- Enabling Animations by going to Settings, Display, Animations. This will make the phone feel faster, as it transitions nicely in and out of applications.
- Turning off predictive text by going to Settings, Language & Keyboard, Touch Input, Text Input.
- Your wallpaper. It should not be a live wallpaper, as they use up a lot of RAM and CPU Usage. I also recommend a dark wallpaper, as this will increase battery life. How about a bookshelf wallpaper? They're not that bright, static and they look cool.
- Kill background applications. You can do this by going to Settings, Applications, Running Services, and selecting force stop on applications you don't need open anymore. Please do not force stop and application if you do not know what it is.

Scroll down until you get to the "Privacy configuration" part of the settings. Clear all of these options:Cookie Data, Cache, History, Form Data, Location Access.
- Install 1 Click Cleaner. It is a great little app I found that will clear out the caches of all your applicatons. It will not delete your text messages, or your game saves. It just removes the temporary files of all apps.
- Install App2SD Free. This app will allow you to move applications installed on the internal memory to your SD Card. If you do install and use it, you will see that a lot of applications cannot be installed to the SD Card. To solve that, see this article.
