Latest rumour coming from the HTC camp is that there is finally a worthy update coming for the Sense UI.
Sense 4.1 is set to improve battery levels (from 3 hours screen time to 5), fix some minor glitches with the Wi-Fi connectivity and all-in-all make it a smoother experience.
There is also rumours that users are going to be able to remap the dedicated buttons along the bottom edge of the screen, allowing us to use the (not so) multi-tasking button as a menu button, much like most AOKP roms, thus disposing of the horrible black menu bar that appears in the majority of apps and games. In addition to numerous other dedicated buttons for both the browser and camera.
I will be eagerly awaiting this update over the coming weeks... Shame it's not Jelly Bean, but I guess that's not far off either :)
So I did it, I took the leap and rooted my HTC One X.
I'm sick of reading blogs about Jelly Bean coming soon, and how well it's performing on the Galaxy Nexus, I decided I had to try it for myself.
OK, so it's not the most stable, and there are still a couple of little faults here and there, but nothing I can't live with.
Plus, I know once HTC pull their finger out and finally release Jelly Bean with Sense, I can soon enough flash my HOX back to stock and get the update OTA.
Initial thoughts... Superb. Galaxy S3, eat your heart out!
The new Google Project Butter really make the quad core Tegra 3 chip work, but wow! It works well. Screen transitions are amazing, instant and as the name suggests. Buttery smooth.
The other feature I've been eagerly awaiting to get my hands on it Google Now. I still haven't managed to get my teeth into it just yet, all I have done is open the app, but as soon as I did, I was amazingly impressed that it displayed local delays across trains, and roads in my local area and asking if I wanted suggestions to alternatives. That's Impressive.
That's about it for now... Just wanted to share my initial experience with Jelly Bean. I'll create a full write-up on it over the coming days once I've managed to get my teeth in to it completely.
Massive thanks to TripNDroid for this update, head over to XDA if you want to try it for yourself.
