everything is rendered on the cpu
-
it seems like everything uses software for rendering, and the gpu is always idling
every application runs slowly and lags, drops a lot of frames, while cpu load is abnormally high
the web browser and any web apps are practically unusable due to this, any web page i open runs at like 5 fps
i've searched for this issue online but haven't found anything on it
after watching some youtube videos of how ut runs on the nexus 5 i think i am the only one to encounter this
is it a known issue at all, or have i run into some very specific configuration? it is like this on a fresh unmodified install too -
the issue is not present on 15.04, just confirmed it by downgrading
i like xenial more, where do i look to find the solution? -
UT should be smooth enough on a Nexus 5. System UI is hardware accelerated but media playback on any webview isn't. They should still be good enough though. How did you even downgraded to vivid? How are you installing UT?

@kugiigi i am using the ut installer
tried it from different computers running silverblue and opensuse, still run into the same result
i know the hammerhead is supposed to run ut well, i have been using it on vivid without problem, but when i installed xenial i noticed everything no more runs so well, even the ui is somewhat laggy, the frame drop is pretty noticeable where it wasn't present before -
@kugiigi The vivid channels weren't deleted, so you can still downgrade to 15.04 on the OpO and N5 along with some more devices.

@cirno That's strange. If anything, it should be smoother now. Have you tried fully reflashing (wiping data) if that's something you're okay to do?
I realized this is quite similar to my MX4. It suddenly felt so sluggish and charges so long. I already wiped it clean but still the same. Not really sure what happened to it. Maybe it's already a hardware issue. -
@kugiigi yes, i have tried full wipe and reflash and it still doesn't help
i don't think this is a hardware issue since ut vivid and android run fine -
@cirno Which channel is it? I will try on my Nexus 5.
-
@kugiigi stable, but all the other ones behave the same
-
@kugiigi so have you been able to reproduce this?
i am hoping the problem could be resolved soon, because i need to use alarms and reminders while also being able to occasionally look up information on the go
maybe you could tell me where can i see some logs related to it so i can try figuring out the reasons behind low performance? -
@cirno I have an old sysyem from feb 2023 and it was working fine though webviews are definitely sluggish. Can't remember if it was better before when I actually used it. I updated to the latest (04/2023) and I do noticed that the system is overall more sluggish. Not really sure what's happening here. I really wish the installer is capable of installing specific version. On the unsupported MutiROM on my Nexus 5, it's possible to specify which version to install so I think it should be technically possible.
