No Sense 5 for the ONE S - HTC Sensation

I am sorry to confirm, but the HTC ONE S will not be receiving Android 4.2.2 or Sense 5.
“We can confirm that the HTC One S will not receive further Android OS updates and will remain on the current version of Android and HTC Sense. We realize this news will be met with disappointment by some, but our customers should feel confident that we have designed the HTC One S to be optimized with our amazing camera and audio experiences.” - HTC
I guessing that we will not be receiving a Sense 5 port for the our Sensations :crying:.

Preview leak build, from HTC's internal board.
Evil bastard - getting my hopes up! lol.
Thought maybe HTC had been secretly working on it behind the scenes to give us all a super fast update and make us all love them!

You'd better be patient if you're expecting an update OTA from HTC, as we're still waiting on the gingerbread 2.3.5 to be officially released worldwide...
I expect the devs to have an ICS ROM for Desire S up pretty soon.

I believe Superkid got close to getting everything working. He said he'd release once he gets it stable. If I know superkid, it shouldn't be too long from now

A post from Samarth Rasiwasia a dev's Sense for HTC
Samarth Rasiwasia - 05:07 (modification) - En mode public
Technically all the Android powered devices capable of running of Android Gingerbread will be able to run Android 4.0 ICS but Practically all devices may not give an overall good user experience . So all the manufactures are reviewing ICS on their devices to check the user experience and will release the latest OS according to the results.
HTC's list of devices that will surely get ICS :
* HTC Sensation (XL,XE,Original)
* HTC EVO 3D
* HTC Incredible S
* HTC Desire HD
* HTC Flyer
* HTC Rhyme
* HTC Desire S
Update (1) : No ETA's as yet. But may take 2-4 months because of the integration of Sense UI. HTC is definitely making every effort to provide update to most of the phones. Testing is under process. Desire Z and Salsa is going out of the list ,usability issues.
Update (2) : The phones exclusively on carriers such as HTC Amaze 4G,Thunderbolt,etc. will receive the update late.
Update (3) : New devices,i.e,Released after May 2011 will receive the updates prior to the old phones like Desire HD .

And the other about Google Nexus one => Google: Nexus One is Too Old for Ice Cream
And this => No Ice Cream Sandwich For The Nexus One, Says Google
Good news there for all us Desire S users

i have a question for sense 3.5

would htc bring out an oficial update for desire s to sense 3.5 does anyone know about it???
sorry for my english
No info about it yet. It is said that no HTC phone get two Sense updates, so with Desire S should be similiar story.
The question is - will Desire S get ICS? If yes, there will be for sure some newer Sense. But if adaptation of Sense 3.5 will be to problematical it may be even newer Sens (4.0?).
I bought a Desire S 2 months ago. After S-OFF and Root and using Endymion v3.3 i'm happier than anything with the phone. It took all of 15 mins to do if you follow the instructions.
It's rare to find custom software that blows the stock one out the water but i can't say enough about doing the above.
Nobody knows. What we do know is that HTC is currently still rolling out the sense 3.0 update to the Desire S. So don't expect a sense 3.5 update in the coming months.

HTC Official annoucement on ICS Update roadmap

Bellow you'll find a quote from the official HTC facebook page
"HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we’re excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon there after by the HTC Sensation XL.
In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks."
Even the 2010 device the HTC DESIRE HD will be get ICS, and some more devices will be annouced in the upcoming weeks as it is said at the end of the quote.
the link for the news from the official facebook page:
http://www.facebook.com/notes/htc/update-on-android-ice-cream-sandwich-upgrades/10150762287733084
Even if I'm a little disapointed with the dates that are being pushed a little put back (I guess the release of new devices at MWC has a priority) it is nice to see that HTC Are updating phone that came out in 2010, I think Motorola and Samsung should take notice of this.
Is it only due to the Sense Interface that the HTC Desire does not get an ICS update from HTC itself?

What has Sense got to do with it?
I think the delay has more to do with the fact that they are using their own overlay. The HTC Sense just like Samsung, and Motoblur they have to pretty much recode everything to work with the new software. What I don't understand is the fact that the beta for ICS came out in what Nov? Yet It's 5 months before HTC is going to put out their first ICS update it's very disappointing.
They publicly released the ICS code in Nov as well, but for in private I'm not sure why these companies were not giving it sooner.
I'm surprised the Sensation is the very first to get updated instead of all the newer ones at the same time.

i'll tell this to my friend who use sensation but hate htc.
Ice cream sandwich update
I am glad to see that the HTC sensation is one of the first phones to receive the much talked about ice cream sandwich update. I am wondering though because I have a rooted phone with the CID removed, if HTC would push the update or T-Mobile. I thing we may have a problem if T-Mobile pushes the update. That last one they did, they are soft bricked my phone. I had to get it manually from Xda developers. I just wanted to send this out as a warning to everyone that would update if they have a rooted phone, especially with the SID removed.
ICS in the Future HTC
Ice Cream Sandwich is the las version of Android devices but only two smartphone have this version Galaxy Nexus And Nexus S of Samsung, i like the idea the map road of update ICS for HTC devices, this include Sense 4.0 and ICS, the bad is the HTC is slowly update OTA performance, but the door is open
Nice, my fiancee will be very happy to hear that about her Sensation 4G!
Can't waiting, so I choose ARHD 6.2.1 for ICS taste
--------------------------------
HTC Sensation @ ARHD 6.2.1

THANKS
ARHD 6.5.0 and 6.5.1 rock thanks

comes because the need to let it be tested by google before its approved for release. this is the most time taking part of the rom.
Hopefully this should help the devs get some quality working ROMs out.
Even if HTC will support ICS on the Desire, AT&T had essentially cut all ties with the Inspire 4G. Main reason I rooted in the first place.

hope that sensation will have sense 4.0 update finally!
That is awesome!! THANXXX!!

HTC Sensation will not be receiving Sense 4.0

http://www.droiddog.com/android-blo...t-be-receiving-full-sense-4-instead-lite-3-6/
I still think it'll come. HTC said the same thing about Sense 3.0 last year. Besides, the One V can run Sense 4...so can the Sensation.
"Considering that a phone like the Sensation (which features a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 768MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage), can’t run Sense 4 smoothly, it’s better this way."
Wow, are you serious? CAN'T RUN SENSE 4.0 SMOOTHLY!? I call BS, the new One series has specs close to the Sensation and your telling me it cant run smoothly? smh. And i thought they said 4.0 was supposed to be lighter? da fuq.
thats why theres roms
From the original source of this story, Recombu.com, via phonearena.com, via droiddog.com:
**Update**
We've just received this written statement from HTC
"HTC Sense brings a variety of new software enhancements to HTC One, some of which utilize the latest hardware innovations, meaning not all functionality can be introduced to older HTC Devices. With that said, we are looking to bring a Sense 4 software update that includes as many of the enhancements as possible to a variety of our new devices."

its all for marketing purposes so you can buy the new phones
I remember them saying that Sense 3.5 would only be usable on dual core phones which was not true at all Had a Mytouch 4g running a Sense 3.5 rom with no bugs and great speed
plus its time consuming for them to update "old phones"
Plus, remember that the new camera features are a big part of Sense 4, which probably requires hardware that only the One series has (what they refer to as the "latest hardware innovations"). They would have to take that out before giving Sense 4 to our phones, which would take time away from the more important task of getting the One series ready for sale.
HTC never said themselves that the Sensation can't run it smoothly, that was just the website's assumption. It doesn't necessarily rule out us getting Sense 4 eventually, but I would not expect it to come anywhere near, and certainly not before, the release of the One series.

Yeah I remember that part, HTC said something about special imaging chip that allows to capture images during videos. I think that requires specific hardware.
Still they can upgrade software part of other things that dont depend on hardware, like new Sense launcher , themes etc.
Other option is that HTC probably knows that devs gonna port it anyways so they might as well let community to tinker with it
i don't htink so...it will come this summer or later but it will....
IMO
It will come with everything in 4.0 except the 25GB dropbox and new camera features.

Sensation specs close to the One? What have you been smoking? lol...it has much newer chipset technology, and will sh*t all over the Sensation crappy chipset....
the_scotsman, you just ninjad me...
Krait > Scorpion by far, just look at the Nenamark2 results:
HTC Sensation: ~44 FPS (avg, trying to eliminate custom roms).
HTC One S: 59.4 FPS limited by 60 FPS, i.e. this test does not utilize this chip's full power.

As i saw on some videos on youtube. One V has 3.6 Sense, it looks the same as the 4.0, but there is no 3D effects in Sense launcher, that's the only thing i saw that is different than One S and X.
Let's start trolling on HTC like Desire users did

OMG I cant run sense 4.0 on my N95 or my samsung d500 or my sony tv nor does my iphone. do you hear my complian about that..No and i tell you why
personally couldnt care if my sensation is running sense 4.0 sense 3.0 or sense 2.1. what i want is a phone i can make calls on and send texts.. have a screen that doesnt have a green hint on it when it comes to take a picture..
companys make money by bring out new stuff on there new phones what i think HTC is doing wrong is not fixing the problems with there old phones before bringing out a new phone..
Im sure some smart Dev with bring out sense 4.0 oneday for the sensation but are you really going to bycot HTC for wanting to make money....

Will there ever be sense 5 on sensation

Guys and Girls you think there will ever be a sense 5 port onto the sensation platform ?

i guess only possible if One s get update to sense 5.
lets hope so!
Sense 5 comes with Android 4.2. I'm not quite sure if the One S gets an Update to 4.2 although the changes from 4.1 to 4.2 are no essential changes.
Wrong
HTC One comes with 4.1.2
4.2.X is for Nexus devices ATM...

But there will be an 4.2 update for the htc one
Maybe but not Now

I think it will be along time but possible....HTC did say they would update the One S to sense 5. So we need the One S Ville c2 to get Sense 5 as a port, and we also need a working HTC jellybean kernel.
(the reason I mention the One S specifically is because its already a qhd device so no resizing will need to be done).

According to the german HTCInside-homepage (http://www.htcinside.de/htc-one-x-soll-update-auf-android-4-2-2-und-sense-5-0-bekommen/) there will be a android4.2.2/sense5 update for the OneX and OneS. Well, at least sense 5, 4.2.2 is not sure.
I've read somewhere an official announcement about all One series to be updated 4.2.2 and Sense 5 as well.
And that includes One S, so there's a chance to have an almost official JB kernel w/Sense 5 on our Sensations some day
Seems the Sensation can't get Sense 4+ with Android 4.1. So in theory it is possible, but if we ever get it, guess not.
There's a 0.5% possibility of getting official JB 4.1.x with Sense 3.x for our Sensations.
Sense 4.x won't be officially available for Sensations (c) HTC.
But we do have a higher chance of having JB 4.2.2 + Sense 5, in case xda-geniuses will be able to port it from One S sometime later this year.
Our Sensations will most likely get a Sense 5 port at some point (after July 2013). I Read somewhere that the Viper Team was supposedly already working on it. The software side shouldn't be too big of a problem to port, the hardware part is the real challenge (eg camera). Viper already have a JB kernel for Sensation as they just released a JB, Sense 4+ ROM, however it still has quite a few issues (no camera, no HDMI and other little bugs).
In the meantime, you can flash ViperS 1.6.3 and install Sense 5 skin, icons, lockscreen and UCCW widgets to (sorta) mimic Sense 5. If you really can't wait, just buy the HTC One
