[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] chevycam94:
Im curious to see what others have done to improve the general performance of their Note 4's. Seeing as Quadrant is rediculously out of day, Im using Antutu.

Basically all Ive done to mine so far, is stop/block 141 apps/services, and changed a couple settings in Developer Options.

Share some tips/tricks you have learned to improve the system overall! :D

These settings are what I changed from default.
