Im using the stock rooted deodexed rom (newest update) and stock kernel.
Battery and speed have been good but Im usualy a light user. I just downloaded hanging with friends and words with friends and one of them is like a 40meg download.
Well here is where my question comes in. When using either of these apps and I back out of them Sense restarts. Is this a lack of memory on our evos or is this a software issue like the size of sense or a kernel issue? Its not a real problem and only happens with these 2 apps so far Im not a big gamer so I have nothing to compare it to.
And as always Thanks for your advice.

I use the front camera often for tango with my kids so i need that and the memory thing is what i thought also It seem like android is stopping sense to free up memory for the game to run and then restarting when i stop the game. Sound right?

Also if I flash tommys sense 2.33 rom then the camera wont be an issue right?
Is the issue only with the 2.35 update?

Yeah, its a 2.3.5 thing. I would really like to get the kernels updated, but the kernel devs haven't been too active lately. :(

Flash a rom based off of the last OTA and you'll be good to go. ;)

MikG comes to mind.

Are you saying the sense restart is a 2.3.5 thing or the camera?
MikG works well for me in general but There is a 4G data issue that I have with it. I have to clear cashe's on a daily or the speeds drop to worse than 3 g

The issue is that kernel source hasn't been released. So they can't get The newest code for 2.3.5 to work with.
