As promised in my first article, as long as Android keeps going, so shall this article. And boy is android going and going with all this releases of new models and even from new brands.
Now, looking back at the history of android and comparing it to the phones we hold now, anyone with a bit of experience with android would say that they have increased leaps and bounds over the years. The operating system has become smoother, and Google play store has really stocked up with a lot of useful apps thanks to its open source nature.
But as much as the system is improving, our standards and expectations with the smart phone performance exponentially increase as well. As an excited android user you might start downloading as much apps that peaks your interest and inevitably start slowing down your system which could get frustrating.
This 2nd tips and tricks is going to teach you how to make your phone work faster.
1.) Start by becoming a developer.
Woah! I didn’t mean to scare you there. You don’t REALLY have to become a developer. All you need to do is access the developer option that is hidden in every android phone. Given you are using an android version 4.2 up. All you got to do is follow this few steps.
- Go to settings and Click About phone.
- Go down the menu and find Build Number.
- Tap on the build number 7 times. And voila, you just opened the developer options. Who knew becoming a developer was this easy.
2.) Bring your animation options down.
Once you get into your developer options you would see that there are z whole lot more options for your phone that you would have never had access to if you didn’t find out this secret. Now aren’t you glad we told you?
The next thing you do is go to the options for animations, usually found under the drawing sub menus. Under the menu would be three animation options.
- Window animation scale
- Transition animation scale
- Animation duration scale
These three options basically control the graphics of your screen popping up or switching or zooming in and out. Once you tap on them, you would find that it’s all set in 1x animation capacity. Just check the .5x options and you can instantly feel your phone becoming smoother.
So there you go, a simple tweak to help get you a faster phone. Don’t worry, you won’t miss the animation that much.
