Hero getting more sluggish

[ChaosShadow]

If you disable sense, do you still get the 7 windows?

Disabling sense would essentially make the phone Vanilla. So, you'd only have 3 home screens.

Oh ok, then i won't be doing that. Thanks for your response.

If anyone wouldn't mind, can someone just give a quick explanation as to what key advantages rooting the cdma Hero would present?

Thanks.

The key advantages for me are being able to remove the "Sprintware" that I really don't use or need, plus I'm running a ROM right now that's visibly faster than the OOB one. Since rooting and using this new ROM I haven't had any lag to speak of. This is the one I'm using . . . [ROM] 01/10/10 | TTG CDMA Hero rom | v0.1.5 - xda-developers

i noticed that as well. I just deleted a few apps that I wasn't using and it seemed to get better. I try to keep free space on my phone to about 50%.

I found that when i disabled HTC Sense UI that my hero became more responsive. The keyboard and regular tasks became fluid instead of having that small lag. If you disable HTC Sense you can turn it back on. To disable, from the home screen hit menu > settings > applications > let applications load > htc sense > clear defaults.If you disable sense, non of the HTC Sense widgets will work. Your phone will have the core android operating system, similar to a mytouch 3g. I did not use a lot of widgets so it doesn't bother me to disable them. The htc keyboard and some things still work. I just found that this speeds up certain operations to the phone. To switch the phone back to normal

How do you reenable sense if you want it back?

Yes I understand that but what about bringing it back?

Yes I understand that but what about bringing it back?

just like he said, make your way to manage applications and select Home, clear defaults, the next time you press the home key it will ask you what you want to do, hit set default and click sense to re enable it or if you have dx top or one of the other home replacements select them

Ahhh... I didn't look close enough to the exact steps.

 

[jcorcione]

Wow that actually seemed to work pretty good on my phone.

Yeah but doing it everyday?? Seems kind of hinky to me.
