Just came across this article, figured I'd share it with you all. Seems reassuring.

It seems pretty legit to me. But I've been wrong in judgement before. The fact that we only get 4.2 is odd. Not sure the big differences between 4.2 and 4.2.2

I hope it's true. Thx for the info.

no problem

Trusted HTC leaker/developed LlabTooFer said that the Jewel was going to get 4.2.2 and Sense 5 a few months back.
The only phone in the HTC One X generation not getting Sense 5, 4.2.2 was the HTC One S, which was already confirmed by HTC.

I did see that this week somewhere.

If that happens, it would make it sooo much easier to port because I wouldn't need to resize anything...

I was hoping it would make it easier to port 4.2.2 but I thought the kernel would still be some kind of issue.
Hopefully this brings Sense development back to life for the Evo LTE. I'm not impressed with the One tbh, and never liked Touchwiz. Sprint also still doesn't have 4G of any kind in my area. Verizon might be my next jump.

I guess the more we are hearing about it, the closer we are ! *crosses fingers

To port AOSP? The only thing that would change is that they would update the blobs. And that's about it.

No I meant sense 5 4.2.2. Not sure why they are keeping us at 4.2. Aosp is great, but it lacks a few simple features I use often. Plus the sense keyboard is so much better than Google's

The promises flow, yet the actions are not fulfilled....

Well, that's encouraging, at least. I'm on the Sense 5 port right now and absolutely love it. I don't use BT so really the only thing that would be handy if it was fixed would be issue with the Instagram accessing my camera.

Basically all third party apps can't access the camera for some reason on this ROM.... (Vine, Snapchat, Instagram)
I forced myself to go back to MeanBean just for Fouth of July so I can video the fireworks. After I was done, I flashed Sense 5 right away lol.

The last time I tried the Sense 5 port, it was fun. But as you all are saying, I use my social media apps a lot, especially Instagram as I am a photographer. So I had to go back to Viper.
I played with AOSP and loved the multiple users feature. I could manage all of my social media accounts from my phone, but the fact that there's no animated .gif support in stock android killed me, as I use those a lot also. Hoping that this update answers both of my problems.

I posted a fix. Search my recent post history. If you try to use the Instagram video your camera will crash however the camera for pictures still works.

Is Anybody Planning on Making a Sense ROM?

Just curious. I might get this phone if there are plans for that.
Additionally, does this phone have the NFC in it?

Having come from a HTC device, which I ran as aosp, my comments are;
Sense widgets were easily replaced from the market. Many alternatives were superior to the sense equivalent.
You cannot have sense widgets without the sense kernel and framework
If it's touchwiz you dislike, just get a launcher from the market.
As a former AOSP developer, I have to recommend that you stay with sammy plus launcher for a while. Sammy roms are feature packed and you will lose loads by going to aosp. Don't jump ship until you know what you've got and whether or not you want it.

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...

No HTC phone has android 4.2 officially AFAIK.

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.

I use weather bug elite and and it works fine. Updates my location once and hour and also shows me forecasts as well. You can also get the chronus.apk for your 4.2 lockscreen and it will show you time and weather at your location right on the lockscreen.

a similar phone to the inc4g would really need to get sense5 to port it (and of course we need jellybean of our own first)
and since sense5 no longer uses m10 files (which is what is typically resized on roms now to fit different resolutions) not sure on the sizing issues
and theres no "building from scratch" its taking an existing rom and hacking it up to work on this device

Why do you keep saying this? Go to Settings > About and look at the version under Sense.

No, he's right. Sense 4+ is the actual version name above 4.1. We've only gotten 4.1 so far. NBD anyway, Cyanogenmod is much better than any Sense ROM.
I believe the misunderstanding is that Sense 4+ is a different version other than what we have but Sense 4.x is actually what we have. If I'm wrong please correct me.

mdmower sense goes from 2.1 to 5.0, respestive order is
2.1 2.5(2.1 on gingerbread) 3.0 3.5(GB) 4.0 4.1(ICS) 4+(jelly bean) 5.0(only HTC one for now) and I still think 4+ will eventually be rolled out but sense 5 will be a hard port since resizing is gonna be harder

Unfortunately, being on Verizon, we are S.O.L. I doubt we'll see 4+ or Sense 5. I doubt we will even see JellyBean before most of us are eligible for upgrades. So for those like me who aren't in to flashing customer ROMS, we probably will not see it.
well, sure it might take some time before a possible JB update from verizon arrives for us. but personally I'd be fine if that's just 4.1.2 (latest 4.1.x JB that brings us "project butter" ) ...and comes with Sense4+. Sense4.1 already slimmed down the visual effects quite a bit and from my piont of view, Sense5 is slimmed down too much, over-simplified and removes that neat lock-ring that HTC Sense is so much well known for *haha* ... i'd really hate to loose it!

Who here will dump sense when HTC one GE comes out?

So since we have s-off and we'll be able to use the ruu or just flash a zip (hopefully) who here will be dumping sense and going with aosp? I will probably jump back and forth. What about you guys?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Nah, I like and prefer the look of sense and the older weather flip clock. It'd be nice to get the updates straight from Google tho. I'm hopeful in the near future the UI from sense and others will just be a skin that we can apply to an official Google device.

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.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I just wish the firmware would leak. None of my friends who work at google have access to the android stuff.
The camera issues is what's keeping me from AOSP as it is, I'm ok with losing Zoe but if it can get close to Sense's camera quality, I'll bite.
I've never used zoe.

Yeah it's one of the biggest reasons I bought a One :good:
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.

Either way.. the devs will have us on 4.3 once source drops for sure.. Currently the Sense 5 roms our are 4.2.x I think and they are pretty damn solid .. Been using justin's release of joelz port for a long time now since released.. Not 1 issue for me!!

not at all. I'm frankly sick of not being able to launch things like Reddit URL's into a native app. Sense 5 = no more app associations menu = happy me.
The update would be nice, but I'm not really hoping for it because of lack of support for older devices. Seems to be a trend to get us to buy the more recent phones.

That "feature" was taken out of Sense 5 after Apple and HTC settled the lawsuit about intelligent application picking. The only reason they added it was to get around the ruling, and it was never present in the overseas versions of Sense 4.5
