Seems pretty cool. But very slow... Takes forces to load and download. Anyone else having problems?

I just installed about half hour ago and I have to say it's fantastic! Google is on UI TEAR right now #winning.
I really like how they condensed the app list into two columns and made each smaller. It now shows 14 apps per page on my Sensation where the old Market only showed like 5 or 6. Makes scrolling through content much faster.
I also really like the additions of the "Top Grossing", "Top New Paid", "Top New Free", and "Trending" categories. Will make app discovery much more useful!
My only gripe is that it doesn't show the file size for an app UNTIL you start downloading. This is info that needs to stay up front!
I agree with just about everything you said. They did great with the new market. So you are not. Having the same speed issues as me?

Oops I left that part out. It IS a lil slow compared to the old market, little lag but nothing too crazy. I think mostly b/c there is much more info on each page now and the way it loads the thumbnails/images, even though they are smaller. I'm sure they will iron it out quickly though
Google did an amazing job.
It looks so clean and beautiful, everything is organized better, etc. And I'm not having the slow loads or anything that you are having. It's actually faster. With the old market you would click download and it would take a second or 2 to start, but on this new market I click download and it's literally instant. I love it.
It actually looks like a market that should be on a high end OS/phone, unlike the old market.
Slow for me as well. It'll take a while to get used to the new format, but so far so good.
Has anyobdy tried a movie yet? Quality?
Also the new widget... All I get is an icon with black. And grey backround. Same for everybody else?

Nope, my widget is working perfect too.
Where did you download from? I downloaded from the link on the androidcentral.com article.
Working well for me. A little slow on first use then it clears right up.
Got my apk from the link on Engadget article.

just trying it out too -- its pretty slick. The front page is a little busy perhaps, but overall its great.
I'm liking it as well.
Installed it earlier.. Love it!!
new market is slick as hell. I love it. I don't really notice too much of a lag compared to the old market, which I hated in the first place especially in landscape mode. The new one looks more sophisticated.
fyi, in case nobody caught on, when you hit the menu button and go into setting while in the market, you can deselect "recieve interest based ads". I don't know if that had anything to do with it but I really don't have any lag. Also, I pulled the battery right after I installed it so some of you guys might wanna try that too.
Everything opens up instantly now...it's faster than my buddies g2x.
I'm sure most of you already know that animations and eye candy are what slow this phone down. Using launcherpro makes it faster (blocking most of the sense stuff/animations), but it still wasn't quite fast enough. Then I went to settings, display, turned off all animations, and now it's blazing fast. Opens up most things instantly. I love it.

Probably apps would open just before you hit the shortcut...
With custom roms I'm guessing an app will open right as you just start thinking about opening it. Makes sense.

I'm running the same setup and its fast. Try getting spare parts from the market and turn everything to fast and it will fly even more!
I dont know, I tried disabling animations in the settings but I still got a bunch of HTC animations. To me, LauncherPro seems a lot smoother on my Nexus One (unrooted, stock, etc...)
I run the same setup on my phone too, i have with all my phones, When i got the cliq it was the slowest phone ever and i used launcher pro which made it somewhat faster lol.
woa! snappy! thx!
Only thing I didn't like about Launcher Pro was the wallpaper cropping. Installed Wallpaper Wizardrii and setup is exactly how I've been wanting.
Thanks.
It really does seem snappy. And the lag when opening launcher pros app drawer has disappeared aswell!

Try ADW Launcher (I use EX) with the same settings. I find it to be just as snappy however much more feature rich than launcherpro.
I'm just drooling waiting for CM7...

ADW EX on its "Fast" setting is quicker and smoother than LP. I have tried all of the launchers in the market and ADW is the quickest as long as you use the right settings. Plus ADW has more customization options than LP. Your right though. When used with a Launcher, it does become faster than the G2X.

Anyone else seeing two processes called android.process.acore using very high CPU when LauncherPro is installed?
I've done some Google research, tried all the supposed fixes I can find, including uninstall/reinstall, and no luck.
Posts on the LauncherPro forum confirm the issue, and many have ended up uninstalling it.
So, if your battery life suffers, check running processes to see if this is the culprit.
Just released on Play Store today. Go try it now!! Replaced stock browser and Chrome for me personally. Butter smooth and fast. Love it.

it would be great if i still used firefox on my desktop for syncing but i'm a chrome user and that makes the chrome beta better for me since that also syncs with desktop version.
Thanks for the notice. I've been on the FF beta and have been disappointed. Have found Chrome way better/faster.
Off to try the new version!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
have to admit, so far the ff is winning in my books. I'm posting this on this and it is fluid, not bouncing, flash works great so far. bookmark syncing isnt a deal breaker for me anymore since i hardly use my laptop sxcept for using adb or other flashing tools. rendered the xda main list in a fraction of the time and with way less stutter than most browsers. happy doaner!
I wish this came out six months ago as I'm using Chrome across all my devices.
only using for a few hours so far, but loving it on my one x

you can move the screen around with 2 fingers
It's definitely a great improvement over what I remember FF being on my old phone. Looks very promising for being beta. I am definitely a Firefox guy though so I am a bit biased.
However, if I am being honest I would say so far Chrome seems to be much more optimized on the HOX. All the stylistic and design choices I've encountered so far seem to have been made with Android (ICS) in mind from the start.
With the FF browser the vibe I get is quite the opposite: that they wanted to have traditional FF on an Android device.
Haven't had a chance to really test things like speed/memory performance yet. Looking good though.
I agree with the OP, the new FF beta is fantastic. Kind of shockingly so.
Loading sites The Verge and Engadget it performs better than any mobile browser I've used and that includes Safari.
Definitely an improvement over the original FF, but if you want speed check out Quick ICS Browser. It's my default on both the HOX and GTab.
Good news is that after spending over a week or so digging into the framework to see what changes HTC did, I managed to undo some of the mods that HTC did, like kill(hibernate) the previous app after x mins, so now multitasking works for the most part like it should. I just now need to free up some more memory to able to run more apps simultaneously even tho I'm running the bare minimum for memfree settings
Goooooood wooooork

Hi all
I'm very torn as to which ROM I stay on.
I've been switching between Viper ROM & CM10. Both are awesome ROMs but I can't decide which I prefer more.
I really like the integration that sense gives you over AOSP but can't get away from the fact that CM 10 is giving amazing battery life.
If anyone can steer me in any direction I'd appreciate it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Im on jb because its smooth and stable.
Sense has great options. But so does cmx
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Nobody can really make the descision for you. You need to decide which is more important for you, good intergration of apps, or better battery life? After that, it's an easy choice to make.
I really like both for those reasons, back on viper again now will probably check CMX soon
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
why not just keep both on your phone and change to which ever one you fancy with boot manager................sudeki300
Go with one and commit to it. It's like when you're dating two girls at once, and they're both great, but eventually you have to pick one or the other. You're playing with their emotions. Do you want the bust y blonde in sense, or the amazing personality brunette with maybe some aesthetic flaws? You just have to tell one to take a hike and go all in with the other. Pimp out CM10, enjoy Sense 4s beauty, whatever.
For me, I'm a CM10 guy even though sense is much better for organizational purposes right of the bat. But the thing is, I can organize just fine with CM10, just takes a little more customization.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
That's a fantastic way to put it. I'm going to try CMX and few different launches, any recommend launches, reading loads of post but personal experience is alway more valuable
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I stick with Sense because Wifi-calling is a must for me, but if cm10 had that, I would definitely head in that direction.
Decided to go with CM10 for now.

The deal breaker for me is wifi-calling. When that exists on jellybean, then I will switch.

what do you like about sense so much? the camera app?
I'm on Sense 4 and I don't plan on going to JB unless we get an official kernel or ffc is fixed.
My memory card have 15gb of full hd songs...so sense is good for me because playback of some codec in every player sucks in cmx....And the customization of viper also attracts me...so am in viper

Sense just feels more fluid and connected. For example, clock weather widget, tap on the time and it takes you straight to alarm clock,timer,stop watch. Tap the weather and you get the forecast.
To achieve the same on an AOSP Rom, needed to find a clock widget (fancy sense) then a timer and stop watch app, then a weather app and then set the widget up to open the secondary apps.

for me its the whole UI, to me it just looks good and feels fluid and fast to use. Tbh I dont use camera app at all, if I want to take a photo, I have a dedicated camera...
My whole life I've used AOSP until about 2 months ago. With sense I feel the phone is just more intact, by that I mean stuff just works. Like the kernel has no hacks or whatever, all the libs are there, all the kernel codes, hardware and software seem to cooperate more. I personally feel the sensation was meant to run sense, despite not liking the aesthetic look, everything is fluid and works wonderful
