HTC Sense 4.0 General Discussion - Desire HD General

So it is, the new Sense UI 4.0 has apparently been leaked to a select few, right before the HTC Ville release next month I guess, and for all you Sense fans, here's where you can let your imagination run wild.
Basically, just write what you think the 4.0 will bring to our phones, will it be an improvement or not and in what way.
(Sense 4A is a light version of sense, no 3D effects and plenty of other small things missing from the full Sense.)
Before you get your hopes up too high, read this first:

Here are the reviews of the Sense 4 devices:

Enjoy!

I particularly like the the 'guest mode' feature!

I suppose this 'guest mode' is what in MIUI exists already? Would be nice to have it in Sense too ;-)

Sounds good
Sense is finally taking a step to offer better integration. Looking forward to it!

Just waiting for a glimpse of it

4.0 has already been leaked to a select few for testing purposes. I-m sure it will come around any day now. :d

Yeah I guess that is one of the major implementations compared to previous versions. Remember, that's just a quick look at it and once released it's bound to have a ton of new functions. I personally like the dropbox integration and the new email client.

Really? Didn't know that
With guest mode you can really show off your phone like a "barista"

Wtf is guest mode?

It's like setting up Guest account on your computer. Basically you use that when you want to show your phone to others and don't want em to see your private files etc.

A better name for it is "girlfriend mode" or "wife mode"

I am amazed mostly by the, from the sound of it, AWESOME dropbox integration with a whopping free 50GB of space.
That's like a second massive usb drive!

HI
i got all the new features all summed up, just follow the link in my signature!
have a great day

Would be great if vertical scrolling in app drawer is included as well... having 200+ apps and having to scroll page by page is really troublesome

See i differ there i like the ics scroll,plus you fit more on
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

I actually like ICS scroll system. The vertical one seemed too cluttered to me, idk why.
We might get a bit more info this upcoming week so stick around folks.

the 50GB from dropbox will be granted to anyone logging into his account on a device with sense 4?(like the DHD with sense 4 when there will be a normal ROM with it)

I'm not sure how that will go with custom ROMs of Sense 4, but I'm pretty sure devs will make it possible so yeah, highly likely that everyone will have access to it.

Landscape sense

Since the htc shift came out has anybody been able to get the sense to work in portrait mode... Is anybody even trying? I love to leave my phone on the desk with the kickstand open

You could use a different launcher.
But what if we like sense and the widgets? I would like to see this too. Virus got it working on his desire z port. I don't see why this isn't possible.

You sort of answered your own question. He ported a different version of sense that has that feature over to the Evo. That's how it's possible. Use a ROM that has it ported. I think several others are working on Z ROMs. Myn's got one in beta from what I hear.
Or if you're patient, I think we generally expect that version of Sense to make it's way to the Evo in an official release. Nothing's set in stone, of course.

Htcs facebook page is counting down to something??

Very stupid. Definitely not a phone that anyone at XDA wants but maybe some tweens will take a liking to it.
What will htc do next? A touch screen jitterbug with brew sense.

Like I said, not for the XDA audience.
I'm sure someone will try rooting it, so it'll find a home on XDA eventually. Probably new devs rather than established devs. Maybe a dev with tween kids.
What I'm curious about is how hard Sony Ericson is going to make it root the Play(station phone). I imagine they'll want to protect the hell out of their game market.

Till they update, bringing Facebook email
The chacha would be nice... if you gouged the "F" off of the "motherF-er" button and remapped it to do something that makes sense.
Its a form factor that really makes a lot of sense and is sorely lacked by android phones.
fugly as hell

Not too sure the of release date, I've looked around but can't seem to find much. Its exciting to at least see it on our devices from the video!
Looks very nice! But it probably will drain a lot of battery :s
I won't get it if it costs
I used it on WinMo before and it's nice, but it sounds like they're now selling OEM version to phone manufacturer only....

Btw, I'm curious how heavy this constant GPU usage will be on the battery...
U can sign up for beta-testing on their hp.
no cost, full experience (as the beta is near the final version as I heared)

This isn't to bad. There are alternative enough available.
do you you know a widget that integrates facebook pics and status into contacts and display them like HTC contacts widget? if you know one then at least this would be a big plus for me
oh and a widget like FriendStream too

you can also try a miui build. very fast and eye candy.
DoctorGore said:
I can definitely recommend CM7 HyperDroid if you want something dark, minimal and fast. It's also very stable and only needs a 150mb CWM partition.
I second UltimateDroid, it has awesome customization options.
I'm not a fan of sense, but I'd definitely give it a go. HD2 has 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0!
And you could even try MIUI ROMs aswell, they have some really interesting features. And they only need a small (120mb I think) CWM partition which is always good.

You are right,I apologize.It's just that I think Sense is superior to TouchWiz and I was a little angry at the moment.
Sorry!
Well,it should be possible but don't hope for it too much.Not many devs want to put much time in it.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
At least you owned up to your mistake, unlike many other people...and you could always try influencing a dev to build one! Although I am also not a fan of touchwiz it would be pretty cool to show off.
