Once the device has been purchased, it almost always works quickly and pleases its owner. But once we use the device for several months, we begin to notice a strong drop in performance, and sometimes even serious freezes. This makes it difficult to use the gadget comfortably, so today we will tell you how to speed up your Android phone. Let's get started.

So, below we will discuss all the ways to optimize your device, and for convenience we will sort them into categories.

Clearing application and browser cache

Cache is temporary files that are formed during the operation of both the operating system itself and various programs. It is important to regularly clear such data, as it greatly slows down the performance of the OS.

Let's look at the cleaning process:

1. We'll use a third-party app since every device has its own cleaning functionality. Therefore, we are opening our Play Market.

1. In the search bar you need to write “CCleaner”, and when the result appears, tap on it.

1. Next, simply click the green button that says “Install”.

1. The application will require access to system functions. Without them, it simply cannot work. Therefore, we resolve everything by tapping the “Accept” button.

1. The program weighs only 5 MB, so it will download quite quickly.

1. All we have to do is click “Open” and proceed to the cleaning procedure.

1. When CCleaner opens, click the big button marked in the screenshot.

1. The scanning of the smartphone's internal memory will begin. Fortunately, the Android operating system does not have a long-suffering registry.

Attention! If the device has Root rights, the analysis will be much deeper and, accordingly, of higher quality.

1. When the scanning comes to an end, we will be asked to choose what exactly should be deleted. It is recommended to select all checkboxes. When the setup is complete, click “Cleaning”.

The removal of unnecessary files and cache that has accumulated in the OS will begin.

As a result, your smartphone will be completely cleaned. To complete the operation, you must reboot the device.

Power Mode

This parameter can also play a big role in the operation of the green robot, the load on its hardware components and, naturally, the rate of battery discharge. Let's look at how to set up gentle mode.

1. Lower the curtain and find the settings icon there.

1. Go to the section responsible for power supply. We show the process using the example of a smartphone with the MIUI 9 shell; in other models and interfaces what you see may be slightly different.

1. Tap on the “Nutrition” sign.

1. Here is the section we need. This is "Energy Saving". Let's press it.

1. There are 2 switches here. The first is responsible for saving energy, the second can automatically activate it depending on the battery charge level. It is also possible to configure the function to be turned on and off at different times of the day. For example, at night, when we use Android the least, it can be activated.

Setting up GPS

As is known, receiving data from orbital navigation satellites requires significant energy consumption. Very often, users simply forget to turn it off and waste battery power in vain. Sometimes third-party applications activate GPS on their own, without the person even knowing about it.

In order to turn off showing our location, you need to lower the Android notification menu and turn off the corresponding toggle switch.

Freeing up memory

Modern smartphones use both internal memory and a separately connected card. Both can lose all free space, which will lead to inevitable slowdown of the device. At the same time, you won’t even understand what your flash drive is “clogged with.” Below we will demonstrate how to understand the situation and delete unnecessary data.

1. We will work with a third-party solution called DiskUsage. You can download the application on its home page or through the search. To do this, you just need to click the “Install” button.

1. Next, accept the access request by clicking on “Accept”.

1. And we launch the program by pressing the button indicated in the screenshot.

1. Initially, you need to select the media to scan. We have internal memory and the firmware itself (since we have Root access). In versions with a memory card, this will also be displayed in this menu. We tap on the drive that we are going to analyze.

1. A short scanning process will follow.

1. A map of disk files appeared in front of us. On the left side there is the root section. It says "Memory Card". Further (moving to the right) we see directories: accordingly, folders are also displayed in them. The whole point of this approach is to display the size of the tiles depending on the space occupied. The larger the square, the more data it contains. Tap on one of the directories and the tree will increase exactly to its size.

1. By moving in this way, we will reach the end of the chain and find out which files and folders take up the most space. As a result, when we open the directory, we will gain access to it directly from the standard file manager and will be able to delete any data.

About memory cards

The speed of a device running Android OS also depends on the bandwidth of its storage devices. If the internal memory is factory rated, external cards may be too slow.

Below you can see a table that shows the average speeds of drives depending on their class.

Drive class	Speed ​​MB/s
2	2
4	4
5	4.8
6	6
10	10
15	15
20	20
22	22.5
30	30
40	40
45	45
60	60
90	90

The class of the device is indicated on its body. This way you can immediately determine how fast your flash drive is.

By comparing the reading and writing speed that the device supports with the speed of the memory card itself, we can find out whether it is enough.

Attention! If Micro SD performance is not enough, the smartphone will simply start to become “stupid”.

Services

While the Android operating system is running, a number of services necessary for its functioning are launched. Your programs also run in parallel, taking up RAM and consuming battery power. Naturally, the operation of the device slows down.

Let's look at how to clean up such processes:

1. Depending on your shell on a standard system, launching the task manager may differ. For example, in products from Xiaomi, you need to press the menu button to do this. Once this is done, we will see a list of all running programs in the form of tiles.

1. To quit one of the applications, simply pull it to the side. All programs are stopped simultaneously using the button indicated in the screenshot.

As a result, we freed up approximately 253 MB of RAM, which will have the best effect on the speed of the phone.

Attention! Depending on the phone model and its OS version, the appearance of the control elements and the sequence of actions may change. For example, in Google Nexus or Samsung the menu looks different.

Removing system applications

Many smartphones come with a number of pre-installed programs, some useful and some not so useful. This is sometimes annoying, because all the installed software takes up a lot of space, and we cannot remove it. The situation is completely different with devices on which root rights have been obtained. Here you can permanently remove unnecessary software and increase the speed of your system.

Let's look at an example of working with one of these programs.

1. Launch the Play Store and enter the phrase “App Quarantine” into its search bar. Next, tap on the element indicated in the picture. We have also prepared a direct link for you.

1. On the application home page, click “Install”.

1. Let's launch the program and get down to business. Mark the items that we do not need with a tick. Next, click on the lock icon, which we designated in the screenshot with the number “2”.

1. Then we will have to grant Root rights to the application.

1. As you understand, not all programs are displayed in the list: various, purely system applications are hidden by default. However, they can also be displayed. To do this, go to the App Quarantine settings by clicking the button marked in the screenshot.

1. Here we select the “Filter” menu item.

1. Switch the checkbox and checkmark to the active position.

Ready. Now all system utilities will begin to appear in our list and can be disabled. For example, if you don't use a printing service, you won't need it.

Important! Using this application you can not be afraid of harming your OS. The fact is that all disabled components can be reactivated and put back into operation.

Some system applications can be disabled without root rights. You just need to use the built-in functionality. Let's figure out how this is done.

1. Let's move on to the settings of our gadget.

1. Select the section for managing applications.

1. Click on one of the unnecessary programs.

1. Already here we find a button responsible for disabling the software. For us, it is inactive: it all depends on the application itself and the phone’s firmware.

Important! Sometimes the button becomes inactive when the program to be removed has an update or is running. Accordingly, it needs to be stopped and the update removed.

Synchronization is the process of automatically pairing with the server and exchanging data with it. For example, this is how you receive messages from social networks, upload data to the cloud, or simply receive other information in the allotted time intervals. Naturally, the more often network requests occur, the greater the load on your phone will become. Let's look at how to minimize it.

1. Let's move on to the settings of our gadget. To do this, simply pull down the notification shade and select the icon marked in the picture below.

1. We look for the “Synchronization” item in the menu and go to it. In different models and firmware, things may be a little different.

1. Next, we can either disable the function completely or activate it only when connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Firmware update

As you know, timely software updates not only improve its performance, but also take care of your safety. The same applies to the firmware and programs installed on the device. The latest versions are much faster and more stable than the old ones. So, let's look at what can be done in this situation.

1. First, let's try to update our firmware. To do this, go to the settings.

1. We need the “About phone” item, click on it.

1. The installed software version is shown here. At the very bottom there is a button to check its new versions. We tap on it.

In other models of Android smartphones and tablets, the check for updates item may have a different name and change position.

1. Next, you will search for updates on the official website of your phone. We just need to wait a little.

1. In our case, the latest version of the software is installed. But this is not surprising, because we carefully and promptly monitor this.

Now let's make sure that all programs installed on the smartphone are also up to date.

1. To do this, go to the Play Store by tapping on its icon.

1. Open the main menu and select “My applications and games”.

1. As you can see, Google mail needs updating. Click the marked button.

1. The installation process of the new version will begin. We are waiting for its completion.

After this, you can be sure that all the software installed on our device is up-to-date and does not slow down Android.

Removing unnecessary software

Often, many programs that we have installed cease to be used over time. But such software “hangs” in RAM all the time and “slows down” our gadget. Let's remove programs that we won't use anymore.

1. Initially, you need to open the already familiar section with settings.

1. We are looking for an item to manage programs: in Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x it is located here.

1. We choose software that is irrelevant.

1. Scroll down the contents of the screen and click the “Delete” button.

You can immediately clear the program cache or stop it.

1. All that remains is to confirm your plans by pressing the “OK” button.

Mobile connection optimization

Users who have a network connection that is not very fast, for example, GPRS or EDGE (2g), may experience problems with Internet access. We will give one piece of advice that will make the situation easier. Please follow the instructions below carefully.

1. Let's open our application store: it is this that can cause problems.

1. Open the menu and scroll its contents almost to the very bottom. We need the “Settings” item.

1. Next, select the section that we circled in the picture with a red line.

1. Here you need to set the download mode for programs and their updates only when connected to a Wi-Fi network. In this way, we will make the smartphone’s operation easier and improve its performance.

Results and comments

Let's finish here. We have considered all the methods that can help in the matter of speeding up an Android smartphone. If we forgot something, you can supplement the picture with a relevant comment: additional information will be useful to both us and other users.

Video

Android devices, like all other gadgets, tend to age. This doesn't just happen physically - long-term use can also reduce productivity, forcing you to consider a new phone. But, you can return your smartphone to its former performance by following a few steps.

Remove and disable unnecessary applications

Like many, you probably have too many apps on your Android smartphone. We all download apps without even thinking about the consequences. After some testing, we realize that we don’t need them and we happily forget about them.

This is good when you have a lot of space on your phone's memory, which allows you to not think about the number of installed applications. But for some, it's the small memory that creates problems, not to mention the fact that applications can be running in the background. Unused apps are definitely a resource drain, so just get rid of them. You can do this using the Application Manager in Settings.

Clear cache data

Not sure what cached data is? Well, this is a good thing as it actually speeds up the device. By storing some data locally, the system can reduce loading times and avoid having to download the same data from the Internet every time you enter a website address or launch an application.

The problem is that the cache can grow enormously and become a rather heavy burden on the internal memory of your Android smartphone or tablet. Try to clean it from time to time. The option is available for individual applications through the application manager. You can also find cache cleaner apps on Google Play.

Clear memory Android

Chances are you have a lot of music, videos, and other files to remember. Full internal memory can affect performance, so try to keep your phone's memory as neat and tidy as possible. Take the time to go through all your files and finally decide to delete old videos and photos that are no longer valuable to you. In any case, you will not open them more than once a year.

Reducing the number of widgets

Widgets are very convenient tools, but they can be huge resource consumers and slow down your device. These information windows constantly retrieve data and view updates. Try to keep your use of Android widgets to a minimum. Of course, you shouldn't limit yourself completely, since, after all, widgets are some of the coolest things Android has to offer. But, if you do not yet have a flagship smartphone in your hands, then you should use the capabilities of the OS in proportion to the resources of your device.

Removing live wallpaper

Live wallpapers are another beautiful Android feature that does not contribute to the performance and cleanliness of an Android smartphone. Live wallpapers undoubtedly make a smartphone look attractive, but they affect not only performance, but also battery life. Just replace the animation with a beautiful photo or picture.

Software update

Have you been putting off installing an update that constantly reminds you in the notification area? Although, the fault often lies with Google itself - the company has never been able to provide an effective mechanism for updating its OS. But in reality, even an OTA update can fix some bugs and introduce performance improvements. Make sure your Android phone software is always on the latest version available.

Disable animation and GPU acceleration

Android has settings options hidden from prying eyes that will help increase the responsiveness of the device. To do this, go to the "About phone" item in the settings menu. Click several times on "Build Number". You will receive a notification that you have become a developer. After that, go to the "For Developers" menu, turn on the switch at the top and select "Window: Zoom", "Item: Zoom" and "Animation Speed". Disable animation in them or set the minimum value.

The next step will be to speed up the graphics chip. To do this, you just need to check the "GPU acceleration" box. These steps should give you a feeling of improvement in performance speed.

Obtaining Root rights

If you really want to go all in and open the door to a whole new range of possibilities, you can root your phone. Once you have full access to your device, you can achieve better performance by clearing the memory of unnecessary pre-installed apps. You can even overclock the processor and make it work faster, which will significantly affect the speed of applications on your smartphone.

But you need to keep in mind that these methods are not for the faint of heart. Rooting can be a complicated process and may void your warranty. Not to mention, you might turn the device into a useless pile of plastic and metal. If you still want to go this route, follow the reliable instructions.

Reset

Phones get old, but that's not the reason they get slower over time. The reason lies inside your smartphone's software. Giving him the opportunity to start over from scratch every now and then is not a bad idea. If all the previous tips did not help, then it is better to decide to reset to factory settings.

What is a factory reset? This is pretty much a method where you erase all the data on your smartphone and leave only the pre-installed software. Therefore, it makes sense to back up all the data on your device.

The option is located in the phone settings in the "Backup and reset" section. There are also ways to do a factory reset using the recovery menu, but the steps vary for each phone. In this case, Google is your best friend.

Conclusion

Now, if none of this works, then maybe it's really time to look at a new device?

On the pages of our website you can look through reviews of the best Android smartphones and choose the device that suits you best.

Good morning to all, dear friends, acquaintances, readers and other individuals. Today we’ll look at how to speed up Android, all sorts of applications for it and games like PUBG Mobile, including

It’s no secret to many that we love to twist and tinker with something, which sometimes results in all sorts of interesting things or strange oddities. However, often the efforts bring great benefits and your devices begin to run an order of magnitude faster.

Now we are witnessing an interesting story when the development of the hardware computer industry has reached its logical (and not so logical) peak and all technologies (including software) rushed into the sphere of mobile devices.

It’s the latter that we’ll talk about today.

Introductory

Everyone has probably heard about all sorts of developer modes in Android, which allow you to do something tricky in the settings.

These attitudes really exist and they really allow you to use cunning tricks. The only question is whether it will be beneficial or not, and to whom, in fact, - you, your battery, performance, or some developer.

Nevertheless, an attempt is not torture. Firstly, the phone can be made faster, and secondly, everything will run faster in 3D games (with the release of PUBG Mobile, everyone is directly obsessed with this idea), and in general, it’s interesting and pleasant.

As for possible side effects, everything is simple. In some cases, of course, everything goes great, fun and in every possible way for the benefit. Productivity is growing, acceleration is present, PUBG flies, the phone's launcher is immensely happy, and you, as its owner, write good comments under this article, tell your friends about it and all that other stuff.

In all other cases, you should understand that a lot depends on the hardware in your Android phone, tablet, or whatever you plan to run and use it all on - so it’s a question of technology.

And yes, you should understand that performance may decrease and battery consumption will increase. How to fix it? Return everything back, disable settings.

How to speed up Android and launch developer settings

Total we need " Multiprocess WebView", - this is one of the extremely important points that will speed up the system as a whole, although it may have a negative impact on battery life.

How to speed up Android even more? And is it visually clear? The same applies to the point " SD card optimization", if of course you even have it (the card) and the item in general).

Further, if you are not a fan of all kinds of animations, then it would be extremely rational to disable the animation of windows and transitions and remove the duration of the animation. This will save resources by an order of magnitude, and visually (subjectively and in terms of sensations) your phone will immediately begin to fly.

Even more acceleration and optimization

As for hardware acceleration and GPU for screen layout, this item is considered relevant only on fast graphics cores and only for 2D applications.

In fact, this is not always the case, plus, in addition to all sorts of PUBG Mobile and other 3-dimensional games for Android, which you are trying to speed up, in fact, the fact is that you always have a processor as such, which works with the interface and processes in the background, so by shifting some of the functionality to you you can get some performance gains.

Well, if you don’t have much memory or power, but you want to play on your favorite phone, then it makes sense to cut down the number of background processes. This will of course affect some notifications (for example, mail), but it will increase the speed of work in general, and in 3D applications in particular.

Afterword

That's it, now you know how to speed up Android. Traditionally, this is not bad manners and there can be many nuances. For some this will have an effect, but for others it will start to drain the battery. Some people won’t even notice the difference and won’t understand why it’s needed at all.

Much depends on how you use your hardware on Android, its configuration, system version, processor, memory, location, games you play and much more.

So it goes. If you are interested, write in the comments, we will develop the topic and tell you how the same Kernel Auditor can really speed up any device, based on the deep tuning of the kernel of any phone.

As always, if you have any thoughts, questions, additions, etc., then welcome to comment on this material.

The Android operating system is very popular today, as evidenced by the presence of this software in devices from fairly well-known manufacturers. Nowadays, smartphones, tablets and other devices that do not run Android OS are widespread and range from the cheapest to the most expensive. This operating system offers a lot of undoubted advantages, however, many devices sooner or later begin to “slow down”, and therefore users begin to think about how to speed up Android.

We have prepared several proven and effective ways to increase the performance of the Android operating system. This manual will present only those methods that really work and have proven their effectiveness in practice. We will not consider dubious methods of optimizing and speeding up the system using programs, utilities and defragmenters, the description of which speaks of their amazing functionality, but in practice the result is zero. Let's start with the simplest methods that every user can handle and end with tips for advanced ones. If you do not consider yourself an advanced user, this does not mean that our recommendations will not help you. The main thing is to follow the step-by-step instructions and you will certainly succeed.

Before you speed up Android using serious and rather complex procedures, you should try the basic methods, so to speak, which can also turn out to be very effective, so we’ll start with them.

1. Disable live wallpapers. Many users, in pursuit of the beauty of their device, use all kinds of live wallpapers. At the same time, not everyone knows that such a screensaver on the screen of your smartphone or tablet takes up significant system resources. Therefore, one of the speedup measures should be replacing live wallpapers with a regular picture.

2. Get rid of unnecessary widgets. Almost all users place all kinds of widgets on the desktop of their gadget, which in turn also consume RAM, which slows down the operation of the android. Of course, there is no need to remove all widgets; at least get rid of the unnecessary ones.

3. Remove apps you don't use. Perhaps each of us is familiar with Google Play, which presents users of Android devices with many excellent applications, most of them completely free. It is very difficult to resist installing a dozen other interesting programs on your smartphone or tablet. It's one thing to have only really necessary programs installed, but often the device is overcrowded with useless applications. Meanwhile, the fact that you do not use them does not mean that they do not affect the operation of your Android in any way. Programs run background processes and thereby consume OS resources. Therefore, to speed up Android you need to get rid of unnecessary applications and leave only what you really need.

4. Delete cache contents. Removing unnecessary applications will undoubtedly affect the performance of Android, but you should also be aware that many programs accumulate data in the cache memory over time, which also slows down the speed of the device. Of course, it won’t be possible to delete all applications, otherwise why buy Android at all, but deleting the cache contents is quite possible. Go to the device settings and follow the following path: “applications”>”application management”> “application information” and select “Clear cache”. In order not to repeat similar actions separately for each application, you can delete the cache of all programs in the “Settings -> Memory -> Data in the cache -> Yes” menu. After this, you need to go to the “Delete data” section, which is located in the “Application information” tab. To completely reset the application settings, you need to click on “default settings”. It should be said that such actions will lead to the fact that all data saved in the application will be deleted and it will return to its original state. That is, if you set the default settings, for example, for a certain game, then all previously achieved achievements will be canceled. So be picky.

5. Reset your Android device to factory settings. If all of the above methods did not give the desired result, you can try resetting the settings to factory settings. This measure returns the device to its original state. Before speeding up Android in this way, it is advisable to make backup copies of contacts and other important information that is stored in the gadget’s memory. The fact is that collecting triples will lead to its deletion. To reset the settings, follow the following path: “Settings” - “Privacy” - “Reset settings”.

6. Free up your device's internal memory. The phone may begin to slow down due to insufficient internal memory for normal functioning. To solve this problem, you need to delete unnecessary files or move them to external memory, that is, to an SD card.

7. Update the firmware. You can speed up Android by flashing the device. New versions of the OS fix lags, errors and other problems that slow down the operation of a smartphone or tablet. First of all, you should try installing the official firmware directly from the device itself. Detailed instructions are presented in the article ““. It should also be said that often when you try to update the OS, the device displays a message that updates are currently not available. If you are faced with this problem, do not worry, as there is a solution. Read more about this in the article ““. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the corresponding video instructions:

Get root rights. If attempts to speed up Android using the above methods did not give the desired result, you can try more drastic measures. However, in fairness, it should be noted that performing the above procedures in most cases significantly speeds up OS performance. Although, for some this is not enough, and if you are among them, then it makes sense to get root rights, which provide the ability to perform additional actions with a smartphone or tablet.

Before you speed up Android using one of the methods below, you should know that getting root rights is a rather risky and difficult procedure. Additionally, successfully rooting will void your warranty, so if your device is still under warranty, doing this is not recommended. Although, on the other hand, root rights can be removed at any time and the warranty will be renewed, but the manufacturer is unlikely to notice the fact of using root rights. In general, it’s up to you to decide whether to use the methods listed below or not; our task is to provide you with detailed instructions.

After obtaining root rights, you will be able to get the following features:

• You can overclock the device's processor. Thanks to this process, the speed of the gadget significantly increases.
• You will have the opportunity to install modified firmware with additional functionality. Such firmware is also called custom firmware and they are not official. It should be understood that such firmware can really speed up the performance of the device and make other positive changes in its operation, however, they also have negative sides. Among custom firmware, there are often versions of poor quality, which can only worsen the performance of a smartphone or tablet. That is why you need to take a responsible approach to choosing modified firmware.
• You will be able to remove default applications. It was already mentioned above that deleting unnecessary applications speeds up Android, but every smartphone and tablet computer has pre-installed applications that are sometimes useless, but there is no way to remove them. Root rights provide this opportunity and you can get rid of any application. The main thing is to be careful not to delete the system application.

This is not a complete list of opportunities that obtaining root rights provides.

How to get ROOT rights on Android

If you still decide to get Root rights, then you need to follow certain rules. Rooting a device means gaining superuser rights, that is, you get full control over your device and can perform almost any action, including potentially dangerous ones for your smartphone or tablet. ROOT rights come in several types: Full Root (full access without any restrictions), Shell Root (without access to the system folder), Temporary Root (temporary Root, works only until the first reboot of the device).

The procedure for obtaining root rights is not complicated and does not involve any problems, but only if you carefully follow all instructions. You don't have to do anything supernatural. Today, there are quite a few special utilities that automate the process of obtaining superuser rights, so even novice users can cope with this task. The most famous programs include the following: Framaroot, Kingo Android ROOT, SuperOneClick, UnLock Root and Z4 Root. All of these apps can be used to root. In this article we are talking about how to speed up Android, so we will not consider in detail the process of obtaining superuser rights using the above programs here. If you are interested in this method, we recommend that you read the article ““.

With Android acceleration, we hope everything is clear and now your device will start working faster. In conclusion, it should be said that we did not mention special utilities for optimizing the device, since, unlike Windows for Android, such measures are not effective, at least this is what our practice demonstrates.

Many owners of Android gadgets are faced with the problem of slow operation of the device and its .

How to speed up your tablet or smartphone? We will give some useful and really helpful tips, but first it’s worth making a short introduction. Android is an operating system almost the same as the usual Windows. It has background processes, applications, RAM and internal memory, and processors. These factors affect the speed of a smartphone or tablet to varying degrees. Therefore, the issue of speeding up Android is solved in a comprehensive way.

First, let's speed up the gadget on our own.

Power Saving Mode

The easiest way to speed up Android is to set the power/energy saving mode to Performance or Off. The exact wording depends on the firmware version and device. This can significantly improve system speed, but will put a slight strain on the battery, causing it to become . Although it is unlikely that the difference will be very noticeable.

GPU acceleration

Any Android device has a “For Developers” section in its settings. It is sometimes hidden from prying eyes, so it needs to be unlocked. Go to “Settings” - “About phone” and click on “Build number” several times. Now go to the new settings section and check the box next to “Speed ​​up GPU.” If you do not find it, then this function works automatically, you can skip this step.

Disable animation

Animation when opening windows and transitions can negatively affect the speed of a smartphone, especially a budget one. Visually it looks nice, but performance is much more important.

Go to developer settings and find two menus: “Window: Zoom” and “Transition: Zoom”. In both, disable animation.

Installing and storing applications

Here are some banal but very important tips:

• Install and store only those programs and games that you use regularly.
• If possible, try to install lightweight applications that are not demanding on system resources.
• Ruthlessly remove games and programs that you do not use.

It is important to understand that clogged physical memory is one of the reasons for unstable operation of the device. by removing unnecessary applications and games.

Desktop, widgets, live wallpaper.

It is not by chance that three indicators are included in one subheading. It is important to keep your desktop in order, not to clutter it with icons, widgets and beautiful live wallpapers. This is, of course, beautiful, but performance requires sacrifice.

Autostart and background processes

As soon as you turn on your smartphone or tablet, various services and background applications are automatically launched on it. Very often this list contains completely unnecessary and superfluous programs that you do not use. They need to be disabled:

• Go to Settings - Applications - Running.
• Disable those programs and games that are not needed. IMPORTANT: you cannot touch system services like Google Services, Settings, etc.

Disabling account synchronization

You can connect several accounts to any smartphone or tablet running Android: Gmail, VK, Twitter and others. They are automatically synchronized with the device, while consuming system resources and the Internet.

Go to “Settings” - “Accounts and synchronization” and disable synchronization with those profiles that are not needed.

Automatic application updates

By default, our favorite Google Play market automatically updates all installed games and programs. Of course, this can cause the system to slow down, so it is also recommended to disable this function. This is discussed in more detail in the special.

This is where the basic capabilities for overclocking Android are over – it’s time to turn to third-party programs and methods.

Special Applications

There are several decent programs in the app store designed to speed up smartphones. The most popular and recognized is DU Speed ​​Booster (Cleaner).

If for some reason you don’t like the utility (although this is unlikely), you can find .

Cleaning the system of debris

The operating system of the “Green Robot” tends to become clogged with cache files, cookies, download history and pages visited in the browser. It takes up memory, which means it slows down work. For a comprehensive system cleanup of garbage and unnecessary temporary files, we recommend using.

Programs to optimize battery life will also help speed up your phone. Everything is interconnected. An excellent solution would be Battery Doctor, which we are talking about.

These programs automatically scan systems for unnecessary processes and data and, with our consent, delete files, folders and other junk. This frees up both physical memory and RAM, and also unloads the processor.

Memory card

Most smartphone owners have a memory card installed, which is necessary for storing photos, videos, applications and other files. But it can also cause the gadget to slow down. This is because memory cards may be either slow or outdated.

MicroSD cards have special designations (2, 4, 6, 10) that indicate the speed of information exchange. The higher this number, the better. Age cards and those that come in kits with devices, as a rule, are of type 6 and below. This may be one of the reasons for Android's slow performance. It is recommended to replace the card with a new one with indicators above 6. You can learn more about choosing a flash drive.

Firmware

If all else fails, then the only way out is to flash it to custom, the most popular of which is .

Custom firmware has a number of advantages compared to stock ones:

• No unnecessary pre-installed applications that slow down the system and clog up the RAM. As a result, the device operates stably.
• Rich functionality (the ability to increase or decrease the processor frequency to save battery, etc.).
• Timely system updates (especially useful for devices that are no longer supported by the manufacturer). With each new update, the developers correct errors and add exactly what users need, as in most cases they conduct discussions on the forums.

There are also disadvantages:

• Reflashing a smartphone entails loss of warranty and sometimes the possibility of turning it into a “brick.”
• Unofficial firmware sometimes has some flaws (for example, if the phone has two cards, they may not be displayed correctly).
