Sense UI 3.0 port

I know there are a lot of ports from the G2/DZ roms. I was wondering if any devs are planning on porting this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13547512#post13547512
I think it will be a nice addition over here to keep things going...

I think we'll have kernel problems, but that would be awesome. Apparently the Desire Z Gingerbread kernel works well on the G2, but the Desire HD Gingerbread kernel does not work well on the MT4G. I wonder why.

There is a sense 3.0 port

Yeah, I would think porting a fully functioning Sense 3.0 rom would be at the top of the devs' lists right now. It's hot, it's new, and whomever brings us the first working version will be heralded as the "dev of the hour" - and receive endless thanks from us flashers!
I, for one, know that if/when this becomes available, it'll finally make me flash back from AOSP.

There is one about 95% functional....thats a secret though.

I'm workin' on porting it right now and will post a link up in Dev section hopefully before the end of the night. keep in mind it'll be an alpha release and will most likely be some bugs to work out. Basically this is a coming soon post
EDIT: Not releasing on here due to not wanting the dev section to be filled with these

That's one thing listed as not working.. I'm probably going to be using rafyvitto's port as a base.

the fusion rom has the lock screen aps working.

[MOD - 6/27] Multitasking Mod *v2* - Improve Multitasking Performance

It should improve multitasking performance on any 1.88 Based ROM. It would prolly work on just about any ROM base but TBH but I have only tried it on the 1.88 base.
Version 2 - 6/27/2012
This new version incorporates the values suggested by Calkulin.
You do not need to revert with undo.zip first. You can just flash this over.
Although I have not had time to test this mod in depth I believe it will outperform V1 now knowing what Calkulin has taught!

Version 1
I simply removed these lines from the sh script. Nothing else was touched. The red line is for our device.
Code:
echo "0,2,4,7,9,12" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
case "$hardware" in "elite")
[B][I][COLOR="Red"]echo "7746,9720,11694,13742,15715,24709" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree[/COLOR][/I][/B]
;;
esac
case "$hardware" in "ville")
echo "7946,9953,11960,14008,16015,25108" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
;;
esac
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have also included an "Undo" zip to replace the .sh file with an original untouched file straight from the stock ROM. You may want to back yours up manually. The file is located in /system/etc/.
You may want to check with your favorite ROM Dev to ensure this mod will not over write any tweaks they have placed in the ROM. This will work on any CleanROM 3.x version.
Needless to say this mod will not make your phone handle 1,000 apps simultaneously but it will allow Android to handle the memory as it would on any other phone without any modifications from HTC.
Hit Thanks!

You might want to hold on that. The mod improves the multitasking functionality by a bit, but not significantly.
Previously, before this mod, only the last used app will be cached in memory at most. With this mod, I can cache more apps in memory (depends on the apps opened and cached). So far, once the app is 4th place and beyond, the memory is immediately cleared. I'm using it with Kobra rom, but I look forward to Scott's new update to see if multitasking will be improved significantly. I'll be testing it more in the afternoon when I have more time.
Still very useful if you're flipping back and forth between 2 apps and a big thanks like Scott for making for making this mod.

I can cache more then that,
Edit I opened a lot of apps and most of them can be cached, the only apps that didn't stay in memory were Facebook and Instagram and that's only because they were coded that way(I think)
Facebook is different because if I cache on news feed it'll redraw but when viewing a picture it'll remain frozen in time.
This mod is fo weal fo weal

My record was 5, 6 if you count lbe privacy guard.

Edit: sorry to keep spamming your thread Scott but I just wanted to say that this mod plus cleanRom dev edition.. is pure win. All the function I really want from sense and not a lick more (maybe that's why my apps cache lol). Plus I don't have to add all my usual favorite tweaks (gradient, themes, etc) all I add to this is the hd YouTube and a little tinkering with cpueditor and I'm cooking bacon.
Beer will be heading your way in short time in the form of a PayPal notification, thank you sir

I ll give it a try! Thanks

Thank you Scott, will try this with CleanROM tonight!

Thanks for the mod! I actually edited the sh file on cleanrom 2.6 se and it's working great (didn't want to flash your zip in case the script file from 1.88 is different than the one in 1.85).
Multitasking is noticeably better.

Interested to hear from more people on how well the phone runs with this. I was under the impression that sense is a resource hog and robs ram to run smooth. Allocating more to apps, affected at all ?

I haven't noticed any difference at all in the Modaco ROM. I'll probably jump back to CleanROM when 3.1 is out to compare.

I'm able so far to cache 4 and then the 5th gets cleared.

ok so this works awesome
multitasking is actually useful now
even if it's only 3 or 4 apps, that makes a world of difference from how it was

UPDATE: After applying this mod, I then reduced my "minfree" values to 20/22/24MB, and the multitasking is pretty amazing now.

can i install this mod in miui v4?.I think it is based on 1.73

Can multitasking be fixed?

Will the developers be able to fix up the mess that HTC made of multitasking on this phone once the kernel source is released? It is the one thing that is making me want to return this phone.

neither of those are complete, not daily drivers as of yet, need source then they will be great alternatives.
As far as fixing the MT issue, hard to say. I'd say that once we get source that someone will be able to do something with it ..hopefully..

I'm using cm9 alpha 4 and the multitasking is very improved. I'm impressed with this ROM for not having kernel source everything is very smooth.

Basically every custom rom has multitasking fixed, and there's also scroslers multitasking mod, as someone already mentioned.

AOKP is actually pretty complete and stable. NFC isn't working among other small things, but its a definitely good daily driver.

I'd say AOPK (M6.1) is just fine as a daily driver. It's stable and everything important works. (wifi,data,bluetooth,etc). Multitasking is great on it.

Has it really been fixed or just improved? Does it still kill an app after a certain amount of time? I was under the impression that multitasking was just improved greatly, and only greatly depending on your usage. Works well for some scenarios and not at all for others... Android is killing apps after a certain amount of time no matter what. Probably fixable completely after source though..

Yup. Its almost there but a few of the bugs are big ones depending on your usage/needs. And Congratulations on your daughter I also imagine burst mode comes in handy for all of those baby facial expressions not yet available in aokp is it?

Thanks, and burst is not, and it does come in very handy. Once the coredroid tweaks get put in sense roms it will be similar to aokp customization wise.

Using the Multitasking Mod is an improvement, but by no means fixed. Read up on another thread that the S4 SOC is a little memory hungry too. Hopefully we can claw back some of that RAM while still keeping things stable once the source is released (damn you AT&T).

I realize there are things that still don't work but I have always been under the impression that to be considered a daily drive a ROM must be stable and have mostly everything working. AOKP fits that category. Of course if there is a feature not yet working that is important to an individual then the ROM is not yet ready for that person but in any case when all major functions are working as well as the majority of features I'd say it can be called a daily driver. Wasn't trying to call you out.

I didn't mean anything by that, I always interpreted daily driver as an opinion type thing like it's my daily driver. I was only posting it to let others know what doesn't work, in case burst, and camcorder are important to people. No hard feelings.

Sense 4 or JB

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.

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.

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

I stick with Sense because Wifi-calling is a must for me, but if cm10 had that, I would definitely head in that direction.

I'm on Sense 4 and I don't plan on going to JB unless we get an official kernel or ffc is fixed.

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
