I Fell In Love With Sense 4.0 - HTC Sensation

Love is a strong a word so I don't really love it but, I really really reaaaally like Sense 4.0
The transitions are smooth, looks and feels way more polished compared to Sense 3.0, 3.5 and 3.6 and best of all is stable!
I will be honest, I was hesitant to install it since I was not liking the screenshots but after flashing it, I can safely say is best.
I thought I would share my experience with Sense 4.0 with you guys
I am running OrDroid 1.7.2

Not to come across as flaming, but this is a pointless thread as there are YouTube videos of the Sense 4.0 ROMs on the Sensation and screen shots are no different to the actual One S running on they're not needed

Yes mate, I have similiar feelings about the Sense 4.0 roms. 1080p high bitrate playback is smooth, on official 3.32.401.5 it lags like hell. Need to wait for bluetooth and Sense 4.0 will the best experience on my Sensation ever.

There's one thing keeping me away from Sense 4: No quicksettings/EQS...

Looks nice, I'll switch to it and test for myself later on.

since sense 4.0 was out i hate the sense 3.x clock

I'll agree with this haha. The weather clock on sense 4.0 is beautiful!

hows the battery life?

I couldn't take sense seriously after I saw that there was a ****ing "dice" app. What a joke.

Have you tried an AOSP Rom? How do the sense 4 apps compare to the aosp apps? e.g. Messaging, Contacts, Dialer etc. are they the same as sense 3.6?

I actually think I like sense 2.1/3.0 better. The new launcher's just plain ugly. Why did they replace the bottom bar with two circles with nothing in between??
Can anyone tell me if there is a real improvement in terms of speed between Sense 3.0 vs Sense 3.5? I am not attracted by the design of the new Sense, hope it will improve when it's final.

Since it was optimized for the 800MHz Bliss, I'm sure it's faster than the "stock" software on the Sensation/Evo3d/MT4GS.
how did u do that?

I'm curious how they've managed to keep the same slick sense 3 graphics and transitions, running faster on a smaller CPU'd device
that also has increased functionality

Ice Cream Sandwich Launcher [NEW VERSION]

HTCclay recently tweeted the link to the ICS launcher. It may not be real but users claim it's pretty cool. Anybody tried it out? The apk is attached.
Its kinda is cool, here are the Screenshots - This is how it looks on the Sensation :

Wait you're using MIUI on your Sensation?! How?! I've been looking for it for so long but I couldn't find it! Please share!
It's on 'other' forums
Google MoDaCo
i thought there was susposed to be a games tab also
Care to share? Lol. You can PM it to me also please! Thanks!
The point of Google is to do it yourself
just tryed it, its nice, ICS will be great, cant wait ....
The app drawer seems a bit laggy to me running on top of latest Android revolution hd.But I'm exited for ice being released this year.

No you should be fine with what you have. This isn't the actual Ice Cream Sandwich launcher. It's made by Syndicate Apps. Based off of the "leaked" pictures.

Really wish it would of had the 3D app drawer from the stock android, but that's fine. It does look really good.
That's cool, but it's really laggy in app drawer

This is not real I think.
Google wouldn't add settings for launcher seperately and put Honeycombs screenshots for running apps. ICS will much better than this. Good work anyway.
Pretty cool as stated before 3d app drawer would be awesome..

Hahaha i think she wouldn't, is it vanilla ICS on her Razor?
Because honestly, the only ICS that looks good is the vanilla ICS imo (i didn't try sense 4, but i tried sense 3.6 and i say that it ruins ICS looks :/ )

Yeah sense 3.6 was just a quick slap of sense on ICS.
Sense 4.0 has been done properly and you can definitely tell

Yeah I agree with you.
I was deeply excited about the new ICS update, but now I'm disappointed. I used ronk88's Sense 3.6 ROM yesterday (great port by him!).
I can hardly tell its ICS it looks and feels exactly the same as Endymion. Quite disappointed. But there is a slight performance boost, I find it about 10% faster in general usage.
I now really like AOSP ICS. It's beautiful and clean. (Now considering my next device to be a Galaxy Nexus. Sick of having to wait for updates from OEMs.).
Can't wait for HTC to release the kernel source. I can't wait to get fully fledged Sense 4 & CM9!
CM9 will rock! It will satisy my cravings for a Galaxy Nexus with the same UI.... Can't wait for it to be finally bug-free!!!!

Just a question:
Are we DS users getting Sense 3.6 for our ICS and not 4. I think the new Sensation XE & XL have sense 4.
Is that right?.
Also, does anyone in UK using an Open Europe Rom have ICS on their DS yet.

Skins for the 3d should also work for the sensation.
Just make sure the sense version.
If you are on Sense 3.5, only use sense3.5 skins.
If you are in sense 3.6, only use sense 3.6 skins.
And so on.
Hope this helps.
Unless there is more you are looking for.

even if its a ICS rom
SENSE sits on top of ICS... the sense versions must match. I'm actually a bit of a themer but was taking a break for awhile. I may be up for this challenge.... I'm gonna look into the EVO forums and see whats up. if its just a simple skin you should be able to just install it as most of these skins are simple APK files. as long as your sense versions match you should be good to go... if not then they just need ported over. which isnt hard
let me know what you want to do it
I'll make requested white and pink themes but for sense 4.0... White version is beta stage right now working on my phone

Sense , Cm9 , Miui

Which one do u prefer and why ???
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
Sense 4.0. It's visually the best. Everything else is smoother, but I can't stand choppy scrolling in CM9 and everything else is lacking the visual flair. I can understand why people would want the smoothness of non sense ROMs though, sense is choppy.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Sense is good because it looks great, a good amount of tweaks, and functions right out of the box. However it's very heavy on ram and processor speed which drains the most battery between the three. I really dislike CM9 because my experiences have proven to be buggy (could just be me) but it does gives you the pure android experience as it was intended to be and good battery life. I prefer MIUI the most because it's themes, which lets you add a personal touch, great battery life, and light weight (less stress on ram and processor) although MIUI can have some bugs too.
Sense for HTC looks. And miui for customization.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA
SENSE is heavy on ROM/Resources.
CM9 is *still* buggy.
Honestly I'v not tried MIUI. so cant say abt tht.
My suggestion for u to go for AOKP ROM. Its FAST-SMOOTH-STABLE.
It provides a LOT of customization.
...n If u r a Sense UI lover (Like I am), then AOKP ROMs hv options for themes as well. U can simply download n apply the SENSE 4.0 aokp theme, for sense ui, skin, icon pack, font etc.
Here is the Homescreen of mine running AOKP with SENSE 4.0 Theme.

I prefer cm9 its light fast good battery and looks good..
Swyped From My Sensation.
My personal fav is AOKP. Its like CM9 with more functions, fast and smooth, and there are tons of themes out there for customizing
(dont mind the sig, havent updated it in a while)
CM9 for me personally, I don't see why people say its buggy, It the smoothest rom for me, no glitches and excellent battery life
Sense 4 drains too much battery from my experience
Sense for me. I love the look and functionality. It's just really smooth.
