[Nokia X] :
Hi.

I just wrote a similar post in reply to a member's thread.It took me more than 1.5 hours,but when I finished my browser closed and all that work was proved to be in vain.

These are the tips which will help you to improve your phone's battery usage,ram and overall performance.

Disclamiar:Follow at your own risk.I am not responsible for any damage.

These are for people using and which plan to use stock roms.Custom roms can help you alot.Thanks to developers for them.

(I don't speak english.So sorry,if you cannot understand anything or something feels wrong.Ask me below for questions and any doubts.It is my 1st post.

TIPS:

1. Uninstall unwanted apps and those which dont work.Like games which you dont play.

Have a complete look at all the apps you have installed or are pre-installed.

If you dont use Here Maps,uninstall it.

Social apps like Facebook,bbm,viber,twitter,whatsapp use backgroung processing and network data leading to less ram.Uninstall which you dont use.For Facebook use Facebook lite version app.

For uninstalling these apps you need Titanium backup.Your device must be rooted and have Superuser installed.You can also disable apps from titanium backup so they wont work and you can defrost them any time you need them later.

2.If you think that you may need any app again in future.Copy its apk file.

Tutorial:

I use X-plore file manager for this purpose and for exploring root.It is free.

Install it and click on app manager.Select the app by long pressing on it or touching the 'marking' sign in front of it.You can mark multiple files at a time.Then copy them to your desired internal or external sdcard.You will have to open the target folder in the second pane.Click copy but dont tick move.You have succesfully copied desired file's apk to your sdcard.

If you are rooted,you can even copy apks of apps which are system apps and are not shown in app manager.

In xplore go to root,then system,then app.You will probably find all of the system apps apk here.Copy the ones you need like you did above.

This tip is especially useful for those wondering where their app's apk go after installing from google play store.You can find those apks in App manager,system>apps and also the ones you update and install only from google play from Data>apps.Even the apps included in google apps package and were updated like store,google services and weather and news etc from Data>apps.In order to know which app is it,click on it.It will ask you to install.You will be able to see the app's name in the appeared window.

You need root access for accessing System and Data inside Root folder.

Also you can learn which app was updated from 'Titanium backup'.It will show updated infront of those apps.

(I searched internet for above tip for a long time but could not find it,not all of it.Then I learnt it myself and shared with you.)

3.Install any taskmanager app,Greenify is the best b/c of its ease of use and other factors.It does not require root.But you will only get real benefit if you are rooted and will be able to hibernate all apps even those which dont hibernate in non-root mode like Uc Browser and other system apps.It requires donation package to greenify system apps.Get a donated version and install xposed then xposed's framework inside it.You will be in boost mode.You can check it by clicking Mode in Greenify.

4.Use Google play store instead of Nokia store.It is a lot better than nokia store and others.

Check if HERE supports your country and has maps for your country.If not then there is not point in keeping it.Uninstall it using Titanium Backup,scroll down to Here in titanium backup and uninstall it.If you really use maps but are not available on Nokia Here,try Google Maps or any other.

Maps,Email and social apps work in background and use mobile data.

5.Everytime you close an app make sure delete its notification from fastlane and also if you have updated your software,swipe down from upper side of touch screen,you will have and icon left of setting icon,it will be like swapping icon.Click it and then close all the apps except the one you are running right now by touching cross sign below them or just scroll up from down and click close all apps.

6.Move some heavy apps to your sdcard to free some space for other apps by going to setting>apps>manage apps>all and click on the apps you want to move and then click move to phone storage.

7.There are many applications which claim to optimize your ram and improve performance,you can check them out but most of them are not free.

For example,Sd card caches plus booster pro downloads caches to your sd card instead of default data folder which we accessed above.

And ther ram boosters,Battery saver pro plus booster etc.

See this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2771255

For these apps.

8.This tip will feel a bit unusual but I know it works great because I have a mobile repairing background.

Always,Always keep your phone clean.Avoid

Taking it out in dust and rain or where ever there is a chance of getting it wet and dirty.

Use a soft cloth to clean your phone from outside and remove your battery clean it and especially battery terminals,then clean the terminals of battery inside the phone.4 of them are there which touch the battery and hence the phone gets power from battery.

If there is any dirt or foreign object or layer gently rub it off with a cloth or use a soft brush.You can use your old tooth brush too for cleaning purpose.

Actualy when any extra layer of dirt or water etc. is present on battery terminals,it messes with the supply of current to the phone.it can cause less power supply or even sudden increase which may lead to a dead phone or damaged phone.

JUst DONT GO ALL WILD AND BREAK THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND ANYTHING ELSE.

9.Dont forget the little hole about 3mm away from usb port on touch screen.Microphone is under it so clean off the dirt inside it or else the other person may not be able to hear you when on a call.

10.Dont use cracks and patchers too much.They can cause some application to stop suddenly.

11.Before installing any app,patch or custom rom or kernels,please thoroughly read all the instruction provided to know their pros and cons and also learn what problems they can cause so you may fix them and dont have to point your finger towards their developers for your loss.If they provided you with all information and somehow you damage your phone,it will be your fault.Only if they say everything will be fine,just install and dont tell you about the faults,then they can be responsible.

12.Feel free to search this forum and the internet to get more information.

Hope these help.

Again sorry for bad punctuation and spellings.If you dont understand anything,post below.I dont know much english.

Thanks..
