One way to speed up your dev ice’s
performance is to make sure you’re not
using any thing you don’t need to. Obv iously
you can do that manually but there is a
much easier and less time consuming way to
go about it. ZDbox is a simple app that lets
you kill processes when they’re using up a
set amount of your device’s memor y, and it
w ill run automatically if you set it up
correctly. You can set it to kill ever y thing
when you lock your screen as well and it
will also clear your cache to free up even
more memor y. It’s free to download and
once you have got it installed, just follow the
simple steps in this tutorial to get it set up
and running on your rooted device.One of the places where an under performing
Android dev ice is the most obv ious is games.
They take up an awful lot of processor power
and if your phone or tablet isn’t up to speed,
then you are going to get a lot of chug and lag
which will completely ruin your gaming
experience. However, that is something you
can easily fix with GLTools, a free app that
lets you change the settings on your CPU and
GPU to make games run quicker and more
smoothly. You will need a bit of know-how to
make sure that you’re getting the new
settings just right, but we will walk you
through how to do it in this simple tutorial.

Google Play store, then you’re ready to go.Improve graphics quality

the textures as well, although
that may affect visual
performance. You can also fool
