Which one is lighter: Sense 3.6 or Sense 4.0?

bogdan5844 · Mar 14, 2012

I don't really get the difference between Sense 3.6 and 4.0, only thing that I see is that Sense 3.6 is a 3.5 with a dock and toggles, and 4.0 being a major overhaul.

Both are running over ICS, of course.

But going by that train of taught, there would not be any performance difference between 3.5 and 3.6, as opposed to what HTC have said about 4.0.

So, does 3.6 have any links with 4.0, or is it just 3.5 with a pretty face?

Sense 3.6's intent was to update to ICS, yet to preserve the Sense 3.x layout users were accustomed to.

I had a look between Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.6 benchmarks and 3.6 was a bit faster, but that's about it. I'm not sure about memory consumption but it'd probably spend similar amounts.

To me, atleast, there's no point in using sense 3.6, as it seems like it's pretty much like sense 3.5 , just compiled for ICS. sense 4.0 is the way to go IMO

HTC themselves said Sense 4 would be lighter than previous generations simply because of the fact that Sense became heavier and heavier as time passed.

Good to see they finally reacted and fixed things.

Yes, I understood that Sense 4.0 is lighter than 3.0

But 3.6 blew me. I see it as a Sense 3.5 with a dock slapped to it.

But that's what it was intended to be?

I'd say its some pretty awesome software, that can do that! Where do I get me some Sense 3.6?

Virtuous has a Sense 3.6 build, for our phone. You can find it under the affinity thread.

Hah! Didn't see that coming!

crestofawave, isn't that build „coming soon” ?

I just realized what stupid of a tool I am, after reading my above reply. No worries, though. I'll keep it for the laughs.

That has been alpha build for a while now and there are sever other builds here. I haven't had much success with any of the ICS / Sense builds with H/W keyboard issues being the main failing. Can you recommend any ICS / Sense roms that don't have that issue?

crestofawave · Mar 22, 2012

It's been barely two weeks ever since the devs started working on those. Currently there's no rom that has this fixed, but it will be adressed soon.

There is no "Sense 4.0" -.- ... 4.0 is the Android version, while 3.6 is the HTC version

mputtr · Apr 15, 2012

there is a sense 4.0 that's the one that comes with the ICS version which is supposedly found in the HTC One series.

EDIT: here's a link of the HTC One X review. Scroll down to Software: http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/02/htc-one-x-review/

That is not the case. Sense 4.0 debuts in the One series, and will appear as well in the upcoming Golf.

And then there's sense 4.0 (full) and sense 4.0A (light), the last one being developed for less capable phones and thus lacking some eyecandy and stuff.

Being a jerk here: there's no "Sense 4.0", because it's actually called Sense 4.
