Can you expand on that? I am using Scott's debloat method(1.1) with a ton of stuff removed, but I did leave in Rosie... so could I just disable Rosie and then install Go Launcher and basically have it "de sensed"?

I am familiar and comfortable with Scott's method and like editing the batch file myself so that I can pick what I specifically want to freeze. Here is what I have so far:

What else would I need to add to that list, to effectively "de-sense" the phone, so that I can then run Go Launcher and not have two different launchers sitting in memory?

I would prefer to use this method, as it is easy to reverse and hard to mess things up. I think all I would have to do is perhaps add Rosie and a couple other items, reboot and then install Go? And if I want to go back, just uninstall Go and re-enable those items with Scott's script?
[HTC Rezound] zwade01:
Check out the "desense" thread under the Development category. It's fantastic.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Ok, de-sensed it and am rebooting now. Go Launcher is installed, I did that prior to the de-sense in case the modified launcher wouldn't work, so I already have Go ready to... go, I guess? haha

Let's see how it looks and performs... Sense is very pretty, but if I can make the phone faster and smoother and get more battery life until ICS comes out in a few months, I think it is worth it...
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
One thing that de-sensing does is get rid of the screen-cap functionality. Oh well, I guess that is the price of cleaning the phone up. That feature will come back in ICS anyway...
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I am running in the 450mb free area, and the system seems responsive. One thing I did notice is that my Antutu scores dropped by about 1,000 points... I was in the 5,850 range and am now barely breaking 4,900 points... Tried running 3 times, scores are consistently 1,000 or so lower than they were under Sense.

Thoughts?

Quadrant is about the same, hovering in the 2400 or so range...
[HTC Rezound] xRogerxC:
Honestly until we can s-off, root and run an AOSP ROM then Sense will always run and hog resources. I truly look forward to one day running CM7, or even better CM9!

Sent via my HTC Rezound using XDA premium app.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
True, but can you think of any reason why Antutu would drop 1,000 points from taking Sense off?

Putting it back on now, will retest and see if score jumps up.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I am gonna go back to Sense. The performance hit of removing it is too much. Also, when you "re-sense" it using that script, half the HTC widgets, like the calendar, don't come back.

Just had to do a hard reset to actually get things back to normal, and I will just use Scott's de-bloat script to freeze unwanted apps.
[HTC Rezound] dukins:
I use an app called Home Manager. I can easily switch between sense or go launcher. But what I like about it is. I can kill sense when using go launcher and vice versa so there is no memory running depending on which home replacement im using. :D
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
That is what I use also to swap between Sense & ADWLauncher EX.

~John
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Are we sure about that? if you select Go Launcher, how do you know that Sense is not loaded into memory, using battery power or CPU cycles?

The way I understood it is that Sense loads when the phone boots, and just because you tell the phone to use Go Launcher or ADW, it doesn't actually disable or kick Sense out of memory.

Or am I wrong on that?
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Shouldn't Care. People get so caught up in getting a high score, but at the end of the day, does the phone feel slow to you? Does it freeze? No? Then who cares.

My single core tbolt clocked at 1.5 Ghz was pulling quadrant scores over 3000 with muchless ram. The software was what made it happen. That and the kernel with the governor used.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
No it doesn't which is why I not only switched to launcher pro but then froze sense launcher so it wouldn't run.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
I dunno.. im pure stock.. 210mb in use. Getting 15hrs+ battery life .

No debloating no freezing apps.. just pure stock sense.

Check my battery life thread.

I'm starting to think debloating and all that is a placibo effect. I don't doubt people see better performance but is it really better or does it just "seem" better. It's such a subjective issue. It's hard to get any empirical data.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I agree 100%.

All this talk of better battery life etc is total nonsense IMHO.

I am using ADWLauncher for now just because I like all the customization options, but my battery life hasn't changed from Sense.

The ONLY thing I have ever seen make a real difference in battery life is using a custom lean kernel and we can't do that yet.

~John
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
I know that benchmarks are to be taken with a grain of salt, but if you run the Antutu benchmark 5 times in a row and get a pretty consistent score, and then you switch from Sense to Go Launcher with no other changes, and rerun the tests 5 times and your scores plummet 1,000 or so, consistently (mainly in the CPU and integer sections), I have to think that there is something there.

I think that for now, I will stick with a de-bloated Sense and wait for ICS and by then hopefully they will have cracked the bootloader so that we can throw an ICS version of Cyanogen or something on it...
[HTC Rezound] player911:
I installed adw ex immediately after purchase. Set it up the way I like it. Feels good. I also got rid of the HTC keyboard. Im used to stock gb keyboard.

Phone feels solid. Pretty nice. Speaker is very loud and clear.

-sent from temp HTC Rezound waiting for Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I don't think so. Debloating gets apps like blockbuster out of the memory cache sitting there holding 15mb for no reason because I'll never use the app. I don't kill much of sense, but things like stocks, news and their widgets don't need to be loaded.

As far as sense vs other launchers, I've noticed it depends on what you use on the launcher, how many widgets etc you have on there.

I compared adw, launcher pro, sense and mobile shell 3d on the thunderbolt. ADW and launcher pro using twitter or facebook widgets used almost as much memory as mobile shell, 40mb vs about 50mb for mobile shell. And sense would use about 50-60mb for me.

On my rezound, sense is always around 50mb for me. Sense 3.5 seems smoother and less memory intensive.

I originally did this for the Hero to help new users install ADB and the files required for Resigning and developing.Thought it would be handy here too!

If you have the Android drivers installed and just want ADB then download THIS FILE and extract the contents to /windows/system32 (32 bit windows) or /windows/sysWOW64 (64bit windows)

WINDOWS 7

Thought i would make a noob friendly guide on setting all these up..should make it easier foor noobs to have some fun :)

If you have user account control on you will need to run these as administrator! Or just turn off UAC

To make it more noob friendly i will include pictures

Download Java JDK HERE

Android SDK HERE

And Testsign.zip View attachment 330328

Install Java JDK by double clicking the JDK file you downloaded

Now goto My Computer > Local Disk (C:\) and create a folder called Android and open it.....Create another folder called androidSDK (NO SPACES!)

Extract the Android SDK you downloaded into the AndroidSDK folder there should now be 5 folders in there....)FIG(A)add-ons,docs,platform,usb_driver and tools...

Go into tools and keep it open...the top bar will say something like C:\Android\androidSDK click this top bar and copy it ALL!FIG(A)

Now you need to add the tools folder to your path....

Right click my computer > Properties > Advanced system settings > Enviroment variables

In the system variables box (the lower one) find the path it should be the 5th one down (under OS) highlight path and click edit....

Now go to the end of that line and put a ; there..Then paste the line you copied earlier..

Your path should now look like FIG(B)

now make a Tea/Coffee/Grab a beer or whatever :)

Back to your tools folder now...Remember that Testsign.zip? Well extract it into your tools folder please.

Next click start (win7 logo in your taskbar) and type CMD it should say command prompt.exe double click it!

Now is the test! Type autosign and hit enter (not hard obviously) If it says XDA in huge letters you are laughing! If not drag and drop Autosign.bat from your tools folder into the CMD window and press enter.

type 1 > enter > yes

2 > enter > yes

3 > enter > yes (enter means press enter not type it.just in case your such a noob you dont know your own keyboard)

You should now be able to resign .apk files by right clicking, if that doesnt work you can type autosign in a cmd window and do option (4) to manually sign.

To install drivers for your android device.......

Option a) Install HTC Sync

Option b) Use the files from the Android SDK

Check adb debugging is enabled on your phone and plug the bad boy in,go to device manager (right click my computer) find ADB (it will probably have a warning sign) right click that and direct the install to your USB_DRIVER (or Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver) folder

Open up Command prompt (CMD.EXE) type adb devices should say something like HT01GL902119 device

I will be installing linux this weekend so will do a tut for linux next week

[Xperia Arc Android Development] FormelLMS:
Hey,

I don't want to call it a tweak, but I can't find another word what can describe it.

I've my Xperia Arc S since two days and I am playing a bit around with it.

What I've seen is, that I hate the power button and the lockscreen looks good, but I don't like the sliding. But I don't lke 3rd party lockscreen apps, too, because they eat memory and sometimes you have to wait for them to unlock the phone.

Some guys knew my MIUI Roms for Nexus One, Nexus S and Incredible S, but with Arc S I've thought that I don't want to do any development.

But hey, trying some things are not as bad.

So:

If you don't like lock screen sliding, you can do the following

- open a root explorer on your Arc (S)

- navigate to /data/local

- make a new file there

- call it "enable_menu_key"

- give it the right permissions, as the other files in that folder have

Then you can unlock your phone with Home key (opens to lock screen) and then simply pressing menu key for going to the home screen

This is a simple thing, you can try it. I'm new to Xperia Arc. Don't cry too loud if it was a bad idea to post this. If you can use it, be happy with it. ;)

And a bit more power to your phone:

Open the build.prop in the /system folder, search for "dalvik heap size" and change it from 32 to 48. Then you have to reboot. It's a bt more speed or less laggy.

;) Bye!

Download the enable menu key file:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] FormelLMS:
Not so easy. This what I have posted is an very old hack left from the Google programmers while making Android.

They don't want to unlock the phones every time while coding and testing.

But you're right, home key is better.

If anyone has an idea... ;-)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
For other keys you would need to change Android code.

See android sourcecode in: /frameworks/base/policy/src/com/android/internal/policy/impl/LockScreen.java

You can easily add any key to this ;) But for that you would need to compile your own version of Android OR lockscreen.

But i personally don't like this "feature" much. It's very insecure if you carry the phone in your pocket :D You could accidently unlock the phone ...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjchung:
Any else notice dark blobs when displaying black backgrounds? I believe they're air bubbles, as they disappear when pressed. Is this typical of SAMOLED screens and does it go away? Or should I take my device back in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Goat_For_Sale:
I have noticed some lines on my screen when displaying in low brightness, do you see these spots on all brightness levels ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjchung:
Resolved! Looks like using the handset for a day--pressing it against my face, putting it in my pocket, et cetera--has made the blotches disappear. I only noticed them last night while reading from the kindle app, night mode, minimum brightness in a dark room. It's been about 12 hours since (and a little less than 24 hours since purchase), and testing it again in a dark room, the blotches are no longer an issue.

My theory is that it was air bubbles between the digitizer/glass/lcd, and it hadn't quite 'set'. This phone has only been out a week here in Korea, and it's been sold out everywhere, so I'm guessing that we're receiving these units as soon as they roll off the assembly line. The store I bought mine from didn't even have them on site, so they had to get a bike messenger to bring one from another location.

No lines, however. I'm not sure what that's about. Is it a banding type effect? Or are they thin, sharp, and jagged?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
the lines are due to the pentile screen. at least with the higher res/ppi it doesn't do that fuzzy text/icon b.s. like the RAZR(at least not noticeably to the average eye).

So after rooting my device, it feels noticeably slower.

Browser, applications, home screen, all feel slower to me than when it was completely stock.

Got a feeling I am going to revert back to stock.

With 4.0, I don't really feel that root accomplishes that much anymore besides backups and new Roms.

Anybody else see this?

rooting allows more access. Performance should not hindered if only root is attained. The root of the problem probably lies elsewhere.
