This would be good. Honestly the base Android 4.2 doesn't bring many improvements over 4.1 on phones. The multi-user thing was for tablets and PhotoSphere probably gets outdone by Sense 5.0's new Zoë features etc. anyways. Would be good to simply release Sense 5.0 over 4.1. Although us number junkies wouldn't mind another Android version.

Re: HTC Sense 5.0 rumours?

Yeah Jelly Bean 4.2 update will come with Sense 5

But current scenario is we are still waiting for sense 4+ jelly bean 4.1.1 OTA update

It's still in testing phase.

I think We'll receive sense 5 update in January 2014 :confused:

HTC One S with S4 processor will receive the update very soon

AW: HTC Sense 5.0 rumours?

I'm lucky if we get at least 4.1.2 ha ha
[HTC One S] evil89:
Actually I'm using a CM 10.1 nightly and I'm quite happy. I can reach about 2 days of common usage.

While with stock Sense 4+ and Android 4.1.1 I have to recharge my phone about at 6PM.

Just pointing out at HTC changelog for Sense 4+.

"Battery improvements"

Yeah, whatever. With the oldest OS (4.0.4) I was still capable of a day of usage.

If rumours are right this newer Sense 5.0 is lighter and less heavier than 4+.

So, I'll keep with 10.1 until Sense 5.0 come out. If it's going to be disappointing as 4+ I'll still be able to a comfortably, stable and battery-saver CM 10.1.
[HTC One S] .TanTien:
I don't think that we will get Sense 5. I think we'll stay with Sense 4. The Sensation got an ICS update when the One series already was launched but it stayed with Sense 3 without getting Sense 4. HTC wants you to buy their new devices with new software features you can't get on older devices.
[HTC One S] slainbybeats:
AW: HTC Sense 5.0 rumours?

If we won't get it, someone will port it. I am pretty sure that it will run on the one S in the end.

Did you take a look at HTC One UI? do you really want that WP8 like homescreen? I personally hate it. I like to keep my things clean not crowded
[HTC One S] gelo01:
Re: HTC Sense 5.0 rumours?

I thought blink feed could be disabled? And that we may preserve our old homescreen navigation. My concern is that, do we really have to adapt with the vertical scrolling of the app drawer, coz it kinda feel like the gingerbread days imo..
[HTC One S] nickmgray:
The HTC Sense 5 launcher drawer on the HTC One does take a little while to get used to. While launcher drawers typically hold all of your apps, the one on Sense 5 is more dynamic, removing apps which are placed on the home screen and also allowing users to organize the apps in the launcher drawer into folders. This means you'll be changing the way you customize your home screens.

In the hour I played around with the phone, I spent quite a bit of time adding widgets to the home screen and pulling together categories of apps into folders in the drawer. everyone will be using these new features a bit differently, but it does allow for some pretty unique setups.
[HTC One S] slainbybeats:

[HTC One S] alfredino85:
For me maximusHD works fine.. Very fast and smooth..
[HTC One S] fantabrothe:
what a pity we cannot trust in an official update, i still hope so, since maximusrom is done using an htc dev code...

I've read the whole thread and i'm quite scared about the risky procedure, i've rooted several terminals but i've never seen a so complex procedure.

A lot of users have successfully update the phone, some others (probably more skilled than me) almost for sure will throw the wonderful phone against a wall, since dead.

I' still don't know if taking the train" worths the risk at this moment....nobody can still downgrade to other custom or stock image.

Maybe is better to wait some days.

Anyone know if HTC will release the source for 4.2.2 kernel for One S? Are they under an obligation to do so even if they don't officially release 4.2.2 Sense 5?

Someone actually has to release the kernel source.. else it violates the GPL..

HTC might not mind as they have not given out the update officially.. [MENTION=494185]LlabTooFeR[/MENTION] should release the source, but maybe he doesn't have access to it..

We wanted an update, he gave it to us.. now who releases the source is the question.. :confused:

I am from India and was told that my Model is not Ville and its Ville C2, so cud anyone tell me whether it will be available in India too? My brother has HTC Butterfly updated to Sense 5 and its awesome. So please let me know regarding such update to my phone. thanks in advance :good:

Thank you for contacting HTC.

With regards to your inquiry kindly note that unfortunately the latest version of the jellybean with Sense 5 upgrade is not released for the HTC one S, both the S4 or the S3. It is confirmed that all the HTC One S not only the S3 that the device model itself will not receive further Android OS updates and will remain on the current version of Android and HTC Sense.

As a loyal HTC customer We realize this news will be met with disappointment, HTC devices has a combination of a unique HTC hardware and software experience and a core operating system, and the HTC One S is designed to be optimized with our amazing camera and audio experiences.

However kindly note that as a HTC customer we will forwarded all your concerns and feedback and advice in the departments in charge and if you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.

For further details, please note that you can contact us via support line or via email following the below link: (blah blah)

Well all I have to say is F**K You HTC! (pardon the french)

We have MaximusHD which shows just how good and how well Sense 5 makes our phones run, its amazing the fluidity and speed I can stand toe to toe with any Samsung S3 or any quad core for that fact. What hurts most about their generic load of boll*cks above is they had the chance to make an amazing phone truly outstanding with JB 4.2.2 and Sense 5! Thank god for the developers on XDA and I urge ALL to root and flash MaximusHD, you wont believe the difference.
[HTC One S] IntelligentAj:
I think the only thing stopping a lot of people from flashing MaximusHD is the S-off requirement. I want to give it a go but I'm not big on S-off
[HTC One S] badmoj0:
When was the last update they released for one S? I can't even remember, but did they even update the device for a full year after the release?
[HTC One S] Joh@n:
The last update was in december 2012. I was one of the early birds and have the device since May 2012. So only 7 months of support instead of 18.
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
Glad it's been made clear that this phone will not be updated anymore. As I am now CLEAR with my next choice of phone, which will definitely NOT be another HTC.

Shame as the last 4 devices I've had have all been HTCs
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
well it's a shame from every point of view also I really don't know what I could buy right now because I don't like sense 5 that much...too minimalistic, no widget, no 3d effect, horrible unlock screen.
[HTC One S] salutcemoi:
Well basically this is why I went with the S4 and not the One

I switched from the One S recently

And I agree that Sense 5 is way too minimalistic

I thought I was going to root the S4 because it's way easier to root - well at least in Canada (bootloader is not locked), not to mention that flashing ROMs is easier

Turns out I havent rooted it yet; some basic features don't require rooting/or a launcher : menu button, kill-all button in the multitaslting screen; you can also change the system fonts right from the settings, etc etc

Also you can choose different unlock effects (lockscreen)

Plus, Samsung is good with Android updates
[HTC One S] secretkloud:
So I sent another...

I sent this in reply...

I complained about the lack off updates on my phone and you point out that I'm not the only one. How is that supposed to help? Is it supposed to make me feel better? Should I go out and dance for joy that others have also had their precious, beloved phones consigned to the scrap heap less than a year after purchase? IS THAT RIGHT?!

Again you miss the point, and I think it's deliberate. We all know the reason the S4 version isn't getting the update is because of the S3 version. There is a android 4.2 custom ROM available via forums that work only on the S4 version, proving that it can be done, that HTC did it and then decided not to release it. If you choose to do that, the very least you can do is provide tools for developers to do whatever they can to help those of us stuck in this state. If HTC chooses, for whatever reason, not to continue supporting the One S, at least provide tools to unlock the phone (and I mean UNLOCK, S-OFF, bootloader, everything) and let us do what we want with it. At this point that is all you can do to restore even a little goodwill. And you need all the goodwill you can get. The HTC One won't save the company if older phones belonging to older HTC fans are dismissed the way HTC is doing to the One S.

As a suggestion, has HTC thought of a partial swapping of the HTC One S C2? Those with the One S can mail or take to a centre to have it assessed, and newer HTC phones of choice can then be sold at a commensurate discount. The old phones can be refurbished with newer SOCs and resold in third world countries like India and Nigeria at a very competitive price. The design of the One S is still one of the best in the industry. Everybody will be happy, including myself. I wouldn't even mind a refurbished One S with a Snapdragon 400 or better (preferably a 600, since we're dreaming), and I'm sure many, many of us out there would jump at the chance. Please think about it.

Thank You...

[HTC One S] fade2black101:
It's a shame, and I had 7 HTC phones in a row harking back to the old Windows Mobile days up until Android and even the HTC Mozart Windows Phone. My dad uses the One S now and I've had a Note II for the best part of a year.

HTC devices have a lot going for them and I really prefer the feel of the phones compared to Samsung devices and I much prefer Sense UI (you grew to love it back during the windows mobile era given how ghastly stock windows was). Unfortunately, they appear to be shooting themselves in the foot. There was no reason why this couldn't be updated. This news won't affect me directly but I'll certainly think twice about getting another HTC phone anytime soon even though I like the HTC One

Samsung aren't perfect either though and they also leave a lot to be desired...
[HTC One S] benJX:
The One S and HTC Android phones in general are so differents, so great... I can't believe this will be my last one.

So now we all agree on the fact that the support of HTC is a shame..

..BUT,

Even if the One S will not be updated anymore it stills a real pleasure to use it everyday. And we're here on xda because we want the best of our phone.

What I want to say is that my next phone will probably be a HTC because I can find all I want on xda. The community for HTC phone is here and this is where I can update my phone.

HTC decided to not release the Sense 5 update ? I agree it's lamentable. But we got one here on this forum.

Sure, it's not as simple as an official RUU but we have one, and flashing all the stuff is part of buying Android ! If I didn't want to do all that, I would rather buy Windows Phone LOL...

So buying other than HTC will not change anything because as long as I'll buy a Android phone I will flash and unlock.

Now if tomorrow I buy a HTC, updated or not, I'm sure it will be a excellent phone as the One S is, and finally this is the most important !

just shifting to nexus 5 or GS4
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Personally I think what we have in the latest stock isn't bad at all.

I've been running Maximus HD for over a month. Today I reverted my phone back to stock.

The biggest noticeable difference was blinkfeed. So just download Flipboard from the playstore. :P

I'm going to run stock for a while to see the difference in battery life that I had on Maximus (which was good)

It's been so long since I have run stock, I'm enjoying it.
[HTC One S] Paulie76:
I've been considering it lately. I made the decision that I'm probably going to the Nexus 5 at the beginning of december. Currently running MagioRom, and having NONE of the issues that others are having for some reason...but that's a whole other story.

Part of me wants to run back to stock for the last couple of weeks before getting the Nexus, just for nostalgia's sake.
[HTC One S] fantabrothe:
I'm still stuck at stock rom, not really convinced about the efforts/risks in updating to maximus hd...my phone it's still awesome this way, even if i'd like something new....using nova launcher i've abandoned the sense look some months ago, so probably the best choice for me would be a quite stable cm release based on 4.3/4.4 rom...

Re: HTC Sense 5.0 rumours?

Very early to suggest but the walkthrough I watched on YouTube by Phonedog, made it look very appealing well to me anyway
[HTC One S] MattDN93:
It does look appealing and I hope it might bring battery life improvements. Sense 4+ is great with Project Butter, way smoother then ICS but it's draining my battery more then usua: medium to no usage my phone is dead in 18 hours, hard usage 8 hours, whereas on ICS those figures would be 1 day 18 hours low to medium use and 20 hours heavy. Using Snapdragon BatteryGuru to see if it helps but it would be nice if Sense 5.0 brought better battery performance. Global variants will see Sense 5.0 but its a shame that HTC isn't even saying there'll be Sense 5 for carrier locked phones at all?

HTC One s Sense 5 WoW

Wondering if your HTC One X, One X+, One S or the Butterfly will be getting the new Sense 5 from the HTC One? Well, you don't have to anymore, as HTC has revealed that it does plan to do so.

Replaying to query on Facebook, HTC clarified that it does intend to update the above mentioned handsets with the new Sense 5 software features from the new HTC One, except for those tied to the hardware. We believe these may be the new camera related features such as Zoe but other than that you can look forward to the refreshed UI and the new HTC BlinkFeed.

As for the availability of the updates, HTC said it would be coming 'in the next few months'. Note, all the devices mentioned above are the international models. No information has been provided regarding the carrier specific versions of these devices.
