Just update from the 5.2 version of shizukachanwa and seems to works well with a dirty flash.
Anyway, I have the 3Gb ram device, do you know any tweak to improve performance on this device? Android 13 is a bit laggy...

Is this app or UI that is laggy ? Because I know there are some issues with the Pixel App Launcher. If so I recommend you to use a third party launcher. If you are rooted with Magisk and wants to keep a launcher that looks like the stock Pixel App launcher you should see Pixel Launcher Extended that is really good and optimized

Now i'm using Nova launcher prime, but almost everithing is laggy. Now that I updated, the phone looks smooth and more usable, but I'm worried for the next days.

What did you update ? Did you update all apps from play store ? Did you format cache partition in recovery ?

I updated the rom from the 5.2 version to this 5.4, and yes, I format cache partition

And it's laggy rn or it was before. I don't really understand sorry

 

[Marcyvee]

It was before, as everitime I update the rom. Then it runs smooth for about one week, before become laggy again.

Ugh.. That's really weird, couldn't it come from an app that makes everything laggy ? I know that when I was on PEX all the UI were lagging due to Pixel App launcher. Is there something that drains your battery abnormally ? I could be from there

It coul'd be LSPosed. I'll keep it disable for a while, and then I'll update you. Thanks.

Thanks, @SharkB69y ! I jumped from 5.2 to 5.5 directly, is reTicker working for you? I can see no change after enabling and rebooting.
