HTC Sense 4.1 Leaked For International HTC One X, Based On Android 4.0.4



When HTC announced the One series of phones last February, Sense 4.0 was being hailed as a huge step toward a lighter, less laggy manufacturer skin that was closer to vanilla Android with some UI improvements. Though Sense 4.0 is significantly better than past versions, it still contains some bottlenecks (home screen, live wallpaper, and app drawer lag) and UI quirks (unsightly menu bar for legacy apps).

Looks like HTC is on the case, however, as the leaked Sense 4.1 RUU shows. Tech site Geeksaber
has gone hands on with this new version and lists the following promising observations:
Live wallpaper lag has been fixed
There’s a dedicated button in the Camera app to switch between Front/Backward facing cameras. (earlier you’d have to go into the menu for that.)A dedicated button to switch tabs in the browser. (You’d have to go into the menu for that, too)Complete removal of all 3D-Effects in the launcher leading to a completely lag-free experience.Probably the most important- Rebased on Android 4.0.4Added ability to remap the recent apps button/ Long-press recent apps/ Long-press Home as Menu. (yes, it removes the Virtual menu bar) under Settings->Display, Gestures and ButtonsNew, blazing fast kernel. We mean it. It scored a pretty impressive 59oo+ in Quadrant benchmark (compared to 5100+ on Sense 4)Wifi-dropping/ Icon showing weak signal Fixes.Better Battery life- 5 Hour+ Screen-on time as compared to a measly 3 Hour+ on Sense 4.
Not sure whether this is the same version currently being pushed to the AT&T One X, but it seems likely.

XDA developer football
already has a ROM based on this version of Sense called HTC One maXimus V2.2, which is available for the international Tegra 3-powered HTC One X. Hopefully, this new Sense will make it to all One series phones soon, including my Evo 4G LTE.
