cordovaSQLite retrieving data slowly using ionic framework

I am making an application using the ionic framework and I am using sqlite to store a list of about 150 rows. Each row has two attributes, ID and Name.

Now I am retrieving this data using a database factory which runs a query.

It works, however when I test it on an my Galaxy Tab 3 the list takes about 5-10 seconds to load and once it it loaded the list it super laggy scrolling through the list items.

Here's my controller

.controller('ActionSearchCtrl', function($scope, ActionSearchDataService, DBA, $cordovaSQLite){

    var tablet = true;
    var query = "select action FROM actions;";


    $scope.items = []; 

    $scope.runSQL = function(){
        DBA.query(query).then(function(result){
            $scope.items = DBA.getAll(result);
        });
    }; 

    if(tablet){$scope.runSQL()};

Here's my Database Factory

.factory('DBA', function($cordovaSQLite, $q, $ionicPlatform) {
  var self = this;

  // Handle query's and potential errors
 self.query = function (query, parameters) {
    parameters = parameters || [];
    var q = $q.defer();

    $ionicPlatform.ready(function () {
      $cordovaSQLite.execute(herbsDatabase, query, parameters)
      .then(function (result) {
        q.resolve(result);
      }, function (error) {
        console.warn('I found an error');
        console.warn(error);
        alert(error.message);
        q.reject(error);
      });
    });
    return q.promise;
  }

  // Proces a result set
  self.getAll = function(result) {
    var output = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < result.rows.length; i++) {
      output.push(result.rows.item(i));
    }
    return output;
  }


  // Proces a single result
  self.getById = function(result) {
    var output = null;
    output = angular.copy(result.rows.item(0));
    return output;
  }
  return self;
})

So the query returns about 150 entries which I need all on one page (I've looked into infinite scrolling and pagination but my client wants all the items on one page so this is not an option. From what I've read, 150 entries shouldn't be too slow in terms of watchers as I am using ng-repeat for the list items to display. If anyone has a way I can display this many items using the cordovaSQLite plugin to make the list function quicker let me know! at the moment the list is pretty much unusable, I've tried it on other devices too and it has the same result.

I've also tried creating about 200 dummy objects in the controller (without making a call to the db to get data) and the performance is fine. That's why I am thinking it's an SQLite performance issue. This is my first post on here so apologies if I am not clear enough.
