        Minu, 22 Mar 2026It's an optimization issue, rather than bottlenecking.it's bottlenecking because you cannot fix it, optimisation implies improvement later down the line

                    Have you tried replacing the app with a fake dummy app? If that doesn't work the only solution is flashing custom ROM.

                                it's interesting how no one cares about the malware security app that all chinese roms have and even uninstalling it with adb can result in a soft brick
