Are there any rumours about Sense 5.0 coming to the HTC One S?

didn't heard anything about sense 5 for htc one s yet.. but I hope that the one s will still get updates and wont become forgotten because of the newer htcs

AW: HTC Sense 5.0 rumours?
I'm quite certain as soon as the sense 5 build leaks our devs here will do a port. :thumbup: But I think that our One S won't get official sense 5 by HTC. Maybe one with less features...

based on how long it took htc/tmobile to release jelly bean. I doubt we will ever see sense 5.0. the best we can bet is having a developer to release it.

AW: HTC Sense 5.0 rumours?
I think we will get it. Our phone is just like 1 year old, there should be at least 1 update for us with sense 5. Would also be a nice move from HTC towards customers.

I hope HTC will update htc one s to sense 5.0 or since we got s-off dev's can port it, no?

Re: HTC Sense 5.0 rumours?
Loool maybe ends of this year .. naahh come one our best hope is a port from the new 4.3 inch device from htc

I'm almost sure HTC will release this for the One series devices. Soo many people use the X, XL, S, and V and are locked into contracts.
I also see no reason why they would not roll out an update. Our device is perfectly spec'ed still (even though Sense is a complete resource hog and drain) and we have plenty of room on NAND to support it. We just will have to wait about 7.6 years for HTC's slow arse (screw t-mo) to finally release it...

Before an HTC One S I had an HTC Sensation which have an hardware enough powefull to have jellybeans and Sense 4+ but HTC decide to not upgrade this device. So with the new handsets I think that HTC don't upgrade the "old" One phones

Based on this One S Ville is in a good situation though. Take a look at the pace of updating One S VilleC2
Anyway, I hope that even if we get this, the BlinkFeed will not be there..

HTC can easily said that since the phone only has 1gb of ram, it will not get it or have a slim down Sense like what they did with the older phones before One. It would be a huge mistake in my opinion either way. HTC really needs to step up and support the One series more. I feel that it gives current owner a reason to continue to purchase and recommend their products.While I realize some of the camera features may not work on the current device due to potentially lack of the needed hardware, it would still be nice if HTC will try to bring a much of the new features to older phones to finally hae a unified One series.

AW: HTC Sense 5.0 rumours?
With the release of the one series they told that they want to support their phones way better again.

I've read in german forums that the HTC One S/X/X+ will get updates in the next months which will including:
- Blink Feed
- Additional camera features
- Zoe (full automatic video editor)
- and hopefully more?
the article also says that the update will NOT include all features of Sense 5.

Dont think so, its not a simple port.
And i dont know any real improvements over the aosp roms we already have.
But you never know.

You can already get the "improvements" in the form of bootanimation, new camera and sunbeam live wallpaper around XDA.

What camera you mean, from the latest ota or latest gpe edition dump.
Is the gpe edition that much better than the current aosp?
The rest i would call preferences.
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One S met Tapatalk

Holy **** imagine the One (S/X) camera in AOSP framework ...

I think the "Google editions" come without manufacturers software. But my expectations are the manufacturers configure the system for the respectives phones hardware. Might give us some improvements for other custom roms.

It's One S Petition time again..... lol

I know that from the Twitter a famous HTC developer said One S(S4) has high chance to get 4.2.2 sense 5 later but a new war just started.
http://technosamigos.com/htc-android-4-3-jelly-bean-update-schedule/
Here is a list for HTC 4.3 updates but no One S it clearly said that no Ville(S4) but I'm surprised HTC Valente(HTC J) z321e is on the list.
HTC J got exactly the same hardware(S4 1.5G dual, 1G, 16GB, 8M BSI imagechip, QHD Super AMOLED) with One S(S4) but with microSD, basic water resistance and 1800mah exchangeable battery supported(so it's more fat and heavy, not as cool as One S). It's only on sales in Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong regional.

I call BS on that list, it shows the Desire HD as a "yes" for 4.3, lol!

seriously once we have 4.2.2 and sense 5 you wont be arsed about 4.3

guys ffs htc had to give us 4.2 but not 4.3, if u want it so bad root and flash a 4.3 rom, I'm not even bothered about official htc updates because root is way better

The thing is, our custom roms will be much much much better if there is an official version for our phone.
Proper Kernel, Bluetooth, properly sized apps, more working features, etc, etc, etc...
But yes, pushing for 4.3 at this point is just plain ridiculous and may actually discourage them from giving us 4.2.

I know what you mean with official ota's u get new radios and all this other stuff but Tbh I don't think it makes that much of a difference, well defiantly not how people are hyping it
I wouldn't be surprised if these guys make a new thread petitioning for key lime pie =D.
I definitely will not be purchasing another htc again, but this device is now dead; no point trying anymore... Htc have the worst customers service for a reason

I agree. Nothing in 4.3 is all that important to me. Heck, nothing in 4.2.2 is a huge deal other than the notification toggles. I still miss those from my Sensation, which with Sense 3.5 had them even with ICS.

Na 4.3 is really good.... A lot better than 4.2
Very big battery life improvements, and project butter + in a sense l

yup, the main or only improvement on 4.3 is much better battery life

Personally, this will be the only HTC device I ever get. I will just stick with the Nexus devices from now on. I paid $600 for a phone that won't get another update without getting a custom rom. That is pretty crazy if you ask me.

4.3 & Sense 5.5 update for HTC One Mini

@LlabTooFeR, who has been a pretty good source for HTC info in the past, reckons the update for the Mini won't be coming until "late December":
https://twitter.com/LlabTooFeR/status/405241922975191040
Perhaps if HTC stopped wasting time making pointless football apps and endlessly tweeting about match results we might actually have it sooner ... or at least give us an ETA instead of ducking questions about it
Come on HTC, don't neglect this little gem just months after release.

We need kit kat too, but nobody khows about the update...

I don't think the 4.4 is out on the HTC One yet and you're expecting a Kit Kat for the Mini? There is a cm11 right now but it's still being work on. You should check it out.

Why not i have a new phone, i wont the final version of android
Gesendet von meinem HTC One mini mit Tapatalk

I got the phone three days ago , and I'm in love with it. Unfortunately , the community is waaay more smaller than on my ex android devices ( Galaxy S3 LTE, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7).
It will be too bad if HTC will leave this little gem without support and updates.
Even here, on Xda the Community for Mini is not even half comparing to other my ex devices. I hope it will grow .

[Q] HTC One Max UI on the M8 - possible?

I sent a question to one of my fav devs from the original HTC one - is anyone currently working on a port for the HTC One Max UI to the new M8? I have good eyes, love the smaller UI. Any ideas?

PS: Thread for reference. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666956

Until HTC releases a max version of sense 6, it will be too much work for any developer, will be easier is released first

I too would be interested in this, as I am not a huge fan of the large proportions of Sense (especially the icons in the status bar). That, or perhaps a working port of Paranoid Android (with the customizable DPI options), would truly make this phone golden.
