080p 60fps Twitch stream. You can notice there are no spikes and overall it's not even close to the green line.
Video 3 shows the same comment thread in Reddit is Fun. I start by using the Performance governor and you can see me switch to the Interactive governor a little later. It's clear there are a ton of spikes using Interactive.
This really shouldn't be happening on such an expensive device.
I've even reverted back to stock using RUU, fresh install no restoring done. Same issues.
I have also noticed few apps other than play store. I am from India and some apps like BookMyShow & Inbox from Gmail stutters and there are always some frame drops. I tested BookMyShow in One plus 5, it runs very smoothly. Idk why it is like this and whether it'll be corrected or not.
My old debloated Galaxy S6 had smoother scrolling in apps in comparison with HTC10 and U11. HTC should adjust some kernel settings ot OS to fix this, it is very annoying. I really hope it will be fixed with Oreo update.

I don't think it would get fixed with oreo update as its not something that requires an overall new version of android.
Had it supposed to be changed, it would've changed by HTC in those 2-3 updates came out till now after the launch.
Problem with HTC is they do not take or even consider feedbacks unless there is some major major glitch.
For HTC this scrolling stutter and overblown of highlights and light sources in camera is just minor issues and they don't care about it.
On the other hand, there is google which takes every feedback seriously and tries to improve the Pixels on the software level as much as the software can.
