[HD2 Android NAND Development] theslam08:
Reporting because this one actually installed :D

Heres a quick tip I think causes some issues for some (atleast fixed my frozen 'gogogo' problem). If you download the old files called Recovery_400mb and flash that, the cache and boot are both at 5M. I noticed yours are both at 8M. I reflashed with boot being 8M and it worked. So, just in case that happens to anyone else.

------------

Anyway on with good ROM. v1.2 T-Mo

I waited like 30 minutes before touching after flash. Lockscreen took several seconds to show up, but setup was a breeze.

Sense took like 5 minutes to give me the force close option. Then a few more minutes until it did again. Then after that it came up.

Installed setcpu and boosted cpu to 768 - 1g. Makes it less chance to fall idle.

I rebooted. Rebooted again and fixed permissions. THEN LOGGED INTO GOOGLE ACCOUNT. Important step I think. DONT LOG INTO ACCOUNT UNTIL YOU HAVE REBOOTED SEVERAL TIMES. It helps lessen the stress on startup. I also delete all my widgets off the desktop, so its just the one clock/weather htc one, and a few icons. Keep it light.

Now, my lockscreen icons are there instantly everytime I turn it on. Even have the clock widget.

+'s

-Its the best I have tried so far of real sense 3 (Though TBH I have not tried dung's 4 series).

-It DOES work pretty decent, so its usable.

-Getting better

-'s

-For some reason, this thing is just DAMN heavy! There seems to be tons of services running. My main point is the RAM, I mean 100MB free is not really good at all. I get the feeling, thats why some stuff dont work, like maps? It works for a short amount of time, then crashes to a phone reboot. I think we run out of RAM? Or would it warn instead?

-Maps, like stated above. That I kind of need, and if anyone else needs it, what are they using as a work around? Most are paid apps, whereas googles is free :(. And I highly recommend no one tries maps, as its crashed the os it now wont open sense really...

-Its like maybe cache isnt big enough? But, its quick until you do something new basically. I do many actions quickly after a little use, then I go to remove an icon from desktop (not have done this yet) and its terribly sluggish. Its like, every tiny thing you do has to get loaded, and its not a big enough box to load into (partitions too small?)

So overall, my big question is this: What are the REAL big things still on this sense 3 that they dont have back-ported, with it running a bit better? Seems the bubbles are black-transparent here, but that could also be causing some of the issues too. Also, the carasel spins as you unlock and move panels, its more '3D'.

I think I see 2, maybe 3 things. To be honest, I think either 2 things can happen:

1. The processes and things runinng in the background, taking up all the RAM, NEED to be killed! 350MB for what?? Thats a crazy amount, I know sense needs it, but that 3d stuff really eats a 100mb or so? Personally, I say get the REAL phone if you want that. We honestly are trying to get too much out of this phone, the back-porting seems to be working the best (with about 175mb free - thats better). RAM in phones is becoming just like computers were 5 years ago. We are clamouring for it now LOL

2. We can hope that the desire GB source code helps us, maybe optimize ram some, but to be honest, you have cut this ROM by quite a bit. Thats awesome, makes it lighter. BUT, its still really heavy. If the desire source code dont help, we probably will never have this running like original sense 2.1 GB (no sense 3 parts at all) did. That flew, better than ANY sense 2.0 froyo.

ANYWAY, sorry for looong post. I just think you may want the thorough response, as there arent many so far. Also, some of my feelings that dont matter ;), just an opinion on the sense 3 scene ;).

Great work overall though man, definitely trying what not many are.
