Android 4.2.2 Is Rolling Out For HTC One, 'Sense UI' Too Gets Some Tweaks


The Google edition of the HTC One debuted on July 5 with the latest android, and now the carrier and non carrier versions too are on the way to get the 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.

The update to the device can be downloaded over the air and it’s already out in some of the European countries, and most likely it will follow the suit in other regions of the union too. But yet there's no definite confirmation by the Taiwanese electronic giant on an update for the HTC One phones in India.

The flagship HTC mobile was admired world-wider for the hardware it packs in its sleek, but also the admiration had to confront flickers in the software department. The good news is that, this android update is bringing its own improvements in the UI, like Daydream screensaver/ picture frame mode, quick settings toggles and lock screen widgets, also revamps Sense 5, HTC's user interface layer on top of the OS, according to AndroidCentral.


The other features included are: Launcher bar enhancement; Widget panel rearrangement; New lock screen style and widget; Enhanced behavior of the home button; The death of the black bar; Battery percentage in the status bar; Quick settings; and AE/AF enhancements in the camera.


HTC One’s blink feed has also bumped up, as now it can pull-in updates from Instagram along with carrying out its previous job of aggregating updates from news and social networking services, eventually  bringing them to the user’s lock screen. The vestigial Menu bar has been removed since it occupied a large part of the screen’s landscape when the same purpose was served by soft buttons integrated within apps. And there is a new swipe up home button gesture for launching Google Now, and also offers new templates for "video highlights"- the feature that enables users to create and share short movies from their photos and videos. It also adds battery percentage in the notification bar, according to NDTV Gadget.
