I don't understand how those roms could have yielded a positive experience for you. While the later versions of Newt and Joel's ports of of the RcMix roms provided many workarounds to HTC's lazy programming to achieve workable performance, they inevitably suffered from major issues and several minor annoyances such as notification pull down lag and on occasion hot reboots. On top of that, launching apps took considerably longer than any sense 2.1/1.0 or aosp rom, undoubtedly due to the resource hog that is Sense 3.5. If all that wasn't bad enough, the several excessive memory tweaks the devs had to use to make the software run somewhat acceptable resulted in killing our ability to multitask like an android device and more like an iPhone.

Many of these issues were due to running such a bloated piece of software on old hardware, but the writing is on the wall. Sense could behave much better if HTC gave a hoot about the resources they're hogging.

Running GB with sense 3.0 on the droid incredible and expecting it to run flawlessly is unrealistic.

Im hearing sense is garbage, lazy programming etc. Do any of you guys have any research to back these statements up?

I have this annoying habit of relying on research, facts and General consensus rather then my old phone ran buggy on New software.

And i do realize that sense takes more resources.

[HTC Rezound] Div033:
I do not have access to the HTC sense source code, so I cannot provide any hard facts for my claims of lazy programming. I am however very familiar with the world of software development and feel comfortable making these claims when comparing it to other manufacturer skins like Touchwiz. One single sense 3.0/3.5 widget (calendar) will cause framerates to plummet to the days of donut, yet the latest of touchwiz remains pure fluid and smooth. I do agree that expecting it to run flawlessly on older hardware is unrealistic and did mention in my previous post that many of the issues are due to the older hardware.

The fact is that HTC should be trying to optimize and improve their skin with each new iteration instead of just tacking more bloat onto it, thus requiring more resources. They should be spending their time and resources making Windows 7, not Windows Vista.

when I buy a phone I want it for its hardware(and of course, android). I have never liked sense period yet sadly all the biggest/best phones have sense on them. that being the case, I always remove sense on every phone I get & with this Rezound, once its S-OFF'd I plan on just using AOSP roms.

my last phone, the Thunderbolt... all the sense based roms averaged around 350MB whereas all the AOSP roms averaged around 90MB.... and everytime the AOSP roms performed better.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
Read the article I posted about why android lags. It's the way android is coded and has nothing to do with hardware. Until its fixed we can try to mod the phone and improve hardware to make it smoother but the real problem us in the code and Google has admited as much
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
What kind of logic is that? If we are going that route then did u buy ur car for its computer system?
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:
Those are more valid points but I disagree about touchwiz. I think Samsung is far behind htc.

My issue with HTC is their new library fusion which I have spent a good deal of time trying to write out of source code in the htc apps I mod. There i fully agree with you. That is unnecessary resources for the sole purpose of applying skins.

The HardWare...

its like Buying a Honda cause the body style is wat u want but the motor isnt..

[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Sense isn't bad by all means, as in terms of functionality it's probably the best UI skin. Just it seems this version of sense isn't as polished as it could be with the lag/stutters every now and then. I know those stutters/lag are also attributed to Android in general, but removing sense helps keep those to a minimal. Hopefully ICS will abolish all the lag/stutter issues that sense has, although i know it will still be filled with all the crapware from VZW.
[HTC Rezound] zwade01:
Why De-sense? That's like asking "why de-boat?" I wanna get rid of stuff I don't use or care for. Sure, I know I can just simply not use it, but I don't even wanna see it on there as an option. Hidden, disabled, whatever... good enough for me... for now anyway.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
You say that, but I think Android is the bigger problem. The nexus has lag in the videos I've seen and it has no skin on it.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
You are correct. Android is the issue and has been for the 4+ years.
[HTC Rezound] hotleadsingerguy:
This. I'm only keeping this phone until the Nexus releases, but I already replaced the launcher. I did so before I even got back to my car.

Better battery life using other launchers, not as ugly, *much* more efficient and quick, etc...
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
I think a lot of this is a placebo effect.

I swap back & forth between Sense & ADWLauncher EX. I really like both options(I really like the HTC widgets) but I also like the many customization options in ADW.

I read all the posts about the "vasly improved performance & MUCH better battery life" but they are all total BS IMHO.

I have flashed hundreds of ROMs on a ton of different phones and the ONLY thing I have ever seen noticeably improve battery life is running a custom lean kernel & unfortunately we can't do that yet.

I have noticed any change in battery life whatever even with Sense frozen & running ADW.
[HTC Rezound] Tenchi4U:
I did it b/c I like the hardware on the phone but just not a fan of the oem Sense interface, the dpi of the screen and color rendering in particular (which is pretty close to my color-calibrated S-IPS...something usually only Apple devices could accomplish until now); for my needs ADW Ex offers far superior options.

I figure if I don't use it, just get it out of the way. I don't expect any drastic battery or speed increase, but I do like the additional RAM de-sensing provides, which could allow for larger apps to run without any FCs caused by a lack of available memory or need to close any other running app/service I may be running in the back.
[HTC Rezound] Div033:
Yes, it is well known that android's UI rendering process is not granted real time priority as it should. However, it is quite telling when I'm running ICS right now and its performing better than any sense 3.0/3.5 rom. We don't even have full true hardware acceleration yet. There are many lags present in sense 3.0+ roms that are not present in other android roms, especially AOSP. That being said, AOSP is still prone to lag on occasion, just not all the time like on sense 3.0+

Sense 3.5 ROMs on the Incredible - a Very Positive Experience

It was a positive experience because I had realistic expectations. The functionality and eye candy were worth the price of a little lag. I tried 'em all, and they got better with time. The tweakability and added eye candy were fantastic. Most people who came from a stock Incredible were absolutely blown away by the Rezound and Sense 3.5. But I was actually only merely pleased with the speed, and somewhat underwhelmed with the interface. I'd already had a feature-rich Sense 3.5 ROM to play on. Now with the Rezound, I had all the power to run that ROM, and had to put up with a castrated version of it on my new superphone.

Putting AOSP anything on this phone would be silly. Yeah, it'd run flawlessly, but talk about a waste. It'd spend 90% of its battery cycle doing nothing. It's like having a $4000, I7 CPU equipped, dual top-of-the-line graphics card gaming rig of a computer, and just using it to run Linux. It's just unnecessary. There's no benefit to the end user, except that they'll only need to charge it 2 or 3 times a week.
[HTC Rezound] dpiddy14:
This is pretty much how I feel. All the HTC phones I have had running a stripped down Sense Rom run just as well or better than ASOP or CM. You will still have the lag, on any rom, which has been talked about is a android problem not a Sense problem. Also battery life issues I totally agree with you on that too.

Kernals play a big role in that. Could Sense be a little more open and allow more customization. Yes. Could they allow you chose what is in your dock. Yes. But hopefully that will come in time. Sense is a work in progress just like android is. As for it being a resource hog. I have 300+ mb free at all times. Everyone says not to use task killers because androids task manager will free up space as needed. Isn't this true on a sense rom? Whats the difference if you have 300mb+ free or 800mb? Yes, the first phones HTC undersized the RAM which caused Sense lag. I always had less than 70mb on a couple of my HTC phones. I don't see that being the case here though.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
Obviously, lag is subjective. Having come from the Incredible and its many Sense 3.5 ROM experiments, the Rezound shows the performance potential that the Incredible only hinted at. This is why we need S-Off: so the Devs can show off the true capabilities, features, and power of Sense 3.5.
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
Agreed thats the reason I bought this phone hardware and build quality.
[HTC Rezound] Div033:
Oh I know, I knew things wouldn't work perfectly with 3.5 on my Inc. Usability matters most to me so obviously I had some major qualms and could not brush aside the major impedance of the many issues present.

What really set me off about sense 3.5 was seeing the same lag on the Rezound that I saw on my Incredible. I mentioned earlier my brother picked one up and I've played with it extensively. Sure, it is a little better, but not 1.5GHz dual core better. I know android doesn't prioritize UI rendering over other processes, but the issues I'm speaking of are specific to Sense 3.0+ based systems, meaning I do not see them on any other manufacturer skin or AOSP.

Also, by your logic, if I buy a pickup truck I should always be hauling a huge trailer around just because the truck is capable of it.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Falkner09:
So I just opened and activated this phone 20 minute ago. I had been on the Samsung Transform Ultra (a stock phone, but for the slightly modded launcher) and the ram use on that, with nearly 50 apps installed, is at this moment, 145 MB. bu the HTC phone, with Sense and all the bloat on it, after having been turned on for only 20 minutes and not having a SINGLE app installed on it by me yet, is 235 MB.

anyway, should I apply the optimistation" update that is available? I know some "updates" have been known to make things worse or removes features, add more bloat etc, like on my old Sidekick, so I'm wary.

What is the best way to increase battery life on LG P999 Optimus X2?

Model: LG-P999 (Wind Mobile Canada)

OS: 2.2.2

Baseband: M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9.972T 1

Build: FRG83G

Software: LG-P999-AWC-V11h

Rooted: YES

Or would it better to put on a custom ROM instead that looks identical to the current stock?

I am not sure if this battery issue maybe due to the fact that I had O2X installed and then flashed it back to a backup copy I got from XDA-Dev but ones again not sure, it just seems battery now die's even faster then it used to with STOCK firmware without CM7 and O2X
[LG Optimus 2x] krajova:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1114

Otherwise I am happy with battery performance on Miui 1.11.25
[LG Optimus 2x] ptdesu:
I don't think so since its 2x is also P-999 unless it P-900. I heard Miui lacks some features and has problems dealing with stuff like MMS and others.

Would still love to reduce battery usage
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Your phone is a g2x as its real name p999 proves it. Canadian providers falsely renamed it o2x.

O2x is p990. Nobody had the unique solution for battery. Too many factors.

As hardware, kernels and ROM are different, you should ask on g2x threads.

LG optimus X2 (P990) battery charging

Hey guys I bought my LG OX2 a month ago, and I do have a few phone/tablet chargers, one for my blackberry, one for the kindle fire and one for my LG-OX2. All of them have the same connection, so I thought i will keep my Lg charger at my office and use my kindle charger to charged my OX2 at home. I was using CM7 and i had no problems at all. A few days ago I flash it with NOVA HD+ and first couple days charging over night with the kindle charger had no problems but after that in the mornings my phone is completely shut off. So i have to take the battery off and back on to start it. This morning i notice it again but the battery was empty, so i connected again and after 20 min was doing fine but after 40 min the phone shut off again completely and was very very hot specially where the camere area is. Anyone knows if is because I'm not using the original charger or is the new rom NOVA HD+.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
It shouldn't be the charger. All micro USB ports should have +5V on their power terminals (this is the USB voltage from your PC USB port).

EDIT: You can refer to this link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usb#Power

EDIT number 2:

Unless, of course, your charger is defective.
[LG Optimus 2x] hectormcesar:
Well yes you're right is not the charger. As i just connected to the lg charger and after 15 minutes i check the phone and was very hot and unable to turn it on. So I had taken the battery out to cool it off for a few minutes. What else could it be? I don't remember or changing or doing any tweaks.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I've seen a lot of complaining about exactly the same thing as you. I would try flashing temasek's latest kang and vadonka's latest kernel, which should be among the most stable ROM/kernel combination out there for O2X.

If you still get SOD (sleep of death) while charging the phone, it could be a defective battery, or a defective phone altogether. In which case I would suggest that you try to flash your phone back to factory settings and ask for a replacement.
[LG Optimus 2x] hectormcesar:
I appreciate your input. At this moment is charging ok, no heating, no SOD (SOD hehehe funny). I have download it the latest NOVA HD+ and i think i gonna give it another try. If continues heating up while charging I will take your advice (although flashing temasek's latest kang and vadonka's latest kernel sounds more complex work for a newbie like me. Do you know if there's any tutorial to follow?)

I will post the result after the update.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
It's very simple. How do you flash NOVA? Isn't it through CWM? Flashing temasek's kang and vadonka's kernel is exactly through the same method.

EDIT: Good luck :)

EDIT #2: Lol @ SOD :p
[LG Optimus 2x] hectormcesar:
The first time I flash NOVA was thru rom manager. Last night i flash the latest NOVA (which seems to be a new version almost everyday) http://hei1125.hopto.org/Nova HD (CM9)/

And I did it thru recovery mode, this time I wiped cache and delvik. And seems like everything is working normal. I did charge it over night, no heating, no SOD, is working flawless. Camera, clock, email working fine, browser now works on landscape which before wasn't. Video still not working. (ooopsss as i'm testing the video the phone kinda crashed and i had to remove battery to reboot it).

But so far so good... I hope stays 'stable'.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Glad it's working better for you now :)

How do you test the video? I can record video and play it back without any problems. I can also play youtube videos. Never had problems.
[LG Optimus 2x] hectormcesar:
I open muy camera app and click on record video and the apps shuts down with a message "sorry the camera was closed because of error".

I can play videos on YouTube without problem.

So for a couple times the phone has gone frozen and the only way to reboot its by removing the battery.
[LG Optimus 2x] ads88:
I use an App killer to kill all apps every 30 minutes. It really helps.
[LG Optimus 2x] hectormcesar:
I use auto killer memory. Works great.
[LG Optimus 2x] riwarren:
I have found the solution to the poor battery life on the wind mobile G2X.

The culprit is the stock battery. Get rid of it. I was getting less than 3-4 hours battery life from mine with everything I could possibly do to reduce the battery load.

I purchased an extended battery off e-bay. It is the identical physical size, but has 1950mAh.

I now get well over 24 hours battery life. Over 10 hours playing games/browsing internet.
[LG Optimus 2x] body150165:
A lot of discussions about aftermarket batteries in many forums (here i guess, too).

If there is a print on the battery like 2200mAh, actually it doenst mean anything. You can be lucky to get a higher capacity or maybe get one with less. Dont believe in the sellers claim

Are you rooted? If so, you can edit the csc file in the /system directory -- its the "salescode" text file. I believe you must use uppercase letters.

In the market there is an app sgs tools -- that will do it 100%, but it resets and wipes your system too.

There is an app called market enabler that lets you spoof a different country code without any other system edits.
