Cleaning the Android phone: programs and how to run

If you daily and actively use your gadget on the platform "Android", then for sure not once faced with any problems in terms of "garbage", which loads the interface, interfering with the full operation of the device, and sometimes completely "hangs" the entire system .

This includes some incomplete processes in the manager, a cache of games and applications, auxiliary files / logs of the browser (history / cookies), etc. Day after day, all this (sometimes completely unnecessary) information accumulates and slowly clogs up your gadget . In this case, you can clean your phone with built-in tools, or with third-party applications. The first version is designed for those who know the platform "Android" more or less, and the second one is more universal and simple.

So, let's try to figure out what the system cleaning of the phone is, how to do it and what tools it is better to use.

Built-in Functionality

If you feel that your gadget is starting to run slower, there are some friezes and hangs of the interface, then you can try to do the standard steps that platform developers recommend.

These include cleaning the phone with built-in tools:

• Delete all unnecessary applications with the cache through the settings menu;
• Transfer all the "heavy" data to an external SD card;
• Turn off the GPS;
• Turn off synchronization and unused services;
• Update the firmware platform;
• Reset to factory settings.

In most cases, these steps are enough to make your gadget work properly. But if such a cleaning of the phone "Android" did not help, then you can use third-party utilities that will quickly and accurately clean your device. All the applications described below are easy to find in the "Play Store", so there should not be any problems with any adaptation for a particular device.

Clean Master

Clean Master for "Android" is a powerful and most popular utility for cleaning a mobile device. His duties include working with the cache, removing unused applications and processing the logs of the browser (history, cookies).

In addition to the main functionality, Clean Master for Android includes a smart antivirus that works online. Moreover, the utility is equipped with an interesting helper to activate various energy-saving modes, which will largely save the battery charge.

Let's list the capabilities of the application:

• Clearing the cache, unused applications and browser logs;
• The mode of automatic acceleration of applications and games (up to 80%);
• Function "Cooling" - detection (if necessary - disconnecting) of demanding programs in order to avoid overheating of the processor;
• Energy saving mode due to application optimization;
• AppLock - allows you to hide some sections from prying eyes (SMS, contacts, photo galleries, etc.);
• Built-in antivirus (there is also more reliable, but as basic protection - it's enough);
• There is a backup (backup of system files to external media);
• The startup wizard is the control of applications at all stages.

Features of the program

If the gadget's memory allows, then safely install the standard version of the utility, otherwise - the light version (Lite) with the cut-down functionality. When the free space is very tight, you can try the desktop application Clean Master. That is, it will be used to clean the phone through a computer.

Power Clean

This is a small, free and intuitive application to speed up your gadget. The program for cleaning the phone Power Clean will almost instantly get rid of the accumulated cache, browsing history and browser cookies, as well as disable unnecessary or rarely used applications and system add-ins.

In addition, the utility will free up the RAM and will keep a certain reserve for the normal operation of the platform interface (you can disable it). The thing is very useful if you forget to close the background programs.

The main features of the utility:

• Cleaning the phone from unnecessary cache and browser logs;
• Working with RAM;
• The application manager will allow you to disconnect all unnecessary from one branch;
• AppLock;
• Output really full information about your device.

Game Booster

This utility is mainly designed to optimize gaming applications, but it also feels quite adequate with other home-based programs. The utility is very simple: when you launch the selected application, Game Booster disables all background and current platform processes (except the main system ones) and directs resources to maintain the active task, which allows you to significantly increase the speed and stability of the latter.

In addition, the basic functionality of the program includes clearing the cache and logs of the browser. The utility takes up very little space and is almost invisible in the system registry in terms of resource consumption.

Functionality of the application:

• The launch of games in an individual mode (with the disconnection of all third-party processes);
• Clearing the cache and logs of the browser.

Summarizing

When choosing applications of this kind, be sure to consider the capabilities of your phone. Modest and budgetary models do not make sense to install "heavy" and resource-intensive utilities, because they only aggravate the already sad position of the cluttered system. The same Clean Master requires at least 512 MB of RAM and several hundred megabytes of free space on the internal media.

For unpretentious smartphones it's better to find the same simple utilities for cleaning, - not demanding and not taking up the lion's share of memory space (Power Clean and Game Booster). Be sure to keep this point in mind before downloading any application you like, otherwise you will only make your gadget worse.
