How To Make AndroidFaster: What Works AndWhat Doesn’t

Everyone wants their devices to run
faster and scammers prey on that.
Recently, a scam app named Android
Defrag Pro popped up on Google
Play. Android doesn’t need
defragmentation, but many users
installed it anyway and left positive
reviews. Android isn’t like Windows
and doesn’t require as much
maintenance — still, there are some
things you can do to make your
device perform faster.
You may have heard that “Android
fragmentation” is a problem, but
this refers to the number of devices
and versions of Android in the wild –
fragmentation on Android’s file
system is not a problem.
What Works – The Basics.
These easy-to-follow tips will work for
everyone, no rooting your device
required:
~Optimize Your Home Screens :
Loading up your home screens with
widgets and live wallpapers will slow
things down a bit, particularly if you
have an older, slower device. Trim
the number of widgets you use and
you may see a performance increase
– of course, widgets may not slow
things down too much, especially if
you have a newer device. While
animated wallpapers provide eye
candy, they may cause your home
screens to lag — not to mention the
battery life hit.
Kill & Uninstall Misbehaving
Apps:
Task killer apps are
unnecessary — we’ll get to that later
— because Android normally does a
good job of managing processes for
you. However, in some cases, an app
may misbehave, taking up a lot of
CPU time and slowing your system.
You can identify these apps from the
Task Manager by their high resource
usage. You can also use an app like
Watchdog Task Manager , which
watches for misbehaving apps. After
you spot a misbehaving app, kill it.
If it continues misbehaving, you
should uninstall it.
Install a Different Browser :
If you’re one of the majority of Android
users stuck on an older version of
Android, like Gingerbread, you could
see a performance increase from
installing a new browser. Android’s
built-in browser is only updated
with the operating system, which
means that Gingerbread’s browser
hasn’t been updated in a long time.
The new Firefox app for Android runs
on Gingerbread and seems
significantly faster than the built-in
browser, in my experience. Users of
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and
above can also try Google Chrome for
Android. Opera Mini is another good
choice – Opera Mini renders pages
on Opera’s servers before sending
them to your device, saving your
device’s processing power and
reducing network usage. Opera Mini
will help more with slower devices
that take a while to load web pages.
What Works – The Geekier Stuff.
These tips will require rooting your
device or installing a custom ROM –
not necessarily for the average user!
That said, rooting your Android
phone or tablet may be easier than
you’d think.
~Overclock Your Device : Just like
with a desktop or laptop computer,
you can overclock your Android
phone or tablet to speed things up.
However, this will require root
access. SetCPU is a popular choice
for overclocking your device’s CPU.
Bear in mind that overclocking can
be dangerous – an overclocked
phone will generate more heat, and
this could result in hardware
damage. Overclocking will also
decrease your device’s battery life.
Install Custom ROMs to Get a
Newer Version of Android :
Newer
versions of Android perform better
than older ones. For example,
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is
significantly more responsive than
older versions thanks to Project
Butter, which aimed to dramatically
reduce lag. While your phone may
not have an official update to a
newer version of Android, you can
often upgrade by installing a custom
ROM. A custom ROM is a new build
of the Android operating system,
customized for your device and
developed by the community. One
popular custom ROM that supports a
variety of devices is CyanogenMod.
Manage Autostart Programs :
~If you’ve rooted your Android, you can
also use an app like Autostarts to
manage which apps have permission
to automatically start with your
device. This can speed up your boot
process.
What Doesn’t Work
These things just don’t work, or may
be counterproductive.
~Defragment Your Android : For
decades, Windows users have been
told that defragmenting their hard
drives will speed their computer up.
With this in mind, it’s no surprise
that scammers would create Android
defragmenting apps. You don’t need
to defragment Android for the same
reason you don’t need to defragment
a solid-state drive on a Windows
computer. The SSD automatically
manages where the data gets placed
— defragmentation doesn’t speed
anything up. In fact,
defragmentation can actually harm
things – SSDs have a limited amount
of write cycles, so defragmentation
can reduce the life of your Android’s
storage.
Run a Task Killer:
~Task killer apps
end processes and remove them
from memory – this sounds like it
should speed things up. However, it
may actually slow things down.
Android will manage processes for
you – processes running in the
background don’t use up resources
like they do on Windows. While your
memory may be full of processes,
that’s a good thing – unused
memory does nothing, and the apps
in memory will load more quickly
when you go back to them. When a
task killer kills a process, the app
will take longer to load next time –
it may also start back up
immediately, slowing things down.
Let Android manage processes for
you. The one exception to this is
misbehaving processes, which you
should kill and uninstall – see the
information about that in the basics
section above.
