Sense launcher - RAM usage

---

Hello,

I switched to APEX launcher instead of Sense, and was looking for the RAM usage of both.

Seems like the Sense launcher uses (on my device) arount 67MB of RAM vs 36MB for APEX.

I also noticed that the Sense launcher remains cached in the RAM even if you use an other launcher.

I cleared the cached Sense launcher via:

Options\Apps\Activated Apps\Menu => Show cached processes

There you should be able to select HTC Sense and click stop, to free the RAM\Cache.

I froze the Sense launcher, all the widgets, lock screen and settings using Titanium backup (required root). The phone with Apex launcher shows a saving of 100MB after a reboot.

After freezing of sense, do you notice any better battery?

I only cleared the sense launcher out of the cache to free up RAM when using an other launcher.

Not sure, but I'm sure less memory use means less power consumed.
I did under-clocked the CPU to 1.2GHz and changed the governor from on-demand to interactive. This saves on battery and make the phone runs cooler without any noticeable performance drop.
