Sense is a bit laggy

I think Sense is a bit laggy in my HOX. Is it possible to install apex launcher and not root the Phone? Or Will Sense run in background?

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)

There isn't a tablet option in CM9 yet that's built in.. I have seen the option in individual CM9s, but it isn't a general feature

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

make sure you tick the correct settings. there is no lag with the H1X. Believe me, see my other posts if you need further instructions

What do i have to do to make it not lag without rooting ?

[ROM] Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 4.2.1 - JOP40D - Manta [With OC/UC] [01/12/2012]

OK, so this is going to be my thread for unofficial CM10 builds...
@makelegs also has JellyBro nightly builds, but the main difference is I don't include any cherry-picks... only the official CM10 commits... If you'd like bleeding edge, do try those builds!!!
I've built this ROM with @ktoonsez kernel as my base... so you have OC/UC (100Mhz to 2100Mhz), with adjustable voltages and many CPU governors...
Do note, though, that CyanogenMod 10 is still a work in progress and may have bugs and issues...
Features:
1. CyanogenMod 10 - Android 4.2.1 [as of 01/12/2012 8:30AM Pacific Time]
CM10 features include: ThemeChooser themes, configurable notification lights, circle battery, the classic notifications power widget (turned off by default), volume-rocker wake & music controls, profiles, quiet hours, performance settings and many more​2. USB OTG support just like my AOSP+ 4.2.1 ROM
3. Kernel 3.4.20 with OC with 2100Mhz and UC to 100Mhz, with adjustable voltages & a lot of governors [use OC and voltage changes with caution]
4. UNC patched busybox (this is not yet part of CM10)
New in 01 Dec 2012 Build:
1. Updated device overlays for CM10.
2. Enabled expanded desktop and torch
3. Added more screen timeouts
4. Patched power HAL which does not revert OC after screen-off [credit ktoonez & myself]
6. Updated CM10 source as of 01/12/2012 8:30AM Pacific Time
Known issues:
Performance settings menu cannot adjust CPU speeds. Use apps like SetCPU.
Disclaimer:
I can make no guarantees that your experience with this ROM will be flawless. If you decide to flash this ROM, remember that you are doing so at your own discretion. I cannot and will not be held responsible if your jelly beans become rotten and your tablet decides implode. I will try to help you to the best of my ability, but beyond that, you stand alone behind enemy lines!! Have fun!!
Instructions:
1. Full wipe/factory reset is a must if you are flashing this over any other ROM
2. Wipe cache/dalvik cache between builds
3. Flash using CWM or TWRP

Working great over here so far. Couldn't get swipe installed though.
Prefer the aosp+ right pull down menu options.
Thanks for the ROM

Most of my games won't start for some reason (Fieldrunners, Myth Defense, Angry Birds, My Little Pony [don't judge me!]), but otherwise seems smooth. I could probably do a logcat to see what's happening, but this being the first build I would expect things like this. Great work!

It is set stock out of the box, as the first post says, you need SetCpu or the like to OC ...

[Kernel][JB 4.2.2] KickAss Kernel

Stock Kernel
I call this "stock" because I took the stock ICS source code and added certain modifications done to litekernel leaving us with a pretty rock solid kernel for cm10.1 ROMS
This kernel supprts:
BLN
Voodoo Sound
MTP
Data Usage
This kernel does not support:
UV
OC
GPU OC
Fast Charge
MMC_CAP_ERASE( ie I removed it so we dont brick our phones )
Download "stock"
You only need to wipe dalvik and cache to flash.
Upcoming:
I will be porting a few extra features like OC as well as adding few extra CPU governors and IO schedulers and that will be the kickass kernel but It'll take some time to run tests and what not before I release it

after a day of use, I'd say this kernel is the best so far. I experienced longer battery life, smoother ui (maybe I'm just telling it to myself) and the wake lag is gone, I also havent had a clock desync so far (maybe I'm "counting my chickens before theyre hatched.") but voodoo works perfectly. great job mate, you really should open a new thread of that kernel!

I installed the kernel the night before last. yesterday i had over fifteen hours moderate use and still had thirtyfive percent battery left.
the phone was running fast, no missed texts no repeated texts no wake lag. no lag in frozen bubble... in the last litekernel it seemed as if the battery life was extended at the cost of performance and now things are running smooth. no duplicated texts either when waking from deep sleep.
im running cm10 m3 0417 .. i cleared cache and dalvik cache after a backup and applied the zip overtop. im not using modified gapps. juice defender is installed which does a lot for my battery life.

despite my admiration of this kernel, I must share my results of 1 hour of tests: unfortunately I'm pretty sure, the hdr-crash is related to this kernel.

Code:
E/dalvikvm-heap( 7024): Out of memory on a 31961104-byte allocation.
Applying RamHack as we speak

Increasing dalvik heap size and grow limit fixes gallery FC.
You can fix that with apps like system tuner or wait for me to upload a new kernel with the changes.

In the end this is a wont fix as the problem is not in the kernel.

thanks guys, I just got it working again. first I had an FC but after clearing cache,gallery wouldnt crash anymore with hdr or crop.
one more question to you: I changed those things as they were in the description (to 192m and 384m), but I dont know if its the best. To how many do you recommend to change these numbers?
oh, and one more thing, cause Im having troubles with pressing the '1' and '4' characters on the physical keyboard while browsing. It starts to load something but doesnt put those damn numbers down, why? And if I press a key, it puts it down for a thousand times but doesnt pop up the number suggestions or those "table things" to choose specific characters.. only while browsing.. with texting it works fine.
Thanks

128m is working without problems for me.

Sweet launcher! I'm getting force closes on Dandroid's phone & messaging tho, it must have to do with the replaced tw-framework. Any solutions @TheLastSidekick? Nvm I just read in the thread that its not compatible with stock samsung ROMs
Oh and the Note III lockscreen prevents me from putting my pin in when I restart the phone - can you replicate? So far my workaround has been to disable it, put my pin in and re-enable.

Not too sure. I'll have a look see when I'm back on Touchwiz. Currently on Vanir. But it works smooth as butter on SlimROM.
Haven't used the lock screen app but I've heard good things about it. Maybe because of the framework mods its not allowing both of the apps to function correctly. I will test on Twiz asap.

[Q] Is there a way to get all the benifits of AOSPA with Sense 6?

I really like how sense 6 is set up, much better than stock android even. I also really like how aospa allowed me to customize a lot of the visuals and screen management on a per-app basis. Is there a way to at least emulate Paranoid Preferences, Hybrid mode etc. while keeping Sense? Thank you so much!
Edit: sorry if this is incoherent, or just plain stupid. Finals have me a bit scrambled.

I think there's an Xposed module called App Settings which let's you do per app DPI and some other stuff. Never used it but it might do what you're after.

There's no way to get sense Gui and apps on aosp. Viper One has a bunch of tweaks to get your phone looking and feeling like aosp without using xposed modules but yes, xposed modules are able to accomplish this as well.
