Android has dependably been searched for gold an asset hoard and for its conflicting execution, even on top of the line intense gadgets. All things considered, things have positively enhanced with Google advancing Android’s execution with each new emphasis. Be that as it may, Android still has far to go before it achieves iOS-level smoothness (Sorry Android fans!). Along these lines, in the event that you feel your Android cell phone or tablet has backed off significantly in the course of recent months, here’s the way to accelerate your Android gadget.<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

There are plenty\u00a0of ways through which you can speed up your Android device\u00a0and these include options inside Android settings, third party apps and more. So, without any further ado,\u00a0let\u2019s find out the\u00a0best ways to speed up your Android device:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Remove Bloatware<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Installing a plethora of apps on your Android device certainly slows it down. Also, Android devices\u00a0from manufacturers like LG, Samsung, HTC come with their own skins on top of stock Android, which include a lot of gimmicky apps that don\u2019t necessarily come to good use. While you cannot completely uninstall these \u201csystem\u201d apps unless you root the device, you can disable them, which makes sure these apps are not seen and they don\u2019t run in the background or take up any cache\/storage data.<\/p>\n

You can disable an app by going to Android\u00a0Settings->Apps<\/strong>\u00a0and select the app you want to disable. In the app info page, hit the disable button and select \u201cDisable App<\/strong>\u201d in the prompt to disable the app.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

2.Disable or Speed-up Animations<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The various animations and transitions on Android do look cool but they also take a toll on the device\u2019s CPU and RAM. On Android, you can easily tinker with the speed of the animations and even disable them. To do it, go to\u00a0Settings->Developer Options<\/strong>\u00a0and scroll down to find options like\u00a0\u201cWindow animation scale\u201d, \u201cTransition animation scale\u201d and \u201cAnimator duration scale\u201d.<\/strong>\u00a0You can then\u00a0either turn them off<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0set them to o.5x<\/strong>\u00a0for better\u00a0performance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Note<\/u><\/strong>: To enable Developer Options, go to Settings->About phone and\u00a0keep tapping \u201cBuild number\u201d until you get the message saying \u201cCongrats! You\u2019re now a developer\u201d.<\/p>\n

3. Clear RAM<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

High-end Android smartphones these days pack 4 gigs of RAM, which speaks volumes of Android\u2019s memory optimization. So, if you have an older Android smartphone with lesser amount of RAM, you will need to clear some memory to get the best multitasking performance. While\u00a0Android skins from manufacturers come with an option to kill all tasks to clear RAM, stock Android does not offer such a straightforward approach. Instead, you can go to\u00a0Settings->Memory<\/strong>\u00a0and tap on \u201cMemory used by apps<\/strong>\u201d to see the apps that are most RAM hungry. You can then easily \u201cforce stop\u201d apps to clear off RAM.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

4. Clear App Caches<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

An app\u2019s cache data isn\u2019t necessarily bad for the smartphone\u2019s performance, as caches are generally\u00a0some of the app\u2019s data to save on your load time every time you open the app. However, cache data of apps that you don\u2019t necessarily use can put a strain on your device\u2019s performance and also take up unnecessary space on your device\u2019s internal storage.<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

To clear an app\u2019s cache data, go to\u00a0Settings->Apps<\/strong>\u00a0and select the app you want. Then, go to \u201cStorage<\/strong>\u201d and tap on \u201cClear Cache<\/strong> \u201c.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

5. Free up storage<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

If your\u00a0Android device\u2019s storage is on the brink of getting full, it\u2019s no surprise that it might be slowing down. Also, there are plenty of junk files from older apps that you might have not removed, which also acts as a catalyst in slowing down your device. So, if you want your device to be running\u00a0consistently smooth, you should make sure that there\u2019s enough free storage.<\/p>\n

6. Use a different launcher<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Android skins like TouchWiz, Sense, MIUI\u00a0can get laggy at times, especially on smartphones featuring modest specs. Thankfully, there are tons of\u00a0cool Android launchers\u00a0available on the Play Store. While some of these launchers are aimed at making your homescreen more functional, some just make sure you get the best performance. For instance, launchers like\u00a0Nova<\/a>\u00a0let you customize every little detail and they are\u00a0also very light on the resources.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

7. Steer clear of Live Wallpapers and Extensive Widgets<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

There are some very\u00a0beautiful Live Wallpaper apps\u00a0available for Android and while they look beautiful, most of them are pretty heavy on the CPU\u00a0and take up a good amount of RAM.\u00a0So, get rid of that live wallpaper you might be using and you should definitely see some improvements in performance. You should also steer clear of using a lot of\u00a0widgets\u00a0on the homescreen, as they\u00a0constantly take up resources to\u00a0bring a lot of info right to your homescreen.<\/p>\n

8. Format your device<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Formatting your device isn\u2019t the best way to speed up your Android device but you could do it from time to time. Doing a factory reset on your Android smartphone will make your device a clean slate, which means your device will perform like it was new. You can then install apps with care and make sure your internal storage is never too loaded for the best performance.<\/p>\n

To factory reset your Android device, go to\u00a0Settings->Backup & reset->Factory data reset<\/strong>\u00a0and tap \u201cReset Phone<\/strong> \u201c. Before you do it, don\u2019t forget to make a backup of all your files on the device.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Bonus:\u00a0Root your device<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

This method is certainly not for the faint heart, as rooting an Android device brings its own set of\u00a0problems. However, rooting also\u00a0opens gates to\u00a0various options\u00a0like\u00a0overclocking,\u00a0performance booster mods & kernels, several cool apps<\/strong>\u00a0and more. Also, don\u2019t forget that you will be able to install custom ROMs that\u00a0are light and would run flawlessly on your device.<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

Ready to get things to speed on Android?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Frankly, you might have to take up all of these ways to effectively speed up your Android device. So, you should give them a shot and see if your Android device starts performing better. Also, there are third party booster apps that claim to boost your device\u2019s performance, however, we don\u2019t really have a liking to them. If you must, you can check apps like\u00a0Clean Master<\/a>,\u00a0CCleaner<\/a>\u00a0etc.<\/p>\n
