Hi,
Thank you for this article, I disabled the Google currents but still slightly laggy.
For me did not worked well…

If he was just trolling, then there wouldn’t be a dedicated article to this lag including a fix.

I would like to confirm that this fix does work, my app drawer and home screen were stuttering

Ugh, dealing with this issue myself right now. My Nexus 7 was smooth as hell before…

They’ll never replicate the speed and stability of iOS and its devices.

I was actually annoyed that my super buttery Nexus 7 became laggy and choppy at times, especially when pulling up the app drawer or my notification drop downs. Disabling currents completely in the apps menu resolve this for me. My tablet feels like it was on 4.1 right out of the box. Snappy, smooth, nearly no hesitations. I like the currents reader, but I like having a snappy tablet much more.

This isn’t the problem. I’ve had Currents disabled since the launch issues with low space caused lag. I updated to 4.2, have lag again and double checked Currents to see that it was still disabled. Lag is here once again. I’m guessing those who had success with this fix never had or noticed the original lag issues.
