[Q] Three Questions: RAM 768 MB / Apps 1GB / Swype - HTC Sensation

I’m just about to buy my first Android phone and after seeing a lot of reviews I decided that the HTC Sensation probably will be the right choice for me(compared to the Galaxy S2), mainly because I like Sense much more (Samsungs Email Client is a mess), the higher screen resolution is better for viewing pdfs (and any kind of small letters) and me feeling is that the Developer-Community is more with HTC than with Samsung (Cynagon!).
Now three questions still bother me (and please forgive me, if they have been discussed before, I searched in this forum, but wasn’t really successful):
- RAM 768 MB (G S2: 1GB): Is there any noticeable difference?
- Apps: 1 GB (G S2: 16 GB): Should I care? Or can I move most of the apps to the SD-Card?
- Swype: I like the concept and I didn’t read any positive reviews about HTS Trace. So the question is: Can I install Swype (the open Beta version) on HTC Sensation and is there a German language version?
Thanks for your help!
Peter

i wish someone would comment on the new facebook friendstream widgets.. like what new features does it have etc.

Q1: Not a massive difference no... its all fast and smooth enough and as long as you dont have EVERY app open at the same time you will be fine.
Q2: You can move to SD card anyway, and ofc can be upgraded to 32gb so thats fine.
Q3: You can installe swype beta as i have it on mine, and it work brilliantly
Hope i helped

I've added and "Edit" section under 'Sense' for the FriendStream widgets.

your first 2 questions have been asked/answered in multiple threads so you can search for those.
as for swype, here is their list of supported resolutions & languages & it looks like german isn't supported right now for qHD

I don't know why everyone keeps asking for videos because unless there is a huge graphical difference (ie themes or change in the likescreen, statusbar, rosie, etc) then it's going to be the same as any other Hero rom out there.
In regards to speed and stability, that's mostly up to you the user. You configure the user.conf to your liking and use whatever apps you want. The more apps you have installed and more widgets you have on your screen the slower and more unstable your phone is. Also the speed of your sdcard could have a factor in it as well. Other factors could be included as well but the bottom line is that most Hero roms are identical to eachother and pretty much work the same way. Any obvious differences that are easily noticed visually is mostly themed.
I say backup what you have with nandroid/bart/switchrom/whatever and try it. Coming from JacHeroSki2.2, I'm noticing that this hasn't given me a single reboot and seems much more stable. But it's pointless to make a video of it because it looks the same. But... if someone would like to indulge us in a video of an MLIGN rom (which will be obsolete after every update by the way) than go for it! It's just my opinion that it's a waste of time.

The reason why i do videos is to show the improvements from the previous ROM.. Other people can then compare then if one of my ROMs suck and its BC of APK editing then i know to not use them.. I'm just trying to show them what is in store for them when i release it.

I hope not. Ive seen nothing good come of the ram hack on G1's. The phone is only meant to use a set amount of ram, and all it does it become extremely unstable when added. My experience with the ram hack i get nothing but reoots from phone going to sleep and even just sitting the home button.

Btw, can anyone post the default wallpaper (green leaves), or tell me what file the wallpapers are located in? I didn't see a Launcher.apk...
Edit: Also @MLIGN, will v2.5.7 have LED support? Not sure if you were planning on integrating the build.prop from Maxisma or not... AFAIK, there're no LEDs on v2.5.5, right?

well i think he was talking abt recording a video abt his new rom that has the 10mb ram hack in his last thread but idk if this one has it. we have to wait till he releases it n the changelog to see.......
hmmm i got a problem.. i dont get missed call notification on 2.5.5
...Never mind it works now.. it wasnt last night.
And to whoever was askin about the LED's they do work just download the missed call app.
Request/Suggestion
On the next and upcoming versions, could you change the gmail icon? It would be easier for those of us who use two email addresses. In my case, I like to glance at the notification bar to see if I have gmail email aka my business email, but now I can't tell because the HTC mail and gmail notification icons are the same. Thanks bud.
P.S Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was you who posted the twitpic with the purple/jester rosie, right?
EDIT: ON 2.55 I noticed, the browser can get very laggy

[TWEAKS]IMPROVE OPERA: More tabs + Smooth Scroll + more. [Upd:01.02.10]

So the original issue was the inability to open more than 2 "Heavy" sites before Opera stop loading anymore in new tabs. This has been solved on my device thanks to c4Lvin in post "11"
I thought I could also share a couple of registry settings that improved my browsing experience a great deal (cab attached):
Increase Scrolling FPS
I changed the following key to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
PanFps=50
Increase Zooming FPS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
ZoomFps=50
These two above make a world of difference in smoothness of both scrolling and zooming on my device. Do not enter a value higher than 50 or it will not take effect (at least it did not on my HD2)
Also,
Lower Default Zoom (Really takes advantage of the HD2 beautiful screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100
Edit:
OK guys, I have created a cab that "Should" work. I tested it on my HD2 and it worked, but, INSTALL AT OWN RISK
What the cab should do is introduce (change existent values to) the following:
HKLM\Software\Opera\Info\PanFps=50
HKLM\Software\Opera\Info\ZoomFps=50
And it will also create an Opera_Smooth_log.txt file under \My Documents\ (Yes Phone Memory, you can delete it)
Enjoy
.-Deleted-.
Thanks for this, made Opera browser even better. Hopefully when Opera Mobile 10 comes out they can include all the HD2 tweaks for it as well.
Great! works fine...thnx
You are a genius!!!!
Boy this has got to be the absolute best tweak ever! I can't believe nobody else had this earlier (at least I wasn't aware of it). It was never mentioned on the tweaks section. Your few reg tweaks just made the HD2 scroll SO SMOOTH (similar to IE). I totally agree with you on 2+ tabs on heavy sites. I can't ever load my ebay pages and engadget without closing one or the other which is a shame. I noticed it's not the opera's program itself but I think when the chef cooks the rom, some will open more and some opens less. If you see under the taskmgr (manager) that depending on what ROM, it maxes out at about 3.5-3.7MB. Some ROMS are 4MB+ then it won't open anymore pages without you closing one. Believe me I've looked for MANY MANY tweaks to make this really a multitasking phone. I can careless about SMS problems and facebook apps (sorry If I offended anyone). The web is what everyone needs. So opening 2 tabs of hardcore information super highway just won't cut it for me. Let me know when you find something new!!! I also enable TURBO MODE which seem to help it abit. All cooked ROMS don't have it enabled, not sure why.
Good luck! I'll be checking this thread quite often!
I just went under the registry and saw something under HKLM/SOFTWARE/OPERA/MEMORYLIMITS which can play an important part on this...gonna try to fiddle around with it now. BE BACK!
Thanks for your tweaks. I especially like the default zoom tweak. I was looking for this, but postponed it constantly, because I don't like the hassle of blindly changing the reg. till I get what I'm looking for.
Thanks again. Keep those reg. tweaks coming!
Nice tweak. There is a noticible improvement in the fluidity of panning and zooming (with pinch).
Think I got it!
OK, i just finished tinkering with the registry and I can open up a few more tabs COMPLETELY without any errors. Pages include the webpages you mentioned, www.facebook.com (logged in and non mobile), www.lifehacker.com (non-mobile), engadget.com (full page), my ebay selling page with over 200 + items and thumbs, www.coasttocoastam.com...then i checked my CPU usage and at times it's over 50% and then up to 95%..it goes back down..so at least it's alot of improvement. Not alot of people use that many tabs and especially these heavy pages but I do need some of them. I think it works great. It hasn't crashed once so far. Need to further test it.
Really great tweaks!.. I wonder why HTC didn't include these in the first place...oh wait..this is HTC we're talking ..the same guys that couldn't work out how SMS works..
Just a question.. are those values in hexadecimal or decimal only???
OK Guys, here is a picture of my settings before I edited them. I simply multiplied them x2 for each item. Also it works better with "automatic cacheRAM" (Opera:config). Try it out and you can open almost anything (at least for everyday use). Good luck guys!
Great you guys find it useful ... I'll try and make a cab out of them
Great! thanks, I'll try those tonight and see what I get

That would be GREAT! I have learned almost everything regarding what to know about the HTC HD2, but that 'reg editing' is something I still have almost no knowledge of. Guess I should learn it... anybody have a link to a good guide on how to change these values? Yes I have searched before asking
Nice!!
Well my friend, I am happy to announce that you've nailed it I managed to open as follows:
Facebook home (fully loaded)
Google Reader with 50 Items on show (fully loaded)
Lifehacker (fully loaded)
Wikipedia English homepage (fully loaded)
Discover Windows Mobile (fully loaded)
Engadget Home (fully loaded!!)
Pocketnow (Partially loaded)
HTC (fully loaded)
Modaco (Very partly loaded)
This is exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU

[Q] Desire app customization on opendesire

Hi all!!!
I'm using the ROM opendesire 3.0.4 on my Desire, is the best I've found at the moment. I don't wanna install any "sense" ROM, but there are some app, or features from sense that are really useful.
-For example the theme or app for the PHONE, while you write the phone number you can see all the contacts that starts with the same number and you can tap on any of them directly.
I'll comment you about other app I'm interested on, but, the most important at the moment is that one, otherwise I would have a lot of comments about other less important apps.
Thank you very much and sorry for my but english.

[Q] Multiple Home Screens on Sense (like Android)?

My apologies if this has already been asked - I am sure it has but I got to page 15 of this subforum and did search but didn't see the answer.
With the new (official) ROM out I was going to upgrade but was checking compatibility with what I use and found 20quicklinks won't work; the 25quicklinks seems to have a big so only first 9 links are switchable not the remaining 16.
Then it occured to me that a feature of the wife's Desire that I like is the multiple homescreens. Is it possible to have something similar to that for Sense/HD2?
That way rather than just a screen of quicklinks, a whole screen could be devoted to different types of links - one for apps, one for games etc.
(or if not would a working 20/25 quicklinks compatible with the new Rom be possible please?!)
Thanks

Search for Cookies HomeTab (CHT).
This offers you exactly what you want and a lot more.
Current (released) version is 1.85. Once you've tried it you can't imagine to have your HD2 without it.
Version 2 is currently beta. And it offer even more possibilities.

You'll also need CHTE (Editor) to make the settings - link in the CHT thread.
And you've got to check out CHTS (Scheduler) which is as amazing as CHT itself - sheduling, profiling, layout switching, backup, etc etc etc
Okay thanks
I didn't read CHT page carefully enough as I thought it was to modify the [single] home screen.
Will read about it more.
I am concerned though about the comments that it sucks battery dry...

The battery drying, you must see it in a context.

I must be honest like lot of peoples I used CHT from the beginning and with ore without CHT the different of battery draying is 2%/day so very small influence fore me.

[Q] Why are there so few widgets for windows mobile

The past week i have been messing around a lot with my phone.
First i had Artemis with android on sd. I thought id try a nand android, but it had a less responsive screen. Also the navigation solutions are not what i am used to with igo8.
The only nice thing about android is the use of the nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on. It also has a lot off apps but most of them are useless.
I am back to win mobile but this time i am trying the energy rom
I would love to see more widgets for our Winmobile phones, so that we have best of both worlds in one package.

Have you tried cookie's home tab 2.0 yet? We already have working widgets for all those items you mentioned.. gmail, weather, sms, news and all kinds of others as well (clocks, music players, stop watches, calc's, etc..). I'd suggest searching and doing some reading first b4 posting. I look at it as we already have the best of both worlds since we can run all those other OS's with our devices. Lets see android run windows mobile and do it well.
A have been using cht for a long time now.
Energy has it baked into his rom.
Since i registered here i have been reading a lot and normally i don't ask for things.
I like to read an be a little on the background on this forum, that is why i don't have so many post counts. I was using Artemis since ver 16, almost everyday i visit this forum. I like it very much, only thing is that i can't find what i want using the search function. Often too many hits.
I think i spent about 17 hours this weekend on searching for widgets and stuff.
Sadly could not find it, that is why i posted this.
I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hey man my bad for the way that came across. I wasn't bad mouthing or saying anything negative, its just that alot of people start new threads asking questions that could easily be found/answered with a simple search. Believe me, I know how frustrating it could be to find what your looking for using the search here in the forums but thats because of all these new threads being started when the question could be asked/answered in one of many threads on similar topic. Please don't take it as I'm complaining and I certainly don't won't to detour you from posting..i'm just trying to help keep things less cluttered around here. Now anytime anyone else searches for "widgets" they'll have another thread added to the list. See what I mean?
Damn thats a long ass time..17 hours and you came up empty handed?
Here are links to all the CHT Widgets i could find. (just searched and came up with these..)
1 rat_2665's CHT 2.0 Clock Widgets

I understand what you are trying to say.
Those are the ones i also have found.
There are lots of clock widgets and a few other things.
But the widgets i have mentioned earlier......nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on..... I still can't find them except for an weather widget(which only works with a few places in Holland, and another one is the same layout as standard) And i could use the rss widget for the news.
Id love to see less clocks and more like news, gmail and that sort of stuff.
Maybe the choice of widgets is a bit smaller because the core functions of WinMo and Sense are quite strong already.
And once CHT is in action, you can make shortcuts/quicklinks to existing apps. Why bother to make a widget for something existing, it´s like re-inventing the wheel, imho.
As an example, touching the sms or mail notification, the respective app opens immediately. That´s perfect for me...
Your right it has nice features already built in but dont like the extra steps i have to make to see a list of all the mails and mark them as read.
In android i swipe to a side and i see all my mails in a list and and check the ones i would like to mark as read. I have a lot of mail traffic that is why i would love that.
The same with news, swipe the other way and have the news right on the screen.
I know that there are more ways to do the trick, but i like the way they do it in android.

I just listed close to 20 different widgets, when you said you spent 17 hrs searching to find nothing, and thats still not good enough. What did you think by starting this thread developers where going to line up here asking what you'd like? Develop them yourself if you don't like everyone else's hard work. You speak of sms and email with one swipe to the side..Those are 2 of the easiest things to set up with cht since they're default widgets.(don't have to install any additional cabs).
I thought asking would be free.
It would have been easy for you just to say that there is no such widget like i asked for.
End of discussion i'll start reading again and try not to post to much.

hey there. these posts get my blood a tad boiling. why? because xda is free and the contributors do not get paid to post. everything here is because people want to create and share. yet these threads happen and in my opinion they just seem to spit in the face of all that work. see the thing is, you didn't ask. you complained. you want nice widgets, implying the ones made for you for free were not good enough. you want less clocks and more other widgets. and you want them for free. WM has never been built on widgets; only with maxsense roms and cht can you find widgets. but yet, you want more. if you want something and it doesn't exist; make it. but really complaining in a forum where wares are made for free that there isn't enough out there is, well, rude.

hey.
so your post irkes me. at first i was going to ignore it but here i am.
you see, not only do you lessen the work of the people providing "tweaks" (like you are disdainful at people's free work) but you ignore all the fantastic work being done here and just sweep it all under the rug as being "roll overs" and "simple upgrades." really? there are a ton of apps (widgets?) in this forum and the windows mobile general forum that are fantastic...and free.
yes, free.
and provided because people want to share. nothing more.
not enough for you? start developing.
bored of all the tweaks and changing of winmo 6.5? start making some art.
what do you expect with your post? people to run to you and ask you what specific things they can make for you? how they can appease your wants? how about next time you use someone's work, say thanks or buy them a cup of coffee if you can. but don't sit there complaining that what is provided free to you is not enough.
or even better, contribute.

It was impossible for me to find better words. Thanks
I think i stepped on en few toe's here.
Just to get things straight, I really appreciate what all the devs are doing.
And as long as i cant do even a little of what they are doing, you wont hear me complaining about anything they make. I personally cant stand it when people keep nagging that something isn't right on a rom or app.
Believe me, i meant good by starting this post.
Goodbye for now.
Since CHT 2.0.0 was released there is an oportunity to add widgets in the home page of the Sense. [[ UPPPSSS !!! sorry forgot MaxSense ]]
CHT is free & open source, and all the members of the CHTgroups are kindly helping to anybpody who wants to edit, modify and create new CHT widgets. Its not so difficult as you could think initially, i tell you by experience. Just try and have fun
But sense is also more than home tab. Further the standar tabs you can add RSS tab, TV tab, FB tab, documents tab, weather tab, game15th tab, and some others i cannot remember right now.
Even WM is more than sense: titanium, SPB shell, wad, throttle launcher, and some others for sure i dont know!
Anyway i dont understand any competition between OS, I never use other than WM but frequently visit android-WP7 forums (even Iphone ) Anywhere is good for inspiration!
By now the CHT widgets list is limited. I hope that future verssions will bring more widgets. Up to now i have seen lot of PM movement, but I am sure is time to open a thread for widget makers and try to involve more friends in this job pleasure.
Enjoy yourselves!

Hey man my bad for the way that came across. I wasn't bad mouthing or saying anything negative, its just that alot of people start new threads asking questions that could easily be found/answered with a simple search. Believe me, I know how frustrating it could be to find what your looking for using the search here in the forums but thats because of all these new threads being started when the question could be asked/answered in one of many threads on similar topic. Please don't take it as I'm complaining and I certainly don't won't to detour you from posting..i'm just trying to help keep things less cluttered around here. Now anytime anyone else searches for "widgets" they'll have another thread added to the list. See what I mean?
