I am asking cuz I got the onyx now, and see they have "optimized apps", and if you want other apps, you have to go thru couple hoops to get Google Play, hence such Google Play apps will prolly not work that well.

So I wonder if random apps like Quizlet, AnkiDroid, will they likely work well from the get-go on the A5?

Havent tried exactly the apps you are looking for in my A5 with Google services installed. However, I am using quite some similar apps such as MS Outlook etc. and they work well. Particularly well, if I compare to how slow many of the non-optimized work on my Onyx Note Pro.

One thing that brings trouble though is, when an APP uses black background or a lot of dark solid elements. This does not slow but makes ghosting critical for reading.

Unfortunately, I have not found a way to make a forced refresh on the ROM with Google Play, making this issue with black backgrounds worse. I expected this on the eink button on the left, but it doesnt do anything.

So if anyone knows how to quickly do a forced refresh on the rooted A5, i would be very happy to know.
