[Q] Custom ROM thats as close to an OFFICIAL DeBranded as possible ?? - HTC One X

Hi guys, I have an HTC One X thru 3 Mobile UK, and yes, its FULL of bloatware and apps I do not want or need. So, my question is, if I unlock via HTCdev, I will NOT be able to flash the OFFICIAL Generic HTC ROM (DeBranded), is this right ?? Also, if I cant, what custom ROM can I use that IS AS NEAR to the official ROM as possible ?
Many Thanks in Advance for your kind suggestions.

ARHD is almost official ROM, but most of bloatware is gone and its tweaked for performance

agreed with Putti..ARHD is the one for you mate

Yeah definitely ARHD. I'm running the new v6 release on my previously-branded 3UK handset and its fantastic. Add the menu button change and its spot on.

Is it not possible to "Custom" the stock ROM so that it will flash and it has NOTHING removed or NOTHING changed (ie Vanilla)

You did flash this ROM?
I rooted and gfree S-OFF my original 708.5 and now using Virtuous v0.8.1.
Good battery life with SmartAss at 1.49GHz.
except some wake up issue when receiving a call

nop, didn't flash custom ROMs, my point of rooting and S-off is becuz i wana overclock.. other than that.. my phone is stock... my worry is when htc comes out with GingerBread for DesireZ.. the upgrade would forbid our phone to be rooted forever.. can't image the phone running @ 800MHz...

I guess devs will release a pre-rooted "official" ROM by that time
just like the current egypt ROM

I can't find even on the chinese forum.
however I think it's not necessary cuz so many good ROMs out there.
I did tried flash the older HK ROM, feel list almost the same with the one come with the phone
if you know people who have bought new DZ in HK and havn't change anything yet, we can ask for a dump I guess.

make a image file of the whole system so that we can flash it into other devices or modify it
having the origional dump is like having the RUU

I don't think it's that simple though. At least, not according to the responses I got when I asked this question recently. Official RUUs and ROMs are digitally signed, for example, and we're not going to be able to do that bit.

ONe V with singapur rom version

I bought my phone unlocked from amazon, and it came with a singapur/malasia rom version.
This doesn't allow me to change the language to Spanish (I bought this phone for my mom).
Where can i get an HTC ROM with Spanish language as an option?
I don't want any other ROM (CM or any other) because my mom is used to Sense.
Thanks

now, do I have to unlock the bootloader and root or since it's an official HTC file there is a way to install it directly?
Well first of all you won't be able to install official HTC rom for different region. So the above thread wont help you much. What you need is to unlock the bootloader and flash custom ROM. You want sense so I recommend to flash this one:
[ROM-PrimoU] [15-July] myONEv RC3.0
And I also recommend to flash Weather_Lockscreen_RC3.0_update.zip and JellyBean-Animations-myONEvRC3.0.zip from hereMyOne addons The first one fixes the size of icons and the second JellyBean like user interface animations.
Well, what I want is the HTC original rom, but with the option to have it in Spanish... That's it.
I've never done this before (changing only ruu)... I've always unlocked bootloader, soff, and then went with cm7 or energy back in the days, and that's why I'm asking
So again, should I only run the exe file? Or treat this a a rom (unlocking bootloader, etc first)?
You can try the ruu but you can only instal ruu for the same region. You can not install stock HTC for different region. So unlock bootloader and install the one I recommended. It will be like stock HTC just a bit better.

Thanks for the help... Where can I find a log about what has been improved with that rom? Just curious.
Btw, I can change the language to Spanish right?
Just check the link. There is a change log and yes you will be able to choose Spanish.

Look at the market morelocale2. This app unlock all languages installed in your phone.

Getting rid of branding

Hi all,
sorry for my lack of knowledge, I'm a brand new HTC One X owner. I'd like to have the very standard software (ICS in this case) without the branding of T-Mobile. I've bought my phone in Poland (Europe Version).
Any step-by-step tutorials in here? I surely don't want to brick my new phone
not 100% sure on this but think only one way to debrand that is to unlock bootloader and root then install custom rom could be wrong tho

Well, I've got no problem with unlocking the bootloader etc. but I would like to have the normal ICS with HTC's Sense on the phone rather than some cyanogenmod or something along those lines. If anyone can help me out with the needed files and a step-by-step how-to (I'm not dumb when technology is involved, but I have absolutely no contact with the moding scene of Smartphones).

I think ARHD is meant to be pretty close to the standard sense experience. Cyanogen is a good release though, but maybe wait until its more stable on one x?

While i might instal this rom one day, I'd like to give the stock version a try. I don't want all the bull**** from t-mobile though The bootanimation alone is kinda ruining the experience for me

ARHD is a stock Rom tweaked to make it even better. you will find it much better, that is the only way to remove it, or rooting and flashing another boot animation
Easiest way I found was to unlock bootloader, root then delete all the carrier bloat you don't want and then flash a new bootanimation

Since you still opt for ICS the ARHD is the best alternative choice! Just search the thread on the XDA Developer you'll find it.
I have a T-Mob as well but flashed on CM10 for JellyBean and so far works great!
