If your device is rooted and feels slow..

Try this trim app. I was skeptical and my N7 was smooth as it was, but it made a perceivable difference nonetheless. Takes about 5 seconds.

My N7 took only like 5 seconds but the Galaxy Nexus took like 5 minutes. Interesting app. Thanks.

It works but a lot of custom kernels already implement it automatically so if you're using a custom ROM, consider using a kernel with it built-in.

This absolutely worked for me. I've been bitching about my Galaxy Nexus for months now, but after this there is a noticeable lack of the "hard lag" I used to get.

A complete and total factory reset and new (stock) ROM a month ago couldn't even fix it for me.

Bumping the thread once for the weekend. It worked for me and several others here, so maybe more people can benefit.

Those using the Galaxy Nexus, what Kernel are you using?
I'm on Imo's Leankernel v6.5, on Liquid 2.3.
I ran the tool and it literally took 1 second to complete, so it makes me wonder if Imo's kernels have it enabled by default. I looked in his change logs but didn't see anything.
I noticed on the app's screen shots on the Google Play that he benchmarked using the app AndroBench
After running the bench my sequential write was: 4.49 MB/s
Sequential Read: 24.05 MB/s
which is much less that his screen shot. What are your scores?

I was running CM 10.1 with the stock kernel. I found it to be buggy on my device, so I did a complete wipe and reset to a deodexed version of stock 4.2 Android. It still run badly; very laggy. I had also completely maxed out my storage, which I suspect is what caused the "junk" data to be written to my flash memory.

Running this tool definitely sped things up for me. There is no way this is just a placebo (like so many other Android "fixes"). It is definitely faster - like where it was when I bought the phone.

This tool also ran in just a few seconds for me.

I ran it and it finished in 5 seconds.

I'm 99% sure the stock kernel for CM has trim support.

I feel like this helped my Nexus 10. What's annoying is why should we have to do this? I'd like for Android to handle this automatically in the future, esp when charging or something...

Nifty app that I used for almost a year.

I don't know if it helped or not. I can't really tell. But I'm curious why the process takes like 5 minutes on my stock Galaxy Nexus.

I think that the more full your SD card is, the longer it takes. Think of it like defragging - it's kindof the same idea.

Yup.
Most custom ROM's/kernel already come with this feature enabled so there's no need to use such an app.

If you're running "stock" however, then this may be needed.

My S4 must be trimmed by default.

That does seem extreme but it's going through and marking all of the unused filesystem blocks as free within the controller's tables so it might just take that long for your controller to update whatever it uses.

Google Play said it's not compatible to my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (I727) but my old LG Thrill 4G (P925) is!
