Slow Nexus 7

Hi I got my Nexus 7 on 29 sep. A few days ago I started using Apex Launcher as its a great alternative to the default launcher. Anyways, yesterday I was just getting some general lag on everything, I was wondering if it had anything to do with Apex, I use a custom drawer interface and I only have one page. I'm new to this forum and it would be great if you replied. Thanks, Charlie

I have to admit, I used to use Apex on my S2 and found it a bit laggy at times. I decided to remove it and then everything was fine. Can't prove it but removing it worked for me. I haven't used another Launcher on a device since.

Sorry, lost the xda app and thanks anyways, apex WAS great and has amazing potential but just crashes a lot

Need for speed most wanted

Hi guys
Quick question or two.
To people that have the above game ...how is it running on your service . do you have motion blur when on n2o water reflections on the road ?
Graphics on my phone are defo not on maximum
When I tried it on my galaxy nexus graphics were much better than this phone.
Any way of improving this damn thing ?

Mine are fine, try using a custom kernel like francos or faux's

That's what I have, no reflections , no motion blur .
In terms of different kernel... Don't want it. They usually make the phone slower in my opinion, last time I've tried Franco kernel scrolling was really bad.

But that will less up my touch sensitivity patch which I prefer over custom kernel

I have Matr1x kernel. Do not have an issue with the game at all. N4 graphics can't compete with my galaxy galaxy about 10.1

I went back to stock on my nexus and now I'm unable to install the game. In play store it says "incompatible with this device". Are you getting that?

Same happened to me, I read somewhere it is to do with a recent change to the game. I just restored with titanium and its fine.

Running stock and the game runs great. I even have 4x MSAA enabled in developer settings which makes the game appear noticeably sharper.

Lag

Hi
I'm experiencing small quantities of lag on my nexus. It's barely noticeable , but it tends to get irritating from time to time. Mainly it happens when I'm installing an app and simultaneously trying to scroll through the screens. It also tends to appear when scrolling between widgets, between text predictions an so forth. I've installed seeder and lagfix but they cannot solve the issue completely. For comparison I am not experiencing this on my Acer iconia a110, everything runs smoothly there. I read that the problem might be coming from the higher resolution display - 1280x800 as compared to the lower 1024x600 display on the acer but I'm not completely sure. Have any of you experienced that type of lag on your devices ? Please advice on what might be the solution.

I've been told if your force GPU rendering in the developer setting then that does away with almost all scrolling lag.

Flash smoothrom or super charge from. Stock sucks

Along with disabling Google currents and flashing motley kernel.

This pretty much explains it. I know this article is referring to ics but it aplies to any ROM

Now it just stays on the google logo and does nothing, furthermore it doesn't show as adb and it is not recognized as a device on my PC. Any ideas on how to unbrick it ?

Managed to unbrick it by flashing the "bricked" kernel and again the smoothrom

Quiet hours??

Today I read a post that talked about some app of quiet hours.
I my mind is not bad I remember that android had this on 4.0.4???? Am I wrong? Cause my nexus 4 on 4.2.2 doesn't have it.
Thanks

Not on stock. CM has had it since gingerbread though. Maybe even froyo.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

PA must have added it in because I have it and I'm running PA.

You could also use the app called - Battery Widget. It has the feature to set up quiet hours. You could also setup a tasker script for the same.

Thanks , mm yeah, I thought that was a stock option.
It would be nice google to add it.

Google just puts the bare minimum and if you want more. Do it yourself and install a app or flash a custom rom. That's the joy of having android, the possibilities of adding things yourself
I personally don't use profiles.

I actually had a similar problem last night and I'm using an older build of Xylon (March 11th), which I've been using for quite some time now. Any time I tried to open an app it forced closed. I had Pandora playing at the time this was going on (which isn't anything out of the ordinary). I rebooted and it solved my issues. This was the first time this had ever happened to me and I've been using this ROM for over a month now.
