If anyone wants me to upload rom...

    Took several months of debugging, testing, needlessly factory resetting and dropping/adding google account. But its now finally running without frustration again. I'm on 5.0.2 but that has next to nothing to do with my unlagging since I achieved this shortly after 5.0. I don't know why my...

    Is ART worth it?

    So I am looking into installing an ART compatible rom for my nexus 7, but I wonder will the performance be worth the hassle of apps and games not running. Any info would be nice, I know before lollipop it was definitely not worth it.
