I have flash cm 6 and some htc sense rom before.
The main different is cm6 can be 5xx mb ram,htc sense just 43x mb ram.
Is it possible to have 5xx ram on htc sense rom?
Anyone can teach me how to delete some rubbish to increase ram?

I think you'll find the ram hog is the bling that makes up sense, you could try uninstalling all your Widgets but personally I think you have to accept sense is a ram hog.
Sense is more RAM hungry but in a device with so much RAM who really cares?

Let me rephrase that :
The memory difference between Cyanogenmod ROM and HTC Sense ROM is Sense itself. It's the Sense UI which uses memory the OP wants to get. So it's either Sense, or Cyanogenmod. There is no way to have Cyanogenmod memory usage with HTC Sense running.
Ok i want to find a fast sense 2.1 i reverted to a stock sense rom but w gb mainly b/c it allowed more memory b/c the 2.1 sense roms would leave about 430/760 some-odd mb which is not enough for my apps and moving to sd makes it harder for them to appear on the phone so i need a rom thats fast and will have much more than 430 some mb's of storage

Hi everybody, just got the HTC Desire (gsm) with Froyo 2.2 and Im looking for a clean,stable,fast rom with long battery life. It will be primarily used for calls/corporate mail (notes) and a bit of browsing. Can you recommend something since I don't have the time to test all the roms to see what would fit.
Thanks a bunch.

Stay on stock rom until you find the need...

Hello,
try this one if it is allowed:

GingerWally 1.5 - fits in Data++ partition so you have a lot more space for apps. No bloatware, you do not need ext partition and it does not support a2sd so the rom is super stable + some under the hood tweaks like edited script because of rosie restarts so no more restarts with this rom (you know when you do not have enough ram because you are multitasking and the sense interface restarts - thats because the priority is set low). For maximum stability this is the rom I will anytime suggest even over the stock rom!!

I'm also using my Desire for business (and pleasure ofcourse. ). Untill today I have been very happy with Runnymede AIO (CM7/r2 and "XADSD2X") but the last couple of days I have experienced lock-ups when receiving calls... and a lot of lag.
GingerWally sounds like the perfect ROM Thank you for your advice.
If you searching for "old" android 2.1, Leedroid 2.3d served me very well for almost a half year, so 2.5 should be even better.
You can try stock rooted gingerbread, or maybe insertcoin

+ 1 on gingerwally, sadly on the other roms the camera performs a bit better, but i switch sd-s regularly, and sense features more business features than an aosp rom.
Its like the stock rooted gb, but with more space and with some optimizations. The only thing i really miss is the 3.0 lockscreen, the best business feature is when your phone doesn't answer itself from your pocket
I was using LeeDroid HD for a long time on my work phone and it worked like a charm, i have now moved on to Runny roms and they are just as good now.

Waht are you on? Man needs stable and reliable rom which isn't going to start going crazy in the middle of a business day, and all of you start recommending Runnymede ports and hybrids? zOMG.
All I wait for is for a few of you daisies to start recommending ICS nightlies and then we have won.

Ok, so I've tried a couple sense roms on my g2 and run into a constant issue. Whenever I use the browser and switch to different app the browser closes all the windows except the last page I was on. Is this normal or is there a setting to keep all the windows open?

Thats because sense ROMs lack multitasking, multitasking uses RAM, and sense ROMs eats RAM so it eats multitasking... The only way to solve it is to make a SWAP partition on you sdcard... This makes a part of your sdcard working as RAM... Thus enabling multitasking (i made it today, works great)

I think Sense browser just discards all tabs by default, even on Sense 2.1 and 100mb+ free RAM.

i could be wrong tho

I was wondering if this happened in Virtuous Sense for you.

Riro, you really need to actually judge sense based off Sense 2.1 or Virtuous Sense. Sense 3.0 or 3.5 was never meant to be run on the g2/dz.
It's like running a computer that runs ok on windows xp but does not meet the requirement for windows 7. even if you get windows 7 on it, you wont get the experience you would have if your machine meets that spec.
I have over 100mb of ram constantly on virtuous sense and that's the standard that you need to base it off, not sense 3 or 3.5.

oops... i should have said, "sense 3.x lacks multitasking while running on our device"
EDIT: ok, i'm on virtuous sense 2, and i'm switching between the stock browser, and tapatalk... And the windows doesn't dissappear... Although i applied the v6 supercharger script... But i don't think it matters much... Maybe after partitioning the sdcard, it would solve the OP's problem... But i'm clean

Hello. I need help regarding the best ROM for my Desire Z. I need either sense 3.0 or sense 3.5 and need the best possible ram as i have already installed 4 ROMs and i have had problems with lags in messages and the lag in circle ring lock. overall homescreens as smooth but i need ram for reading msgs fast and applications launch quickly like on my default sense 2.1. i have tried runnydroid which is probably the fastest in homescreen scrolling but very weak in ram and opening apps. currently running desire HD rom with sense 3.0 v1.3 which is slightly better but i need something better in terms of RAM and with sense 3.0 or 3.5
help would be really appreciated
thanks
first of all, let's clear things out... sense 3.x was never meant to run on our desire z, i say HTC made a mistake when they released an official 3.x update
second, sense 3.x needs LOTS of ram to work. So, you don't have enough ram to run apps, solution? try the v6 supercharger script, set it as multitasking settings...
want more? make a SWAP partition on your sdcard, SWAP makes a part of your sdcard to work as ram...
want even more, you can bulletproof you messages app in order not to automatically kill it when in need of ram
i'll give you links if you want

First of all thanks for your kind replies. Riro Zizo thanks alot for these links. Can you tell me which ROM what work the best with these? the thing is that there must be a ROM which would be better in RAM performance. like my desire HD rom was better than runnydroid at least it was usable. now what do u mean by official sense 3.0 update? my last update was android 2.3.3 with 2.1 sense which is why i installed custom roms to get newer sense. thanks a lot
and blackknightavalon what do u mean by AOSP?
thanks a lot
oh one more thing. ive heard that with swap the sdcard gets a lower life and it dies quickly after a while
Android open source project. Like CyanogenMod, for example.

Same position as you on Desire Z and HAD to have Sense 3 - well after trying Unity and Affinity and another that wouldn't even boot and loads of crashes and mem issues I gave up. Yes I did the swap partition (for Leedroid/Ace but those never would install via CM recovery 5) didn't do the supercharger thing...but eventually went to G-Lite and really happy.
Sense is great but slow/laggy, even on Virtuous Sense or my stock rom...my OTA GB was slow too. Best to find or invest in a few apps or widgets and switch to a non Sense rom like G-Lite cos RAM is a real issue on the Z it seems (reason for rooting apart from the usual privacy/adware stuffs was speed, upset at seeing LOADING every time I opened my homescreen)

I agree... Sense-less ROMs are the best ones and they run the smoothest on Desire Z. I first took on CM7 and then moved to Bulletproof's MIUI which stopped me from selling my phone. However, even then the phone started to lag after a months use. Next step was to move to Elitemod244 which is basically based on CM7 but supercharged and ultra-fast. This stopped me from dumping my phone to get a Galaxy Nexus.
I would recommend that you try Elitemod244 (or the latest version if you want) and then modify it to your liking. It will take some time, but at least your phone will be fast and would work as it should instead of hanging or reloading the launcher time n time again.
thanks for your kind replies but the thing is i NEED sense 3.0 or 3.5 and i will run this desire HD rom if i dont get any other roms. ive already used cyangenmod already but i need sense. are there any roms which might be better than the desire HD rom? and im recently having an issue that i dont receive all text messages and some of these are lost in this particular rom. any way to fix this?

In that case i would go for Virtuous Sense, doesn't have to much bullsht in it..
And for the lost messages, there is standard an app installed in these roms that collects all your messages.
Btw.. I'm surfing xda for 2 years now daily, and today is the first time i made an account Really EVERYTHING about everything has been asked before i came here, so there was no need for it.
Just wanted to say this...
you can try any sense rom you want without any issues if you do all these tweaks i told you about... launcher reloads can be solved by making a file called "local.prop" in /data/ (if you already have the file, edit it) and put this inside it
Code:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
and reboot... this WILL solve your problem, GUARANTEED
Why do you need Sense that bad? We're trying to get rid of it over on the MT4GS boards.

Just curious, what do you need Sense for?
I was losing text messages also, but I solved that by preventing the messaging apk from being closed. It's a simple setting in Cyanogenmod, but I believe that is what Riro Zizo is talking about when they say Bulletproof an app.

Blackout incredible has Sense 3.6 And when I apply the v6Supercharger it works pretty fine. But remember that you need to Format your SD card before you install it. It gives you extra performance. atleast it happened to me.
I fully understand why you might want a SENSE rom.
I have tried many roms since my DZ is out of warranty, the Mimicry one was nearly the best, except it had bad performances after some weeks of usage.
And this AOSP was a android 4 rom with nice custom features, but there was a LOT i missed from SENSE. Let's just talk about the weather/clock widget, the audio player, the FM radio app, the nice interface, the perfect virtual keyboard...
Sense really offers the best user experience on that phone.
A few days ago I finally the perfect rom, you should try it: TrickDroid 4.0.0
As told in the corresponding topic on xda, you just absolutely need to enable swap because it's a full Sense 4.
And if you want some specific tweaks from AOSP, of you want to remove some things from Sense, the TrickDroid Tweaks allows you to simply do that.
