Delete and disable unnecessary apps
You can do this by using the app manager in your settings, or by long-pressing apps in your drawer and dragging them to the “Uninstall” section.
Clear the cache data
The issue is that cache can build up and become pretty heavy on your smartphone’s internal storage. Try to clear it from time to time, as it can also get old. The option is available for individual apps through the app manager, or you can look for a cache cleaning application in the Google Play Store.
Clean your device storage
Got too much music, videos and other files around? Filling up your internal storage can affect performance, so try to keep your phone memory as tidy as possible. Go through all your files and decide what you will actually use and what is just taking up space for no good reason.
Get rid of widgets!
Try to limit your widget usage as much as possible. Of course, don’t sacrifice your whole experience either; after all, widgets are among of the coolest things the Android OS offers. Just keep it limited to what you will actually take advantage of.
Dump the live wallpaper
Live wallpapers sure are fun, but they affect performance and battery life. Unless you are willing to sacrifice a bit for those fancy animations, just go grab a regular image.
Keep your phone’s software up to date
Make sure your phone’s software is always on the latest version available.
Rooting?
If you really want to go nuts and unlock the door to a whole other series of possibilities, you can root your phone. Once you get total access to your device you can install cleaner ROMs that will keep your phone running smoother. It’s even possible to overclock the processor and make it work extra hard for you, hence making the phone faster.
Perform a factory data reset!
The option is in your phone’s settings under “Backup and reset”. There’s also ways to do a factory reset using the recovery menu, but the steps are different for every phone. Google is your friend!

FIRST: A WARNING
These apps require the phone to be rooted to be able to reach their full potential. And as they give you complete control over what to do, it's easy to get your ChaCha f****d up. So a backup with CWM Recovery is highly recommended.
We all know that the internal memory of the Chacha is low, and we are always struggling to have it controlled. Custom roms can make that memory to be really low when just installed, but continued use and trying apps make the memory to be filled with many files that are still there, even when you delete the app and the data associated to that app.
Many people likes to once a month or two, delete data and cache and start again, but for many of us, that's not an option because of the level of customization we have and must be repeated every time that operation it's done.
Enter these three apps, that well used can make you lower the used memory. They allows you to do a mix of regular manteinance and 'once in a while' operations.
AppCache Cleaner Makes easy to clear every day the cache files used by many apps like Market, Maps, Shazam!, and many others. Those cache files are secure and safe to be deleted. The app is easy to be set up and more easy to use. Also, an automatic clean every N time can be set.
SD Maid - System cleaning tool Makes the work of the previous app but with added functionalities, aimed to a less regular manteinance and deep clean. It can find corpses: data files of uninstalled apps that are there wasting space and many other things like log files, duplicated files... that are there making your ChaCha life harder. Some attention is required here because some operations, it not rightly done, can make you have a bad time because of deleting files you wanted not to delete, or that are essential files for your apps or system to run.
SystemCleanup This app is the most powerful of all and also the most dangerous. It has many of the features of the paid version of Titanium Backup, but for free. You can move apps from /system to /data, from /data to /system, odex and deodex them, move from/to sdcard, edit the autorun events they receive, freeze them, make backups... You can get rid of many of the bloatware the ChaCha comes with, and also decide what to do with those apps. The app itself give you directions on some apps that are safe to remove of required not to remove, but you are free to do what you want to with it, so attention must be put on what to do when using it.
I my self was able to remove about 60MB of useless stuff and the free memory jumped to a whopping 92MB of free memory after using them.
Take a look and have luck.
Titanium Backup ★ root - it allows You to "integrate app update to ROM" and save space in user storage.
Also it allows you to remove unused app from ROM and move "integrate" some aplications to ROM.
Most important would be app for recording Calls (both side), do Enyone know that software?

I was using Clean Master also
But with updating the app it become Hungry For Ram and Battery
So Does Battery Doctor now full of ads
The best CM app for now is CM browser
I switched from clean master to kk cleaner, has all the base features of cm but no ads or annoying pop ups, I would still be using cm if there wasn't all these self promoting ads or random articles. Sadly they think it was a great change as they have declared it a kind of "bonus feature" that they seem very proud of which is actually an annoyance and an issue leading to more RAM consumption, and more battery wasted as a result, and they have even been adding these things to their other previously great apps (ie. Battery doctor) so as an effect I have stored using all cheetah mobile apps and have found alternatives like kk cleaner
Clean Master works intelligently for removing virus, malware or any threat and there is no other lighter in weight application for Android Smartphones or Tablets that can take optimization of your Android devices to next level.
There are three things that will surely impress you or any other person.
1-Most of the people complain about Clean Master, that it eats lots of Battery Resources and which they are wrong about because it never occupies more than needed space, but people stuff their storage space with other useless space and blame CM for Battery and RAM consumption. I will vote it as light-in-weight app ever.
2- Sometimes, residual files that are most often pollute your devices without coming into your notice, but CM deletes them as easily as A-B-C, so never feel uneasy ' Clean Master is perfect Security guard for you'
3- Either it is PC or your Android Smartphone and Tablets, it is equally fruitful on all operating systems.:highfive:

Download Clean Master (Boost & AppLock) APK For Android
Hello!
I've been using XT1032 for a while as someone that's mostly new to smartphones - it's an upgrade after heavily worn out LG GT540. However after rooting it, installing official CM and updating to the latest nightlies every second day or so, I still have several problems. I'm sorry if there's too little detail in this post, I'll try to add detail later on.
First off, I don't understand how the storage space works. The phone is supposed to have 8GBs of internal memory, however only 5.5GBs are accessible to the user. Additionally, applications refuse to install when the system reports that there's ~400MBs of "space" left. Is this because of a partition being filled up? The Apps panel of system settings isn't specific what is taking up too much space and I'm afraid the DiskUsage app doesn't help either.
Second thing is the actual available RAM. It's supposed to be 1 GB, but Z-DeviceTest reports only 885MBs being available. Where's the rest? There's also swap of 255MBs that I don't know where it came from. I thought that on a low-end smartphone they wouldn't waste internal storage on swap.
There's a trick to increasing available storage space by linking the /cache folder to root. How does that work? How do I know if the folder is being used or not, and if it's safe to do this? DiskUsage doesn't show this folder normally, and when switching to it in root it's being 651MBs large, with "System data" taking up 11.2MBs and pds-CM10.img 3MBs. There's also recovery and backup folders, 56KBs and 16KBs respectively. Why is it this big anyhow, if it's not being used?
The most immediate problem, and the one that annoys me the most since I bought the phone for a certain purpose, is that Google Play Music is lagging terribly. It uses ~110MBs when I switch to the Running Apps screen from the settings quickly enough to check its stats, each song takes several seconds to load even on WiFi, no matter the quality, and the worst part is that even if it "loads up" it takes several additional seconds to scroll around it! It's not just the playing affected, the whole interface is sluggish. Screens take seconds to switch between each other, returning to the app after opening two applications makes it either "restart", where it still plays music, but you can see that the interface is now several screens back. How is it possible that in 2015 an operating system developer can't make a performant app that's not a game, that's not a video editor, but a god damn music player? The only quirk is that it's streaming the music from the net instead of playing a downloaded file. It has a cache that uses over 700MBs already, no excuses. I checked that with DiskUsage.
When you've had a smartphone for a while it can start to feel slow, and RAM — random access memory, which is where your phone stores its stuff as it's using it — can be part of the problem. If your phone doesn't have enough RAM it can struggle, but there are ways to address that. You can even create extra RAM without cracking the case or reaching for a soldering iron.
Find out how to increase your smartphone's RAM right here!

Android Lollipop tips and tricks
What is RAM (Random Access Memory)?
RAM is what your device uses when it's doing something. For example, when you're editing a photo both the photo and the app you're using to edit it are in the device's RAM; when you finish editing the photo is then saved to your device's storage so it can't get lost. The more RAM you have the more you can do, so for example you can have more browser tabs open, more apps running or more system features doing their stuff.
The problem with RAM is that it isn't always emptied properly, and apps don't always behave. Some apps and system processes run when you don't need them to, and others don't clean up after themselves when they quit. After a while those issues can produce noticeable results such as slow performance, lagging and stuttering, and the odd crash.
Like internal storage, RAM is a physical component of your device so you can't just stick more in. What you can do, though, is use it more efficiently — or use some clever tricks to create RAM from other kinds of storage.
RAM — shown here in desktop form — is physically limited in every device. Unlike PCs, you can't just stick more memory into your phone or tablet. / © Taringa
How to increase your RAM without root access
Now that you know what RAM is, we'll show you how to preserve it. In this first part, we focus on tips for non-rooted devices. For those devices you can't magically add more memory, but you can make better use of what you've got. As a rule of thumb, the more your phone is doing the more RAM is being used, so if you can reduce what's running you can free up more memory for the tasks that really matter.
Limit widgets and live wallpapers
Widgets and live wallpapers are both pretty greedy when it comes to RAM usage. Many refresh often and occupy bandwidth, while some are continuously active. This can also cause your battery to drain faster. So remember to limit the number of them in effect to optimize your current available memory.
Animated wallpapers can take up a lot of RAM.
How to root your phone without voiding the warranty.
Disable applications
Some applications take up RAM even if they aren't currently being used, so you're getting all the downsides of unnecessary RAM use without anything to show for it. Organizing which apps should and should not be running in the background can take time, but it's worth it to improve your smartphone performance.
To disable an application, go to Settings and then Apps or Application Manager. Next, go to the All tab to get the list of all the applications currently on your device. To disable an application, tap on it, then tap Disable and confirm. Be careful not to disable everything and anything, unless you want to end up with an unstable system, but most apps that don't come pre-installed on your handset are pretty safe to disable (or delete entirely if you never use them).
Head to your device settings menu, then the apps page.
Next, tap on the app you wish to disable and tap Disable.
Disable animations
Animations often steal RAM and are quite inessential; you can manage these in the developer options. To enable Developer Options on your device, go to your Settings, then About Phone and then tap on the build number about seven times until it notifies you that you have become a developer. (Please note that this has no negative effect on your device, it just adds the developer options menu in your settings. You just need

Yeah it is not even copied completely. The text is missing the last part
Why don't you post something from your own experience or your own thought, please don't copy from other sites.
I think it's called ram optimization and not increasing the ram. BTW.

Hello there, how are you ppl ? Just reading xda forums found a lot of stuff that I was wrong about but people love to sell it to you so, I want to ask, any of all cleaning apps is real ? I mean, do a real better performance ? I am not talking about battery save or something like that, I mean some apps says "Clears unwanted cache on just one tap" "RAM cleaning" and so on.
RAM cleaning is exactly the same as opening your recents and swiping or clearing them all.
Cache is actually supposed to improve performance (app start times). When you start an app, it is loaded into the cache. After you exit, the system still keeps it cached and if you ever want to relaunch it, it will open faster.
Clearing the cache will make it start the whole caching process again and it will also take slightly longer to start.
In my opinion, those cleaner apps are unnecessary. The performance gains are negligible.
No, they are not. Specially on the latest Android OS builds.
