Speed Up your Android

 

I’m a Google fanboy and have no qualms whatever to admit it. And like any other fan, I have an android (obviously!) And like all good things have a down-side, Android does tend to slow down a little over a period of time. So here’s a series of articles for speeding up your android.

Note: Please do note that these tutorials are aimed at advanced users, so please be careful. I’m not gonna be responsible if you brick your phone.

As always, to realize the true potential of an Android you need to root it. This does cause your warranty to go void, so its your call: performance or warranty. To root your phone, follow the tutorial over here.

So in the first tutorial, we are gonna add the hacks right into the build.prop file. This file basically controls major properties of your android.

Follow these steps:

1. Root your phone.


2. Download and install Root Explorer from the market. You may download it from here.


3. Now open Root Explorer and click on system folder. Now click on ‘R/W’ button at the top.


4. Long press on the build.prop file, a new menu opens. Select Open in text editor option.

Type the following codes to the build.prop file for the respective hack you want. If the codes are already present, just edit them and change the value.

Make interface and scrolling more responsive

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150
