Whether you're rocking a Galaxy S24 Ultra or an A-series device, these tips go beyond the basics and unlock the hidden power of One UI:
---
1. Enable Developer Options & Optimize Animation Speed
Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Tap “Build number” 7x
Then head to Settings > Developer options
Set “Window animation scale”, “Transition animation scale”, and “Animator duration scale” to 0.5x for faster transitions
2. Use RegiStar via Good Lock for Advanced Back Tap Gestures
Download Good Lock > RegiStar module
Enable Back-Tap Actions: assign torch, camera, screenshot, or even run Tasker scripts
3. Limit Background Processes to Reduce Heating & Battery Drain
Developer Options > Limit background processes
Try At most 2 processes or No background processes (impacts multitasking but helps thermals)
4. Maximize Battery Life with Battery Protection
Settings > Battery > More battery settings > Protect battery
Limits charge to 85% to preserve long-term battery health
5. Automate with Modes & Routines
Set up location, time, or app-based automations
Example: Auto-enable battery saver + dark mode when battery drops below 30%
6. Force All Apps into Multi-Window Mode
Enable “Force activities to be resizable” in Developer Options
Works great for apps that don’t normally support split-screen (like Instagram)
7. Disable Bloatware via ADB (Advanced)
Use ADB with the command:
pm disable-user --user 0 com.package.name
(Example: com.samsung.android.themestore)
Speeds up system performance and reduces RAM usage
8. Use Secure Folder for Dual App Instances & Privacy
Enable Settings > Security & privacy > Secure Folder
Run a second WhatsApp, banking app, or any app in a sandboxed space
9. Add a Custom Charging Animation via LockStar + KeysCafe (Good Lock)
Personalize how your phone looks while charging on lock screen
Also use KeysCafe for custom keyboard styles and effects
10. Improve App Launch Times with RAM Plus Optimization
Settings > Battery & device care > Memory > RAM Plus
Set it to 4GB or disable it entirely if your phone has 12GB+ RAM (helps with I/O speed)
