HTC One X with Android 4.2.2 & HTC Sense 5.0 update

HTC One X is one of the very few (if not the only one) devices from HTC which reached 4.xx.xxx.x software version (4.18.491.2). This only proves how great this device still is and how many users are still actively using it. Today HTC One X users are receiving one of the most important update - Android 4.2.2 with HTC Sense 5.0. Last summer HTC did similar update, upgrading HTC One X with Android 4.1.1 from Android 4.0.4 and bumping HTC Sense from 4.0 to so called "4+". However, HTC Sense 4.0/4+ update wasn't that significant and didn't bring so many new features and improvements as HTC Sense 5.0.






The new update includes well known HTC BlinkFeed™ (available firstly only on HTC One), native Android Quick Settings and completely re-designed HTC Sense interface. Two features are missing from HTC One - HTC BoomSound™ and HTC Zoe™. Unfortunately, both are hardware related. BoomSound™ obviously needs dual speakers audio system, and HTC Zoe™ was created to work with small pictures taken with UltraPixel camera - which allows user to take excellent pictures in natural conditions using only 4 mega pixels resolution in pair with dedicated HTC ImageChip™ 2.








As you can see, there is a changelog attached to the OTA notification, however it is just a "commercial" changelog - that means there are a lot of different changes/improvements under the hood. Android 4.2.2 update brought a lot of changes itself, not to mention new HTC Sense 5.0 features, further optimization in SoC drivers and kernel related improvements.


The new update for HTC One X looks great and surely will bring some fresh air to the device. HTC One X+ already received HTC Sense 5.0 update few days ago, however it was only Taiwanese update so far. Below you can see HTC BlinkFeed screen together with Android Quick Settings on latest HTC One X 4.18.401.2 software.

    1. Yeah, amazing news... if you want a show piece for your showcase. You can show it to people and say "Hey! phone used to once upon a time!!". The update has screwed up all the "smart"phone features. A basic phone(not so "smart" phones) has more working features.

  16. when HTC One X+ get 4.2.2 & sense 5?

    ReplyDelete
  17. What is the most straightforward way of upgrading to ARHD 31.1? I'm running ARHD 9.7.2 (I haven't touched my phone custom rom-wise in a long time..).

    If i'm right it is:
    1) Backup apps with titanium backup
    2) Upgrade HBOOT
    3) Install ARHD 31.1 (It says data wipe is optional if coming from earlier version....but it 9.7.2 too far back?)
    4) Restore apps with titanium backup (?)

    Thanks in advance for the help. I'm so clueless as it's been quite a while...

    1. Yeah 9.7.2 - I had that on my One X for ages too! Back up your phones apps and data with Titanium Backup, then get your phone to stock ROM before upgrading Hboot. Get the correct Ice Cream Sandwich stock from here (http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor) and then upgrade Hboot

      Help for upgrading Hboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221171

      Once you have the latest Hboot and are onto Jelly Bean, put the correct ARHD boot image onto your phone and the ARHD ROM then flash. Good luck.

      Delete
    2. "Once you have the latest Hboot and are onto Jelly Bean" - By that do you mean after the HBOOT is updated (to 1.36?), update manually to the stock JB rom before flashing with ARHD?

      Delete
  18. - I miss the stock taskmanager in the new update.
    - It's also impossible to zoom out your screens like you did with tapping home on your homescreen.
    - It's not possible anymore to sweep all around your screens. From the fifth to the first with sweeping left.
    - If you search for an application and you are in the middle of your application list in the menu, you can't search. You have to go to the top of the applications, and then you can search through your applications.

    But it's a nice new interface, except of this (little) things.

  23. Why do I always update? Last update I did, my wireless for some reason seemed a lot weaker and now with the latest update, my camera also doesn't work, comes on for roughly 2 seconds and goes back to the home screen, so annoying. Other apps do work with the camera but I want the original one to work as it's much better. I hope HTC brings out a fix soon.

    1. Forgot to mention, I did multiple factory resets and it never worked, even before I restored my data, even deleted all my internal files too. Even tried in Safe mode without luck. Make sure you take a backup if you do a factory reset though.

    2. I have exactly the same problem.

  31. HTC please fix the Camera issue.

  32. The HTC One X was one of the best phones on the market, until the update to 4.2.2! Now its probably the worse one on the market! Before you scrolled through the apps, sideways, now its up and down! Why? And its not a smooth scroll now either. You can't save apps to the internal memory now! And you can't move them between the phone memory and internal memory either! WHY? So, you have 25GB sitting there that you can't use. And then of the 6GB of the phone memory over 4GB is used by pre-installed files and apps!?!? WHY? And if that wasn't bad enough, try making a call... When you figure out how to get the right number and person up, try pressing the BIG Green CALL button! Nothing happens!!! To make the call you have to touch the Name and Number, in white half way up the screen... WHY?!?! This "Update" IS Utter Rubbish...

    1. I totally agree. Worst decision I've ever made to update. My phone now looks cheap and it's not as easy to use...

      Delete
    2. Totally agree, I didn't buy a product 12 months ago for features to be removed or totally change later. Utter crap, why can't we still choose the previous look and layout. This was why I moved away from Apple's products.
