I had nexus s before sensation I know realize that free ram on sensation is about 120~140mb on average which is even lesser than nexus s. So it would be good idea to get more ram from camera or such as what have been done in nexus s kernel. Is this difficult to do so??

Install non-sense rom and you will get 100% more free ram.
Sense is ram killer.
Nexus s is runing pure android,thats the point.
I meant is there a dev working on the kernel to get extra ram from camera or such just like wat devs have done in nexus s lol since the sensation can only use 581mb and I didn't buy a sensation to use sense less rom

There won't be a kernel that "gets extra ram from camera". It's not needed. Also, free ram is wasted ram, plus when you open an app that needs more than 140mB, the os will close some apps until it has enough space.

Not sure why people think that more ram mean faster boot if there is ram it boot if not it has to close it clear ram then open it so more ram faster just like a pc
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
So wrong. So, horribly, wrong. Android keeps enough ram free to launch an application or two (a massive application or two) without having to close anything. You have 120MB free on average? That's plenty to launch the browser, music app, gallery, and about 4 other things before Android has to close anything at all. Free ram is wasted ram.
That "like a PC" part is also wrong. You should always have enough ram to run whatever it is you're running. If you don't have enough, you simply add more to accommodate. The only way you're really going to become faster with ram is to install faster ram (you also have to remove the slower ram because PCs run on the slowest speed available).
What I'm trying to say is that when I play a game such as drow something I sometimes click home button to go web to find out what it looks like. However, when I go back to the game, it was closed most of times. That's why I asked. Nexus s uses 402~3 ram out of 512(not sure) atm.

Maybe you can try kernel with ZRAM capability, faux123 has a good explanation on ZRAM in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216197:
ZRAM allows real-time compression of memory objects in RAM thus reducing memory pressure for the Linux kernel and can keep more apps in memory longer (more apps in RAM == better performance, less fetching from slower MMC or SDCard). Compression, however, is not Free. Some CPU cycles are required to do the compress/decompression, so there's a slight penalty for it. The original CompCache / RAMZSwap required a user space binary to control its behavior which adds additional penalty to performance, but the new version ZRAM eliminated the need for a separate dedicated daemon, thus reducing the overhead and increased performance from the old CompCache by 20%. Therefore, with the newer implementation of ZRAM interface, the performance penalty is almost negligible.
faux kernel and Bricked kernel support ZRAM capability.
Hope it helps.

Agreed. I can trim about 200MBs off Sense using Titanium Backup. Roughly 70 to 80 applications can be removed without issue. Things like HTC's GPS application (there's like 4 components), Friendstream, pre-installed Facebook garbage, Low Storage Wizard, both Sense and AOSP Setup Wizards, half of the Sense widgets, HTC Watch + widget, HTC Hub, HTC Likes, etc etc.

Do you change HTC Sensation hardware with respect to HTC Sensation XE or two mobiles have the same hardware?
Sorry for my bad english
Same hardware, higher clock for the CPU (1.5ghz vs 1.2 on regular Sensation), 4GB internal memory (vs 1GB on regular Sensation), slightly bigger battery (1730mAh) and Beats mod on the music player...
thanks, the roms of the Sensation XE can apply to my Sensation?
Dunno, XE hasn't been released yet, just announced. We'll see
Edit :
Here's some development on the matter : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261911&page=2
Both have 4GB internal storage, you just can use about 1.3GB.
Due to the fact I am happy with my Sensation and there are no real improvements (beside the cpu-clock), I wont change.
Maybe I will buy the XE cover (I like the design) or the bigger battery.
The beatsmod should be software, too - so we can wait for a custom rom.
According to official htc sensation xe page, hardware are exactly the same except for the bigger battery, red highlights back-cover and beats earphones. Oh, and faster rom.

Edit: I also see red capacitive buttons
Is this why HTC under-clocked the original Sensation, so they could release a 1.5 GHz version and say "look we made a new phone?"

Not sure if I buy that it was the battery.
1) HTC could have included a bigger battery with the original Sensation.
2) 1.5 GHz doesn't actually use that much more juice since the processor only runs at that speed under high load.

settings say 1.5GHz, but actual speed is still 1.2.
I would say both phones are the same ... but the XE-edition has a bigger battery-capacity + improved HTCMusik.apk ... oh and the phone color is red ...
You can compare it to samsung galaxy s gorgio armani .. it has just a special look
true...wish it was 1.5ghz!
get a red marker pen, buy the ear-in headphones, overclock your cpu and there you are.......sensation xe

The new RUU works with the normal sensation?i was afraid to brick my phone, so i didnt try it i guess revolutionary still works, because its the same bootloader or am i wrong? i dont want to lock myself out
It's the same phone but they dipped the metal bits in red.
what about the speaker? still dre ? .. sorry still the same as in normal Sensation?
I've got a question where i can't find the answer to when i use the search-option on this site.
I have a HTC Sensation XE, all recent updates done.
When i'm browsing the web and i push the home button i allways get "loading" on my screen. (For about 10seconds). How come the phone seems to be slow when i do that? Is it a problem with HTC Sense? Will it run faster on Go Launcher or is there an other solution for my problem? I like the apperiance of HTC Sense so would prefer to keep using it . If anyone has a solution i'll be happy to read it.
Thanks in advance
Best solution would be to flash a custom ROM or root it at least and change a line in your build prop to prevent from doing what you describe.

I think that happens when Android automatically kills HTC Sense as it needs more memory.
Using Golauncher might solve it. Or you could set the built in task killer to be more aggressive.

Depends what ROM you are using, I think on Gingerbread you could use the Spare Parts app but not sure.

To do so i must "root" the phone right ? Thanks for your reply.
No, you don't need root for the spare parts app. There should be other apps on the Market that do similar things too if Spare Parts doesn't work.

Most of the time my phone is very fast indeed
It's just when something is loading in the browser or when you're playing a game (Angry birds in this case) and i push the "home" button, than i have to wait a few seconds until the home-screen is loaded. You can also see that the clock settings (24hrs) reload at that time. (clock is displayed first in AM-PM-mode)
Greetz and thanks

Spare Parts didn't solve my problem. The white screen with HTC logo appears sometimes followed bij "loading" on the home screen.... Of anyone had an idea to solve this.... I'll be welcome to hear...
I removed antivirus app and now its seems solved
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
There is actually a thread on this because I was able to explain to the person why your phone in fact does this..
A lot of the time you will unwittingly have a few browser windows open, each page you have open roughly uses about 10-40MB of RAM depending on the rendering, flash etc.
When you hit the 'Home' button, your phone doesn't actually close the web browser. It just puts it as a background application. The chances are that your phone doesn't actually have enough RAM to switch from the Browser to Sense and so it kills sense and reloads it.
Custom ROM's do not have this problem as they have RAM optimizations, however I'm sure if I opened 5 windows and opened YouTube in every window then hit the home button, that I'd have the same problem.

With too many apps open it happens again. Must be a memory and closing sense-problem. Is there no possibility to select programs like Sense and 3g-watchdog to remain allways open? Movings apps back to internal memory seems not possible with the software I've got....
It doesn't matter where the apps are, it's just the stupid RAM.

The problem is with the RAM. HTC Sensation comes with 768mb of RAM. But the task manager is showing 563mb. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my phone? where is the rest of 205mb of ram?
Thanks in anticipation.

nothing is wrong with your phone. everyones does that. the ram you do not see is dedicated to other processes your phone needs to run.

I'm using Sony Xperia S LT26i n my fd is using HTC Sensation XE.
My phone equipped more RAM than his phone n his phone has much more apps n widgets than me.
But the problems are, his XE has less free RAM n free storage than my S, but mine runs much much slower n laggy than his...
I really don't quite understand, r HTC sense really that smooth?
Almost every tech specs(chipset, GPU, CPU) on the HTC Sensation XE r identical to Sony Xperia S, except for RAM, but XE got less...
Strange...
Conditions:
Both running on stock 4.0.4 ICS ROM n stock launcher.
My S has 3 widgets, 380 apps n all 5 homescreens r full.
His XE has 10 widgets, 450 apps n all 7 homescreens r full.
My S used to had 200MB free RAM, 1.8GB free Phone Memory n 2GB free Internal Storage.
His XE used to had 160MB free RAM, 1.5GB free Phone Memory n 1.2GB free SDHC Card Storage.
HTC's aim with Sense was to make it as smooth as possible, so..
Being fair to HTC they did a decent job with Sense on their ICS ROMs
450 apps? Damn
