Since I don't have enough posts to post in the direct thread for [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.7 XE | 4.1.7 Sense 3.5 | High Quality & Performance, I'm going to post this here.

I've tried both the 3.0 and 3.5 ROMs that Revolution HD provides, and personally I find the 3.5 ROM to be a bit slower than the 3.0 Sense ROM, but I'm not sure if it's just me being crazy or it actually is because 3.5 is still considered beta. To people who use this ROM, which do you find better/faster? 3.6.7 XE or 4.1.7 Sense 3.5? I'm looking for the best performance and speed for my phone.

Thanks.

Sense 3.0 is faster than 3.5 & has better performance.
Im using 3.6.7 XE (flashed it today, was previously on 3.6.5) and it's been working perfectly.

So what is fundamentally different between 3.0 and 3.5 ? I know one is 2.3.4 and the other is 2.3.5 but what are the advantages of 3.5 over 3.0 ? Thank a lot guys

Hi,

3.0 is always going to be better than 3.5 in terms of speed.
But it is also a question of how it "FEELS" to the user.
I find a much better "FEEL" to 3.5.
Even though it is still a beta,I prefer it,but that is a personal observation.
Go with what YOU like.

:)

Hi. For music lovers sense 3.0 is much better, because is on XE base and music quality is way better. I like sense3.5 too, but personally I prefer the music quality.

Hi,

I thought the majority of the performance (+bugginess) issues with 3.5 were mostly due to it being a leaked beta and that it should be just as solid and fast as 3.0 (or even better) once HTC resolved the known issues. Is there something else behind the slowness in 3.5 that I'm missing?

BTW... I too "FEEL" better using the 3.5 Sense. I find the email and contact interfaces to be much easier to use and I use them much more than playning music.

Appreciate your input,

Thanks for the replies, I installed the latest version of 3.0 Revolution after installing the latest 4.1.7 and there is a significant difference when it comes to speed (3.0 > 3.5).

Hi,

you are right about the beta issue, but having tried both,I too feel more comfortable using 3.5.
I use ROM cleaner to get rid of all sorts of crap and bloat.
That in itself helps to run it smoothly and without lag.
So I'm happy.
You pay your money(or not :D ) and make your choice.

Same thing. I run @ 1.118 and all my games like Trials and Speed 3D all run fine and I use 3.5. But same thing I have a mp3 player if I want music so I don't use my phone for that.
