I gave up and went back to 4.4.4. I can FINALLY use my tablet again...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjCalvin:
It's the flash memory in them. It's just degraded over time. I went back to 4.4.4 and it was excellent for about a week. Then it turned useless again.

That guide posted above seems to be a placebo other than the animation's being turned off. The n7 is absolutely fine after a fresh wipe, or a factory reset. For a week... I went through the guide and the only things it had that would make a real difference was animation speeds. I'll see how it does in a week.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HectorFabianC:
hi! I was having the same problem, my n7 was super laggy and sometimes rebooted itself. that was just after uprading to lollipop 5.0.2. it kinda solved after rooting, doing a factory reset and installing lollipop 5.1. I hope it helps!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvin612:
4.4.4 stock with all-f2fs rom. M-kernel r69. Both can be found here on xda.

This is how I got mine running smoothly again, even after trying several lollipop roms including 5.1.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KillerNo2:
CM12 is not doing any better, I hope 5.1 could make a difference.

Stock 5.1 + Franco kernel with /data and /cache formatted to f2fs works beautifully for me. No problems at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VintageGuitarz:
I had all the same problems (and more) you and other spoke about when (a structure that holds back water and sounds like Ham) Google hounded and hounded me to install LolliCrap 5.02 (I ignored 5.0, which somehow disappeared). I HATED my #1 Nexus 7 16GB v2012. I also have a #2 Nexus 7 32GB v2012 (running HAPPILY 4.4.4) which I am still ignoring for "ham" good reason to install 5.02, an I never will install it or the latest 5.1!!

I have been exploring reinstalling the stock 4.4.4, but first I want know how to turn OFF future Google OEM Android updates and stop the "ham" badgering that there is a "new update available. But in the mean time, want to make #1 N7 useful again, I bite the bullet, backed up everything and did a factory reset and reinstalled everything. Even though I still HATE LolliCrap, my #1 N7 16GB is running pretty snappy again though some apps absolutely DON'T LIKE LolliCrap OS and are hanging and hanging and slow and crash (lazy Devs that aren't fixing whatever is causing that with 5.x). Apps I've noticed that are horribly slow with 5.x are Outlook, Skype, Yahoo Mail, Weather Underground, Drop Box, others

So, do a full reset and reinstall after backing up your data. You're gonna lose everything anyway when you Root and Boot Unlock to install an older version of Android or a custom ROM.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reapman:
Glad to see another post here on the very topic I'm looking for. I'm currently running stock 5.1, completely stock, and it's just as bad as 5.0 was. I've read up enough to realize the issue is a flaw with the device, but am going to try and devote an evening or 3 to making this thing work before I completely give up on it. My goal is a minimal, feature poor but reasonably fast device for browsing, email, and some specific apps (a game or 2 and the Harmony Remote app)

Below are the areas I'm looking at, if anyone has advice or tips on any of these I'd really appreciate it:

Custom Kernel- Franco or MKernel r69? Need to investigate

F2FS - This is probably the best shot

Custom ROM - May stay stock, but if anyone knows of a lean, limited feature bloat ROM let me know!

Lightweight Browser - Can we get the original "Browser" App to install? Other options?

Basic EMail Client - not sure about this one..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crim Soukyuu:
The moment I saw the thread title, I knew I was not alone on this.

I remember the behavior first started with 4.4.4 actually, refusing to turn the screen on sometimes etc. I tried CM12+f2fs+mkernel 69 and it went well for a few days, then stuff broke again. I first suspected it's a RAM issue because I have two users running, but it constantly has about 150-200MB free (counting the cached apps, 400+ otherwise).

I guess I'll try slimkat 4.4.4 + f2fs modification, hope it can get the tablet running again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvin612:
1. For some reason Franco never boot my tablet for me...I've been using mkernel r69 and that's working really well.

2. Yep, a must.

3. Tried several custom roms and came back to stock.

4. Opera

5. Stock email, the one can be downloaded via playstore?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bill3508:
Rastapop with Franco kernel runs great to me. Keeping this thing alive.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zer0lab.dev:
To remove the update questions you got to root the device and disable the SystemUpdateService service of Google Service Framework and Google Play Services applications (don't know, maybe only Play Service one is really required, but better block both of them).

To do that use this application http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice

In my experience best custom ROM is Resurrection Remix.. I tried all tilapia Lolllipop ones except AICP, which now I'm very curious to try.. but I flashed Paranoid Android 4.6 BETA 6 yesterday and I will not change it until Google releases 5.1 firmware for tilapia too and people say this build is finally smooth and nice (well, too much hope, I know.. Lollipop will never be smooth on Nexus 7 2012, I fear :( )
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reapman:
Sofar I'm about 24 hours in using SlimKat with F2F2 (followed this post here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2678142) using "Browser" that it comes with, and so far just GMail. Initial findings are very positive, it's quite fast, but I'm sure that could change.

Next steps (thanks for the ideas all!):

Install Opera

There's actually an update to SlimKat, but i'm waiting to see how the tablet performs as is without touching anything

Install and configure EMail client from Play store

Kernel - looks like this version of SK already uses the M Kernel so should be good there
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crim Soukyuu:
There is an updated, F2FS modified version of Slimkat in that thread around page 90 or something.

I'm using that at the moment and it's been fine I guess.

Word of warning: recents menu is bugged to secondary user acounts. Only shows apps if they have been also installed for the primary user.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reapman:
Yeah, I'm going to give myself a week or so on this older build and make sure it's stable before doing that. Definitely some stuff I miss from Lollipop in this, but if this is enough to breath new life into the tablet.. I'm willing to accept that loss :good:
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoy4:
So, I really really wanted to love this tablet. The disappointments have been many, but this focuses on the most severe and frustrating one.

Whenever I am using Dabbler, Skecthbook Pro, ArtFlow, or any other pen-enabled apps, the weirdest things start to happen. It works OK for a while, but then the tablet only starts receiving input from the stylus. Not even UI elements are usable with my fingers. PLEASE NOTE: I do know the tablet has a stylus-only mode, and this is NOT enabled. PLEASE ALSO NOTE: No, the stylus-only mode in the apps is not enabled either.

After a fresh reboot, I open the drawing app and everything works. Palm-rejection is gorgeous, pen accuracy is spot-on, multitouch gestures as pinch to zoom and panning work flawlessly. But after a while, or after I exit the app and return, it starts progressively degrading performance. At first it only accepts pinch to zoom like 50% of the time. Then it gets worse, until I can't do a thing without the stylus - not even the back, home and multitasking buttons.

I spoke with an nvidia tech support rep, and after a back and forth of emails (mostly me giving him info about the proof of purchase, serial number, etc) he told me to contact the seller (Amazon) and ask for a replacement.

I was about to go ahead and replace it, but I wanted to know if any of you are getting the same issues. On the latest official ROM, can everybody use Dabbler, Autodesk Skechbook, etc. for PROLONGED periods of time, and with a high tablet up time, without issues? Is this issue device-specific?

THANKS so much for any help and sorry for long post.

I have a question. when it boots up will it always give you the warning about

'the build being for development purposes'? Or have i missed something?

Yes. That's what it supposed to say.
[HTC Desire 610] ajg008:
just another question. I tried to update my phone via the RUU file that i thought was the correct one on the HTC website. Long story short it said that the RUU was the wrong type and never continued. I was hoping to update the software from 1.29.161.2 to something higher - think the ruu contained software level 3+ How do i go about this? The phone is an A3UL if that helps?
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Toward the bottom of the first post it'll give a link for a ruu. You need to relock your phone by putting it in fastboot then enter the command given. The rest is pretty easy, just run the ruu, follow directions and let it finish.

This wipes it so make a backup. Now you need to unlock it again and root. Just use the same unlock token you got from HTC.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flippin210:
Simple question, but I'm pretty much stumped..my boyfriend and I both have s5's, only mine is g900v (verizon) and his is g900a (att). His lock screen is secured by fingerprint, and he has the "lock screen after 10 minutes after screen turns off" checked, as well as "automatically lock screen with power key" checked. Now, I have the exact same options checked on mine. However, when he turns his screen off and back on within those 10 minutes, his lock screen is swipe. If I do that on my phone, it goes straight to whatever screen I had on before turning it off.

Anyone know what I'm missing here?

Fellow searcher for this function, im actually on an att model though lol.

I'll let you know if i ever figure this one out.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rakuu:
Just thought i'd add some info, i was on the dynamic kat rom, and this feature was present in version 3.0 which had an NG2 base, and after the update to 4.0 there was a rebase to NI2 and it was gone. I asked the dev, and he said it had to do with it being a ZH firmware, and that it was an XX feature, he's referring to the letters in the firmware i'd assume, G900F XX UING2. Thats as far as ive gotten though, he said he planned to rebase to a ZH firmware and then discontinued the rom before that happened.

I've recently unlocked an O2 XDA ii and its successfully working bar the fact that it won't call out or receive calls. Its sending and receiving text's etc.

I'm on the Vodafone network with PAYG. Is there something obvious i'm missing?

Its also keeps saying the phone is in Germany (and has a little G) in the signal bar at the top in the O2 active part of the software on the in "My XDA" keeps changing it back to Germany. I'm guessing this is where the call is messing up?

I keep changing it to UK and the phone keeps changing it back... any ideas how I can sort this little problem?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
If you want to update your phone, why are you trying to unlock its bootloader? Do you have re-locked your bootloader with a custom recovery installed? Unlocking the bootloader will wipe /data/preload folder and preventing the ota update to install... I do not really understand what you are trying to do here because you are not giving much information about the actual state of your phone...

Is your phone running the stock rom?

You have relocked the bootloader with a custom recovery?

please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove imei and serialno before posting)

What happens when you try to unlock the bootloader?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukocuk:
i can do flash unlock_code.bin, then it just deletes everything and im starting a fresh htc. In bootloader it then says tampered and relocked + s-on, it wont unlock it and even that it is locked, it wont update it to the newest official OTA update (7.19.401.2 / 804.78MB).

When it tries to enter recovery it isay: TAMPERED, RELOCKED and Security Warning , it just goes in the bootloader and not recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
do you have a custom recovery installed ?

if so, the only way you can unlock the bootloader is to flash the stock firmware to put stock recovery back on, you cant lock or relock the bootloader with custom software on your phone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
with the phone in fastbootUSB mode and the zip in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, issue these commands:

ps: its easier if you rename the download to just firmware rather than M7_UL_Firmware_6.09.401.11

fastboot oem rebootRUU (case sensetive) phone screen will go black with silver HTC logo

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (first time it might say failed: please flush again) so issue the command again

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

make sure it now says successful at the bottom - this is important

if so then,

fastboot reboot-bootloader

if not report back here first

when you get back to the bootloader, try and unlock it again, you may have to go back to HTCDev site and get a new unlock token.

ok follow these instructions I laid out for someone else if your looking to return to stock, they are exactly the same for your phone as your on the same firmware:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59273464&postcount=4

ps. you dont need to lock or relock your bootloader to update, you only need locked or relocked whilst s-on to flash firmware or run an RUU.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukocuk:
so all you need is a stock recovery to update OTA? When do i use firmware and RUU? Sorry my noobish questions, did read the guides but didnt get the idea fully.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
use firmware for when you have problems like you did earlier or if your s-off, earlier RUU's are only if your phone is S-off and saves all this messing around, its full firmware and rom in one package, if you were s-off, then we could of just flashed the corrisponding firmware to an RUU, ran the RUU, you'd then be 100% factory stock, just boot and update from there.

theres a bit more to it than just stock recovery, your rom has to be 100% stock, no root, no custom kernals or anything like that, no removed stock apps.

trouble is, when you unlock the bootloader, it deletes a hidden folder (data/preload folder) its HTC's little way of say, now you've unlocked, you can never update with us again, that backup will put all of that back on your phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukocuk:
So you gave me the firmware, its on the phone now.

I had Unlock.bin, but i can see it has supersu installed in it.

i flashed to stockrecovery from where you helped the other guy.

Im waiting for my download OTA update to finish (official).

Will i be able to update it even that i see its rootet (supersu)???
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
try it, but I think you'll have to follow that whole post of mine that I linked you too, superSU modifies system files to root, so the OTA may error out.

if it does error, you'll have to start from here "what you need to do is flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 from here:" and follow every step, you wont need that firmware that you downloaded earlier again, just dont lock your bootloader.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dukocuk:
you gave him https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473396067, what will it be on my phone? That other zip file you gave me? Is it that one i should install from recovery? If yes, why? Didnt i just installed it from RUU?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
same files for your phone, have a look at the version main on your fastbootgetvar all on the first page 6.09.401.11 that download is the same version main, M7_UL_TWRP_Nandroid_6.09.401.11_(inkl._preload-Ordner).rar and this part means it contains the data/preload folder (inkl._preload-Ordner)
