Seems legit ...
yes , but it is for Nexus 10 not Nexus 7.
Please just use the existing Nexus 10 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742501
No reason to have multiple threads for it, considering this is the Nexus 7 forum.
Thanks

Nexus 5 leaked

Android, even at 4.4.2 and the computing power of the Nexus 5, still can't compete with iOS for smoothness. Using a friend's iPhone 5 is a revelation. What with "project butter" and all that hype, continuous revision of the OS, and continuous improvement in the hardware, I would have expected iOS and Android to have been more comparable in performance by now. Eric Schmidt and the boys should carry an iPhone and use it some of the time, to see what they're up against.
My 16Gb Nexus 5 stock, unrooted, with relatively few apps, no music, no games, and a lot of free memory.

Lol...
Team Nexus 5 sucks
I'm glad you found something that works better for you.
My whole family uses iPhones (of all flavors) and they are all exactly the same. Variety and choice is the beauty of Android.
I feel that Android has far surpassed iOS in so many ways. But to each his own.

Lol @ op's post. I like my Nexus 5 minus the underpowered battery, weak antenna and plastic cheaply built compared to HTC One titanium
Team Nexus 5 sucks
My opinion: People who still complain about performance (as OP calls it "smoothness" ) on an android high end phone should either learn how to set up their device (no rooting required), or move on to the next platform. You never know, they might even allow you to change the wallpaper, hell yeah :good:

if you dont like the nexus 5 get a Google Play Edition device HTC one
like with any product launch expect some issues.
I just came from an iPhone 4S, wife has the iPhone 5 and my roommates wife has the 5S. I honestly switched to the Nexus 5 because I wanted to try Android out without any bloatware, and I liked the screen size. As of right now I don't mind being out of the ecosystem with iMessaging, but who knows, maybe soon I will.
I'm enjoying rooting, installing CM11, and learning what I can do with Android. I love iOS, but the 3.5-4" screen size is old school now and I probably won't go back unless they update to a bigger size screen.
Last time I used Android was Jellybean on a Samsung Note 1, I bought it, switched to it and in a day switched back to the iPhone. I think KitKat is awesome, maybe I didn't play with the features of Jellybean, but I didn't know it can do what it does on my Nexus 5.
The smoothness on the iPhone is mainly due to slow animations(Apple made them slow on purpose), pseudo-multitasking(apps in memory are frozen after some time to prevent it from running in background), better optimization(I agree that Android needs better optimization) and a very simple and basic application grid(no widgets, etc)
Wait till art kicks into release. You'll be drooling over our smoothness

I can honestly say I see more frame drops opening apps on my iPhone 5s than my Nexus 5..

What's an "iPhone"?
My nexus 5 is smooooth and I am getting an awesome amount of standby time now with LTE/wifi on thanks to Franco and Cataclysm. to bad you aren't experiencing the same.
I detect some serious iFan butturt. Don't like the nexus 5? Sell it, save up for the rest of the year, and maybe you can buy an iPhone. I think anyone who knows what they're talking about prefers the highly customisable and open sourced Linux based Android, to the locked, blank, outdated and proprietary iOS. this is coming from someone who just ditched an iPad 4th gen for the new Nexus 7.

Does the op think that people in the nexus 5 forum are going to agree as a majority, nah.
Join an iphone forum and post your opinion there, good point that someone made with the slow animation speed on ios, if you do the same on android it does give the same effect that apple want their users to have i believe its called the "ios feel" some ass like that.
Hmmm "Way inferior to ios" is ridiculous, why do i keep looking in the general section when all i see is donkey threads like this one.
A friend of mine who was coming from an iPhone 5 said his new N5 had some lags and frame skips, especially while opening the multitasking view. After I made him switch to ART he's not complaining anymore about smoothness, so try getting rid of Dalvik runtime, then head back here and post your (updated) comments
Where is the lag that people are talking about?! I had the 5S for a few days and using chrome on it was like using android 1.6. The whole os crashed way more than android and even safari had some lag to it.
Armando Ferreira did a video comparing 4.4 and ios7 and he saw the same thing.

Ios7 actually has real multitasking now, so ill give them that. Instead of comparing android to ios all the time, I actually think that android needs to become like wp8 more. Even the lowest end windows phone can run great. The rest of the os is junk, but the core of it is pretty good fi you ask me.
Android 4.4.2 is already as smooth as iOS.
Dear All,
The Nexus 6 is coming but the hardware will not be that different from the Nexus 5. It will still be quad core with a 1080p display, 2-3 gigs of ram, and gesture functions. As rumoured, if the 2015 is the last Nexus, what will Google come out with for its grand finale. The octa core would most likely show itself, but what special feature(s) will Google come out with that would WOW us? Lets realistically think about what will appear in 2014-2015 that could actually make it into moblie phones. I'll start it off with what we know...the Smartwatch, Google Glass and the final Nexus phone to have special features that communicate with each other to make our communication with the world even more simpler and allow us to see and do more with our devices. Your turn. :victory:
Hi,
Google Nexus 6 - What do you think?...

This thread is not about N6 but the speculated last Nexus.
Thanks.
I wouldn't worry about it. Check back in a year!
This thread would be far too speculative and would have nothing to do with the Nexus 5 anyway.

So maybe its just me, but my nexus 6 is SOOOOOO DAMN LAGGY!!!!! When i first got my nexus i was so excited. Being a galaxy note user since the original i am very familiar with the "touchwiz lag" but i will say the lag on the nexus 6 is absolutely the worst i have EVER seen. I own a nexus 6 and a note 4 and i will say my note 4 is in another league. I have 0 issues or lag on my note 4 but my nexus 6 struggles to exit out my hangouts app and go to the home screen. Am i the only one?
PS. I am running stock rooted roms on BOTH the note 4 and nexus 6.

time to start over? by flashing the factory img..
Need root?
What is lag?
I seem to recall a bit of lag when scrolling through a very large list after the phone first booted up, as it apparently was building a cache of app icons while I scrolled.
Otherwise, I don't notice "lag" outside of waiting on networks for more data while the web browser or app stays happily responsive. This phone is generally very quick.
I run completely stock, for now.
- ooofest
Mine lags too. It didn't lag to begin with. I don't know what happened. Rooted, unencrypted, ElementalX kernel. When 5.1 is released I will reflash the factory image. Hopefully that will fix if.
I had a good bit of lag with chroma for some reason switched to bliss pop and noticed a major difference.. That's just my opinion tho

You might want to consider flashing the factory image (no carrier bloat) and disabling the forced encryption.

Lag? Never felt on my Nexus 6. Though one of my friend had faced lag. He has also sent me the video of the lagging and he was not lying. But after flashing the stock image again, the problem was solved. I think you must try that
No lag whatsoever for me but I'm very particular about what I put on my phone and hyper aware of tasks running on it . Stock kernel and rooted still encrypted .
