[LG Optimus Me P350] DarkRising:
Introduction.

In P350, we have little RAM, and everybody knows that. I'm constructing this thread to try maximize the performance on ICS.

The First Tip -> Gapps.

As we all know, in each version of Android, Gapps size is increased. In Froyo, Gapps like Google Maps and others really slowed the phone to the point of hacking it to improve performance. In Gingerbread, in most of ROM's, it wasn't a BIG problem. But in Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean, Gapps are landing direct hits on performance overall, because of 3 reasons:

It's size is now very BIG;

It has some unknown background apps that eats RAM;

Now the Gapps are consuming memory, CPU and GPU.

As a effect, some Devs and p350 users are searching a way to improve performance. But some problems occur in the way, like low memory RAM, discussions on thread and some others. So I'm giving the first TIP.

DO NOT USE FLASH GAPPS.

You are now asking yourself : "What the Hell are you saying Dark?"

I answer, it's very simple. Most of the Android Users (Yes, not only P350) do not use half of the installed apks. Saying by other words, Android users flash and don't use 50% or more of Gapps, so unknown apps are installed and are kept in phone. And most of the users only flash Gapps because they want them installed for nothing, without knowing what these apps are doing in background. To finish, a big part of New Android users only use Google Play. So, how we clear this?

DOWNLOAD THE DESIRED GAPPS FROM GOOGLE PLAY.

If you use some Gapps to work or any other reason, like Google Mail and Youtube, you might consider downloading then instead of flashing. But now you are asking yourself: "What is the difference?". I answer why downloading is better thant flashing them:

A great part of ROM's (if not all), do not need Gapps to work, so you can only download Google Play, setting your account on phone and start hunting the apps you use;

Because of this, you has an Greater control of deciding what app you need and want to install;

Unknown apps will not be installed on your phone;

No background apps active -> More RAM -> Better performance!

Now you have a better performance than before.

The Second Tip -> Uninstall what you don't use.

Yes, in every version of ICS the most worry of users is : "RAM is good on this ROM?", because little RAM, poor performance. In some versions, like ConnectMod betas, the RAM is very poor, according to dodo1255 . How to solve this problem?

UNINSTALL SYSTEM APPS.

Some ROM's come with unnecessary apps, and they consume your memory, both internal and RAM. To Advanced users:

Extract ROM, go to system/apps and delete manually the undesired apps.

To basic users, do this:

Download Root Uninstaller or Root Uninstaller Pro;

Open it and Search some apps that you don't use and uninstall them.

Attention: Before making anything make a Backup first! And, do not try this if you are New on Android world. If you want to do this, first search on net about this and what apps you can uninstall.

Some people just do this and get an improved performance, but if you want to go further.

The Third Tip -> Overclock and Swap.

Yep, it's a basic tip this one. But be aware of the limit of the overclocking in the respective kernel, and what's the most stable frequency on that ROM. And if you're planning Swap your ROM, do not use apps like Swapper, they do not help because they runs in background. Search and you'll find good tips on how to do it.

The Fourth Tip -> Download some optimizer apps.

Yes, i'm recomending because of other things that they can do. But do not install:

Apps that kills other apps, like task managers. They do not improve performance and really increase the number of Force Closes on your phone;

Apps that creates a big amount of cache;

You can install apps like:

Auto Memory Manager and RAM Manager Pro - Can help on improving performance;

AnTuTu CPU Master Pro - With some settings it helps on performance and battery;

Zdbox or other that cleans cache - Cleans your phone to a better level of performance.

The Fifth Tip -> Smoothing your phone in a easy manner.

This tip was suggested by gogyly.

This app, Seeder, was created by lambgx02 to reduce lags and to improve even better Any Rom. In the thread you can find more specifications.

I tested and works flawlessy, it's very good, a must-have app for us now.

The Sixty Tip ->A GREAT Replacement for Google Play.

This tip is for those that only use Google Play when flash gapps. It's a custom market called 1Mobile Market. It's UI is like Google Play, feature the hottest apps for free (I found GTA Vice City to download here), you can log in with your google account and has a really amount of apps. I'm current using and is very good.

Link for download -> 1Mobile Market

Doubt of every ICS user ->Why my phone is having low battery fast?.

It's because of tweaks. Yeah, TWEAKS MAKE THE BATTERY LAST A FEW HOURS. I concluded this when i moved myself of ICS from my Genesis. They are almost equal on performance (with over my one reaches close , going to 2203 and ICS with stock freq. 2230). And, ironically, the two wastes battery even when i'm not using it. Result -> 1 day battery. Froyo, the more slow ROM, do not wastes battery when i'm not using it, even with overclock. Result -> 3+ day battery.

And 1 thing: Devs, do not put 2 or tweak packages on your ROM's, because some scripts was already used on other packages, making the system run 2 or more times the same script, wasting battery.

You can help on this list by suggesting some improvements that I do not listed here. If I help, press thanks. :)
