Getting The Best Out Of Your Low End Android Phone -simple tips without Rooting by Nobody: 11:43pm On Oct 11, 2013 |
If you have a phone that is low on phone memory (less than 200mb, not rooted) and RAM less than or 768Mb (380mb , 512mb) , this thread is just for you. Shun the screen size or camera or amount of cores of some big techno or Infinix droid phones. They still have a 1ghz processor, 512mb RAM & so they are ermm ![]() I still use an infinix surf smart at present ,3.5” with 512mb RAM, 127mb usable ROM & 1ghz processor. The phone is not yet rooted (my tech friends can’t root it ![]() ![]() A lot is to be sacrificed to get the best out of your low end android phone, so before you start criticizing the phone or manufacturers – who wouldn’t sweat to produce crap, I guess u should try out these things I did; 1) Prevent Low internal memory. Most of us want to have all the apps & games installed on a low end android (internal mem. less than 200mb ,512mb RAM...how u wan do am ? ![]() i) Leave at least 14-20mb free internal storage memory, to allow expansion of some apps (most apps expand as they get more data) and prevent a clogged phone memory. Try delete some apps for your phone's stability, don't leave your phone memory all choked up ![]() ii) *for android 2.0 to 3 that is not rooted* Clear the data of some apps regularly especially apps that expand Like facebook (Omo ![]() iii) Move apps to SD card. Be sure you have moved some apps (actually part of) to your SD card. Install bigger apps 1st, then move them to SD before installing smaller ones and doing same ***settings—application---manage app—select app—move to SD iv) Ensure that you have changed preferred storage location to SD ***settings—application—preferred install location—Removable SD card 1 Like |

2. Manage RAM properly 1) Don’t use a live wallpaper; Not that its bad, I know u want your wallpaper (techno & infinix peepz) to be like D galaxy S3 or S4 live wallpaper ![]() 2) No need for a fanciful launcher; Some people want their ( 512mb RAM’s) phone UI to look like that of windows , apple OS etc .These are called launchers. Launchers consume more RAM than live wallpapers (15-35mb aprox) e.g go launcher ,ios7, next etc. To enjoy using launchers without ur phone lagging and your games hanging, u go for a droid with 1gb RAM @least, if not be content with d default launcher of your phone & your phone will run smoothly ![]() 3) Remove the widgets. Screen Widgets are also RAM consuming (be it weather – the most RAM consuming widget, avast, twitter, fb), so its better they are not used to ensure maximum performance. Hold them down & drag to bin to remove. 4) *android 2. Users* Use apps like “clean master” to clear all background processes or running apps especially before running HD games or another app. I hope these few steps helps in getting your phone back on track. Feel free to share yours, correct & ask questions. Since I did these ,no app I’ve installed has frozen (forced close) on my device my phone is not rooted but I’m loving it ![]() 4 Likes |

Nice one o.p. Most people don't know that Live wallpapers, Launchers, widgets (weather e.t.c) are RAM suckers, and they also make battery drain faster. That's why I stay away from them 'cos I can't sacrifice performance for fanciness. 1 Like |

Nice posts also we still get our money's worth. Nevertheless, Rooting is akin to hacking Symbian devices. It's inevitable and very necessary to the Android Experience. 1 Like |

Randerl: Nice posts also we still get our money's worth. Nevertheless, Rooting is akin to hacking Symbian devices. It's inevitable and very necessary to the Android Experience. Thanks. True, but to get the very best out of your rooted device; you should have a very capable RAM also. I'd hav actually attempted to root mine, not until a friend had his phone (same model) bricked by som1 he called a guru, & i'm scared of trying it on my own -no personal success stories on rooting my phone's model yet. So i'm waiting till i see a 'real' guru to help me out. At least i've used "framaroot" to root an uncle's LG Optimus , and dad's G.Grand - fun and easy. Hoping apps like that will be available to root low end droid devices before i upgrade, mayb before december. I want to have a feel of a rooted low end android device. 1 Like |
