Seeder: Speed up and Reduce Lags on Android

seeder reduce lag

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!

How to Take Screenshots on Anrdoid

How to Take Screenshots on Anrdoid

Have you tried taking screenshots in your android device? Are you confused how and being troubled how to do such a thing? In this post, we will going to show you how to take screenshots on android device in a very simple way you could do it. This could be done on any android device including the newer released smartphones and tablets, Samsung Galaxy series, Nexus series and more.

How to Take Screenshots on Android

For Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and up

This is a very simple and popular method, almost all new android device was equipped with ICS or later android OS versions. You are lucky because screenshot feature is already built in to your device. All you have to do is press Volume Down + Power button at the same time and hold them for a 1-2 seconds, it will take a screenshot and there will be a shutter sound and an image preview of your screenshot. View your screenshot in your Gallery.

For below Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

Unfortunately, your phone does not have the built in capability to take screenshots, not unless it was equipped by your device manufacturer. According to my own experience with Samsung's Android devices, they have their own combination keys to take screenshots. Just like my Galaxy Mini, I can do screenshots on my phone. Below combo keys on taking screenshots might work for you.

Home + Power button, press and hold them for a few seconds to take a screenshot.
Back + Power button, press and hold them for a few seconds to take a screenshot.

If non of these methods worked for your android device, you may try the following options:

1. Install 3rd Party apps found in Google's Play Store, they may require you to root your phone.
2. You have to flash custom ROM for your android device that has screenshot feature (like CyanogenMod).

Now you know how to take screenshot on android.
