I find it strange that HTC seems to have removed any form of animation when in an app and hitting the home button while using the Sense launcher. It seems... Odd, I guess. I suppose it's quicker than watching an animation, but it almost reminds me of using Windows with animations turned off. I know other launchers (such as Nova) allow the user to change this, but I actually like Sense 5 (and was bugged by the way the lockscreen uses the Sense dock, and Nova doesn't change that).
Any thoughts on this?

HTC has always removed these animations. On all the versions of Sense. This is probably the mentality of the "professional" aspect of Sense. I know many people who disable animations on their phones because they fell that's ridiculous or "cheap" to have too animations like that...

Interesting. This is my first HTC phone as well. Given the history of Sense, I'm somewhat surprised HTC would do such a thing. Not that I'm complaining...
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
Yep. The better thing they could do would be to set up as our preferences... Like in Nova / Apex

That's the right guys, but again - it seems dead. The last posts in that forum are dated for the end of May, before the thread on this site was declared abandoned. Many of us have been watching this for a long time, and it really doesn't seem like it's going to happen.
Sad

What about the launcher? It's just a launcher right? Like any launcher should just work. I can understand the rest of the parts being a problem but a launcher is just a launcher right? If not than maybe someone can clarify why

If I recall correctly, the launcher is baked into Sense, and Sense 4 uses a different framework than previous versions of Sense (You need the proper framework to have it work).
IMO, Sense 3.6 is ok. Only some "little" things diferent between 3.6 and 4.0 Like
-Transparent Notification Bar.
-Background color in Settings.
-Flip-style "windows feel" task manager
In this box, we easily find the transparent mod, and flip-style task manager.

Thanks for clarifying that. My flyer is similar with its sense 1.1 for tablets. Several people been trying to sense strip it but some things can't be changed such as the lock screen and menu colors due to framework differences

Hey guys,
Not sure if I'm the only person to miss some of the widgets I used to have on the One X and other HTC devices before.
The widget I'm missing most is the Messages widget, cause I always used it for my text messages.
Is there a way to get these widgets on the One?

Same here, they were forced to strip down sense by other idiots always calling it bloat. Now a lot of the widgets I used to use are gone just like you I used to use the text messages widget all the time. Mail was another one of my regular widgets.

A lot of what was in Sense 4 and Sense 4+ was unnecessary bloat, at least in my experience. The performance difference when running a de-Sensed ROM or an AOSP ROM, at least on the One XL, was night-and-day compared to a pure Sense ROM - even on 4.1.
Allow me to download Sense widgets in an HTC store or something, but they should be optional installs, at most.
I miss the 4x1 weather clock with the nice graphics. The sense 5 version might be 'lighter' but I rather liked the clouds that looked cloudy rather then tv weather forecast icony.

There are always other apps than can do that in the same way or better than the HTC widget ones and are less intrusive to the battery and perfomance. What I miss is the lock screen animation, I liked it on the One XL, even when It was a battery sucker. ^^
The difference between Sense 4.x and Sense 5 is really awesome, Sense 5 is faster, sleekier and much faster and less battery intensive than Sense 4.x as for now.

You are still able to do this using the BlinkFeed screen. Just pull down the feed to reveal the menu and tap the pen.
But can't update more than one of the three options shown at the same time...

One of these days you'll realize nobody really cares what your "status updates" are.
Facebook is dumb, twitter a little less dumb when used for news and not "OMG you won't believe who I just saw #someonefamous" crap.
Am I missing something here or does the 4.2.2 really not have widgets on the lockscreen?

Thanks to HTC, no. We have to wait for someone to make it so we can flash the stock 4.2.2 lockscreen. People in the ARHD thread got it to work by renaming or removing the HTC lockscreen apk but supposedly some could add widgets and some couldn't. That thread moves way to fast so I can't find any of the info for that now so have no idea how to get it to work or if it really does work.

It's ridiculous that HTC didn't add this option.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
for some reason if you dirty flash from a 4.1.2 ROM to a 4.2.2 one you get the ability to add lockscreen widgets to the stock lock screen (which you get by deleting HtcLockscreen.apk)
I suspect HTC removed whatever bits of system ui from 4.2.2 that supported them, and dirty flashing is the only way (so far) to get those bits.
Do they work on stock lockscreen?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
And I thought Samsung's implementation of Lockscreen widgets was dumb... at least they can do it. Bad HTC, that's a very bad HTC. I'm gonna get a rolled up newspaper.

Mine works. I just flashed the 4.2.2 rom TWICE, then deleted HTCLockscreen.apk (or add a .bak to the end of it) and it worked. I went back to 4.1 right not so I don't have a screenshot, but it did work for me.
HTCs lockscreen system is bad enough already. You can't even have a different wallpaper than your home screen unless you are willing to lose out on the function of the other lockscreens. God forbid us being able to have a different wallpaper AND having notifications on our lockscreen. I really hope someone works on this. Because from what I can tell torxx and mike couldn't really care less widgets on the lockscreen. Torxx just told me to use something like widgetlocker but that thing causes lag sometimes and mike says he hates lockscreen widgets period.

Has the scrolling wallpaper simply vanished, or did I miss the memo? My original Motorola Droid can still scroll wallpapers, and my terrible Samsung Droid Charge could right up to the second to last update. Fully expected the One to have this feature, but it seems to be missing/buried/disabled. Was this feature deemed too processor intense and abandoned? Did Google just decide it was ugly, or is there some other reason scrolling wallpapers would be disappearing from Android?
It's a Sense thing. Install a different launcher like Nova or Apex and there you can find scrolling background in the settings.

Apparently it's a touchwiz thing too, then. Why can't they just leave that option in and let users decide?
Well, if I get tired of this launcher I just may try out Nova and Apex. I've heard of them and have wondered how they compared to launchers that have been around longer like Launcher Pro.
There's an app called landscape wallpaper, it makes the wallpaper scrollable again

Correct me if I am wrong, but I cannot seem to find a way to change the home screen grid size. Is there a way to do it on this phone using ARHD? Would love to squeeze out a bit more real estate.

Haven't seen a way to change it. I think there was a mod in the themes and apps section that did this though. Might have to dig a bit for it though.
