like the bliss mod on it like the one in rcmix 3D. didnt really like sense and got out of it once the senseless and aosp roms were out. came back to try out 3.5 and i loved it mainly because of all tweaks these hard working devs are able to put in

The speed improvements came when HTC released their 2.3.4 update. Made everything a lot smoother. The 3.5 ROMs that I've tried are still slower than LeeDROiD and Pyramid 3D, which are still Sense 3.0

[NEWS] HTC Sense 3.0 "officialy" announced for Desire S

Hi all,
I just have read a post that makes me feel "HAPPY"! HTC will very likely officially deploy Sense 3.0 for our lovely Desire S. This was a post from HTC on the official turkish facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/htctr/posts/188533611215197).
Has anybody an idea if this is really true?
edit:
check this a similar post which was made back in june
so i doubt that sense 3.0 is coming officially
but we already have fully functional sense 3.0 ROMs which are much much better than stock ROM so even if sense 3.0 is released i think its a bit late
but still ,if its true then its good news for the non-rooted people
i think we are more likely to get sense 3.5 as it was made for wvga screens & runs on the bliss with lower processor speed
Changed my mind on Sense 3.5!

I've changed my mind - I'm know that I'm not a woman - but I'm still permitted to do so!
I have this new opinion since yesterday when I installed the new BEat Mod Bliss v1.6, and can now say that I've properly tried sense 3.5 and I now love it, its much slicker then sense 3 and looks much nicer.....I can see than the leak we have isn't 100% quite yet....but can't wait for the next one and if the cook keeps working with this release than that's magic.
I don't think that the leaked Sense 3.5 low quality screen shoots did it any favours, previously the only pictures that I've seen had backgrounds that I personally found dis-tasteful (no offense meant) just my opinion.
So it put me off - but having got my hands on it for a couple of hours and played with it now and like it !
Afraid still going back to LBC for daily use for now.....but I can see the future and it's sense 3.5 shaped bye bye sense 3.0!

im testing sense 3.5 now too & i can also say that its much better than on the screenshots
but i still prefer sense 3.0 because it looks more transparent
but the animation on sense 3.5 are too good ,i think i will be switching to sense 3.5 once there are some glass like transparent skins
btw does anyone know what the charm option under settings on sense 3.5 is about?

[Q] HTC Sense 3.5?

I hate samsung's touch wiz, it's slow and laggy, even on dual core phones
I am planning to buy a new phone this holidays and I am planning to get HTC this time, I heard Sense 3.5 is good, but i haven't tried one yet.
Thoughts?
On my personal opinion Android without HTC Sense is boring.
Sense 3.5 is just amazing!

Got sense 3.5 with the new Android Revolution HD ROM and it's really nice. I really think HTC has got it working. Still I miss some features like variable icon size and possibillity to alter number of rows and collumn on the home screen. I get that with Launcher Pro though.

Mobile Device: HTC Sensation Z715E[1.188 Ghz]
Rom: Android Revolution HD 4.1.0
Kernel: stock [2.6.35.13-gc35910f]
Radio:10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
Yes, Sense 3.5 is very good and not to big.
Sorry for my bad english
Sense 3.5 Tutorial?
I'm currently using Sense 3.5 from Remix 3D and I love it. Does anyone know of a good Sense 3.5 tutorial so I can be sure i'm not missing out on some cool features? Thx!
Both Sense 3.0 and 3.5 are nicer than CM7 or MIUI in my opinion. The problem comes with stability. I had issues with occasional reboots with my stock Desire and now with AceS v3 (and especially v4) I'm getting a lot of complete freezes.
MIUI does exhibit the problem, but it's not as nice as Sense IMHO

[Q] [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.7 XE | 4.1.7 Sense 3.5

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.
Yes, 3.0 is totally better in my opinion.
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.

In my opinion, HTC Sense 3.5 sucked. Greatly.
It's slow, a bit buggy (expected) and the damn facebook for sense kept getting medieval.
That plus the far superior audio performance on the XE rom: Get the version 3.

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).
I honestly prefer 3.0 over 3.5, seemed more stable. 3.5 also didn't look too different from the 3.0.

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 ) 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.

[Q] Will Sense 3.5 apks work with earlier versions of Sense?

I'm thinking about trading my Nexus for a shift since I used to have one and I liked it better than what I have.
The only thing is that I REAALLLLYY like the new Sense 3.5, but there's currently no full rom port for the shift. So, my question is... can the 3.5 apks (like ereader, widgets, and such...) be installed on the shift with a MikRom running Sense 2.1 and 3.0?
Just wondering, bc if so I am definitely getting the shift. I miss Sense, even though I barely used it when I had the shift and the evo, I still liked to have it as an option.
So, again, can Sense 3.5 apks work on a rom with a previous version of Sense?
Great ?. Lets try and see!

They may or may not work. I'd make a Nand before you try, Mik's Roms are odexed. But if you like Sense 3.5 . You might want to check out Supreme Sense. It's a mix of Sense 2.1 and a whole lot of 3.0, including the 3.0 Rotating Rosie.

Opinion on Sense 3.5/3.6 on top of ICS

Greetings to all developers and super users, I'm just eager to know what are your opinions on the latest SenseUI on top of ICS.
In my opinion, the Sense 3.5 is just not made for ICS at all. It's just an emergency move made by HTC team to release Sense for ICS. This is due to other platforms which quickly developed their patch ICS upgrade for their devices. I't just an 'emergency landing' for HTC.
In Sense 3.6 they've fixed some minor stuff in 3.5 which doesn't fit well together with the ICS framework. BUt still, how the SenseUI in ICS gave an impression to me is that IT IS NOT WELL CONCEPTED! Not as beautiful as Sense 3.0 in GB compared to other manufaturers' UI.
So I'm just saying that I am really eager to see Sense 4.0 for ICS in the near future.
What say you guys?
if HTC had actually given it a bit more AOSP style to Sense with ICS, then it might be ok....but as it, it actually looks like poop in my honest opinion...hence I now run Virtuous Inquisition 3.0.0
True, I think at the moment, Mathias' design concept is more mature than HTC's. But the fact is that many feature in ICS is already adopted since Sense 3.0. So I think that Sense 4.0 will be a blast again
sense is awful... that is just my opinion
I don't mind a little bit of sense (Some comes in handy sometimes) but they basically killed the beauty of ICS with there **** sense overlay. At least color stuff correctly. It looks very hurried and just glued together on htcs part. With that said virtuous Inq took out all the crappy junk that HTC put in and made it great again.
I'm actually considering a move to Virtuous ROM. Because it's the best AOSP so far I saw plus everyone's been using that.
I agreed with the glued part. It is really like just glued in a hurry. Not like the usual SENSEUI..
Yes sense 4.0 will totally change Ics UI....we have to wait some days.
The question is WHEN...
there are some leaks about it.. but not convincing enough...
Just hope it will be epic as ever ^^
sense 3.5/3.6 doesnyt really fit to ics, htc got to rethink their vision of new sense, but first news gives us hope that htc has right direction
on the other hand i can't work without sense, its the most complex launcher and i've tried working without it, but it was pointless, always comming back to sense
Personally,i just want aosp based rom. I hate Sense and always did dating back from my old Wildfire lol.
Using HyperSense CM7 ATM
ok, after I tried using Virtuous 3.0.0, I decided to go back to ARHD.
reason??
Because after using the AOSP based ROM, I realized how Sense made life easier. Although I must say that the AOSP has better design than Sense 3.5/4.6, but there are still some functions which Sense came really handy with.
So mean while, I'm coming back to ARHD ^^
It's insulting. 3.6 is such a minor "upgrade" to 3.5 while 4.0 is a massive upgrade (no quotes) to 2.3.x, putting that ****lick overlay on top of AOSP totally kills it. That, and the gray color scheme introduced in 3.5 is aweful, it's so dull. Sense 3.0 is the last decent Sense.
I agree, actually maybe Sense 3.0 was so great is because it has huge improvement from the previous Sense.
I would love to have ICS stock camera app in htc sense..
i think sense 3.6 is just a quick update to shut all of us up about wanting ICS
after some time we'll get a better sense version...
remember sense 2.1? it was absolutely the same in froyo and gingerbread but when HTC announced the sensation it was rocking sense 3.0 and everyone was drooling over it
While the first pictures and videos of ICS emerged, I told my self "nah, that can't be it. They said they where about to make it look better... "
When ICS was officially announced, I was deeply disappointed, that it really looked as ugly as it did in the leaked versions.
So I'm really enjoying sense 3.6, even if I had hoped for more.

Personally Im not really looking forward to ICS with Sense 3.6. ICS is one thing but IMO Sense 3.6 isnt exactly different from Sense 3. The only thing I like about 3.6 is its camera but it isnt really a make or break decision for me.
If HTC rolls out ICS and Sense 4.0 for Sensation sometime later, I do hope they'll have better camera features (not over Sense 3 of course, even 3.6 camera trumps over 3.0 lol)
But I think Sense 3.6 is a compensation of ICS design. Because the original ICS has no menu button and Sensation has menu button.
