Thanks, I'll give it a shot..

Here's what I'm doing and I'm quite happy with it. TWRP 2.8.7.0, CM12.1, open gapps pico.
I used TWRP to format data and cache to f2fs. I rooted and I installed the Trimmer app linked above and have it scheduled to run twice a day. I initially installed the Google app (Google Now, Launcher, Voice search) but found that it was too much for this tablet so I removed it. I have plenty of other Google services and apps installed (Gmail, Photos, Chrome, Books). I also found Tinycore to be useful. It shows the CPU utilization in the status bar.

U should try below lollipop ROM
Feels smoother for me than any other KitKat or lollipop ROM

To increase the performance of the N7(2012) unrooted model, you must remove any ram hungry apps. I've done this and mine has been pretty much lag free, considering the age of the hardware.

yes if you have facebook and tunein running in the same time whatever config you have you gonna wait for a long time lol

I went into the "Accounts" --> "google" and I unticked "google fit data" "slides" and "sound search for Google play" this has significantly increased performance and stability of my nexus 7(2012). I did this while experiencing crawling performance speeds with the UI and occasional freezes. Immediately I saw an increase in performance after doing this. Will someone else try this and see if they get the same results? Thx.

Guys I bought this oldie for my dad to run car navigation. Stock 4.4 and 5.1 runs very slow and is a real pain to use. Which ROM/kernel/recovery/whatever combo do you recommend for a light user that's only going to use Gmaps/Sygic, Gmail and Chrome? CM12.1 + pico Gapps?

Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunatelly, after flashing it my Nexus worked even slower than with CM12.1. Ultimatelly I flashed OmniROM (based on Android 4.4) and now it's finaly - usable.
Using virtually any Lollipop ROM (whether it's AOSP or CM based) Google Maps app is extremely choppy and practically useless. Pinching and zooming, moving left-right, ... - everything is slow. With OmniROM it's much much better. And since my dad never had a tablet (nor smartphone) he won't miss the fancy UI and fonts from Lollipop.

OK so I'm not rooted and the N7 is getting so its unusable with the lag.We only use it as a media device to stream netflix etc to TV ,so thinking of rooting it ,but installing a stable customnrom to sirt it out ,any suggestions and is marshmallow working on it

[HOW TO] Flash on Nexus 7

I saw this yesterday and thought I'd share:
http://www.nkonecny.com/blog/2012/07/19/adding-flash-to-nexus-7/
Download Adobe Flash Play 11.1 apk here or download it from XDA Developers. After the file has downloaded open and install it.
Please be sure that “Install from unkown sources” is checked off in the Android settings for the Nexus 7.
Install Firefox Beta browser from the Android Market.
That’s it, now you have Flash support on your Android 4.1 (JellyBean) Google Nexus 7 tablet! Couple things to note:
1. This will NOT work with the current build of Google Chrome. A dev may fix this in the future but Google nor Adobe will be adding Flash support to any future builds of Android. I’ve also tried: ICS+ Browser and Dolphin Browser HD, both of which don’t work with the method used above. FireFox seems to be the only browser currently that works with the flash plugin in Android 4.1.
2. that by default FireFox Beta has plugins set to on demand which can cause some minor inconviences, however you can remedy this by going to:
FireFox Beta settings (three dots to right corner) -> Settings -> Plugins -> Select: Enabled
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After flash was installed, I just had to quit completely out of Firefox (top right menu -> quit) then reopen it and it worked fine.
The posted apk will also allow flash content on the stock browser as well. Great post thank you.

What do you mean it will allow flash on the stock browser? Do you mean flash will work on chrome? Is this apk an different than the other flash apk's that have been posted in the last couple days?

To head off the inevitable....Flash will not work on the Play Store version of Dolphin as they disabled it on Jellybean. You'd need to side load an older apk.
Firefox Beta and xScope Browser from the Play Store do however work providing you side loaded Flash.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Well this version does work on my nexus 7 and the stick browser kinda.... I notice on certain sites the video freezes at some point while playing 8 out of 10 times. Doesn't at all on my gnex. So it works just not well with some sites not sure why.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Hi Nexus 7 owners....
I'd just like to share my personal experience on the issue...
I tried 3 browsers with the above version of flash.
1.dolphin hd
2.firefox beta
3. puffin
Now, for dolphin, it is fast, but if you try to press that little square icon that takes you to fullscreen mode, the browser crashed every single time at least for me.
As far as puffin is concerned, it was the worst because the videos were laggy and it didn't even respond to the fullscreen icon. (must admit though loading times on this thing, if you dont care about the flash issues, are blazing!!!)
Firefox although loads heavy pages by far the slowest, was the only one from the three that had no lag and the fullscreen icon worked!!! So, until now, thats my choice for flash vids.
What I did notice on all of them, was that the sound of the vids was pretty lower than usual. Anyone else witness this????
Oh, and another thing so there wont be misunderstandings...
There are other ways ofcourse to do the whole flash thing, MAYBE even for stock browser from what a friend tells me, BUT that requires rooting the device. (just for the record)
Many thanks to XDA and everyone else and please share your thoughts on the sound issue and also if you find a browser that does the job like firefox beta, but FASTER!
Do you guys try flashify in market? It uses is like this:
1.whenever you open the flash page with chrome
2.press share
3.choose flashify
4.choose another browser that got flash
It's easy so you no need to use firefox all the time because it's really slow

concerning firefox beta
Unfortunately, although I stated that firefox beta was the only browser that the fullscreen icon on flash video, worked without crashing, that is not the case anymore after the last update on Oct 11, 2012.
If anyone can post the apk of the previous version I would be oblidged.
Ps. Flashify does come in handy if one wants to keep chrome as deafault browser (which is advised) and simply switch to a flash capable browser like firefox without copy-paste but with a couple of clicks.
---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------
Ok, problem solved. Although I dont see many N7 owners too troubled with this issue, I did make a few more "test drives" and it seems like firefox beta version 16.0 is the one to go with. (Along with the rest of the steps pre-mentioned here, that goes without saying.)
Fullscreen works and generally it seems less laggy than any other. (concerning flash videos ofcourse.)
The apk can easily be located via google.
Download directly from the tablet, install it and.... happy flash and with fullscreen working fine!

Stay with 4.2 if want all your apps to work

Okay here some advice
1st I manually updated to 4.3 and Now I regret it .
word of advice stay with 4.2 till it works with all your Apps

My Top apps don't work at all
(1) Hola!
(2) MX Player
(3) Crome Beta
(4) Franco kernel

I was on the official stock 4.3 image, non rooted. Watching recieved snapchat videos would cause the phone to reboot every now and then. While charging with a USB cable, it would happen at least once every 10 minutes. It happened while the phone wasn't charging too, but not as often. Back on 4.2.2 Rasbeanjelly now until better kernels and custom ROMS come out for 4.3. Oh and I did a clean flash. Backed everything up and wiped everything, including the internal storage.
I just want to add that if you are using jawbone up band, that will not sync after 4.3 either. I have gone back to 4.2 for now

Hangouts is laggy

Hell everyone i don't know if anyone else has experienced this but my hangouts is laggy compared to my nexus 5, brothers Sony z3, and my cousins nexus 6. It's noticeable and annoying. I'm running fire Kat v5 it was laggy also before the root and Rom. I'm asking if anyone else has experienced this and if there's a fix. Right now I'm using gosms pro and it's actually faster but I'd rather use hangouts.
One last thing.
I had this experience with the galaxy s4 but my power button gets stuck a lot and it doesn't click but still works. Sometimes it will fix itself and start clicking again

I tried uninstalling updates to Hangouts and it seems to have reduced the lag for me for the most part. Maybe this is worth trying until the fix it.
It's the app, it turned laggy ever since the new update. When I had my Lg G3 it never lagged. Composing a text is extremely laggy
It's lady on 3 devices I have right now. Including one on lollipop. I think the app is just not running smooth right now.

Tried and just tried again still same thing for me
It is laggy on my N4 also. It was laggy on my n2. I read in other forums that it is the app. For me my keyboard lags and moving in and out between different text becomes slow and laggy. I read in another forum that clearing cache and data through application manager settings will help the problem. I've found that it only temporarily fixes it then goes back to being laggy. I've uninstalled and cleared cache and dalvik cache... then reinstalled it but that was only a temporary fix... because again it begins to lag after a while. I really think only google can fix this.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
Yea, pretty laggy for me too. I think it's something with TW. Using the same versions on a Nexus 5, it ran perfect.
In fact, Hangouts is laggy, and Chrome has a lot more lag to it than it did on the N5 also, even though it's got more RAM and cpu on the Note4.
No exposed here, just rooted and debloated a lot to try and fix some of it.
Try the xposed module xhangouts
