Polymer with cordova running slow

Question

I am trying to get my app started with android. I have all the HTML pages all ready designed. At first I tried running the polymer with phonegap - the result was very bad, it was very slow. So then I tried running the app with cordova only - I did that using this tutorial: https://blog.nraboy.com/2014/07/use-polymer-apache-cordova/ And still the result was not so good, better but still the app was slow.

So now I am wondering what to do? How to solve that problem? I don't know what framework I should use that would make the app run fast.
PS I don't know if that matters but the app is running on lg g3.

The best bet is to build your Android app using Intel's Crosswalk project. That enables all devices running Android OS 4.0+ to run with the latest Chromium in the WebViews, which will significantly improve performance. It's a bit of a hassle to include the Crosswalk project manually, but eg AppGyver offers it out of the box as a build option. See https://www.appgyver.eu
