HTC Sence 4

      Ok I have used the HTC One X for over a month and it was very fast and audio quality was great and so was the battery life. With HTC's new "Sence" it has had tons of tweaks so the user exprience to make it more enjoyable.
 
     However here are the downsides or things that were rather annoying one thing is it seems that multitasking is disabled but a quick fix is to root the phone and install something that can manage the mines and change to something less aggressive like 22 24 30. Now I have a HTC One V as my primary device and noticed that sometimes the phone can stutter a tad bit when running games. With Sence using less RAM it does feel a bit slower than my 600MHZ processor optimus V but it does seem HTC is trying to improve but it does not feel like a giant step but please allow us to turn off Sence in future versions and maybe on the lower end One V maybe used Qualcomms older dual core chip as a single core can feel choppy when using multiple applications.
  
     Now onto the advantages of running the new Sence 4 I have to say that on the One V Sence has been "watered" down for the slower hardware and smaller screen. Now that HTC has dramatically reduced Sence's RAM usage the phone feels fast out the box as opposed to having a custom ROM. One thing that I have noticed is that the stock animations are gone completely which makes the phone feels smoother and much more consistent with the performance.

How to use a shared PC

      As for some of those times when all you have brought with you is just your smart phone and you need access to a PC. In every techies mind using a public computer can feel as disgusting as a port-a-potty not like dirt everywhere but cluttered with malware, someone not logging out of their email or the most popular someone downloading useless programs and toolbars. In this post I want to show you what to do you avoid those problems and potential risks of your account being taken.
 
      1. Use safe mode as it does not run excess programs like tool bars so if you know that the PC is free but is bloated give safe mode a try. However the downside to safe mode is that fine tuned malware can still run or block other programs.  To get into safe mode on a Windows PC after the bios has loaded press F8 repeatedly then press enter on safe mode with networking.
 
       2. Use a virtual environment this is one of the most secure methods of using another PC however if you are using another user account which does not allow executable files this method is useless. One program to use to prevent potential malware is Sandboxie as it runs programs and files in a virtual environment. You should use this method if you are doing potential risky things to prevent the spread onto other computers and prebvent man in the middle attacks
      3. Boot from something other than the boot drive like a DVD or USB drive. Certain Linux distros allow you to boot and try the operating system directly from the drive without even touching another drive. You will want to keep in mind as public computers can have a policy to prevent users from doing this as thus has been said consider your self warned.

Don't you miss it

  After getting a new phone and getting an exception that says I can't root the phone so that takes away me from installing a custom ROM. Well now I miss the days of running the latest CyanogenMod nightly with full hardware acceleration and fast at the stock clock. I do still like my phone but for others who share the same disability and did have a rooted phone but it is gone. However the limitations of not rooting your phone can get in annoying like sometimes you may want to wipe battery status or wipe dalvik cache but you can't do that without root.

  It all started when I got my phone HTC One V and it is a great phone however use launcher pro or another launcher because the stock Sence launcher is a RAM hog. I love the phone dearly however I just wonder what can it do over clocked or rooted on a custom ROM. With a great 1GHZ processor it is a certain upgrade and came very close to beating the Evo 3D's 1.2GHZ dual core chip. However  I was told specifically not to root the phone so it does eliminate what can be done.

  I strongly recommend people to try phone hacking however I'm not responsible for anything that you may wish to do with anything. Don't you miss the days of AOKP ROMs with so many features of CyanogenMod for speed if don't be afraid try it odds are you will like it.
