rquinn I have to believe Google wants the same thing.

Google puts a lot of work into the Stock Android experience. ICS is by a huge margin better from a UI standpoint than any version that has come before it.

Trouble is, unless you're a phone geek, you won't see it.

I can only think of one or two devices besides the Nexus that DON'T skin Android.

I want to try a Huwai device for this reason. I've decided that after I'm done with this device, I'm buying a Pure Google one. If the release of the Nexus 7 and the Galaxy Nexus to the play store is any indication, Google is going into the hardware business full time, and I can't wait to see what they do.

Skins can be great, but they should be an option that you can enable or disable with a button click.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] craig0r:
I personally love Sense, but it's what works for you, obviously. HTC's Mail app has the best Exchange support I've ever seen in Android. Granted I've never used Samsung's mail client, so maybe it's comparable, but everything else is either really flaky, incomplete, or ugly. I actually wish they would bring back the My Shelf application that was on a few phones (like the DHD.) Of all the eReaders I've tried, it's been my favourite. I also haven't seen any calendar app/widget combination that has, IMO, come close to the HTC one in terms of fluidity and completeness.

But, on the topic of Jellybean: As someone else mentioned, I'm in no rush. This phone's damn near perfect. It's almost always buttery smooth, so I don't think Project Butter will improve it a whole lot. Google Now and the improved notifications would be nice though, I guess.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
Project butter will, think of it like a tune up to a car, but a tune up to the Android code, probably a copy of linaro code on cm9.

The camera and clock app are the primary things for me sticking with Sense. Stock AOSP clock app is pitiful.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Uberchu:
Sense is crap. Even the Touchwiz from the Galaxy S2 was smoother and more stable. Trust me, I've been the owner of both.

Sense 4 - Slower than my grandma when all the pages have widgets

Touchwiz - Tanks all the widgets like a boss (even on the S2)

Sense 4 crashed constantly on me. Not so with Touchwiz or any other skin for that matter. I only hope that CM10 or AOKP for Jellybean is released and ported quick so I won't have to deal with Sense at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Papi4baby:
Maybe in your experience, but Sense 4 has been great to me.

I just want vanilla as an option.

Like a previous member mentioned, it should be as easy as hitting a switch on the software. Also the ability to update it as soon as google releases stuff for the nexus line.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TKTAB911:
Just because you've used one phone with sense 4 doesn't mean its all bad. I like how you didn't even note what phone you had that had sense on it, just touchwiz on your SG2. If you try to prove a point, at least have a valid argument and state all the facts. Not just the one trying to make you seem 100% right, as there easily could have been a virus or infection of the software or some faulty hardware holding it back. I had sense on my old Wildfire. Alltel Wildfire, so couldn't mod it because nobody else had it anyways. But long story short, 528mhz processor, and 384 RAM which was even less because the phone itself had to run android/display. Now that, Was a sad little excuse of a smartphone. Sure it had sense aswell, and that made me uninterested in sense just because it was so incredibly buggy and sluggish. But from that, to a dozen other phones, and now One X. Sense definitely is better on a phone that can support it. ;D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Uberchu:
I have the AT&T version of the HTC One X, thank you very much. I would've thought it was obvious considering this is the HTC ONE X FORUM.

I flashed Cleanrom on my HTC One X. Sense 4 still sucked. I checked for malware. None. I installed Nova Launcher. Suddenly everything's better.

Hmm...I wonder what the problem is?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bloodrain954:
i agree, i replaced my sense launcher a long time ago, golauncher rocks, but currently i'm rocking Apex launcher for that pure ICS feel, it does a great job of it too :-) everything is nice and smooth, they way it should be.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zounduser:
ur crazy bro!!!!!! i for 1 got the ONE X simply because i love HTC and "HTC SENSE"!!!!!! if u wanna run something senseless then dont get HTC....... plain and simple!!!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
The point is, android is open and about choice, I lik ethe HOX for the formfactor of the phone and the gorgeous screen. Sense should be an app I can get on the play store (or not) like any other launcher.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zounduser:
im sick of hearing people whine, and complain about HTC SENSE!!! look........if u dont want to run sense, then dont!!!!! go buy a gnex, or some other device!! theres plenty out there!! and heres a question..........why would u even buy a ONE X, if all ur gonna do is gripe about SENSE?!! its pretty simple really........if u dont like sense........dont buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I didn't gripe. I simply want the choice. My complaint is about all skins on Android.

:rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zounduser:
no because htc sense is a major part of htc and people know that. and then they wanna turn around and complain about it? ridiculous! DONT BUY HTC IF U DONT LIKE SENSE. how could u guys not like sense? especially sense 4? its perfect! everything is perfect in sense 4. imo. htc is the best! hands down!

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

sorry bro, i wasnt calling u out personally. but dont u agree?

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

ok im done, but will end with this......i wasnt calling one person out. im saying in general. the reason they are skinned, is because thats what makes them different. imagine if they werent skinned..........ya people could choose there own skin, but we wouldnt have htc, samsung, lg, motorolla, or whatever. the skin is what personalizes the device, and imprints the business in a selling point. the gnex is straight google. but its also a samsung product. im not gonna ramble on and on about it. im simply saying there are many options out there for people. if u dont like something u dont have to buy it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Matt1408:
Please, tell me all about these AOSP Android phones that are not cheap Chinese clones.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robertmoore208:
I agree with this fella, it's along the same line as jumping into a pool and then complaining that the water is wet .... You don't like sense? Well it makes "SENSE" not to buy sense
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] smnrock:
some time i feel, why these community forums has not integrated options like "Unlike" or just opposite something to "Thanks" button :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bloodrain954:
I wouldn't of bought an HTC phone if it didn't have the best hardware at the time. Sense just slows everything down, it has 'some' useful features, but nothing special conpared to other launchers that do a better, more efficient job and not to mention alot smoother.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheLostBuddha:
HTC Sense and those that think it defines the phone

I wanted to throw out my two cents, without mudslinging, out here as I see lots of conflicting interest.

I bought my HTC One X (ATT) because of 4 things:

Battery Life - Reported Amazing on many sites I went to.

Screen - Most advanced LCD screen I've seen - Eff AMOLED displays (aka samsung phones...)

Size/weight - Light, thin, easy to hold, good quality build.

Hardware - S4/Krait chip, I liked that it's not following the standards put forth. Call quality - emphasized by good hardware and a radio built into the chipset.

You put those together in any other brand without sense and I would have bought it then as well.

Examples of why I didnt buy....

samsung: Friend owns one, he has JellyBean - I love the new feel, I hate his phones feel.

apple - Hated the mandatory annual upgrades and lack of customization (without going JB/fighting apple non stop)

Quit mudslinging saying "If you dont like sense dont buy it" - Thats like saying "Man I want that Ferrari, but the interior is horrid AND the Dealership says I void my warranty if I have it reupholstered" **Edit** - And you're a d*ck for even not liking the current upholstry.

Sense is OK - With CleanRom SE 3.1.1 I am fairly happy with it. Sense eats a bit much more memory than I like, but I can live because he has tweaked memory usage enough that quite a few apps stay open. (Shameless plug for a hard working Dev :cough scrosler cough:)

Just my .02

OH.. and I can't wait for kernel source and some ambitious dev's to build us all a JB rom..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zounduser:
No, its not even close to saying the same thing!!! Most if not all of us cant afford ferraris!! we can however afford phones, and theres many choices out there. So dont call me a mudslinger...or whatever it is u call it.......because i stand behind my previous statements, firmly! I want to hear good things about my device in the devices section...which this is. So go start a thread somewhere in android general about how u bought the wrong device. Because i for 1 dont wanna hear about u guys complaining about htc sense......when u knew thats exactly what u bought! Now Listen to ur comment bro......it makes no sense @ all????? Ok i want a jet but had to settle for a hang glider! Lmfao!!!! Come on dude, really.... Im GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN!!! IF U DONT WANT A SENSE DEVICE......THEN DONT BUY IT!!!!!

Wow, I have never met such blatant ignorance on these forums before. Quit trying to force your rationalization on my comment.

One. I never used your name or directed my comment at anyone specifically - glad you think the world revolves around you.

Two. The Ferrari was a comparison. If you're too ignorant to understand comparisons It's not my fault and my comment is very solid.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheLostBuddha:
No hate intended. My friends phone looks like a sweet phone, but it didn't feel like it when I held it. I also don't like AMOLED screens. Samsung makes good hardware, they just seem to feel cheap in hand to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zounduser:
And ya u were using my comment to reply on. Look.........im just tired of hearing people complain about sense. If u dont like it, u dont have to buy it. Period.

on August 15th you will no longer be able to download Adobe Flash from Google Play.

So it might be a good idea to backup the APK.

[Nexus 7 General] Vertron:
It still works with Jelly Bean from what I've read.

You never know, developers might decide to update flash themselves.
[Nexus 7 General] neok44:
i've confirmed myself by running jelly bean on my galaxy nexus that flash does work.

i watched an entire episode of stargate sg-1 on amazon prime video and it was perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] Souai:
probably old news, but in the google nexus 7 manual that google has put on their books store, it states that you can still download the normal android browser from the play store if you want to watch flash videos.

otherwise, with chrome, just go to www.youtube.com/html5 and enable html5 videos.
[Nexus 7 General] Meaple:
Tbh, HTML5 is the way to go. The only downside to Google not supporting Flash anymore in Chrome is that a lot of content out on the web still uses Flash, like games, etc. But with the web as it is (HTML5 and CSS3) there is no reason for websites not to develop for these technologies. It would make the removal of plugins like Flash so that content will run in the web browser natively. In a few years things will change though.
[Nexus 7 General] mwalt2:
Is there any way to play amazon prime videos without flash? I've just been using the browser and flash so far...
[Nexus 7 General] neok44:
You can download the app from the kindle fire but it is very buggy on any device other than the fire and nook color (same resolution). Also it will not work if your rooted.

Firefox, DolphinHD, ICS Browser+ all support flash and work on the Nexus 7 and probably better than the app will.
[Nexus 7 General] jptech:
Flash Player

Here: Adobe Flash Player 11.1.111.5
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Google just seems to be pushing the envelope to get rid of Flash, Lol

Everyone needs to start developing HTML5 anyways, what better way than this
[Nexus 7 General] Xi2wiked:
I have a current flash .apk stored in my dropbox already. I'm not too worried. Now hopefully people like amazon will start using html5 soon....
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
It wasn't Google's choice, Adobe doesn't want to put anymore time and money into Flash for any mobile platform.
[Nexus 7 General] BamAlmighty:
It's too bad Flash doesn't die all together. As long as it is maintained on the desktop, developers will still use it and widen the mobile/desktop web fragmentation.

Devs need to start using html5 PERIOD and Flash just needs to DIE. It had a purpose at one point, but in modern times Flash no longer has a place.
[Nexus 7 General] fenturi:
Humm I do not agree, do a search on all the new flash based web games coming out. Also have you SEEN the "tools" for html5 development? I guess they are fine if you are a C++ guy, but for design they suck and no where near flash.

The up side is many things can be saved out as html5 right from flash.

The reality though is you do design for desktop and for mobile for most sites, so the fragmentation is here to stay, and flash is going to be part of the desktop.

I was wondering if it was safe to delete the stock message app. I do not have text message plan and I use Google voice exclusively. If freezing that app won't cause me to reflash my rom would it be possible to still be charged for SMS if someone sends me a message, even if the app is frozen?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ...Awesome...:
Good question! I think regardless whether the app is there or not and someone sends u a message as long as its sent you will get charged!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] md1008:
Would deleting the app cause my rom a never ending force close?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Hmm, it's possible that if your phone never recieves it, due to not having the app functioning, that you will not be charged. I would ask you service provider to be sure, though.

Many, many moons ago I froze messaging.apk on stock froyo and the ROM worked fine. I would make a Nandroid and then freeze the app. If you have no issue, you will be fine with deleting the apk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
Have you guys considered using Google Docs to host information about your ROM? Reason why I'm asking is because typically there are more than just one person working on a ROM. When the ROM is updated, sometimes the OP of the dev thread isn't available to update it. As you probably already know, Google Docs allows multiple people to edit it at the same time, is dynamically updated as changes are made, and allows you to see the revision history too. I believe they can look better and flow better than a post can too. I made an example for AOKP:

http://goo.gl/N3BC3

http://goo.gl/TKeme

For AOKP, Chris41g, times_infinity, and TCP could update the Google Doc whenever they feel like it and have new information to us quicker than having to rely on on times_infinity stopping what he's doing to update it. The OP could just be a link or whatever to the Google Doc. Just a thought for all the devs.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
there is normally a big difference between hackers and developers, so any CM developer hardly could crack the linux kernel or environment to fix root.

ive seen hardcore android developers not knowing their way around the linux platform simply because they are programmers only.

anyways it require hacking to fix root for now. not an alternate custom rom, since that cannot even be loaded onto the phone.

one of the issues right now, is also that the normal unpacking of the kd files does not work for this p880, which worked on other previous models. so its not only the rooting which is the problem.
