[Q] Chrome

Hi, so before i ask let me explain. i came across a honeycomb leak for my sony google tv internet box, I was messing with it and i found the chrome.apk i was able to pass it to my flasdrive. the Asus recognizes it but wont install it. im running stock so if i root will it work or no?
Thanks in adavance

Post it and someone will sure to try to install it.

Zip it and the upload it as an attachment, see attachment below

okay thank you, really looking forward to using this on the asus! as it should be way better then stock browser.

Mines rooted... still won't install.
Moved it to the /system/apps directory and still no go.
Tried the /data/apps directory too and still nothing.
Boo, this would be cool if it would work.

you think someone can modified the apk to get it work? atleast on tablets.

It's most likely not going to work because that version of chrome is assumingly optimised for Intel chips and Google TV boxes only at the moment.
It will come for Android devices eventually though

wow that really sucks, it would've been awesome to see it working on tablets.

The built-in browser is essentially Chrome but without plug-in support.

It could be, but chrome is 10x better then the stock browser. everytime I use the stock browser it crashes.

by this, do you mean the desktop version? because if it is, then you might be comparing apples and oranges.
but comparing apples to apples, chrome and the stock browser does use the same rendering engines. the actual apps are merely shells for the rendering engine. if you want to try another webkit browser, try dolphin.
and if you want to try something else, try opera (very good browser).
anywho, if you find that the apk doesn't work, i bet it has framework dependencies that are only in that specific version of honeycomb. try uploading the entire rom, and maybe someone might be able to figure out what else it needs.

Thanks for the reply, but no I wasnt talking about the Desktop version that would be even better lol im comparing it to the google tv and the stock on the transformer. i've been using the latest Chrome since I update the unit(Google tv) and it hasnt force close or crash once. it works very well.

AOSP Browser stall?

I've had this little issue for a long time but it's really starting to bug me now & i've got the problem narrowed down but can't figure out a fix. On all of the AOSP ROMS that i've used i have a problem with the browser basically stalling out in the middle of the page loading. It gets to a certain point on the progress bar & just seems to stall there & load & load but never wants to finish loading in the progress bar. But every sense ROM I use the pages load almost immediately but i hate Sense so i want my MIUI browser to perform like the Sense so until it does MY AOSP is inferior & i just can't have that. Now, when i turn off the Java Script or turn off "download images" in the browser everything finishes loading like normal so naturally i'm inclined to think it's something with Java Script. This happens to me on MIUI & CM7. I can use ANY Sense ROM & it works fine. On speed tests i get really good speeds, usually 5mb/sec+ download but still the page loading problem remains with AOSP. Can anyone offer some enlightment? I hate to even have to ask but apparantly i can't figure out myself. But it seems i can't! Lol. Thank u :')

Are you using any ad block apps or custom hosts file?

Nope. Just the host files that are included in Mr. Garak's Freshly Squeezed Miui & whatever host files that are in the Absolution ROM. It's aggravating. I'm sure if i just start fresh with a freshly wiped ROM & just take it one app & tweak at a time to see which one is causing this i can find it. I was just thinking that it does this to me on a fresh ROM too but i'm sure i'm thinking wrong & was hoping maybe someone else had run into this & knew what could be causing it. Thank u sir :')

Well crud. I remember in the early stages of CM7, there was an issue w/ hosts files/ad blocking causing this.
Sorry I can't be of any more help. :shrug:

Hey buddy, i just appreciate the reply. No biggie, it's a pretty unique problem that's obviously just related to my setup so obviously i'm just gonna have to deal with it till i get time to start over & take it slow to pinpoint the problem. Have a good day :')

[Q] Chrome Beta

On Google play I've seen reviews where chrome beta does work for them, but there are also many other reviews that say that chrome crashes right after opening the app. I'm guessing the crashes only happen on custom roms, all the reviews say so. I'm just wondering why this happens.

I wish I knew. It crashes on CM10 for me on my Skyrocket.

Custom roms are not official releases. They have bits and pieces missing that the official will have. It's amazing as many apps do run on them.

Same for me, it crashes when it gets to the loading synced bookmarks part. If you clear cache for it, then start it up, it's more obvious. I've removed it from my phone. Works fine on me Nexus 7 with CM10.1, so it's not all custom ROM's.

I think only the official skyrocket tw rom works with chrome beta... Hope to see this fixed, I'm curious to see how much difference there is between the default chrome and chrome beta.

I need 10post to be able to post in Development board
Looking for fawrd to this build,
need at least mobile data, i will try it out...
had been follow since 4.3 till now..

Dear Daniel
Thanks for your developments. Will try it and revert for any comments.

As far as know it a known problem in cm at the moment it has to do with the hw decoders.

Method to achieve root
Got ideas how to achieve root? KitKat method or any specified methods?

Amazing work, Daniel. Thanks so much for your effort.
My impressions on this release: battery life is AMAZING, a lot better than official firmware; I am unable to play any kind of video, Youtube included, that´s the only thing that is really bothering me since I use chromecast to watch movies from it; Incredibly fast and responsive; some screen tearing when browsing the web (using Chrome); I don´t know if it is just my imagination but the color scheme seems to be a little "off", contrast is a bit down; some reboots here and there, it doesn´t seem to have a specific reason.
Well, that´s it. Thanks again for all your work!

cm 12
Its super awesome we are seeing lollipop on gt6810 all though there were some fixes need for video decoding and others. I did try it out but all the roms I've tried don't quiet give me the simple stable experience paranoid 3.68 gives me especially with camera flash everytime its opened for new pictures to be taken and browser distortions which is hardly experienced in pa3.68. Looking at the paranoid rom, do you think lollipop could use abit of the old experince of paranoid just incase the new updates coming out of lollipop pose abit too much of difficulty?... I really would love to see this awesome lollipop interface you've given us a chance to experience on a paranoid kind of feel...u know... Also, compared to how light paranoid is, the kitkat and others seem to perform under alot of pressure. My tab practically gets really warm when watching a video on low screen light and a minimized volume. These things are scaring the crap out of me so I've reverted back to paranoid. Would love to have a positive feedback, hopefully... Once again, Thank you for the work you've done so far.. You're aweSome!

My laptop got stolen recently.. Really wanted to tinker with this new build. now I have to do that directly from my tab somehow...really depressing and stressful but all goes well, hoping for a better future with cm 12.. :cyclops:

I Need Multi-User Support
Thank you Daniel. I love it!
I hope that the multi-user support will be added in the next build. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year!

test results for 5/1
very usable but not too stable,random crashes,auto restart,freezing
apps start fast but then lag a little
over all almost can be used as daily drive other than lag and random random crash and reboot
miss xposed and themes engine,lollipop has an annoying green-white theme ,yuck

Some issues with 10th Jan build
Hey Daniel,
Firstly, thanks a ton for your hard work. I check this forum on daily basis to check out new builds if any. I really love your work. I am still using my 3 year old tab just because of you.
I have installed the the 10th Jan build. There is one major issue I want to report. When I leave the tablet on for sometime untouched on charging or anything. I come back and try to use it at the moment the screen never switches on. I have to push the power button and hard restart the device again.
It seems to be dying out after going into deep sleep and need to be restarted to start using again.
If I am missing some solution for this please let me know so i can fix this. Otherwise this new build and new kernel is awesome. Even the speed of device has tremendously improved.

reboot into recovery
hi
I installed this cyanogen rom on my P6800 , but in "Rom Manager" app i couldn't Reboot to Recovery.
when i press "Reboot to Recovery" my tab doesn't reboot!!!!!!!

Great Rom
This ROM is by far better than kitkat on many ways...and its much more stable... So far everything works perfectly...the only small thing is, I think lollipop is abit too heavy on the tab 7.7. Cm 12, I'm really enjoying the feel... Thanks Dan.
So how can lollipop feel lighter but with the same features? In terms of its memory management, speed at which it can process one or more things at a time and considering where tab 7.7 is coming from, it doesn't seem all that simple...
Also, you we could tell you if there were any problems.. No distortion or anything but there are minor flickers which kinda scares me..I hope its nothing. The flashlight function don't work. Any gapps higher than the micro version, I get this error "insufficient internal storage-aborting installation'. I use the latest TWRP.
Is it possible to get a camera app with photosphere? I really love that function in a camera..
Everything else works just fine...WiFi works better on da kk versions and much better on da lollipop (cm12). Like I said from the beginning, seems the lollipop weighs the tabs overall performance down a lot.. I couldn't find anything in the root folder that helped so maybe you could teach me a thing or two about that area on android lollipop...
I have a tab gtp6810
Thanks
And o, the previous ROMs that some people complained about the charging running down the battery instead while plugged in and running at least one app like the browser... I did a power supply reset in the terminal... I don't know if worked but I'll give a feedback here if I see any improvements for everyone using any of Dan HK ROMs...

fifth try
Well, I only installed the cm12 without gapp.. I'm going to fix in the apps I want from the gapp... So far, running abit smoother than with gapp install along cm12 together... For the torch, I'm going to take the one from cm11 and try make it a system app.. Also, the camera...the flash only works when every time you open anew and take the first picture or select through the flash settings.. Just like all the previous ROMs from carbon to slimkat... Only PAC and paranoid 4.2.2 are the last that works the way you would want..but graphical interface ain't as good as this..hehe
---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
The dalvik heap size allocations...do they work through the system's available storage, ram or some separate caches space separated? I sort of change those area abut..there was abit of change around the graphic performance and processor...couldn't really tell but it felt abit different... Will those sort of changes affect anything negatively as well somewhere in the custom firmware? I want to be careful I'm not doing anything wrong...

runs good
I think it run better without gapp....only difference is, you won't have all the Google service interface eating away your battery and stuffs power related.. Also, recent app button, the apps take abit more time for the close sign to appear... Its basic issues still remain like the missing torch function But in all, it works very good.. U think this new cm 12 could actually become an OS on it own? I've been going round the web seeing as how Aroma installer are popularly used with different cool installer interfaces... Cm12 so far ROCKS!
For those having battery charging problems, get the stock recovery (it worked for me) and flash in the pit file for ur device as well, seems to help somehow...you can try sbl bin but I mean, its just an idea... I lost my laptop so I can't manage going back and forth from friends houses all the time...

few cm12
Bluetooth..pair and connects with some av control. Didn't realize the tab was my PC now. Sending files..-"no bluetooth device found" (while paired or with the extra a/v connection).
Tab turned off, trying to charge under twrp 2.8.2.1, "battery draw jpg cannot load" or sth like that. Not sure what that means but a white one shows charging after the error.
Mobile Odin can't see nor access external SD.
On first install, Google search appears after turning off in launcher settings, open recent apps tab (show up here insteadv big and white), go back and turn on in setting,"heeeyyy, you're here!! Welcome back to my screen..lol".. So its not ICS version I see on the home screen.
Live paper on, turned on Bluetooth first time and device restarts. Surfing over 5 tabs on browser at the same time, restarts. Also, using an app like torrent to download one file while watching a movie (tab get very warm & freezes completely and unresponsive till I keep on power button till it restarts the device)
But I'm only testing all this with a fresh installation and gapp 5 beta 12 nano. I haven't changed any settings at all. Just want to help out with more feedbacks on overall performance.
Most responses to apps opening and closing can be slow in moments where about at least three or four apps have been opened.. So I have to manage an app at a time while clearing my recent apps. And surface a page or two unless with a different browser like UC browser, its okay.
Colors, everything feels cool. Flashed lollipop font and system sounds (don't remember where I got them but I'm sure it was on xda). It sort of felt like I was using the kitkat version that's why I changed them. Runs and feels abit better than my first time install cm12.
I don't know if there are any memory forced to leak but maybe you could hover around to see if something's is abit off about it from what I've said so far.
So between recovery and custom ROM, seems there's some unstable thing going on from within their interactions... I don't know, maybe recovery also needs an update....I guess...?... Well, you're the expert so these are my user experiences so far... Will let you know if anything else comes up
This new lollipop really is different. I can't even tell in the lib files are supposed to be in the apps or lib folder or both when trying out an app like the latest Google camera. I've tried but I only get as far as paranoma and it stops working at photosphere. Sometimes it opens but da circle has no use when the pictures are supposed to be taken. Read from file to file, I must say...I have never been this lost in android...hahahahaha

updating on cm12 issues that could help, hopefully
Lollipop looks light but feels heavy on performance i think cos of how much memory it over-uses.. Maybe its the kernels or sth so I'll wait for what Daniel will help us with to understand more (thank you again Daniel. U're awesome!)
What I noticed today was, when the memories goes to its limits in usage is some areas I think, the tab glitches, slows down abit and restarts if anything else opens... I was only watching a movie series (homeland TV series) from my 32GB SD card, and downloading a ROM from media fire with all my apps closed but the system running. No other recent tabs were opened.. Before I continue, I limited the memory use so between 5mb to 256mb does seem enough unless u r da type that multitasks a lot more (but that should not the case, right?...weird tho). I did this cos when I increased it, with a bit extra apps (about 1 or 2 etrxa apps running), its kept either freezing badly or restarting. So I just had to test this to see if its me or this new OS is going to be hard to work with...
Secondly...I use MX player a lot... Sometimes hardware works but when switched to software decoding and back to hardware, suddenly hardware is not supported unless I close the current video or app itself and start again. But will still fail at hardware decoding and sometimes restarts unexpectedly during software decoding.. Too much info?...haha... Naaah.. Lol
JESUS! The cursor is abit difficult to move around with a huge finger that covers it completely...lol
In case you are wondering,"where did this guy come from"...I assure u, I have been a fan of xda for about a year or two maybe or more cos I remember using my first tab its been almost or over two years. I only recently joined cos android has fascinated me in many ways and by having alot of great customization options and being an open source if I may add... I'm happy old devices get to meet the challenges that people have doubts on.. I'm grateful that I still use some of my old devices with a lot of confidence...

Really? How did you install it? And did you do a factory reset after install ROM or clearing cache and dalvik cache? Have u tried a long press on the power button to shutdown first?
As for ROM manager, I can't say for sure I can help u with that but I also noticed some things like mobile odin don't fully run all its functions on my tab p6810 with the p6800 kernal I found for mobile Odin to work o my tab.. I can't see the external SD unless i copy da file I want to use to the internal storage... So cm12 is still a working progress I guess.. Refer to the original cm12 post...Daniel said sth about the we probably will have to end up with our own new custom kernel to use I think due some out dated resources...For now, if no options works for u... If u know how to open the tab gently to take out the battery's connection and back in to enable u go into recovery to do a back up just in case... The u can sort out the ROM properly...and only if ur tab doesn't allow u to shut it down manually... At ur own risk..u can watch YouTube videos on how to handle ur tab p6800 with care when opening..
I've used twrp recovery and cwm recovery (which cwm needs to be rooted before flashing ROM), they all worked well for me so far.. A feww issues I've already pointed out but could be sorted eventually..
I searched da web for info and made a few changes to my build prop. Would share with u if interested...but remember, I'm only using the WiFi version of ur tab..
---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------
I think the last cwm recovery works abit better (if in case u have charging charging issues and don't want to use the original stock recovery).. U flash that and root ur device through the recovery, restart recovery to root or fix root then install cm12 with mini or nano gapps 5.0. Battery draw is missing in ROM but don't worry, it will still charge.
I want to share my super su which I flashed to root the device but I can't get the upload button to pop up any window to find the file on my tab in the system's browser on the cm12. Well, all the same...Good luck!

I wonder if this is what they call a memory leak...
Three words...poor memory management... For an old device, lollipop settings over use tab hardware resources..though its performance is better in terms of gaming.
OK...I said I made a few changes to my build.prop...well, here they are:
#
ro.sf.lcd_density=180
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
#
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=84
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=7m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=49m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=294m
dalvik.vm.heaptargetutilization=0.72
dalvik.vm.heapminfree=788k
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=7m
dalvik.vm.lockprof.threshold=600
These are lines I made changes to (p6810)
******
I'm using nova launcher as system launcher
Flash some L fonts and sound I found on YouTube
And boot animation
Just to try get it to feel like lollipop as much as possible..
I notice a white line that flickers between long minutes like about 45mins during a movie playing on my MX player.. It also happens during charging the device when running twrp I guess...i see that on my lockscreen when on landscape mode...don't really know what that means...but I take out the charger for some time and plug it back and it stops for a long while but I switched to cwm.. Da MX player thing still shows though..
I removed that performance tweak app... Can't risk overheating...sorryyyy...I get scared a lot when I know my device hardware has its limits and way of coding to the responsiveness to whatever android versions out there....and I guess it all depends on the hardware make or build period and its sources..
Well, catch ya'll later... Still waiting for kernel and/or some ideas...
Cm file manager don't do much aside from viewing files and folder or install apps..
I tried material manager pro...that too crashes when I try to select everything at once in a folder...have no clue what that means either but will make time for the apps later.. Right now, cm12 needs a good workout till I feel its stable enough for extra updates from Daniel and others who enjoy helping g out....
PEACE!!

tasty lollipop
arrrghhhh! Wish I had an 'F5' button on my Google keyboard!!!
Just messing around..lol... But seriously though, you use it for abit with different apps running and closed...then remove all recent tabs...restart, you have most apps you opened which a lot are related to Google running as background processes......mmmmm....didn't realize the system takes me abit too seriously...Haha
So now, I have 'ccleaner' and 'the cleaner' installed. Ccleaner runs... 561.6mb ram of 770.97mb used. Okaaaay..........analyze....clean processes, empty folders, cache....no changes to memory.....awkward...lol..
Now, 'the cleaner' app- analyze, 197mb or sth to be recovered...nice! - 'clean'.......384.84mb in use...shows in ccleaner....wow!
This is.....sth......
Ok so, system bootup........Google+ and YouTube are background processes.... Sometimes 'music' pops up....weird....I.....don't think I'm ready to dance just yet... But after a while they get tired and leave, leaving YouTube behind.......maybe it wants me to watch xda videos....... Ok, so Google app pops up when I've l've literary stopped all its functions... I haven't force closed it, no no no...well....not yet but I will....
I once saw Google service and Google play service pop up...are they related?
Also, I would like to make guess or assumption; I think it takes abit longer to load everything compared to previous ROMs... Even when its already booted to home screen..
Ok, so some was last night's observations.. I think this gapp is going to make me saaad.
Will use only cm12 without gapp and run the Google apps manually instead to avoid multiple background processes at once...gms core.....interesting and can be quiet a strain...o well.....laterrrrrrr

Extremely slow and laggy

So I got my Nvidia Shield a while back. The first thing I did when getting it was installing all the updates. Eventually after the final update was installed, I did a full factory reset of the device.
I have hardly any apps installed besides the essential Google applications, but my Nvidia Shield still feels remarkably slow. Chrome is practically unusable, and switching between apps is not a pleasant experience at all. That said, benchmarks and games perform wonderfully, which has me a bit puzzled. There doesnt seem to be any problems with memory leaks as there is plenty of RAM available. I do tend to restart it quite often just to see if it makes a difference, but I doesnt really feel like it has much of an impact.
Does anyone here have similar issues at all? I have worked with Android quite a bit and never have I experienced a system run Android so much worse than you would expect given the hardware specifications. My Nexus 10 feels a lot more snappy in general use.
Thanks for any help

All I can say is that I have a similar experience to you, although I have quite a lot of applications installed. I don't have any solutions for you, only to wait and hope that nvidia optimises the software for the hardware in the next update (Android 5.1 hopefully)

It's up to you, but I will recommend you to try this:
1) Unlock bootloader and Root (If you haven't).
2) Use CWM in this thread as custom recovery, I know TWRP is fancier but has some issues while flashing and wiping stuff, tending to not cleanly install things.
3) Try @BitOBSessiOn custom CM12 ROM here.
4) As stated there, avoid CM gapps, we don't know why but they are culprit of making the system lag A LOT making it almost unusable as you posted, specially if you frequently use Facebook and Chrome. Instead use the minimal gapps posted there.
5) Really important step: Activate Developer Options and disable all animations, lollipop men leak resides on a function called when the system draws them, so the only temporal fix for this is disabling them, after that, reboot and kill any bloatware app on options > apps (G+, FB, Messenger, Vine, Chrome, etc)
6) Profit

I've had this problem too.
I just turned off battery saver. It got too low, automatically turned on and I didn't realize but when I turned it off, it got way faster.

The Lollipop memleak bug is pretty easy to detect though and that's not what's causing the performance issue on the Shield Tablet. At least not in my case. While I would normally be the first to unlock my bootloader and port CM to my new device, I would want to keep my tablet stock.
Im glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing issues so Im going to assume that there's nothing specifically wrong with my device in particular. I guess Ill give Nvidia one more chance to rectify performance issues with their next update, otherwise I'm selling the tablet and buying a Nexus 9 or something else.

I have the same experience. I have flashed the latest recovery image, unlocked and rooted. I have disabled apps I don't need and does not have a lot of apps installed. It is unbelievable slow. Like stated above Chrome is almost useless and switching apps is painful. I am using my Nexus 10 too, the Shield tablet will collect dust until there is a fix released.
If I have the time I will try flashing CM12 but I rather stay stock.

You should give it a shot...

Chrome lag totally solved. Most Nvidia apps work. Only deal breaker is the controller, but a ps3 controller can be paired via BT using sixaxis app.

This has almost convinced me to switch to cm12.
If it just werent for the loss of Dabbler, some other Nvidia apps and the fact that I have a looooot of apps installed...
Not worried about gamepad, because I use an ipega 9023.

I may have found the holy grail of slow laggy freezy hell! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.memory.manager under tasks go to 3 dot menu at top right choose minfree manager pick the top silder and max it out. Hit apply, let app stay in background and proceed with speedy happy days.
I don't know why but it won't keep the settings after boot no matter what I do but I can live with it now and don't fantasize about smashing it with a rock anymore.
I should mention short of non-stock Nvidia roms I tried EVERYTHING twice! This just works for 3 days now perfectly. I actually might even trust it in a week for actual work applications. My poor old Nexus 7 gen one was totally owning the Shield except for game until now.
I have a LTE USA model running rooted 4.4 Kit Kat. I would guess this will work with 5 as well.

Please remove. (Double post)

Root your tab. Do a nandroid backup, backup your apps with titanium backup, flash cm or team eos rom (gotta plug my stuff, restore your apps with titanium. If you don't like it, restore your nandroid and you're back like nothing ever happened.

I have it rooted, with xposed, and a lot of apps. I may try CM over the weekend.

This has almost convinced me to switch to cm12.
If it just werent for the loss of Dabbler, some other Nvidia apps and the fact that I have a looooot of apps installed...
Not worried about gamepad, because I use an ipega 9023.

Dabbler works fine on CM. It's on the Play Store.

And GRID also works fine. The only deal breakers (and the ones every dev is working hard to make em work on AOSP) are console mode and the controller wireless pairing.

I may have found the holy grail of slow laggy freezy hell! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.memory.manager under tasks go to 3 dot menu at top right choose minfree manager pick the top silder and max it out. Hit apply, let app stay in background and proceed with speedy happy days.
I don't know why but it won't keep the settings after boot no matter what I do but I can live with it now and don't fantasize about smashing it with a rock anymore.
I should mention short of non-stock Nvidia roms I tried EVERYTHING twice! This just works for 3 days now perfectly. I actually might even trust it in a week for actual work applications. My poor old Nexus 7 gen one was totally owning the Shield except for game until now.
I have a LTE USA model running rooted 4.4 Kit Kat. I would guess this will work with 5 as well.

That's contradictory. I have a really tiny LMK value for foreground apps (foreground= 8mb, Visible=16, secondary=32, hidden=64, content provider=96, empty=128 ) so apps in the foreground are killed only if system goes under 8mb of free ram, and have no lag, but I'm on CM12.1. So I really don't know how this is working but I'm glad for you. Although it may drain your battery faster BC android is killing apps as soon as they go to the foreground to keep that amount of free ram and is using more CPU cycles to load them back when you need them again, that's what I get. But anyone with more knowledge maybe could guide us why this is working???

Interesting, it's working but I didn't even try any other variables. I will try your settings and get back. Needless to say battery life is next after usability.

Ok tried your suggestion verbatim. It immediately was back in useless mode as I have been calling it. Without a reboot it took me at least 15min to get back to here. Still could not type so minmanged back to previous settings and its running. Weird.
My test would have been run Facebook, chrome & this app with poweramp music. Never got halfway before it got all James May on me. Are we running the same tablet? Any thoughts on why we could have opposed settings and get different successful results.

Also when it slows down it gets warmer the settings I'm using leave it pretty cool in comparison.

I'm on stock 5.0.1, 32gb SD + internal memory almost full. I experience some lag mainly with chrome and switching app. Yestetday I tried to set the power saver to "max performance" and the everything seems much smoother..

Make sure you SD cards are formatted with NTFS. exFAT is fine for 32gb, but if you have a 64GB or higher, the card needs to be formatted in a PC using NTFS...

Don't ever let your main ram storage memory get below 500meg.
If somehow you run out of memory,, let's say sub 10megs then all manner of weird things begin to happen including reboots and app crashing. You can jam that external sd1 card full however.

I reset mine several times and tried everything I saw in these threads about the lagginess and stuff.
In the end, I found the solution. I returned the NST and exchanged it for a new iPad Mini 2 32gb Retina Screen... No really.
I love Android on the phone, but it just seems that the tablet arena isn't anywhere near as far along and sorted out yet. Buggy, almost too many options, so you wonder how much love each model gets from the manufacturer, etc... I hate to have a new tablet for $300, and the only way to get it to run the way it was supposed to run out of the box, is to void the warranty, root and install a custom ROM on it, and give up some features in the process.
I like ROMs for things that they do above and beyond the stock experience. I don't feel that I should pay that much for a device and have a ROM be a requirement just to get it to run decently...
So, for my tablet needs, I had to go to the dark side. Good luck!
I will still rock my Note 4 and don't see myself going to Apple for my phone needs any time soon, but for a general purpose tablet for Netflix, email, browsing and basic games... I agonized for hours over this but in the end I just pulled the trigger and exchanged it.
