[SHARE] Make Stock Based ROMs Run Faster - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello everyone.
I am using Sony Xperia U. I love the Sony UI much more than CyanogenMod because it is more stable and beautiful but it lags after I have installed a few apps that are resource hungry. This is one reason why I switched back to Gingerbread on my phone (view more reasons). But then I realized there are many apps on the Play Store that require Android 3.0+. I was left behind in the race. So again, I installed a stock based ICS custom ROM. As usual, it started lagging again.
Why does the phone lag? Because there are a lot of apps running in the background and eat up a lot of space. You can not run more than 2-3 apps in the background using Xperia U. So I came across this beautiful app called Greenify which is pretty awesome and does its job just as it says.
After I installed this app, I could see tremendous improvement in performance of the ROM. Greenify hibernates the apps that run in the background when you are not using them. A few examples of the apps I Greenified:
Make sure all these apps are user apps. If they are system apps, either convert them to user apps or uninstall using Titanium Backup and install from Play Store.
Facebook (I don't want any notifications).
Whatsapp
Dolphin Browser
Super Backup
Facebook Messenger
Viber
Tango
Google Maps
Google+
There might be a few more I don't remember. You can ungreenify Whatsapp or Viber when you are using them.

Greenify does not consume much battery and takes only 2 MB of your RAM.

Stock roms are also bloated. There are debloating scripts out there on the development section.
Debloat + Greenify = Fast ROM.

No. If you want to use it, you can just start the app and it will un-hibernate itself. You can open Greenify and ungreenify apps if you don't want them to be greenified and if you want them to run in background as they normally do.
It is similar to hibernating your PC when you are not using it. It saves battery to a great extent by hibernating the apps.
