Our device isn't considered to be powerful anymore. It's became an complete underdog. Thanks to Android's flexibility, you can force to make your phone pretty much fly with several tweaks.
1. Delete as much bloatware as possible.
This is regarded as an easiest, noobiest option to improve your phone's performance. Many OEM apps stays hibernated in the RAM, thus limiting free RAM available to the user and sometimes even stressing NAND too much. In the end, it's the best to keep your phone as clean and deleting useless apps on the fly.
2. Don't install too much apps into NAND memory
Benchmarks shown, that our phone's NAND chip is considered to be rather slow. Since many apps access small amounts of random data pretty much constantly, it's better to have less apps installed on your phone.
3. Avoid using app killers
This is a placebo effect, since Android's memory management is inferior to what app killers are doing. Many apps stays in such state, where they are ready to be launched almost instantly. App killers, however, pretty much screw all the mandatory functions and stresses the phone even more than before. Launcher redraws are rather common occasion when app killer is being used.
4. Use custom kernel
Custom kernels often offer more features and are more optimized to make the use of available hardware. OEMs never seem to mess around with kernels much, since they want to have their product as stable as possible. Devs, however, mess around with kernels and extract almost double the real-time performance.
5. Never fill up your storage completely
The more data is available on the storage, the harder is getting to find it. Since data is laid randomly, it searches for the information location. When there are too much data, it gets harder to find the data needed. Often slower cards, like Class 2 or Class 4, are considered to be the better choice, since those cards are much faster at writing and reading marginal data randomly.
6. Select the I/O scheduler, CPU governor wisely
These things manipulate with the main hardware. The better optimized the governors are, the better the phone will run and won't drain the battery as much. Though keep in mind, that many governors have their own drawbacks.
sioplus is one of the better I/O schedulers. It allows access to random data pretty quickly, which ensures smooth and snappy performance in the system.
ondemand is the most common and is the stapple and the base of many custom governors available today. It's method is pretty simple - whenever phone registers a touch input, it automatically raises the CPU speed to the max. In retrospect, it should give great performance, but it usually suffers from poor response.
7. Play around with Dalvik VM settings
My optimized settings (feel free to use them):
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=6m (size when first launched)
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m (limit of standard app)
dalvik.vm.heapsize=192m (heap for large app)
These settings pretty much controls our multitasking. Each phone has it's own specified settings, so it could run better.
Lowering these settings could majorly improve performance, but it could slow down around, when there too much heavy apps running in the background.
Raising these settings could improve multitasking, since less CPU power is required to extract certain data to the RAM. Scrolling a heavy webpage, for instance - raising these settings could improve scrolling smoothness and loading times, since there isn't a need to clean the heapsize as frequently as it was before.
More suggestions are coming later. If you found this article useful, please leave THANKS!
Good day. :)
