Sense design & play apps - HTC One X

I'm now on htc one x for a while after gnexus. I like the sense design since my old HTC desire.
A thought came into my mind and I don't know if it is possible: As some apps design doesn't go with with the sense design, I think apps programmer should consider two versions of their apps. One is normal and one is for sense. What do you think?

HTC do release a SDK so apps can be designed to look like sense but most developers don't use it.

And another for touchwiz.
As well as a completely new one for iPhone (objective c), and a completely different one for Windows Phone (.net), and again for BlackBerry (java) and, well, you know what? It's too much work, people don't even want to pay for apps.

You might be correct. But some decent apps that are needed and we pay for could do it I think.
As for touchwiz, I believe it looks like pure android where in sense the design is different. For example, one app I'm using "memories" provided a sense theme.
Anyway, this was a thought that I wish it could happen. And, I'm still alive without it too

Yet apps are being developed for all those platforms so something must be wrong with your theory .

I'm saying that the reason why apps aren't also developed specifically with Sense in mind is likely due to the fact that the additional overhead is not worth it.

Newly Discover HTC One X bug!

Hey guys,
I've recently discovered a loop hole in the Sense 4 lockscreen on the One X. It would be greatly appreciated if you bring awareness to this issue. Unfortunately, since this is my first post, I am unable to include any links to the YouTube video I have made. Hopefully I can post it as a reply to this thread because its very interesting.
I think I'm the only one that knows about this. So please comment if you have this issue too.
I'm guessing you mean where you can get the ICS entry screen on the security lock?

ICS lockscreen on Sense 4
Yeah the stock ICS lockscreen instead of Sense 4 lockscreen. Has this issue been discussed before?

No, but if your the guy that left a comment on the Engadget post about HTC and left a link to your video too than its your video I've seen.
I wouldn't call it a bug, as it doesn't affect the system in a negative way, in fact I think it looks better then the Sense overlay they added.

Haha small world! I have the Galaxy Nexus and it was my brothers One X. He always tells me to find a way to disable Sense or find a ROM that uses the Stock ICS. He believes that native ICS on the One X would be the best.
I'm loving my Galaxy Nexus, can't wait to get my hands on the Galaxy S 3 and so excited to see what the next Nexus would be like.
It kinda sucks that I can't post the YouTube link here though.

Hey dude, I'm the guy with the funny voice talking about the glitch with the HTC Sense, I've been looking for a Custom ROM which runs on the Vanilla ICS for the One X but I have been unlucky
If you ever come across any good build Custom ROMS please do let me know.
Cheers, and do pass the link around, perhaps someone would know how to bypass the HTC Sense without having to complete it replacing it

Until you get enough posts to include links, you can always get around that by putting spaces in the URL, which people can then remove.

I was going to get the Nexus, but then the One X sorta got dragged into the equation and it was purely because of the displays that I went for the One X. I probably would have gone for the One S were it non-pentile. I don't care what you say, the One X is pure gorgeous compared to the S3

I'd do a search for you, but I'm using my phone at the moment not a computer and I'm extremely busy. If you browse the development section of the One X forums I know for a fact there is a One X Vanilla ROM. Don't bother searching, just go OneX>Development and browse around those top threads, plenty of other ROM's there too. It'll likely be on page 1 or 2.

Yeah I personally didn't like the design of the Galaxy S 3, the One X does look sexy but ever since my Sensation XE I've lost interest in HTC Sense. The Galaxy S 3 interface intrigues me although I hate Touchwiz. Well, I wouldn't mind giving it a try by the time the next Nexus comes out

I agree, Sense 3 was too heavy, Sense 3.5 was a fail and despite being created in tandem with Sense 4, Sense 3.6 really doesn't improve much.
Sense 4, different story. Still unstable, but give it a few months
Samsung's are only fast because they have **** software on then, that's an opinion not a fact. Touchwiz offers NO functionality more than the Stock Vanilla launcher, so why bother?
S3 + Vanilla hits the spot, but so does the One X

The one thing I long for on my phone is the time when the phone is locked. Old devices used to do it, like old Nokia's and the Lumia Symbian devices
For me, Sense improves the overall experience. I see Sense as an OS. Really it is Sense featuring Android, not Android featuring Sense, but that just shows how dedicated to improving and innovating software HTC are, now optimization is the key!
Phones need something like Windows Update, exploits and problems are found all the time, but fixes are never rolled out individually unless they are extremely crucial.

Thanks for pointing the space technique out bro, I was aware of it but could be bothered spacing it as jaaystott has already provided the link.lol
I've noticed a lot bugs mostly with the stock browser which I hardly use (mostly using Chrome), and I think HTC should invest a little more time on it as it's their flag-ship, but I'm also disappointed with how the One S beats the One X in all benchmarks. tsk tsk tsk....
Hopefully a well built ROM (Vanilla ICS) will come along and will get rid of all the heavy stuff in HTC Sense and will give a bit of an extra boost performance wise.

Firefox OS

Mozilla just released nightlies for their boot2gecko operating system http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ would any of the amazing developers on the One X forum be able to port it?
sounds interesting, would love to test once it's ported over to our lovely phone.

Really, So what obsticles does the One X face it can't overcome that SGS2 could? As the earlier version of Firefox OS, Boot2geko was ported over to the SGS2 (and a few others android phones as well I believe)

I believe this is because the software of the HD2 is completely open. This enables developers to port android, meego, windows phone, and recently even Windows RT on it.
Developers can only do so much is the source isn't fully open.

HD2 has S-Off, which means it's possible to change every partition, including how the OS boots. In case you haven't noticed, we don't have access to all of our partitions because we don't have S-Off. Given that everybody apart from you is so dumb, can you tell us how to boot arbitrary OSs?

But interesting more than Firefox OS
It might be possible but it would need to much hard work and effort to do so, since we are not only S-ON but Tegra 3, to witch it's very hard to port to...
It's just wouldn't pay off, as there might be like 100 people, like you, who would even consider installing Firefox OS OR any other non-android OS, since it is hard to do to a normal user as well...

[q] [discussion] HTC One port possible?

Is anybody as excited as I am about the HTC One? Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing a port to our One X.
Can anybody see a reason why this would never happen?
Good Question. I am also interested. But the first problem should be solved first. It's the screen problem. hTC One has a full 1080p screen and One X only has 720p. So everything is needed to resize.
Sorry about my bad English.

That does pose an issue straight away. But surely it wouldn't be the first time we've seen a cross-resolution port? Then again, none pop to mind
What about starting with Sense 5, or even just some things like messaging etc. All depending of intirgration with the new framework i suppose. We'd really need the input from a developer here.
Android is famous for its abilities to change resolution on demand. In fact its one if the best things in my opinion. Just look at the clambook pro coming out soon, it amplifies your device screen to its own. Source
I'm curious to see if we can port the new Zoe feature for the camera, as i don't know if it depends 100% on the camera sensor of the HTC One, or it might be more of a software implementation, rather than hardware. Saw the video of the new camera interface and features and I gotta say, it's awesome.
Waiting to see if a port will be possible :fingers-crossed:

Well, like some devs did for the SII initially, we'll have to start with resizing all the images to XHDPI, rather than its 1080P screen.
However, many of the features, like the camera might not work, since it depends on the new Image Sense chip and new hardware altogether AFAIK, so we would need to make or edit custom drivers and libs, which, is very difficult, not impossible tho AFAIK.
Hope this project is a successful one, Good Luck, and I'm here to contribute, of any help/contribution is needed

You won't be able to port from the HTC One because of the screen res. By the time you finish resizing anything HTC would've released a new phone with Sense 5 and an XHDPI screen. Wait for that, then port.
As for the gallery and stuff it looks like it'd be a imagechip thing after the image has taken and is generated either in the camera app or in the background. If it is a CPU/GPU thing that launches when you use gallery it'll probably drain your battery pretty quickly using it, considering all the images you'll probably have.
If it is an imagechip thing you'll need to hack the camera app to use the old imagechip library. That might not work either though. So test it.

Yeah we're probably not getting sense 5.
Note how HTC never said the Sense 5 update and instead just said a general update. They have done this with other HTC products like the Sensation and its update to Sense 4. Instead of updating it to sense 4 they made sense 3.5. I see a similar thing happening for this phone.
But let's hope I'm wrong.

Devices is no problem, it's rom comparison (software) that's not allowed.

It all depends what you want from the device. I would go for the bigger screen and performance

One mini has smaller screen than the one x. 4.3" 720p

I would still go for the One X. Mainly because of the better camera, processor and the screen size, boomsound isn't necessary for me right now

I would go for one mini, its a newer phone and just better user expirience using it, and if you are not happy, just sell it and buy one x again with some spare money left, no brainer for me.
Just from the POV of software updates, the One Mini is a much better choice. As we all know the HOX has been abandoned.

But only a small bit. In the future, a new version of android will come out, only for it to be impossible to port it to this phone because of its CPU and the lack of kernel sources because Nvidia ditched it.

Nobody knows that for sure. We may get it or not. Devs build on old sources cm11 first and it worked so we will see

It's correct, but in past there are much devices, wich are no longer supported so much after HTC kill official update way. And for Users who love the Sense UI (e. g. me) it is better to go to a new phone from HTC to get updates.
BTW: i think it is better to wait a little bit (a few months) with buying a new HTC Phone. If HTC launched new One M8 phone, the old M7 will be cheaper.

Sense 6

Will u think That there will be a Sense 6 Rom for our One x (or even an official update ) ?
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk
It's a question ?......open it in the Q&A section next time.
No not official.....maybe bits and pieces will be ported if someone is geeky enough to put their time and effort in it. But the complete sense 6 framework will never be ported.
The new apk system for sense 6 ingredients will make pouring parts of sense 6 easier . And to be honest I think porting all sense 6 to HTC sensation will be much easier than porting it to the more powerful HIX

Well, this is the reason why HTC is in the global position where it is. They do not care for their costumers, then we have our way to punish companies by boycotting their products.
If IPhone 4 can still receive updates (7.1 version) after almost 4 years, why our ONE X which are very good phones and powerfull can not receive 4.4 ?

Be ready HTC for boycott. Will never ever taste your products. (This is my strongest position to f.... you up).
Well if they use qualcomm and play it smart they might... Just get out of the slumber

It isn't completely HTC's fault. Nvidia has dropped support for the Tegra3 chipset, which makes it extremely hard for HTC to release and official Android 4.4 update since they don't have the necessary drivers.
However, I don't know how custom rom developers CAN get Android 4.4 running well on the HOX while HTC can't..
But the good part of the new sense is the new apk system . Now zoe, BlinkFeed and home launcher each has it's own apk file available at the play store . So we can expect porting of some sense 6 elements to our device .
And beside I wouldn't get surprised to see in near future HTC sensation to receive a full firmware port of sense 6 and we still stand still with sense 5 on HOX

Yeah right.. if custom Rom developers can make kitkat run smoothly on one x than why can't htc ? They have a bigger development team..

KitKat ROM's available for our phone doesn't have Sense framework. Only AOSP or similar. So that's your answer. If Devs can build sense onto that then fair enough but Sense is closed source I believe so what can we do?!
Its close source that's why developers cant make kitkat Rom for oneX..
I am damn sure if it was open source, xda's great developers would have made sense based kitkat rom for hox
Ok . HTC CAN force nvidia to provide updates to tegra3 chips as Google had managed to get kitkat's kernel from nvidia for it's own variant if tegra3 chip on nexus 7 tablet

no HTC etc can't force them...they can ask if they could provide updates...but nvidia doesn't want that..the tegra 3 in nexus 7 is different to that in hox and is running also a bit better...for example games are running better etc...so hm

I know, but they've proven that KitKat AOSP runs smoothly on our One X. I think if KitKat AOSP can run on our phone, Sense 6 can too..?
But well, it won't happen... At least not as an official update.

It's due to the lack of drivers for our processor. While the other variants of HTC One X that uses a Qualcomm processor can have the new versions of Android and Sense. I believe they are already evaluating the 4.3 ROM for the Evita.
