[Q] Why doesn't my N7 feel as fast and snappy on 4.2.1??????? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all I just purchased a new N7 16gb I updated it to 4.2.1 prior to making the purchase I did my research on here other forums including YouTube. And I'm not to happy with the outcome as far as the speed of the N7 others that I've seen out there as I mentioned seem faster and the videos I watched were stock N7`s running 4.2.1 I even did a quadrant test and scored a 3616 or so. I do understand that is a rough estimate but I was expecting a higher avg then that for a quad core T3. Any help or insight is appreciated

root it, install a custom kernel that allows for increased performance and faster cpu speeds(and other tweaks). if youre looking for increased performance out of the stock kernel, you wont find it. also, even with stock(rooted) you need to bench correctly. you want to set your cpu speeds as the highest speed for hi and low speed. that way it doesnt scale cpu speeds(if you let it scale, youre actually testing a lower speed since quadrant doesnt max out the nexus 7). disabling fsync also helps immensely.

take a little time, read around here. theres lots and lots of info. the process is actually very easy. it does appear intimidating at first, but the intimidation is all in the terminology. once you pick what everything means, itll be less intimidating. and once you go through the process the first time, youll be kicking yourself when you realize how easy it actually is. and dont fall into the root toolkit path. ot might appear easy, bit you will be worse off in the longer run. especially when itll come to upkeep or fixing issues. root toolkits prevent you from learning the right process, which could have harmful affects when it is time for maintenance.

The answer to your question is actually pretty simple. Just open the Google current app, go to menu (the 3 dots on the top right corner), go to Settings and untick the enable background sync, finally reboot your n7. I found the solution and applied it myself. I now have absolutely nothing to complain about my tablet

Hi!
What do you in fact disable when disabling background sync? Is it email notification and such? Because then it is not worth it I think.

You're preventing Google Currents from downloading new articles and whatnot while it's not the active app. If you, like 99.99999% of the world, don't use Currents, there's no reason not to disable it.

I agree.

Seeder entropy generator to provide significant lag reduction

I found this in Android Software and Hacking General selection (all credits to Lambgx02)
Lambgx02: "So, I was experiencing significant lag as we all do from time to time, and decided I was going to get to the bottom of it.
After tracing and debugging for hours, I discovered the source of 90% of Android's lag. In a word, entropy (or lack thereof).
Google's JVM, like Sun's, reads from /dev/random. For all random data. Yes, the /dev/random that uses a very limited entropy pool.
Random data is used for all kinds of stuff.. UUID generation, session keys, SSL.. when we run out of entropy, the process blocks. That manifests itself as lag. The process cannot continue until the kernel generates more high quality random data.
So, I cross-compiled rngd, and used it to feed /dev/urandom into /dev/random at 1 second intervals.
Result? I have never used an Android device this fast.
It is literally five times faster in many cases. Chrome, maps, and other heavy applications load in about 1/2 a second, and map tiles populate as fast as I can scroll. Task switching is instantaneous. You know how sometimes when you hit the home button, it takes 5-10 seconds for the home screen to repopulate? Yeah. Blocking on read of /dev/random. Problem solved. But don't take my word for it .. give it a shot!
Update!
I've built a very simple Android app that bundles the binary, and starts/stops the service (on boot if selected). I'll be adding more instrumentation, but for now, give it a shot! This APK does not modify /system in any way, so should be perfectly safe.
This is my first userspace Android app, so bear with me!
Note that this APK is actually compatible with all Android versions, and all (armel) devices. It's not at all specific to the Captivate Glide.
Caveats
There is a (theoretical) security risk, in that seeding /dev/random with /dev/urandom decreases the quality of the random data. In practice, the odds of this being cryptographically exploited are far lower than the odds of someone attacking the OS itself (a much simpler challenge).
This may adversely affect battery life, since it wakes every second. It does not hold a wakelock, so it shouldn't have a big impact, but let me know if you think it's causing problems. I can add a blocking read to the code so that it only executes while the screen is on. On the other hand, many of us attribute lag to lacking CPU power. Since this hack eliminates almost all lag, there is less of a need to overclock, potentially reducing battery consumption."
atomic339:
Download from here
Flash in recovery...it installs an init.d script to launch at boot, rngd and entropy_watch binaries amd also am extended menu by me....after flashing, just go into terminal and type:
-su (enter)
-seeder (enter)
(The apk from OP does not work for every phone, but this init.d method will work as long as your phone supports init.d...)
My opinion:
-my gallery pictures loading "instantly". wtf!
-browser loading faster
-Maps loading much faster
-settings menu scrolling smoothly.
Working great here

if you do it the APK way make sure to exit the app using the home button not the back button because pressing back will turn it off
So is this basically just holding a partial wakelock forever and therefore increasing performance and killing battery life? Do we really know what's being accomplished here?

Everything I have seen indicates that the smoothness is coming from the CPU being held out of sleep. My "proof" is a user of the original Note saying it fixed his home button wake lag. That ONLY disappears when the phone ain't sleeping...
I don't think there are any major performance gains to be had from the ACTUAL fix, maybe as a side effect of holding the CPU up - but you can adjust the governor to do that.

That's a pretty ridiculous solution.
Create a symbolic link for /dev/random pointing to /dev/urandom. Done.
So, as some one earlier said, this is just keeping our phones awake all the time right?
If so, thats bad, isnt it ?

exactly. just trading battery life for less stutter. or in our case, just killing our own batteries since the gn2 has pretty much no stutter anyways.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36274506&postcount=1014
Hmmm so it is almost same as lowering cpu up threshold. Hmmm for low end phones ofc there will be performance boost for note 2 no difference while we have good software+hardware
so i test it my self and i don't see any difference :silly::silly:
edit : dose the app need init.d support ?? i'm testing with stock kernel :banghead:

Anyone tried "Lagfix" that enables Trim for LG G2?

Guys,
Anyone tried this app on LG G2 D802?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en
This enables TRIM that supposed to come with Android 4.3 update and should help with Lag issues.
Some one tried?
can it harm the device?
Thanks!

I have bought the premium of this long ago, for my old/other devices.
Please read up on which kind of LAG it should help.
LG G2 is not lagging or rather when its lagging, its due to the throttling or something else.
TRIM won't help. Won't do anything for you. Kinda would like that the placebo effect goes away which some ppl experience on other devices. Not saying it might not help. But mostly it's really just placebo. Lets say 1 in 100 000 specific devices under specific circumstances it helps... and not LG G2 .
(Not yet)
Android is out for more years, lets say after 5 they introduce TRIM and now every device and every one needs it? Wanna tell me that every device was lagging the past years? < @op This was not for you, but for the defenders that will pop out saying that TRIM is the almighty savior of high end devices.
You do not need TRIM. (Again not yet)
I used it on my Nexus 7, prior to 4.3. Works good on some devices that have poor i/o over time. I doubt it makes a difference on the G2, we'll most likely have a 4.3 or higher rom with built in trim before you would see any issues with i/o lag.
I must say. Installed lagfix on g2, everything being indeed smoother and seems as much less sttutering and scroll lags.
well the fixes you seek are not really there, android itself laggs due to the way it is designed.

From my understanding of trim , you should still see a performance gain no matter what. This gain becomes more apparent as you use and fill your a device.

Are you referring to the lag and stuttering issue? I don't understand how trim wouldn't help a heavily used G2 on maintaining IO performance over time.

What I said and meant is that in 99 % cases TRIM is only a placebo.
And in case of LG G2 it's 99.99999% placebo.
Look 5 years phones were fine without TRIM. Now suddenly it's a magic cure?( For a problem that 99% of devices didn't have?)
Even Google knows it's not like that at all. If it was, don't worry there would be more advertising behind it.
Stop reading into the technical details of it. As I said not my first device. Bought the premium one long ago.
Real life usage different from paper.
When you could see some benefits of TRIM on LG G2 we will have Android 5.5

App requires a root, is there anything else we can try that does not require a root? If all else fail I will exchange the phone and I don't want to run into problem with a rooted device.
it's definitely faster. see the screenshots, the later one is obviously after applying the fix
running on rooted stock 4.2 on D802.

[FIX] SGS Touchscreen Booster - No more missing taps or touchscreen response delay

*If at all possible please donate to the person that created the application, you can pay via PayPal within the app*
No root required. I was able to install app from the Playstore, disregard that it mentions a Samsung phone. This website pretty much advises what settings to use and all.
Works in the meanwhile until an official fix is released for all of us G4 owners. Night and day difference.
You don't have to use the specific settings in the website, I've found some values myself that have worked well but it's a good starting point.
1.) Enable parameters
2.) Don't forget within the app to 'start service on boot'
3.) Reboot phone and enjoy a better phone experience

After setting the parameters and checking the enable on boot you must restart the phone.
If you still see no difference I would look into exchanging the unit

I tried all kinds of configurations, I notice no improvement.
I tried this app before and found no difference either. What did seem to help though (at least in my experience) was I just opted to do a full system reset, since then I have had no lag or missed touches or anything negative with my device.
I saw the title seen than seen there was no thanks to the OP... I won't even bother trying

How did you go about backing up app data (if you did). I'm kinda lost without Titanium Backup in my toolbox
Sent from my VS986 using xda premium
It might not work for everyone, unfortunately there are many that see threads like this and never post that it works.
I've done so myself once or twice in the past.
Can say for a fact that it's helped another user above and that's why I post in the 1st place.
All I can say about that is that some units may be too messed up to even fix, for them I would recommend swapping out for another device before the 14 day return is up. I noticed a huge difference in screen response taps and swipes.
I'll post my specific settings once I turn on my device, I installed my Skinomi Tech Glass today and want it to settle before I use it again.
.: Sent from an optimized 'ANDROID til I die' device :.
I'll be interested to see what settings you find to be optimal. I didn't change anything. I just started the app, set to start on boot, restarted my phone and the response is phenomenal.
I'm willing to tweak some but I'm liking it as is.

As far as backing up my app date, with US Cellular I have a stock bloat-app that allows me to back up stuff.
Only thing I may suggest for you is to get one of the Non-Root App2SD apps, install all your apps to the SD card and then reset the phone without having to touch your apps.
I tried this when it was first suggested by someone and didn't really notice any difference.
I was using it on 10a firmware and did notice an improvement.
Since updating to 10c, I don't use this app anymore, as I do not have any issues with missed taps.

I have heard others say this as well, I do not want to update though as I do not know what all is hidden within the update, and I do not want to risk blocking any exploits or anything like that.
I'm already rooted & unlocked as I have h815 GB version.
I flashed 10c from autoprime and runs nice.
Not sure if updating from lg will block any exploits?
Might be worth asking one of the devs??
This app has not been updated since 2012. Not sure if it works either, saw no difference with or without it. Placebo maybe?

Janky scrolling

Got my phone on Friday and got it all set up. Noticed on Saturday that my scrolling is stuttering; animations seem to be laggy, and overall the phone feels slightly sluggish.
Any ideas? My Nexus 6 is buttery smooth and that's what I was expecting with this phone too.
My experience in just two days of use is similar. Not nearly as smooth as my N6. Scrolling in Chrome is where I see the most..... jankyness

Just a basic trick is animations under dev option
Speed it up or turn off. Cause I have none of these issues. Are you rooted and using kernel apps. Maybe something you changed. I used kernel auditor and tried powersave but really bogged so went to on demand. No problems underclocked a couple of steps on cpu too.

Nope not rooted. Speeding up animations won't fix the stuttering, especially when scrolling. The phone feels like it's running in battery saving mode all the time. Same apps I have loaded on my Nexus 6.

I removed it and rebooted but the lag still exists. I'll try a hard reset and see if that fixes it
Scrolling performance for me has been noticeably worse than my ancient Galaxy S3, especially with Chrome, with only a small set of apps installed. No SD card is installed at this time. I'm chalking it up to having no ad blocking yet and the shear number of pixels being pushed but it's still a bummer.

Benchmark scores

I'm just curious if anyone has performed benchmarks recently? I never bothered, but was curious if my phone had slowed down at all in the 15 months I've used it without any wipes. It feels just as fast to me but sometimes things can slowly degrade and not be noticeable to us.
Anyways my benchmark scores basically all came out much higher than the scores reported for the OnePlus 5 when it was new. So I'm assuming maybe updates have done something to improve that? My phone is 100% stock and never even rooted.

Benchmarks aren't representative cause manufacturers can cheat like op did. If your real life performance decreases, a wipe of caches can be help in the first time otherwise a factory reset.
As I said I haven't noticed a performance drop but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't notice a big improvement if I wiped everything tomorrow and started fresh (which I don't want to because obviously it's a big hassle. Also I'm not sure that I am on the "OnePlus cheated" bandwagon if the device was running maxed out for games also (not just bench marks) than I can't personally see how it's cheating. But lots of people will disagree on that.
What I'm trying to see is if other phones are also scoring over 200k on AnTuTu on the latest software because that would make it seem like my phone is in line with others. If they're getting 220k on a fresh install than maybe my phone could benefit from a full wipe. Does that not at least make some sense?
I never ran a benchmark on it before but I'm getting 203k now and when it first came out others were getting 170k according to my Google search.

Bone stock. Out of the box. This phone cured my need to root and ROM. I still have a custom ROM on my HTC one m8 and flashed a different one today but that's just because it had a problem I was trying to fix, just like half the custom ROMs I ever ran.

So yours scored almost the same just slightly higher than mine did. Can you tell me what you're running and how long since it was installed? I'm guessing now they're going to be pretty close together and probably all getting higher scores than when new for whatever reason but I'm still curious.
