How to Make Android Like New Again

 

You may have noticed that your Android phone is starting to look a bit stale after some time. There are some ways you can make your phone feel fresh again. One simple way to refresh your phone is to change its wallpaper. Here are some tips to do so:

Change the default apps

If you'd like to change the default apps on your Android phone or tablet, you've come to the right place. The Android OS allows you to change the default apps for many categories. For instance, you can change the default search engine, web browser, phone app, messaging app, or home screen launcher. Here's how. First, you need to open the Settings app. Then, go to Apps & notifications. Finally, tap on Default apps.

To change the default app on Android, first go to Settings, Apps, System, and then tap on "Change". You will be prompted to select an option. Then, choose "Always" or "Select a specific category." Once you've selected the option, Android will remember your choice. However, it's possible that you'll accidentally set a specific app as the default.

Next, tap Settings, Apps & notifications. Tap on "Default apps." Then, select the app you want to be the default one. Repeat this step for every application and category. You can also set different default apps for each category. A good example of this is the email app. The email app should prompt the user for their preference, rather than being set as the default. This way, it won't become cluttered and clutter-free.

After installing the app, you can change the default ones again. This is especially useful for those who have non-Google apps. Samsung phones may come with Bixby, but you may not like that digital assistant. If you have installed a third-party launcher, you may also want to change the default apps. The process isn't complicated, and you can always restore your defaults if you make a mistake.

Change the home screen

Changing the home screen of Android is as easy as selecting the appropriate settings on the system. Then, you can add or remove elements from the screen by selecting them, dragging and dropping them, or resizing them. You can also create more than one home screen. To create an unlimited number of home screens, you should first select the type of customization you want and then proceed to the next step.

You can change the default app on Android by finding it in Settings. However, it may be a little tricky if you have an older model of the software. In such a case, it is best to search for the default app in the Settings menu. Once you've found it, you can change the home screen to reflect your preferences. However, remember that the apps will not be as organized as they were before, so you might need to spend some time organising them, creating folders, and picking the right wallpaper.

If your Android device doesn't have a default home screen, you can change the layout and behavior using launchers. These apps are designed to customize the home screen. You can customize the icons, app branding, and more, adjusting the number of columns and rows in the layout may also be possible. Some launchers also support gesture shortcuts, offer more widgets, and learn about your preferences and habits.

Customizing your Android home screen can be a fun and easy way to give it a personal touch. Customizations available for Android are vast and you can easily change the look and feel of your device. There are a few ways to customize the home screen of Android, but some things may be restricted. The most obvious customization is the wallpaper. You can use the bundled wallpaper or upload your own pictures.

Change the wallpaper

If you want to customize your Android phone, you can easily change the default wallpaper. Most Android phones come with an array of wallpapers to choose from, but the selection is not always the best. To change the wallpaper, head over to your settings and tap on Display. Then, tap on Wallpaper. Here, you can select from gallery pictures or stock images. You can also choose a different wallpaper for your lock screen.

One of the easiest ways to change the wallpaper on Android is to add pictures to the device's gallery. You can also use the app to choose pictures from your device's Gallery. This is especially useful if you take pictures with your phone. Once you've added your picture to the app, select it and press "Set as Wallpaper".

You can also change the wallpaper on your home screen by long-pressing it. Then, navigate to the screen you want to change. On OnePlus phones, swipe left or right on the top of the screen to switch between the lock screen and home screen. Then, select the photo you'd like to change as your home screen. This is an excellent option for busy individuals who don't want to be distracted by the default wallpaper.

If you prefer a more personal touch, you can browse the gallery of preset wallpapers or choose one from your camera. If you're not fond of preset wallpapers, you can also browse the community's photo library. Changing your wallpaper is one of the easiest ways to change your Android like new. So go ahead and change your wallpaper! You'll be glad you did. It's quick, easy, and free.

Reduce background activity

If your phone is draining your battery and consuming your data plan, you may want to reduce background activity on your phone. To reduce background activity, you can turn off your background-useful apps, or limit the frequency of these actions. You should also consider uninstalling any apps that regularly update their feeds. This can make your phone perform worse and drain your battery faster. Here are some tips to help you make your Android phone run like new again.

Firstly, check the apps that are using a lot of power in the background. These could be running bugs, or unused apps. If you're using your phone for GPS, uninstall the app if it's not used. Also, turn off Wi-Fi and GPS hardware to stop them from using too much power. Good location services will consume moderate amounts of battery power. You can disable these services by going into the Settings app and selecting Developer options.

Secondly, go to the Battery settings section of the Settings app. You'll find a "See all X apps" option. Scroll down until you find the Offending app. Tap on the On/Off slider next to the Battery entry. The Offending app will no longer work in the background and will only run when it's open. You can then decide whether or not to use it. If you're using a battery-hogging app that is consuming too much battery power, you can disable it.

Root your Android device

It's a well known fact that rooting your Android device will void the warranty. Rooting your device will also remove the official OTA updates. The process can be tricky and will make you a geek. But it's definitely worth the effort, savvy, and risk. Luckily, there are many resources available online to help you root your device. Here are some tips to make rooting your device as easy as possible.

Once rooted, you can add a standard Linux function to your phone. When rooting your phone, you'll create a file called su in the system and give it administrator rights. Su stands for Switch User. You can switch your user credentials and permissions to this new superuser. Once the file is in your system, you'll have complete control over your device and can do whatever you want. You'll even be able to access functions you couldn't use before.

Another benefit to rooting your device is that you'll be able to install customized kernels. These can be designed for power efficiency or speed. You can also use a program called Set CPU to overclock your processor, and set usage rules to prevent your device from using its battery when it's not in use. In addition to custom kernels, a rooted device can be used for many purposes and will perform better than it did when it was brand new.

Rooting your Android device allows you to access cool apps and make it feel like new. By enabling system files, you can install applications that your carrier has blocked, install cool new hardware, and use Beats Audio. Rooting your Android device can even give you access to exclusive Moto X features. So what are the pros and cons? Let's take a closer look. After you've rooted your phone, there are a few other options that you may want to check out.
