It's easy to blame Kodi but.. Nah.. I've already explained this several times and there's a detailed explanation up on page one. The Kodi devs are not to be blamed.. Blame the shitty box manufacturers and their shitty firmware.. Excuse my language, just need to hit home hard. In the past, the Kodi devs have been using a lot of hacks and funny codes to make sure that earlier Kodi versions worked on most boxes. Due to low manpower and the amount of shitty devices out there, they can't afford to keep doing this as it considerably slows down the overall progress of the Kodi app. So, the solution to Krypton working well on these devices is that they get a firmware update that ensures compatibility with Android media standards. Provided the hardware is capable, this WILL work. The Minix Neo U1 has been Kodi friendly and works great even after the release of V17.3.. With no firmware update.. Which means it had a good firmware in the first place. So bug your device's manufacturers for a solution.. Kodi has implemented their solution and intends to move forward with it.

Maybe it is just my box, it cannot work well with latest Kodi 17 and it will crash my box. I had to unplug power cable to restart it.
Downgraded to Jarvis 16 and it works well now. Sigh.
It's precisely that.. Not all devices are equal.

to be honest, Krypton is a lot laggy-ier than Jarvis. Jarvis smoother. But because Krypton is safer, I updated it.
It's probably lagging cuz..
*Using a skin that your device can't drive smoothly.. Powerful devices have no issues driving heavier skins. If so, switch back to default or a more resource-friendly skin.
*installed a build on it.. I'm no fan of builds as they tend to come with a ton of crap I don't need.. I prefer a lean, mean installation instead.. A couple of verified addons and tweaked settings (advancedsettings.xml) and I'm good. Think about it, how much addons do you even need?

hmm no wonder. Minix neo u1 is on android 5.
Yes.. Not just any Lollipop firmware... A good one.

my jarvis can't load any movies/series on exodus or genesis reborn or icdrama (always get url unable to resolve etc error)...so i am thinking whether to upgrade it but fear of lagging
I'm able to content off Exodus.. Haven't tested Genesis Reborn, but expect no issues either.. Can't test Icdrama addons, cuz don't need it. However, tested azdrama's RSS method and still works.
