Unofficial HTC Sense UI 4.1 leaked

The HTC Sense UI is, by far, one of the best looking skin in the Android platform especially when it’s paired with an equally good-looking One X. If anything, the only thing it needs improvement on is its performance and that’s just what the new iteration allegedly brings to the table.

The Sense 4.1 is aimed at retaining the good stuff and eliminating the bad and unnecessary. This resulted to a smoother and faster UI deserving for the sleek One X. Here’s what the folks from xda-developers.com have uncovered in the latest version.

1. Live wallpaper lag has been fixed
2. 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.)
3. A dedicated button to switch tabs in the browser. (You’d have to go into the menu for that, too)
4. Complete removal of all 3D-Effects in the launcher leading to a completely lag-free experience.
5. Probably the most important – Rebased on Android 4.0.4
6. Added 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 Buttons
7. New, blazing fast kernel. We mean it. It scored a pretty impressive 59oo+ in Quadrant benchmark (compared to 5100+ on Sense 4)
8. Wifi-dropping/ Icon showing weak signal Fixes.
9. Better Battery life- 5 Hour+ Screen-on time as compared to a measly 3 Hour+ on Sense 4.

If you own an international version of HTC One X and know a thing or two about tinkering with your OS you can already install the Sense UI 4.1 along with a stable version of custom Android 4.0.4 ROM. You can find the information on how to do it, as well as the download link here.
