[Q] best performance without rooting... - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bought my mother this tablet for Christmas, don't want to root it, but want the best performance possible. I already opened up developer mode and turned all animation scales to off... What else can I do?

Disabling system apps you don't use. Flipboard, handcom office, my Knox etc. Disabling a few should lower ram usage

Samsung TechTile NFC Tags

So my local Sprint store had some Samsung "TechTile" NFC tags to use with their app. So I bought some (15$ for 5 tags) and took them home, and immediatley erased them via nfc app on my phone, and reprogrammed them with the same app and it works like a charm. The thing that bugs me about the phone is having to unlock the home screen to scan NFC tags. which sucks but oh well.
Have you checked out the nfc screen off mods? Not sure if it works on the US Variant but check out the thread over at the S3 boards.

No, it borks my NFC completely...although it wouldn't be hard to adapt to our phones, as its just adjusting the power settings for nfc...

I got my 5 pack from tags for droids. Was about $10 bucks.
amazon everything lol
what are the offbrand ones called on amazon? do they program/work in the same way?
just type in nfc tags...i forget the brand but theres only like 2 choices. To answer your other question I think you just need an nfc programmer app

So, anytime you wanna charge the phone, it would open Maps and you would have to close the Maps?
More like you can tag it to turn on Bluetooth when you get in the car and turn it off when you get out. Or turn on wifi when you get home by scanning a tag on your front door.

I'd like to turn on and off wifi when I enter and leave my home. But a Tasker script would be better.

To set your Alarm and make sure the volume is up, when you set your phone on your night stand is a very good idea. No effort and you'll always be good to go. We are human!

Cannot turn on Samsung Reactivation Lock

Just flashed a custom kernel and now I can't turn on the Samsung Reactivation lock.. Does it only work for official Unrooted Stock rom? Currently using NF4.
I've also got issues with some games like Dark Avenger... Thanks for the help in advance..

You're not meant to activate Reactivation Lock once you modify your device, it is very dangerous and may cause an endless brick.

Do you have any developer options enabled by any chance?
Also since you run a custom kernel, you can control how fast the GPU runs, make it at 450.

Download additional camera modes: did you know it?

Well I was disappointed Sunday by the available surround capturing mode in my Edge when I found out today in the camera settings that you can actually download many additional modes, included the previous surround mode I was used to set in my S4 LTE+!
I think that many of us didn't know it either or?

Change Ultra Power Saving Mode Restricted Apps

All, I am planning on buying an S7 edge.
Is it possible to change the apps that are restricted in ultra power saving mode, whether it be through a ROM or third party app?

Changing my answer. UPSM mode from the playstore do this with root and only cost 1 dollar.
I added Messenger and Chrome and I can almost run Ultra Power Saving Mode as my daily driver now
Nah, kidding. But if you know you're going for a long trip and only need Spotify, Facebook and a few others, it's great, as it still restricts a lot of other apps, so still saving power (even though adding apps, kills the benefit from saving mode)
hello, nothing news of this tread? i want to use other apps without restricted, thanks.

Yes battery works nicely than any other firmware,if you optimized apps well.
Yeah, it certainly may last for more than a week in always-on-mode. I've never seen a phone like this;; looks far better optimized than Xiaomi's. Great! :good:

Yeah, what I meant by always-on-mode is extremely power-saving mode, the blank screen except a clock maybe. No processors on-going background is still not enough for most of the smart phones to last for couple of days. So pls don't feel sarcastic. :victory: Maybe I am talking too much on your forum???

You can uninstall most of app from flyme from settings. Some of them that we can count in fingers can be moved to a folder and never open it in future. Or else you can unistall those apps with root.

What did you do? Because, if you root the phone, you lose OTA updates, if you choose to put those remaining apps in a folder, can we freeze/stop them so they cannot work in background without using an app?
