I have to say jelly bean blows this sense bs out of the water. I cant wait to have it on my one x, mostly just to use Google now. Its so nice and fast and actually useful. I can set all my alarms without even looking at the phone!
Holding out for source code. Hopefully it will comes quickly. Having come from several previous htc devices, I should be used to this long wait for source bullshhh by now.

Really, setting your alarms without looking at the screen? To be perfectly honest it doesn't seem all that beneficial.

I would kill to have stock jelly bean working on the one x. I'm starting to really dislike sense because of it's memory hogging. I can't think of a single feature it adds to stock android other than the ability to remove some home screens.
Y do u guys buy htc if u dont like sense? Jus saying..............
I love sense 4.0! Its perfect! And its sexy!!

I buy htc solely for hardware. Been doing it since the apache. Using custom roms since the touch pro. Like the hardware. Don't mind sense but would love to do without it.
Plus I hate how sense has to add notes to all my contacts.

Because, we buy the phone for the hardware. This is xda-developers... We'll get the software we want on our devices one way or another.

Because a lot of us are just in it for the hardware. I don't want a Nexus (though I have been quite tempted) in fact, the ROM I *want* to use is MIUI. However, since we do not yet have kernel source that is not 100% ready for me and I also don't want to lose the Sense burst camera.
I don't hate Sense, in fact it was my first Android experience (HTC Aria) when I first switched to CyanogenMod, I thought "Where did my beautiful clock and Facebook widget go?!"
Then I got over it. If one doesn't take advantage of a majority of the things that Sense has to offer, they simply have no reason to keep it on their phone. I fall into that category.
I promise, if there had been a version of the HTC One X without Sense, I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat. It's the most beautiful phone screen I have ever used, and I like the general design. My only complaint is no memory card slot.
What you're saying is: If you don't like Touchwiz, don't buy Samsung. If you don't like Timescape, don't buy Sony. If you don't like Sense, don't buy HTC, and if you don't like Blur, don't buy Motorola.
It isn't that simple because some of us dislike them all. I happen to fall into that category, but if I have to pick my poison it is definitely Sense.
We buy the phone despite Sense because we know that there will eventually be the opportunity to remove it.
It's great hardware, and Android devices are rarely stuck on the manufacturer's software
Thanks. That sir is a good answer. Ive been asking people y they would buy a phone knowing its sense, and then complain about it. Just funny 2 me ya know. ;-) but i got flamed for asking the question...........even got called a troll!! Ha ha ha!!!!! Funny!!!!! But ya man, thats all they had to say, instead of getting all sad, and calling people names!

Same here. This is the sexiest device on the market by far. A little low on the internal storage, but this is like saying a 10/10 drop dead gorgeous model isn't any good because her titties are only a B cup.
I was hoping we'd have the kernel source by now so we could get some real custom ROMs on here and not just modded stock ROMs. I do appreciate the mods and hacks but I'm talking about CM9, AOSP/AOKP, etc. Very disappointed with HTC because of their constant neglect. Almost thinking of selling this device and getting a Galaxy Nexus again.
Ok maybe i should have asked.......y do people complain about having sense knowing thats indeed what they bought. I love sense, and sense 4.0 is sexy!!!!

Same as posted before, I bought it because it was priced well, and I don't care for any manufacturer overlay tbh. My first android was the original evo, loved it, but then I found cyanogenmod, and loved it even more. That's what's great about android you can get custom roms, and have it the way you like it.
Also sense has changed a lot lately it use to be able to multitask just like default android, but HTC in sense 4 changed that which, imo, is a reason to be able to complain. Why change something that never had a peoblem.

Have you tried a 100% working cyanogenmod, or miui? Your mind might change if you haven't.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Thanks I don't really think there is anything wrong with Sense 4.0 in fact, I like it. I just know that I don't use it.
I'm going to use Apex or Nova Launcher for sure (I frequently swap between the two) then I lose the Sense widgets.
I would rather use Widget Locker so the Sense lockscreens (despite being pretty cool) become useless. (Not using WL now though because of the multitouch issue it causes)
People just want to get the extra memory it uses back. You're right though, Sense 4.0 is pretty nice in my opinion. Not really much to not like, but if you don't use it it turns into wasted resources.
and I think everyone has to admit, the Sense camera is delightful

Nope, you're annoying because you quoted the same person on the same post in two different posts and still added absolutely nothing to the thread.
I personally like Sense, definitely a whole lot more than I do touchwiz since I came from a Samsung Captivate. That being said, I am very interested in trying out a complete "Google Experience" with Jelly Bean.

I disagree, we have more freedom stock than an iPhone does or ever will have
And with root our phones blow away the iPhone
I've had them and I've jailbroke them for friends.
The only advantage I will say is the hardware is great and since they create the hardware and software it has better app development

The theming was nice, but man did all those tweaks and such slow my phone down. I reset it and gave it to my kid for gaming, and it was like I had a new phone it was so much snappier.
Contrast that to how much faster and smoother you can make an Android phone by rooting and romming it.
I don't think I'm going to regret jumping ship but I am curious to see where they go with this one.
I tried an iphone. Wanted to love it. Sold it and bought this phone on launch day. Love my ipad and mac but I'm android on my phone.
Leave the apple products to the people who don't have half a brain to learn something new. The Android ecosystem is always changing and dynamic, always something to be learned and discovered. Apple is just a closed and elitist ecosystem that died with Steve Jobs.
If Apple ever made their phones run iOS(i-open source) I'd think about it.

I think It's because of HTC. With all the different variant versions of one S all the different h boots. I dunno man I truly belive my next cell phone will be Samsung. I've always wanted to try it out but didn't like the phone design. The galaxy 3 and note 2 are the first Samsung phones that actually caught my eye. I guess we will see what's in the future line up. I had the HTC amaze and sensation. HTC failed the Amaze as well. Oh well.

I'm not a frequent poster. Heck, I'm still not above the necessary posts for posting in Dev forums. But I wanted to delurk and say this: thank you.
I've been on XDA for a few years now, starting with the Samsung Captivate, moving on to the HTC Inspire 4G, presently on this forum and soon the One forum. In that time I've had the opportunity to see many people, many devs and countless iterations of ROMs (some of which have followed my transit, oddly).
XDA has a lot of great people: young, old and somewhere inbetween. The devs and users alike have been great on the HTC One XL. Arguably, this is one of the best groups I've frequented.
Devs: Thanks for all the tireless, sometimes thankless work. Some of you are literally half my age and are able to do things I barely understand. Remember that for every pissant whiner, there are any number of people just like me silently going along and enjoying every bit of what you do. Sense or stock, all of you make this phone fly.
Users: You guys are great, period. Funny, helpful and great bunch overall. I've seen a lot of you support the devs with bug reports, donations and sometimes just with thanks. That is awesome. Keep it up!
So, anyway. That's all I have to say for whatever it is worth. I'll be following along with the One forums. Maybe I'll talk with some of you there if/when I finally break my lurker habits.

THANK YOU "bkcokota" AND OTHER XDA DEVS
I am new to this forum and especially new to rooting......
upon deciding to root my HTC ONE SV 3 days ago, and failing miserably, might i add, i followed "bkcokota" guide.
at no fault of his own i tried and tried again.......gave up, then tried and tred again......rinse and repeated this several times......then said F it and
decided to research anything i could find on the web about rooting phones........upon one more try at rooting this thing i finally got it......
i at this time.........about 5 minutes ago.......realized i was a complete "noob" as ive seen this word used alot the last couple of days.
but after researching all i could realized how easy it was to do, and at how clear bkcokota's directions were........one of those "doh"
moments obviously, wanted to thank him personally as well as all the xda members who posted their findings to this site. i couldn't post to his
original thread, because of obvious reasons, so i decided to post it here. i hope it gets to him as his guide was detrimental to succeeding at my
task.
again,
THANK YOU "bkcokota" AND ALL OTHER XDA DEVS AND MEMBERS ALIKE.
PS: "[GUIDE] Root for HTC One SV UPDATED 23/02/13 - bkcokota" was the guide i followed

The Captivate has remarkable legs. I was surprised to see how much support it has after all these years. I probably would've kept it longer were it not for the SOD issue.
Incidentally, the Captivate will probably be traded in to fund the new phone.

I have never liked the screens on the galaxy phones. Look close in person and compare. Regardless of all other factors, the devs will make a speedy Rom with that hardware, and the build quality will be great on both.
The screen will be what you will look at more than anything else. Make sure you won't regret it. Pentile is irritating, even at hi res IMHO.
Black blacks and impressive contrast ratios are good, but seeing gaps between my pixels just ticks me off. That's just me.

Well then please make it HTC lol.
Apple is good at choosing hardware and writing software that is a bit behind the times, and consequently everything works and is smooth all the time.
That being said, I find iOS totally boring. My work bought me an iPad mini, which is cool, but I just can't get interested.

I would wait on the X phone and Nexus 5. IOS is good if you want your money's worth. My iPad 2 is still running silky smooth and my wife's iPhone 5 resells for $380! That's insane!
I have been a Samsung guy for the past couple of years and still am for the most part (waiting for the note 3) but to me the HTC one is much better than the galaxy s4. Two weeks ago I had my first HTC one, loved it but I had to get the S4 so i sold the One and got the s4. It's a good phone but it stutters A LOT, you cannot use the phone for a full minute without the phone stuttering and I'm not exaggerating. Also even though I always liked touchwiz, it's getting really old and needs an ui revamp badly. At the end of the day it's a matter of preference but to me the HTC one is a much more polish device. The s4 features are cool for the first 30 minutes but after a little while they just get in the way and become more annoying than anything. (Except multi window and air view ). The one display is beyond amazing (the one x display is the best 720p display and this puts it to shame), the speakers are incredible and I find myself liking blinkfeed a lot. Less features but way more useful. To each his own

As far as I'm concerned Samsung is in my ****list. How they can release such poor build quality at such high prices is beyond me. HTC time and time again is a perfect combination of power, features and build quality. And ew ew ew touchwiz. Also, would much rather have a phone and a tablet then a cross between the two. Having a smart phone you can't operate with one hand seems a bit useless to me but that's just my two cents. Also +1 on the nexus line of phones if for no other reason than having the latest software asap.
