[Q] Broken between the Sense Edition and the Google Edition - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I had my heart set on the One with Sense since it was announced and heard nothing but good reviews about it, but then the Google Edition was recently announced, it's basically a Super-Nexus. I currently have a Nexus 7 and a Droid X2 running CM10, so I'm familiar with Jellybean and like it very much!
So when I heard about the Nexus edition of the One, I was amazed. But then, I remembered since it's running stock Jellybean, it won't have the HTC only features like Zoe among others.
I'm open to the idea of changing the ROMs to get stock android if I bought the One with Sense on it...wait, is there a ROM that you can install to change to Sense 5 if I bought the Google edition!? That would be perfect if there was because I could try Sense if I wanted, but have Stock as my default and get all of Google's updates immediately!
I basically have to choose between:
HTC's Sense with all the Sense features and change the ROM to get to stock android. Slow to no OTA updates from Google.
Stock android with constant updates from Google as soon as they come out AND the stock experience. (Can still change the ROM)
I known this is a forum for the Sense HTC One, but what do you guys think? If you had this choice what would you do?

I just bought my HTC One a week ago, already having in mind that a Google Edition will be coming out, but as I don't live in the USA and given that it's going to be exclusive for the time being that wasn't such a big deal to me.
But I'm actually quite convinced that you are going to be able to switch from Sense to AOSP and vice versa, because they're the exact same hardware. Remember that tweak for the Optimus G that allowed you to basically turn it into a Nexus 4 from a software stand point? I'm sure there will be something similar to that and even if it's not supported officially, developers are going to find one way or another
I could even imagine something like an RUU to turn a regular One into a Google Edition. Well the 26th isn't that far away now, we'll see...

yes u will be able to switch roms

So there is ROM that will allow me to switch to Sense 5 if I buy a Google Edition HTC One?

There are several stock like roms with sense 5 in the android development section.
Read through and see which one suits you best.

Get the sense one. We already can change the phones identity so making it a Google edition shouldn't be any different

The HTC camera is enough of a reason for me not to care about

Just get either one, it doesn't matter much, to be honest. The Google Edition one has an unlocked bootloader and is probably S-OFF, and you can do both on the Sense edition as well. You can install any ROM you want on either one with no problems, whether sense-based or AOSP.

If u want a super nexus than this isn't the phone for you. Its not a nexus and never will be. I would go with the sense to get the great features. If you want stock it's better to get a nexus. (Just my opinion)

Define issues, and honestly, since a global rollout has yet to occur, I doubt that upgrades >4.0.3 are going to occur. Maybe the regions that have yet to get ICS may get 4.0.4 or later, if those regions ever release an update.
Honestly, you're probably going to have to wait for CM to give you that.
question????
@ Aus_AZN
Why do you think or what have you heard that indicates no Sense 4 for Vivid?
I'm new to the HTC line and reacquainting myself with Android phones. I had a Moto Droid X a few years ago until it was stolen. I was loving it compared to my old VeriZon semi-smart phone. But then it was liberated.
I also lost everything after the loss of a family member. So I really haven't had a quality phone for the last 2 years until I upgraded to the Vivid. I didn't do much research, I just knew it would be upgradeable to ICS. I only upgraded to it because I was able to get it for $49.99 as an upgrade from a Fry's electronics near me. So far it ROCKS!!!!
Also where is a good or great source to learn more about Sense and what it adds to the phone? I have seen very little here or on the HTC site or AT&T either.

Well, the Vivid is definitely upgradeable to ICS, just not Sense 4 ICS. The way Sense 3.6 looks is very similar to the way it looks on GB; you just get the ICS bonuses when you update it.
I for one hope we see sense 4.0 at some point. It's not out of the question. Hopefully after the one line gains some steam they'll update it.

Many bugs on this update like losing reception when entering a train station then having to manually turn it back on when back outside or rebooting. Lost of audio on games which needs a reboot and the constant upgrading android on reboots. I believe we will get an upgrade to work out the kinks. But doubt a sense update but who knows we got beats audio and sense 3.6. HTC is cool like that

I've had sprint and t-mobile att is by far better in pricing. They even waved my activation fees and sold me a top of the line phone for 1 cent. While sprint and t-mobile man enough said. Never had verizon but after walking in and looking at the prices I walked out and never went back that was 5 years ago. What its been 5-6 months, fastest update to the latest and greatest ever not to mention we were the first to receive ICS if I'm correct. I think people are upset about the whole no unlimited data thing. But for what I use my phone for its ok haven't even hit a gig yet. Also lowest cancel fee as well. Haven't really needed support yet so don't know about that but S&T forget it.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
All I meant by that is that ATT has been notorious for only providing 1 major update per device (minor security/software patches aside). We got ICS and Sense 3.6 as the update, I don't see, from history, ATT giving us another big update like Sense 4.0
What pisses me off about all the cell phone companies is that they waste technology with greed. This phone among others have 2 CPUs and a monster gpu yet the current software does not utilize it very well at all. Now quads its truly a waste of hardware. When phones like the Samsung epic still does very well. ICS uses more resources and the following android update will use even more, making capable phones unable to be upgraded do to lack of resources. Now as far as sense 4 goes our phones have enough resource to handle the upgrade to not give it is a waste and a greed move. Also I hate reading a phone has 1gb ram but 300 available, its starting to be a joke. Laptops another mobile device that can receive the latest and greatest as long as the hardware is supported, they should just offer upgrades for a price which would guarantee upgrades as long as the hardware meets the requirements and offer them from the play store. And fixes should stay free.

Really overall the update has been pretty good to me. Some minor quirks here and there but everything works and it seems stable. Sense 3.6 works well just the look of it all gets to me. Coming from a Samsung, touchwiz definitley adds its own look but keeps enough elements that you still know what version of android your running. The way it sounds is htc rebuilt sense from the ground up to look good on the one series but just did some minor tweaking on the updated phones. I still question the call imo. And I don't get why htc feel the need to remove overscroll glow and Crt animations on their roms, very cool effects that SHOULD be enabled! And why is the app drawer so.... Gingerbread looking? And where are the widget previews and why aren't they located in the apartment drawer?

From this article it sounds like 4.0 is more of the same anyway but it's spot on about what bugs me about sense ics
Thanks for the link Cor-Master!!
I may want to back off of Sense and see what ICS really looks like. Who knew HTC was bastardizing ICS so much. Im new to the Vivid so I had no idea what Sense really was. Now I know more and knowing is half the battle!
Yeah and like the author I'm not against custom UIs. In away its what android was all about and it allows manufacturers some freedom in putting their own stamp on Android. But in the case of sense its just too much. A good example is my captivate and it's official gingerbread update. Samsung put their own stamp on I with touchwiz but it still looked and felt like gingerbread. All and all I'd say touchwiz was 80% android. And the launcher wasn't as heavily weaven into the ui as sense so as for me I spent a majority of my time with it on adw ex. But sense is probably 30% stock Android if that. They really went out of there way to make sure android didn't look or feel like android anymore.
I like sense for the most part and the issue is fixable if htc just does a few minor things: #1 kill all the textured menus and use the stock holo theme for everything. #2. Enable all ics animations #3. Keep the notification bar stock. And last but not least #4. Use the stock app drawer. They could keep everything else the same and sense overall would world's better!

I like Sense. 3.6 is a huge step closer to an AOSP feel than 3.0 or 3.5 was. 4.0 looks even closer. Any way I look at it though, I like what HTC did with Sense. I think it enhances the look of the OS, without compromising resources too badly. It's definitely my favorite Android overlay (over touchwiz, motoblur, etc)...and it's one of the many reasons I bought the Vivid, because I like Sense. If I didn't like Sense, I probably wouldn't have bought HTC. Especially one who's development is a little slower than others.
i guess we just have to wait and see what happens maybe att will release an update for it i dont know

[Q] Stock Android on the HTC One?

Hi, I just crossed back to Android and am excited to be back but am a little peeved with HTC's Sense overlay. I had the Nexus S a couple of years back (and loved it!) before using iOS and now I just upgraded to the One hoping to have the same experience with my Nexus.
My question is...and I'm hoping its in the right forum...is it possible to root the HTC One and have stock vanilla Android on it? Honestly, I kind of feel that HTC Sense ruins a really a beautifully made phone. It does add a lot of unnecessary functions and tries to link everything and everyone which makes it absolutely confusing.
Also...how obnoxious is that bootup with the Sprint splash screen? Ugh. Brings the premium down a couple of notches.
You can root the one easily using HTC's unlock method. I believe there's a toolkit in the development section. No vanilla android just yet. Although sense isn't really as bad as what it used to be. (But again, I primarily use my phone for social networking.)
Sent from My Only "One"
The cm team had a build but it's very Alpha, that's is the only A.O.S.P. Rom at the moment. Once that's all peachy I'm sure you will see others pop up.
As far as the boot up sound, after you root, most of the available rooms have disable it.

When my One is on vibrate I never here the boot up sound.
Also, could the 4.2.2 keyboard be ported over? I've already been replacing HTC apps with stock apps (gallery, clock, etc).

So far they've got most things working except for the camera, IR blaster, Bluetooh and using headphones while you're in a call. Give it a couple of weeks though and we'll have a very stable version available. I'm not a fan of sense at all, so I'm excited to flash over to CM 10.1.

Download some different launchers from the Play store and try them out. You don't even need to root a device to change launchers. Simply download, install and open.

I'd be curious to see if there is some portion of the hardware that works only with the Sense framework.
It would be awesome if a custom ROM can push the camera beyond the stock experience. Does the HTC 'ImageChip' work with custom ROMs like CM?

Pretty sure by the time the google version comes out you can flash to your heart's content. Right now there are some good options and AOSP based roms are getting better by the day. :good:
Personal preference I reckon. The Google edition will be up to date and less bloated, but sense feels more complete in my opinion, and they've done a great job with Sense 5!

I wanted to post the exact same thread, saves me work now :good: I'm looking to upgrade quite soon, from my Gnex and before I was all about the N4, but the One looks so much better! Hard to resist. Honestly Sense 5.0 looks really good and promising and normally I absolutely loathe bloatware/oem skins. Check this tweet out from Richard Lai:

Makes it even harder to choose. I prefer to run stock roms, without all the rooting/tweaking etc. What to do, first world problems.

Sense 5 is nice and easy to use Google versiyonu için çok da beklemenin bir anlamı yok. Nasıl olsa aradaki fark HTC tarafından kapatılıyor.
I like aosp much more. The problem is that Google's One will be available only in US and Im from EU. I hope it will be possible to flash aosp on regular One.
They are the same phone and HTC themselves said they won't be making one. Yes football said they will but this isn't the first time he has been wrong. So buy a regular HTC one and throw CM on it and be happy

First of all, there still has not been ANY official confirmation that there will (ever) be an HTC One "Google Edition". Yes, there are rumours and many websites seem to be pretty convinced about it coming soon. But till there is something official, don't just assume there actually will be an HTC One G.E...
Sense 5 or AOSP is a question for me too. I have been using my HTC One for over a month now, only using Stock or custom Sense 5 ROMs. I am really enjoying it and I just can't make myself go AOSP. I have tried PAC ROM (CM/AOKP/PA mix) for 10 minutes on my One.. then went back. First of all, these things (which will probably be the same on the "Google Edition" of the One)
- Speakers: They are loud, but don't sound that good as on Sense 5. The problem is there is no Beats Audio on AOSP and that really makes a difference on the HTC One and it's dual front speakers.
- Camera: You can take pictures. You can make videos. That's it. Forget all the stuff like Zoe, all the camera settings you get with the stock HTC camera, the HTC gallery, etc. Even the pictures themselve seem a bit less good, since you are missing HTC’s imaging software.
These 2 things are already enough to stop me from going AOSP. Well, almost then. I have always been a huge fan of AOSP based roms, so I could even let these 2 things go. But once you go back to AOSP, you realise Sense 5 is almost as good. Sense 5 is often just as fast, it looks much more modern and pretty and makes AOSP roms almost look boring. So at the moment, for me (an AOSP fan) there is no reason to leave Sense 5 on my HTC One. Either Android 4.3 will be awesome and a CM 10.2 will make me go AOSP, or they find ways to implement Beats Audio/Better camera on CM10.1 or something.
My advice: go for the normal HTC One. It's not even confirmed yet if there will ever be a Google Edition. And if there will be, I think chances are little of it including Beats Audio and the HTC Camera.

You can just flash/install beats drivers onto any Android phone. I did it with my Nexus 4 and my old Mytouch 3G Slide.
Haven't done it on the One though.
Camera on the other hand, no way of getting use of that image chip unless HTC releases sources for it.

I fully agree with you. And i have experienced the same while using CARBON ROM on HTC one and Stock Sense 5. These two things are a deal breaker for me as well. Sense Camera and BeatsAudio features and performance they make a HELL lot of difference.
Now coming to my question: Is there are AOSP or AOKP offering at least Sense stock Camera and BeatsAudio in them. That would be a BACON IMO.
thanks

I've tried both Sense and AOSP via ROMs. The main things where I much prefer one over the other are:
-Lockscreen - the AOSP 4.2 lock screen is really really good. If I'm on a Sense ROM I end up installing WidgetLocker but even that is nowhere near as good as what I get in AOSP.
-Contacts/dialer app, I much prefer the HTC interface over the AOSP default. Editing and merging contacts from different sources like Facebook and Skype is easier, and I just think the interface looks better
-Camera. While I don't like Sense's Gallery, the Zoe and Highlight Reel features can do some awesome things. AOSP has PhotoSphere though, which is also cool. Wish I could have both camera apps at once.

Check out this great review on the new Stock Android One and GS4. Can't wait to get some of this on our phones fully working.
Also, I noticed on htcdev.com that they released the 3.4.10 Kernel source for the One Special Edition running Android 4.2.

Oh man! I am so pumped for this. I have been running Rootbox AOSP, and it has it's slight quirks and random animations that are stuttery, so it's gonna be awesome messing around with a perfect version of AOSP pretty soon here. Someone needs to release the RUU already
This is going to be amazing. I can't wait to start tinkering
stuff like zoe and beats wouldn't be ported over amirite?
I sincerely hope that within a week's time, we'll see the first major steps taken in the direction of a solidified, fully-functional build for Sprint's HTC One. Granted, things like CM 10.1 have nightlies, but sadly; not an official stable release in-sight for us.
That being said, perhaps the system dumps provided by GPE owners will significantly help steering these ROMs in the right direction.
It would still be fantastic if Sprint (and I suppose HTC in-partial) would quickly prepare the 4.2.2 w/ Sense 5 update for us.

From what I have gathered, beats will be a function you can turn off and on. I don't imagine Zoe will be there because that is a big time sense thing. And I think beats audio will likely not have the beats logo when it is running.
Keep in mind this isn't meant to be a hybrid HTC/Google device. It is a Google device. I'm sure they will implement the better sound, and some more root code stuff, but not as much on the front end / UI
From the looks of any of this I wouldn't get your hopes up for this "helping" anything. AOSP builds are already available. Until Sprint and HTC update Sense to 4.2.2 we will still be in limbo.

One thing this could help is the kernel issues we are currently experiencing and hopefully the random bricking issue some people are experiencing when running AOSP roms.

Damn, was finally about to buy a One today, but this has me intrigued, since all I've used for years is AOSP ROMs. On that note, are people pretty satisfied with this device? I am a longtime HTC user. I plan on getting S-off ASAMFP. That was my hesitation coming from S-off Evo LTE, but I see moonshine is now available. :thumbup:

Scott, brother you will not be disappointed. Aosp is still a bit quirky for some but with the current source dropped I expect great things in the Aosp world.

more disappointments
google will not be updating these directly like they do with their nexus devices
they are still leaving it up to the OEMs
so if you expect the nexus treatment, youre in for a huge disappointment

They just posted a system dump over on the HTC One general forums. Ny'oh my god.

From the looks of any of this I wouldn't get your hopes up for this "helping" anything. AOSP builds are already available. Until Sprint and HTC update Sense to 4.2.2 we will still be in limbo.

My EVO 4G LTE just drowned the other day so I paid my ETF and bought the One from Radio Shack, it's going to be delivered tomorrow. I was wondering if the fact that HTC was releasing a One with stock android would significantly speed up development on AOSP roms for the Sprint version of the phone. I was also wondering if there will likely be proprietary code for the GPE of the phone that developers here wouldn't be able to use in their AOSP builds. I love stock Android and I've used CM on all my Android phones at one time or another but there always seems to be random nagging issues that eventually push me back to Sense. I guess my question is will the software for the GPE One really help solidify and speed up development of AOSP roms for Sprint's version of the phone.

I believe you will see the GPe ROM ported to the Sprint One, but I don't know if it'll affect development by CM/AOKP/PA etc. There is still a lot of proprietary software in the GPe. That is, stuff devs can't use.

Planning to buy HTC One - Some questions :D

Hi People,
Finally I have decided to move on from my beloved HTC Incredible S which has been my companion for more than 2 years now and I chose HTC One to be its successor (Yeah I am a HTC Fanboy so my obvious choice was HTC itself). But there are couple of questions that I would like to get answers to before I zero in on it.
1. If I get a HTC One Sense Version, is it easy to install the Google Edition ROM on it? because I love switching roms often and like Latest Updates on my phone just to experience it
2. How is the future of this handset? I am asking it because, my Incredible S had begun with GingerBread and now with awesome developers, I can install KitKat in it too Thats a whole long journey on it.. Just wanted to know if the hardware and processor is future proof because after spending wholesome money on it, I dont want it to get stuck at kitkat
I checked the forum and found that there are whole lot of ROMs available for HTC One and I am excited to go for it. So any guidance here would be wonderful
1. Wouldn't say it was easy. Just be sure to do your research. Read all the relevant topics and so everything exactly as detailed. Here's just one of the many threads you should read.

2. Apparently stock sense will be supported until next major release 4.5 or 5.
Custom ROMs will go well beyond that I'm sure. Don't know where official gpe support will end.

Oh the Google Edition will be supported max till 2 updates eh? Didnt know that..
Also, why I was asking because, even if official souce code was stopped by HTC.. Devs had developed kernels from scratch and kept the In credible S Alive.. I would love the same happening here..
Any devs who can give info
Didn't say that. Said sense will be supported to either 4.5 or 5. Whichever comes first. I.e. one more big release.
GPE anyone know? Will it follow the nexus 18 month support?

He he, I love to Just some questions as I always love rom modding
Does anyone know how long will GPE be supported by google? Is it same as current nexus??
BTW, There is an Indian Variant of HTC One.. One which has Dual Sim and seems like Single SIM HTC Ones have stopped for no reason :/
Will the custom Firmware of this Single Sim Ones work on that?? Or there is a separate forum for that?
