Here are some ways ive improved my Wildfire's speed
Be sure to add thanks if it helps or comment if there are any problems
Change display resolution (720*480)
To do this you have to use Launcherpro, if you dont have it install it, you can choose to uninstall it after if you want
*Update* - 13/11/2011
If you have ADW Launcher you can also do this without using Launcherpro
ADW Launcher: [Menu]>Add>Custom shortcut>Pick your activity>Settings>Display Resolution
Skip to number 3)
1) Hold on the home screen and a pop-up "Add to Home screen should appear"
Follow these step
2) Shortcuts>Activities>Settings>Display Resolution
3) After doing that you be redirected back to your home screen, with a pop-up confirming you choice press "Ok"
4) The settings icon should be on your screen, tap it then pick "480p (720*480)
You should notice a speed boost when play a game like 'fruit ninja'
Basically what this has done is decrease the amount of pixels that your phone renders in the display, this reduces the need for your phone to produce higher quality images. BUT the quality of the display will not suffer, its all a free speed boost.
(Activities can also be used in other areas such as quick shortcuts to sound, security, it basically creates shortcuts for most system processes. But be warned do not tamper with the unknown, unless you know exactly what your doin,)I once made my phone lose its service centre number, so i couldnt send text messages
Account sync
1) Menu>Settings>Accounts & sync> (Untick background data)
This turns of automatic data usage, so applications such as market will not continuously receive data without your knowledge, it also increases batttery life, only turn it on when your need it but turn it of when you dont
Remove un-used widgets
This is really straight-forward, saves your phone the trouble of loading numerous widgets
All animations
Menu>Settings>Display>Animation>(Tick All animations)
This makes the phone look slightly faster, it gives your phone the smooth transition effect, so it looks better
Turn of plug-ins
(Depending on what browser you use they are all included in this)
I'm using the stock browser to show this
Open browser>Menu>More>Settings>Enable plugins>Off
This is more on improving your browsers speed, it stops ads that use flash playing without your permission, those ads can cause the browser to become unstable and lag. Besides who actually clicks on ads these days?
