Hi there,
I have a question. I ran Revolution HD on my HTC One X which had severe flickering in the beginning .... like so many others on this device. However after it was updated to HTC 1.29.401.11 the flickering was gone. Took maybe a couple of days but it was gone eventually
Now I am done with sense and moving on to IceCold AOKP which I absolutely love. However the flickering is back and as bad as it was before.
I am not a developer and maybe even a bit of a noob. But I am trying to understand how things work. So maybe a silly question but do the custom kernel developers incorporate the fix of HTC's 1.29 in their kernels so they get rid of the flickering when using their roms as well?
Regards
J
i have had no flickering on the new 2.05 base roms
It should be incorporated in the kernel as the current kernel sources are old you'll have to wait for new sources to include the fixes.
For the time being you'll have to live with it or flash another custom kernel and see if that improves or flash back to a HTC rom.

Thanks will try some other kernels as well!
On the page of this rom (on which I cannot post as a junior) I read flashing the boot.img included in the download is mandatory. So does this mean i HAVE to use the franco kernel?
I just flashed the stock kernel/modules anyway hoping it would solve the flickering...and it most certainly is not as bad now.
But what could this mean for the rom? Everything seems to work perfectly. So I don't get why franco is mandatory

hi, i'm about to flash leedroid v 2 on my desire hd, but i was wondering what the kernels in his site for? do i really need to flash them? and how?
This is what a Kernel does:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)
Or, a short explanation: It's the interface between your Hard- and Software.
The faster and the more optimized it is, the faster, smoother and energy efficient your DHD runs.
If you're on Leedroids ROM you already have one of the best Kernels around.
In this case it only makes sense to flash another Kernel if you want to overclock your device. (And no, I won't describe overclocking, too. If you've clicked the link above, you're already on wikipedia to look that up, too ;-) ).
i think leedroids rom includes his latest kernel anyway, the flashable one is for people not using his roms
Every ROM comes with a kernel. Leedroid 2.0 came with a kernel. Then later Lee added some modifications to his kernel and a new kernel 2.0.1 was made available and so forth until 2.0.4. Since changes were somewhat minor he did not introduce a new ROM version. But this means different people may be using the same LeeDroid ROM each with different kernels and different experiences. For example the latest recommended kernel seems to be 2.0.3 as 2.0.4 has more battery drain.

Hi,
I'm considering switching on HTC one X, and so to install cm10 on it but as i read the forum, i'm wondering : what are the differences between this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696 and this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784185 ?

I might be wrong but this is what i think
The 1st link you posted is managed by the CM developers, the second link is Tripndroid who based his/her/their rom on the base of the CM developers rom. Basically adding and removing tweaks that this person/team likes and dislikes
If your considering rooting and installing a custom rom. I can recommend the 1st link been using their roms for more than a month now and it's very good rom. If there is anything about sense that you like and will miss try the Sense roms. (Viper and ARHD) are the two major ones that i looked into, before settling on CM10.

hi there just adding to the above post. the first rom is developed with an ultimate goal of becoming the official CM rom, and is ready for everyday use soo far from my experience. The second one is Tripndroid, and he adds his own tweaks as far as i know. however i havent used his ROM yet to know for sure.

Hi there, I am running the ROM from the first post and it's brilliant. I have tried the second one and found it had quite a few bugs and was not nearly as finished as the first ROM. I am busy downloading alpha 5 now to try and am sure it will be just as great as the rest of his updates have been.
Thought I would give my info based on user experience of both ROMs. Also depends on what you looking for; quick ROM or fancy looking, awesome features or a stripped out version.
Well thanks guys, i think i'll go for the TeamNDVRu when i receive my phone, but still waiting september to see if it's worth it or not.
And what about the known issues ?
- Occasional soft-reboots with GPS On + Facebook ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=2184 )
- WiFi direct doesnt work
- MHL output is rotated incorrectly to portrait in horizontal mode (but workaround added since alpha 8 for hw decoded videos/youtube. Use bsplayer from playstore, almost all videos play with it in correct rotation in hwoverlay)
- No FM radio app in ROM. But Spirit FM works from market (it's commercial!)
- USB storage copies slower than normal
- Some paid apps loses settings/acconts due to this android jellybean problem: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34880 Solution is to backup with Titanium Backup and restore to internal memory, not to sd

Some of them will only occur if you have special need for something. (e.g. wifi direct)
Some of them don't occur for everyone. (facebook+gps reboot)
None of them are really a huge concern if you are willing to try jelly bean. And for most of them there is a workaround, fix given in the text you quoted. I have a jelly bean rom installed and I have to say that I don't really feel any negative impact by those known bugs/issues. But do note, that most of these ROMs are not as stable as the 4.0.4 ROMs like ViperX.
I have been using tbaldens ROM and it has been quite good. The ones by trip I have found to be a bit unstable.

Okay I am probably going to sound rather stupid here but I am confused
I have installed many custom roms and many kernels. I am experiencing very very bad flickering with all but the latest stock kernel 1.29.401.11
I got it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692404
Most AOSP roms don't work with this kernel though, so I am going back to a cooked sense rom. I suppose they should work with 1.29.401.11.
However I am wondering now whether this actually is the latest kernel? I am seeing lot of people using 2.17.401.2 base?!
Is the latter the rom version using the 1.29.401.11 kernel?? ....Like I said, probably stupid but confused nonetheless :laugh:

I think the answer is no.
But you can try ARHD 9.4.0 it use the latest stock kernel building on 2.17 base.
Enjoy it

Thanks will try that one!
The screen flickering is a manufacturing issue that has been discussed heavily on XDA. (See here)
And as too9s said, ARHD is a great custom ROM based on 2.17. However, there are repacked kernels that work well with ARHD in case you wanted to flash a custom kernel.
The one by Faux is very popular: Link
I'm on arhd 9.4 with faux 07vf oc 1.55 uv -75 and it is amazing
Heres a link to all repacked kernels for arhd plenty to choose from

hey guys
Now i know you've probably heard this a million times and i do appologise but i'm not risking ANYTHING when it comes to rooting etc as ill only kick myself if i brick my device. So flame away if you feel like it but i'm simply being cautious.
I've looked through numerous guides on rooting and loading rom's but everyone is different so i just want to get it 100% right. Ill start with my phone and what i'm after when i root.
Phone: HTC One X (Tegra 3)
Unlocked on vodafone
android version 4.1.1
htc sense 4+
I'm after a rom which will get rid of most of the bloatware on my phone and give it good battery life in general but improved performance for games when needed. The best stable rom i've come to the conclusion for this is cyanogenmod 10. Is that alright for what i need?
I'd like to tweak the cpu and gpu abit to help games like nova 3 play decently, i heard the main issue is something to do with the cpu govenor? Whats the best way around this?
Bascially i'd like advice on the most simplest way of rooting my phone and then installing cyanogen mod. Do i need kernels or anything else?
Many thanks for your patience :good:
If you go to an AOSP based ROM, like CM, your GPS won't work and your battery is likely to be less good than on JB Sense ROM.
When HTC release the kernel source for JB, this situation will change.
You willl need a kernel that is non standard because you're on hboot 1.36. If I remember correctly, post 9308 of one of the CM ROMs is useful.
Thanks for the reply!
In that case i'd rather keep GPS ability as i use the sat nav alot. Could i use franco's kernel on the stock rom on my phone and just use that? That'll give me the options to tweak i need without changing roms.
No faux kernel won't work on a JB rom, there are no custom kernels yet for JB ! The custom kernels that are available only work on the older ICS roms.
Custom kernels will be available when HTC releases the source code
You can flash an older ICS rom with custom kernel that's no problem. But then you have no JB
Ahhh this is all making sense now
Fair enough, ill leave it all stock until they release the source code. I have to say, this is pretty damn confusing and i'm no amateur when it comes to tech and flashing hardware
Just want my One x to play games smoothly. Pretty pants on nearly everything i've tried so far (shadow gun MP, GTA 3, Nova 3, Battle bears)
Not sure if any of you guys have used a Baked rom for any of your devices (personally I use it on my Nexus7), but with the recent release of BB8 I saw that they had snuck in an endeavoru version. Will be trying it out for myself I think but just wanted to let you all know as I don't (yet) see a thread in the rom development section.

Ok. Just finished getting everything set up. I repacked neo's latest kernel to use with it as I normally use ICJ and know that his kernels have awesome battery life. Everything is set up and running smoothly, the only issue I've found is the camera force closes when switching to video or panorama, which is not a deal breaker for me as I never use the video anyway. And for some strange reason the OTA updater tells me that a newer version of the rom is available, however it then prompts me to download BB6?!?
Comparing it to ICJ there's a few tweaks missing but LC and the team are constantly adding things to ICJ so this can't really compete on the tweaking front.
I'm now going to fully charge and run with it for a couple of days to see how it goes. I'll report back later.
Cheers ZM
ps - I'm attaching neo's latest kernel (v26) repacked for BB8 in case anyone wants it, just remember to flash the modules after you've flashed the rom.

for camera you could try to replace the gallery.apk inside /system/app with the one from icj. maybe it works and you could let me know.
