Learn how to speed up your iPhone or iPod Touch by removing unnecessary daemons that run in background while you use your device.

By doing this, you can save a lot of RAM usage and make your iPhone or iPod Touch faster.

What is daemons :

Quote from Wikipedia.com

In Unix and other computer multitasking operating systems, a daemon is acomputer program that runs in the background, rather than under the direct control of a user; they are usually initiated as background processes.

Before doing anything, I want to warn you that I'm not resposible if anything happen to your device because now you are dealing with core system files in iPhone/iPod Touch. If you wrongly delete or messed up with the system files, this can lead to your data loss (Restore back the firmware) etc.So please MAKE BACKUP FIRST !!!

So now learn how to speed up your device.

First step,you need to SSH or using USB cables to browse your device folder. In this tutorials, I'm using iFunBox. Browse to folder called LaunchDaemons. It is located inSystem-Library-Launch Daemons.

Right Click on Launch Daemons folder and click on Copy to PC.

Now the next step is you need to delete unneeded .plist files located in Daemons Folder. Right Click and Delete.

Safe Daemons - These can be deleted by any user, with no adverse effects on the device.

Conditional Daemons - These daemons can be disabled by certain users who have no need for some features of their device.

2. com.apple.accessoryd.plist - If removed, disables accessories like FM radio transmitters, iPhone docks, and AV cables. Accessories will be able to charge your device, but that is all they will be able to do. Remove this if you don't use any of these accessories.

10. com.apple.AdminLite.plist - This daemon tries to return control of your device to you if it thinks that you are waiting for a lengthly process to respond. It does this by force-quitting the process, so if you're tired of your apps crashing and you would rather wait a few seconds for them to finish what they're doing, disable this daemon.
