• You can customize the Sense 4.0 for the lock and home screen. This can be done by changing the texture and color

 

The points to improve:

• It has both capacitative keys and software keys because the OS of the HTC One X is designed for software keys. The menu button comes as a software key, instead of being capacitive.
