A dev knows as TripNRaver has ported cm9 to it, he says it is fully functional but he is banned from XDA.
On his twitter says he will be posting screens in a few hours

yes apex doesnt need root, runs at flawless 60fps
reboot once apex is default and sense will load less in the background

Good! Sorry im a bit snappy im tired . No i think hes planning to release somewhere else, modaco probably. Yeah i saw this aswell, knowing him he will have a fix though, it may even be an option in CM9 to have tablet UI or not
phone is not finished yet.. it was released so soon only because of MWC in Barcelona. Give it few weeks and phone will be probably best on market (fck i hate samsung)

This is interesting. I am still stock but this is the smoothest Sense out of the box for me.
Are you rooted? If yes, did you port stuff from your phone? This would create problems especially switching from another version of Android.
If you aren't, it could be stuff that you have installed also.
Just a guess.
Could you specify where you get lags? I didn't really notice any lags. There are slight delays sometime (for example when you open the clock (defaults to world time, which sucks)) but that's to be expected. Other than that it seems very smooth to me.
You can download Apex or Nova Launcher from Play store and you don't have to have root. I prefer Apex because it just fels more smooth and has more options. And who thinks that Sense is not lagging should give Apex a try and than compare yourself
By the way Sense gets disabled by itself if you set Apex as default launcher. That's a 100 MB pure win on RAM.
Just by scrolling between homescreens, i only have clock/weather widget and contacts widget and calendar widget + some icons on my homescreens. Sometimes it runs totally smooth, and sometimes it lags when scrolling to the next screen.

I have gone from 2.1 to 4.0, in between using all kinds of launcher.
It's true in the earlier version the difference can be quite obvious. But I don't think so for 4.0. Sense may be slower, may be not. It is no longer obvious.
But I don't use fancy background, just a static picture. And I always turn off animation.
The OP is talking about smoothness and not response which I agree that sometimes sense causes some delay. But that split ms is harmless to me. I am not going anywhere in that time span anyway. But for the OP to notice such a difference is abnormal.
Apex launcher made me love and buy the device again lol
Sense fan since the early days, but not 4.0 i don't like the taste or will tolerate the lagginess on a quad core hot chip

With all due respect how can you honestly be okay with a half-baked phone? I am a galaxy SII owner and I've had my HTC one X for one day. I love the phone but sense still appears to be more of a memory hog and hindrance than anything else.
I know lots of people who are happy with SGSII's because the software largely functions as its supposed too (I still put vanilla ROM on it because touchwhizz is ugly) but I am already experiencing my htc rebooting the launcher everytime I press home after opening a few apps.. I also noticed that something like 650mb of the 1gb ram is being used when I turn the phone on... Sense is seriously a memory hog. Multitasking doesn't appear to be functioning how I'm used to on the S2. HTC should make sure they iron out kinks like this before they rush to market, after-all their USP is the software...
Even before I received my HTC one X i was reading weekly about bugs and problems people were having with it, which unnerved me a bit.
Thing is, I actually like some elements of sense and it's a vast improvement from my desire but the fact is I can see sense really dragging the performance down over the life of the handset. Even if I use Apex launcher, sense's launcher still drains memory.. I'm removing sense asap

This looks interesting, though what exactly is different between this future ROM, and the rom for the Desire Z? It just seems like another Sense ROM to me.
Please don't take that the wrong way. It's great that you're porting different ROMs over to the G2! I'm just curious since I don't understand what sets it apart from a regular Sense ROM like Virtuous.

agenda widget
htc likes widget
there like 2 new people widgets
and twitter widget looks kind off dirent i guess.
edit: iv been told most of this is not new, bunch of this widgets are alredy in desire z builds, im guessing rmk40 ripps them out, or i never looked for them.

Cimer said:
Well I don't like the UI changes that are going on, and I do not see some of my wish list features that kind of make sense.
Some UI changes that I do not like is the "3G+" Even though that used to be accurate I like my H and if Virtuous was going to decide to change the H icon the only icon I would not mind is a "4G" icon because that term is accurate now.
I don't like what they did with the personalized button, I liked the old way better it looked nicer and I find it to be useful because I like changing certain UI things up which Sense allows me to do.
Also Virtuous buddy does not seem to work as well as I would hope and I can not access the main settings part, which leaves me kind of frustrated because I would like to know if I could change what I did not like above.
What I would like to be changed is when you slide down the notifications bar I would like a power control rather than recent apps, I have a home screen for that and the app drawer can be just as quick.
I don't know if this last part is possible or not, but I would like more themes, or just a flat bar like slate with the HTC skin to it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is a mod to make it a power contol, in the thread.
He said virtuous buddy is still beta.
If you don't like the personalize button.. flash the stock launcher.. yet again there is a mod for that in the thread.
The 3g+ icon is stock with the ROM. That's how HTC put it.
Make more themes since your so needy.
Conclusion: Read in the thread. Almost ALL that stuff you was complaining about besides the 3g+ icon is fixable, if you Read and stop complaining. Better yet don't flash the ROM. And I highly doubt RMK or HTC care about your wish list.

Unfortunately, no. Not without some serious framework porting to the SGH-T989. It's a shame, too. The browser is probably one of the best available for Android. You can get the TouchWiz launcher here, though. It's never been as fluid as the original for me, though.

TW's browser uses hardware accelerated animations and scrolling. Sure, it may not have a huge amount of features, but it's the only browser I've used on any mobile device that's been able to handle high Flash websites without a single bit of lag or jitter. The browser was half the reason I bought an SGSII.
Dolphin is fine, but the scrolling can get very jittery, there's no gesture support, and Flash videos slow it down considerably. It's nice, but those of us who don't need as many features...

I recently just started doing a bit with my GN. I currently have rooted and installed Revolutions HD 2.1.2 and messed around with some soft key/notification bar mods, but my main goal is to make my phone look far from stock ICS.
-What can I do to gain larger icons, similar to that of the iPhone =/. I like many of the icon packs, but I would just like to be able to re-size them. Does this have to do specifically with the ROM, or with themes?
- Some examples I have seen have been on the Android Themes forums, and MIUI.
- Any help would be appreciated, I've been poking around searching google and the forum for a bit but I haven't seen questions like these answered clearly.
Buy a Galaxy S II
Right. Any other ideas? or is it just something that the phone needs more time?

More times I think. Themes will pop up soon.
Once Cyanogenmod 9 comes out there are hundreds of CM themes that will make it look FAR from stock ICS.
Also you can try using an alternate launcher, like GoLauncher EX, ad using a theme for GoLauncher, like a HTC Sense theme
Check out all the GO Launcher Themes HERE for a bunch of ways to make it look not like stock ICS

I have ZERO lag on apex when opening the app drawer (and no Apex is not a system app on my phone) but I will give Nova a try regardless.
I also second Chrome and Apex/Nova Launcher as the must haves so far. Honestly most good apps for ICS are going to be available for older android OS's as well just because of the huge installed user base that exists for froyo/gingerbread. Only 3% of all android devices are currently running ICS

Wow, I find it quite funny that you openly admit that there is likely 1000 other threads C covering this issue but you posted anyways.
The reason there are not many results on Google (which I find hard to believe) I'd because ova has not been out long enough with high enough market penetration for useful ics only applications to be created.

Hi all,
I'm beginning to question the power of the HOX.
I purchased Gyroscope 3D Space Live Wallpaper, and installed it on my Nexus 7.
I was very impressed may I add !!! Nice wallpaper.
But, when I put it on my HOX, unlocking the phone became very slow.
Constantly re-drawing the homepage etc, sometimes crashing.
Getting a blackscreen and then having to swipe left, then right to get my homepage to show.
How can the HOX struggle with this wallpaper, but my N7 displays it with ease !!
Thanks.
every live wallpaper is laggy on every phone....

I know sense is still running, but essentially the LWP is running on Nova?
And I have it set to "Aggressive Desktop", which is basically "Keep in Memory"
So why the constant re-draw?

Hox has aggressive memory settings, and kills a lot of things try opening browser then another app when you go back it will reload the webpage

Ok, I just think N7 and HOX specs are similar, yet my N7 runs its smooth as silk, whereas my HOX has a fit...

But the problem is that "Sense" isn't just the launcher of HOX. The fact that it runs on sense rom is the problem. Sense rom has aggressive memory handling as someone pointed out in few posts above.
While Nova is your default launcher. you are still basically using sense rom.
