Need some advice PLEASE - HTC One X

Hey guys.. I've been a One X owner for a while now.. About a month or two. So far I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed ARHD 6.0.0 but im still sort of unhappy about how it works. Multitasking is still horrible and i know that's how its designed by HTC but I am a heavy multitasker and i cant handle that, plus my data limit is 1GB and constantly redrawing webpages on chrome eats my data.
So now im wondering what my options are... If I should leave sense 4.0 out completely. Update to ARHD 7..go CM9... Try Pokemon rom. Idk.
The issues I need sorted out are
1. Multitasking fixed
2. Camera noise/compression MUCH reduced (also the front cam is horrible compared to the S3, if that can be fixed)
3. Battery life. Recently I have no idea why I cant get more than 2-3 hours screen time during the day.. When using the came I barely get 2 hours. This is VERY inconvenient.
4. I prefer the stock ICS switcher. Not HTC's. Not a huge issue though.
So from you guys experiences, whats the best rom to go with? The MOST important thing is the multitasking and battery. Why I haven't been trying roms myself is because I am very very scared to flash again...
Thanks in advance for any input.. Ive done all the searching I can but id really like some advice.. System tuners memory values doesn't do it for me..
Thanks again!

I need to bug you on this. Works how well on one x?
To OP. Its best to read up on the dev forum and try out different roms every 2 days til you know where you want to stay imho.
Kernels and scripts will help you out as well as stated above

[Q] SLIM ICS 4.2 for HTC ONE X ROCKS MY WORLD WERE OTHERS MADE ME STRES - WHY?S

Hi Folks. My first post on here but have been messing with Android since G1 and was with my trusted Galaxy Nexus until last week I bought the HTC One X.
I must admit that S-On is a pain and i have found it more difficult to flash ROMS to the device after Unlocking Boot-loader on HTCDEV and rooting the Device.
Does any one know of any way to remove S-Off at the minute or is this unlikely in the next couple of weeks?
I tried a few ROMS including CM9 and Paranoid Android without success but have to applaud the Slim ICS Rom for the pure delight in ease of Install and it runs beautifully as it did on my Galaxy Nexus. Is there something about Slim ICS that makes it more simply to port to than others on the market at the minute or is it just my device.
BTW I ensure I went down the Fastboot avenue with Cache and Dalvik clearing etc to try and prevent a Boot-loop scenario but only ICS worked for me.
Anyone out there wishing to try a fast light and very simple ROM to port to then I highly recommend this avenue to explore. :victory:
no, sorry there is no way to s-off a htc one x tegra 3 version.
Did you flash the boot.IMG of each ROM and then erase cache in fastboot? Might be the reason.for other roms not booting.

ICSlim was actually ported by the actual developer of ICslim
Hey, since you came from the Gnex can you please tell me if the battery life is actually better or worse than your previous phone? I am using Gnexus right now but I want to buy a new phone and can't really decide between SGS3 and HOX. Although HOX is a clear winner here I am very concerned about the battery life since it is one of the most important things when it comes to phones for me. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks. Well 3-5 hours of screen on time is definitely an improvement for me,since my current Nexus can barely stand 1,5 hours of browsing. I just got an oportunity to buy a grey one although I wanted the white one. Hope that I won't be disapointed in the terms of looks.

This handset is way better for heavy use than my G nex was and I find it to be of a much higher quality than the Samsung unit. I found that after a fast boot cache clear then the One X runs other roms without issue. Currently trying out Cyanogen Mod 9 and it too runs smoothly on this handset. Must say that this is probably the best handset I have enjoyed since the Nexus One and I recommend t to all of you considering a move in handset.

CM10 Nightlies or ARHD 12.0?

Im deciding on which one to stick with... I really love the look and feel of cm10 but the battery life issue is the only thing holding me back whereas with arhd i heard it has great battery life although sense ui doesnt really appeal to me a whole lot but i dont mind it. if you were in my shoes, which one would you recommend and perhaps a small reason why? thanks
cant go wrong with cyanogen.

Try not to ask too much of these, it can annoy developers and start arguments over best rom. It's up to you they, both have their strengths and weaknesses.

how are you finding the battery life?
In my experience, Sense ROMs offer much better standby time - the phone barely uses any battery when in deep-sleep. By comparison, using CM10, your battery will be slowly eaten even when sleeping. I'm not saying it makes CM10 unusable - far from it - but if you might get 3 or 4 days standby on Sense you'll be lucky to get 2 with CM10.
As for screen time - yes, Sense is still better... but it's less noticeable here. Perhaps 4 hours in a Sense ROM might be 3 on CM10.
I am currently running CM10 nightly from 22nd October and the 0.7 Bricked kernel. On balance, I prefer the performance boost in CM10 to the better battery life in Sense but you might have different needs.
Hope this helps you make up your mind.
i think CM10 should use another kernel such as NCX or Bricked for save battery
I recently tried IceColdJelly (AOKP) for a day or too. I missed all the tweaks that was offered in ViperX (Just upgraded HBOOT to 1.28), the customizable features were plenty some, and the ROM was indeed very fast. The battery was also decent, though I didn't check it fully.
However, what I missed the most was the Sense UI, especially the dialer and the way it fits all the contacts together, and all the apps can simply open a contact and view it fully. The AOKP dialer was especially uncomfortable (much bigger than Sense's).
I tried installing another dialer but couldn't make it the ultimate default (whenever receiving a call, the original dialer's animation would pop for a second, then switch to my dialer for the rest of the duration).
Since I didn't find the equivalent of this in AOKP, I skipped town after a day or too in favor of ARHD 12.0, and happy ever since.
battery life is great compared to the stock sense rom. Im using the stock kernel at the moment. Its last about twice as long. No bugs so far.
[Cyanogenized HTC 1X]
Yeah I just flashed cm10 today on my phone and I'm going to use it for a week then try out arhd perhaps next week. So far my battery has been dying sortve fast but after a couple of cycles it should get better.

I'm in a similar position, not sure when my carier will release JB, so thinking of taking the plunge and trying CM10. ( as I dont need to upgrade my HBOOT ) for this. Are nightlies stable for daily use incl. camera, wifi etc ? Some people say no issues, others say they have issues. With CM10, how long before a stable is released ?
Many of the issues reported lately had been the result of some kernel commits for a newer mpdecision. SODs mainly. Those changes are now reverted in the latest nightly 27th. I have been using cm10 for the past three months with bricked 0.7 and have never been happier. Has all the tweaks I need with a battery that gets me through all day with 3-4 hours screen time.

How often would you flash the nightlies ? Surely you wouldn't be re-flashing every night ?
I have settled with seadersn edition. There is a separate thread available for it under original android development. It already includes bricked kernel as default.

What is the best rom?

Hey guys,
Whats the best latest htc desire rom that is stable with app2sd or sd-ext capabilities in it, so as i wont have to deal with low space issues..the one i am using now has a slow performance and apps take time to start + crashing...
Thanks.

I'm using the cm10 jb rom from vj and it seems pretty good. I did run out of space until I moved davlik cache to sd, but I think that's because I have a lot of apps installed
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk 2
I also advise vj's CM10 jelly bean ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945441). It's fast and stable. I find only video recording/playing is problematic.
I use it in combination with custom MTD partition this way : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806321. I have size 190 2.
I don't move dalvik to SD. Although I haven't experimented lately anymore, my experience is dalvik on SD was slower. With a big enough partition you can keep data and dalvik on internal. Or using Titanium Backup (pro?), move dalvik into the system partition if you keep system partition large enough (about 30-40MB to spare). That frees up the storage on internal.

If you need something really stable and reliable, don't go to anything above android 2.3 based though.
Nice. Not only we got another best rom thread but we collectively evolved to place Jellybean in them.

Chrome issue and YouTube flickering are known issues on that ROM along with WiFi tethering. This is expected on a 3yr old phone.
Apart from that everything else is working as expected. And many can live with the above issues.
And that guy and few others like Nikez and Croni are doing an amazing job to keep our Desire's alive. Else this would have been a forgotten chapter long ago.
And yea stability is for each of his own. For me this works. And JB is addictive too. :beer:

Your idea about it is bs. You're an old dumb a** stuck on the thought that GB is stable and nothing else. You aren't ready to think and try beyond that.
So just keep your thinking to yourself and stop bashing and poking into every thread thats appreciative of JB or ICS. As I said earlier, without these great devs, this phone would have been dead long ago.
Learn to respect hard work being done by the devs to keep this phone alive on XDA or anywhere else.
If you're happy with your aged and outdated ROM, you better stick to it.

Tytung's NexusHD2 CM10 ROM (here) shows that it is possible to have a QSD8250/Adreno200 phone running JellyBean perfectly stable with all features working - including 720p H/W decoding. I believe it is just a matter of time before some of the legacy QCOM OMX library modifications done by the likes of tytung and Ganster41 make their way over here and bring some of that same goodness to our Bravos.

Nice. Maybe porting that rom could solve the Desire JB stability problem. They do have the exact same cpu, so it should be easy to port.

You really have to get yourself a life. Same goes to that erklat. I think I am speaking for most of the users here when I tell you to stop nagging and get a freakin life instead of complaining 24-7. WE GET IT, YOU DONT LIKE ICS/JB on Desire.
I think all the hate towards ics/jb came from the fact that a lot of users kept complaining about various bugs, even when the roms where in Alpha state, expecting an ics/jb rom to work like a gb rom on our Desires.
But still, devs have worked hard, and these roms aren't as bad as they used to be, or as bad as some say.
The conclusion is that we shouldn't make any new "best rom" threads.

Hahaha ok. Ur missing the point, its not that i dont like jb, if i didnt like it then why the f**k would i even bother trying them? The fact is that people keep saying they r stable and vj cm10 is stable when it isnt, having "fastest/stable" in the title is a joke coz its far from it.
And all i do is complain 24/7? I got 400 ish thanks coz i helped people fix thier phones, not because i complain.

Look, i know every phone is different and some roms somehow work better on different devices. But when i used it, downloading something using chrome caused the phone to reboot, camera worked then sometimes the screen would go funny and u had close it then open again. The lag came after like 2 days IF u hadnt rebooted ur phone in the 2 days, a reboot took it away. After 2/3 days of my phone being on, if i long pressed the screen to add a widget r that, the popup box (widgets,apps etc) went mental, it was like 50 mashed up little boxes in 1. And ofcourse there a few other bugs that r known.
I never said JB is crap or people shouldnt use it, im not slating it at all or i wouldnt even bother my a$$ trying it, my point was simply that pretty much every1 says its stable when its quite clear its not (yet).
I do respect ALL devs and im glad they keep bringing new roms to our phones, if i didnt then i would be s-on, not rooted and using stock 2.3 gb from htc.

So,now i want to ask you guys of you Sense 5 experience.How are the battery?Cause mine are not so good.And i don`t know,yesterday was better but today my battery drain much.I see in battery monitoring app cause kernel (Android OS) consumed most (cpu usage: 4h 11m).Otherwise,i must say Sense 5 are very smooth and i`m very impressed.I saw there Vipers and ARHD roms who are very good in my Sensations.And again,ask you guys,what rom(Sense 5 rom) did you use and have best battery life?Also,you use custom kernel? I know cause aren`t "best" rom,must try different combinations of roms/kernels but i want a starting point

Welcome to hox community!
Back to your post, there is no clear definition of "best rom" as it's very much subjective, and even two phones with same specs, cid, rom..will perform differently.
Well, in short, you like sense 5, and now just updated to latest official stock 4.2.2 with some concerns of battery. So, same as me, try Alex V kernel with better battery time, also some cool tweaks.
Btw, you might note that after update or flash new rom, battery normally gets better after a few cycle of full charge. So, dont judge too quickly.

Everyone's battery life is different because everyone has different uses. Apart from battery saver mode you can try "greenify" in the play store to make some apps sleep when you are not using them.
and you will not get an answer to "which is best rom" as it is not allowed, against the forum rules, it is best just to read about different rom's and try them yourself.

You're welcomed. I was once newcomer before.
Stock kernel is also good and i used it since ota update until i found alex v kernel with s2w/dt2w functions which are really amazing, and can help the power button last longer, plus other benefits. And I started using alex v since then.
Also, wanna share some info: with official ota 4.2.2 update, my phone is now at new hboot 1.73, base 4.19.707.3, and radio.. Most of the custom roms are built on previous base which I dont see good reason to switch to those custom roms, unless it's using same or newer base than mine. So, just to ensure proper checking before flashing custom roms.
Have good time with hox..

You're welcomed. I was once newcomer before.
Stock kernel is also good and i used it since ota update until i found alex v kernel with s2w/dt2w functions which are really amazing, and can help the power button last longer, plus other benefits. And I started using alex v since then.

My phone cid is HTC_044 (Asia_WWW), using stock rom + alex v kernel. I tried some 4.2 and 4.3 custom roms but still prefer stock due to above rom base reason. But you can try custom rom freely as base is same.

Factory reset after rom flashing could make battery life better and smoother (as phone system is likely to run without any obstacles).
Play with stock kernel for some days and notice the battery life, then try Alex V Kernel and compare.
For me, I lower CPU speed to 1.2GHz and phone is awesome: running smoothly, just get warm up a little bit after nearly 1 hour of constant web surfing or play heavy games (Fifa 14, Real Racing...). Ofcourse, some small delay can be encountered but it's fair enough in exchange of cooler temperature and better battery. Man, try some small tweaks until it seems best for your usage!

[Q] hTC Desire or hTC One V - that is a question

I'm proud owner of both hTC Desire and hTC One V. I rooted and s-offed Desire some time ago, tried variety of ROMs and currently using it as daily driver with Evervolvs KitKat nightly installed.
I bought HOV as a replacement for my old Desire and was badly suprised when HOV started to lag. Placing a call or starting an SMS sometimes takes up to 2 minutes. Using it on daily basis is near to imposible. I didn't think of rooting HOV since I still have warranty. Now I changed my mind, which brings me to my question.
Should I go with that and root, etc. , or should I stick with Desire, which currently works more fluid than HOV? Will HOV get that much better with custom ROM, or should I just sell it and forget it? Any opinion is appreciated. Thanks.

HOV is better with a custom ROM.. the stock One V ROM is slow at times... it's one of the reasons why I rooted
@MameTozhio has right. My One V was really slow and I rooted it when it has 1 year and 3 months. Now this phone is really smooth and really fast but don't use ROMs like mySensev because it's like stock slow but really pretty(animations etc, full sense)

AOSP
Shpongle
NexusPrimo
ParanoidAndroid(AOSPA)
Upcoming:
TrippedOutROM(4.2.2) Really stable fast smooth WiFi doesn't work
The problem with the One V is ram. You can be using something like slim bean completely stripped down to the bare minimum of system applications and data apps and it still fails on you. Just use the stock browser on one or two pages and the entire device will freeze up requiring a reboot. Horrible. In truth we need a way to move many apps out of the system partition to either true sd or at the very least to the data partition. And I do not suggest anyone purchase virgin mobiles version of the htc desire unless you want the same issues again. Best off buying something else.

But, as I understand, I can use some kind of SD-EXT to expand RAM? Or am I wrong? On Desire i have a2sd script and it is working like a charm..

A2SD works. Expand RAM works for me. I've got 2GB of RAM now(32GB SD+64GB HDD disc connected to One V).
