Stop trying to be different only in the look

users need real difference: cool functionalities.

For a different look? launchers are enough.

Yup. This is why I don't complain about skins as far as the look goes. Of course, they do delay updates (I wish manufacturers would release a "clean" version of Android and a skinned one for each phone and let the users decide individually). However, the look shouldn't be a concern with the proper launcher/lockscreen combo.

Bad thing there is live tiles are proving one of the biggest turn offs for customers,vast majority of customers dislike them and windows phone sales have suffered agonisingly over it.

With an upgrade due I'm open minded this year weither to go for the s4,note 3,xperia z,or whatever htcs offerings might be. If the new sense ends up like this htc might be late off the starting block for me,although if the hardware and design are excellent a custom launcher could always replace sense 5.0

or you could just flash and custom rom,

Where are you reading that Live Tiles are turning people off? That's honestly the first I've heard of it and I work at a cell phone company. The single biggest complaint I've heard with WP is the lack of apps...

Sense 5 looks good enough but why arre the dock icons so cartoonish?

I am gonna buy ip5 because of bad design of new android phones

You're saying the Nexus 4, Sony Xperia Z and HTC Droid DNA have bad designs? Have fun using a phone with the same design for the past three generations.

And same UI design for the past FIVE generations.

Yeah, that was one of the many reasons I liked sense. What is happening now with sense 5.0? I still want the old version of sense for example the sensation(with those spinning carousel when you switch between homescreens and other 3d animations and eye candy icons)

Hey don't knock it till you try it. You never know, it might actually be very pleasing in motion. Let's ust see how this plays out.

I hated that spinning caroussel

22. SuperAndroidEvo posted on 22 Jan 2013, 07:23 1 2

Yeah it was cool for the first day or so then it really lost it's luster. I remember that from the HTC Evo 3D days. lol

I installed a mod to stop it from happening. just wanting to change from one screen to another, but if you swiped a little too hard the caroussel kicked in and you have to wait for it to stop spinning, so you could then change screen.

So is your face.

same question here.. I hope HTC made some performace optimizations.
Sense 4 was a real RAM hog...
I like the minimalist-like approach of the leaked Sense.. I hope RAM consumption is at t minimum too.

the new Sense 5 looks like ICS icons spray painted in matte white and steam ironed ..we are going to miss the Greatness of Sense ,

13. kobainez posted on 22 Jan 2013, 06:30 5 1

Try sony ui

24. Retro-touch posted on 22 Jan 2013, 07:30 0 6

Sense 4+ on One X is a joke, can't even open more than one tab at a time, just a waste, can thumb me down, but HTC financials speak for themselves, FAIL!!!! The screen and build quality are awesome, thank god for CM10 and AOKP

37. OptimusOne posted on 22 Jan 2013, 09:59 1 0

sense 4.1 and asense 4+ are different things...

sense 4.1 is based on ICS
sense 4+ is based on JB

18. RaKithAPeiRiZ posted on 22 Jan 2013, 06:38 1 0

i guess the 4+ version of sense and the one x were the last two greatest HTC products

wow....did u really? i swore to myself as soon as i got my droid incredible (which i sold now) that i would TAKE DOWN THOSE LARGE CLOCKS! lol they took up way too much space for me...

28. andro. posted on 22 Jan 2013, 07:45 3 0

you can easily get sense clock widgets on the play store in countless shapes and forms

44. EclipseGSX posted on 22 Jan 2013, 13:29 2 1

Yes, but they are not the same, I like the flip motion and the others look off

43. EclipseGSX posted on 22 Jan 2013, 13:28 1 1

I know WTF, I love that clock. HTC, why has thou forsaken me?

47. Charlie_boy posted on 22 Jan 2013, 15:54 2 0

yeah.. the clock widget was really iconic for its time..
hope they still have it.

I believe first few are comparison shots.
I thought the same at first.

buddy changed his post, ill leave mine as it was meant.

48. Charlie_boy posted on 22 Jan 2013, 15:59 0 0

I believe pics 3 and 4 are side by side comparison..

If that's the case, good by ring.. how are we gonna unlock an htc phone? :p

30. jed27 posted on 22 Jan 2013, 07:51 1 0

and they should also increase the rosie to at least 5x7, a 4.5" to 5" screen is too small for a 4x4 rosie. Oh well, Apex does the job just fine, especially when paired with DCikonZ! :)

31. AfterShock posted on 22 Jan 2013, 08:17 1 0

Agreed, increase row count on home screen please.

HAHA! Looks like I have a hater. You're pathetic!
