Sick of HTC Sense Reloading, Remedies? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

My ROM has memory tweaks applied but I want to exclude HTC Sense from being killed. It dies even when there is a lot of ram available.
I expect it to reload after a Game or Video sure, not general applications.
I was thinking of searching back to the old tweak Aakiam(Sp?) had for the EVO 4G with keeping Sense alive. (EDIT : Found it. Currently trying ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1, still testing though.)
I'll look for that but I just want to know if it works with the current EVO? Before I go messing with the build.prop.
If you have an alternate tweak that does work, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

According to the supercharger thread ics ignores build.prop and instead its hard coded into services.jar from what I gather.
Can you download auto memory manager and check the OOM priority for your launcher?
The priority should be 1 for the default launcher. Priority seems to be 5 (killed more easily) for the non default.

Can't get HTC Clock ed Animation to work

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me get the 3d flip animation to work on my Hero clocks. I have checked out every preview on youtube and seems like Hero does have the feature especially when you unlock the screen.
My device does not do that for some reason and I've tried to switch from one rom to another and still can't get it to work.
I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me as I really love this phone and have been showing it off infront of my iPhone owning friends
Thanks to all in advance
ciao
its been removed on the rom update cuz it takes up too much resources

IMHO, it never did take up too many resources, or was a specific performance issue. It was just that some people saw it as one.
It was just that the clock widget didn't update when the phone was sleeping or otherwise occupied. It *still* doesn't either - I often wake my phone from sleeping and see my clock is some hours in the past until it changes to a new time. It just does switches "instantly", rather than running an animation now.
Regards,
Dave
Ok, so if I wanna see it again I have to roll back to the initial ROM and suffer with the lagginess. No good news
Thank you guys for your feed back.

Animating Flip Clock Widget
I have a clock widget with a real animating flip, which does not require sense. Check my thread.

[Q] Evo Dialer / Phone

I was playing with my friends evo the other day... and i really liked his dialer/phone app. is there anyway i can port that over? or is it phone specific? can i just grab the apk over from his phone or a rom?
Pictures &/ link would help quite a bit

Pretty sure system apps are phone specific, the framework is tailored specifically for the Evo.....you can try it, and it if doesnt work just do a restore

how would we able to tell if it would work on the vibrant just by looking at a picture? it doesnt matter what the app looks like.......its the dialer from the evo, which is a system app unique to the model...thats all we need to know.....its obviously safe to say that the app is most likely not coded to function on devices other than the Evo
I suggest just downloading Dialer One from the Market. It has a similar layout to the Sense dialer, and you can customize it how you want. That's why we have 3rd party devs
you could also try "takephone" dialer....just to give you some options
it has cool skins, and a very cool scrollable favorites bar
The EVO runs HTC Sense so there are too many differences in the frameworks that the dialer in HTC Sense needs for it to work. This has been a question that people have asked since the first release of Sense.
there are some system apps that can work on other devices, but it just depends on how much the manufacture of the device changed the system app to use things that they added to the framework. But this is one that will not work on a non-Sense device.

Finally a decent dialer

Since I have turned from sense to CM7 I really missed the sense dialer. Not anymore
I found this: EX Dialer
It is a MIUI look a like dialer with a contact manager.

I decided to give it a go because everyone was suggesting it's lightweight and fast, and I guess it is true. It's not natively designed for LDPI (Nitpick). My biggest gripe is that the dialer is a bit laggy though, but I guess it's inevitable when this is not done via a native app.
There's no doubt though its an amazing app, and its free at that. So, if you are missing the smart dialer on AOSP ROM's, its definitely worth a try.
Screenshots:
I don't have any issues with cm7 dialer? I start typing contacts name and the number pops up.
I don't understand what's missing?

I had no luck with that. I m only able to select the contact or type the nr - with cm7 dialer
How can i solve this?

How can u pop up that ? I have no luck too.
I think he means when you press the search key (in dialer) and you write the contact name it shows up.
I guess. I don't see any other way
Lol my bad,sorry.I'm mistaken for theText msg it works on.

Niiiice......=))
to try it!
its fast,but too simple. Go contacts looks better but too slow.
iam using Touchpal Dialer
its the fastest one ive found on the market for free
I have to agree with the poster above. Touchpal is the fastest of all I've tasted so far.

Am I the only one that hates the Sense recent apps UI?

I've seen plenty of discussion about the One X series multitasking performance and tweaks to address it, but not much about HTC's UI for recent apps. I really don't like the cover-flow-like UI - I really don't need the 3D or reflections effects, it limits what I can see to only 2-3 apps (and only 1 with a name), and it requires extra scrolling to get to an app 2 or 3 back.

Maybe I am terrible at searching, but is there a way to get the standard ICS recent apps view?
No way of getting the stock ics multitasking yet. Only way is to run an aosp Rom.

:crying:
On the Charmeleon rom you can disable the sense recent apps. Which reverts it to vanilla style.
I'm going to be blunt. Yes. yes you are.
I too dislike the cards, but as regalpimpin said, the Char ROM is the only one I've seen that has the option for stock recent apps UI. Would love a flashable zip for this, or how-to on disabling the Sense version.

I knew I was asking for it with that title. Clearly that's not entirely true, but I am surprised it doesn't bother more people. Even the GB recent apps UI was more efficient for switching, unless of course what you wanted was more than 6 apps back.
I'll have to give Charmeleon ROM a try. Or maybe I will go back to using Wave Launcher for now since I've got the recent apps button mapped to menu anyway.

Do not disturb/Blocking Mode?

I haven't been messing around with a HTC Device since 4.0.4 on the OneX and I wasn't sure if HTC ever added a Do Not Disturb/Blocking Mode to sense 4+ or this latest version of sense.
Does anybody who has a One (or can go play with one) know if there is such a mode?
Thanks!
Just bought mine yesterday. Prior Inspire 4G user. Now, the One has the ability to add numbers to a blocking list if that is what you mean.
If not, let me know and I'll keep looking.
I am sure what he means (and what I want to know too) is if it has a "Do not Disturb" option like the iPhone has. Where you can set it to ON and then tweak the settings. For example, I have my iPhone on Do Not Disturb and the settings are 11:30PM to 7 AM so no messages/calls/etc make no sound in that time frame. I played with the One a bit, but did not find such feature. I am sure a ROM does have it or there must be a way to get it. This being my first Android, I have not figured it out yet.
Oh, I know what you mean. Stock androids don't have that. But every ROM I flashed on my Inspire did. Of course it was rooted. I may root this one in a couple of weeks though.

I know aosp roms (Like CM10.1) have a feature called quiet hours. You might want to look into that.
Check out the app called seer in the play store. It's what I use. I used dnd on my lg Optimus G. I missed having it.
There's nothing built-in.
I'm using tasker for this. If I'm charging at night, I turn auto sync off to stop checking for notifications while still allowing calls.
it's built into htc sense 5.5
