Apart from these, there are many more apps that are useful in daily usage. When come to games, they cover most of the RAM memory, so am not giving them here.

Useful Tips:
-> Set screen lock for your mobile to have privacy.
-> Disable 'enable background data' option when you dont use Play Store.
-> Run Android Booster every day.
-> Restart your mobile before going to play games, to have gaming experience.
-> Clear the cache of the apps in 'Manage applications' in 'Application' settings.
-> Make sure that you have more than 100MB of space in SD card.
-> Set camera settings according to your need. Setting to superfine quality for videos occupies more space than your expectations.! 1GB free space in SD card is a good choice.
-> Move apps from Phone memory to SD card to maintain standard performance from your mobile.
-> Disconnect data connection every time you get off from the internet, to save data usage.
-> Save Battery, Save Energy, Save Environment.
