Since the launch on February 19, HTC One has attracted a lot of attention. Its excellent appearance design, strong configuration and novel camera technology have attracted many users. One also has an important innovation, which is its own HTC Sense 5.0. This latest customized system of HTC has brought the interface of BlinkFeed, giving users a new operating experience. Let's first experience the charm of Sense 5.0 through Butterfly's transplanted ROM.
Test environment
Mobile: HTC Butterfly Bank of China
System: Sense 5.0 portable version (based on Android 4.1.1)
The test in this paper is carried out after the Bank of China HTC Butterfly is used to brush into the Sense 5.0 system. This system is migrated to Butterfly according to the Sense 5.0 on HTC One. Because there are many similarities in the hardware of the two systems, although they are transplanted ROMs, they basically meet the requirements for availability.
The unlocking interface has changed a lot compared with the "ring" unlocking style of Sense 4+, but the unlocking method is actually the same. Drag the unlocking icon from the bottom and release it to unlock (Sense 5.0 on the left and Sense 4+on the right) ▼
The biggest change in the launcher is undoubtedly the addition of a new element called "BlinkFeed". It is believed that this display form will be familiar to users who have used Flipboard. The interface of BlinkFeed also integrates some Internet information into the interface (BlinkFeed on the left, Flipboard on the right) ▼
BlinkFeed also supports the customization of integrated information. Users can customize these contents according to their own preferences ▼
Of course, in addition to BlinkFeed, there are still elements of the traditional Sense. For example, the page turning clock that has been used since the era of Windows Mobile is still retained. We can also add some small plug-ins (Sense 5.0 on the left and Sense 4+on the right) ▼ like ordinary Android phones
The logic of adding plug-ins is also different from that in the past. Like BlinkFeed, the list of plug-ins is also vertically arranged ▼
Sense 5.0 still retains the traditional secondary menu of Android, and a new menu logic has been added here. Generally, Android and systems before Sense 5.0 use horizontal secondary menus. In order to match the vertical interface of BlinkFeed, Sense 5.0 also makes the page turning of the secondary menu a vertical form, and ordinary users may need some time to get used to ▼
There are also many differences between the dial panel and Sense 4+. You can switch pages through left and right operations. In the past, Sense 4+can be realized only by clicking specific icons. Of course, this function is not new. The native Android system has already realized such page switching (Sense 5.0 on the left and Sense 4+on the right) ▼
The weather interface still has weather animation, but the overall style is not too gorgeous ▼
The drop-down list is still very simple, without any shortcut icons, which is inconvenient to use ▼
The style of the setting interface is very similar to Sense 4+. The icon and text appear larger, which is conducive to touch operation ▼
The manifestation of multitask management is also very novel. The program is arranged into a "nine grid", and the task can be closed ▼ through the upward gesture
The photo taking interface has not changed much, and a "Zoe" mode has been added. However, due to the problem of transplanting ROM, there is still some problem in implementing this function on Butterfly ▼
Other built-in applications, flashlight and children's mode, the latter is similar to the "children's garden" on WP8 ▼

summary
Sense 5.0 adds many special functions while maintaining the original features of Sense 4+. For example, the BlinkFeed interface performs well in both operation and experience. At the same time, the previous features of HTC Sense can still be displayed in the form of traditional launchers. Through long-term development, HTC Sense has formed its own routine. Through the addition of this new function, the sense experience has really been improved. If HTC Sense can be further improved on some functional details, it will become more powerful.
