[Q] Can custom roms fix the multitasking? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Self explanatory.
Seems silly, but a custom rom CAN fix this can't it? Since I'm hearing many people say to root, and freeze sense while using another launcher. Does that actually work? And if not, does or can a custom rom one? I'm coming from a GS2 which did it by default so I never noticed this as a feature that needed to be "fixed" before so I don't know what the limitations are in creating it.

Freezing Sense will help alleviate the symptoms of the problem, but it will still exist. The general consensus seems to be that it's probably at the kernel level, so custom kernels, not roms, could fix it. And there are a few hurdles we have to overcome before that'll happen.

Supposedly apps that allow you to adjust min free make it better but root is required. I'm playing with minfree manager myself

I think I understand what the multitasking "bug" entails. But, in layman's terms is it simply something in OS or kernel which kills off running background processes w/o prompting the user?
For instance, i use google music a lot to stream music in the background. If i'm using the messaging app or other apps, could my music app die as a result of this "feature" even though i want everything to keep running?

To answer your question, yes a custom can fix the multitasking to the way it's supposed to be.

Sense keeps restarting after every app closure

Hi all,
Does anyone else have a problem with sense keep restarting everytime they close an application? It keeps going to the white screen with HTC on and loading sense again. I have tried closing any open apps and system processes but it doesn't seem to sort the issue
Any ideas would be brilliant guys
Thanks

Not every application but it Does happen here
I got so sick of that.. Decided to use Go launcher EX and now the phone is quick and responsive. No white screen and spinning wheel.
Keeps happening with me... Espically after i do browsing using mozilla firefox

Same here I also have the same issue..any solution?other then go launcher.

nothing you can do about it really.. sense is killed off while running certain apps, probably those that are more memory intensive to free up enough ram. Then after closing those apps it has to reload.
Rosie on the stock Rom isn't forced to stay in memory, so it can get killed when you are out of Ram. I'm pretty sure some custom Roms are forcing it to stay in memory, and that helped me while I was still using the stock home screen.
Reason I went with LPP. That's the only hassle with a device with it's own memory management.
Same problem here...
Does anyone have an idea?

I went with Launcher Pro Plus here too. I love the Sense launcher more than anything, but the constant reloading just got to be too much. Hopefully HTC can release an update to fix it.
yeh, this is really starting to pi$$ me off now and i thought this phone was suppose to be the flagship launch for htc and something like this is totally ruining it for me
I've only had that happen very infrequently regardless of rom. One thing to keep in mind is that its not entirely HTC's fault. If rosie relaunches after you close an app then the app you were running was possibly poorly coded allowing its RAM usage to run out of control (with the exception of apps that just need that much RAM).

I also experience this annoying thing. And I also think its related to the lack of free RAM and android having to kill sense to free up some RAM.
This is totally HTCs fault!! its obvious that the amount of RAM on this supposedly flagship device isn't enough to handle the new sense. I've never seen something like this on my desirehd and I use the same apps on both devices...
The only thing i can recommend is to install custom rom. I had this problem too but after installing custom rom (which has some RAM optimalization) my problem was solved

So hardware manufacturers are supposed to throw in gobs of RAM to account for poor coding by third party developers and drive up their costs in the process? They have no way of knowing what apps you'll run and if they work properly.
I'm not sure of the technical terminology but basically it comes down to this: when apps are backgrounded they are supposed to enter a dormant state except for apps that utilize background updates or have some other specific need to maintain an active state while backgrounded. When dormant, they can freely be killed to free up RAM. Background apps holding an active state are only killed when there are no dormant apps that can be killed. The problem occurs when too many background apps hold an active state for no reason. This forces the OS to start killing active apps like rosie. The OS doesn't know how important your active apps are but it knows that rosie isn't that important in the whole scheme of things. The problem can also occur when an app's RAM needs are high or are allowed to climb out of control. In that case, killing all the dormant apps might not be enough to meet the app's RAM needs.
When an app on your pc has a RAM leak and its RAM usage climbs uncontrolled until your pc crashes, do you blame the pc manufacturer for not equipping it with enough RAM?

I was experiencing this a lot when I was on stock ROM.
I want to join the argument for custom ROMs. Ever since flashing LeeDroid I have not experienced this at all.
Another vote here for a custom ROM. When I was on stock ROM it happened to me a lot, especially when exiting FireFox. Haven't had any of that madness since I started flashing custom ROMs.
Same issue here and it's starting to make me want to go back to my HTC HD 2 which had none of these issues :-\
I was having the exact problem ! BUT I found the reason --> 'spare parts' If u have this sw installed in your phone u have 2 options:
1. Set activity/process management to NORMAL instead of aggressive
2. Just uninstall the SW if u really no need it
See U !

Can you tell me the benefit or the main reason(s) why you rooted your Inspire?
My main reasons are the ability to change whatever I want. And better battery life.

Yes I searched. There are no search words that will return results showing specific reasons why a member prefers a custom rom over the stock rom. In older devices a custom ROM would allow you to tether for free, remove bloatware to make room for 3rd party applications, remove buggy 2nd party software, remove unnecessary apps to allow the system to run faster, allow the customization of the UI when it was otherwise un-modifiable or fix glitches that made it through testing on the stock ROM but that doesn't seem to be needed on the Inspire. This is the first device I haven't hacked because so far it seems to be unnecessary. I could read custom ROM threads all day but finding a post where a user cited an issue relieved by using a custom ROM or a major benefit (that's not a trivial figment of their imagination) would be one heck of a needle in a haystack search. So it would be great to get this specific info into a thread.

wait, what? All the things you just said that aren't needed in the stock rom without rooting are actually all reasons why people root the inspire. If you have found another way to remove bloatware without rooting please pass on that information so that those who simply rooted to remove the bloatware can do so without having to go through the entire rooting process. Without rooting you there are a lot of helpful apps you can't run, you can't remove bloatware, you really can't customize anything significant in the UI..I mean really the only reason why I rooted was to remove the pesky bloatware (sorry I just hate looking at blockbuster apps and that stupid teeter game)...the added bonuses of full customization in AOSP roms and the ability to have the performance tweaks in every other rom/kernel just made the decision easier. If you like the stock rom and see nothing wrong..keep on moving, no reason to fix something that isn't broke...I just like having full control over my device..it's for some, it's not for everyone..just my .02 cents

Thanks, I agree. I hate seeing the blockbuster app. I actually went looking for an Obfuscate app to hide it. We use to have to remove the bloatware to make room for 3rd party apps because there was limited ROM. Meaning back in the day we got '32 megs, 64 megs' whatever for apps we wanted so we had to remove bloatware. Its not the issue it once was because now we get 1Gb, 2GB...... The reason I'm asking is because I was thinking of rooting so I could tether reverse wifi. So i'm looking for reasons to take the plunge.
rooting my inspire has made it like a completely different phone. actually, each custom rom is almost a new device itself.
but as far as perks, i like the better battery life, full customization, speed increases (data, smoothness, overclocking, etc.), constant updates, and just the joy of trying out different roms. the definite BEST perk of them all is the simple fact that you can find support for each rom from their respectful devs (not all, but the majority of the popular roms out there). HTC and the various service providers always have terrible support.

Yeah man, the droid milestone (the first smartphone from HTC that I remember having) was awesome in regards to bloatware. I was able to remove pretty much anything I wanted, not the case now unfortunately . Pretty much the benefits of rooting are that you get full control of your device, in pretty much every aspect. As for tethering, I'm not 100% that its supported in every ROM but I'm pretty sure there are some out there, if that's what your immediate reason for rooting is I would say start asking in the Q&A in each ROM or hopefully someone else can chime in to help you out. Like I said I rooted to get rid of the dumb bloatware, getting the performance tweaks, battery life, and customization (for most roms but more so in the AOSP ROMs) were just added bonuses
Take control of your device. Imagine being locked out of the C: drive on your computer.

Oh just root it already! When you use the Ace hack kit, you can't even tell it's rooted. If you like it just the way it is you can keep it that way. If you don't, try some different ROMs. You can always flash the stock ROM back (or restore it if you backed it up).
If you don't have a huge desire to root, it may not be the thing for you. I'd still recommend rooting though, you wouldn't regret it.

Opinions; Back up stock / Flash Custom ROM

Before we get started, im looking for opinions more than help here, feel free.
Everyone says the choice of ROM is about personal preference & not so much performance.
From what i read its 50/50.
I run a stock ROM 4.0.3 HTC One XL (Telstra) with Sense 4.0
- unlocked
- rooted
- TWRP (clockworkmod didnt work)
I've narrowed my choices for a custom ROM down to
- MIUI
- CleanROM
- ViperXL
Im not exactly sure how to go about the backup of the stock ROM.
Coming from iOS, backing up the stock version meant simply keeping a copy of the original firmware.
I have installed
- Titanium Backup
- ROM manager
- Root explorer
Im not sure what other details are relevant, im new to android.
I want the end result to be efficient, at the moment im chewing through battery., and experiencing lag.
I want to be able set individual app permissions as at present i have processes chewing data that shouldnt be.
I want the ability to customize my UI, i change my mind every day.
I dont want bugs and i dont like it when things dont work the way they should.
Im not fussed with keeping anything of sense other than
- camera
- beats
I have found one helpful tutorial on backing up stock, but it uses clockworkmod in the example, i dont.
The others are all fairly non descript; "first back up, then flash"
I loved my jailbroken iPhone 4S and spent quite a deal of time getting to know it and customize it.
I want to do the same here but i dont want to screw it up.
The difference between the two, is that after all of my messing about, things on my iPhone worked the way i wanted them to.
Everything i have done so far on the one XL seems to come at the cost of performance.
I've held off for weeks trying to educate myself, but am growing impatient with my phones performance.
Feel free to share your opinions, and any good tutorials i might have missed.
Back up with TWRP (boot into recovery and choose backup). As for the ROM, look at the roms forums and choose the one you think fits your needs. I am running viper, very customizable and I personally have no issues. I am also running the 2.29 radio an battery has been great.

do you have issues with performance or stability? i usually worry about the latter.
try to find the bug reports for the ROMs you're looking at. the JB ROMs are a lot less stable at this point, but it's fun to participate with development!

Stability is obviously a real concern.
But performance is equally weighted.
I dont think we should have to trade on for the other.
I been reading the bug reports, its the reason i'm still on stock.
5 - 10 years ago i'd be all into development.
Adulthood sux. I get to play with my phone for like an hour a day.
i understand that! originally i rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then flashed the safe 2.20 build that's around here somewhere. pretty basic and bug-free!
now i'm running the CNA ROM and there are some issues, but i have a little time on my hands at the moment to work around them. jellybean is cool, though!
i like ROMs that are simpler- i don't care to delve into GUI tweaks or crazy hacks. just want to get rid of the bloat and set things up the way i like.
i'm curious, though... have you had performance issues?

- 2.20 was ICS i take it?
- CNA???
- same, i want rid of bloat, and i want the freedom to set it up the way i like it.
- yeah i think i have, whether theyre any different to what the majority experience im not sure.
I unlocked, rooted, and started researching custom ROMs, until then i began customizing as much as i can;
- launcher
- lock screen
- widgets
- dock
- music player
- browser
Installed & deleted more apps than i care to think about in a process of trial and error.
When i had a setup that was almost what i want, i kept it and got rid of the rest, but;
- screen transitions are now not as smooth as stock.
- exiting apps or waking from sleep sometimes causes the whole screen to get retarded for a bit before the launcher loads everything.
- battery life is a major issue.
- data usage from apps that should be using it is also a problem.

- yeah, 2.20 is ICS. from what i gather, most JB ROMs right now still haven't got the kinks worked out of them because devs don't have HTC source code to pull from. could be wrong on that one.
- CNA = codename android. i'm using it right now. i like it and there are no dealbreaker bugs for me.
- sounds like me. i had a really old galaxy S1 that got realllllyyy slow in its old age. it's a balancing thing, i guess; some apps just have sloppy coding. i think launchers and their settings do make quite the difference in some cases, though.

Sweet, taking a look now. Tidy download, about the smallest ive seen.
Yeah i can understand an old phone getting slow and laggy in its old age.
I've had the HOXL for about a month.
Hoping a clean custom and minimal messing about with additional apps will fix it now that i have an idea where im headed.
Cheers for the input.

Must go faster

I first apologize, I don't have much free time to search and I'm sure this has been addressed before. I also apologize for the length of this post.
My phone should be running faster. I experience force closes on htc sense quite frequently. My messages take almost 20-30 seconds to send, making it especially frustrating when I swype a wrong word that completely changes the context of a text and I have to send a correction text but can't before I get one back, further slowing my phone.
There are a bunch of bloatware apps that I rarely or never use, such as qik, wifi calling, facebook, etc; running in the background which I would love to disable or remove but don't have permissions to do so.
If it were possible to get a version of htc sense or similar that's stable, I'd love that.
Anyway. I know much of what I want to do requires that I root my phone, but this is >the< place where the geniuses reside, and I was hoping that I could get some advice and some direction. Is it possible to free up memory without rooting? if not, is there a guide written for this specific phone?
Or, is there another phone out there which has a touch pad and physical qwerty, an amazing camera and the other bonuses this phone came with?
Thank you in advance

S-Off, unlock your phone, then flash Miktouch 0.7 ROM. It is debloated and tweaked, but still based on the latest stock ROM (1.63.531.2) so everything works like it is supposed to work, still has the amazing camera, wifi, bluetooth. And it is fast and very battery efficient. Instructions for S-Off and unlocking are readily available in these forums, it is a relatively easy task.

Sent from Spaceball One.
The last two paragraphs seem to indicate that you are not rooted. The steps you can take without root and the willingness to flash new ROMs are quite limited. Mainly stuff like dumping all apps that run in the background and stuff like that.
New ROMs will open performance options that unrooted stock couldn't approach.
MikTouch 0.7 will be a good start for you. It allows a decent OC with a kernel flash (1.5gHz gives a healthy boost and is nice and safe).
The best advice I can give is read, read, read. Start with the MikTouch or BulletProof threads.
I used to be a die hard Sense fan. I have been running CM9 for the past 8 or so months and rarely go back now...
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Does disabling unwanted stuff really help?

I tried disabling some of the bloat like S-health, weather daemon, Galaxy Apps etc but haven't seen any difference in battery life as such compared to running stock out of the box. What are you guys doing?
Ram isn't an issue because most of the bloat doesn't show up in the running apps unless you specifically launch it.
I no longer seem to have the time to tinker with these phones the way I did all the way from the S1-5.... The phone runs exactly the same way without doing any of the disabling atleast in my opinion. Would appreciate any thoughts..

Ya know, I have wondered in the past about this. Especially when TW won't let me disable something. If I root and disable it, will that actually slow me down? (Because TW is looking for it.) I know the XDA "party-line" is that it does help, but I remain doubtful. I can't tell you how many times I have run debloated Roms only to return to Stock and be surprised by how smooth it is... I will still root eventually though to get rid of certain nags...But I wonder.
