You deserve a collective hug from the entire community using the old Nexus 7. I have used many so-called solutions to the lag problem and yours is the only one that truly worked. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH for this wonderful video and for bringing back my Nexus from the dead.
thanks for this some good tips, what i found useful is disabling some of the google apps i never use for instance if you dont read books on your nexus just disable the google books app same with films etc this prevents them from running in the background, and starting up at boot. also get rid of old apps that you dont use cos they will run in memory as well. ive done this & my nexus runs alot smoother & cooler!
When I changed the animations to zero my tablet will now not even turn on. I tried the power button/volume button at the same time and nothing happens. How do I get my tablet back?
Thanks. Very helpful.I have a 2012. Installed a replacement battery. My other devices register 30-65 Mbps. The N7 clocks in at 5Mbps. The other devices display a long list of internet networks but the N7 shows only two.With your suggestions, once an app is opened the transitions are faster, but it is opening an item that is annoyingly slow..Any suggestions?
Hey dan great video it helped me out a lot with my laggy nexus. I had a question though, what is that background your using of the universe in your video? Thanks
Hey I don't have this kind of Nexus tablet I have Nexus 7 2013 one with Android version of 6.0.1 mind if you do a same video but with the tablet I have if you have one thanks 😊
Hey dan thanks for all your helpful videos and tips. I wanted to know what is that live wallpaper your using on the nexus 7 of universe in that video? Thanks
don't mean to be rude but it's stupid that you make a vid to make the tab faster and more efficient and you have a live wallpaper on. That consumes thrice as much RAM as closing the applications (not force close)
thanks man , this helped so much. I still see some lagging but not as much im certainly not as pissed off with the thing as I was a month ago or even an hr ago....... So if you have any more tips about delagging , please share need all the help I can get THNX AGAIN DUDE PS. would putting it back to factory reset & starting all over again help??
is it just this particular tablet (nexus 7 2012\13) that does this ,or do all smaller tabs do this? do I really need to purchase another small tablet (different brand)?? also I heard that 5.1 lolipop upgrade is suppose to fix this issue?? I hope this is true because I've been reluctant to download the next upgrade... For fear of having to clear out caches & shitt , and it still be slow or even slower
gabriel hernandez I would but it's near useless now. I have the first generation Nexus 7 and it lags, shuts down on it's own, wont turn back on at times, constantly freezes... It's the same thing with all of these devices it seems. After the 2-3 year mark it's all down hill.
Its so incredibly sad how badly these tablets have aged. They where amazing tablets when released, but both time and garbage nand flash have conspired to make these things almost unusable. Such an iconic device doesn't deserve this.
Agree whilst I tried these changes it just too slow. It's disgusting they purposely fill up the operating system with crap to slow it down. I may try to another os
dereksmallsuk Lolipop update wrecked my nexus 7. It is super slow and even these tips wont fix it. This update was more of a kill for the older devices.

I dont know why, but I had it running a bit smoother then when I did this it laged up on swipes, open and closing programs, soforth. I just reset the whole thing and starting a new.

Steve Mekler You're welcome. I love this tablet and this was the only thing that worked for me too.
Thanks this video helped me :)

The animation tip was the best trick to speed up my nexus 7 and even on my S4.
When I changed the animations to zero my tablet will now not even turn on. I tried the power button/volume button at the same time and nothing happens. How do I get my tablet back?

The animation changes to zero/0 made a big difference...my Google Nexus 7 is very much faster....many thanks...
Glad to help
Hey dan great video it helped me out a lot with my laggy nexus. I had a question though, what is that background your using of the universe in your video? Thanks
Not sure what it ia called but used an app called Zedge to get it.
Thank you sir, I appreciate it.
Your welcome.
Thanks alot man, my Nexus is running so much smoother/quicker now.
+Eric Sperry No problem
Thank you for sharing your video, I managed to fix my nexus 7 today. Bless you
+Suzanna Loma no problem
Hey I don't have this kind of Nexus tablet I have Nexus 7 2013 one with Android version of 6.0.1 mind if you do a same video but with the tablet I have if you have one thanks 😊
Unfortunately I don't have it, a lot of android videos might help you though. Similar features with them.
thanks a lot!!!..... did you know how to fix lagging on screen mirroning?
currents app ? I don't have it help
Does swiping apps off the recent list actually close them? I thought it just removed them from the recently used list...
Hey dan thanks for all your helpful videos and tips. I wanted to know what is that live wallpaper your using on the nexus 7 of universe in that video? Thanks
In the newest version of nexus there isn't currents :'( an ideas why and how I can get it?
As far as I know it was replaced by Google NewsStand. Not sure if you can bring it back but if you could I would assume you would need to be rooted.
don't mean to be rude but it's stupid that you make a vid to make the tab faster and more efficient and you have a live wallpaper on. That consumes thrice as much RAM as closing the applications (not force close)
I have the 32gb version but my tablet still runs like shit
They are getting old, as you update it’s going to slow down trying to handle the new features
Awesome! Thanks a million!!! Also worked for my Galaxy Nexus (not 7...) Cheers!
Erick Forero Your welcome. Happy it helped you out.
Thanks for the info. My device is running at full speed on 4.4.4 finally. Cheers
Scott Dreyfus Your welcome.
I sold mines recently, couldn't deal with the lagging and freezing. I probably won't be buying another Google Nexus is the future again either.
i dont have the currents app that you show at 1:51
Excellent!
Thanks!
thanks man , this helped so much. I still see some lagging
but not as much im certainly not as pissed off with the thing as I was a month ago or even an hr ago....... So if you have any more tips about delagging , please share need all the help I can get
THNX AGAIN DUDE
PS. would putting it back to factory reset & starting all over again help??
XMasie Thomas It might help but it might not. I have done that a few times and it is a bit faster for a short time.
is it just this particular tablet (nexus 7 2012\13) that does this ,or do all smaller tabs do this? do I really need to purchase another small tablet (different brand)??
also I heard that 5.1 lolipop upgrade is suppose to fix this issue?? I hope this is true because I've been reluctant to download the next upgrade... For fear of having to clear out caches & shitt , and it still be slow or even slower
thankx man for the tips ;)
Glad to help!
when te 5.0 android come,the legend say everyones nexus 7 tables lagging
U should review the nexus 7 on lollipop
gabriel hernandez I would but it's near useless now. I have the first generation Nexus 7 and it lags, shuts down on it's own, wont turn back on at times, constantly freezes... It's the same thing with all of these devices it seems. After the 2-3 year mark it's all down hill.
Mine was like that I had to restore I'm on lollipop 5.1.1 and its decent haven't had any crashes yet
gabriel hernandez I have restored it a few times now and it still keeps on the same path... I think it's dying.
Oh that sucks
gabriel hernandez Yeah, I am probably going to get the next generation of stock Android tablet.
thanks so much it helped a lot
+Richard H You're welcome.
Its so incredibly sad how badly these tablets have aged. They where amazing tablets when released, but both time and garbage nand flash have conspired to make these things almost unusable.
Such an iconic device doesn't deserve this.
Yeah I agree . I remember how excited I was when I got it and now it just sits there. Drove 45 min away to get it.
Agree whilst I tried these changes it just too slow. It's disgusting they purposely fill up the operating system with crap to slow it down. I may try to another os
Are you going to do any giveaways?
thx so much!
my tablet was so slow but now it is way faster

New android update made my nexus slower. I also hate the new keyboard bit.
dereksmallsuk Lolipop update wrecked my nexus 7. It is super slow and even these tips wont fix it. This update was more of a kill for the older devices.

use causation. this made my table worse not better.
How did it make it worse?
I dont know why, but I had it running a bit smoother then when I did this it laged up on swipes, open and closing programs, soforth. I just reset the whole thing and starting a new.
it definitely made a difference, /i was tempted to throw my tablet through the window
+moyolinux Glad it helped.
You speak very speed
Sorry this video was made when I was first starting out. I have tried to go slower
Ok cool :)
