How does it work? Have you also tried the AOT for all your apps to help with performance.
Depends on how you look at it. Before: startpage hast been stopped. Ok. Com.google.proesse.gapps has been stopped. Ok etc. After: pretty smooth sailing only gets pretty slow for web browsing but good enough to watch youtube on newpipe. And no I have not tried aot. In comparison to a xaomi mi 9t: quite slugish
The 2GB of RAM are really the bottleneck. I have a few other Snapdragon 800 / 801 phones like the Galaxy Note 3, LG G3, OG Oneplus and those 3GB make a world of difference.
It also only has a 32bit CPU. So I think Android 10 is as high as it goes. I never updated my Android 4.4 because it runs so much better on it.
Battery is pretty shot though so I only rarely use it at home now.
Im using the Xiaomi Mi9t as well. Straight from MIUI to Android 14 custom ROM with Niagara Launcher. Its so awesome. I still love that there isnt any notch or hole on the screen.
What's AOT?
Android uses a Just-in-Time (JIT) compile of applications. You can compile everything Ahead-of-Time (AOT) via adb. It would in theory improve performance when starting applications.
This is very interesting, I will check it. Are there any drawbacks?
Edit: Just tried it. No miracles, but got a noticeable gain is usability on my phone. I recommend it to everyone using low-end devices out there. The instructions I found used this command: adb shell cmd package compile -m speed -f -a
Yeah, I think you need to do it after any update. I do this on my OG Pixel XL
