So who thinks that we will be the first to have 4.0 on our phones....
Sent From My HTC Sensation 4G
Since the Sensation line is the first to get the ICS update, I am guessing that it might be the first to get the Sense 4.0 update as well.
No way its gonna be rolled out together with ICS
I think, that we will not get Sense 4 (with ICS). When I asked HTC on Facebook - they said, that we will get Sense 3.5 with ICS.
So, are they any screenshots about how Sense 4.0 will look like?
I was a sense defender, but I've trying the Virtuous Inquisition ROM for about a week now, and AOSP is really good, it looks nice too. I just miss a couple of things like flipping the phone to shut the ringer, the volume being turned down after taking it outside your pocket...

look there. IMO Sense 4 looks much better than 3.6<, it's elegant, smooth, maybe will be much better for memory
Thanks, looks nice! I'm sure Android Revolution team will adopt it as soon it is released , Maybe I will give Sense another try then
HTC talk rubbish! We already know there is a test release of sense 3.6 for our phones and the XE
Well I know everyone here hates trip but he has the endeavour RUU running on the sensation already...pretty much stable...it looks so nice

Well we must bear in mind that 3.6 nor 4.0 is officially released. We'll see it when we get there but I seriously hope to taste some official ICS + Sense 4
I'm pretty sure we will get it, but dunno when. But if the screen is already leaked out... I think it is not too far until mike suddenly post a news about oncoming new ROM
What I'm not sure is the quality of it. because from sense 2 to sense 3, the design is like overhauled. But seeing from the screen shots, I see no significant design improvement. (but of course it has functional improvement)

This is not surprising at all. Glacier is using a bastardized version of sense 2.0 anyways, so there's no chance that htc or tmobile would hack a perfectly good version 3.0 just for glacier. Besides with announcement of sensation, tmobile will have a pure sense phone by summer, this would nudge most users to upgrade to the new sensation which what tmobile want anyways to increase sales. Glacier is an ugly step child used to show case video calling with 4g, sensation is the next flagship phone for tmobile.

Sense is more like what android should of been just with out the extra MB. To be honest I like sense better then stock so many things are better. I use cm 7 but use launcher pro. If sense could just make light framework edits like the Guys who make miui alot of people would use it simply it gives a better user exp. When I see stock I go eww. Its boring.

You're lucky you got in the game late. It was agonizing since I bought it at release. I was checking every day to see what developments had been made. I was even the first to post links to the kernel source when it dropped. The original OS was pure torture. I'm just a Vanilla guy.
Besides- Vanilla takes about 90MB, Sense hits about 280MB.
Vanilla>Sense based on sheer efficiency.
Eh, well I guess the myTouch is running espresso so its not like sense 3.0 would change much on espresso. I'm sure when it gets gingerbread we'll see some UI changes tho.

When i saw the Droid X and Droid 2 getting locked down i decided that will not be a "first comer". I want to wait and see how it goes when it comes to rooting.... i don't mind tinkering. But i'm not putting up with a locked bootloader either.
My benchmarks and general user experience between sense vs aosp are barely negligible. Plus sense has all the UI fanciness and Widgets and IMO is just prettier. For as much MB as sense uses vs vanilla I don't see any meaningful drop in speed or experience. That to me is enough to put Sense higher up on my list than vanilla.

I love both AOSP and Sense, but Sense is just so much prettier and has a whole lot more functionalities. I always end up going back to Sense. The FB and Twitter integration on Sense makes it worthwhile for me. And let's not even start on how horrid the caller ID screen on AOSP is
Although it's bulkier than AOSP, I see no noticeable speed difference.
Don't know if anyone has read the article recently, but there's an update saying HTC clarified that some of the older devices will get Sense 3.0. So, there's hope! And since ours is one of the more recent HTC phones, I think there's a good chance we may get it. If not, I think this will be the eventual ROM I finally leave stock sense for!
As others have said, with these phones having the power to smoothly run Sense, I prefer it for it's sleekness and most importantly the awesome widgets. I will say though, that I've fallen out of love with Friendstream because it's so friggin slow!
I hated the first release of sense that released with the hero, but I love sense 2.0, 2.1. Can't wait for 3.0 to be ported to the MT4G. Should hold me over until the Sensation is released.
See, I like both AOSP and Sense. Just depends on mood, but I can see the benefits of both and understand why someone would like one over the other. I just can't make up my mind sometimes.
I Needs It...... I needs my Superphone Fix...Ima have to turn a lot of tricks for the Sensation.
I wondered if anyone can point me in the direction of a rom that will work on the Sensation that isnt Sense 3.0 and instead the previous Sense UI. I cant stand the carosel on the new version but would rather keep it original in 'sense' form than have to use launchers to cover this

I think one you can check out is the synergy rom. I've never flashed it on my sensation, but on my evo it was a combination of sense 2.1 and 3.0. No carousel.
there is no original sense 2 for the sensation
sensation has a entirley diff resolution so everything has to be downsized and it will take a huge effort to get this fully working.
i dont thin kany chef will do that

So even though HTC claims that Sense 4.0 is lightly skinned compared to older versions, why can't our Sensations not be able to run it? Wanted to see what others thought. I doubt that a phone needs a snapdragon s4 processor to run it. I'm thinking it's to try to get people to buy a new One model. It just rubs me the wrong way if this is the case.
This is all bloody marketing strategy to encourage people to buy there new phone. In my opinion sensation is capable of running sense4.0 . When they introduced sense 3 with our sensation they said same thing DHD will not be able to run sense 3 due to hardware. But now all dhd users are running even sense 3.5

Have a look in their respective threads in the Development sub forum since you'll get many more opinions there.
But I can say they're probably as good as 3.6 ROM's now in terms of speed and responsiveness. Battery life is as good if not better too.
They're definitely worth a try IMO.
I'm running Ordroid with sense 4 and its smooth...
i was used ordroid and it has no major problems, only hdmi output not working. it has no glitches and the developer works hard to improve rom. it's the second most used rom in forum, so many users can not be wrong, am i right?
I currently use 2 Rome, Arts for my daily use, and Elegancia for playing with sense 4. Elegancia is currently both stable and pretty

I have been using the Sense 4.0 ROM on my Sensation XE for over a month now. I am using Ordroid 8.2 ROM currently, and my phone has never felt better. The battery life has increased very significantly, it is more responsive and feels faster while using it on a daily basis. I would recommend flashing a Sense 4.0 ROM to everyone out there. Gives you so much more out of your phone!
Damn you HTC, XDA Developers LIKE A BOSS.
thanks for the responses. well i gave ordroid 8.2 a try. i have to say yes it is comparable to sense 3.6 in terms of speed and responsiveness. except rosie isnt as smooth when moving through your homescreens, even with ultra smooth rosie by default. i also missed the huge amount of tweaks i had from monarx sense 3.6 tweaks. but it looks like ordroid 8.5 may have all of them now. will wait for reviews. also i dont like the new completely dark keyboard (too dark )

TBH, I don't really want sense because the overall taxing of the system.
And unfortunately there isn't a bug free version of AOSP yet, so i guess the main question is if 4.0.4 used with sense will improve anything?
I donot like sens, I like CM9 best
i just got a sense4.0 rom finally and IMO the dock at the bottom looks just like the one in 3.6 so yea
I hated Sense version 3.0 and 3.6. I hated it. Did I mention I hate it?
I tried Sense 4.0 on for size and I liked it. 4.0 definitely changed my opinion of sense. It's my daily driver. I hope that BT will get fixed soon
We will get 4.0.4 with some bug fixes. However only after HTC has settled down with their One series launches worldwide. I think we will get Sense 4.0 and HTC won't leave their 2011 phone with the same Sense version as their 2010 phone cause the Desire HD will also be getting Sense 3.6.
It won't change that much with the android version.
The big deal must be done by HTC that must give a full working RUU, not a one that has still many important bugs, bugs that the Sense 4.0 Roms don't have (but they have different ones because they are portings, and that's not easy)
HTC Provided Sense 3.6 instead of Sense 4.0 because you guys should atleast get common SENSE rather than Sense4.0 buy new device to get newer softwares/UI, want an example? it's ONE V which has Sense 4.0, with hardware specs closer to Desire HD, (maybe less powerful than DHD) they launched new devices which means older ones are paper weight! I am sorry if I am so harsh..but HTC Desire Z is 1st HTC device I owned, they have completely ended its support after GB 2.3.3 update, and that's also in less than a year, look at that device Section, how active it's...Courtesy of Devs out there, people are running ICS with full hardware functions, and HTC kept users till GB 2.3.3..so that they'll buy new phones whether they have money or not...perfect business ability HTC have....so to keep it simple..through your Sensation into dustbin..forget that how expensive it was when launched..and grab new device anyhow..that's all HTC want..

Keep telling yourself that
Sensation was released with great hardware but HTC didn't bother trying to futureproof any of it. They just released something they thought was great, and didn't bother to pay attention to the competition. Look at the hardware differences between the sensation and the gs2. Sensation has less ram and no NFC.
