Seems like a useful app, but if you want to go a step further and speed up your phone without killing tasks all the time you want to tweak the memory usage of your android phone from within – before actual tasks are performed. This can increase the overall speed and snappyness of your phone incredibly!

Now I know this is a bit too geeky for the normal android user, but it is actually really simple to realise – it only takes a few minutes with a supercharger script.

You can find instructions on how to install it here: http://technopsisblog.com/supercharge-your-android-supercharger-scripts-speed-up-your-phone

It works on (almost) every android device – may be worth checking out!

Keep in mind, that allegation came from the use of third party app stores. I haven’t found a article that states they found this issue with the official Android Market. Many developers have their apps taken from the market and placed on third party app stores with malicious code.

You must admit; however, some of the reviews here should come with a caveat. This one, for example, is developed by a Chinese company, IN China. That, in itself, would likely deter many folks from installing it.

China + Software + full internet + phone state/id privs = No Thanks.

Their apps phone home with personal data…. I wish I could find the website that had that list.

Everyone has their opinion. Remember, we don’t have biased opinions about our reviews. Just purely an honest opinion. If you don’t like it, don’t download it. Personally, I prefer not to use apps like this. If you use your device properly and developers create their apps efficiently, apps like this would be unnecessary. Unfortunately, this isnt always the case. Thankfully, you can rely on AndroidTapp to point you in the right direction

I’ll never have this Chinese spyware junk on my phone! Ashamed that AndroidTapp continues to push NetQuin’s crap.

I agree with what Jason said. It is not the best but also not the worse. It does need some like I mentioned the “optimize” feature does need some work, but overall I do enjoy using it. It does have some valuable information that is easily accessible.

It’s not the “best” utility for your phone by far from the worst. It does actually work although I think it’s missing key features that would make it stellar.

I have an Evo as well and didn’t experience those types of results. When I used it, it did offload some of the RAM being used by inactive apps, however, it was a minimal difference that I noticed performance-wise on my end.

Android booster doesn’t really do anything for your phone but take up space. BAD BAD APP!

I installed the application and almost immediately uninstalled it. My memory usage spiked and stayed so high on my Evo that I had to get rid of it. It was eating my battery life.

Based on the products they offer, it appears this is what "Android Booster" is on their site: http://www.netqin.com/en/guard/

If you go to the website NetQin who is supposed to be the makers of this software, you’ll find that the software reviewed here is nowhere to be found on their site.

not like they’re really pushing it.
