How to make this ROM Better/Faster

Remove setup guide once the ROM is installed (it uses 2.1MB of RAM and a super small amount of CPU power)

Disable ALL animations (Animations take about 0.2 seconds to complete, remove them to load menus instantly)

Change contacts apk for older version. Takes up 25mb RAM. Only added to keep you happy
