Has anyone seen this ? http://gizmodo.com/5889560/htc-sense-ui-was-bloated-and-cluttered
I take this as a big, Big, BIG chance towards a fully functioning, and most importantly - SMOOTH Sense One V port for our precious Desire Z which we all love.
What do you think? Do you expect awesomistic difference in performance compared to Sense 3.5 or do you think the difference will be minor, if at all?
I for one am very optimistic regarding this!
Huh that's interesting, good post!
yeah, i saw this before coming here, was going to post the same thing, lol. I agree with OP, i think this should make for a very nice and smooth port!! Looking forward to it
So, we should have a smooth one s port right? Since its debloated and runs with hardware acceleration, it should be smoother then sense 3.5
I think probably anything could be smoother and more usable than Sense 3.* on our devices xD. Sure, the UI transitions and animations and scrolling might be smooth, but no matter which Sense ROM you choose, there will always be a great deficit in app performance in comparison to AOSP, CM or MIUI ROMs.
Either way though, i'm still hoping that we can get a smooth One V port *fingers crossed*
As HTC said, Sense 4.0 is more about „personalizing” the devices, not about removing everything AOSP and redrawing it Sense-style.
I love HTC's new simple market strategy. From hardware to software. It really does justice to their motto - „Quietly Brilliant”!

Sense 4.0 on DZ
I really doubt Sense 4.0 will run smoothly on our DZ. Even when i used many sense 3.5 roms on my DZ it starts lagging after some amount of time. Used SDcard swap, supercharger and all the tweaks but was never satisfied with the performance. But as per reviews HTC has really toned down Sense with ICS so lets hope for the best.
Well, I believe theoretically it is possible and I hope soon HTC will prove us again that it is possible even practically.
cant wait
What would be nice is if they would nix all remnants of that sense crap. It doesn't add anything, it was 100% pure pain in the ass. Death by fire is what sense deserves, and everyone who promoted it, worked on it, or was in any way involved in the decision making regarding it, should be included.

Don't be so harsh. I for one get why some of you love AOSP, but seriously, until ICS, AOSP sucked UI-wise. Although 4.0 solved many of the look problems, Sense still adds some cool functionality such as the configurable shortcut lockscreen, a cool music player, and the overall HTC feel that I personally love way more than AOSP or Miui or any other interface.
And believe me, I have tried practically each and every single ROM that I could get my hands onto, and I found myself going back to Sense, in any of it's incarnations ( 2.1, 3.0, 3.5) each and every time.
True, Sense 3.x feels bloated, but HTC said that they are basically going back to v2 with Sense 4.0, so I am looking forward to the new interface.

Seriously. With custom ROMs, you can get what you want, whether it be Sense, AOSP, or something else. And plenty of people like Sense. No need to get your panties all in a tangle, if you don't.
Hi all,
So I just upgraded from a GSIII to the GS4. I wasn't planning on it, but it happened. I didn't particularly want the S4, but now I have it. It's very slick, thin, screen is brilliant. Honestly, I didn't like the screen on the SIII, I preferred the screen of the E4GT even though it was smaller.
Anyways, I am rooted and flashed AOKP Milestone 2. It's very nice, seems stable. I was on CM10.1.2 nightlies on the GSIII.
I know they are both AOSP based, but I wonder how they compare otherwise? I read some reviews of some showstopper bugs with CM10.1 builds for this phone, so I went with AOKP.
Now, I know the S4 has IR, and I know that it is not supported on any AOSP ROMs. I didn't have it on the SIII so I likely won't miss it. What do you guys think.. is support coming? Is this something we'll eventually see in upstream AOSP? Or is this a Samsung only thing that we'll have to wait for someone to port over from TouchWiz?
Other than that, it seems to me I just now have a faster, bigger, thinner Galaxy.
I really like AOSP so hopefully the extra features will come along for the S4. I don't really like the look of TW ROMs altogether.
I hear the IR blaster is being worked on for AOSP and was even working on liquidsmooth. If you want any TW features you might want to keep an eye on the Google Edition ROM because it actually runs the tw framework and can have features added. Here is the GE ROM

Interesting. I'll definitely keep an eye on that one.
I am a flashaholic like many here.
That being said, not sure which I like better.
TW has the features such as MW and Spen, but CM12 is so nice and clean with some great custom theming and flexiblity.
TW batt life is better, but CM seems a bit snappier.
Hate TW lockscreen and love CM's.
What do you prefer and why?

Cm12 , too much delay on TW
I like stock Android but I'll never like CM (forever buggy), and I don't see any point of using CM on a Note device. So regardless of my hatred towards TW I will still prefer it anytime and any day over CM.
i dont know
Hi guys I was just wondering why would anyone use AOSP roms on note 4? doesn't it break the S Pen function? you wont be able to use all the note 4 features to the fullest or am I wrong?
AOSP roms are cool... but
Yes, i too keep hearing that AOSP ROM's break the S,Pen functionality. Plus, theres many many bugs too, tho most are small, and just annoying. For me, the Note4 is a special beast thats differet from a Nexus 6. The Note4 is a true 'phablet'. The other's is just an over-sized phone. So my point is why get the AOSP Rom & lose the things that make the Note4 stand out from the rest and change it to just an oversided phone like the Nexus6. I say wait til the bugs are fixed before flashing a new Rom. Or get Xposed Framework and change things to ur hearts content
I love the look and simplicity and speed of CM AICP and so on. Actually I dont like TW.
So, does anyone know wether there is the chance that the devs will ever be able to implement the functionality of the finger scanner or s health sensor in the future? Without the N4 is just a faster N1 without fm
it would be great if a dev. pulls out the latest touchwiz based rom for our devices lolli will work as well!!!
I'm sorry.. What??? [emoji15]
I think you should be banned!
Just kidding but i don't understand, stock aosp is far better than touchwiz.
I have a nexus 4 and a SGS5 and i only like the S5 because it has a bigger screen and a better camera. If you look at the whole picture i would prefer the N4 over the S5 everyday.. CM makes my S5 worth using but touchwiz makes me hate it!
I can imagine that people that always had Samsung can't live without but not me, I've had many different brands and the N4 is by far the best I've ever had.
