Hi, i am still running 7.1.2, never upgraded to oreo because i saw lots of threads and compaints about lag/slowness ....
now after all patches and stuff, is oreo better. is the lag gone? or is 7.1.2 still better to use?
thnx
@NoFatePPC: imo lags are mostly caused by stacking dirty flashes or ota-updates, not by basic faults. So if you're happy with Nougat and ignore the security patches, stay. Otherwise try.
8.0 was really slow, but 8.1 improved it quite a bit. That said, there are plenty of apps like snapchat that are almost impossible to run because they have become so bloated. Pokemon Go can even get choppy or crash quite a bit when using AR (but that might be a memory issue). The camera still works great and is very snappy, and that is the only reason I haven't upgraded to a new phone yet.
Thnx for the updates

How many of you are using Android N and you are not ,why?
Yes, bit laggy using some apps but nothing that makes me upset, as long as i have my phone calls, emails and whatsapp running i'm happy. The next update i hope will fix many issues and most importantly the lag problem.
No, largely because of the lag. I've been spoiled by the smoothness of the stock ROM, to me the preview was basically slowing down constantly.
Ill use it when pure nexus comes out with a build.
Yes, I am experiencing zero lag with Preview 2 and will flash Preview 3 as soon as its available.
Yes, but experiencing a lots of lags, like when turning on wifi after wake up, upating apps, and much other random lags.. hope DP3 fix this.
I've been using the latest nightly build of LOS and I've encountered stutters. Much noticeable when you're for example scrolling down the Facebook/Twitter feed. While Sense Based ROMs are so smooth!
So I'm wondering if Nougat is still unoptimized or is it just the Lineage OS, maybe to conserve battery?
Facebook is unusable nougat for me. Sometimes I even had reboots using facebook
I don't think the problem is Nougat in itself (and whether apps are optimized for it). Facebook runs perfectly on my OnePlus 3T running Nougat. So the problem is likely the ROM, or some other device specific issue (plus Nougat?).
Whether apps are optimized for Nougat, completely depends on the specific app and its developers. Some are, so are not. But since Nougat is a few months in at this point, most popular (and well supported) apps have at least been updated to support Nougat. Although how much this constitutes "optimized" will depend on your definition and personal opinion.
I do not have a lot of experience loading custom roms. Is this pretty easy to do? Last time I tried this was with the original Motorola Droid (the one with slide out keyboard).
Does it make the Nexus 7 run much faster?
I have not been keeping track of the benefits of Android 7 vs older versions, are there compelling advantages to Nougat?
It seems like a good idea to try before upgrading to a new tablet. Lots of people seem to think upgrading the 2013 Nexus 7 to Nougat is better than getting a new Android tablet.
i think that, if you dont really use the nougat features, like double tap the recent key to switch to a recent app or split screen, youre better off with stock MM. I really like nougat but in order to make it work smoothly i have to install purenexus and elementalx kernel. Otherwise it would lag

I've been running LineageOS Nougat on my WiFi Nexus 7 for quite a while, and I really like it. I found it super easy to install, and really haven't had any issues. I'd say I'm intermediate in my Android knowledge, and this is the only device I've played around with custom ROM's on. Other than the OS itself, I haven't had to install any other addon or separate kernel, except I install SuperSU for root.
It is faster for me, almost certainly, and I know the battery life has been a lot better for me than MM. Some of the Nougat features are really cool - I like the finer-grain notification control especially, and the greater start-up control.
My experience, it was dead slow, had to wipe cache weekly to keep it running.

Interestingly enough, I find the same is true on my galaxy S7 edge since the Nougat update. A weekly cache clear to keep it from lagging. Makes me wonder if Nougat is actually a nugget.
Does LineageOS Nougat work with the LTE 4G version and is that the only reliable N version available for our device?
Id like to stick Android N on this thing, its such an awesome bit of kit and still serves me well, everything about it is still great for me.. Its still used daily, all throughout the day..
probably screen-on time. On 6.0.1 purenexus i had 6/7hours sot watching yt videos. On 7.1.2 purenexus i have close to 5 hours sot.
better off staying on mm with dirtyunicorn or PA
I have tried Pie roms but they are not as stable as Oreo. Especially in games like PUBG where there are glitches.
Anyone else on a stable Oreo rom? Which rom and why? (Do mention Android version to avoid confusion.)

I'm on bootleggers 3.0 last oreo build with derp 2.8 Kernel i tried almost all ths oreo ROMs and this one is my favorite , you should try it once :good:
yes,
I am using Cardinal AOSP and pretty much happy with this ROM ! :fingers-crossed:
you can try it
Yaps i still on orea , i have tried most of pie rom available for our device but all of them has some kind of glitches and not enough customization as in oreo ,so i will stay in oreo untill pie rom as stable as oreo and has enough customization.
yep, still using aosip oreo rom, it's the first rom i flash after unlocking bootloader, pretty much stable for my daily use
I'm still on AOSiP Oreo, pretty much since I've bought the phone back in June (used RR for some 10 days maybe), and have briefly tried Pixel Experience, but back when it just came out.
Oreo roms are still more stable than Pie, although for my kind of usage I could even go for Pie, but I don't want to give up Xposed just yet.
It would be nice to have another update for Oreo roms with updated blobs, but I guess exactly 0 devs share this opinion so there's that.
@Cirra92
What"s wrong with AOSP PIE roms ? I"m using PE right now. Apart from "not perfect" standby battery drain, broken manual network selection, broken 5GHz hotspot and that time when MIUI camera refused to record a video (fixed it by rebooting the phone) there isn"t much to complain about. PIE roms seems stable to me

Well I didn't state anywhere that they are unstable, I have just said that Oreo roms are still more stable which means more refined and bugs (mostly, or at least the major noticeable ones) ironed out. You have named couple of bugs already, there are also couple of bigger ones, not supported SD card formats, unstable network handoffs (4G->3G->2G), some roms have WiFi bugs. And that's normal, count in the time put in Oreo roms, and on the other hand Pie roms, as with each major Android release, new bugs arrive, some harder to fix, some easier.
And another note I want to make (mentioned in previous post) that for my particular usage, Pie roms are probably suitable enough, though it depends when will I decide to switch and give up on GravityBox and XInsta (mainly the latter).
Pie roms are certainly getting polished, and are already daily driver material for most people, but still, not everyone.
Revolution OS in combination with latest Deep Kernel.
Perfect for me. Smooth, no lags, fast and awesome battery life
Hi everyone,
I've been looking into custom roms because the vanilla oxygen OS experience gets worse every day.
Used OOS since the OnePlus One and its really frustrating.
Thats why I would like to flash a new rom.
Are there still any major disadvantages going custom?
- Afaik the OOS Camera isnt working (but can be replaced with the right gcam?)
- Does 90-120hz work?
- Is the general overall performance worse?
Currently I am using my phone for social media apps, reading manhwa and playing emulators (like citra or vDS) but the occasional hickups really annoy the heck out of me.
