It feels like just yesterday that we were getting acquainted with the back-to-basics ways of HTC's Sense 4.0.
Well-known HTC phone modder Football doesn't want us to get comfy: he
claims to have both obtained a leaked version of Sense 4.1's ROM Upgrade
Utility (RUU) and folded it into the 2.2 update to his Maximus firmware
for the international One X. While it's no Jelly Bean,
the Maximus-tuned version of HTC's Android 4.0 flavor appears to give
Sense a shot in the arm, taking care of lag in the launcher and live
wallpapers in addition to delivering a healthy overall speed boost. That
0.1 numbering gives a good indication of just how light the visible
feature set might be, though -- other than an existing update to
substitute the virtual menu button for a long-press of the home key, the
interface changes are mostly limited to dedicated buttons for switching
browser tabs and between different cameras. It's no surprise that HTC
hasn't said a word about its own plans; rumors of new One devices, however, can't help but fuel suspicions that Sense 4.1 is just around the bend.
