How to make your android experience more fluid

Android is already a pretty smooth experience, but still if you've got the not so good hardware on your phone you can see glitches here and there, also even if your android device works good, and if you want it to be more faster then you can use these tips:

1. NEVER KILL APPS OR CLEAN APP CACHE
Apps can automatically get back if you manually kill them. When you kill them, the next time it is used it needs more memory to start up, hence your phone will go slow if it has low memory and it will drain the battery too, so using cleaning apps in your phone is a bad idea, they end up making your phone more slow. Another bad thing you keep doing to free that storage is erasing the app cache. Cache is a good thing, it stores data that the app needs right away when it is starting up. If you delete them the app again needs to create them or fetch them from the Internet, which is a lot of work and makes the experience slow.

2. Disabling or speeding up the Animations.
Animations needs some memory and processing to perform, though make the experience look beautiful, they might slow you phone. Animations work frame by frame which means there are images constantly changing or moving. Speeding the animations can save up a little time and makes the experience fluid, you can do this by going to the settings app. If you can't see 'Developer Options' category at the bottom of the settings, then you need to follow these steps, but if there is already a 'Developer Options' category then you can skip these:
1. Goto About phone from the settings app
2. Tap the build number 7 or 8 times until you become a developer
Once you are a developer you can see the Developer options

Now, inside developer options, scroll down to where the heading is 'drawing', there you can find three options saying
- Window Animation Scale
-Transition Animation Scale
-Animator Duration Scale
Now all you have to do is tweak these settings. Most of them are set to '1x' which is okay, but '.5x' better is seems faster. Set all the three to '.5x' or if your phone has even less than that then select that, maybe '.25x', you can also turn all the animations off.

These won't make your phone fly but this will surely increase your phone's performance.
