[Q] Will XDA port over the missing features from Desire S/HD/Z to the ThunderBolt? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With the news from Demo units not having access to HTCsense.com or HTC Hub and other Sense HD/Z apps being removed from the ThunderBolt, will we possibly see Devs on this forum porting them over to the ThunderBolt from the Desire S/HD/Z?
Great apps like HTC Hub, HTC Likes, HTC Locations and HTC Maps aren't present on the device, and it was reported at CES that it wouldn't have HTCsense.com integration because of Verizon not allowing it.
I don't think thats a big deal if we can get the Devs here to get them up and running on our ThunderBolts shortly after launch.
Am I right developers?

I'm pretty sure it will be ported
I'm hoping we will get virus to port his z Rom over

No HTC Hub :-(

Sucks that the Thunderbolt does not have HTC Hub :-(
HTCSense.com
I talked to HTC yesterday and they said that the Thunderbolt will have Sense 2.0, so HTCsense.com should be available. Perhaps they just haven't updated the Web site yet?
Yea I know it has the new Sense but does the Thunderbolt give the option to sign into Htcsense.com when you go through the setup process
It does not contain the HTC hub....very strange

From what I've gathered from elsewhere... It seems that VZW might have requested that it not be allowed. We'll have to see what comes of it though.
It's definitely not here. I love it on my Inspire. Shame they pulled it
Cool thanks guys, that sucks I was excited about the sense.com features, I'm thinking it was pulled to conserve battery

[Q] HTC Hub?

Is this app/feature still something HTC contributes to on the One X and EVO LTE?
Its kinda dead on the EVO 4G and Jetstream devices... Did it die off with htcsense.com or is there something new brewing there?
Though, its actually something I really enjoy, if they would do something like, a weeky, bimonthly, or even a monthly update. I would get so excited to see what new wallpapers or sounds htc had to offer.
I think I read in the manual that it is still there. Not sure if it has advanced any though.

Redesigned but not really improved. Couldn't find apps like Fashlight & other HTC specific apps.

Ics and sense 4

I'm running a rom with ics and and sense 4. Although there are a fee bugs, it's works darn good. So my question is, why is our official sprint rom going to be Ics with sense 3.6?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Probably because they began work on the evo 3d and sensation when sense 4 didn't exist, or maybe it's a marketing ploy to get people to buy their new phones.
Chances are it's the latter of the two.
Give it time and we'll probably have sense 4 running with 3D cam, i can't ever see games working personally but i think it's a small price to pay.
sense 4 contains something called 'ImageSense'. Its a hardware related piece of software which is why other "legacy" handsets aren't getting it. Only the new devices from the one series onwards are officially getting it.
sooner or late once they figure out the components for what we need for a sense 4 ROM to work with our devices then we'll get the ROM mashups we all need and want ( Sense 4.0 + 3D camera + 3D screen) .....till then we're stuck with 3.6
I believe the Rom I loaded is sense 4. It's actually nice and light weight.

yes but it doesn't include the imagesense hardware and software that htc are talking about. Those have been removed by the devs who port these things to our device.

Any themers out there ??

I would like an ICS theme making for an HTC flyer to run with my ROM That I am creating.

Mcluvin was working on some sense skins but think he hit a wall hasn't been any updates in a while don't think sense skins will help with sense removed tho
sent from my Verizon Wireless HTC EVO 3D
May try n port some of the other 3.6 themes from other devices to the flyer who knows may work
sent from my Verizon Wireless HTC EVO 3D
I could give it a go if you want still? I themed the G1 back in the day and my nexus s but haven't wanted to theme since ICS but I could help I've actually been working on car brand themes for people you mount tablets into their dashes too.

HTC One X Line to Get Sense 5 Update

HTC just verified in their Facebook page that their One X (and others) will be getting a Sense 5 UI update (excluding some HTC One specific functions). What do you guys and gals think? Will we get it as well seeing how our phone is kind of a sister phone to the One X? Will we already have a new Evo and Sprint won't continue to release updates for our handset? Or will we only get a hacked together version of it from the One X build thanks to our awesome developers.
Does this extend the life of our phone? Will it hold you until the next Evo?
Here's the source by the way:
[Update: Confirmed] HTC May Upgrade One X, One X+, One S, And Butterfly To Sense 5 UI
I was just about to post this, you beat me to it. I had all but assumed we wouldn't get it but now I'm holding out hope we will. I sure hope so!

Nevermind, just realized that it was updated.
Don't they have to continue support for so many months? I would say we probably will but it will happen around Christmas

I think if this is the case, then they're moving forward with their plan of Quality of Quantity.
Well, call me the pessimistic one, but I don't think so. I'm satisfied with a port, honestly.
If the camera is as good as they make it out to be then I will gladly come back. But initial comparisons to the Lumia show its still not that great.. Can't wait for some reviewers to get their hands on it.
Blink feed looks pretty neat and I like the new sense layout.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I bet they will release it after the one launch. Just like they did for the 3d and ics.

Hopefully we do get sense 5...i don't think it's worth the $600-700 to get the HTC one
Are there any Sense roms with Sense 5 yet?
It'll be a gimped version. That's a guarantee. Just like sense 3.6. I'll take it, though.
Meh. There are tons of apps that do the same thing as BlinkFeed but allow you to add your own sources. I do like the fact that Sense 5 makes use of Roboto though.

After reading a few reviews I am starting to become convinced that the EVO LTE is capable of doing many of the things/features that HTC is trying to sell us with the HTC One. The HTC One camera reviews out there have been horrific so far in regards to the hype HTC is trying to sell us on.
I am at the point now that if a Dev in due time can create the same theme and features that the one has then there is really no reason for me to upgrade and bail on my EVO LTE. I also heard the HTC One Screen is not as bright either.
I have absolutely no faith in the possible Sprint/HTC Sense 5 Update.
This further proves my theory that HTC pretty much tries to sell us on that "this is the best phone yada yada" that they will support with updates and innovation galore only to see them pull up the red carpet and good china silverware after a month or so of the release date moving on to the next phone to bait us with leaving us hanging for the promised updates and innovation that never materialize.
^^^ they have to support a phone for a least 18 months so you never know if we'll get the sense 5 update but it is very possible

That's as far as Android version goes. Not Sense UI is concerned. That's why the EVO 3D didn't get Sense 4 when it went to ICS like the 4G LTE had.

Didn't they get sense 3.6? No older phone before the evo lte got sense 4 because of the image chip

I'm guessing so, the evo design got Sense 3.6.
But now that 3.16 kernel source is out I'm willing to bet we get an update to sense 5.

I'm actually guessing that we'll get Sense 4+ (no changes) and Android 4.1.2

Right, but they could've developed Sense 4 for the EVO 3D, and left out the image chip features. If we get Sense 5, it'll be a more watered down version like that. They want to sell these new phones for those features as well.

Sense 3.6 is sense 4 but without the image sense chip software in it. Its not water downed but it just isn't capable it run that software. True we might get a water down sense 5 but not many features will be missing
