Checklist

• Test in the latest git build in case it's already fixed.
• Search for other reports of the same issue.
• Try resetting settings or older versions and include if the issue is related.
• Try changing graphics settings to determine if one causes the slowdown.
• Include logs or screenshots of issue.

The latest version of Android made this a lot slower. Are you really using the latest git build? If the main screen shows "v1.13.2" instead of "v1.13.2-1711-g1fb7fe02b", you are not. The latest git build has 1711 improvements that you're missing, some of them help performance in this case.

But it's still going to be slower, especially on Android 11. Android made IO ridiculously slow. It can help to move it to internal storage or reset the storage folder in settings, but that only helps on some devices.

Okay, #16304 may help but not for creating a textures.ini. However, you'll have to do something different. Changes to the Android operating system have ruined performance of doing it the old way.

If you create a textures.ini like this, performance will be bad because of the way Android works.

However, now you can create a textures.zip instead. The textures.zip file should contain a textures.ini plus the images to use for replacement. This should perform a lot better.

The PNGs, everything has to be inside the textures.zip file. It's accessing the PNG files that is making it so slow.

Os PNGs, tudo tem que estar dentro do arquivo textures.zip. Está acessando os arquivos PNG que está tornando tão lento.
