Nexus 7 is slower!

[applover007]

It's my first android & I rooted it.. But it's slower now.. Apps crash, gets held up.. N worst thing is it takes forever to change the display orientation while rotating your tablet. Is this a normal price to pay for rooting or it's just how device and software is?

Sounds like you did something wrong.Maybe you should get support in the ROM support area.

I would suggest you keep at least 3GB of free space in your internal storage.

I have so much more than 3GB of free space

Did you flash a new ROM, or just root it?

I have newer 32gb Nexus 7 which slowed to a crawl with the 4.2 update. I had at least 10gb of free space, so that was not the issue. I tried clearing the caches, the lagfix app, system restore, and more, but nothing seemed to help. Performance was terrible.

I finally got sick of it and restored my Nexus to 4.1.2 Now it is running fast like it should. Some of the new features in 4.2 were neat and I miss them, but it made my Nexus unusable.

I just root it using the nexus root toolkit v1.6.2

Can I update to 4.2.2 while being rooted or I would have to un-root,install the update and root it again?
