Android has always given people the impression that there are various kinds of stumbling blocks, especially after more applications are opened, there will be a big gap in fluency compared with the iPhone. In fact, as long as we optimize it properly, Android can also be very smooth, no less than iPhone. This article mainly introduces the combination of system optimization, third-party software optimization and setting optimization to improve the smoothness of Android.

1. System

Brush machine

The system definitely plays a decisive role. A good system can make Android reborn. Since Android 4.1, the smoothness of Android has made a qualitative leap. Android 4.1 has a very good touch feeling, which is mainly due to the improved frame speed of Android 4.1 to 60fps and its better performance in touch delay. Therefore, as long as circumstances permit, it is recommended that all Android phones should be swiped above 4.1. This experience is absolutely unimaginable when using 4.0 or even 2.3 systems in the past. Of course, 4.1 is still out of reach for most Android phones. The purpose of tasting "jelly beans" can only be achieved through third-party ROMs. Here, special attention should be paid to the stability of third-party ROMs.

If you can't use Android 4.1, you can also choose some third-party ROMs, such as the native system AOKP or CM series. Because the system is very compact, these third-party ROMs will also improve the fluency. Of course, it is necessary to give up the various software and UI provided by the official ROMs, which depends on the user's choice.

Replace the kernel

The kernel of Android phones also has a great impact on the smoothness of mobile phones. The kernel directly affects the operating efficiency and frequency changes of CPU. When it comes to brushing the kernel, it is necessary to mention the overclocking. Some third-party kernels support the overclocking of the CPU. The smoothness of the CPU will certainly change as the frequency increases. Of course, special attention should be paid here to the control of temperature and voltage.

2. Setting optimization

Turn on performance mode

This question was discussed in the previous article“ How to make your mobile phone more power-saving? ”As mentioned in, many mobile phones default to the standard mode or even the power-saving mode, which has a lot of impact on the performance. Therefore, it is recommended to switch to the performance mode (location: system settings, different for different mobile phones).

Turn off animation effects

This is a setting option only available in Android 4.0. Android 4.0 has two options (window animation zoom and transition animation zoom). Android 4.1 adds animation program duration adjustment. Some people say that Android's animation card is not smooth without iPhone. It's good to have this option. Do you think the animation is not smooth? Can I turn it off? After you turn off these, you will feel a lot more responsive, but at the expense of a certain visual experience (location: Settings → Developer Options).

Do not keep activity

This option discards one of the great advantages of Android over iPhone, which is often referred to as "multitasking", The current high-end mobile Android has four cores and 2G RAM. If you only run one software, you can imagine that the fluency will be very high, but it is not recommended to use this method to improve the fluency. Android, without multi tasks, is more like a cat in three feet, and it is OK to just experience that feeling（ Location: Settings → Developer Options).

3. Third party software

Replace the starter

In fact, the initiator of the system is the culprit of many Android Cartons At present, some brands of mobile phone initiators are becoming more and more beautiful and complex. Of course, the cost is that they occupy more RAM and ROM. If you don't have special requirements in this regard, you can completely replace some third-party initiators, such as Apex, NOVA, and so on. Their smoothness improvement is also very obvious (NOVA is introduced here).

The settings are very diverse, with many personalized options

The adjustment of desktop scrolling effect is also a great advantage of third-party launchers.

Uninstall the program provided with the system

More and more official systems now have many annoying programs that cannot be uninstalled. These software often start up automatically, which has a great impact on system smoothness. However, to delete these built-in software, you need to obtain root permission. Some common third-party ROMs also have their own garbage software problems, and most third-party ROMs have their own root, so this is relatively easy to solve. Special attention should also be paid to deleting programs here. Do not delete some system software by mistake, or the consequences will be serious (The "Lizuo Toolbox" is used here.).

Suggestion: Uninstall some rarely used desktop plug-ins, third-party software that the system forces to install, etc

Manage startup items

In this regard, it was also mentioned in the previous power saving topic that reducing the software that starts automatically when the phone is turned on can not only save power, but also improve the response speed of the phone, Of course, you can't shut down all the software at once. You can achieve the goal by closing some third-party software that does not need to start automatically. If you accidentally disable the system's own programs, it will be more troublesome (The "Lizuo Toolbox" is used here.).

Suggestion: disable most third-party software from booting

In fact, many "common sense" problems are misinformation. The typical one is that Android is more than iPhone card, and iPhone does not "spell configuration". In fact, it is wrong. We can only know the truth through personal use and testing, or that old saying, seeing is believing. The following is the smoothness test of the Galaxy Note II, which is completely comparable to the iPhone in terms of the smoothness of the desktop. Of course, Android needs to be built on a strong hardware configuration to have such a smooth feeling.
