Greeting all, I’ve only ever been an android user, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone talk about this. My Galaxy S21 is starting to have performance issues and I’m curious if a clean install would breath new life into it?

Does this help with android devices like a fresh install on a PC, or do android devices just get bogged down with updates? Would it be worth the trouble to back things up and do a factory reset?

Thanks!

    I’ve considered doing this but I’m hesitant to do this for the first time on my primary device. I figure when I upgrade I may keep this phone to experiment on.

      You may have a look at places like xda-developers forum to find out about the support your phone has. Some devices are hard to run custom ROMs on. If the support is good there’s nothing in the way to use it reliably on a daily basis
