Converted M8 Marshmallow extremly laggy sometimes

[liquidzorch]

Hello. I have an at&t edition M8. I decided to convert it to dev edition for a clean stock sense marshmallow upgrade. I used the oficial dev edition ruu, did a factory reset after, even though the ruu does it. But I seem to have way too much lag sometimes. I press the power button to activate the screen, sometimes the screen will turn on immeditaly, but other times it can take a couple seconds, long seconds. I have seen it take up to 5 seconds.

Sometimes when opening a conversation in whatsapp it will take about 5 seconds for the keyboard to start working. If I start to write before then, letters will be missing in the conversation I started to write.

In general for any app it can be laggy. But sometimes it can be very quick.

Aditional info:
Everything is stock except for root. I cant remember what kernel I installed to root it, is was in a guide here. Anyway I returned to stock kernel and still the same thing.
I have very little apps installed. Only basics like whatsapp, outlook and facebook, no twitter, instagram or any other social media.
I have everything I dont use turned off like NFC, bluetooth, voice controls.
I have tried clearing dalvik and cache, same issue. I have not tried factory reset since I dont want to reinstall and configure everything, plus this issue has happend since I installed the ruu on clean phone.

Any ideas?

No power saving mode at all. I tried changing the kernel to elemental, at first it was quick, but now I am starting to get the power button wake lag.

I wonder, did you S-OFF to make the conversion.?

Yes. It is S-off. All I did was change SID and install dev RUU. After that, root.

It prob means something's wrong with your firmware.
But I'm not too experienced to give you a definitive answer.

But if you search along the lines of Faulty/wrong firmware you might find something.

Is there anything I can run to log what is using the cpu in the backround? It is annoying since the lag isnt everytime I go to use it, so it is hard to diagnose. But it is getting on my nerve. Even durng a call or opening a text I have to wait a couple seconds sometimes. I never got this on the stock M7 I had before.

RUU re-writes all partitions to the proper software/firmware. So OP is on the correct firmware.

Go to developer options and you should find a button called "running services"
Maybe that will help.

If not then check your RAM, see how full it is.

I can see the runing services, but I cant tell wich one is the one using the cpu when I get the lag. I just uninstalled htc dot view ( I noticed it was running), but I doubt that would cause this, all other running programs are my usual programs. The only ones that are not are: CIRmodule 1.4mb, SmartcardService 1.2mb, Peel smart remote 15mb (which I almost never use, but boots with system). I have 500mb free ram with all my usual apps running.

It has been awhile but I have not had time to update the thread. I decided to do a full restore. I reinstalled the ruu, and did 2 factory resets afterwards. The phone is still super laggy. Sometimes I have nothing running and I unlock the phone and it takes forever to enter any app. Especially whatsapp, which is the app I use the most, I hardly use the phone for facebook or any other apps. I have most other apps closed (not running in backround). I recieve a message and some time it takes forever to open it. I wanted to try and downgrade to lollipop, but if I go through all the trouble to downgrade and stays the same I might throw the phone against the wall. The HTC m7 never had any lag at all. And I have a desire 626 that I feel is even faster than this m8.
