First, is there anyway to improve memory management on ICS ? I think my phone lags on some games (even simple ones) because of this...
Second, is an Antivirus program such as TrustGo necessary ?
Thanks.

Are you talking about RAM or SDCARD?
In my opinion, antivirus is not necessary.

try supercharger..or Adrenaline
Unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel. I suggest ArcKnight.
Get the V6 Supercharger.
About the second part of your question, I think it's always wiser to be protected. I prefer using Lookout Security & Antivirus.
And always, ALWAYS pay attention to the permissions that an app asks for before installation.

I already did both,
not sure if I should go from Arcknight 3.1 to 3.3 though
I have anti-virus just because if i lose my phone i can block it erase data and passwords or see in google maps were the phone is.
The 3.3 is a good update. Moreover, I think the Wi-Fi is broken on the 3.1

Try to remove bloatware witch you dont need
-also use a custom kernel & overclock to get faster performance when playing games

when someone calls me it takes about 5 seconds before the dialer pops up for answering the phone. I've reinstalled the firmware and i've removed all unwanted apps but the problem remanes.
Anyone got a solution for this problem?

Read the list of build prop edits, there's one for your issue there, I'm sure. I had the same issues on both the x10 and Arc. The best thing to use is the v6 supercharger, I'll add the link in a sec.

DON'T use the kernel tweak if you use DoomKernel, everything else is effective.

i'm allready using the v6 supercharge script(option 6) at the moment i'm running the oem kernel. In the build.prop edits list i only can find a fix for the outgoing phone delay
Just noticed that. Like I said, had that problem as well but seems to have gone so don't really know if it's a dialler or OS issue. Probably using similar to you, 2.3.4, DoomKernel, supercharger etc.

How much free RAM do you have?
Once my RAM was filled up and it took ages. When I have more free RAM it goes fast.

arround 100 mb free ram
i have a strange problem with w.whenever my ram crosses 318mb/351 mb.all the sounds of my phone disappers.i cant play music,video,no locking and unlocking sounds.i have to restart the phone again.this happens atleast once every day.any thoughts on this?
OK....my best guess is it's the phones way of protecting it's "core" functions. The ram usage has reached a point where there is a danger of failure of its prime functions and it is attempting to divert ram from other non essential services. First thing you've got to do is find out what's eating your ram. There are apps available that can supply this information though I don't know what they're called as I've never had to use them (sorry) Are you using a lot of apps that run in the background to bring you notifications etc? If this is the case and you don't really need the app, delete it....simples.....
There is also a setting in CM9 that allows you to turn off background data if you need to keep the apps......give it a go and see....it might be all you need to do

Other things to try.....
Keep the number of home screens to a minimum.....
Remove "Widgets" from your home screens....
Apps like Facebook, eBay, amazon, PayPal, hmv, game, email....basically any app that takes you to a website.....they ALL use ram and they will ALL restart if you close them......they can ALL be deleted and replaced by bookmarked web searches that can be pasted to your home screen....sure you won't get a notification if billy has commented on your status, or if you have an unread email, or if that item you're watching is ending soon, but if your phone works better as a result....who cares lol.......
If you want to take it further than that, root your phone (if you haven't already) and install Gemini app manager.....you can use it to prevent apps from auto running and using ram.......

yes stock rom
That'll be another reason then.....ur stock OS has all sorts of bloatware (social hub, music hub, games hub, maps.....) all of it using RAM.....another thing to watch for....3rd party launchers (go launcher + addons).....very RAM hungry....ROOT your phone and freeze the bloat.....you WILL notice a difference.....you don't even have to install a custom rom, though that WILL help too.....

you can just remove some apps from the phone or install w good task manager
just don't let a lot of apps run together
repair wont make anything tried it many times but nothing happens love multitasking gaming and speed unlock ur boot loader root ur phone flash a kennel then install racing bean
"_____________________________________________________________________________"
press thanks if I helped :good:
Another way to make it faster is to factory reset and then with an app like Titanium backup freeze and uninstall unnecessary stuff like google maps and it's inner apps that consume lots of RAM all the time
Get rooted, make a recovery, use supercharger.
Im currently running on generic rom and fw GB version but had it run with supercharger v8 and now runs faster than stock ics.

I repaired it and its a bit more faster and doesnt lagg that much BUT, now my WiFi is crashing much more than before, what should I do with the WiFi?
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
being on stock is actually more stable all round with features, but its damn laggy and inconsistent UI. i may suggest u unlock your bootloader, root your phone and install a custom ROM, doing a PC companion fix doesnt save any problems. Sony's own ICS is very poor to be honest.
And with this root thing, im a bit scared not to Fu** up my phone..:/
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
owh,, then choice is entirely yours. i dont blame you. if you're not confident of rooting , then dont. its risky at first.. but, if you dare, u must do as much research on the steps as possible. Xperia Arc/S definitely benefits more from rooting, if its successful.
Does anyone maybe have idea what to do to solve WiFi crashing problem?

Try flash Adreno booster again. That worked for me.
I can advice you to flash nxt2jb, this Rom has been discontinued, but it is the most stable and fastest Rom available.
Flash it over lupus v6 stock gb 720p kernel. Virtuos governor at 1GHz or 1.2 GHz. (no adreno booster)
And then tell how its working.
Also avoid using the facebook application if you are already using it, coz it is a memory hog, instead u can go for friendcaster or fast

Make sure that you have at least 150 megs available on the internal disk, otherwise will have problem with lags. Reboot the phone when play some heavy game, because if your phone is much time powered, some games usually has lags, and only resolves with reboot. ( I don't know the cause).

You can download flashtool and flash the 2.3.3 ftf. There's a 2.3.4 ftf as well but google sync is broken. If you don't care about gsync then go with it. Seqrch flashtool for 2011 xperia devices on here or on google. Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897 and look under ftfs for the one you want. Then shut down your phone hold the back button and plug in tge usb to cpu. Click on flash (af lightning bolt symbol in top left and choose the ftf.

I think you mean PC because every PC and smartphone needs a CPU to run....anyways if you don't have a PC your probably Sol unless your on froyo or low gingerbread then apps like z4root and ginger break may be able to root your phone
