Lol. Heres the deal bud, all the previous versions of sense, all pretty much have had the same clocks, app drawers, icons. They just made them look better. This is not the case here. It looks like some cheap ass touchwiz/sammy, and sony ui mixed with motorola crap! Im not the only one who can see that its ugly. And i was just messin when i asked if u wanted a bet, but ya, sure, ill bet ya. Ill bet u that "my devs", including myself, will try our hardest to keep the sense 4+ look, and feel, even after this crap is released for future devices. Im not gonna argue over this, i have my opinion, u have yours. Lol. Im just stating that i really dislike the screenshots that are posted. If this is released to us, i wont buy a device until my DNA is no longer usable, because im a huge htc sense fan. But my mind might change. We will see where this goes.

Also, im not crying over this. Lol. Im just stating my opinion. And of course it will happen if i like it or not? No brainer there.
Lmfao!!!

So you are crying over the icons changing.

From 2.x to 3 and 3.x to 4 there have been major changes. The 1 thing that has stayed the same for the mist part are the icons. But now that they are changing the icons(finally) you are saying that you will continue to port a soon to be legacy version of sense onto newer devices. Have fun with that. If you are that crazy about the legacy icons than you can simply port the icons over to the newer versions.

No. Its not just the icons. The clock, the app drawer, the icons, the dock, a lot of it is ugly to me. And im telling u straight up, that im not the only one who feels this way. And i will have fun with it. Thanks. Isnt that what this "android developing" is supposed to b? Fun?

And like i said before. Im not crying. Just one guys opinions.

Ugly!

Not to rain on anyone's parade here, but Sense 5 is ugly as sin, and I will not buy an HTC phone that has Sense 5 on it unless I can root and put a Sense 4 ROM on it. HTC will ruin their reputation of having the most beautiful UI of all Android if they do in fact release anything close to what these pics indicate. I have been loyal to HTC for 3 consecutive upgrades, and I will go elsewhere if I have to settle for this.
I agree 199999999999999999999%! If that is sense 5, then my EVO LTE will be my last HTC phone. I love sense 4+ and going to a flat style with no more cool weather effects and icons, themes, etc and I'm gone. It's sad as I really love HTC. But even the home buttons being switched bothers me too. HTC should have kept their quality and old phones while pushing marketing and software updates faster. This sucks...

Relax man you haven't seen an official released yet. For all we know they still have them, this is the problem with leaks people get their panties in a bunch.

I didn't like the look of Sense 4 when the preview was out. It grew with me over time to the point it's the best sense i've ever used. After seeing the leaked pics of Sense 5 i really dislike the look. First the lockscreen, WTF why have the actual lock as a small button that is the same size and position as the apps button, what happens when I want to unlock it quickly without having to click the actual button? Least with the ring u just have to move your finger to the bottom of the screen and slide up.

Next, the new weather icons, Droid DNA weather icons are awesome and looks realistic, why dumb it down to the point it looks like a weather skin for Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widgets. They gone from the best looking to now the worst looking out of all the brands (even apple's looks 100x better). Also whats with weather on the app drawer, I want to open an app, not look at the weather. If I want to see the current weather I just press home, pointless and a complete waste of space.

Guess will wait for the official screenshots but if this is Sense 5, I will be moving to a different brand (most likely back to Samsung). Though I may just keep my HTC one and refuse to update to Sense 5.

In regards to the Lockscreen, who is to say you have to swipe over that lock icon. It may just be the indicator for the device being locked and you actually unlock it another way.

    I think HTC sales clearly show how Sense has been doing.....If you think it isn't considering a big change, talk to their financial officer and they'll state otherwise.
    Don't be surprised when they try and unify the UI across all their "current" devices. Why would they waste resources maintaining multiple versions at once? They already have a hard enough time with that, lol.

    Why does everyone bring sense down so much? Its significantly better and polished and better looking than touch wiz... The thing bringing them down is their choices and marketing ..like I don't know how many people crave the new HTC device than they see no SD card or removable battery that's what bringing HTC down not sense and their marketing tactics
