Try install version 1.0 again, I don't know about 1.1 though.

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.

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.

Slow loading of home screen

Hi friends,
Happy to post my 1st thread in XDA
Last friday got my HTC one V (had to wait for 10 long days to get it from homeshop18 ) Played a lot with the new features and enjoyed it.
Phone runs stock ICS and not rooted.
There are 2 thnings I noticed.
1)I noticed that while coming back to home screen(either by pressing home button or by pressing back button) from one open application e.g. Calculator, it loads the home screen with some dalay(1-2 seconds).But if I come to home screen from list of applicaitons(not from any open application), it loads the home screen without any delay. I checked this behavior with galaxy s and sl where i din't notice any such delay.But one thing I noticed that when I press home button from any app say, calculator, it actually closes the application and loads the home screen but in galaxy s and sl, it loads the home screen without closing the appln.You can find it running in background in task manager.Is this the reason for the dalay in HTC one v?
2)When connecting the phone with HTC Sync Manager in my DELL Inspiron 1545, it says "Device Unavailable" , but it works fine in compaq laptops.I Googled it to know that it is a known issue but no resolutions found
I hope friends in XDA has some suggestions for the 2 probs.

sometimes it happens to me,first time it happened I did a factory reset so everything became good.2nd time it happened I removed all apps on homescreen,and changed settings in developer options to original..that's allll

Hi donhashem,
the reason for the lag was due to the fact that the OS closes/destroys all the activity as soon as the user leaves it. This setting can be on/off from Settings>developer options>Apps>Don't keep activities[On or Off].
Hope this will help you or any one tackling the problem by not doing a factory reset.
cheers!!

Yeah,thanks that's what I did the 2nd time it happened to me

Hi!
The upgrade to firmware 2.09.720.1 is available now in India.
Go to Settings->About->Software Updates.
Not sure if it will solve your problem, but makes the phone noticeably faster.

ICS Ice Cream Sandwich

I am thinking of going back to my LeeDroid rom.
The only good things about ICS is the custom install, one setting which helped with internal storage.
I liked the twitter app which let me set a notification tone for someone in particular.
I have found the speed of the menu and opening apps quite slow. The keyboard is annoying. Using the track ball for moving along text is too fast. I can't leave it on charge when it is fully charged because the phone will switch off. The contacts settings in People is basic and looks odd.
Does anyone agree?

I want my device faster but...still not going to such an old sense. Beauty + speed it's what i want

I guess it depends on priority and how you interpret two conditions. Speed and smooth. These stick together in different proportions and have completely different meaning.
Smoother ICS does not mean faster response, it just mainly higher FPS -"Frame rate (also known as frame frequency) is the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames.Frame rate is most often expressed in frames per second (FPS)" I just stick to GB roms for now.

I was using MIUI before and tried Sandvolds ICS to see what it was like.It runs really smooth and so far I've had no issues with it.
I don't really notice any lag, in fact a lot of my apps are running a lot better.

[ROM][Kernel]Vanilla AOSP 4.4.4 for VZW m7

There is nothing super special about these builds in terms of features. This is not a feature packed ROM. It is a pure vanilla build developed by myself and @GatesJunior with minor additions like cLock, Koush SU, and SMS/MMS quick reply. These builds include my Elite Lunar AOSP edition kernel built inline with the ROM. It is 100% stable, fast, smooth and everything works. Battery life is exceptional! The biggest difference between this an other AOSP builds is we use a very minimal amount of resources from CM. The extent of what we use from CM is the hardware, AV(for camera) and device trees. I do these just for fun and wont be adding any features to it. It is meant as a vanilla "factory" style ROM.

The bug I was referring to had to do with noise cancellation (I think ) where the other party in a phone call hears their own voice echoing. Did you test for that?

Hey I'm having some problems with some small hardware commands... Is there a "hold back to kill app" option? And I can't seem to find the hardware menu key... What am I missing? Thank you!!!

Use xposed framework and gravity box for that functionality. Its not built in. These are vanilla builds.

I had this happen to me randomly on a sense ROM right after I started a you tube video. Ended up being hardware failure. Completely toasted. Just ended up getting a manufacturers warranty on it.

Thanks! Gonna give this a go! Unless you think I should hold off due to the hardbrick? I'm assuming there is no way this ROM caused that tho seems more like a hardware failure to me.... Clash of clans is hard on CPU. That game can mow through by entire battery in like 20 minutes

I would say so. I have been on the posted build since I built it and I play a ton of Netflix and castle clash and haven't had a problem. You should be fine for a warranty replacement. They can't even boot it up to check and see if you're rooted.
