How about stock android? The APUS Boost application (or built into the apus skin) is a great was of quickly clearing RAM and boosting phone speed.

You can also root your phone and then overclock the CPU ;)

Yeah I switched from that phone to HTC One M8. Basically can't do much apart from giving it a new rom. The phone will be pretty sluggish no matter what. I have tried a lot of roms and they all preformed average with the phone.

The stock android was very slow. Also my kernel dosen't support overclocking

I would just go back to the original version of android that it ran. It'll be smoother, faster, and less demanding.

You can always get an iPhone =P. Thats what worked for me when I was sick of fiddling with my phones to get them to not lag. 

 

Jokes aside, flash a custom stock rom to get rid of any bloat that may be on the phone. I'd recommend against overclocking. Some people swear by it (as you can see from this thread) but it lowers your battery life even with good governors. It also creates some system instability and is just generally not recommended. There is a reason it wasn't clocked to that speed in the first place.  You can remove the animations if you desire. 

 

Honestly, there isn't much you can do. Android phones tend to lag, especially the older models running pre Jelly Bean. And HTC slaps a heavy skin over Android. 

 

Edit: I saw you installed Cyanogenmod. Aside from that there isn't much else you can do.

Do not clear your ram. This does nothing but hurts your performance. Android will automatically deal with the processes it's holding in ram. Clearing your ram yourself ram messes with this process. 

 

Regardless of that, unused ram is wasted ram.

 

Also do not use swapper. That's for ancient phones with less than 500mb of ram.
