How To: Stop Android Lag in Its Tracks on Your Nexus 7 for a Super Smooth Tablet
Lag has been a serious issue on Android devices since the very beginning. Even the Nexus 7's quad-core processor can't stop it from happening. That's because the pauses and long responses are coming straight from the Android OS itself, not the hardware.In part articles, I've shown a few ways to stop lag on your Nexus 7, including blocking ads and overclocking, but today I'm going to show a better way to kill it—using a custom ROM. This one is called SmoothROM, built by dev Jamesst20, and if you can't tell by the name, it makes your Nexus 7 super smooth and lag-free.

Using SmoothROMHere it is installed and running! At first glance, SmoothROM is exactly the same as any other stock-looking ROM—until you start using it. Menus fly open, the app drawer never seemed so smooth, and there are a plethora of settings to tweak for any would-be SoftModder. Plenty of past mods are already incorporated in this ROM, such as custom kernels, 720p front-facing camera, ad-blocker, and tablet UI. This ROM has it all!In my testing, the SmoothROM was as stable as stock, only much smoother and faster. There were plenty of customization options in Settings -> ROM Control, but the defaults were good enough for me.
