A new app popped up in the Play Store to fix the ongoing lag issues. It seems to work on a number of devices including the Nexus 7. It is called LagFix (fstrim) and is a free app. There was a good review on AndroidPolice. You must be rooted to use the app is the only downside. Here is the link

I can confirm that this works, wasnt having too much lag just barely a little but still decided to give this a try and I'm noticing a major difference with everything, stuff just feels liquid smooth

what lag issues does it fix?
I can confirm that it really helped my GNex. Says it trimmed approx 3gb!? I do know the smooth scrolling came back immediately. I'd like to know what it'll do if I check the "system" box. Gotta research more tho before diving in that.

My N7 is laggy as hell and I really want to try this. The problem is that I never rooted before and will have to wipe my device to root (which I really don't want to do). Is there a way to execute the Trim command via ADB or some other USB debugging method that will not require me to install this app and root my device?
Installed it and ran it. Not sure if it made a difference. Are you supposed to run it just one time or whenever you reboot?

It's such an awesome update, but it causes this weird lag problem on my phone that pretty much freezes it. Having to do a battery pull after every 1 or 2 videos isn't fun
waayyy better im lovin it! no problems here

I *knew* I wasn't alone on this!! Same thing happens to me! It's so goddamn annoying I went as far as uninstalling the update. It's worthless if it freezes badly like it does!

I read through nearly all of the comments and of those mentioning they had a G2 all but 2 or 3 said they were having this problem. I'm gonna wait for them to fix it for the G2.

Same here.
The new youtube app isn't the only one that was updated. Most of the gapps also have new versions on the market. For example, the shopper app or the street view app had new versions on the market that I wasn't aware of until I searched pub:"Google Inc." You guys should probably download those as well.

Yeah probably, but the apps weren't linked to the market so I had no idea that some of the other apps were updated too. For example, maps always updates itself so I assumed the rest of the gapps would do the same.
Try avoiding the use of the "back" button while you're in the YouTube app. It hasn't crashed for me since I stopped. I'm sure an update will come pretty soon. This is an entirely new version of the app, it may take awhile to get all the bugs worked out. Looks promising, though. I like the UI.

New market update confirmed and coming soon according to Google. I think it looks pretty awesome. People are already yelling about the WP7 comparisons, but I think its pretty slick.
I think it looks quite smart. Bring it on
yup its very pretty, so us rooted users wont be able to rent movies?
Here's the new update.. ....courtesy of loxdev.

Mine was choppy and didn't display images till i rebooted. then it worked just fine.
also if you're rooted you can try to wipe market data in titanium backup and reboot. or wipe cache and reboot and try that.
Works pretty dam good on non-rooted stock.
Video is nice and smooth. Couldn't really tell I was streaming on mobile data. (Which was probably 4g)

dang! Im running the pyro rom but cant get this to install. it just says "Application not installed" anyone has any ideas how to fix this?
Anyone having issues updating apps? I've had 2 apps now show up in the 'update' heading, but when u click thru to the app the top dialogue boxes are 'open' and 'uninstall', as if that page doesn't recognize that there's an update.
Once 2 apps were available for updating, the "update 2" button comes up and it allows me to hit it. 1 of the 2 updated. the other still won't. Tried wiping Market data and rebooting, no luck. bleh.
UPDATE: Well after doing several reboots and etc. etc., I just simply went back to the file (From this thread) and re-installed the market again. Now the 'update' button shows up! Not sure what I did but it works now.

I've been doing alot of searching, haven't found a definitive answer.
My question. Can the "Mylibrary.apk" work on the n7? I have pushed my copy of the apk to /system /app to no avail. Won't even open, crashes to "unfortunately, Mylibrary has stopped". I've also changed file permissions appropriately.
I know, that should give me the answer I need, but I'm curious if maybe I need more than just the apk, so that's what I'm looking for, an answer to this question. Do I need anything else, other than a TF101, to make it work?
It's not about finding a book app, I could just use the nook app. I like Mylibrary from Asus.
Thanks for any responses

Exactly what I'm wondering. Guess I could've been that straightforward as well
I know I had it running on my n7 before, but had to remove it to update, I believe, and I can't for the life of me remember where I got the info on installing it
If it matters, I'm on rooted 4.1.2. Also if it matters, I have my dpi set at 160

I have a TF101 and the MyLibrary app doesnt even work with CM10 or CM9 on that. You need ASUS framework for it.
Can someone test Gallery app on their device? It doesn't seem to work, and freezes my tablet. I have no issues with my tablet otherwise. I know I had trouble with the built in Gallery app on other tablets, and resorted to using a third party app, so I suspect this is an Android thing and doesn't mean anything is wrong with my tablet. But I would feel better if someone else could confirm the same (mis)behavior.
Thanks!

No problems with my Gallery app. But I may not have the same type and size of pictures you have on yours. I do have both photos and videos.
Works fine for me as well. Do you have a gazillion photos in Dropbox or someplace like that which it might be trying to synchronize?
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk HD
No, I have only a few photos. I don't know why it won't work. Everything else seems to be fine.
Edit: I just tried it again, and now it's working just fine. I think you are right, it was having trouble synchronizing. Even though there aren't many pictures... must be enough to crash it while synching.
Thanks for checking it out!

Ok! I thought I was alone! My tablet just started doing the same thing this morning. It is just the gallery. The rest of the tablet works great! Does anyone have any ideas of what to do to fix this?

My issue went away without doing anything... But I installed Quickpic in the meantime since Ive had Gallery issues on other Android devices and found that Quickpic works better.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for giving me hope! I will see how it works in a few days. How long did it take before the gallery begin to work normally?
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for tip installed quickpic and issue is gone.
Really fast. Either same day or next, I can't remember. Fast enough that maybe my issue was related to synching with Picasa. But on my other Android the Gallery app was always too slow, which is why I ended up installing and using an alternative app. Try a third party app don't wait for Gallery to fix itself. There are better alternative available on the Play store. My choice is called Quickpic.

So I don't see a thread about ART and this phone here, thought I might
start one. I am running CM11 for a couple of weeks now, and I tried
using ART yesterday. I had a number of forced closes, including Google
Drive and Google play movies, and switched back, but I may try again
later. But I thought we might want to document our experiences here
with using ART.
If you are on cm11 it will work. Only thing is everything must be deodexed. So I would check the gapps zip that you used and make sure they are deodexed. When you look at the apps if you see any named ****.odex then you have odexed gapps which will cause your issue.
