I have been having this minor problem that when I don't use a web-based app like Chrome for a couple hours, there will be a clear delay when closing Chrome. So basically, I don't open chrome for a couple hours, I launch it and it has to reload back into memory, and then when I go to close Chrome, there is a pretty bad delay between when I press the home button and when the animation starts. This also happens when using websites through the Google search bar at the bottom of the launcher. I am using the pixel launcher, on 8.1 stock with root, no kernel or TWRP, no themes. This did also happen with 8.0, and because it is still bothering me, I figured I'd bring it up. Is anyone having this problem too?

I am un-rooted and have keep my N7 2 stock since I have had it. A few weeks ago I decided to try the free version of the Nova launcher. I decided to stay with the stock one after several days of trying it out, and thus uninstalled Nova from the settings app list.
Now on occasion the stock launcher freezes after swiping home screens back and forth...or exiting an app....or like things. Usually it just freezes and after 10 seconds or so it unfreezes. Sometimes I get a warning that the launcher stopped responding with the "quit/wait/cancel" popup.
So it seems installing and then a few days later uninstalling the Nova launcher has left some fragments or affected the stock launcher process.
Is there some sort of app/system clean up I can do without doing the system reset? I do not want to loose app settings.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have the freezing issue even when I DID NOT install Nova.
It's a known problem this freezing thing.
Yellow,
I have a bit of a weird problem. Tried a lot of Google but didn't even really find the same problem..
What happens effects various apps differently, most notably (and annoyin) when browsing.
Uc browser crashes to homescreen, but all tabs are still there when I open it (although entered data is lost because the tabs are loaded from scratch. Total pain, saved this text 10 times so far and it crashed twice already.)
Dolphin closes all tabs but stays open, basically as if it was reopened except with no time delay, all tabs just vanish and thats it. chrome refreshes all tabs but they stay open.
Whatsapp stays open but the keyboard goes away mid writing. Tatanium backup reloads the apps and brings me back to the top. Sygic navigation crashes. All with no error messages. Just to give a few examples.
While not tested I'm sure calling crashes too, so this phone is almost unusable.
I already did a factory reset with twrp and restored a backup from a few month ago that worked perfectly fine, but the issue came back before installing any apps (!).
Rooted 4.1.1 with "blade elite v.1.1".
To me it feels like its just too much happening for the phone so it does weird app refreshes or whatever.
Any help greatly appreciated.... I'm in Malaysia right now with very limited access to computers, so if there's anything I could try on the phone itself...
Thanks a lot in advance!
I use swiftkey keyboard and sometimes it seems to start lagging. I'll type too fast for it to catch up and it's quite annoying. Other times it's perfect and very responsive. It seems like it starts happening randomly. I thought it could be a ram issue but a couple times it's started happening I've closed all apps and cleared ram and it doesn't fix it. I even cleared swiftkey cache. Any ideas? I should mention I type pretty fast.
Two diagnostic questions:
(1) When Switfkey starts lagging, do you also get a lag in the sound-feedback on the stock phone dialer?
(2) Does the Swiftkey delay go away if you turn off sound-feedback for typing?

You mean does the typing sound lag as well or just the sound if I open up the phone app and dial to make a call?
I did a lot of research last night about this and found others with the same problem... Someone said that if you clear your clipboard from the settings in your keyboard the lag goes away.. I did that last night and the keyboard has never felt father. How come that would cause it to start lagging?
Nope, the lag doesn't go away even if I have sound and vibration off. The only thing that seems to have made a huge difference is clearing the clipboard. I don't think it's placebo because it literally hasn't went into lag mode a single time since I did that.
Also, when it would go into lag mode, the keyboard lag wasn't too terrible ever in the messaging app built into the phone however facebook messenger, kik, and Google search were pretty horrible.
After more research I found more posts. Someone said having accessibility option enabled for nova launcher is causing this. I took about 10 screen shots and my keyboard immediately started lagging again. I cleared clipboard and lag fixed. I then disabled nova accessibility, took 10 screen shots, and it DID NOT LAG even with all of those in clipboard. I'm now convinced it's nova launcher causing this issue....

So what did you do Nova launcher?
Was on open beta 2 no issues using nova prime launcher also with no issues. Went to open beta 3 now recents no longer work and even the home launcher will not load, it just crashes only nova works but without recents. Also not seeing crashing in settings when doing things like change wallpaper. Anyone else having this? Or know a solution short of downgrading and reinstalling everything again.
Weird mine works fine

Working fine here on beta 3..Cannot tell anything about Nova though as I'm not using it. I can suggest you clear the cache,data of both the launcher apps.. It might help.
Ended up having to do a full reset.
Have been using nova, and I did a dirty install, worked fine for me
something went south, reset got phone up with buttons working but ALOT of app crash freeze, etc, a lot of android errors mentioning timeout issues. About to use the msm tool and go clean from the get go. dropbox wont go past start screen, home camera app works until you view video then shuts down, time to wipe it all I think.
UK model, all up to date. Owned the phone for a month or so, super happy with it. One big problem - the Chrome browser freezes in use two or three times a day. This is a proper freeze, not just a delay loading - the whole phone display is unresponsive. Nav buttons don't work, can't do anything at all for up to 10 seconds. (Apart from the power button to close the display, but the freeze remains)
Have tried clearing Chrome cache and also the phone cache with no improvement. Suggestions appreciated.
Another browser :good:
Hah! I was hoping to avoid that, but it probably makes sense.
Lol yeah, my 'recommendation' was really because I very rarely use Chrome, on rooted devices in the past I've always deleted it. My preferred browser is Yandex, sometimes using the stock Huawei browser for a change.
