The Best 3 Android Tips for Speeding up Your Device

The Android operating system continues to evolve. This is great news for both users and developers, because better systems mean better apps. If you’re a mobile app developer for Android, you may want to consider using appnext android developer marketing solutions to help you effectively market and monetize your product.

That being said, if you are an Android user, despite being able to enjoy better features with new versions of Android OS, you might notice that after you’ve used your mobile device for a few months, it starts to perform slower.

The following are three of the best tips you can use to help speed up your device.

Tip 1 – Get rid of unused apps– Go through the apps on your smartphone or tablet and disable or uninstall the ones you don’t use. The less free space available, the slower the mobile device is likely to run.

Tip 2 – Ensure your software is up-to-date – It’s important that you have the latest firmware installed. Software updates usually contain bug fixes, security fixes, and other things that can help improve your device’s performance.
Tip 3 – Minimize your widgets – Reducing the number of widgets you use, especially those that are data-intensive, can help your device run smoother and make the battery last longer.

Android 4.3 Includes Hidden App Permissions Manager That Could Bolster Privacy & Security

 

As expected, Google officially confirmed Android 4.3 at its event on Wednesday with Android chief Sundar Pichai. Among the new features/improvements in the update are a redesigned camera interface, Bluetooth Low Energy support, performance improvements such as smoother animations, and multi-user restricted profiles. But there’s apparently something else that Google didn’t talk about. Android Police has unearthed a hidden app permissions manager that allows users to selectively disable certain permissions for apps.
The feature is apparently called App Ops, and lets users toggle app permissions — such as location and the ability to post notifications — on and off for individual apps. Android Police notes that a developer has already created an app (available here on Google Play if you have Android 4.3 installed) that foregrounds App Ops, and has been having a play around with it.
The basic idea of the feature is apparently to give Android users more flexibility over what apps can and can’t do, allowing them to choke off battery draining features, say, or rein in irritating notification behaviour. If Google does decide to fully implement App Ops as a user-facing feature, there are potential big benefits here, from a security and privacy point of view, being as it could give users fine-grained control over what each app can do.
Apps they might otherwise have been tentative about installing could presumably be fine-tuned to fit their tastes now — which may also have some developer benefits, if it helps drive overall installs.
However Android Police notes that while App Ops does work, the feature is clearly not ready for the prime time yet — while testing it with the Facebook app they found certain app permissions only appeared in the permissions list once the app had made use of them, for example. Such messiness likely explains why Google has hidden App Ops and wasn’t ready to talk about it on Wednesday. We’ve reached out to Mountain View to ask for its plans for the feature and will update this story with any response.
Another possible complication attached to the feature is user confusion if a user doesn’t realise that the reason a particular in-app feature isn’t working is because it has been toggled off at source. A similar problem can occur on some Android devices with the quick settings in the notification tray overriding the main setting for things like silencing sounds/ringtones. Add in per app permissions and the potential user confusion is enormous. Android Police notes that one way for Google to get round could be to include some kind of system notifications warning users when App Ops is limiting app permissions. Although that would get old pretty quick if users get nagged every time they open an app with restricted permissions.
It is also possible that the App Ops feature has been created by Google to power the multi-user restricted profiles feature it did announced on Wednesday, which allows for parental controls to be implemented on Android devices.
The Android platform also has the most malware activity associated with it of all the mobile platforms, so the App Ops feature could be something Google is lining up to help bolster security concerns attached to Android. For instance, the feature could allow users to block apps from making calls — to kill off premium rate phone call/SMS malware — or trace which apps have been making calls to identify rogue software.

Android Is The New Windows

 

A flexible, customizable operating system that’s farmed out to third-party hardware makers and dominates market share but not profits? You’re not the only one experiencing déjà vu. The parallels of Android and Windows are striking. But can that which is unique about Android save it from the fate befalling Microsoft’s stumbling OS?
Let’s look at the similarities between the Android of today and the Windows 95 of … ’95:

• Android is a growing platform with endless form-factor diversity (or fragmentation, depending on how you look at it) and strong OEM support, just like Windows has had and still enjoys.
• Android’s flexibility for users and developers created an explosion in app variety, but also an unruly app store with a growing issue with malware. The same was true of Windows during the early days of the Internet.
• Android, like Windows before it, followed Apple into its market by leaning on third-party hardware firms. The plan helped both to surpass Apple’s hardware shipments. Android tablets currently outsell the iPad globally more than two to one.
• OEMs looking to boost per-device profit tweak the Android operating system and often cut at its daily functionality by over-skinning the platform among other similar issues. Windows PCs still suffer from the same issue, as OEMs pump them full of crappy bloatware before delivering them to consumers.
• Android devices are often cheaper than iOS units, but at the same time can compete at the higher price and quality tiers. Just as it has long been simple to pick up a cheap laptop that runs Windows, you can also spend untold sums on a gaming or media machine that can handle anything you throw at it if you want. That wasn’t true with Mac, and it isn’t true now with iOS. But if you want to buy a massive-screened Android you can.

          Perhaps the most important point of the Android and Windows comparison is that of longevity. Windows has been around since 1985. Hardware-based operating systems last.
         Just as computers have changed since 1985, so has Windows. And smartphones and tablets will change, too. But we still have PCs, and we’ll still have smartphones and tablets in a decade. Android is currently using a similar strategy to Microsoft’s Windows play to take over the hottest two segments in hardware and software.
          People now say that, while Android has huge market share, it’s iOS that is beloved and profitable. But if history repeats itself, the smartphone wars will be decided less by short-term profits and app figures, and more by who will control the smartphone world in five, 10 and 15 years. That’s increasingly looking like Android.
         And it’s firmly ironic that Microsoft is currently working to build tablet and smartphone market share against Android, which is using its old playbook against it. If only Microsoft had taken its own advice sooner.

Spruce up Your Media Player with iSense Music

While the official Google Play Music application has a recently refreshed UI that many seem to love, and its compatibility with Play All Access makes it the ideal player for some, undoubtedly not everyone will be a fan of its aesthetics. Perhaps you don’t use the cloud or perhaps you’re not a fan of orange, but if for whatever reason you aren’t a fan of the Play Music app, you may want to check out XDA Forum Member SmoothApps‘s latest creation iSense Music.
iSense Music is certainly different, yet remarkably familiar. It takes cues from the media player seen in Apple’s iDevices as well as the one in HTC’s Sense. And the best part of its UI is that if you’re not a fan of its default looks, you can change them with theme support. In addition to its looks, it also has some useful functionality such as crossfade for seamless song transitions, equalizer support on Android 2.3 and greater, and you can even exclude folders from the app’s UI without having to create a .nomedia file.

Remove all the Bloatware from Your Samsung Galaxy S 4

Bloatware is extremely frustrating at times. There’s usually no problems when removing a couple, but things just get tedious when you have no idea which app is safe to remove or not. It’s even more of a hassle when your Galaxy S 4 comes with nearly 100 of them baked into the system, meaning leaving it to either a pre-cleaned ROM or an AOSP-derived, source-built ROM are your two best options. However if you want to do it yourself, you should check out the TrulyClean script by XDA Senior Member schoolsux.
Initially created for schoolsux’s own personal use, the TrulyClean script removes more than 98 apps considered bloatware, taking out the guesswork and saving you the time and effort. Installation, or uninstallation rather, is quite straight forward, requiring you to flash the provided zip file and running the prompted script. Schoolsux does recommend you to do a full wipe of your device and install either a stock or custom ROM first before installing, but it’s not strictly a requirement.
Apps such as Gmail, Earth, and Google+ will be on the chopping block, and so will S Voice and Samsung Hub. And for those who prefer the stock browser as opposed to the 3rd party alternatives, there’s even a version which keeps it intact. If there are other apps you’d rather not get removed, there’s a quick and easy tutorial briefly guiding you through the steps to edit the script to your liking.
Schoolsux’s TrulyClean is compatible with both the i9500 and i9505 S4 variants.
