Hey there!
Maybe you haven't found it yet but I have. I'm not rooted yet so I really don't know whether it works on s4 mini but give it a try or just ask them if it does or not but here you are : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2422362

You should also check the S4 Mini General forums for the thread about debloating

[Q] FStrim does it work for the Ace 2 ? (JB)

I saw this app review on Phonearena (here's a link http://www.phonearena.com/news/Use-...rid-of-all-lag-in-your-Android-device_id39010) It says that it can get rid of lag The question is will it work on the ace 2 ? I saw some reviews on the play store (link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en) but there's no review from ace 2 users. It requires ROOT. I do not want to brick my phone. I'm asking this because JB for our Phone is lagging, I think that this app can fix our problems ?

It should work fine, but it will only yield notable results if your phone is lagging because of TRIM not being there.
If lag is caused by background processes (which uses up pretty much all our our 624 MB RAM) you MUST uninstall apps to yield better performance.
TRIM tries to solve the lag by removing old and defunct stuff in different partitions (/system, /data, etc). If you have lots of background apps, TRIM won't do very much.

[Q] After root, how do I free up space in my Tab S

Hello,
The one thing that I really hate about this tablet is the insane amount of bloatware preinstalled. I own the 16GB LTE version, and a whopping 4.42GB is taken up by "system files."
4 games later (RR3, NFS Most Wanted, Asphalt 8, Injustice) and a few basic apps and I have less than 1Gb left.
So I rooted, installed Root App Delete, and started deleting junk. I haven't touched any of the browns or reds yet, although deleting some of them seem to be harmless (like the pre-installed office suite app, for instance).
To my disappointment, the 4.42GB didn't budge at all, so I gotta delete more stuff, but what??? What can I safey delete that won't damage my tablet? Ideally, I'm looking for a list of items that can be safely deleted, from which I can choose based on my usage, as not to ruin the stock ROM.
Considering this is an Exynos device (yes, T805M, Exynos with LTE, lucky me ) and there'll not be a decent custom ROM available any time soon,I'm stuck with stock ROM. I'll have to make do with Nova Launcher and as few bloatware as possible.
This is a very interesting question because I also want to debloat my Tab S (SM-805).
I found this, maybe it helps you:

Thanks, dude!! That's EXACTLY what I was looking for. I'll try tonight.
Please share your experience when you did, would be interesting :good:

After I debloated some stuff and used greenify, battery life was increased for me. So now it doesnt drain as much as before.

Help make galaxy s5 a bad ass help

I want to make it into a beast can you guys help me out im pretty new at all this... plus my ex keeps putting spy wears and stuff
Firstly what OS is it on, because if it is on 4.3 jellybean like stock s3, u could root and install Xposed. Through this there are a variety of mods available, ie. tinted ui which look great BTW, or status bar tweaks. However, if u are running lollipop many modules may not work and cause a bootloop. A potential solution to this would beto flash a rom with the features you are looking for, ie. themes,root functionality, etc. To do this search s5 roms on xda adn try to find one most suitable. As for ur wife, well good luck

Tab S lag?

Hi guys,
I am planning to buy the Tab S with the Exynos processor in the Netherlands, but 50% of the people says it lags like hell, and the other 50% says it is really smooth and the best thing you can buy!
I can't decide whether it is good or not ( it has Android L).
Please help me out!
Kind Regards

Your question will not get you a clear answer as you need to match your specific user profile and previous devices with those saying the device is laggy. I do not find my Tab S 10.5 laggy on stock, rooted 5.0.2. I'm not a gamer and mainly use the device for media consumption (reading news, YouTube, Netflix and email), none of which is too taxing. I replaced the stock launcher with Nova Prime launcher and used Titanium Backup to freeze the majority of bloat wear which reduced the start times and memory used. My previous devices are a Nexus 5 phone and a Nexus 10 tablet.
Using this kind of analysis you may be able to determine if this tablet is "laggy" for your personal usage profile.

Root?
Thanks for the reply,
May I ask why you rooted it? Didn't you like the bloatware, or was it kinda not responsive?
I'm not sure where and when this lag occurs, but I've never experienced it.
However I'm not a gamer.
It doesn't lag in games in my experience. However, IMO it lags when you are switching between apps and launching apps, which is weird because I often use the multiwindow feature and the tablet is clearly capable of running two apps at the same time.
Btw, the reason why some people think it doesn't lag is because lag is a very subjective issue. What I consider lag may be totally acceptable to others.

Well I compare it to my htc m8 which is a powerful device in its own right and it compares admirably most of the time.
I think it's mostly down to TouchWiz not the hardware. Just too much bumpf under the hood.
Samsung need to learn that most people don't want all that baggage and to provide a more minimal experience. They can always offer the extras as optional downloads.
However I must say things like Web browsing have improved with lollipop and the stock browser. Its about the smoothest experience of all the available browsers.

Oh yes. Having used a Nexus 4 I know how smooth stock android can be. Samsung installs way too much crap on their devices, but I like the multi window feature too much to give up touchwiz. Last I heard the multiwindow feature still hasn't been implemented in AOSP Marshmallow.
Stock browser is amazing. I used to use chrome but it lagged like crazy. Not sure how Google can screw up chrome that badly, but then again chrome is a resource hog even on Windows.
NEver be a gamer on tablet, i always use it for media comsumption.
but, yeah, it's kinda laggy because my tablets installed with pre installed apps + full google apps.
And it's kinda lag sometime.
If you have Root, install Kernel Aduitor (free). The only thing you need to change is the Min CPU freq, 250 mhz is pretty slow.
450 or 650 mhz get things snappy.

I rooted for a few reasons. Proper device backups with Titanium Backups, superior audio with Viper4Android, Stickmount and immersion mode with GDM Gesture Control plus it's customized gestures. I use those root apps on all my devices.
I froze apps as several were being automatically started at boot time slowing down startup and unnecessarily using memory. I wanted a cleaner experience. The unwanted apps also clutter up your app menu, making it slightly more difficult to find the app you wanted to start. In general I freeze over removing as you cannot use that much of the freed up space except for SuperSU, Viper4Androis and Busybox. There are a few more but far less than the space freed by removing bloat wear.
I also dark themed TW settings and the notification bar as I cannot stand white backgrounds with black text but that was secondary to the root reasons listed above.
Due to the ability to root without tripping KNOX I could root without loosing my warranty. Without that I would have waited for a year until the warranty expired.

Does that work on the stock kernel if you are rooted?

For what it's worth, b4 I rooted I used Package Disabler pro and disabled 104 different services/packages. It made a huge difference and everything worked just fine. But, I got the rooting fever and now I'm even happier with my Tab S.

Ok to upgrade OS on 3G galaxy tab 3 7.0 model?

Hi.
Sorry for the double post. Didn't get a response in other thread.
I have a galaxy tab 3 7 inch with 4.1.2. Is it a good idea to upgrade the OS? I'm worried it may affect performance negatively. I know that 4.3 included trim support which should improve performance but thought I'd check here.
Thanks in advance.
Which model is yours? t211, t210, t111, t110, etc...
Though it wont decrease performance anyways.

And you are still using 4.1.2!!
upgrade to 4.4.2 and you can install Nolekat v1.1 over it, then install warewolf kernel v008, and then install gapps(whichever you like).
Then debloat it with any way you like.
works MUCH MUCH better then 4.1.2.
PM me if you wish some more explanation.
I'd like to stick with official roms if possible. I heard that it caused stability problems for someone with apps crashing frequently so trying to get some more info on what other people think.

other people think its the best action to upgrade. its your choice if you wish to stay on 4.1.2 or upgrade to 4.4.2 and install some tweaks to improve performance. if you ask my opinion, I would recommend to install the nolekat1.1 and warewolf kernel and then debloat.
and if you still wish to stay on stock, thats fine enough, at least debloat the stock rom for faster performance.
personal experience, i could not use the stock system with whatsapp, hangouts and a few more apps installed and using those almost daily, as it would be so slow to open any app.
And now, i can certainly use my device. My battery drains like 20%(still have 80%) in the whole day with like 1 hour of talk time and 1 hour of general internet usage.
And for the apps crashing problem, i am not sure who told you that, but i have not experienced any app crash that SHOULD not happen.
Okay. Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.
