🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Enable Developer Options

To access the settings needed for these changes, you must first enable Developer Options.

1. Open Settings on your Android device.
2. Scroll down and tap About phone.
3. Find Build number and tap it 7 times until you see the message "You are now a developer!" (You may need to enter your PIN or password).

2. Adjust Animation Speed

Reducing the animation scale can improve the perceived speed of your phone.

1. Open Settings.
2. Scroll down and tap System > Developer options.
3. Scroll to the Drawing section and look for:
   • Window animation scale
   • Transition animation scale
   • Animator duration scale
4. Set each option to 0.5x. This will speed up animations and make your phone feel faster.

3. Scale Display to 1.5x

Adjusting the display scale provides a wider screen appearance.

1. In Developer options, scroll to the Drawing section.
2. Tap on Smallest width.
3. Increase the value by 1.5 times. For example:

4. Limit Background Processes

Reducing background processes can help improve performance and battery life.

1. Go to Developer options.
2. Scroll to Apps and tap on Background process limit.
3. Set it to At most 4 processes or fewer. This will free up system resources and improve speed.

5. Disable Auto-Sync for Unnecessary Accounts

Auto-sync consumes battery and data by continuously syncing apps in the background.

2. Tap on each account and disable Auto-sync for accounts you don’t need updating in real-time.
3. You can manually sync accounts like email when needed.

6. Turn Off Unnecessary Animations

If you want to maximize performance, you can disable animations entirely.

1. Go to Developer options.
2. Set the following to Animation off:
   • Window animation scale
   • Transition animation scale
   • Animator duration scale
3. Disabling animations entirely will make actions like opening apps instantaneous.

7. Optimize Battery Usage

Limit background apps that consume excessive power.

1. Open Settings > Battery.
2. Tap on Battery usage and review apps consuming a lot of power.
3. Tap on those apps and select Restrict background activity to preserve battery.
