Looks very similar to me, most of the fun features I was looking forward to are in sense 4.0... However I was expecting speed boosts
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
Nope, havent.. am busy with an exam, so I'm focusing on that. But as soon as I do, ill make a vid for you guys..

Btw. Installed OTA update from HTC on my other senny... Sense 3.6..

But its a lil bit snappier, no lags etc compared to GB...

Might do a comparison with stock and Arhd
[HTC Sensation] brenopoubel:
Where is it?

So give me a link, and i flash it, then record a video for us.

[HTC Sensation] brenopoubel:
I see, this rom is based on endeavour Ruu right? Or Ville ?
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
And make sure you turn off animation in setting/display when you first boot tap on status bar to enter setting or it will not work.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
It's Ville only a oreview
[HTC Sensation] brenopoubel:
Cool, i'll try it now.
[HTC Sensation] nech.q:
Couldnt see too much difference:confused:
[HTC Sensation] brenopoubel:
OMG man, 5 minutes with that rom, i see, the most things is working.

Let me do some more tests...

then i post my conclusions with video here.

Lol, i can't record video cause i don't got Root, lol.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Cam/video/Bluetooth/animation does not work yet, it's just an alpha previews but those will be fix ;)
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
It's the same Endeavour port is using tegra 3 chip and its 4.7 HD display needs a lot of fixes. As for One S it's 4.3 qhd display and uses Qualcomm S4 chip, it matches more toward our Sensation our chip is S3 less fixes.
[HTC Sensation] solski:
Sense 4.0 really looks nice!

I'm going for a custom ROM with sense 4.0 :)
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
now they´ve fixed the camera/camcorder aswel. so thats good.

progress is being made :D
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Baadnewz Ville is awesome uh..well as long as you turn off animation

Bugs:

animation

GPS

Bluetooth

I can live whiteout those It's my daily now.

HIT THANKS, cos i only did it for you! - YES YOU!! ;)
[HTC Sensation] mastmnmn:
tanx for video.does camcorder work for u with the fix?
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
It works... This is tripnraver Rom v4, fixed in the build.
[HTC Sensation] LilChinchster:
Sense 4.0 looks so sexy... Pisses me off even more seeing as how HTC isn't releasing it for us awesome sensation users :(
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
im a bit confuzed though... dropbox was not included in the rom, so i installed it from market (or Play as it called now)... but i still only have like 3 gb.. but got a mail telling me to do some ****, to get 25 gb extra.

anyone tried it yet and got 25 gb automatic, or should you upload, install, and invite friends etc to get 25gb?
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
They will... I am pretty sure of it
[HTC Sensation] leftheodo:
You have to set up a dropbox account in settings/ accounts and sync (or smth like that. My phone is in Greek) to get the 25 gb
[HTC Sensation] BurnRubber90:

Mike talks about sense 4
[HTC Sensation] lws803:
We are really getting sense 4.0 after all?
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
Guess I'll be eating some crow if so....never thought they would do this at all though i guess it makes sense to do such if they move to ImageSense being pushed more as a hardware feature as opposed to how it was portrayed at their event with it being more of a Sense4.0 feature...even though its more hardware related...

This move makes sense though overall long as they market the device and sense4.0 right.

Interesting thing will be if any US carriers pick it up officially too, as they tend to be pita about their updates...
[HTC Sensation] matt95:
That's what I was saying :D
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
I wonder what kind of inside info he got... Sounds really interesting for sure!

Il be happy if only the XE will get it since its newer. Easy port ;)
[HTC Sensation] klownem:
does this mean the xe will be able to use the beats audio with third party apps if it gets sense 4.0
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Quite likely, the normal Sensation might do as well but I have a feeling HTC won't do it officially for the normal Sensation otherwise those who bought the XE might be a little peeved off.
[HTC Sensation] klownem:
I hope we get sense 4.0 then
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
Mdj got alpha 2 up..
[HTC Sensation] samuelong87:
XE owners did get Beats earphones though :)
[HTC Sensation] Audrian:
i like sense 4.0
[HTC Sensation] SSKYY:
Looks pretty nice!

Deleted Features:

- carousel effect

Who has ever used this really? :D

Has just stolen free ram and smoothness
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
I've just installed tripnravers latest v5... With working animations etc. Think even GPS working. Only missing is task manager.

Well done trip!

Sense 4.0

Wow! It looks awesome! Let's pray to HTC Guys that they release HTC Sense 4.0 for Sensation users, reasons are on xda already! I'd love to have 4.0 running on my phone right now!
[HTC Sensation] risyasin:
even on htc one x, sense 4.0 is slow :/

its better tp wait for rom developers clean it.

& i wonder the soft buttons..

sensation is missing recent apps soft button but have 2 more buttons.
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
how do you mean its slow? have you tied it on the one x? i doubt its slow on a quad-core processor. but maybe you know something that i dont?
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
guys, would you like to have a HTC Speak function? (like apples siri)

on a scale 1-10...how much do you want it... why do you want/dont want/need it.

me, i would like to try it, might use it sometimes... but if it consumes RAM, and data (extremely) then i can live w/o it. but would be cool i guess- but i would like it in swedish/albanian as well. I dont use google voice tthat much since its only english.
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
Random question to ask...
[HTC Sensation] 123Me:
Hahaha well your comment was unnecessary too. If you got an answer or a related comment to the topic... You go ahead and comment, otherwise you're not contributing in a good way.

To the subject:

I think siri is a interesting thing, but I don't think people use it very often. I find it unnatural to speak out loud what I want it to do.

I can live without it, google voice does some of it too.. but I never use it either.
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
Wow police...LOL

Calm down bud I was just trying to see what he was getting at because it was really off the wall....

Like part of a field trial testing it currently off the wall...

HTC has been working on their own version for awhile now if I remember correctly and so is Google... Will be interesting to see what's better as they can only be so good. It'll all be about how deeply integrated they are in being able to control 3rd party things, and more importantly how good their recognition service is...which I'd imagine googles is leaps and bounds above most since they've had some sort of this tech out for awhile..
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
Hahaha guys, take it easy... I was just trying to start a conversation... Some(one) seems to appreciate it, and some(one) dont... But I don't see anything wrong with it.

I hope HTC uses Google's base though.. since that one must be more integrated with the android base... But HTC makes it more useful as always. Don't think a HTC can make a complete one by itself.

Hope its more languages so more ppl can use it. In that way they can compete with siri (which is on limited languages; eng, ger, jap)
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
Haha Im not against discussing it. Just seemed random you brought it up outa nowhere. Made me think u were testing it for HTC on elevate or something else. LOL

Long as they don't start from ground up it'll be good...Google has too much of a head start to not use their system really IMHO...
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
Beats Audio buys MOG, a music service online (like the swedish Spotify) where you can stream all kinds of music to your coputer or device.

Will HTC incorporate this to Sense?

Take a look HERE
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
I'd think so.

They already have Watch so adding Music would seem logical.
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
Spotify is the best on the market, but I hope they can improve this one. Hope we can listen to music 4 free, but with some ads... And not just a paying option.
[HTC Sensation] BurnRubber90:
HTC Vivid also got Sense 3.6 Only. Hmm.. IDK what this means :D
[HTC Sensation] schoei1:
I've been trying to change the Sense 4.0 camera icon, but can't seem to find it in the drawable-hdpi file. Does anyone know where I can find the proper png to replace? Normally I would replace the camera launcher icon, but I can't find it.
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
HTC decided to close down HTCsense.com after 2 years in use...

they say they want to make it better...which is good, cos it never used to work properly for me when i tried it...

hope they come up with something better

I wish HTC would invest in better mic
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
seriously, the quality is amazing! smooth! shaky hands though, but thats a human factor. with a tripod and the quality would improve ;)

[HTC Sensation] loni90:
I've had the privilege to try out both One S and One X, and must say... Best quality phones ever made! I'm serious...

One S is amazing... Premium quality and supersuper thin.

One thing I've noticed though, is they both are very large... Even the one S is large/tall for a 4.3 inch...

But the One X is huge! My first impression was : goddamn this **** is huge! But that was my first impression with my HD2, but got used to it...

But it was also very well made.. good quality and light weight.. better quality than the Nexus.

Sense 4.0 feels much nicer on the One series... So HTC shouldent be afraid to upgrade Sensation with the new sense... Cos the One series is far superior, imho
[HTC Sensation] GuyAdams:
My One X arrived yesterday, loving the feel and the camera ability but no the battery life, its along way off the sort of run time I was achieving with my Sebsation (36 hours) but i suppose as the ROM and firmware evolves it will get better ;)

[HTC Sensation] loni90:
It's an amazing phone.. do you also feel its a lil bit to big? Or are you getting used to it?
[HTC Sensation] GuyAdams:
Its really not that much bigger than the Sensation but its thinness helps it feel smaller than it really is.

The screen is just plain amazing, the best I have seen on a smartphone period.

Yeah noticed the screenquality also... I remember back in the days when ppl were disappointed that it didn't have super amoled plus... But it turned out well!

How can i use the Holo UI? I thought the Holo UI has to be build in with Android 4.0. Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
You can install the holo theme... Best out there is Shnizlon theme... Search and download it... I've used it, and its quite good actually!
[HTC Sensation] chrjsi:
Thanks. But, what about the "stock-should-be-built-in" Holo Theme?
[HTC Sensation] shenye:
It doesn't mean you can switch to the theme. It just means apps can pull the stock Holo UI icons from any phone unless the menufacturer doesn't want to allow the phone the ability to go onto the market.

Oh, well... :(

ICS with HTC SENSE 4.0 for SONY XPERIA RAY - A Request

sir...there's a request...

please help me out...I have Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray...

but i want the HTC SENSE 4.0 with ICS on it...

can you please make that ROM fully working on RAY pleaseeeeee ??? Timescape UI is bogus...Please make a ROM for ray with ICS n SENSE 4.0 !!!

Please reply...please...

Thanks !!!
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
just wanted to say that i got the HTC One X, and sense 4.0 feels way better on the One compared to Sensation.

the screen is.... better than any Amoled ****... just perfect! true quality!
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
It would do..... Quad core vs dual core and you're forgetting, for the sensation its only a port not a real thing.

I prefer the one s to the one x anyday.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
technically it [One X] also has a fifth core...
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
But it almost never runs 4 (or 5...), it keeps to one core or two most of the time doesn't it?
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
I know that... However what I wanted to say is we will never have anything that can compare to the original. The one series is amazing. If HTC updates the senny with sense 4.0 it wouldn't be a problem for them... No-one will buy the senny anymore.

Sent from my HTC View with XDA Premium
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
So, what finally happened to the Sensation?

No sense 4.0? Still on 3.6?
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
officially yes, 3.6, but thanks God we have excellent developers so many people are already enjoying the advantages of 4.1 :)
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
I'm amazed HTC doesn't upgrade their customers to the latest... I remember discussing wether its going to be half a year or what.. they totally ignored the senny.

Well, as u said... Thanks to the devs!

Seriously a smartphone wouldn't be as much fun without the devs
[HTC Sensation] Youleck:
Still 3.6 (official of course :))
[HTC Sensation] chrisund123:
In a nutshell, yes that's right. HTC have abandoned the sensation, no jellybean or sense 4
[HTC Sensation] Livebyte:
HTC used to be the best. Ever since the release of Incredible S, everything has been going downhill.

Incredible S is the flagship of 2011 my ass.
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
Yeah, I really want to love HTC again.. as I did with my HD2. But their strategies makes it hard for me to do so.

I bought their best tablet... Never got an software update... Still on HC 3.1

Also.. bought the Sensation... They released Sensation Xe... That made me furious. My phone was not the latest.

Then I bought the One X... Boom the released One X+... Like Wtf!

Its like they don't care about their current buyers

Yeap, I've read their statement. They were talking about nuclear weapons from their competitors. They were right about that. There are a lot of good smartphones in the market so they better keep their promise. I sure hope so ;)
[HTC Sensation] Diddymies:
I quess that 50gb free storage in dropbox is just a free marketing offer. I quess you get it for free for one year..
[HTC Sensation] jaaystott:
There's no super super update between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 that HTC NEEDED to update the Sensation too?

They updated the Sensation from 2.3.1 to 2.3.4 though.
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
yeah your right about that. the 3D got the bump to 2.3.4 too. I still am always stuck in my head how they treated the EVO4G with regards to Sense Versions as they left that phone on old Sense 1.0-1.5ish after all the updates but upgraded the Sense on the EVOShift to 2.0...

Just dont think much logic can be used in the end as weve seen them decide to do different things. I get the reason Sense 3.0 didn't happen on some other phones and thats b/c the internal memory couldn't take it, but no Sense 2.0 even?

just think we all should be prepared to deal with Sense 3.6 if thats the full one they will push to first devices for ICS and then only have Sense 4.0 though Dev's.

I do hope they do push Sense4.0 to both of us and others though, im just not going to count on it till its for sure.

i do wonder if any of the features noted in that article about Sense 4.0 has been noticed in Sense 3.6? If so and enough of them are, then maybe this 3.6 is just #'ing and it will be 4.0 thats pushed to ICS devices at first??

*I did note in my thread in the evo3d section that I thought it was odd/funny that the pocketnow article claimed the camera feature a Sense 4.0 feature, when in fact the Amaze4G currently has that feature and its called "SmartShot"
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
Sorry if it has been said but what is the projected release date of sense 4.0?
[HTC Sensation] PMGRANDS:
Is there Any current devices with it yet on XDA?
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
I don't think so. Not that I've seen at least
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
sorry friends, hasent been released yet, therefor no phone got it already. (no leak either (yet), to answer PMGRANDS question)

HTC will have a pre-event event on 26th of feb, and the MWC is being held 27/2-1/3 -2012 so we expect it to be released at that time, where we also will see some new models presented (Like HTC Ville, Edge and Primo - all three with android 4.0 and hopefully sense 4.0) (not even a month left, cant wait!!)

last year we had the the Sensation leaked ROM, which i installed on my HD2 - hopefully we weill have the same story this year?
[HTC Sensation] NICG:
i got 50gb just by logging into Dropbox with ICS on i think it was like Dec. 23rd now that was a marketing offer :D
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
in years past we also had this great leaker in sinper's blog which has since been shut down. hopefully there will be leaks again, just not expecting as many with that dude being shut down...

now we have video it seems...

Alternate:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ing-htc-ville-shows-up-will-sense-4-ruin-ics/

Notice the 3buttons on the phone now like rumored before and big change from the original leaked photos.

I will say that initial impressions of it are horrible imho. It looks worse than 3.6 Sense does, the Rosie/Dock at least does.

I will say though it would make no sense to go backwards there with that dock and maybe theres hope that this was an even earlier look at Sense 4.0 than the Sense 3.6 weve seen as the video is android 4.0.1....
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
must agree... homescreen looks ****ty! the menue bar is ugly! sense 3.6 is better imo...

although all new menueeffects look beautiful, except applist- AOSP themed is better animated. BUT THE PHONE LOOKS AWESOME!!! (my new phone?)

looks a bit slow tho, but its test i guess..
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Bad times are coming for HTC. I love their products but I mean c'mone what is this? What is that stupid animation? This looks so bad and unnecessary. There are guys on xda that could have done much better job than this. I really start thinking that HTC lost their engineers to other corps. somehow.

This is funny but imo Sense 2.1 > 3.0 > 3.5 > 3.6 in terms of appearance. If this is final appearence, 3.6 > 4.0.
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
haha you like Sense 2.1 over 3.0 and 3.5??? you gotta be joking here. 3.0/3.5 are heads and shoulders above the others. I dont count 3.6/4.0 yet since we have yet to see them "officially" really.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Really. I've seen lots of people here think same way. Sense is getting bloated in every new version. I get used to Sense 3.0 and liked it but the new headers etc. in Sense 3.5 looks bad to me. I don't think Sense have a chance against stock ICS.

I really can't believe it. I was one of the "Sense lover". Look where I'm now.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
To be honest, this does look like a very early build and will probably change.

I don't think HTC would ship something this ugly.
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
cant be to much to change, since there is only (not even) a month left till MWC and the presentation of this model... :/ but yeah, they can change it a bit. They should use the stock Android appviewer, much better. this is to much iOS (left and right scroll)
[HTC Sensation] Tirozz:
Ugh that menu bar is ugly! Probably not finished I think though. Menu bar is semi-transparent in 3.6 right?
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
yeah its transparen, glass looking, fully from left to right, not this Android(stock) 2.1 look-a-like
[HTC Sensation] sgt. slaughter:
the appdrawer is the other big thing i hated in the video. WTF is that right to left scrolling doing there?

though even if thats how stock ICS drawer is i prefer the vertical one.
[HTC Sensation] android167:
It's really ugly and not fast enough. 3.6 looks nicer and it's alot faster than this 4.0 sense on video :/
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
im guessing that 4.0 actually will be fastre than 3.5/3.6 but since this is a test/developers ROM its not done yet. maybe the hardware is rubbish, but just there to keep the program running. (a HD2 in a Villes body - not likely but just speculating)

HTC needs to rethink about the menubar at homepage and the appdrawer.... looks 2009-ish
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
That's true. But even small things that you suggested would improve it a fair bit.

Also, we don't know whether the actual build itself is from yesterday or two months ago. I hope it's the latter.

I just really don't want HTC to release something that horrid on a nice piece of hardware!
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
plus, its running 4.0.1 ... we got 4.0.3 today :/
[HTC Sensation] djdant:
Looks like I'm the only one who really thinks it's awesome! It has more holo feel to it IMO
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
dont get me wrong... i love most part of it. there is only some parts as i mentioned thats keeping it down. i cant stand to look at the homescreen bar at the bottum.. and appdrawer has never been any "fun"/"good" on sense. AOSP made it fun..really like it, love the animations :)
[HTC Sensation] GuyAdams:
I certainly don't think it is offensive and Google's Gingerbread launcher was a bar at the bottom like this.

Any word on when is Sense 3.5 and ICS going to be released for Sensation XE?

Yesterday I got to choose between Sensation and XE and I chose the second one because of the better hardware which XE seems to have, but I got disapointed when I noticed I have GB and Sense 3.0 :/

A friend of mine which got Sensation I think has the Sense 3.5.
[HTC Sensation] ixon2001:
If you buy either the Sensation or the XE you will get Sence 3.0 & Gingerbread 2.3.4 out of the box.

Also the XE doesn't have better hardware it the same as the Sensation, the only things they done is added Beats audio settings & clocked the cpu to it's orginally speed of 1.5Ghz.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Good thing the Ville has a qHD resolution. It'll be easier to port.
