[GUIDE] How To Make Your X10 Mini and Pro Faster | Last Update March 30, 2013 - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hi everyone!
I am going to give you some tips for making your X10 Mini and Pro fast as possible, without breaking your hardware.
I am running JellyBean, and the guide is optimized for JellyBean, but you can surely apply in other versions as well.
1. Do Not Overclock- With overclocking, it makes your CPU work harder than what it can handle. It may result in damages of your phone.
2. Wait For a Minute After Boot- Let the system settle down after booting up.
3. Slim Your ROMs By Yourself- I will post How to slim your own ROMs here soon, I will add link to it when available. (delete audio, ringtones, notifications, cmwallpapers.apk, livewallpapers.apk, picotts.apk, tts folder (if there is), fonts no needed)
4. Recommended Settings: CPU Governor: SmartAssH3, I/O Scheduler: SIO, zRam: 26%, Allow purging of assets, Kernel sametime merging, 16bit Transparency, Disabled Boot Animation.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5. Use Light Launchers- The Home is where you visit mostly, the start of every activity. So, use light and fast launchers. (Go Launcher Not Recommended)
6. Delete Apps When You Do Not Use It- Delete apps you do not use, save space and be faster.
7. Delete Cache of Apps Using Cache Cleaner- Cache take up large partition of your memory. Delete it with cache cleaner.
8. Delete Call Records and Browser History If Not Necessary- Deleting call records and browser history can free up lot of space.
9. Do Not Use Task Killers- There are lots of controversy about them, because they force apps to be closed when they are not to be closed. Instead, long press Home Button and swipe apps you do not want to use in your background.
10. Keep Your Home Screens Light As Possible- Adding many widgets, shortcuts etc on home screen makes your phone much slower.
11. Lock Your Launcher In Memory- It makes your launcher take part of your memory, prevents it from restarting launchers.​
MORE TIPS SOON! ​

Most important step is this: delete audio, ringtones, notifications, cmwallpapers.apk, livewallpapers.apk, picotts.apk, tts folder (if there is), fonts no needed (usally they occupy 2~5mb) before you flash rom. These things occupy about 15~20mb in every rom. Add this steps if u want

SmartssH3 is the balance on perfomance and battery, for better perfomance, can try SmartssV2.
About overclock, i used X10 mini pro for 1.5 years overclocked to 691Mhz, and never got a problem with CPU.
Zram vs Swap, i you want a lot of multitasking, use SWAP on a SDCARD class 10, 100% recommended. but i you only use music, call, browser, ZRAM is enough

in my phone, when I'm used purging asset and KSM, my phone turned to slow, after that, I'm not changed everything,

before flash zip open it and go to system/fonts and here delete the biggest ones
go to media/audio and delete all ringtones, sound and notifications that you don't need
delete all unnecessary apps like cmwallpapers, live wallpapers, radio if you don't use it widgets
And if you want you can replace apps with someone smaller (size and ram value)
After did this you can flash your zip!

Well it may not be a list of CM7 specific but it is a good guideline to what is the good, the bad and the wasteful. I'm working on something to try and remove around 90% of the OS and make it the most basic system for a standalone GPS....
I cant post an outside link yet but if you google "oldwiki barebones cyanogenmod" it should give you a good idea of what your looking for...

Thanks Great info!
