Welcome to the forum Markus.
And thank you for your message. Good to hear that you're enjoying G-Stomper Studio:)

Unfortunatelly, I do expect clicks and audio glitches (audio slows down) on my Nexus 7 2013, Android 5 Lollipop . A latency of 20ms did not work at all, finally I reduced tracks and set audio to normal mode with extended latency (80ms). Even then, the clicks did not vanish completely (but got much less compared to 20 or 40ms). Most disturbing are the audio glitches (slowdown/catchup of the audio speed).
My system is relatively clean with only a few apps installed. When I start G-Stomper Studio it is the only app running. This issue seems strange to me? Anybody has an idea?
First of all, what exact Android version are you running? 5.0, 5.0.1 or 5.0.2? Or any modded version?
Then, the first thing you should do is to reset the G-Stomper settings to the defaults:
System Settings / apps / G-Stomper Studio / Clear cache and data
When you did that, G-Stomper Studio comes up with 12 Sampler Tracks, 5 Synth Tracks, 4 Synth voices, AudioSystem = AudioTrack, SampleRate = native 48000Hz, and all other settings at the defaults.
Do you still notice the glitches then?
Regarding the lower latency (20ms): Yes, with the low latency setting, there may be clicks, depending on the Android version. But that should be really few. I have a nexus 7 2013 here for testing too, which runs completely clean on AudioTrack with all settings defaulted. But I also notice minor clicks with the lowest latency setting on OpenSL. What you can try is to enable the "use higher latency" checkbox in combination with OpenSL (that would result in 40ms). Think that should make it better.
Bottom line, it's all about performance. As more cpu headroom you give to the audio processing, as cleaner it runs (e.b. by disabling some of the animated ui components in the setup).
This guide gives a good direction:
