I am getting a decent battery life. Battery drains fast when I use wifi and keep auto sync on.

One of the new features in Gingerbread (2.3.4) is voice and video chat in GTalk.

HTC Desire can't have video chat so Gingerbread 2.3.4 is unusual currently.

Agile Lock Your free cure for the Sense 3.0 lockscreen blues

There is a really nice fully working Sense 3.0 lockscreen app. There is a free version and a paid version ~1$ which is fully customizable (app shortcuts ecet).
http://www.appbrain.com/app/agile-lock-free/com.nanoha.SenseScreen
Try the free version it is same as paid except for the customization. Occasionally does take time for the lockscreen to show up. Not just the first time you load it as the author says but occasionally. Unless you are running MIUI it is the only real game in town. Hopefully if enough people support the author he will fix the lag on opening.
Just in case you haven't seen it yet in the market.

Haven't had a single bit of lag on cm7

I wouldn't run this on my OG Droid. That phone seriously doesn't have any memory to spare for a lockscreen.
I never had any problems with my Inc 2 actually turning on with this running. I did have problems with the Agile Lock lockscreen itself showing up after turning on my phone. The Agile lockscreen would wait 2 seconds or so until I touched the screen then it would show up.
I decided to live a little and blew $1.32 on the paid version. There was an update yesterday on that version and it doesn't seem to have that delay to show up that I was talking about. I am not sure if it is completely gone but then again I didn't really any memory intensive programs like games today.
I am running a rooted debloated HTC Gingerbread rom and boy am I in heaven. This lockscreen is the only thing about the new 3.0 Sense I wanted. This app is really surprisingly well made.

Sense crashing

Is anyone else having a problem with Sense continually crashing? Almost every other time I go into an app and use it for any length of time, when I exit the app Sense has crashed and I have to watch the stupid loading animation while it restarts. It's happening really regularly.
Cheers.

Check how much ram is free.
And check the developers options for background tasks.

Yup noticed that too. This needs to be updated not liking sense.

Incredible how much ram Sense is taking up.
I figured it would take less considering it's more stream lined to look at compared to say Sense 3.
At times it feels like we've got two operating systems competing with each other for resources but slapped together.

It's definitely not ram related. It just did it again with 313 mb free.

I initially noticed this too. Then I went and disabled auto updates to HTC sense and voila, no more seemingly crashes in Sense.

Hi globalgpj, can you tell me how you disabled auto updates? I got my new device yesterday and I find that my touch screen and buttons become unresponsive fairly often. The only solution is to press the power button briefly to switch off the screen and on again and the response is ok.
Thanks.

I had this problem too 1st time i started my phone.
What helped for me was a complete system restore and skip the setup-wizard and do all that manually one in SENSE.
Here it shows how it was on my phone (look at 0:30)
Goog luck!

If this bothers you return the phone. Htc has had this issue since the Sensation. It will rear its head at some point. It's because Sense uses too much ram and isn't locked in memory so Android will dump it from ram to make room for other apps and then it has to reload which takes longer than most launchers. This reason alone is why I'm staying away from Sense. Try using an 3rd party launcher and it'll work better.

You don't understand. This issue has been confirmed by many people on Sensation running Gingerbread and ICS including me. Adding a line to the build file forcing Sense to be locked in memory. The moment you remove that line (how it is by default) it starts happening.
It's fine, just don't expect this issue to be fixed because to htc its not an issue. It's just the way it is.

I can't remember exactly. But it did solve my problem of sense constantly loading which causes lag or delay in sense loading.
However, check the following:
Go into settings, and at the very bottom is Developer options. Click this option. Then see if this item is ticked :"Show screen updates"... if it is ticked, untick it.
The only thing I have ticked in this option is "Animation", everything else is unticked.
The other thing I also do, is I try not to have my widgets updated constantly. I have my emails checked only every 3 hours, my news reader, greader pro, every 12 hours.
Let me know if this has helped you.

I believe you can only use this script with a rooted device. Is that correct ?
Many people with HTC One X may be locked into a carrier for some period of time and therefore on a Stock ROM !

adding echo ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 to the local.prop solved the problem on my Desire Z, luckily temproot was enough to edit the file.
I don't suppose there is a way to temproot the One X yet?! I'm not interested in perm rooting my One just yet... I'm too fond of my 2yrs. warranty

This is a confirmed bug (countless people reported it).

I find this very strange.. i have in the last week had one force close on sense, other than that it has been fine

I haven't seen a single force close on anything yet. Had a few random close-without errors on Route 66 and one or two on Sygic, but this is infinitely more stable than my ICS Asus Transformers...

I have to agree with you . That was my problem in the beginning. So I installed Touch Calendar app, and since then, no more problems.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
PS. I also went into SETTINGS, clicked on "Accounts and Sync" and check under my gmail account to see how many things were auto syncing. I removed most of them and chose to do them when I needed to. This helped conserve battery and possibly a smoother SENSE operation.

I have similar problem but no need pull batery, just a reboot and it will fast again.

Try running a cache cleaner. I have noticed some programs doing that and I run cachecleanerng and it seems to fix it.

Can't reboot, its pretty much completely unresponsive.
As for the cache cleaner, doesn't do anything even after full wipe and fresh app install.

Simply put Google will ignore any bug reports of chrome on "unofficial" android releases such as ICS on desire Z, and cuz its not for gb, they wouldn't support the G2/DZ are all, so support inquiries are basically ignored.

I have tested Chrome on my Mimicry 1.4.0, based on ICS 4.0.4.
Chrome didn't run fully functional e.g. Fn key didn't work...

Wasn't working right for me either. Since it really isn't working for anyone which browser do people prefer instead?

The latest 9/9 version has a fix for the ringtone issue. Not sure about the task manager because I quit reading the thread after I decided not to use the rom. It is very new so there are sure to be bugs that need to be worked out which takes time.
