When I installed Xposed, everything seemed to be in order aside from a subjectively longer reboot than normal. The only module I have installed (and the only reason atm for me having Xposed installed) was to kick the pesky ISIS app past the "Your phone is rooted" message. Both apks were downloaded from XDA as well. After several unbearably long freezes and general sluggishness reminiscent of my Evo 3D, I ended up uninstalling ISIS as well as Xposed which returned my phone to its normal speedy operation. It should be noted however that while it was runny slow and freezing, ISIS did function properly and allowed me to add things as if I weren't rooted. I'd be more than happy to re-install and try again, but I thought I'd pick the brains of the big wigs here first and see if anyone had any thoughts before I do so. Also if it matters, my GS5 is the T-Mobile version.

I have no noticable lag or freezing with Xposed installed with several modules running. I did have the issue with ISIS not wanting to run with a rooted device but RootCloak fixed that for me.
There is a issue with s-health service fc that cause this slow down. In this same forum you can find some workaround i don't remember (even though I've used it)
Please check the existing thread.

Okay so I'm really confused. I just had to get a refurb replacement for my Sprint HTC One because I accidentally bricked it and couldn't get it backed, took it to Sprint, they said it was water damage, blah blah blah. Whatever. So I get the new one in the mail, use it for a couple of days to make sure it's not broken, then root it.
All of that goes fine, with a couple of hiccups like flashing an outdated SuperSU. I use the TitaniumBackup from my previous phone to get all of my apps back. That goes fine. Note that I keep it a stock ROM.
Now here's the kicker.
I go to Xposed installer to install it. Normal install method won't work (it used to, but won't on this phone, probably because my old phone had a GPE ROM), so I switch to automatic install via recovery. So it installs, and- all of my mods work! Great! I disable Gravitybox since my phone is no longer on GPE and I come to a sudden realization. My multitasking won't work. I double tap the home button and it takes me back to the homescreen. It's like multitasking doesn't even exist. So I go through Xposed and disable all but the first mod, thinking I'll go through on by one to find the culprit. So I reboot with only the first mod active, and multitasking still doesn't work. Wha? This mod barely even does anything, much less to do with multitasking. So I think "Hey, maybe I should reinstall Xposed, that should fix it." So I uninstall Xposed and reboot, and viola, multitasking works. So now I wonder if it's Xposed itself that's screwing with it. So I reinstall Xposed, but don't activate any mods. I reboot, and sure enough, there's no multitasking. So it's 100% Xposed that's causing the issue, not a GPE mod conflicting with Sense.
What do I do?
Also note that the phone runs fine with Xposed enabled aside from multitasking not existing.
Thanks!
I just rooted and downloaded xposed. I've done this like 20 times now so I know it's not coincidence, but every time I install xposed, SMS sending (not receivingnevermind) is crippled. 99% of messages I try to send either hang forever or fail, every now and then one goes through (10 minutes later or something). Oddly MMS sending is not affected (receiving now seems to be). What the heck is going on‽‽‽‽‽‽‽‽
sum1 plz halp?
P.S. there may or may not be a problem with screen timeouts too. I'll post about that once I get more concrete data.
EDIT:
Some clarifications. No modules, nada. The ONLY variable is whether or not xposed is installed.

I can confirm that for the t-mobile variant n915t this is also an issue. For me causes eras with the settings on the edge menu, in addition to many laggy installations and random errors everywhere. I'm not using xposed until this gets resolved. I installed last stable but I am Not sure if the unreleased most recent one might be better compatible but I'm not interested in trying till someone confirms there is a working version because I am tired of playing with my phone like this I want to enjoy it lol
Eras=errors

YES! YES! I never thought the laggy installs were related too! I didn't even get around to testing that because the SMS issue was frustrating me so much. The experimental version of xposed installer doesn't fix anything. I've just stuck my SIM in my note 3 for now until a fix is released.
Interesting thing. The guy on this thread has the same issue on as s5, but he says a kernel update fixed it . . .

ugh. well I guess whatever works. I was rather dependent on greenify's xposed features and wanam. I hope someone figures out a fix soon.
try this guys
Just disable secure storage in Wanam this fixes the lag as others mentioned
Its Wanam Xposed, under "Security" tab and checkbox "Disable Secure storage" and/ or used XSecureStorage module.

Hello folks.
I couldn't manage to find any other suitable title for my thread because thats it. My phone is damn slow.
I bought it on expansys month ago already and returned it because it wasn't what I expected - slow, unresponsive, wifi problems, battery problems. I got new one like a week ago and it was same "crap".
So I decide to root it and flash custom ROM - CM 12.1 for THEA. Worked like a charm for a day (or less) but okay. Yesterday I started experiencing problems. All of sudden phone restarted and when it booted up, started to boot again - bootloop I guess.
Somehow I managed to get it working. "Apps X out of Y are updating", when it finished after like 2 reboots it worked.
But later in the day "Auto Rotate" didn't work anymore (gyro out or something), people couldn't reach me, I couldn't reach them (had to call like 3 times to make it work) and its slow.
I reinstalled ROM today and wont install any application for now to see how long will it work normal.
Its strange that this is second model that I got and its still laggy. Could it be in my google account something terribly wrong? Only apps that are essential to me were installed (like 25-30), only official.
Anyone have a slightest idea of what is going on?
Thanks
the moto e 2015 is the same, very laggy device. i think alot of it is because of the memory leak 5.0.2 has. try to use xposed lollipop and the memory leak module.
Somehow I can't install Xposed (tried "xposed-sdk22-arm-xxxxxx.zip"). Therefore no modules work.
Whats the point of "Android is starting. Optimizing app x of y" ? I get this every restart...
Xposed will work on 5.0.2. If your on 5.1 search xda for the alpha xposed for lollipop 5.1. Works fine here.
Yeah found it. Installed "Lollipop Memory Leak" module. Next few days will tell if phone is worth keeping.
Anyway this question its still hot, why "Android is starting. Optimizing app x of y" pops up after restart? I get feeling something is wrong all the time.
Mine is very slow too. Pretty annoying actually. And when I watch videos on Instagram or Facebook, the sound and video is never in sync.
I put xposed with the lollipop mem leak module on my rooted xt 1072 and also gravity box and I think things like sluggishness and overall speed has improved.
Yes this phone is so slow it's painful. I got this phone because my nexus 6 is in for repair and as soon as it's back I'm returning this poor excuse for a phone. I wasn't expecting flagship performance but my god this thing is so so slow, and I get a horrible hiss when I'm make or recieve a call.
Hey guys, i installed xposed on stock android nexus 6p (rooted obviously). But now i am getting these errors:
com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks this one seems to occur whenever i open a google chrome link in an app.
android.process.media This one seems to occur randomly.
It is not really bad yet, it happens every once in a while, but if there is a fix, that'd be great.
EDIT: I haven't had the errors in a while, even when i opened chrome links. Maybe my phone just needed a restart which i did. But i'm still a bit concerned.
I have a N6 purchased Dec 2015 new from Amazon. The only mods, if you can call it that is, I have unlocked the boot loader. I am currently running N6F26Y sideloaded via ADB.
The phone was great when I first got it but now after about a day or so of usage it becomes slow and sluggish and unresponsive I have to restart it to use it. I have done a factory reset a couple of times which gets it back to normal for a week or so and then the problem recurs. Occasionally I will delete the cache which also helps. Snapchat is one of the worse apps - crashes the phone regularly and is a very slow app.
Also the camera can get very slow often taking seconds to take one photo.
I love the phone but it's becoming unusable now. The contrast between this and a new phone (I have purchased a Moto Z) is like night and day. The Moto Z runs instantly, has no lag and is a nice phone. But what I like about the N6 is the large screen which makes it great for videos etc.
Short of perhaps flashing some custom ROM is there anything I could be doing?
I'd recommend flashing a rom like pure nexus, super stable that should fix your problem, otherwise you've done all you can and is the easiest fix

Hello,
It seems like some apps are really slowing down your phone. I use my N6 at home for web browsing mostly as I have a Pixel XL now. Just like you I love the screen size.
The camera has always been slow fore, because of the time it takes to focus...
Did you try using your phone a few days without Snapchat installed? Maybe you also have other misbehaving apps installed.
Uninstall Snapchat and other apps and start from here. Reinstall one per one with a few days interval. See if the issue still occurs.
Installing a custom ROM + kernel will likely speed up things a little bit. I second @Dugaldrob with Pure Nexus and I'd suggest ElementalX kernel on top. Running this combo on N6, N6P and Pixel XL and they work flawlessly.
I don't believe installing a custom ROM alone will fix your issue though. Stock ROM shouldn't cause the phone to slow down to the point you need to reboot to use it.
Finding the culprit will...
Good luck...

First step is to remove Snapchat. I rarely use the app and only because my daughter sends stuff on it. I am going to tell her to send me stuff via another method
If that doesn't work then it's a new ROM. I have performed ROM installs before but have never flashed a new kernel on a phone before so that will be a new experience. Hopefully I won't brick the phone

I've been running Pure Nexus and wanted to let peeps know I put Nitrogen on and man it's so smooth, my wifi tether is back and I went to sleep last night with 50% battery still. When I installed it I opted for the nano gapps I think so like 175mb for minimal apps and maybe that's why it's running so efficient. Maybe I could have re-installed Pure Nexus with a clean install and it would have gotten better but it was a good time to try something else. Also when Nitrogen got an update I was notified just like stock and it downloaded. I didn't even know these could do that. Anyways give it a try and you might just switch back. I was looking into new phones but if it keeps working so smooth with battery longer than a day then I'm fine for now.
Snap chat is not that big of an issue. What I have found to cause the device to slow down is normally almost full device storage and a crappy cache release code in apps. Some apps don't release their cache properly. So it causes lag. This is why a reboot seems to fix it.
While a custom rom may fix this issue it is not the solution. The proper solution is to find what is causing it and fix/repair/ditch it.
Worst offenders for crappy code in my thoughts. Other will disagree with one on this list I am sure. So don't bother. I know people swear by it. It runs like crap for me at times and causes my whole device to lag until I close it out.
1 Facebook
2 FB messenger
3 Google Chrome ( don't do it lol)
4 whatsapp
5 Hangouts
Mind you this is just a list on my usage. It may very per user and even device (considering different hardware)

I can confirm this, because I've removed these apps (-whatsapp) and also decrypted the data partition...
My N6 is fast.
Maybe a lite stock ROM and an other kernel is a good start.

Currently I have FB, FB messenger, and Chrome but when I installed gapps I chose a super lite install so tons of bloat and google apps were not installed and my battery has gone way up and it's so smooth. I'm sure even when we don't use apps they're always doing something in the background. I bet you're right and a stock lite ROM would be good too with the minimal bs apps.

Thanks for the advice. Of the list of apps above I have only Chrome and Hangouts. I really can't see replacing either of them.
I also should have pointed out that the phone locks up randomly requiring a hard reset. I wonder if an errant app could cause that or I have some RAM problem. Certainly on a PC bad RAM can use in Windows a blue screen or something but perhaps Android isn't so forgiving?

I would flash TWRP, flash supersu in TWRP to root, make a complete backup in twrp, then remove whatever Google apps you're not using with a system app removal app. Getting some of that bloat off the device should help. If it's still laggy, then look into a custom ROM. I run Tesla on my Nexus 6 with none of the issues you're having. I don't decrypt it either
Running abdroid 7.1 here. I dont get any slowdowns, at leas until the battery doesnt drop below 50 and 25 percent.
Im running a custom kernel and my phone is rooted. Everything else is stock.
Can you flash a custom kernel and presumably TWRP without wiping the phone? If so then might try that before a custom ROM

Hello,
Since your bootloader is unlocked, flash TWRP and install the kernel, no problem.
Might give you a slight boost at first sight, but your device will likely slow down over time anyway...
Cheers...
I'm on 7.0 with the April SP. I have dozens of apps installed, including Hangouts. I use Firefox for browsing, I like it better than chrome (and you can install an ad blocker).
My camera slows down when the battery is under 40%, and the whole device slows dramatically, though not unusable, at or below 5%. But otherwise, no issues what so ever.
One solution that I have not seen suggested here is resetting the device and NOT taking the Google account backup of all your apps. I would suggest making a completely clean install of the factory rom you have and installing one or two apps at a time, most important to you first. And do this for a few days/weeks until you find the app that's misbehaving.
Although there are general bad players out there, this bad app could be unique to your device. Just because all devices of the same model have the same specs and components, doesn't mean that there isn't variability in parts quality.
I would do this before trying any new roms or kernels. Find the true problem first.
Good luck!
edit:
I had another idea: Go into your battery stats and network stats and storage stats and see if any app seems to be using too much of any, or all of the 3. This may get you the answer more quickly.
