Since I naively installed the update, I've been stuck on stock since November. In anticipation of finally being able to unlock, I wanted to ask which ROM I should use. Here's my requirements:
- Stock SMS app
- HTC Camera
- As much stock as possible -> people app, dialer, etc. I would prefer absolutely no Sense, but I can live with it in the Settings and stuff if necessary
- prefer 4.2, but 4.1 is acceptable
Thanks for any advice...
viper rom if you want sense 4+ still. it's the best one out there.

What you are asking is not possible. The HTC camera depends on the htc framework. Your best bet is to flash desense viper or flash something like pac. Stock HTC camera isnt that big of a deal. There is an app on the play store that is basically the stock messaging app, but it did not work well on viper for me.
I personally hate the update to the HTC camera lol I like being able to take more then one pic at once but now u take a pic, then I have to accept it, and then it closes lol.... Way too many steps IMO

What are you talking about?
You may have review duration on... Turn it off, it's then instant... You can also hold down the camera button for burst mode...
I always love uninformed people just throwing incorrect info around...

And to the OP what you're asking for is not really possible.
You can download a desensed ROM... Most of the features (not all) will be there, but it'll still be Sense.
As for 4.2.2, unless the butterfly dump gets ported, or VZW either has an update to this phone or an HTC One on the horizon, your best bet is a AOSP based ROM.
It has nothing to do with being uninformed, I've gone through the camera options multiple times and googled the crap out if it but that option just is not there for me.

I can report that this camera is working for me on RezRom S4.
Even the options to use the volume keys to take pics works!
I'm sure this thing may have some bugs, but I haven't found any yet (other than the preview doesn't fit the screen right), and it seems less buggy to me than the ported Sense 4 cameras.
Link to original thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867966
It works fine on ViperRez; however, you do lose 720p front facing video, and the preview screen doesn't fit our whole screen size (Like mentioned above). It would be awesome if someone, dev or none dev, could get this working properly for our sense 4 ROMs.

I also noticed that attempting to capture a picture while recording saves a pure white image, and causes the video to not save properly and makes the app lag when trying to stop recording.
Long story short, don't try to capture image while recording video.

Anyone know if our awesome devs have gotten this working 100% yet? Is it included in any of the current rom's?
I wonder if Newts Endeavor 1.0.0 4.5 ROM's camera have these bugs smoothed out, I havn't flashed it yet since we are waiting for a patch to fix an issue or two.
That would be awesome. I want that camera really bad. Do you know if it's in newts Rom?

Thanks, I think I'll give it a try. Still may not be a daily driver due to the camera.
The siii camera is available for aosp roms, and pretty good
Just can't beat the sense camera software though. I hear jb and sense 4x have improved camera software. 29fps, better focus, ect
Sent from my EVO
I've been meaning to ask a similar question, this seems like a good thread to bring up a discussion about what parts of Sense you miss in AOSP.
For me, definitely the camera. Beats audio is another one.
You can get the Sense clock widget in a .apk that works in other launchers.
Is there anything else?
Shortcuts, sense has a buttload of shortcuts that I can't live without. Plus the ui is great looking. Also quick settings. Sure everything is in ics and jb as well but its just not as polished.
Sent from my Sac23/Chubbz Roms using xda premium
Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. What kind of shortcuts?
Im guessing he was referring to widgets.
I wonder if jb sense has the function where you could go to the gallery straight from the camera by swiping to the left. I loved that in stock jb.

I'm pretty sure Sense 5 will come to our HOX+ but the question is if it's worth updating ?
I currently am not impressed with its blinkfeed which is apparently the main deal with sense 5 I mean we already have apps for that such as pulse and flipboard that gathers all your news on your interested topics and works brilliantly, plus that clock and weather widget is the ugliest i've ever seen...
guy's please tell me im not alone here in thinking that sense 4/4+ looks much better??
and so the main question of this thread is "if we get a sense 5 update since technically its only running on jellybean 4.1 and not 4.2 it means its just a UI update, will you update? and if yes or no why??

Your not alone. I also think 4+ looks better. Hopefully by then there will be many AOSP ROMs for the ATT variant and I won't have to worry about upgrading a sense ROM. But if I had to choose I wouldn't take my time to update it unless it was a major update (like 4.2. X)

As far as I know, there should be PARTIAL sense 5 port for the devices released before hTC One. Let's see...
Agreed, I don't like the static flat colourles icons and ill bet that blink feed will chew some battery, looks like a social only version of Google now and disabling that saves a nice bit of battery.
launcher looks a bit dull from vids I've seen.
Be interesting to see what they do with the camera app and driver quality for hox+.

i acctually had a play with a htc one in my local 3 uk store today.
i acctually did not like the look of the phone at all and sense 5 is to me anyway horrible.
and with an upfront cost of £69 imho its a rip of.
i have the one x plus and i see no reason to get the htc one.
its as with all phone manufactures its a sales gimmick there is allways something better than what u have
but is it really better i for one are not convinced the htc one is better than my htc one x plus.
maybe it is better but i dont care as the hox plus does it all and more from a handset.

How do you guys like it? I'm still tempted to go bareback and toss sense out. I gave it a shot, awesome job guys, but don't like how it wants to stuff facebook in my face all the time. If there is a way to reorganize the main page I haven't seen it. Ended up nandroiding back to meanbean 3.09 for now. Runs slick as glass. If I download and install the bareback superlte does that include the camera drivers so there is no loss in quality/functionality?
Also what is svn lol. I just downloaded the sense 5 port directly to my phone and flashed it, s-off, but I keep reading Bout svn. Is that update software? With meanbean I just used the ota updater.
Sorry kinda new
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I absolutely love it.
I don't use Facebook either, so I froze it using app quarantine from the play store and it doesn't pop up anywhere anymore.
Svn is a way to get the latest updates without having to download the whole file. It downloads only the parts that have been updated reducing download time.
You also get downloads in advance.
Switching main screen is in the pinch on home screen widgets layout. You hold the screen you want selected in that window and drag it to main.
I love sense 5. Smoothest ROM I've ever had, especially with the arc reactor kernel.
I currently also have a 7582 quadrant score because of the ROM.
Turtlesvn is a svn client (I think that's its name) from there follow the thread listed about svn to get it set up.
I will never go back to sense 4.5 or aosp, they are farrrrr behind sense 5 and I know when you get it figured out you will agree.
Have fun!

svn is a version control system that developers use to check in their code. It allows other devs to pull the changes down to their machines to make sure they're working with the latest files. The sense 5 repository is public, so anyone can pull down the files needed to flash the rom, but it's still intended more for the developers.

I love Sense 5. Personally, I think it's the best thing to happen to Sense. It feels like Cyanogenmod and HTC had a baby. It's zippy, it's smart, it's gorgeous to look at, and it's simple (For some people, too simple lol http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-sense-5-app-drawer-making-simple-complicated )
Link feed is pretty neat I have to say. I can't wait for a working gallery so I can see in person how the zoe moments work. And I can't wait to see how the devs theme it.

I think it's the best version of sense yet. I hate sense and only used it when I needed to do something that wasn't working in AOSP, AOKP, etc. Sense 5 is actually very handy and flexible. The development of the port seems to be coming along very nicely and my hat's of to all of them!
Also, igotlostintampa has done a kicka$$ job of putting together a great FAQ that has helped me greatly in getting this to be a DD.

Sense 5 is the first OEM skin I've ever used that I feel is as cohesive and attractive as stock Android. It's better than Touchwiz, better than not-Blur, better than Optimus UI, and most importantly, WAY better than any prior version of Sense. I think I've finally found an AOSP replacement. I was actually planning to buy an Optimus G on eBay and sell this phone, but Sense 5 has convinced me to stick with the Evo. Using Arc Reactor kernel 0.41 (1.7) along with Sense 5, this phone is pretty close to the G performance-wise despite only having 2 CPU cores.

I initially said I liked Sense 5, but have since changed my mind. I don't like the blink feed being forced on me. I can't remove it nor can I change what page it is. I feel as if HTC just watered Sense down. It is very light. Not so much a UI anymore, buy more of a skin or theme similar to Touchwiz. I know this move will be praised by some, but if you're a fan of Sense, you might be disappointed as I am. I like the Sense widgets. Now they are either watered down to look more AOSP or simply gone. No HTC bookmarks, no HTC Music. Calendar looks weak. I keep flashing the newest daily in an attempt to like it (as this is the future) but I keep coming back to my nandroid. I give the Devs all the respect in the world and this rant is in no way a reflection of my thoughts to their hard work to bring the port to us. I'm grateful to have the ability to try it.

OK. Back to AOKP for me. Tried it for about 2hrs to check it out, and the devs have done an amazing job, but sense is still painful compared to AOKP to me. HTC did do better with multitasking, a lot (unless it was the wicked xda devs that fixed that). Still, sense is too blocky and in my face for me to use.
That said, there were a few cool new features, like if you have a contact that is Google and Facebook , sense gives you option to pick which icon pic. Cool, but doesn't stand a chance against AOKP/Rootbox/slim bean/CM.
Wish I knew what all the sense users see. Hell, there's not even an email widget (which 4.1.2+ has now).

Depends on how much the camera is crippled in AOSP, but I'm certainly going to try it out.
<3 AOSP but the camera software will bet the deal breaker if any.
They said that it will produce comparable images to the Sense version, but obviously stuff like Zoes won't make it over to the AOSP camera. Really interested in trying it out, particularly when it comes to the current AOSP based ROMs and how it will improve them.
I like that it'll have beats all the time.

I picked the One over the S4 mainly because I find sense a lot more tolerable compared to TouchWiz though (especially with nova launcher and google keyboard) - until the GE is out.
Already dumped Sense, running CM.
Is there already any announcements if Google will make the rom available to everyone who wants to install it? Can't wait to get sense out of my phone.
