Sense 3.6 l Features l Changelog - HTC Sensation

Ive just seen on Mike1986s ARHD thread that he has a rom in it with Sense 3.6. Having googles and had a good search i find no mention of this new iteration so i thought id start a thread for people to post new features and changelogs.
Ill make a list of features and things people find in the 2nd post as they are discovered.
Post away and let everyone know your findings!!

Changelog:
Recent apps readded in notification pull-down
Google search-bar is smaller
Setting new widgets is a bit different, you know when you are about to choose a special widget
Background in taskbar is a bit different
Slightly more grey finish to everything
SOME SCREENSHOTS HERE (thanks to loni90)

Good thread.

It's probably incremental. No visual changes, just under the hood.

I hope "location" or localisation in france will work

Yeah Mike has said there are some major bug fixes in 3.6 but no mention of visual changes yet. Still waiting for the upload to finish then we can check it out!

Looking forward to seeing the changelog

ok according to THIS thread there are no visual changes in 3.6, just bug fixes. Just thought id put it out there so people dont get their hopes up!!

yup i figured as much, i guesse their just moving closer to 4.0

What is the difference between 3.5 and 3.6?

I hope HTC woke up and brought back the scrolling wallpapers

I'm just curious as to why there would be a new firmware for 3.6 there wasn't a need for a new firmware when going from 3.0 to 3.5 and that was big changes (visual). Why the new firmware if its only a "minor " change? Hmmmm interesting *anticipation sets in*
I'm mobile right now

After a bit of arguing and commotion Mikes links are now back up! Head over to his thread, check the 4th post to download. Be warned though because of all the attention the thread's been getting my download is REALLY slow (might just be my connection though!!)

The firmware is for the ICS ROM part, not the sense part.
Am I right?

Actually, probably both together as Sense is so deep in ICS framework.

Sense 3.6 restores the Recent Apps list in the drop-down notification bar that went missing in the ICS version of Sense 3.5

Thats cool tho.. But, i got used to sexy task manager tho... its still there ofcourse..

The initial Setup Wizard is also slightly different at the Google Account bit. I think it lacked the icons for things like GMail, Market etc. so it was more plain IIRC.

sense 3.6 brings a more Android 4.0 design integration... not much but in some places. Like when you install something. An app, or set face unlock or anything. you see a google native look. I like it.
app logos are a bit smaller?
Google search-bar is smaller.
setting new widgets is a bit different, you know when you are about to choose a special widget.
background in taskbar is a bit different, and speeking of taskbar, you now got "recent apps" back again, been missing in sense lately. (but you´ve mentioned it already)
slightly more grey finish to everything, dont like it, seems washed-off. would like it darker, and more black-ish

Screenies?

awesome love it, like i was saying in the other topic, if you could just get the icons moreup to date to the actual epic gtalk, market, maps etc.. i would love it so much more. im just reallly ocd on the look of my phone, and i just realllly do not like the current icons even for the cm6 theme, just something about them.
and I know sense is a mess compared to stock android, but what is the chance of getting things like the dialer?
and lastly ( i know lots of q. but I LOVE the epics look) any chance of getting some of the epics sounds, like when you click on something on the epic the clicking sound instead of the evos?
screen shots would be very helpful

if your downloading directly from the evo
4shared for some reason has a problem with the evo
now you can still download it
just change to mobile version and download (might be the other way around and have to be desktop version)
and with that last piece of help i must sleep it's 12:30 AM yawn
if only we could get the best part of the touchwiz interface, the notification panel. this looks pretty nice though, be great for a senseless rom.
Got some boot looping (sense version). I wiped before flashing too. I did download to my computer then I transfered to SD card. Maybe its just my phone....
Very nice work though! Thanks!!! Ill keep my eye on the thread.
When can we expect the cm6 version?

i am actually focusing on the sense version atm but download mrcharlesiv's from his post i am basing mine off of his with few changes
changes being a little further themed
_____________________________________________________________________________
EDIT:
also will have an update later today if not tomorrow with a few changed things
and added a themed dialer and contacts (keeps original dialer also)
added media folder so has ringtones and notifications from epic (optional)
and i'm gonna set it up to remove some apk's like htc music, htc clock, htc lockscreen and mail as they are just duplicates and not needed to have multiple of them
will keep htc gallery as it links with camera
Great work on the theme. I love this when I was on cm6 and missed it when I switched to Fresh. I have a couple of questions though. How would I make the notifications bar clear, when you pull it down? Is ther anyway to get the the battery with the number read out like the cm6 rom?
Is there a way to load this without all the AOSP apps?
yeah the galaxy s notification bar would be amazing, but seems hard, i just would prefer an updated icon pack.

well i did put out an update just now
the app icons are not really changed from what they were (as they are the same as epic with some from the galaxy) and the galaxy s notification bar with the shortcuts is beyond my knowledge so i didn't do that
things changed
removed htc lockscreen (now vanilla lock)
removed htc clock
removed htc deskclock
removed htc Music
removed Mail (still have Email though)
removed htc contacts (People)
kept Htc Gallery as it links to camera
added epic4g themed dialer/contacts
added media as requested (from epic 4g system dump)
changed a few icons but almost all are the same
and i think thats all hope i didn't leave anything out
EDIT: looking into putting the Stock Android Browser in it +themed (i Can NOT stand the sense browser) -ACCOMPLISHED
EDIT2: apperently i can only get the contacts and dialer to show up if i flash something else first then flash this over it so i'm kinda stumped so i'm trying to get that fixed up
I HATE ISSUES LIKE THIS!
they do work but have to be installed differantly (contacts and phone)
_________________________________________________
CM6 release is gonna push back a little as flashing it causes battery to display as just a question mark battery on nightly 9/7
i was wondering, say i apply the all theme and you have an update later, can i just flash the update over the current one? or will doing that mess it up?
also i tried flashing the theme over fresh's new 2.2 rom and no go. just keeps cycling at the fresh evo boot screen

alright i have at least the theme and media out now for OTA but flashing apps causes boot-loop
and i have been on cyanogenmod recently so i did not follow sense Roms and was unaware that an OTA was released
i have several problems in the theme that i have separate fixes for but i am hoping to get it incorporated into the actual theme later on
and now that there is an ota i will focus on that rather then the older one but will at least fix it when i have time
and with this update on progress i'm gonna take a break for a while
Looking really nice. I was wondering, is it possible to just pull the App drawer from the Epic4G/Galaxy S to replace the one in Sense? I like the horizontal scrolling for apps, but would like to stick to Sense for everything else. What do ya think?

[ROM] 10/28 MikG 2.58 Senseless, and Synergy rls1 senseless, The Classic V0.0.3

OK server is back up.
Click here for all downloads, present and past
All previous versions are again available.
::NOTE ON ALL LOCKSCREEN INCLUDED VERSIONS::
The lockscreen-included versions of the MikG roms 2.57 and beyond have had several apk's left intact to maintain the ability to change the lockscreen shortcuts and style. After you have customized the Lockscreen to your liking you may use a root explorer type app and remove those apk's. Or you can use titanium backup and freeze them so that in the future if you wish to change the lockscreen again you can un-freeze them. Either way you choose to do it, here are the two apk's.
Rosie.apk/odex (will be called "sense" in titanium Backup)
MyHTC.apk/odex

MikG 2.58 WIRED Theme for NOLOCK 10/26/2011 10:18PM CST
MynWarm Themes customized for RLS1 Senseless roms. On DL Page below 10/25/2011 3:25cst

:: DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THESE ROMS ARE:::
These are all senseless roms, Will have versions with and without the Lockscreens eventually. They maintain all the sense programs except for rosie and it's widgets and customization utilities. In terms of launchers, rosie is very large. Just for ease of explaination purposes, here is a comparison *of course ram usage is more important than this, but you will get the point and I can't quote amounts of free ram because of different AMM settings and not having an evo myself anyways*
Synergy RLS1 Original download Size::: 297MB
Synergy RLS1 Senseless ::: 254MB
Synergy RLS1 Senseless NO HTC Lockscreen::: 208MB
So you get to drop 43MB by getting rid of rosie and it's widgets and another 46MB by getting rid of the Lockscreen and all the leftover stuff that can then be removed by having the lockscreen and rosie gone. And remember these include GoLauncher already LOL. You get the point.
It turns out making everything perform smoother and faster, and you get to use whatever launcher you prefer without rosie and garbage running in the background.
HTC versions of SMS, Email, Contacts, Dialer, etc are left there because they really work well together.
:: BUGS ::
None for any of the current roms, please let me know what you find.
::CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!::
All credit goes to the original creators, Aamikam, etc. You can click my ads on the download page for my work, but if you really want to donate to someone, send some cash their way.

Great idea I was gonna do this myself but haven't had time...senseless Rom seem to save battery life on gingerbread sense roms. By the way is there a way u can just include the 3.0 message apk also .
Thanks

If you are wanting a Senseless Rom why not just use an Asop or CM Rom? You can still add Go launcher or LPP or ADW launchers and Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widgets. As of now with ASOP with gingerbread 2.3.4 you don't have all the camera or gps issues you have with Sense 3.0. And most sense ports now are using a mix of the older sense's (1.0-2.0 and 2.1).

I also run a "rosieless" sense rom. I don't use the Rosie launcher or the widgets. I DO enjoy all of the Sense applications a lot better than aosp apps. Sense also has a much tighter integration with its different apps, Facebook, etc. The dialer looks up names as you dial, aosp does not do that. The messaging and mail apps are superior than aosp imho. All of the notifications on the lock screen I enjoy more. I can go on and on. Just because you don't use the Rosie launcher doesn't mean its aosp, far from it.

Yes this I know. I have been around long enough with these devices to know that not running the rosie launcher does not make it ASOP. I have run just about every os that is out there. Including using my old TP2 in dual boot mode when they first started doing that.
I have run my Evo with no sense last year, so this is no new concept to most of us. Calkulin made an app last year to remove the sense apps in one shot if you did not want to use all the bloat.

CM mods are great. I prefer it as my choice for AOSP roms, but I would still prefer a senseless rom. The only things I think CM mods have as an edge to sensless roms are the option to unlock your phone without pressing the "ok" button, and better battery life.
Looking forward to this rom. If you manage to keep it sensless but keep the 3.0 lockscreen, that would be pretty impressive!
ASOP roms have gps issues, I did not find a permanent solution for it in any forum.
If you want a 100% working perfect rom you can try Ginger-AleV2 or MikG 0.51, both are Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 with latest 2.3.4 gtalk video. I flashed Ginger-AleV2, then got GoLauncherEx from Market (free).
Update:

Camera works better on this rom than on AOSP roms, plus you get 720p recording back. And it runs smooth enough to actually use 720p recording.
There is a noticeable screen smoothness to htc stock kernels that I can't get with any aosp rom. If you use them side by side, even with evodeck's or cyanogen's latest you can see that the HTC builds just look smoother.
and you can really notice this in games. I play a lot of games, not the really high end hard for our phones to play type of games (well a few of them) but even in ****in Chuzzle you notice a huge difference LOL.
Normally with All the Sense **** eating up all the resources the games on HTC builds don't run very well, but when you slim down to an easier to run launcher and everything they run so damn purdy.
GPS is perfect
##codes work
tight program integration like mentioned with stock dialer, facebook, twitter, etc.
Rosieless sense-based I think is the perfect way to go. You get all the performance of AOSP without any of the downsides. Working on fixing everything and getting this up, I fell asleep last night.
The HTC Facebook I accidentally took out and the MMS are going to be back in this one
HTC Facebook rocks. No ****ty facebook program, just contact sync WOOT. haha. I can't stand the facebook program. Full desktop version of the website in Dolphin Browser 5.0b2 HD is the way to go.
So with the next"release" or whatever, will you have the text messaging apk back?
Excited to try this out!

p.s. I am using AmonRa 2.3...thanks
Yeah, im pretty sure wipe sd-ext is required,but don't take my word for it.
@skydeaner, yeah thanks for the hosting. Thanks for this senseless rom. Probably gonna check it out, just first gonna find screens of what go launcher is like. I usually use adw and LP. Havebt seen go.
At selders59, senseless is a million miles from aosp and cannot be compared.

Curious to try this but would like to when it's been updated with the above. Looks promising, thanks for doing this! XDA rocks......
Cool - I like this, feels like a hybrid. For those who have tried AOSP roms, this looks like AOSP with better features from sense, like the weather widget, notification icons, contacts & phone dialer app, and of course the sense 3.0 lockscreen. I think the contacts and dialer apps in AOSP needs a lot of improvement, just my opinion. Thanks Skydeaner.

Benefits of Sens 3.5?

Hi Guys!!
I am thinking about upgrading to a new rom with sense 3.5..
I would love if you guys could outline the features or differences you found between stock and the new roms, Often it takes me a week to find half of the cool features, even when reading the changelog.
Looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say.
Thanks!!

what browser tabs? confused.

*Change Amount of Homescreens
*Better status bar
*Rotation animation (w/ beats)(beats on xe rom too)
*Better Dock theme
*Smoother(much faster than 3.0, transitions are better)
*Smaller overall(compare .zip sizes...)
*Newer, successor to 3.0....
*Better app compatibility, based on newer Gingerbread version
*New apps(usage monitor, better camera UI,etc...)
Here are my Pros of the new Sense....
^this...It's progressive! Why go backwards...
Thanks for that Ace! Good list! Are there any cool new widgets?

I am going to go on 3.5 regardless, I'm just keen to hear what people find best about the new roms, as I always seem to miss the cool stuff until 3 weeks of use!
Does 3.5 use less ram than 3? How much does it typically require?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
I find one of the best changes is in the phone application it has people, call history, and groups under the dialer. Only thing I didn't like is in Messages it doesn't show a count of how many messages are in a thread.

Sense 3.5 is a much much better update than 3.0..
It offers much more functionality than just eye candy. There are so many new changes. It's way faster aswell.
Also another new feature not mentioned by ace, you can have a different wallpaper for the lock screen and hime screen.
Upgrade. Now.
ROM size itself has gone from ~350Mb to ~320Mb - better features, smaller size; cleaner code.
One of the best touch-ups for me is when you press SEND on an SMS, you dont get the "please wait" wheel spinning and have to wait to get back into the Messages menu; its instant.
Small change, big difference
In Sense 3.5, when a new SMS is received or you have a missed call, you can drag the new SMS or missed call notification down to the lock ring to open directly.
Also, Sense 3.5 adds Outlook Tasks Synchronizing.
The volume change popup (after you press the vol+ or vol+), is now bigger & you can directly tap the speaker icon to mute/vibrate instead of pressing Vol- all the way down.

Installing Sense 4.0 Roms

I am currently running ARHD 6.6.4 and while it's great, I think I'm getting a little tired of Sense 3.6. My question is that, other than the usual superwiping and flashing the zip, is there anything else I need to do to? I already have the 3.32 firmware.

rather than superwipe..use "format all partitions except sdcard" form 4EXT->wipe|format
that option is very well supported when changing roms
What ROM's are you using?
I've installed this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25154538&postcount=8637
There is already several things that I miss from 3.6.
For instance the application list when pulling down the notifications screen.
Also do I miss the quick settings menu and the task manager. Are these missing only in this port, or is it actually removed as default from the original "Sense 4" ROM on "HTC One X" ?

You don't really need task manager.... Just long press the home ui button
Sent from my Sensation using XDA
I know that this is possible, but you get no cpu/memory statistics or possibility to force close the applications from the program list you'll brows from the home button.
The question was not for if i need them or not.
You don't need chocolate, but you want it and eat it non the less.
It's all about how you actually work with your phone and how you use it.
These features (program list, quick settings and task manager) were really nice, easy and quick to access. So I am really wondering what HTC are doing if they actually are removing nice to have features that's neither bloaty, confusing or in the way.
The question are still if this is actually the same for the original One X ROM and all the other Sense 4 phones, or if this is just removed from the ported ROM?

Hi !
ARHD is definitely a great ROM but one grows tired of the Sense 3.6 look. I really enjoy the deSensed look of some ROMs but those were still buggy. So, the nicest , most balanced alternative I found so far is SharkDrOiD S3 v1.4 which has, I think, all the features you're looking for.
You might want to try it out.
Cheers !

Let's try to fix Jelly bean official ROM bugs !!!

Hi there!
I have an HTC One S S4 and like all of you I have updated to jelly bean but I have been kind of disappointed because of some bugs/removed features that I have encountered in the use of the new ROM, here are some of the one I have found:
1) the new keyboard is laggy expecially because of the assisted writing. Also I don't like the new layout which doesn't have the "remove keyboard" button.
2) mobile wallpaper on the background in ICS move themself while sliding now in JB the background image is stuck, it's not moving while sliding through the pages of the home.
3) there is lag for the live wallpapers on the home...don't know maybe it's the rosie
4) equalization option inside the music player has been removed, the music player from stock rom 1.78 had it
5) meteo and music widgets has no more 3d effect while sliding through the home, it would be nice to have the old widgets back!!
Let's try to report here all of the bugs/removed features and also the fix for them ( always if they exists ). Actually I think that HTC isn't going to realese any more updates and this is disappointing.
THIS THREAD IS FOR FIX BUGS OF SENSE BY KEEP USING SENSE INTERFACE NOT BY USING OTHERS HOME LAUNCHERS

For me one of the most annoying things it's the keyboard too.
Also for the "remove keyboard" button that I use a lot, my problem it's that i made a lot of mistake during typing due to the dimension of the keyboard. I check with two phone near, one with JB and the other with the old ICS, and the keyboard of the JB it's smaller, and the area of a single character it's smaller!
USB PC connection. I like ICS because I can see files on my phone just like on any other removeable usb device.

You can use TWRP if you really need mass storage.
AW: Let's try to fix Jelly bean official ROM bugs !!!
This shouldn't be posted in the dev section.

Anyways it should be continued here as it's not new.

But still it's not comfortable. If there is option to enable this feature, should be enabled.

Its not the best but if you want to keep JB Sense then thats all you can do for mass storage.
Two things:
1 - Wrong section. Don't be a noob (too late...).
2 - HTC's JellyBean sucks. There is already a solution to fix ALL of these issues: GO TO AOSP. It's 10.5378x times better. I'm never going back to Sense now...

Seriously...asking to fix what are minor appearance and usability bugs in Sense is pretty much a full time job. If you're complaining about the wallpaper and 3d effects in widgets, you might as well make a list of all the ways Sense looks like crap starting with the basic color scheme and jarring difference in appearance when AOSP blue peeks through Sense green.

If I would have fixed those bugs/things by using another launcher first of all I would have NOT open this thread and second I would have NOT bought an HTC device in the first place. I like sense and I want to keep using it, also I think that a lot of people think the same. If you want to use CWD or something like that you are free to do that and nobody has invited you here.
P.S. I apologize for posting in the wrong section

I had red on the jelly bean official thread that someone fix the lag on the keyboard by doing a fresh install with the RUU and wiping everythin ( I have updated via OTA ), but I have never tried because I was skeptical about this, have you tried??

Try jelly bean keyboard pro, no lag at all and you can choose the size of the keys and the keyboard
Hi,
On top of that mentioned, I'm working with Hebrew UI and not the only one who faced a FC on the calendar when trying to enter/change a meeting with a recipient.
The same procedure while on English UI is all fine.
Already opened a help ticket which was already escalated to the technical support as BUG.
In terms of official roms, I see no benefit with JB over say, ViperS 1.2.1 (ICS).
In fact, I think its inferior in almost every way (things like no USB Mass storage mode etc).
I ran stock ICS for quite a long time (compared to what I normally do) and was quite happy with it, nothing particularly wrong with it.
Then came the JB OTA, and the forums got flooded with issues :silly:
I'm going to format my phone to see if then the keyboard keep lagging...I just need some times to do that...
Can I ask, with the new JB update, do you lose the ability to connect the phone to a PC and access the SD Card (as a removable drive)?

when you connect the phone to the PC you will see that device on the pc explorer and by entering in it you can access the drive but you cannot connect it as a removable disk...indeed this is disappointing
By the way I have erased all the data and reset the phone completely, now the keyboard it's a little better, less lag but still worst of the one on ICS
well the keyboard is pretty much the same..a little better but still laggy, I want the old back!!
