So I updated my One to the leaked builds and all I can say is wow. I saw The Verge review about the One Max and they downplayed the updates in 5.5 but I am amazed by the refinements. Here are some of the top ones
The already stellar Gallery got better. Sliding tabs, easy editing of Video Highlights, folders are beautifully designed, no more switching between events view and album view.

The new 360 Camera walks circles around photosphere. I took a quick shot in my hallway and it was perfect. The camera sound is also more refined.
Full lock screen widget support (that recognize its not the primary screen so they are automatically expanded.. YAY)
Blink feed has been updated in numerous ways, I particularly enjoy the screen while it is personalizing.. I will update a pic from my One in a bit. G+ integration throughout, GDrive backup support (instead of just Dropbox)
Edit: you can also add your preferred Read it Later application to add from blinkfeed... Beautifully done HTC.
Editable quick settings with interchangeable tabs and buttons
Refined weather app & new scribble app.
Those are just some of the features I noticed. Maybe Google should invest in HTC purely for the screens they have and the software enhancements. Vanilla Android would be so much more easy to swallow if they included a gallery and enhancements like HTC did.. oh yeah, one more thing...... its smoother then butter, throughout the OS

And also may I add:
-Native option for 5x6 grid in the App drawer
-Memory optimizations (more free ram)
-Better auto focus in low light (the led lights before focusing)
-Better keyboard with improved autocomplete and a s**tload of new emoticons
-Refined Music app
-New widgets (try out the big music widget - awesome)
*At some point I was informed though Blinkfeed that I am eligible for an extra 40 gigs in Gdrive, but I couldnt make it work
And possibly many more hidden (the more I fiddle with it the more I find)
The only thing I miss are the different lock screen styles.
Ps. You should really really try the scribble app. Tons of options and fun, especially with a stylus
Another great option... The ability to Hide apps in the app drawer on stock Sense

yes im very impressed with sense 5.5
The TV app has been improved greatly. You don't have to go in to the menu anymore for the power toggles. They are accessed by swiping across the screen. Also the layout on the ch/vol screen is a lot better. The overall feel of the software is better too as there is also more memory available If it performs like this on the Max the 600 processor is more than adequate. HTC has really optimized sense to the processor really well. Since owning the device I have seen hardly if any lag.

Not a new feature (had it with base 3.22 Sense 5 as well), but still awesome.
Yeah I'm loving Sense 5.5 as well. I honestly hate BlinkFeed and I love that I can turn it off without a third party app now. Too bad it didn't fix the camera.

Also, shortcuts get auto-arranged from the top left corner... thus, you can't have a line of four shortcuts to your apps in the bottom of the screen for example - you have to fill it up to reach those spaces.

I do agree on giving credit where credit is due these developers put in alot of time on this stuff but they should really put out a free version for people to try, Launcher pro, ADW, Open Home and Regina all have free versions. I'm not dishing out 15 bucks for something I havent tried besides they need to work on battery drain in my opinion but overall SPD is an alright launcher just alot of "bling" I don't really need.

I have a Nexus 7 thinking about a Nexus 4. Do you loose about .3" of display diagonal because of lower 3 key area like you do on the N7? So the 4.7" display is really only 4.4" usable? I also thinking about a Note II, you get a full 5.5".
The Nexus 4 is fine. The screen is rather large. It's quite the same size as the GS3.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I think most of us ditch the navbar at the earliest opportunity and claim the full 4.7" back.
Then use 'pie' controls of some sort or 'button saviour', where you slide you finger/thumb from your chosen area of screen to bring up navigation controls... even though i explained it badly it works well.
I just placed an order for the nexus 4 and I kinda had the same concern. I get what you mean by sliding from the edge of the screen to bring up nav menu. Could you please provide some links to help me look into it more?

I used GMD Gesture Control to remove the soft keys and notification bar at top. This app also lets you assign an easy gesture or screen swipe to replace the back and home keys. It's awesome https://play.google.com/store/apps/...nb29kbW9vZGRyb2lkLmdlc3R1cmVjb250cm9sZGVtbyJd
I also use Nova Launcher Prime and the Tesla Unread add-on that tells me when I've missed a call or text on screen. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDMsImNvbS50ZXNsYWNvaWxzdy5ub3RpZmllciJd
Lastly, I use Battery widget reborn Beta to check on my battery life at a glance. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m5ldC5odWJhbGVrLmFuZHJvaWQucmVib3JuLmJldGEiXQ..
With all of this stuff I linked, you can free up your screen real estate and never miss a step.

its a weird trend. i mean who cares really. youre loosing a couple of pixels so what. android is programmed to take them away anyway when needed, the bar will change position, make way or disappear completely when needed. its flexible. whats more important, its made for fast mavigation, it feels natural the way it is and google had that in mind for sure.
i've always felt that navigation on hardware crippled phones feels awkward, its like out of place. buttons are not placed where you can reach them, they're hidden away to make way for a monstrous display and that will diminish your experience. software buttons give you both, large screen when needed and fast, integrated navigation that is part of the whole.
ps.
as for your n7, theres so many options. gesture based, pie, or androids native UI's. i run my n7 in phone UI for instance which does wonders. the bar will nicely cling to the side in landscape orientation. if you use tabUI the space that you loose is minimal, the same actually as with a hardwarebutton device - one unified bar. its available for phones as well and works just as well
Moles is right. As cool as pie controls are, I prefer googles on screen implementation for general usage because its fast, responsive and convenient.
However it is nice to have the full 4.7 inches while using certain apps like games, readers, gallery etc. Flash a ROM that supports expandable desktop like PA and you can customize the screen real estate per app, to your liking.

It's either a 1.9Ghz snapdragon 600 or a 1.6 Ghz exynos 5 octa depending on the region ( it is confirmed). The Galaxy S IV is definitely not worth "upgrading" if you're coming from a note 2. But if you're like me phoneless then it is a great choice!
The S4 is a 'nice' upgrade from the S3, mostly on the software side. Hardware is a modest upgrade. But I would not consider upgrading from my N2 to a S4. N3...we shall see...
Think the LCD touch got great improvement with air touch and even with gloves.Nice for winter
Are any of those features come ti note 2? Camera is better but cpu update is pointless for me now. I really don't game that much and note 2 feels super smooth. Half of those apps could and should come to note 2. Any infos?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
What I like:
- Their presentation (Finally something different, not just a guy standing on the stage blabbing about new features. Also stream was good quality and stable)
- New CPU (Although difference would really be only in games - S3/N2 is already incredible smooth. Also I'm not sure about battery usage of the chip. Must be incredibly high with all cores online)
- Air touch (mostly for interacting with mouseover elements on web pages like drop down menus, don't care much about gestures. Still I can pull out S pen on N2 if I find that page, which are thankfully rare nowadays)
- Glove thingy (does it work with thick ski gloves or just thin ones?)
- Smart pause (although it most likely does not work with 3rd party players which makes it useless for me. Maybe xda will step in? (somehow link it to simulating physical pause button))
- Temperature sensor (barometer on N2 is not really useful, at least there are no useful apps for it except for just displaying sensor data. But temperature could be somewhat useful)
What I don't care about:
- Most of the software improvements (mostly gimmicks - things nice to have and show around, but not really that useful.).
What I don't like:
- Pentile screen
So unless you have spare 600 dollars laying around, I don't think its really worth upgrading from either S3 or N2. We have reached point (or we are very near reaching it) where interface on phones is completely smooth and lags are mostly caused by badly written apps or apps waiting for resources (NAND, Internet etc.), so speeding up CPU will not do much, except for games. And things that could make use of that power (voice recognition etc.) are being moved to the cloud.

Pentile again??? pfffff.......... can't wait to se a macro shot of the secreen next to a 5" 1080 non-pentile from the "competitors" . I'm really curious to see if it would suffer from the lower percieved resulution "issue" on such high PPI count. Personnaly i don't find either the s3 or the non pentile N2 to have a sharp screen... hopefully the N3 will come out full hd with RGB.
P.S not a fan of the octa... those 4 low powered cores running the UI might and most surely will cause small stutters, i've already seen some hick-ups on a "hands on" video from the conference, but those phones weren't running the final release software soo... fingers crossed..looks like the days IOS is crushed in smoothness are still to come.....
I´m sorry if this has been posted before - but I can´t stand the fact, that Samsung shows such a massive effort for software optimizations and special functions, which CLEARLY are pushing the Note III to the top of every smartphone list - while, at the same time, STILL messing around with the restricted grid system in TW.
How can ANYBODY (that keeps an eye on the smartphone market and on the success of alternative launchers) think that a 4x4 grid (- on such a big device with such a great resolution -) is a good idea, looks good, feels good, makes sense or simply is a good choice??
I hate the restriction in general - it shouldn´t be that a problem to simply integrate a "free choice" function into the almighty TW. But hey, you Samsung guys...a 4x4? really?? I even used a 6x7 grid on my S3.
Sorry, perhaps it´s just my mood...

no, you are right. They have had this problem from the first note. Someone in their R&D department isn't doing their job properly or someone higher up is screwing with us. With samsung's resources, it really shouldn't be that hard to let us customize the launcher through some secret menu or something.
If you're talking about the launcher then simply install Apex or Nova. That's the first thing I do with a new phone. I can't remember the last time I saw a native TouchWiz launcher.

I always replace the launchers. Just for the gestures alone. Swiping up or down or even more complex gestures for actions etc.

4x4 works for me on my Note 2 ... you can put multiple apps into a folder. I don't see why Samsung can't offer a denser layout for those that need or want it.
Do you lose any Touchwiz functionality by installing a different launcher from the Play Store?

Here is my 8x9 grid on the 4 inch Galaxy S. This translates to an 11x13 grid on the note 3's 5.7 inch.
I really like this icon size. It's perfect for the size of the fingertip.

Apex. Its maximum is 10x10.
Nova can do 16x16 through some secret taps.
I'm hoping Apex gets its maximum increased by the time I get my note 3, as I like it better than nova.

Normally no. However this version swiping up launches the magazine app.
But like I said most custom launchers have a custom swiping feature. So you can make a swipe up down double tap etc do almost anything you want . apex and nova are the most popular.

Wow man. Posting that takes guts. Kudos!
many of us have had enough, let's face it the old school kitkat style of Huawei's multitasking/recent apps is a joke and destroy the whole workflow and multitasking of the device
My Plan is to collect as many names as possible and I will send it to Huawei.
What makes me angry is that even Huawei 8 seem to have the same multitasking look.
So I will make the same thread in the Mate 8 forum aswell.
Vote in the poll and write in the thread what you voted.

I disagree, I like the way Huawei presents it, although I do find it a bit buggy at times
Marshmallow multitask

Yes I agree. Well the sad part is there is no easy way to get rid of this EMUI multitasking, a different launcher will not help, if you go thru great pain to root the device and modify the software a lot you can get rid of it, but it is not easy. If it was possible to change with laucnher it wold be no problem, unless you root no matter what you do if you push the multitask/recent apps button it will lead to the EMUI recent app pages, which is usless, the main reason for that it lacks of "overview, only "4 taps" are visible, while with android vanilla way you can over 20 tabs or more visible in just an overview, which is very superior, also it goes a lot faster to swipe thru all tabs, while in the EMUI you have to swipe thru packages, this is typical "chinese brainless" software design. That it looks almost the same for the Mate 8 does make me very angry, this is a dealkiller for me, multi tasking is important, I used the LG G3 for 3 months during my Mate 7 was on repair I did really like the standard recent app tabs, it is so superior so much faster and flexible, I have no idea why the chinese do not see this, there is no benifit at all with EMUI's recent apps functionality, it is also to slow and responsive to be useful. it should be fast and snappy as it was on ,y LG G3. Shame on you Huawei...I hope you are reading this.

For multi tasking I have now found a life chahing app..
Really recommend this one!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.echoff.easyswitch&hl=sv
the only downside with it is that the logo looks almost like skype.
Symtoms of using this app is that you very rarely use the home buttton even though I use nova launcher
there is not need to go back to home screen, just one swipe the left and you will get all your app icons ONTOP the screen you are on..
Also super fast to switch between the last used app and the app you are using. both apps are loaded in memory so the translation is seamless.
Mm multitasking image.
