A few of us are having problems with laggy Google Maps after upgrading from KitKat to Lollipop. I've tried two different custom ROMs and both have the same issue. Has anyone managed to fix it yet?
yeah, I used to have same issue but installed DSA rom last night and everything smooth!

Google Maps on my Joying MTCD 5.1 was pretty laggy to launch.
However on my new Joying 2GB RAM, Intel unit it runs pretty quick, maybe it is a RAM issue

Anyone realised or felt Google Maps 5.8 runs slow on the wildfire. I feel a great deal of lag in this version than any other previous version of Gmaps.. Any ideas??
Hi there
I use the Netflix app on my HOX to stream TV and movies and find that the playback is very s-s-s-tuttery/jumpy despite being on a 30Mb WiFi connection (indeed, the same WiFi I use to stream to my XBox which works great).
Therefore, is this an issue that the HOX is just not powerful enough to stream movies smoothly? Does anyone else use Netflix on their HOX? I don't own any other handheld devices to compare to but I do find this hard to believe given it works on iPhones with lesser hardware.
For reference, I am using ARHD 33.1 on stock kernel - i.e. a pretty standard Sense 5 & 4.2.2 set up.
Thanks
James
I'm running a HOX+ and see the exact same problem, running a very solid Wi-Fi connection with 16Mb broadband. It's pretty much unusable, very frustrating in use.
Phone is completely stock Sense & 4.2.2.
i've used netflix on sense (stock), rev HD, venom as well as CM 10.2,10.3 and 11 using ART and delvik and have had no issues with play back.
OK thanks. At least it's good to know it's possible to have it working smoothly on the HOX. I will experiment with some custom kernels perhaps.
FYI, I installed Lyapota's kernel and I have just watched a whole episode of Breaking Bad stutter-free. Might just have done the trick.
Due to CM11 bugs. Latest version of youtube is not working properly (can't play a video).
So, what is the best youtube version for CM11 user??
I considered as ogyoutube since it have a number of feature. But its rather old for our new cm11. Latest ogyoutube still unable to log in. And that is not our choice.
So is there anyother alternative? Maybe official one that still working with our devices, or anyother youtube apps replacement.
Thanks.
Hd YouTube..
5.3.32 working fine for me.
5.3.32 work good.
Even though the video seem a little pixelated.
Og youtubev6 oftenly crashing with cm11.
Does anyone have the same problem with me?
Have any suggestion to fix the crash?
I came from a Note 2 to a Note 4 and when I first opened the Maps app, I noticed that the Maps application seems to be running at like 20fps instead of 60fps like everything else. You can notice it because it's jittery and choppy compared to stuff like switching between home screens.
My Note 2's Maps app is still on Version 6, maybe the newer Map versions aren't as smooth or something?
I recently had maps going and power amp while using Facebook messenger and chrome. Switching between all of them I noticed no lag. I actually love the latest version of maps but I'm coming from my old S3 and it ran very bad while multitasking with maps going, not to mention overheating.
I sideloaded the Version 6 of Google Maps onto my Note 4 and everything is smooth now. I don't know why the newer Maps have such terrible performance...
Hello, I have a slight issue with my Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi (flo). Currently running on Slim 6.0.1 alpha but to be honest it was the same on CM13 Nightly and Paranoid OS.
Whats the nature of the issue:
While playing 1080p youtube videos after every 10 seconds there is a half second frame stop - mildly annoying
If I watch my series on my tablet with VLC/BS Player/MX Player this POS does the same even with 720p - very annoying
There is nothing more just the occasional lag but as it is a 2 years old tablet with a 3 years old hardware I guess that's okay.
I tried a bunch of things (factory reset, wipe, reinstall, another OS) however, no progress yet. Since I am out of ideas would you be so kind and advise a possible solution?
Thank you in advance! (And pardon my English)
Please try the following:
download SPMC (alt) (Kodi)
install and run it
in SPMC install YouTube addon
Test it out and let us know.
My intuition tells me that the problem is WIFI/network related rather than hardware/rom related. One easy way to confirm this is to download the entire video to your tablet (maintaining the 1080 or 720 quality respectively), playing it locally, and seeing if you still get the frame drops.
I suspect that you won't.
If you don't, then it's time for communications diagnostics and optimizations. There's a slew of things that might help, from the simple (like turning off bluetooth), to the complex (hacks to increase communication buffer size), and so on.
Well, SPMC works with offline 720p mkv, now it is barely slowing however, I cannot set to watch youtube videos in 1080p. The default is 1080p and asks the resolution but the max is 720p.
Yup, definitely sounds like a bandwidth issue to me.
My fiancee has the exact same tablet, she bought it 2 months later at the same place. The only difference between the 2 devices is the OS. Her's runs on stock and mine runs on Slim 6, the stock plays videos online/offline flawlessly. Since mine is struggling with both I believe this is not a bandwidth issue but I am not an expert. Probably worth mentioning that my Meizu M1 Note and her Huawei P8 Lite runs videos smoothly.
Would it be a possible solution to reinstall the stock OS? Yes, I am that desperate.
BTW: Thank you!

Sure, please get factory image or use NRT to flash stock OS.
