Animations lag on android (smooth on iOS?)

I’m also seeing very jerky page transitions on Android. It has gotten better in the past few betas but it’s far from feeling like a native app. Also when pulling out the side menus it’s pretty slow to respond, then the slide animation is kinda jerky.

I’ve only tested this with my nexus 5 running Android L run directly from Ionic CLI. Runs perfectly fine on iOS, seems like a native app.

Do any of the ionic guys have an actual Android device @mhartington? I feel like this might not be reflected on an Android simulator with the proper x86 extensions.

Edit: I’ve also found that some other Ionic applications like Sworkit run fine on my Nexus 5. I think they could be compiled using crosswalk because of its enlarged (>20MB) size. Do you know if that’s the case?
