Hey there,
I've been updating my TP regularly for the last 4 years or so, and it always have been kinda slow and laggy sometimes but as far as I can remember I was at least able to browse and play some games a couple years ago. I don't really know when I started to realize that my TP is virtually impossible to use due to SO many lags and not responding apps.
Not talking about dirty flash or GApps problems though, I always clean flash new roms and kernels and for the first 5 minutes or so the TP is reacting kinda fast. But after a while it takes literally ages to open up an app, to the point where I have to restart the device.
For example using the "update all" button in Google Play will never update all the apps because for some reason the download speed will be super slow after a while and installing a single app will take up to 10 minutes.
That's the reason why my TP has just been catching dust for the last year but I had to give it another try and flash 7.1, but it's still the same story. Since the community around the TP is still kinda active, I feel like maybe this really just applies to my TP because there is no reason why anyone would still want to use this thing if it behaved like mine.
I've already given up on it and feeding it to the bin wouldn't hurt me at all, but before I do so: any ideas?
Regards
Check out my experiences with Evervolv 7.1.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71176374&postcount=937
I was using an older build of 6.0, and it was just about unusable as you describe. It would take FOREVER to do the simplest things, even with nothing open. "Lag" was measured in seconds, and apps opening would be measured in minutes. I did these few things, and it's a whole new tablet!
1. Fresh install. Wipe EVERYTHING and start over with the newest 7.1.1 ROM.
2. Format Cache and Data to F2FS.
3. Use overclocked (1.8GHz) SKZ kernel.
4. Change Governor to LionHeart and I/O scheduler to Tripndroid.
5. Do NOT use Chrome from the GPlay store. Chrome will use up ALL of your (1GB) RAM, and make it unusable. I switched to ABP webrowser.
6. Download Greenify from GPlay store. Use it to hibernate EVERYTHING that's not essential. Again, saves your RAM for what's important.
Latest nightly (20170404) is really smooth

I'm kind of in the same boat as OP but I don't have a ton of experience. If you don't mind. How did you accomplish 2-4?
=UPDATE=
I found these settings but my boil. Doesn't have the mentioned options so I overclocked to 1.7 and switched to the performance controller and that seems to help quite a bit!

Performance will be the fastest you can, but don't be surprised if your battery life takes a pretty big hit.

Exactly. I used the SKZ kernel, and F2FS is set up in TWRP.
I had been running the Rock Solid MLQ 4.4.4. CM11 but I need a newer system to run Kodi 17.1
I have been playing with Evervolv 7.1.2 Nightly and SKZ Kernel but find it painfully slow and not great for daily driver. Touchpad is a 32GB wifi. Another great problem I have is the double/tripple and more keystrokes. I have yet yo narrow the problem down.
Was contemplating a Lollipop or Mashmallow Rom but not sure which one.
Please any advise or recommendations greatly appreciated.

Hey I haven't tested this but widevine has a fix for streaming services here Perhaps you could try his 4.4.4 flashable zip with MLQ's CM11 and see if that works with Kodi 17.1. I still find MLQ's CM11 to be the fastest most stable ROM for daily use vs my tablet with android 7.x.x.
You can also try the Lineage 14.1 build here but it also has several issues to overcome when setting it up. You'll also probably need to flash a streaming fix for 7.1.1 here If you test it please report back:highfive:

Did you find quite a performance increase going to the F2FS partition format? I am curious if it may give me a bit faster response.

Thanks for the reply Roland. The problem is that Kodi 17.1 will not install on Kitkat....needs Lollipop or newer. And yes, your MLQ CM11 is a rock solid rom and I used it since it came out.
I will read up on this widevine and perhaps try it.
Now I am curious if switching to F2FS partitions will help at all with speed and usability.

I have noticed improved performance on other devices when switching to F2FS. On this device it is a little bit better, but the main cause of slowdown on a TP is not the file system, but the underwhelming dual-core CPU and the 1GB of RAM. Both of those are more likely to slow down and/or freeze this tablet than anything else.
That said, any little bit helps, so I still went with the F2FS.

Well ever since I redid with a Clean install of the 02-15-17 rom and formatted to F2FS then upgraded to latest nightly build -05-19-17 I believe it is, my TP is running somewhat better and faster. At least it is useable now.
I did not flash SKZ Kernel, I am just using the settings in Evervolv rom toolbox for performance.
And I am not getting many double/tripple keystrokes at all.
One thing I have noticed, and I am not sure if this is a rom thing or ??. I can not install .apk files from my Cloud storage using Astro File Manager. I get an error like 'No program associated' or something like that. Sorry, I am not near my TP right now to duplicate the error.

I did a clean install and formatted F2FS and my TP seems a wee bit more useable with 7.1.2 Evervolv nightly. I am not using SKZ Kernel, just the recommended performance settings using Rom Toolbox.
I did see a youtube video re: installing Kodi Krypton V17.1 on 4.4.4 but I haven't checked it out as yet.
Hi guys, I seem to be having this issue too regardless of which version of android I use (and webOS too).
I've done fresh installs of ICS and 7.1.2 as well as webOS and all 3 are really chugging and I'm not sure why. I am seeing in android's "memory" area of settings that It is reading my touchpad as having 848 megs of ram instead of 1gb. Could that be the issue and if so, how did that happen?
Any ideas?

Not to worry that's perfectly normal for the HP Touchpad. The system reserves some memory that you can't access.
Nougat can be laggy if you don't use the SKZ-OC kernel and the recommended settings here
Generally Kittkat is considered the best all around rom, try the setup below. No matter what rom you choose I recommend you OC the cpu to 1782mhz with the Kernel adiutor app. The HP TP is getting a little long in the tooth and needs all the extra performance it can get.
Download Android 4.4.4 Kitkat install files(Rom, Recovery, Gapps):
Rom:lineage-11-20170704-NIGHTLY-tenderloin

Pardon me, but how did you convert to F2FS? Which link were you referring to?
Using the recovery mentioned above, I had no option to wipe/reformat data/cache to F2FS. Do I need to update to a different of recovery?

He's right, I have to post here for now.
I can reflash it shortly, just wanted to check though:
1.) Will reflashing the rom erase everything I've done so far on it (I'm guessing it will if I "Wipe Data", which brings me to my second question)?
2.) Should I only "Wipe Cache" when I reflash it or do I have to "Wipe Data" too?
Thanks for your help
Where are people finding 7.2? I do not see that in the listed CM7 ROMS.....
Ok, I wiped the Cache, reflashed just the rom, wiped the cache again, wiped the Dalvik Cache, and then rebooted. Tried to connect to VPN and it did the same thing. It connects to my VPN and then within 5 seconds, it locks up.

It seems not a kernel problem then. I have no way of checking a VPN connection now. If that is not a problem on the other side of connection, I would recommend trying an official nightly from the CM site.

I don't think it is a connection problem, because my Atrix with CW7 on it connects with no problem to it.
The Nook Color will rarely leave my house anyways, I just wanted to see if I was doing anything wrong and make sure people know this seems to be a problem.
Which of these kernels do you recommend for now then (VPN isn't that important, rather have a better performance device):

Based on Dalingrin's encore kernel, built a modular kernel by configuring the uncommonly used features (they are still available) as kernel modules. There seems to be about 20% increase in the free RAM (available to the apps and cache) after first boot on my nook. If you want to try, here is the link. See this post for more details

Seems like you would recommend the one with 20% more memory, but your still testing it.

I have been using the modular kernel just fine since several days now. There are also no problem reports after about 200 downloads. So, I recommend the modular one.

Right now the most stable is CM11 and Beanstalk for KitKat,and CM12 and LiquidSmooth for Lollipop. But LP still has bugs but it runs better than KK for its ART runtime.
thx. when you say lp runs 'better' do you mean faster or just more stable? i cant decide what to go with... i'll test it with cm11

Hello, if you would like to get a custom ROM, you have to downgrade and download twrp recovery to access that. Also, can your device be recognized over adb? If it can, then make a Google search "freedom boot IMG. 7.5.1 and press on the webpage akauntu.blogspot and follow his tutorial. Also currently there are no official cm12 lollipop roms, so just download and flash a cm11 snapshot and gapps from the links on the website. I'm currently running cm11 m12, the latest update, and it runs quite smooth (a lot faster than 7.5.1 please tell me if everything went well! Oh, and remember before flashing, make a factory reset
excellent. that was the response i was looking for. thank you! i dont have time yet... but when i do... i'll sit down and iron through it.
at the very least, it ought to get rid of the bloatware that comes with amazon eco systems.

*never mind. I guess it runs art and there is no dalvik. That's disappointing. Thought it might've helped with lp stability on kfhd.
Hi. I need to ask this. Which one is better for all of you. I need to now it!.
Thanks
Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow is better.
Use Google, you can find out why.
And if you're asking specifically about our device, then Android Marshmallow is better. The battery life in marshmallow CM is twice that of lollipop thanks to Doze and the new enhancements to battery life.
Lollipop is at End Of Life.
It's better for people who can make it work for them. ..

Look at all the people with bricked devices as a result of the upgrade. Plus you can't view the content of your phone on your PC not can you load any files to your your memory card.. My advice stay with lolipop til there is a solution to these issues. Just saying ...
---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------
Another question is that if Marshmallow is so good why are so many people installing it , not liking it and bricking their phones in an attempt to downgrade...? BTW I up graded my phone to 6.0 using the xt1069 Brazilian version with the TWRP recovery method and then downgraded back to 5.0.2 using the easy installer with not problems at all. It's only when I used the Indian soak test there my phone bricked whilst trying to downgrade.

Good for you!!
Well it depends
Stock 6.0 is good, but when it comes to multitasking IMO it slows down . Also 6.0.1 has better improvements.
CM13(6.0.1)/Custom 6.0.1 is great, but the touch screen bug is a deal breaker for me. It messes up scrolling in Firefox, aiming in games is really really bad, and some games do not respond to touch at all.
Stock 5.0.2 is too slow for me, it's bad at multitasking
Custom 5.1.1 (on slimsaber ATM) is the android version/ROM that works best on me.
Don't take my opinion as final, test out the ROMs for yourself!

CM13(6.0.1)/Custom 6.0.1 is great, but the touch screen bug is a deal breaker for me. It messes up scrolling in Firefox, aiming in games is really really bad, and some games do not respond to touch at all.
Stock 5.0.2 is too slow for me, it's bad at multitasking
Custom 5.1.1 (on slimsaber ATM) is the android version/ROM that works best on me.
Don't take my opinion as final, test out the ROMs for yourself!

Minimal OS is also good.
Anyway,
this is the download of SlimSaber:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023710070
and this is rom thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/rom-slimsaber-titan-t3208942
check the last page of the rom thread for my review. Make sure that once you complete setup wizard, go to settings>sound¬if>other sounds and disable screen locking sounds and touch sounds. Don't forget to do this immediately otherwise it may result in heavy AudioMix wakelock. I recommend highly CM12.1 decipher kernel with this ROM for battery.

Problems with Android 6.0.1
Hi all!
Can you all please list out all the issues that you faced as problems after updating to MM.
I haven't updated yet. Was wondering whether to update it or not.
Thanks again.
I just flashed Nightlies CM 13 frankly because it's the only one with a youtube video I can follow because THESE GUIDES assume that everyone reading them has EXP in flashing.
Anyways so I found a youtube video on how to flash from stock to CM Nightlies and so I was able to flash it yay! I find it very nice except for the damm keyboard which sometimes doesnt work until u refresh many times and it sometimes go on landscape mode even though the phone's on portrait (btw if u know a solution for this lemme know). Otherwise it's great, I have no issues with fingerprint and ...other stuff. Frankly im kind of a ressurected android because last android i had which i also flashed was Galaxy Y before switching to iOS jailbreaking.
But I saw Nuclear and I read it's the best blabalabla. So What I would like to ask is what am I missing from Nuclear?
~Stability? so far not encountering any stability issues with nightlies.
~Built in features? Nightlies seems to have the stuff I need.
Please tell me.
I apologize for the long post im just a babbler and im very new here.
You won't find any difference in stability really, between CM nigbtlies and Nuclear, or Bliss, or Dirty Unicorn ...
Is pretty much the same base, the difference will be in additional features and some tweaks
I can't say which is the best for you, by I advise you look on YouTube/google. You should be able to find videos or description.
Or if your feeling adventurous now that you know how to flsah, try them!

Well... I think so dirty unicorns has different base, it's aosp and nuclear/blisspop have cm base. Not the same.

Yes, did not want to get into the details since he's just starting flashing.
But in the case of the available Rom for ZUK atm there is not a big difference in everyday use in terms of stability etc.. mainly feature wise.

Okay.. So in terms of additional features coupled with stability, what is the best CM 13 based OS?
What am I missing with those features?

When you use dual sim, on dirty unicorn(a great rom so far) you get some trouble
Sent from my Z1 using my hand
You really have to try them or read them up. I honestly can't say which is the best for you.
Clear example is the answer before that. I don't care about dual Sim and system profile but like better AOSP coz Im tweaking that branch so can adapt for myslef.

Im just not sure if I understand the descriptions for these mods even though Ive read all that's available... but I am curious about nuclear.
Since I just flashed Nightlies. Beforehand I flashed TWRP and Unlocked Bootloader but did not flash SuperSU as it said in the video I followed....
1.) ....Can I just go to fastboot and just restore factory settings and flash Nuclear directly?
2.) Will my files and apps stay? Have 10GB worth of music and 100 apps that I already set up and installed..not in the mood in doing them ALL over again.
Thanks!

1.) You have to go into TWRP and do factory reset. But do follow the instructions to install nuclearom in the rom thread!
2.) All files stored in INTERNAL STORAGE(see partitions within TWRP) will not be deleted.
Apps are stored in data and will be wiped and you have to install again unless you backup them eg with Titanium Backup(great tool for flashaholics).
Read carefully all necessary guides.

Hi all.
I am not the developer of this ROM. I have created this thread as there seems to be no real place for non-chinese speakers to discuss this ROM and help each other with any problems.
Mokee is currently at Oreo for the S5 and is under active development, receiving nightly builds.
Here is the link to the official downloads page:
https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=klte
One of the reasons I created this thread was to ask fellow users a couple of questions...
Does anyone know if Mokee 8.1 supports fast charge? It seems to take a while to charge, but I'm not sure if that's just my cable or other factors?
Does anyone else experience graphical performance issues? Playing YouTube videos is often stuttery, and I've noticed many games are laggy with lots of low fps. Performance in the ROM is generally very good, so I'm not sure if it's an issue with the gpu drivers or something...?
Cheers

I used the Magisk fast charge module which worked well.
I would recommend flashing a custom kernel.

So fast charge isn't supported as standard in Mokee?
Will a custom kernel enable it, or will that just help with graphics performance? Any recommendations?

It should improve overall performance
Here are a few kernels to get you started.
SMARTPACK KERNEL:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/kernel-project-kltexxx-t3564206
BOEFFLA KERNEL (UNOFFICIAL)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ffla-kernel-unofficial-lineage-os-15-t3764497
OreKazu Kernel:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development/kernel-orekazu-kernel-project-t3741374
TUNED KERNEL:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...unofficial-boeffla-kernel-lmkmod-low-t3685662
I recommend using Smartpack kernel manager to tune Smartpack kernel & OreKazu kernel (link on Smartpack Op)
Use BOEFFLA configuration app for BOEFFLA (unofficial)
You can also use it for tuned kernel but it is called tuned kernel for the very reason that it comes pre tuned, just flash it and leave it to do it's thaaaang! ?
Al of the above kernels work with 15.1 Oreo. They are all excellent Kernels, but if you do not know much about tweaking kernel settings, I would recommend that you start with Tuned.
The Magisk fast charge module will work with Tuned. There is a fast charge setting in the Smartpack kernel manager for Smartpack kernel.
I hope I have covered everything.

Thanks loads, I've heard lots of good things about Smartpack so might go for that. I'll have a look at some guides about tuning it.
If I can't figure it out I'll try the tuned kernel.
The page launches a daily update and I think no one has time to download and update it daily so how often is it advisable to update the rom?

Do you just do a dirty flash (wipe dalvik and cache?)

No, I always clean flash, including Format data.
I'm noticing more and more bugs:
- Web pages don't always respond to touch properly.
- Website videos don't go fullscreen properly.
- IR blaster doesn't seem to work (Anymote app says phone doesn't have one).
Anyone else have these issues? Are they fixed in recent nightly builds? Any fixes or work arounds?
Cheers

I'm currently on a nightly from 2018-10-29.
I know you said that you do a clean install every time, but if I did a dirty flash of a new nightly that should be alright, yeah?
Reeaaally don't want to reset my phone again, I've done it lists recently and it's a PITA.
If I have to reset I'd probably just go for something solid like Lineage 14.1

The problem with dirty flashing is you can bring over bugs from the previous build.
I found that downloading nightlies through the Mokee centre app would allow the ROM to update automatically through a script than runs in the recovery. It didn't appear to wipe *anything* though.
Everything seemed to upgrade smoothly.
I still have the same bugs though. The nightlies mostly seem to be translations and minor bug fixes for other devices.
