After I upgraded to Nougat, the boot animation lags, even of it's just some frames, its weird because on Marshmallow this did not happen.
(Swiftkey and some other apps, but not games, also kinda lag a bit)
Any solution other than downgrading?
NOTE: I restored factory settings some times just to see.what happened, and it got better a little bit each time... lol but im not going to wipe this again

This is a bug that plagued Android since Gingerbread. And I experience this too sometimes in Nougat when I mess up with the system. Have you rooted your phone? If yes, did you do some system modifications?

I don't have any lag at all. Maybe it's a third party app that's hogging your memory and slowing the phone down

I did not do any modification. The phone is brand new, stock.
I have a video, but I have no ideia on how to post it here...

It'll be fixed with time I guess
That does not make any sense... What do you mean?

You can upload it in Youtube and post the link here. But it is not necessary because I understood the problem. I haven't seen the stock recovery of Huawei. But you can boot to recovery, and wipe dalvik cache if the choice is present. If not, I'm afraid you have to do a factory reset if you really want to fix the problem.

Wiping cache did not really solve the problem. But eh, I think I can survive with this... its not that kind of problem.
There you have the EMUI stock recovery. (In my opinion, its the coolest I have seen)
Do you know if EMUI 5.1 is coming to the Honor 6X? Maybe this gets fixed in that version...

Cache is a little different than dalvik cache. Wiping dalvik is present in TWRP. I'm not sure about the 5.1 update for 6X, I am yet to see news about it, but you should receive some security and system updates which, hopefully, should solve the boot animation issue.

I know that, but they could have included dalvik in that option. Also, let's hope for a lot of security updates

as mutch is animation lagged? I know is hard to explain, but I think is it normal (nothings bad, everybody have little bit boot animation lagged)
In my opinion it is, because I remember that it was smoother before marshmallow... but if you say everyone has it a little laggy, I think I feel better now xD

Is your boot animation different than mine? on the Nougat B360 firmware I had a huawei boot animation (the one with the ripples with the huawei logo showing) and on the B367 firmware its now a honor logo that flows to the right.

Yeah... My boot animation is unusually laggy/choppy after I updated to Nougat, quite unfortunate..
Even though this answer is "quite" late, I'm actually glad to hear I'm bit the only one...

I hope they do what they promised, arrive Oreo to this device before the end of January and possibly fix this.
