hey guys welcome back without going into
all of the details I've had to basically
reupload my video because somebody well
I mean actually one of my subscribers
didn't like the fact that I had used a
10 second clip from his video just
showing a USB fan in action now because
I used his clip he didn't like that and
you know instead of trying to discuss it
with me trying to come to some agreement
even though I had mentioned his name in
the video description
even though I had given him credit you
know I thought was okay but clearly he's
very upset with this and instead of
another I come to some agreement with me
he's reported me to YouTube and and you
know he's got a strike on my channel so
so yeah so that's how things are rolling
these days so I mean forget the
authorities trying to like you know shut
down youtubers and everything else
we now have other people you know a
subscribers we now have subscribers
trying to shut down your channel because
because of what because you used a 10
second clip from the video but anyway I
mean I don't unlike put this on a
negative and I don't to mention his name
because I don't wanna bring him more
attention I mean if that's what he wants
to do then fair enough but I mean I have
tried to contact him or sent him emails
I've left in comments on his videos just
saying you know can we please come to
some agreement I'm happy to delete your
portion of my video but please can you
retract that copyright strike because
you know if I get three of those and
that's my channel gone but he'd he does
him won't answer those emails we saw
what happened to Kevin port is his
channel last week where he caught three
strikes and that was his channel gone
but what happened after that the
community got together you know we
reached out to him we try to help him
and within 24 hours or so his channel
was back so that's what I thought you
know being a community was all about
looking out for each other supporting
each other moving forward as a team but
clearly other people have other ideas
but I mean I don't know too much more
into it now but sauce happened that's
the way is and let me just apologize
once again for reupload in this video
but there was nothing else I could do
hey tech doctor what's the best way I
can supercharge my Android box and make
it run as fast and cool as possible
well in this video today I'll be showing
you my top tips on how you can get the
best possible performance from your
Android box so it all of that being said
let's get
okay so I'm doing all of my tweaks on my
Android box which is the Android MX 10
but you can also apply these tweaks on
any other Android box but also the
official Android TV boxes like the show
me me box or the Nvidia shield so let me
just say right off the bat guys I would
say probably the number one reason for a
box performing slow is to do with RAM or
to do with RAM management now what this
means is how many things are running in
the background and how much RAM your
device has to be able to run and manage
those things at the same time so one of
the first things you can do which is
going to be the first tip is to
uninstall any program or app that you're
not currently using so the way we do
that is if you go over to your settings
go into your applications and we can see
guys all the applications that you have
installed anything that you're not using
just uninstall it so for example I'm not
using this app let's click on that now
click on full stop click on OK and click
on uninstall so the full stop just
ensures that if it is running in the
background it will be terminated first
then you can uninstall it cleanly so not
only have you gained some space back on
your device if that particular
application had some processes running
in the background and installing that
would obviously remove that as well so
this will definitely help out your
device perform better let's remove this
one here click on uninstall click on OK
that's now also gone because we know
with certain applications they do
receive notification so I love them do
have some background processes which
they leave running to receive those
notifications but again if we uninstall
them they'll prevent that happening ok
so that's the first tip ok so I
mentioned RAM management so one of the
things that Apple has been doing really
well for a very long time is they just
don't allow many applications to run in
the background obviously the core Apple
apps you can run any third-party
application you trying to store on your
you know on your iPhone or your iPad it
just can't run in the background because
apple just don't allow it and this is
one of the key reasons why I believe
right up to i phone 6 the devices or
those phones only had one gig of ram
which just sounds like solo but those
devices only had one gig of ram just
because because it really heard the
memory management under control where
boy we just don't allow things to run in
the background now compare that to
android phones
they've had like you know two gig full
gig I think some funds even come out now
with like 8 gig ram just because the
disc on seem to manage the memory as
well as iPhones so this is one of the
reasons why and referrals tend to have
more RAM than iPhones just because on
Android is a bit more like the Wild West
in terms of what kerning in the
background or his iPhones are a lot more
strict and a lot more lockdown and they
limit what kind of things can run in the
background now the reason why I told you
this all back story is the fact that we
can actually apply it tweak on our
Android devices to limit how many things
can run in the background so the session
gonna be two tips in one and the way we
do that is we have to enable the
developer options so on your Android
phone or your Android box we go over to
settings again and go over to about so
we need to enable the developer options
because this one the hidden settings in
there and the way we do that is if we go
down into build where it says your build
number and if you take care about seven
or eight times so one two three
she even tells you no I see your four
clicks or four steps from being a
developer so keep clicking array we're
now a developer so what this basically
means is we've now unlocked those hidden
developer options and the way we access
those if you back out of this so we can
now see in the standard settings we have
developer options lets us open that up
so there are quite a lot of cool things
in here that you can play about with but
you can actually really mess up your
device so unless you know what you're
doing I advise you not to play with
these settings except once I'm gonna
tell you to play with so if you scroll
down so the first thing we're looking
for is animation so Android to make
yourself look a bit nice and pretty
it has different animation settings
which are these things here so you got
the animation scale for the windows for
transitions and animation the animated
duration scale so this basically means
you know how slowly to animate something
so when you're transitioning between
applications when you're minimizing
things when you're reopening things how
slowly should I do that so it can look
quite nice but if you're after maximum
performance you want to turn these three
things off because basically saying is I
don't want to see the animation I want
to see it go nicely up and nasty down
just take me back to my application or
to ever I was doing so the way we do
that is just click on this first and
select off open the next one and let's
select off and open the last one and
select animation off so once again which
is saying we don't care about
means we don't have a super-powerful box
we just want to make it run as fast as
possible and these three settings here
will definitely make it do that and this
is the other key thing here guys so if
you scroll down we're now looking for
background process limit so this is
basically saying on an operating system
level
how many background processes can run at
the same time in the background so as I
previously mentioned if you do have lot
of applications installed and running in
the background that can definitely slow
down your device especially if you only
have one or two gig ram you really are
putting a lot of strain on your device
so one of the things you can do here is
is limit how many of those background
processes can run at the same time so
it's click on that now see what the
option of saying standard limit which is
a default so you got no background
processes so our definite recommend
don't do this one because you're
basically saying nothing and running in
the background and if we did this on a
cell phone you could potentially just
you know crush your device I definitely
don't do that I personally think having
four things running the background is is
okay it's not too much it's not too less
I think with this you should be able to
run most of the things you want to do
especially on an Android box so you
could be running your VPN in the
background maybe one of your apks and
you know have to space with two more
things so so you can try with this first
and if you really think this is too many
things running in the background you can
maybe go down to three I personally
wouldn't go down to two or one because I
think that's just gonna mess up your
device but you know if you really have
like a super cheap device maybe you
could try to but I think four or three
should make a massive difference
compared to like what you had before so
let me just leave for for now now one of
the other key things to mention here is
on certain devices you can set this
thing now but if you do actually reboot
your device this may go back to the
standard limit so if so if you do reboot
your device definitely go back in here
and make sure it's still set to at the
most four processes so we've turned off
all the animations and we set the
background process limit to four okay
let's back out off that okay so next up
we have ventilation so as with pretty
much all devices once you start getting
too hot it can cause problems so but for
example on a fire stake when it does get
to a certain temperature the device our
she restarts and on Android box is
having the device running too hot for a
long time you will also get crushes
maybe your device will regularly restore
and this could also affect the lifespan
of your device so we definitely want to
keep
voice running as cool as possible so a
small quick hack we can do is we can buy
a small USB fan from Amazon or from eBay
literally for like five or ten dollars
place is underneath your device and this
will keep your device running cool most
under boxes at least have one or two USB
ports so you can actually plug it in it
doesn't need any extra power and this
will allow your device to keep cool
while you're using it okay so the last
tip as we know the Google Play Store
will look at your device and then based
on your device it will show you which
applications you can install and which
applications you can't install so
because of that you may be limited in
what you can install on your Android box
now one way to get around that is to use
a different application store so the
applications that I'm going to show you
in this video is called
aptoide TV now the way we get that is if
you open up a browser like puffin TV or
Chrome open up a browser and just search
for aptoide TV now we can see it's the
first link in the results let's click on
that now this will take you to the
official upload TV web site and we can
then click on the orange download button
which will download the apk to your
device let's do that now I wake see that
begins the download okay let's now click
on the downloaded apk and click on
install okay let's open that up and as
you can just see hey guys we have access
to thousands of thousands of
applications all from a trusted source
that we can install on our device with
one click with no limitations and that's
all for this video guys many thanks for
watching so many fewer asking for tips
on how to improve your Android box
performance so I do hope you like this
one let me know
