I certainly know you've been having a hard time finding out how to speed up and reduce lags on your android device. Now, I would like to share to you one of the most effective ways to reduce lags on your android and dramatically speed it up by just installing a root required android application.

Let me introduce to you Seeder, an android application that generates entropy that results to a significant reduction of lags and boost its performance. Seeder works as a performance tuner and an android manager but it requires Root Access to perform. This one of the easiest way to boost your android's performance, you may also try disabling android services and apps to increase RAM on your android device.

Seeder: Speed up and Reduce Lags on Android

Let us begin with checking if your android device has root access to the system. If your device was not yet rooted, you must root it now (search "how to root android" in this blog for the guide).

Next step will be downloading of the Seeder application. To download the APK, you may visit the original thread of Seeder on XDA here and look for Seeder 2.0.0.apk or your may directly download it here. Now if your done, copy the downloaded Seeder app and move it to your android device.

From your android device, find the seeder application which you have copied and install it as a normal APK or android application. After installing, open it and you will notice that there's a combo box which you can select a RNG service performance profile. You may select whichever you want, in my case I use Aggressive and it works best. You may check Start automatically on boot to start it automatically when you have just turned on your android and you may also check Suspend RNG service while screen is off so it won't run when your screen is turned off.

Finally, turn it on to start the Service but make it sure that you have granted Superuser rights. You will see that the application keeps your entropy up, that means that the service is working and it speeds up and reduces lags on your android device.

Enjoy!

I know there's so many of you who wants to try editing or creating their own taste by modifying android apps or APK files. Here is the guide which you can use as your start to modding.

Here are the process which you need to know about APKTool Basics: Modding Android Apps.

First we must setup everything required apps. Download them here.
Now extract APKTool to:

C:\APKTool\

After all mentioned above, we are now ready for modding.

I. Installing Framework
II. Decompiling
III. Start Editing
IV. Recompile
V. Signing

APKTool Basics: Modding Android Apps

I. INSTALLING FRAMEWORK

Installing your ROM's framework will be the first thing to do when modding to obtain compatibility.

1. You must take/copy the "framework-res.apk" file from your current ROM and place it to APKTool folder, you can find it at "system/framework/framework-res.apk".

2. Go to APKTool folder and run "Command Prompt" file as administrator.

3. A command prompt will appear and type this command.

apktool if framework-res.apk

II. DECOMPILING

Decompiling is the process of decoding or producing the source codes of any program. Without decompiling a program, it is impossible to be read by human. We must decompile APK files so we can be able to edit XML files and smali files. 

To decompile an APK file, you must place it to APKTool folder and run command prompt. So this is the command to decompile.

apktool d sample.apk sample_folder

In my case I want to decompile my SystemUI.apk which is responsible for Statusbar elements.

After successful decompiling APK, a folder will be created as what you named it.

III. EDITING

This is the difficult part of modding. For now, start with replacing icons and PNGs but be sure it has the same file extension and the same size. 

You can find the icons and PNGs used in the APK by opening the decompiled APK folder

\res\drawable-nodpi

\res\drawable-hdpi or mdpi or ldpi, depends on your screen resolution.

I'll be posting more of it soon so let's just stick with the basic guides.

IV. RECOMPILING

This will be the stage of rebuilding the codes, XMLs and smali files back into a single APK file. To recompile, simply run the command prompt follow this command:

apktool b sample_folder_name new_sample.apk

In my case, I want to recompile my decompiled SystemUI folder.

V. SIGNING APK

Sign only non system apps unless you have modified AndroidManifest.xml file. From command prompt, type:

java -jar SignApk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 sample.apk signed_sample.apk

Done!
