How to open apps faster - HTC Sensation

There are some apps like browser, fb, tapatalk, whatsapp, etc which I use very often.
They take from 1-3 secs to open. Is there any way to keep these apps in memory, in order to open them faster? I noticed that cached apps are mostly some apos I never use. I compare it to my iPhone which opens apps immediately. Is there any solution?
Edit: don't tell me to oc, I'm asking a different thing

What are you using for a Rom? Sense 4 Roms tend to kill background processes pretty aggressively to keep the launcher in memory.
I've noticed that if I run something like Hypernonsense Rom, apps like the ones you mentioned open much quicker than the same apps on a Sense 4 Rom. However I'm currently into Sense 4 so I'll take the extra second.

Yes see my specs. I want to know if there os a way to keep desired apps in memory. The don't even consume that much memory, max 100M. I don't want to change my ROM, not my setup

perhaps zram or swap but may end up hurting more than helping..

Zram helped when I was on Viper...
Also, Anthrax kernel was better than bricked, IMO.
CM10 is a lot better than ViperS... apps are loading faster, and things are much snappier... on default settings... try it out... but then again you seem to prefer Sense to Holo...

Oui, it does eat some more battery... but it also makes the phone very snappy.....
Anyway I use DS Battery Saver (free for XDA users)... it switches off 3G on screen off... and it has loads of other options... try it.... getting awesome standby times with it...

Download Pimp My Rom from the Play Store and go to the TOOLS tab then click on Lock Apps in Memory. You can then select which apps you want to have locked in memory.

I am just reading the sensation xe threads because I ordered it and is on the way, but currently I am using my old budget android, which had lots of lag (and one of the main reasons I actually ordered the new sensation xe).
The other day I found this thread and installed this and it is just insane at removing lag and doesn't pump up the cpu or use more battery.

The developer's reason for why it works seem to be incorrect, and other people (including android's own developers) don't know exactly why it is working either (other than it's not the reasons stated by the developer), but just about everyone agrees that whatever the reason, it does work and significantly (on any non new / top-of-the-line phone because those don't have lag anyway).

It forces the CPU to stay online and not idle because it wakes it up every second, so that's probably why there's a speed increase.

It would be a value somewhere that could be changed but will require some digging around and probably root access.
Perhaps the limitation is built into the camera app itself. Does this limitation occur with any 3rd party camera app?
This limitation has been the same for all HTC phones released in the last 12 months or so. My old Desire HD used to do the same thing when the battery was "low".
it is pretty annoying, im sure a developer will find it soon, just needs a little digging around like jivemaster said.
Yeah, it is annoying. Gotta have your battery charged in case you go out at night I guess.
oh alright then
It is very annoying for me also. I usually go out for half hour and have 30-40% battery charged so mostly it goes below 30% and not having falsh enabled is a big mess. Since I am a photography lover & I love to capture precious moments. Someone should come up with with a way around.

Have you tried disabling power saver?

I had same problem. Solution for me was upgrading to latest ROM (2.3.4 ->1.45.401.2 ) ofcourse original, HTC ROM, because I bought this phone for sense 3.0 (i don't know why people write new ROM without sense and say ... My ROM is better... There is something wrong with them...I think.. ...

Flash a custom kernel. I know faux's kernel's have lowered the limit to 10%.
Controlled by the kernel.
Some custom kernels lower the threshold (as long as power saver is off).
Check the Sensation Development section and read up on kernels.
Faux and Bricked both offer lower thresholds, I believe. Check Unity as well.
The features and changelogs will be in first or second post of Kernel thread.
P.
I think it is great idea! What if you got ALOT of stuff to backup, and flash at the same time, and suddenly the battery runs out.. Think about that.

Will putting a ROM on make this phone better?

I'm a bit unimpressed with this phone, (Sensation XE) Sense crashes often when you press the home button and goes through the process of re springing etc, If I hold the phone at the bottom cell signal disappears, if I hold it at the top wifi disappears, battery life is poor, it struggles to last a day and in general use for a phone with 1.5ghz dual core process and 768mb ram it feels sluggish for some reason, RAM is also almost full all the time even when I kill everything. I get the impression is can't handle sense 3.6, My old Desire felt much quicker, and the SGS2 blows this out of the water. I am not rooted or anything at the moment, just running ICS and 3.6, It shipped with ICS so don't know what GB was like on this device. In quadrant I can't even get 2000, most I have seen is 1900, my SGS2 gets 3200+
Would a rom make this phone better or is eBay the best option.
Fot real. Stock ICS is pretty rubbish. Stick an Anker innit and load up ARHD. If u get rid of Sense it will free up RAM. ARHD also have pption when installing to keep Launcher in Memory if RAM is maxed out.
Load up Faux, SebastianFM or, my fav, Bricked kernel to get optimized CPU processing.
This should make ur phone twice better.
Beamed from my Senny..
Stock can be a nightmare sometimes. Let it be known a few things though:
1) A new rom won't help your reception issues. Sorry
2) Quadrant scores do not reflect real-world performance and should be ignored. My Senny's faster than my friend's GNex (AOKP) and my other friend's SGSII (Stock) but the quadrant scores say otherwise.
3) The Sense launcher dying thing is always fixed when installing a custom rom. It comes from carriers (and HTC) bloating up the OS too much and the launcher being killed to keep room for applications open. Most custom roms will force the launcher in the memory, circumventing the issue.
That being said, "root it, flash it, enjoy it".
Yes! My crashing stopped never to return again after I rooted s off and installed custom rom. I am totally convinced that custom Roms can be far more stable than stock Roms! Never have I once had the restarting issue on custom rom. You will see the difference immediately.

i couldn't go back to sense.
I'm going to be the one to go against the grain here...
If you don't like a device to begin with then I don't think a new rom will make you love it. You may find it tolerable, but in the end you will most likely be dissapointed overall.
You're best off finding a device that you really like, and then improving upon it...
Grogg is likely correct, if you don't like it now, you'll probably still be unhappy with whatever you do to it. Best to sell it and get something that makes You happy. Everyone is different with different opinions and tastes . As for me, I LOVE my device and truly enjoy modifying it in different ways. I'm very interested in this kind of thing but others might see that differently.so yes It's best just to find something you like. Good luck and hope you find something your happy with!
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
Well before selling your device you loose nothing to give it a try a custom rom !
I remember i hated stock gb to death and was a little bit deceived by my purchase but i did flash a custom rom and honestly im keeping this phone until my contract ends...

Ok thought I would update this, I spent the weekend making it S-OFF and installing ORDroid 9.
The phone still feels like its struggling, Quadrant only shows slightly over 2000, the Desire HD gets higher and its single core.
WiFi reception now seems a bit better, but cell reception is still very poor, No signal most of the time at home, most other phones I've had give 2 bars min.
And battery life is still shockingly bad, 10% per hour in stand by, and in 10 mins setting it up etc I lost 10%.
Not sure what to try now, I think Sense 3.6/4 may be a factor here. The phone struggles with it.
Strange because here is my last quardent test on ordroid as you can see its in the 4,000's what kernel are you running? I'm using same Rom and look at my score? You say you scored a 2,000? This is the same Rom but twice the score? Perhaps it's the kernel? I'm running bricked kernel.no problems here in fact I'm number two in the quadrant. Not bad... [ ATTACH]1136354[/ATTACH]

Mine did get up around there when I first installed, when I put my apps on I get around 2000 now
I have numerous apps installed on mine and it still scored number two. May I ask which kernel are you running? Maybe if you changed your kernel you might be happier? Just a thought. I'm sorry your having problems. I guess I've been lucky. So far mines been running really well. I wish I could be of more help! Maybe tweak it a bit and the performance might improve for you?

Don't know what Kernel I have, I didn't change anything so just whatever came with Ordroid as standard
During installation we had choices on the Aroma installer also it asked what your goal is like performance, battery saver, ext.next time during install pay close attention to what Aroma is asking you because. It gives the ability to under or over clock ext. I just used default but I choose "bad ass " bricked kernel
Aroma gives lots of options during install and you can focus on performance if you like. Hope this helps out. If you want to reinstall you can really look at the options closely and change it to help the performance. Best of luck! Have a great day!

While OrDroid is a good and stable rom, it's not exactly the epitome of speed, no Sense 4 rom is. I recommend AOSP/CM9/AOKP if you're looking for speed.

Observation on sense 4.0.4 (cleanrom 4.5)

I have to applaud HTC for somewhat following development of their device. They added a toggle to change the behavior of the recent app button so there's no need to mod it. On CR 4.5 I also have 770mb of ram visible. Maybe they did some optimization. Even multitasking is a tad better without Scott's multitasking mod.
I have a bug that shows "G" when I'm on HSPA+ but doesn't really affect speeds.
Overall I would say this OTA is quite good. The overall feel is much snappier.
Edit: ok, so the multitasking is pretty boss so far. The last 4 apps were still cached after not touching phone for 30 minutes. It COULD be placebo but god damn I'm enjoying 4.0.4.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
I'm happy to see this review, as I'm planning on upgrading from CleanROM 4.2 to 4.5 asap. However, I'm not sure that this mini-review is so much about the newest Sense as it is about CleanROM. How can you be sure that the upgrades that you're noticing aren't from Scott's work, not baked into Sense?
The recent button behavior swap is new from stock 4.0.4. The RAM increase has to be from HTC directly because we have no kernel source.
As for multitasking, I'm doing a little bit of assuming. Scott likes to put his mods separate from the rom itself so people can choose what they like. Only EQS, 4G icon and some ATT specific mods were included in the CleanMod install. On top of that, this is the best multitasking I've seen on any rom. If Scott DID do something with the multitasking I'll be glad to be corrected.
Either way, everyone wins with this update.
EDIT: HSPA+ with 2.09 radio, I'm getting speeds I normally get on speed test. I hear people have problems with LTE? Not sure.

I used stock 2.23, I can confirm those sense options are from stock. Also, I noticed the interfacei n general is much smoother and snappier. They also added a fade effect when turning pages on the home screen which is nice.
So wait, HTC freed up about 100mb of RAM with this latest leak? That's awesome! I think I'm gonna have to update my ROM now, still on CleanROM SE 2.6.

I think that's just gravy. No 4.0.3 based rom even comes close to the multitasking that the leaked 4.0.4 has. They must have tweaked their extremely aggressive memory management to allow much better memory management. Of course YMMV, but I've just been testing it over the course of the day. Most of the apps within the first 4-5 slots can get cached no problem if you press home.
People complain, but this might be the reason why HTC have not released their kernel. HOX IS their flagship, so maybe they didn't want to release a crippled kernel for HOXL users. I'm very impressed that they are listening to community feedback.
How's battery life with the multitasking change?

Multitasking

Hello everybody
I used an apple iPhone 4s recently.
I noticed that it allows me to switch upto 8 applications without reloading them that too in a mere 512 mb ram.
But our HTC one x boasting 1gb ram allows me to switch upto 4 applications only.
I know that HTC has restricted it, and we can increase the limit unofficially.
But even then I am not sure about performance implications when we do that.
Also please let me know how much applications you can switch in Samsung galaxy s3 and Samsung galaxy nexus.

I have already mentioned the modding possibility.
But, i am not sure the performance implications of having more than 4 apps in the background.
This has been discussed a lot... Just search for the multitasking threads.
In summary, HTC imposed the limit to save battery life. Most ROM developers have removed the limit so multitasking has been fixed.

What's the point of the thread then, you don't want to root because it may have a negative impact of performance? That's usually the reason why we root. To push our device to the limit

HTC didn't limit the number of apps for the sake of battery, but more to offset the drain on memory and speed that sense causes. You have to remember that the sense framework adds a lot of things on top of the base android OS. All that extra stuff running in the background uses memory and by using somewhat harsh memory management, they can keep all sense stuff running smooth.
If you switch to one of the new builds of CM10, you will see battery life is very close to sense roms, without the horrible multitasking.

Why doesn't.HTC store the applications state as did by apple iPhone to converse the battery.

Why not HTC Sense store the background application's state?
How regularly do you multi-task with 8 apps? I use the ViperXL custom ROM and you can tweak your heart out on multi-tasking. Try it out - may be you could reach that number or greater.

[Q] ROM RAM question

Im not really sure if this is against the forum rules or not and if it is, im sorry and you can lock it. But what rom has the most ammount of free ram, i keep flashing roms and they usually have the same ammount, but maybe its just me because i always flash sense roms since i love the sense camera. Any ideas or suggestions? The main reason im looking for the most ammount of ram is i always use alot of background applications like LWP, a different launcher, weather bug, airdroid, and etc and my phone starts to bog down eventually and its quite annoying when need to reply to an email fast from my phone and the lag between the current app im in to the home screen then into the launcher and then into the app makes me want to murder my phone.

What rom do you use?
The amount of free ram available will have little to do with the performance of the rom. Typically aosp roms will have more ram available due to the lack of sense.

I assumed it was the RAM because i flashed Elemental X and overclocked it a littler and it didnt have any performance increase at all.. maybe its just my phone haha.
You could try CyanogenMod 10, it has much better multitasking then any Sense ROM, since it's a pure aosp Rom, in theory any other Aosp Roms should have more Ram available because Sense tends to bog things down with all of it's extra features and background processes that use up Ram.
So use a AOSP Rom if you want better multitasking and less things to reload or refresh.
