I have used Go Launcher since the start with my Tbolt. I use a lot of widgets and it bogs down. I thought I would try Sense. It runs great until I leave it (run a program or put to sleep. When I hit the home key I get a green and white HTC screen and it says "loading". With Golauncher you could tell it to stay in memory. Any way to make Sense stay in memory?
Thanks in advance.
If you're rooted you could try the v6 supercharger script. It makes the launcher harder to kill and helps it stay in memory.

You could also add this to the bottom of your build.prop
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
It forces the launcher into the memory.

I'm not rooted. Just using a stock TBolt. If I get rid of most of the widgets sense will stay in memory. It does run faster than GoLauncher (will all the widgets running). I'll just keep it minimal. So when is Verizon going to step up to the plate with the one x or s? Then I could run some widgets!

Anybody else having this problem. It is usually when I exit an app like a game and all I see is the HTC logo until sense reloads.

I do. All the time...
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I've had that happen a couple of times, but not enough to care. Generally (I think) it is because something is hogging RAM or ROM or something and Sense shuts off to help the phone run more smoothly. You should look at your task manager to see what's running right now and see if there's anything sucking a lot of RAM or ROM. Could be an issue I suppose.
Is there a way to make it where sense won't shut down but other apps shut down when the phone is low on memory.

I looked at the task manager and the game I was playing was using 210mb of ram and no other apps were open.

That is normal. Sense closes to free up resources. I don't know if you can block it from happening, but if you do, your game will probably lag.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
When we get full root/s-off I bet there will be a way to force the launcher to stay in memory. You can do it with launcher pro. I am not sure however if it is a root only feature.
The game was lagging some then stopped. I guess that's when sense closed.

Sense still closes allot. I willjust hit the home button from my browser and it will show HTC and load sense.

what other apps do you have installed? Something else might be hogging memory. You can use system panel to see everything that is running (including core processes).
I got about 180 apps and I don't know what one cutoff be doing it. None of them use much ram. Sense uses the most at about 100~220mb

Apex Launcher seems to reload/redraw far too often whenever returning to the home screen. Can I make it persistnant or lock it into memory? (Preferably without using V6 supercharger)

Did you clear defult tw launcher?....I'm using adwex make aure its defult..and stop or freeze home launcher shouldn't have any issues after that..
Thanks for the response. Yes, default is cleared and TW Launcher is frozen. I'm only using Apex. I'll return to the home screen via the home button and my widgets take a few seconds to reload and the app drawer has to load as well. I was hoping there was a way to just keep it locked in memory.

If you are familiar with build prop tweaks this will lock it in...
ro.home_app_adj=1 -*Forces the launcher to stay in memory. This could slow down the front app, but allow for quicker app switching.
Research ....and see.....

I have had a bit of luck actually with using the bulletproof apps option in the V6 script. Once installed, run the bulletproof option and enter "anddoes" which is what apex is listed as then hit enter. It works on GB and on ICS but you have to go into to the data directory in script manager (assuming you have browse as root selected in config) and have the bulletproof script run on boot. So far (unless it's placebo lol) I have seen an improvement. I hope this helps other out!

I have not rooted my EVO LTE yet. But I installed ADW EX for now and can't stand the menu button on the bottom. It takes up too much space.
I'm not a Sense fan and was hoping version 4.0 was better, but but after a couple of days I still prefer pure Android. Unfortunately I can't figure out why HTC and others are adding permanent home, and back and recent buttons when ICS looks better without them.
Even when I root and install CM9, for example, I'll have a huge menu button that takes up too much space.
Anyone see what I'm talking about?
What can we do about it?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Man I installed go launcher and I'm wondering the same exact thing. I upgraded to this phone to have a bigger screen than my s2 and I can't even do that without sense..
Does anyone know how to get rid of that menu vertical ... at the bottom?
I think an option is to use Apex or Holo launcher. They seem to be better suited for ics. Just saw a video review of it here http://goo.gl/cykps
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Another option is Nova Launcher. It is a true ICS launcher that is really slick and and does away with the three dot menu.
There is a mod that could be flash to remove menu bar and remaps it. Have you guys tried it?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
If you flash cm9 they remapped the buttons that crap is gone, it's running way better than sense also. Just a few minor issues.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
But is there an official CM9 out for the evo? One thing I'm not liking is the 1gb ram and sense. Sense is still too heavy for 1 gb ram. Sometimes it takes 15-20 seconds to load the sense launcher.
I bought apex pro. Better, but when I jump to different apps then hit the home button, sometimes it takes a few seconds to load the launcher.
That just tells me memory is running out somewhere (sense).

OP, just to clarify, when you unlock and run CM9 , you WON'T have the big long menu bar. Even on sense, if you're rooted you can get rid of it.

+1 on Nova.
Running Fresh 1.0 with Nova launcher, no lag but never really had any of the Sense 4.0 reload issues that some talked about anyway. Figured it was just the GS3 people trying to troll but maybe a bad batch of cells went out too..
Anyway, NOVA is sick! Setup the way you want, gives you better visual then GO etc (IMO) and great on footprint (memory). Works very well and as the other user stated, its native to ICS anyway. Give it a shot, blows the doors off anything else I tried and no lag anywhere..
Fresh is great too IMO, there are some great multitasking tips using the ROM toolbox, adjusting heaps etc..works well also,

What you say would be a solution for my discontent. I'm going to root soon and will remove some of the sense bloatware, but removing the menu also interests me. Regarding CM9 once it's officially supported ill be on board.
I bought apex and almost bought nova instead. They both look interesting.

Just to let you know the menu button on the bottom shows because those apps having been optimized to ICS, yes after 7-8 months and developers still doing the same, thats the reason you dont see any system apps doing that, cause their optimize, I wish developers would tho

So it's just a matter of time before more apps are optimized? It is very annoying...

Another option I wouldn't mind would be to hack the recent apps button to make it think it's the menu button. I'm used to long pressing the home button anyways. I think the Sgs3 is like that.

Hmmm. Here's what I would try next, just for the hell of it: remove all of your icons from your dock and from your main home screen. Change your wallpaper to something else stock. Reboot. Put one normal, everyday (like the phone dialer or people, etc) icon/shortcut - not a widget - in your dock. Reboot. Check lockscreen. See your shortcut?
HTH!
Try going to personalize under settings and go to lock screen. There should be options for different lock screen options.

What did you install before this happened? You said you are stock, but are you rooted? Delete anything? This wouldn't just disappear without either clicking that setting off, or deleting something you shouldn't have.
I know you said stock... but did you install a different launch.. ie Nova, Apex... etc. and stop/freeze sense. When i did that i lost the lockscreen apps. Kinda sucks but sense needs to be running to have those, regardless of using it or not.... Good luck

Don't disable Sense. As far as enabling it to change the dock, just go into Nova settings and use the "Default launcher" button towards the bottom. Go to Sense, "Just Once" and set your dock. Hit the Home button and click Nova, "Always". Done.

Not with CyanogenMod 10/10.1, plus the OP states he/she is using CM10 with Nova Launcher.
That will remove the bottom stock bar, but will also completely change the operating system. If you're willing to install CM10, I would recommend it. At the moment, I don't think there is away to change the Stock "Bar" at the bottom.
