Difference between Sense 4.0 Lite and Full one?

Can somebody name some differences in HTC Sense 4.0a and HTC Sense 4.0Full .?)
animations, widgets and the lockscreen options are the only differences .?)
maybe some productivity.?
p.s. a link or a changelog .?)
thx.)

I believe the light one is sense 3.5

I don't think so, sense 4a is lite, it has less 3d animations, the apply transition animations aren't as cool and it doesn't have the tabs on the bottom on some sense apps
Not much difference, mostly in the animation and looks as opposed to functionality
But, sense 4 full has the cool 3d spinning world in the clock app but like I said, not much difference in terms of functionality besides the lockscreen and Widgets
I guess sense 4 full showcases the power that the one s and one x have compared to lesser powered phones like ours
For instance, the one v will probably have ram problems if it had full sense

lite is an HTC One V port, which is slightly tuned down from full sense 4 to save battery and power

In other words sense 4a isn't as nice looks abit like a knock

thanks 4 gettin' me some info about this.))
guess I'll try the lite one 4 more performance from my HIS.)

It's mostly just animations and look (cube-animations, recent apps-screen). But there are also things like the 3-finger-swipe-up for MediaLink and stuff like that. And of course the resolution of the devices.

can u tell something more about the gestures?
what does 3fingerSwype do?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda app-developers app

It's just one thing. If you're on homescreen and swipe up with 3 fingers you open HTC Media Link, which is an app to project your phone display on your TV. But it needs external hardware from HTC though, which costs about 80 bucks...

[Q] where is the mail widget?

Does HTC dump it in Sense 5? I can't see the task and note widget either. What happened?
Besides, it seems difficult to arrange the panels. I can't move the panel anymore.

Mail, Notes and Tasks are in my Apps menu, not sure why you can't find it, what panels are you referring to?

Yes, I mean the widgets not the app. Can you see the widgets on your side?
For the panel move, I mean I can't switch the position of two panels. say, I want to move the 3rd panel to the 2nd position. I could do it in sense 4 but can't do it now. Kind of weird.

Does touchdown supports activesync?
I really don't quite get why HTC would ditch them. This is really not a good change IMHO.

I agree. It's really stupid. Last time they ditched the Calendar widget so I ended up having to use the stock Android one. Now they've brought the Calendar widget back but it's useless.
They have now ditched the mail, tasks and notes widgets which aside from Calendar were my main widgets and they have got rid of the large (full screen) music widget.
There's no logic and no consistency. Sense is rapidly becoming a complete waste of time.

Along with system apps I don't want, I usually delete stock widgets as well. Why would you want that crap slowing your phone down? Just place a shortcut to the gallery on your home screen.

I believe you can get a usable htc notes widget on the d3rp rom.
I do miss the tasks widget. I like the htc app, but have to use a gtasks widget now.

lol um wut? my evo lte never even slowed with the abundant **** i had on it let alone this phone..so your comment just makes you look like a jackass shut up already everybody's different

IMO, I think they've taken a lot of the widgets that weren't as mainstream as they used to be off. This was all part of the design process to slim down Sense.

Which is beautiful. I love the striped down, minimalistic look. But... Photo widget.
Sent from my HTC One

I agree and that photo album widget or whatever it is on the lockscreen says you can browse photos but I have yet to accomplish that without unlocking to home page :crying: Kinda useless on the lockscreen in my humble opinion. I guess a developer could tweak it so it could be put on a main screen but then again I don' see any user options either. Uh...
There are a couple in the playstore that are kinda cool. I have been keeping my eye on this one and it looks promising as far as user options and tweaking. It looks like it recently got tweaked for 4.2.2 so it is up to date in that regard. I am going to check it out and see how it runs on 4.1.2.

Ah yes, Photo Grid widget. I used it on AOSP ROM's for a while. just wasn't quite the same though. haven't used it in a while though, maybe some updates did it some good, I'll try it again I guess.

I did try that photo grid and it is pretty cool. It did appear laggy a few times and it did force close a couple of times. Hopefully we can get our phone updated to 4.2.2 and then this will be a great option. Anyways we gave it a try....

No App-to-Home Transition

I find it strange that HTC seems to have removed any form of animation when in an app and hitting the home button while using the Sense launcher. It seems... Odd, I guess. I suppose it's quicker than watching an animation, but it almost reminds me of using Windows with animations turned off. I know other launchers (such as Nova) allow the user to change this, but I actually like Sense 5 (and was bugged by the way the lockscreen uses the Sense dock, and Nova doesn't change that).
Any thoughts on this?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2

HTC has always removed these animations. On all the versions of Sense. This is probably the mentality of the "professional" aspect of Sense. I know many people who disable animations on their phones because they fell that's ridiculous or "cheap" to have too animations like that...

Interesting. This is my first HTC phone as well. Given the history of Sense, I'm somewhat surprised HTC would do such a thing. Not that I'm complaining...

Yep. The better thing they could do would be to set up as our preferences... Like in Nova / Apex

Widgets on lockscreen?

Am I missing something here or does the 4.2.2 really not have widgets on the lockscreen?

Thanks to HTC, no. We have to wait for someone to make it so we can flash the stock 4.2.2 lockscreen. People in the ARHD thread got it to work by renaming or removing the HTC lockscreen apk but supposedly some could add widgets and some couldn't. That thread moves way to fast so I can't find any of the info for that now so have no idea how to get it to work or if it really does work.

I have renamed the lockscreen and now I have stock. But I can't add widgets to it. I saw some people on the arhd thread who can ....

It's ridiculous that HTC didn't add this option.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

for some reason if you dirty flash from a 4.1.2 ROM to a 4.2.2 one you get the ability to add lockscreen widgets to the stock lock screen (which you get by deleting HtcLockscreen.apk)
I suspect HTC removed whatever bits of system ui from 4.2.2 that supported them, and dirty flashing is the only way (so far) to get those bits.

Do they work on stock lockscreen?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

And I thought Samsung's implementation of Lockscreen widgets was dumb... at least they can do it. Bad HTC, that's a very bad HTC. I'm gonna get a rolled up newspaper.

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Mine works. I just flashed the 4.2.2 rom TWICE, then deleted HTCLockscreen.apk (or add a .bak to the end of it) and it worked. I went back to 4.1 right not so I don't have a screenshot, but it did work for me.

HTCs lockscreen system is bad enough already. You can't even have a different wallpaper than your home screen unless you are willing to lose out on the function of the other lockscreens. God forbid us being able to have a different wallpaper AND having notifications on our lockscreen. I really hope someone works on this. Because from what I can tell torxx and mike couldn't really care less widgets on the lockscreen. Torxx just told me to use something like widgetlocker but that thing causes lag sometimes and mike says he hates lockscreen widgets period.
