First off I just wanted to say that this isn't a thread that points you to a certain app that makes your phone instantly better. I have always searched the forums for user recommendations for apps to make your phone better but I never really tested it to see if it made a difference.
I noticed a huge improvement over any apps that I have downloaded and that includes esteem optimizer. I did this to keep all the apps that I want but dont use all the time to stop them from running in the background.
This method worked for me and I'm not promising anything. You will need these two apps to get everything working all free)
-setcpu
-titanium backup
Open up titanium backup
-go to the backup/restore tab
-hit the "menu"(bottom left soft button on phone)
-go to the filters section
-at the bottom of filters hit create label
-make a name for it and then go to add/remove elements
-select all the apps like games, camera apps, and all other junk you can live with out(for me I selected everything except for wifi tether
internet browser, my launcher app, and of course, DONT SELECT YOUR SYSTEM APPS)
-once your done hit "OK" then hit "save"
make another label and name it different
-select all the apps that you just chose and save it just like you did above
This is to make a widget so you can just hit one button and it will freeze them all at once
1. hit and hold down on any screen you want the button on
2. go to widget and then titanium backup(actions)
3. go to freeze all and system apps
4. then go to filter by label then hit the filter that you just made
5. then hit create the widget
Now we make a button widget to unfreeze all of them when ever you want to use those apps
- do everything up to step 2
- go to action and then hit defrost all user and system apps
- go to filter like you did above except use the second filter
- then hit create
This is what it should look like when you done:
This is a unfreeze button I made just for my games because I know some of them run in the background but I do play them quite a bit:
There ya go, now you have two widgets to make sure you dont have any apps running that you dont want running. Just a side note if you have any apps that you run pretty often that you want to use quickly, you can make a unfrost widget just for that app like this:
Now we use the other app called setcpu(just so you know this will most likely eat up your battery faster because it will be set on the highest speed)
-go to scaling and hit performance
-go to the two sliders and move both of them all the way to the right(it should be 1024)
-exit and now your done
Have fun and I hope this works for someone as much as it did for me. I know there are easier ways to get this done but this method worked for me.

I just simply made this thread to make your phone perform quickly when you wanted it too. So, there aren't any apps out there that will lower your cpu frequency?
