Google's mobile operating system has received numerous optimizations over the years, but regardless of each version, there is always room to improve its performance. With that in mind, we came across L Speed, an app compatible with Android 4.0 or higher, in which we can adjust several parameters of memory, entropy, processor, battery, and animations, as long as the smartphone has "root" access.
The relationship between stability and performance should always keep a good balance, otherwise the only thing the user will achieve is losing time and increasing frustration. We can all take a config and push it to the extreme, but if the system starts spitting errors in all directions, that's an empty and meaningless performance. For years we have tuned every parameter available in Windows, and with the advance of mobile devices, the same vision moved to Android. Google's people managed to put their operating system on millions of smartphones and tablets, which means generic profiles that are not fully optimized for the installed hardware.
One of the first things any Android user should do to squeeze the most out of it is to gain administrator privileges, a process better known as rooting, and then apply the tweaks manually or download an app like L Speed. Its adjustments reach the processor, the entropy generator (some users may know it as a "seeder"), and RAM management. L Speed also lets you change cache behavior, apply specific kernel tweaks (assuming it supports them), and perform a "zipalign" on Android 4.4 or earlier. Battery life is extended thanks to deeper WiFi control, and other extra options.
Those who want specific descriptions of each available setting in L Speed can visit its official page or its dedicated section on the XDA Developers portal. As we mentioned at the beginning, L Speed reaches its full potential if the device has root access; otherwise, the options available to the user will be very limited. Compatible with Android 4.0 or higher.
You can download L Speed from the Google Play Store.
