What Phone Optimizer Apps (Paid) Work Best With The Android Oreo OS?

What phone cleaners, optimizers do you find work best with Galaxy Note 8?

I'm on the Android 8.0 OS and I have found many (or all) of the optimizers I had before either didn't work or they just drained my battery completely.

What works best?

None of them.

Well, I hear a lot of good things about Greenify, but I haven't used that one specifically. It seems to work different than most optimization apps and not really hurt anything.

The problem is that most of these apps all work counter to how Android was designed, or contain a lot of functions your phone already has built in. At best they do nothing noticeable. At worst they drain the battery, as you've seen.

Anything that claims to boost/clean out RAM, just forget it. Android runs best with RAM mostly full. Apps in memory in the background are dormant and don't use any extra battery power. This lets you multitask quicker without using additional battery power to initialize apps over and over. When one of these apps kills background process, Android is only going to initialize them again in the background.

Cache cleaners may temporarily free up space, but it will be rebuilt over time as you use your apps. If you have a rogue app that you need to deal with, this shotgun approach isn't ideal. The best way would be to clear app cache on an app by app basis as a diagnostic step so you can find the problematic app and deal with it directly.

Android manages itself just fine. If these apps seem to help you, they are only a bandaid for a symptom and not addressing the root cause. At this point you need to reevaluate your usage and try to find out what's making it at up.

Other management apps that control settings, such as turning your Wi-Fi on automatically when you get home are more or less neutral. Everything they do, you can do manually. They offer convenience, but I don't use them myself simply because it's an extra app I wouldn't need. I don't mind taking 2 seconds to turn on my Wi-Fi and such.

Why do you feel the need for them? Very often those cause more issues than they fix. Most modern OS's PREFER memory as full as it can be - this helps with performance and battery life as memory uses less power than the storage. If you're constantly clearing memory, the next time you want to use those apps the phone has fully reload them from storage, making the load times slower and consuming more battery.

The only use for Greenify post Nougat is that you can make it trigger Doze in 5-10min instead of 30min-1hr by default. That's it.

None of them. Waste of money. The best way to keep your phone optimized is to not download apps from unknown sources. I stick to the play store and never have an issue. I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong, but that's my experience over the last 8 years or so with Android.

Not just waste of money, but many of those apps are ad servers
