An Android mobile phone, a bit like Windows computers, with use tends to become slower and present that phenomenon called " Lag ", ie a significant delay in opening applications or carrying out operations during their execution . For those who do not want to surrender to the slowness that afflicts Android phones sometimes, there are some support applications that can help.
So let's see the causes of slowness or lag on Android devices and how to keep the phone always fast, with good performance.
The article is generic, but it is obvious that the more the phone has powerful hardware, such as the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the HTC One X, the faster Android will be, without lag.

The ways to keep the phone fast are fairly obvious: remove applications you don't use, keep fewer widgets on the screen, avoid animated backgrounds, stop permanent synchronization, deactivate animations.
Speaking of Lag, let's see how to solve the main problems for which the Android phone becomes slow .
In the course of the article some applications (not all) will also be reported that can only be used with Android unlocked with Root and, in any case, it is recommended to make a full backup before using them.
1) Remove applications that ask for too much resources and memory
Some applications run in the background on mobile and consume resources continuously.
Think, for example, of Facebook, Whatsapp, Viber, widgets or others that must remain active in order to function.
If the number of apps running in the background is too high, in addition to faster battery consumption, you will also have a slower mobile phone.
To find out which application is causing the problem and consuming resources, you can use a tool I have already talked about, Wakelock Detector .
This application is useful for checking which app consumes the most battery on Android which is also the one that consumes the most hardware resources.
2) Deactivate or freeze applications
If there are too many applications that consume a lot of resources and cause a general drop in Android performance, if you don't want to remove them, they can be frozen.
Greenify (only with Android Root) is an application that allows you to see which apps are running in the background by slowing down the device and allows you to pause or hibernate those that you want to disable.
This hibernation keeps the app turned off all the time, except when it is opened manually.
3) Always keep some free memory
Some devices suffer and slow down performance when they have little available memory.
As a rule it would be advisable not to fill more than 80% of the device's storage capacity to avoid lag.
It is therefore necessary to free up space on the memory of an Android mobile phone .

4) Speed up the transmission between Android system and hardware
Android receives information about the space that remains free from a memory controller.
This usually happens right away, but sometimes delays may occur which lead to a slowdown of the system.
If you have a cell phone unlocked with Root you can use the FSTRim application, which scans the memory, takes the information and sends it to the Android system, practically skipping the waiting process.
Lagfix can be installed from the Play Store only on compatible devices that support the TRIM command.
5) Optimize your mobile phone for games
If you use your smartphone a lot to play and there are slowdowns in the action and animations, the cause may be that there are too many services and applications running in the background that consume the device's memory.
There are two ways to optimize your memory device for a better gaming session.
You can then install the Game Booster application which frees up RAM by ending background services when you open a game.
Once Game Booster is installed, touch the '+' key to choose the game which, when open, must have all the dedicated resources.
6) Change default Launcher
It may be that the phone's default launcher, such as the Samsung or HTC Sense touchwiz, is heavy on the less modern and older phone.
It is therefore worth installing Apus, the fastest and lightest free launcher for Android .
Otherwise you can use other applications to optimize Android, free up memory and terminate processes .
