AnkiDroid Getting Extremely Slow

[Mohammed S. AbuSafia]

Hello there Anki Team!

I hope everything is going well

I have recently updated my AnkiDroid to the latest version and since then the app became very slow to the extent that doing cards on it is extremely annoying.

I hope you will come up with a fix soon

Thank you for your efforts,

Mohammed

Hi there!

I will bet you a dollar that you are using Android 8 or 8.1...

We had a terrible tradeoff to make. Android 8/8.1 had an OS or WebView change recently that caused hardware rendering to break the reviewer on Android 8 only. No buttons.

We had to turn hardware render off for Android 8/8.1, slower now but works for most people

Alphas still hardware render https://docs.ankidroid.org/#betaTesting

In the future alphas will also have hardware render turned off by default for Android 8/8.1 but I will implement an advanced setting that lets you toggle it back on so you can determine your own tradeoff of "maybe does not work at all, maybe works fine" vs "slow"

-Mike

Please implement the advanced setting to toggle it back in the following version. Ankidroid 2.14.5 works just fine in my device.

Thanks in advance
