TouchWiz (Note4) is smooth, but apps lag - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is an interesting thing I found in my Exynos powered Note 4. The OS itself is fine, there is no lag in opening apps or navigating through TouchWiz. However if you open any apps that use fancy animations, they lag like there's no tomorrow! For example open the Google Play Newsstand app and you'll see that the app is heavy on animations, and they're all extremely laggy. The same goes for the Facebook Groups app. Is this a KitKat thing that will be resolved in the Lollipop update?

Should be. Because all new-style apps uses new CS-styles. And KitKat doesn't have good optimisation for it. But Lollipop does.

Fix Google Chrome lag??

Anyone here experiencing lags with Google's Chrome browser for android?t with the new update its even worse
The scrolling is stuttering so bad . why no stock Browser on Nexus 4??????????
Why dam Google Developers cant fix Google Chrome lag
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999303 if you can
There is no solution. Chrome is a **** browser even on the desktop. It lags and freezes on every website if you have a big monitor like 2560x1440 and above. It's a joke next to IE10's scrolling performance.
Either install and use the stock browser or a smoother browser engine like Opera's.
I was so glad when they put the man in charge of android chrome in charge of the whole android OS... Project Stutter

Android 5 lag

Just wondered if anyone else is experiencing lag on android 5 on the grouper nexus 7? Some apps fine then some apps like google + and Facebook start to load and just force close after a delay.
Is there anything I can do?
Running stock ROM
Thanks in advance
I'm having the same issue as well with some apps and just overall lag. Apps will probably be fixed once developers for the apps update to support Lollipop and work out the bugs.
Thanks TheSocialGuy.
Since back on Kit Kat, I realised Facebook bogged down my tablet.
So, unfortunate as it is, I just don't use Facebook on my Nexus 7 any more.

I also stopped using the Facebook app and switched to a webview app instead. Works pretty smoothly on the N7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-facebook-browser-t2864561
I noticed Facebook was the issue as well. I couldn't even use any app that used FB. Even Friendcaster rendered my N7 unusable.
I am also experiencing a lag with almost everything since installing Android 5. Start up is much slower but power down is now very quick.

Thanks for your concern...
So there's no way I can use Chrome without that lag and freeze? I think it's because of Javascript and it's trying to run like Chrome in PC...
Did you delete your stock browser using root apps like System app remover(Root), and installe AOSP 4.4.2?
I read the method and the first one to install is like Providerproxy.apk @ system folder and G530H don't have that APK...
Did you install it directly? what is that Providerproxy.apk for, anyways?
I just use titanium, remove all the bloatware and Google stuff with it, the default Samsung browser and then install the aosp 4.4.2 browser like a normal apk, that is all I did, don't have my favorite page and sincro with pc, but I prefer this way.

Lag on recent apps

Hi everybody, since I am on lollipop, there is this annoying lag when opening recent apps. I think everybody has this. In my case it takes between 3 to 5 secs until it opens. I can't stand that.
I already have chainfire s recent app installed but that doesn't work in my case.
My question is, if somebody has a fix or can give me a link to another Rom where the recent apps opens fast?
Help would be appreciated!
Regards

So you say that you never had a lag on lollipop, when opening recent apps?
That's strange!
Am I the only person with this problem?

Never, I tested it last night by opening about 15 apps, then hitting the home button after opening each one, so they all ended up as recent apps - then once back on the home screen, I hit the recent apps button and in under half a second it opened fine, nice smooth scrolling between them
The only thing that takes a bit longer to open for me, is the gallery, which is about 1-2 seconds opening time instead of instant, probably because I have hundreds of images saved
I'm using NOVA Launcher Prime if that makes any difference, TouchWiz is a laggy POS anyway, first thing I disable
Thanks for the info, perhaps nova is the cause, I will try that
@"detection"
Can you tell me if the Samsung widgets work on nova? Especially weather and splanner widget?
I have most of the Samsung bloat disabled / frozen so can't test
But I would imagine so, give it a try, NOVA is free, but you can buy the Prime version if you want extras, but for general use, the free version does everything and more than stock TouchWiz, and is 10x faster
