What are the cons and pros of using sense 4.1 vs sense 3.6. Is there a battery life difference? Because i do like sense 4 and just flashed elegancia. But i don't want less battery life.
I find Sense 4 to be reaaaally laggy when compared to 3.6. And I also feel battery life is therefore a lot better on 3.6. No matter how much I want to use sense 4, the bad out weighs the good, for me atleast.
I Love the Speed of Sense 3.6 and the Beauty of Sense 4.1 !!!
Overall I preferred Sense 4.1, though its somewhat laggy to me of course. But have had no choice other than that !!!
I can't afford HTC One X/X+/ONE
Sense 4.x
Pros::
--Sense 4 GUI that looks damn awesome than Sense 3.6
-- Good Battery life in some Roms especially ViperS
-- Viper Sense tweaks(No one can beat this tweaks that Viper has developed)
--Good for daily driver
Cons::
--Laggy sometimes
--Multitasking, not as smooth as Sense 3.6 Roms
Sense 3.6
Pros::
--SPEED
--Good Multitasking
--Good for daily driver
Cons::
--Old fashioned GUI
--Less tweaks as compare to Sense 4 Roms
A funny FACT:: I always flash and set up the Sense 3.6 Rom for an hour, and then again somehow wipe that ROM and again Restore the Sense 4.1 ROM

I agree with hunt's points and I run 4.x ROMs on mine as well.
Battery life depends on a lot of factors like kernel choice, CPU and GPU frequencies, voltage. It also depends on how you use your phone (e.g., wifi, data, bluetooth), what apps you use and how long/often you run them, etc. One has to experiment and find the best balance between performance and battery life. All else the same, even if the battery life is better with Sense 3.6 ROMs , I personally still prefer 4.x ROMs for reasons hunt pointed out.

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

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.
Hi,
I'm sure you guys read about this:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/17/htc-confirms-one-x-multitasking-tweaks-in-sense-4/
http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/16/3024854/htc-one-x-multitasking-operating-sense
I was wondering if Sense 3.6 does this also? I am still on Android 2.3, Sense 3.0 stock. Not that I can multitask much anyway because I have less than 100mb free and Sense keeps reloading and killing all my apps.
If Sense 3.6 does not have this, will you guys still want Sense 4.0 if HTC ever release it for our phones?
No I don't think Sense 3.6 has such an aggressive task killer.
I'd still want Sense 4.0 as the task killing aggressiveness can be adjusted I believe.
No.
Sense 3.6 uses the regular ICS multitasking system.

I will want it too however just for the increased battery life. I'm don't really do any multitasking.
So after a couple months of development and improvement, how are the Sense 4.0 ROMS running for everybody? At first, I heard news of bugs and features not working, but what are your experiences with the ROMS? Can anybody tell me how battery life and performance are changed from Sense 3.6 ROMS? Thank you .
For me sense 4 is workin like a charm,im using ordroid 8.2.0,i didnt find anything not workin for me,but battery life compared to virtuos inquistion is pretty much worse,that i can confirm.
But with my anker i get through whole day without problem.
Working fine. Better battery life than Sense 3.6 for me and better performance in some places.
It works fine but if you compare it let's say arhd it does have done lag specially when making transitions but overall it's great I prefer it over sense 3.6

I think sense 4.0 roms are awesome, great battery life and performance and massive aray of tweaks. Only bugs left are hdmi out and wi-fi tether
My sense 4 Rom is Ordroid 9.0.0, It's running wonderfully. The battery life is awesome , the tweaks and customization are awesome, very smooth , fast,
Very nice. Only one problem and that's tethering . I really miss being able to tether but not enough to install a different Rom. I've tried out several different sense 4 Roms but find myself going back to Ordroid . In my opinion nothing yet compares to it! I've not yet had one problem (other than tethering) its really a smooth Rom. I hope this helps some. It's really a very personal decision , and what fits your style and taste the best. But as for having sense 4 problems , not at all! It's been perfect! You really should try it out , I think you will be surprised at how smooth and fast it is! Also you will love the customization ability! I know I do! I think you will really love sense 4. Hope this helps out some and good luck in whatever you decide.

which one do u guys prefer and why?
me i stick with SENSE because
when mms is received data auto turns on and turns off when done.
refocus camera while recording video
I use sense, for me is fast, stable, battery friendly and i have all the utility from an HTC device, also the camera is awsome, the autofucos and the 1080p video without glitches...
No reboots at all, no problems, full funcionality...

Sense may be more stable but the vanilla experience of android is so much better.
i prefer sense with all utilities of HTC device.
I prefer Sense. Sense looks somewhat professional whereas CM Roms don't. You'll find CM on almost every devices, but will find Sense on ONLY HTC devices.
Sense is only thing that makes difference than Other.

signed :good:
I have tried various roms but so far i must say that i prefer CM over sense (because of all of the modifications you can do)
I prefer sense (ARHD to be specific) mainly because you don't see a "working/ not working" list because everything just works
Sense is cooler but I'd rather have the latest updates than sense if HTC is going to bullsht their way to bankruptcy
