Help Smartphone running slow

[Member2034759]

Hi, I have an Android 4.2.2 JB Smartphone(Yezz Andy 4E), which can't be updated to a newer Android version. I have 1.9GB used space and 420MB free space, I've ordered an SD card for that. My phone is running slow, it is 3 years old, since the time I bought it new, so I'm guessing it's not too old. I've reflashed the ROM through SP Flash Tool. I used a ROM which I downloaded from 4shared, it was exactly for my phone. I tried an app called Booster from Google Play, but the phone is still running slow. Any ideas on how I might fix this?

Any app with the name booster in it is snake oil, stay away from.
Have you cleared the cache or factory reset?

I've cleared the cache recently and I had done a factory reset after reinstalling the ROM, which was about 3 months ago.

Personally, I do a factory reset every month

Try freeing up some of that used space. There must be some apps you don't use anymore. When you get the MicroSD card move your photos, videos, music and books there. That should help.

Spec's on that phone are 512k RAM and 4GB memory total. With the system and recovery you get a little more that 2 GB usable.

While it's only three years old, three years is ancient in terms of tech. And, it was a low end phone to begin with. I'm afraid anything we can suggest is purely a stop-gap. There aren't any tricks or tweaks or hacks that can make this thing much faster.
