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

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.

bulletproofing apps means preventing it from getting killed... you were right

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.

is there a mod / kernal which which acts like the polite ringer feature on the sesne rom? i wanna use a ics rom but it doesnt have this feature etc , any ideas how i can get this functionality on a non sense rom , i know miui has it built in etc but i didnt like there ics rom etc .
http://solsticerom.dyndns.org/ had this functionality ,but i dont like stock aosop gb roms as they are too striped down etc
thank you
Stock aosp roms are not stripped down. Sense and miui roms are built up.

when i was using oxygen etc it didnt have a sound recorder , fm radio app felt stripped down to what i was normally used to , i havent experianced true stock gb i'm used to the carrier bloated roms
Devnull is pure stock. Oxygen has loads added from pure stock. Miui and sense even more...

MIUI: Good for a few days, worst piece of crap you've ever used heron after.
as it took sometime to totally port jellybean for us..lets get fun to the lockscreen first
maybe someone dindt know this thing yet so im sharing it to you
Simple and fast lock screen replacement, based on stock Jelly Bean lock screen.
Holo locker is not a theme for Go Locker or others, it is the real Jelly Bean lock screen app.
MOBINT SOFWARE offer us this oppurtunity

This sucks really bad... fails all the time and a lot of other bugs. Much better changing frameworks.

Hello !
I tried alot of Roms on my Wonder..
Honestly I stopped at F.A.W.
It's the best one for me, battery is OKEY, not goot but okey..., I don't care about the Design. BUT, I hate the GB Lockscreens..!
I hate the Code lock, Pin lock, draw lines lock (what ever it's supposed to be called in english, im german..) and slide the screen away. Samsung did a really dirty job with the lockscreens... I mean, loock at the iPhone. Im not a fanboy of iPhones etc. but sliding a Button ist the best lockscreen. Or HTC Sense, slide away a ring. Man that's what I call lockscreen..!
The ICS Lockscreen is also alright.
I want ICS Lock (or if possible, HTC Sence Lock) on my Wonder (F.A.W. Rls2 - Gingerbread 2.3.6)
I know there are Apps/Tweaks like "Hololocker" etc. But honestly they never work right for me..! The first few hours everything is alright. Later, it starts to show the wrong Time etc. AND sometimes I even need to go through TWO Lockscreens. The standard GB one, and Holo Locker...
And in fact, this is really annoying me. I hate TouchWizard and the general "Samsung Style", and If I knew this before, I would have bought the HTC Desire S or something like that. But Im okey with the Wonder, and I don't want to say it's a bad mobile, cause I would be lying...
But the Lockscreen, is the only point which is really annoying me hard..!
So, is there any possibility to install ICS Lockscreen on GB ? A Mod ? Which works well and don't gets stuck all the time ?
I'd appreciate help
Btw. Im not using ICS Beta 2, because the Batterie is really just a piece of... on my wonder. It lasts 4 hrs, while I do absolutly nothing. (well okey, sometimes i check the Time, but that can't use my battery that hard...) AND the WiFi Connection is awfully slow on my Wonder... So I want to stay on FAW. Just wanted to mention that..

Hi
to till now me also didnt find ICS lockscreen yet & i use all 3rd party apps like Holo Locker (sucks) iPhone locker or GO Locker (much better then others) but ICS lockscreen is very good, So there is no zip flash file that you want (in my view)
If u really crazy for ICS lockscreen then become as CM9 series ROMS such as inDroid RemICS, Digital AOKP, Bio Hazard, etc...
you'll able to see ICS lockscreen and all functions on ICS in your GTW.

I know, but I hate these Launchers. None of them works well. No one ! (in my opinion..) and I don't want to use CM9/10 because the WiFi Connection is really too slow for me..! +Battery drain...
So I want to stay on GB... Think there's nothing to do for me...
When I was still on GB, WidgetLocker always work without fail.
I've left GB, though. I'm on CM9b3 now with 'pristine' install, and couldn't be happier

Hey guys,
I tried several JB roms with Sense 4+ now and I loved all of them so far except for 1 thing:
Where have all the great tweaking options gone?
So my question for y'all is:
Is anyone working on a tweaking mod like the one from the Viper rom at the moment?
Or does anyone at least know how I can get my quicksettings back in Sense 4+?
I put my trust in the great XDA-community that someone is already working on this or has already done it :fingers-crossed:

There's no quick settings available for JB Sense ROMs yet. We must wait for the genius devs to figure it out.
Renovate 12 has quick settings doesn't it? Haven't tried myself though.
