Acceleration of Android: which methods really work

The Android operating system is gaining more and more popularity today, getting a residence permit in the most a variety of devices, ranging from simple phones to set-top boxes and multimedia tablets. But not always, these devices have the most modern and powerful stuffing, so the question is relevant Android optimization and acceleration for very many. Therefore, we want to introduce you to a few proven ways to increase system performance, as well as common myths on this subject.

First of all, you must understand that Android is radically different from Windows, so you are familiar methods of optimization and acceleration systems out there do not work. However, this does not stop some scams that actively offer different optimizers Defragmenters and accelerators. Let's see which methods are really useful.

A basic level of

1. Turn off live wallpapers. Yes, it's beautiful, I know. Show off to friends and mother show his girlfriend, and then better still put a normal picture, because all these floating fish and clouds really consuming system resources.

2. Remove the extra widgets and icons. Each widget on your desktop consumes a few megabytes of memory as necessary. Look at them critically and unload unnecessary.

3. Remove unnecessary applications. Google Play contains so many good programs, most of which are completely free. Few hold out on what would have to install a dozen or two "just in case", "then come in handy." However, some of these programs add widgets that run background processes and are thus useless eaters resources. Leave only really necessary.

4. Try a different browser. Built-in Android browser is pretty good, but for slow devices may be preferable to Opera Mini, which consumes much less resources. Try as Firefox or Dolphin, these browsers can significantly speed up web browsing.

Tips for advanced (requires administrator privileges).

These tips will require an understanding of, and sometimes subject to certain risks, therefore addressed primarily to experienced users, not afraid of experiments.

1. Accelerate your device. Just like a regular computer, your phone or tablet, you can disperse, that is, to increase the frequency of the processor. A popular way to do this is SetCPU. Before deciding to think carefully all the "pros" and "cons" (increase in heat dissipation, reduction of autonomy, etc.).

2. Try the new firmware. Although the manufacturer of your device may not be in a hurry to update the firmware, you can always try use a custom assembly that is optimized and customized for your phone or tablet. If that fails, you can always return to the "proprietary" system.

3. Adjust autostart programs. On rutirovannom device may use programs like AutostartsBy which unnecessary processes may be deleted from the list autostart.

erroneous methods

1. Defragmentation. Devices running Android does not need defragmentation. Accordingly, all applications, offering acceleration in this way, nothing more than a hoax.

2. Applications for control tasks (Task Manager). Theoretically, all these "TASK Keeler" do useful work - kill background tasks and frees memory. However, the reality is quite different. The Android operating system uses a rather complex memory management system is significantly different than Windows. Those applications that you currently do not interact, as if staying in a "frozen" state, allowing the first call to them to restore their state almost instantly. If you get them unloaded from memory, the subsequent launch of the opposite happens more slowly, so that the overall responsiveness of the system is reduced.
