Sense vs. No sense - HTC One X+

Hey all,
I just wanted to gather everyones opinions on Sense 4+ vs an ONE X+ without sense. What has been your reason to desense or keep sense on your device? I'm asking for opinions here because I want to see what the main difference is between the two and I want you're input in the subject. Thanks!

ATT X+'s have no choice but to stay on sense right now

Pure Vanilla is awesome
Sense is not bad at all comparing to tochwiz skin but pure vanilla is soo fast and soo sweet..........!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe its a truly personal choice.
On my DS - I always used AOKP ROM or other AOSP based ROMs...
But as of now - I have no issues with Sense ROMs on HOX+ .... It has enough muscle and RAM to chew up whatever Sense throws at it. And you can't deny the fact that Senese IS an eyecandy .
Never faced any lag or anything in any of the Sense based ROMs I have tried on my HOX+...

I thought. Is it because the ATT version doesn't have S OFF yet? I don't mind sense. I just wanted input. I wanna try pure vanilla one day. Google nexus don't really catch my eye tho. HTC all the way!

None of the X+'s have S-OFF and it's an issue with incall routing (mic and earpiece not activating during phone call)
otherwise you guys would have had a rom months ago

not so long ago i ve found a "desensing" thing in an other HTC device's forum (here on XDA) but i can't remember the program s name nor the device s name... :/ maybe Desire S (or HD) i used twice on Sense 4+ cause it was kinda laggy, after it was prety smooth!
the program had the abbility to erase some sense or all of it and maybe a third possibility, it was blue and whit and had to be run via recovery.
if anybody knows this [email protected] name let me know!!!

I've had my One X+(Int) since January and kept it with sense until a WK ago using the venom ROM, and I must admit I was happy with it when I'd compare it to my old Desire.
There wasn't much in the way of lag and it felt snappy enough in day to day use.
However in the past WK since swapping to a CM ROM its like a new phone. Lightening quick, never a hint of lag and with proper multi tasking. I don't know if every one else had this problem but with the stock ROM and with Venom if you changed between apps with more than a minute or two time lapse the app would have to reload. Where as now, on CM, if you swap between apps they're waiting for you exactly as they were. Proper multi tasking.
I'm firmly in the vanilla android camp.

I found Sense 4+ < AOSP < Sense 5 for speed.
To add, this is my perception in everyday use, not benchmarked scientifically.
Sense 4+ was Viper and stock HTC. AOSP was CM. Sense 5 by Insertcoin.

Sense HD?

Hi
I am only getting this phone because it is the best specification phone I haven't tried the touch Whizzo but HTC make the best software but not phones unfortunately
So I am asking will any1 be able to port sense HD?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well I've made a Sense theme for CM7, so as soon as the Galaxy S2 gets CM7, which I'm sure will happen fast, you can use the theme on it... far easier than porting a sense rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11660869
edit: then again, you still won't have sense app enhancements and stuff, but something is better than nothing right?
why does everyone want this.. the phne is not even out yet.. if you really want sense go buy a htc phone ad quit whinning.
thanks for the theme,
and yeah i do have a htc phone but this samsung galaxy s 2 has the best specs than any htc phone so this phone combined with htc sense will be a beast!
Does any one think this can happen?

Sense is overrated.
Yes you should be able to use HTCs Sence UI because Exynos is using NEON whereas Tegra2 doesnt.
Depends which 1 phones 4 u supplies because there are to versions

Meh, I was never too fond of Sense. Using my friend's Inspire for a few minutes though, I found that it was nicer than all of the other stock launchers.
I didn't like not being able to edit the total number of screens though.
I too, am interested in this. It gives people options so why not port Sense over? I want to see whether they can port all those cool features over like flipping their phone over to silence a call or ringing louder in a bag.
What about sense 3.0 the sgs2 with the new sense will be amazing

No please not the disney version of sense.
Don't get me wrong, but those colors on the sensation....brrrr..... welcome to disney.
I would really love to see a Sense port but it will be very hard to port it... the only successful ports are for devices with identical specs - example Sense from Desire on Nexus One...
There was a port for the Galaxy S but it had too much things that don't work and were very hard to solve (as Sense and drivers are not open source)...
Loved sense on windows mobile especially combined with the white GTX theme on my hd2,
but can't say I'm a big fan of it on android. Weird, I know, or maybe not so weird,
since I like a minimal clean look better, not screens cluttered with widgets.
Am tied in between in getting a sensation or sgs2 hardware wise galaxy s 2 wins but HTC sense is far better than touch wiz that's why we need a port
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I'd like to see a sense port. However only for the sake of having a bigger variety of roms to flash.
I found that when I had my Inspire that Sense was way to bloated for me. I gave it a fair shot but for now I prefer TW over Sense. But AOSP > Any carrier software.
I would just stick with TouchWiz or go for AOSP if possible. Sense looks cool and all, but a port is as easy as it seems. More so, theming will be the solution for time being.

Actually this is false http://www.xda-developers.com/android/nexus-s-gets-a-desire-s-port-and-sense/

Vote: What flavor of ICS do you want worked on most?

Maybe some devs are just blown away by the options - or maybe they don't think this device is that popular? Blow them away by voting and showing how in demand their services are - and for what!
There is a lot of variety out there right now- and with the official ICS leak these things SHOULD be much more possible, so let me ask you what flavor of ICS do you want the most?
All examples are from vibrant because I have tested all of them on my old phone.. many of the more popular devices have them all.
Ports/official:
Slim ICS - Clean, Simple, and fast - the google way - as barebone aosp as it gets.(Can you say a 75mb download?)
Something like MIUI - A feature heavy nearly total redesign of Android - everything about this type of rom is different - but most of you probably know that. Easily themable in every aspect. Some of the features are here(don't forget it takes advantage of all the new features of ICS)
AOSP(Android open source project) - Either official CM9 or pure AOSP - the stock experience without our blessed "SenseUI" we all have come to love/hate - CM9 of course has some extra features.. and is also easily themable.
AOKP(Android open kang project) - Much like a feature rich version of CM9, while still aiming at a stock experience - if you want to know the differences click here(or check some of the features here)
SenseUI+ - Do you just want modified Senseui with some tweaks? Maybe some root, crt displays, power menu options.. just a stock+ experience? If so go to the development section, it has only been a week yet some good roms seem to be popping up all over(*cough* signature *cough*).
I like stock - HTC and Tmobile decide what I should use, and that's the way I like it! The most I could ask for, if I was feeling risky, is to get a little bit of root. Maybe.
Gingerbread - Damn this new radio! My battery sucks! Life sucks! How dare they leak a rom that isn't even finished! Those @ss&*#(s!
I'm gonna buy a new phone - You guys are noobs, I'm gonna buy a new phone!
If I missed an option, I'm sorry.. send me a PM and I'll see if I can add it to the list- but these are some of the choices out there, maybe help out devs and the potential ones alike by shouting at them all in one place!(rather than in their threads- I'm pretty sure they hate that.)

And yet there is no vote for MIUI? What gives?
I haven't seen that sense4 has enough improvements over 3.6, and then there is the fact that many of those features were integrated into ICS anyways.. is it worth the slowdown?
Now Miui on the other hand has some really original features..
I voted on MIUI after posting. Had it on my HD2 and couldn't wish for anything better!

CM9. Would love to play around with Sense 4.0, though.

sense 4 rom?

Is anyone thinking about making a Sense 4 ROM for the fascinate??? Would be much appreciated.
Unlikely at best considering the framework isn't compatible with our phone. You could try to theme your phone to get it to look like Sense but that's probably the best you'll do.
If you want Sense you should get an HTC phone.
other guy is trying to be nice about it but the answer is no way, sense is completely dependent on the hardware of the phones it runs on. it might be possible to port sense 2 to our phone but I don't think you could pay a dev enough to do the amount of work required.

Some people like the experience.
Personally I find the new versions of sense to be super bloated. TOuchwiz and Sense have essentially swapped roles.
IMO:
Sense < Touchwiz < AOKP (or other AOSP variant)
Its not that I like sense that much.... I used to have a droid incredible 2 and I hated it before I rooted it and put cm7 on it. I was one of the people who got to trade in their fassy for the incredible 2. i ended up giving the incredible to my girlfriend and I bought another fassy on ebay lol. But anyways, the new version of sense looks like its come a long way and I was just wondering if anyone was thinking of having it on a fascinate.

Although I think that had more to do with timing than anything. OG owners were locked into two year contract. It's one of the reasons that I'm not getting an evo lte.

The only reason I have one is from doing an insurance claim when I broke my evos screen. Offered me a 3d and I took it. I wouldn't have spent an upgrade on it though. Same with the evo lte. Not worth a 2 year contract imo. I'm waiting for the next nexus phone or maybe something else if it really impresses me.

Evo LTE 4.2.1 with Sense?

I purchased my LTE specifically for sense. I like sense even if some people do not. I have read on here where people are not going with 4.2 because it does not have sense. I have tested a few roms tonight that do not have sense. I still would rather have sense...
Million dollar question... When is someone going to make a rom with sense?
I actually found a 4.5 sense and beats zip but for some reason when I try to load it the thing is locked out for my device...

I am really warming up the the CM10.1 4.2 build but still miss some of the features of sense. I wish the clock would automatically select my location like with sense. Or when you click the clock see weather or alarm depending on where you click. The stock camera is also jacked up as well. I lost slow motion options.
You should try one of the De-sensed roms. I.e. sos, bareback, etc
It keeps the best things about sense like camera, but is pretty much like cm10 everywhere else

The weather should still detect your location on AOSP. Or use any one of a thousand different clock widgets from the market. And yes, they too, will go to weather or clock depending on where you click. Many are much nicer than what HTC has to offer, and some are identical.
