Few Scripts and Tweaks to Improve the Performance - Xperia Arc Themes and Apps

Build.prop, Init.d Tweaks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269
The ones that worked for me (I guess)
VM Heapsize; higher the RAM, higher the hp can be
Force launcher into memory
Increase overall touch responsiveness
Disable boot animation for faster boot
internet speed tweaks
microSD card speed tweak
How to Update Build.prop using ADB:
Setup ADB
For Windows: [Guide] Setting up ADB [Windows]
[HOW-TO]Set up Android SDK/ADB/Fastboot on Ubuntu Linux
Backup Build.prop
Code:
adb remount
adb pull /system/build.prop c:\temp\build.prop.backup
adb push c:\temp\build.prop.backup /system
Updating Build.prop
Code:
adb remount
adb shell sed -i '$a\[B]debug.sf.hw=1[/B]' /system/build.prop
\\ Where debug.sf.hw=1 is the value replace the value with the script you want to update with Build.prop

[Script]Loopy Smoothness Tweak:
The recovery method didn't work for me so I copied the file and placed it in Init.d folder under system/etc/Init.d (Only works with DoomLord's Kernel) I had to add the widgets back after applying the script.

I find my device very responsive and very fast.
I'm not responsible if something screws up.

Did anyone tried the option "Raise JPG quality to 100%" ? Does that function? Or the other option to raise overall quality of videos and pictures?
Would be awesome since I really got an issue with this strong compression rate of the Arc's jpg-pics.

I didn't Modify the script. I just extracted from the Zip file and copied to Init.d folder. I removed it now. I found some issues like widget disappears sometimes after reboot. So I don't recommend that much. But with other script you'll feel a great deal of performance difference.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
###### Loopy Smoothness Tweak for Galaxy S (Experimental) #######
sleep 3
renice 18 `pidof kswapd0` # please give credit and thanks to loopy for this line if it works
##### Set nice levels for smoothness loop BEGIN #####
### Let's loop this in the background for a bit
for i in {1..20}
do
sleep 5
### Phone dialer app ###
renice -20 `pidof com.android.phone`
### Launcher apps ###
renice -19 `pidof com.sec.android.app.twlauncher` # TouchWiz Launcher

renice -19 `pidof org.zeam.core` # Zeam launcher
### System apps ###
renice -19 `pidof com.android.mms` # Text message app
renice -19 `pidof com.swype.android.inputmethod` # Swype keyboard
renice -15 `pidof com.sec.android.app.controlpanel` # Task manager

renice -3 `pidof android.process.media`
### Memory management kernel thread ###
renice 19 `pidof kswapd0` # please give credit and thanks to loopy for this line if it works
done
##### Set nice levels for smoothness loop END #####
This is his script. It only benefit the mentioned Launchers and Applications. I'll try to add Arc launcher and test it.

Jpg Compression tweak don't work for me. Neither buid.prop, neither media_profiles.xml.
As far as i've read, even if we get less jpg compression, if SE doesn't do anythign with the jpg compression algorythm, we're not gonna see any improvements. Only heavier jpg but with the same quality.

Yes in Root Explorer Press and hold Build.prop from the Menu select Open with Text Editor then type in the script. The save it and reboot the device .. Also you could use the ADB method which is more easy.

Can anyone confirm benefits for the media section (Video bitrate, sound quality?)
and the optimization for the 3G and Internet tweaks?

I added the 3G tweaks to my build.prop, and now when I'm in the house I have a full signal using GSM/WCDMA where as before I use to just use GSM in the house as I had no signal, although still only getting "g" speeds using the net.
So a small improvement to my reception just not speed.
