hi guys!

We need Gapps for this ROM ?
cause the Gapps i found for 7.1 gets the device too slow

without that it works perfect the rom even the cam/video recorder
radio all..

Indeed gapps has become heavier and heavier..
also, the device lacks ram (1gb Ram) & the emmc is also slow.

You could try:

Full wipes (backup your stuff first)
Flash rom + pico gapps arm 7.1
Clean cache + clean dalvik/art cache
Reboot


There's couple things Im around to take out all the juice I can out of this device
The latest GPU adreno blobs changes introduced , gave it an extra speed , and better UI overall

Cheers

Ok next release will have some changes to what concerns to zram / memory allocation
The current ( also on stock ) 512 mb of swap is too much for this device, taking out way too much precious (real) ram , up to +100mb of real ram used by the 512 mb virtual swap...

Ram is the one resource that needs more attention on this device..
