HTC Sense 4′s approach to the recent apps interface function is probably the most unique and visually appealing of them all. As opposed to rather dull and stock(ish) vertically scrolling tiles of your recent apps, you get a full preview of an app, which you can swipe left or right to the next recent app—and all in snazzy 3D. And although it is true that this isn’t the most efficient way of navigating to a recent app, not everything in life is about efficiency.
So for users of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, Arc S, Pro and Neo who are getting a bit bored with their current look of the recent apps interface, XDA Senior Member Madaditya ported the Sense 4 recent apps interface to the aforementioned devices. However, only users running either the official Android 4.0 ICS firmware or CyanogenMod 10 on their devices will be able to install the port.
There are two ways of installing this mod with very little variation between the two. The first method is to simply flash the provided zip file called ‘Whole Mod’ through a custom recovery. This installs the mod with default settings. If you want to switch things up a bit, you can change the dimensions of the recent apps preview thumbnail by editing an xml file in the Framework-res.apk according to instructions, and flashing the zip file called ‘SystemUI only.’
So if a Sense 4 recent apps interface sounds like something you wouldn’t mind having on your supported device, check out the Xperia Arc and Arc S, or the Pro and Neo for more information.
