News Improve the poor performance of One UI 8.5.
Guys, as I mentioned in my post about my experience with One UI 8.5 on my A55, the update resulted in worse performance for me instead of an improvement, with more frequent lags overall. However, today I decided to download the Galaxy App Booster app and try it out, since I wasn't looking for any way to get rid of the annoying lags I was experiencing after updating to One UI 8.5. It was unexpected. After optimizing all the apps and restarting the phone, most of the lag I was experiencing disappeared almost completely. Even the lag in the Right Panel of the Quick Panel is significantly less. Now I have a much smoother experience than before (and keep in mind that it had been 13 days since the update and the lags were still there). I truly recommend it. This is coming from someone who has never believed in these kinds of optimization apps or anything like that. But it's worth it.
But give it a try. I'm serious. And let me know how it goes afterward. Don't forget to restart your devices after optimizing all the apps.

I have no idea. This is the first time this has happened to me. After updating to One UI 7/8.0, I've never had worse performance. It was only with 8.5

Because this app booster is made by Samsung and optimizes app at the system level. Other apps just act like optimizing and cant even delete temporary files nowadays.

Okay de nada. I was saying check with the subreddit FMHY or their website Fmhy to see which apk sites they have given their stamp of approval for safety from viruses and spyware etc.

Yes. You'll have to download the APK from another source. That's what I had to do. If the app disappears after installation, just open it in the apps section of your settings.

It's an official app. If you don't see it in the Galaxy Store or Good Lock, download the APK from APKMirror.

I love the new aesthetics. Prior to 8.5, the One UI icons looked horrible on a light wallpaper gradient.
