http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pbo-d62ivY&feature=player_embedded

You can download the APK from here - http://www.mediafire.com/?vdocx41t37rnn6y#1
Then, install it as a normal app, and you're done !
OPTIONAL - Press the THANKS button

Nice but a bit laggy

Seems OK here.
Not quite a quick as the older version but not "laggy" as posted above.

It is not faster, its bulky, blocky and all over the place. Scrolling is mega lame. I hate it because it totally sucketh! An easy uninstall takes you back to exactly the way you had it which is nice. No reboot needed even.

Those features are only available in the US at present.
Afraid I have to agree, it's fugly and slow. I hope I can refuse the update for as long as possible.

Well that sucks! But as for the new layout I quite like it.

It blows monkey chunks. Anyone who likes the new market doesn't ask for much.

The new market is nice, but well, it's slightly slower. Hopefully we'll get an official update soon. Till then, i'll put up with the lag.

I'm currently on CM7 ROM (ported by superkid). I installed the new market update and I experience frequent FC's. I uninstalled the market update and now it works perfectly. Anyone here experiencing the same problem?

I think it looks much better than the last version but it has very slow scrolling and takes too much time loading.

Yep it looks nice but to slow for my liking.

Great, thank you

Same, really slow on my side too.

Uninstall and go back to earlier version. Pray that the update is discretionary and not forced. I doubt it will be any faster and it surely won't get any prettier

Most Poetic Statement Ever. Lmfao
Sent from my phone, cos my pc is up the fritz.

Kitkat or L what do you prefer?

When I installed L first time on my Nexus 4 I loved it, it was epic, I had it since first day it was ported, then I bought nexus 5 and installed it ,and I noticed that kitkat has faster Ui. L has weird rule which it opens something u click after the material animation is done which makes phone look slow plus it's so annoying and on nexus 4 it was perfect because it wasn't as fast as nexus 5, weird, I think I'm going to stay on kitkat :/

Tried the L preview and I switched back to KK for some app issues. When the final images will get released I will switch back to L though.

kitkat for me. it runs all my apps, has better battery and no 'puke on the screen' weird colours.
also i agree with op about the weird feel the lollipop preview has

46k benchmark with Android Lollipop stock rom and ElementalX kernel @2.6Ghz very fast at least as Kitkat. Using as daily driver and love it. Will stay with the preview and the Stock rom waiting a MahdiRom version of Lollipop.

I know, app opening is fast and fluid but when you go through Ui like opening about phone in Settings it won't open it until animation is done.

I don't know what you saw. When I hit "About Phone" it opens right up. Maybe you had a bad install. Everything is super smooth for me.

Don't face this issue. Goto developer settings and put animations to 0,5x like me to have fastest animations

lol, 46K on antutu is very slow for 2.6ghz. my n5 sees 45k+ at stock speeds of 2265mhhz, on L or on kitkat that is kinda slow for 2.6ghz.

you always have an option of making the animations faster, or turning them off completely. again, that is your choice to make.

no. you can go into settings, developer options, and make the animations faster, or turn them off. if you dont see developer options, go to about phone, and tap on the build number like 3 or 4 times.

In developer options, you can turn all animations off. Its not the battery saver mode. But I still find it hard to believe you had animation issues with 5.0

No the issue is that phone won't do task until the animation is done which makes phone look slow, on kitkat as you click it whites a bar little bit and goes in immediately.

I still don't see that issue though. You are talking like the animation takes forever and opening apps is slow.

Can't wait for slimrom on lollipop, imagine that speed.

Now I prefer KitKat its fast and smooth, I was using lollipop but after 2 days on, the multitasking was really bad, everything was closing even the keyboard so I downgraded to KitKat and I don't any problem.

Same. Missing loads of features on KK slim but its worth it. Smoother and faster. I. Even getting used to.lighter backgrounds and I like the material tones.
Good ROM all in all and can only get better.

MX Player beta still don't support lastest L preview.
I use VLCPlayer instead.

Where is the Lollipop beta ?

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

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.
Like others say just change phones

+1 and I have a Nexus 7 running the latest Lollilop to compare

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.

Tasker. I can't use a phone without it.

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

I think that we should keep an eye out on the chinese forums.... It will show up there first for sure

Should I bother trying to speed up my s8+?

I bought this phone 2 days ago and I have to say it does have delays stutters and everything. the animations aren't smooth at all.
I was trying to see if anyone had any luck trying to make it faster.
my animations are on 0.5x and i have disabled a lot of packages but freaked out a bit about KNOX. should I disable that too? I'm not sure if it made much of a difference since it's slower but I did get a lot more battery life on my s7 edge after doing this!

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8-mods-remove-carrier-labels/amp/
install the PAS like a normal app. Reboot. Change animations to .2 or .1
Profit.

Thanks! but I think even 0.5x is a bit too slow already! I love animations as long as they're not running at 12fps

The lower the setting the faster the phone will feel. in my opinion. So. .1 or .2 will feel faster than the .5 that you're using

Nope nope nope. If you want butter, and want to blow your d*ck off, install the Unlocked Firmware. Removes bloat, and it is as smooth as my pixel was. I'm seriously in shock still

Yeah! even the annoying ghosting of theSamsung AMOLEDs is gone! unless I got min which Is only at late night!
What's funny is that the only reason this phone lags is Samsung's bloatware!
Can't they just ask us if we want the features at the beginning (First boot? like stock android or Samsung experience)

Hi there . Got the same problem . I got before iPhone 6s plus nexus 6 nexus 6p oneplus 3t and many more . When I pick up Samsung a8+ i don't have lag . I have low performance or slow os or I don't know how to define the point is my phone move so slow .I changed the animation . I got the unlocked version . I don't know how to debloat but I tried different thinks on my s8 to make it faster with no luck . I think the 7.0 is the problem. On 7.1.1 the speed improve a bit for sure . O hope they will fix it with a software update or something . Or xda guys manage to make lineage os or RESURECTION REMIX stable so we can get rid of lag .

It's not 7.0. it's the hundreds of bloat apps and services. Disabling hellos but to really deal with it you need to actually remove the apps from the device

Fixed. I just bought razer phone

scrolling fix

A lot of us have faced some blur or sort of scrolling irregularity on android P. It isn't very noticeable but exists. If u copy the following to root/system/build. prop, and reboot, you will notice some improvements. Actually im pretty sure it fixed it. Additionally, if anyone knows what the signal cheat i have in my screenshot does please let me know. Dunno if placebo effect but i have had better LTE all day since adding that. These are from the op6 latest P dev preview..

Is this basically the same thing as screen smoothness on Oreo-based custom ROM's (under settings>system) or would it further help with scrolling on Oreo? I haven't tried out P yet.

Dont know depends on if the feature is included inside the oreo source, i think it is just for the shakiness of scrolling in P and the google devs added this to correct it for the one plus 6 latest P preview.. make a backup and try.

I dunno if placebo but it does seem less janky to me. Thanks op!!

Is this to help the screen jittering or the sporadic lag spikes I'm getting on p?

Don't recommend that signal mod, it really wrecked my signal and gave me a qcom_rx wakelock. Could be my area or carrier though

Hmm would make sense that it is only helpful in areas where signal is weak. Where it is strong it could mess it up

Here's what the new messages app looks like in full material 2.. as much as i could get working my substratum screwed up the lines in between each contact. I think..Yes, this has nothing to do with anything but it has potential.
