Supercharge your Android!

This is the Donate/Paid version. Every purchase of this app goes directly to paying for my college education. This version also contains zero ads.

• Like Project Butter for every Android version!
• Install this app and you can double the speed of any Android phone.

Speed Boost aims to improve your Android experience by preventing much of the lag associated with Android by freeing up your critical CPU resources which reduces the drain on your systems speed and improves performance. Get a real speed boost!

• Has important system toggles such as GPS (on 2.3<), bluetooth, airplane mode, brightness, and mobile data for quick, easy access. This helps save battery.
• Beautiful readout of available RAM via a pie chart.
• List of running tasks with a beautiful animation. You don't believe me? Populate the list until it goes off the screen and scroll. Every list item flows in like butter.
• You may not know it but everyday your android device stores cache files on your phone which may slow it down after extended use. Just run this every so often to improve the speed of your phone.
• Has a simple one-touch widget to run a system clean from the home screen.

What Does Speed Boost Do?

• Traditional task killers only kill the running apps, which cause them to leave behind garbage data in RAM memory which then has to be cleared by the system, causing stutters and lag.
• Speed Boost kills the running apps and then clears the garbage data left behind by the killed apps, which is what you see in the Toast message after the operation is performed.
• Why so simple? It shows you just what you need to see and not anything else that will slow your phone down by displaying complicated data. Minimalist!
• Google Play exclusive! Not available on iPhone app store.
• Supports multi-threading for faster cache clearing, especially on the Atrix 4G, Galaxy S II, Droid 3, Droid X2, Optimus 2X, HTC Sensation, Galaxy Nexus, Atrix 2, Evo 3D, and other multi-core devices.
• Now with AutoClean!

Notes For AutoClean Feature

• By default, AutoClean is disabled, but can be changed through settings.
• File system optimizations can be opted to be ran with the AutoClean, but must be enabled through settings, accessible through Menu >AutoClean Frequency > File System Optimization.

Notes On CPU Controls

• Your phone needs to have root access to change CPU settings. This is a feature included in many custom roms. If you do not know what I am talking about, check out http://www.xda-developers.com/

GBA.emu v1.5.5 Apk Android

Emulate the classic Gameboy Advance (GBA) hand-held on your Android device
Gameboy Advance emulator based on VBA-M r1097 (GPL), designed and tested on the Xoom, Galaxy S2, and Xperia Play, but works on many devices with similar specs. I have made a number of custom optimizations to increase speed while maintaining VBA-M's excellent compatibility and audio quality. You should have at least a 1GHz CPU for best results.


Features include:
* High-level BIOS emulation, no BIOS file needed
* Backup memory and save state support, auto-save and ten manual slots for save states. State files are interchangeable with the PC version of VBA-M.
* Supports games in .gba format, optionally in .zip files
* Configurable on-screen multi-touch controls & keyboard support (up to 4 touches supported at once), and an Xperia Play optimized button layout
* Wiimote + Classic Controller, iControlPad, and Zeemote JS1 support (no need to purchase a separate app, see website for full instructions)
* Portrait/Landscape auto-orientation support

No ROMs are included with this app and must be supplied by the user. A number of public domain games/demos are available at www.pdroms.de. Transfer games anywhere to your SD card and browse to them from within the app (default SD card directory is /mnt/sdcard).
