Which ROM for HTC 1 X

Hello,
Just pre ordered today! Are you going to run a ROM? If so which ROM suits best for this device. Just curious.

none of them, because you have to read the instructions and the rest of the posts in each thread to be sure you want to install it. =]
definitely stay on HTC factory, but check for updates in the settings.

Why don't you stay with the stock ROM and just root it?I have a stock 1.28 on it and root and that is more than enough for me.If you want a custom ROM i recommend the ARHD (Android Revolution HD).

Agreed. It's close to stock but with some great tweaks and optional mods. Not to mention support from a skilled developer.

Im using InsertCoin and loving it. But am considering going to ArHD

HTC 1 X
I believe that using the standard ROM is the way to go, just unlock the bootloader and root your phone and that is all that is needed really. I used to change the Rom on my HD2 all the time and also ran ICS but this phone runs smoother on the stock rom.

leedroid
Leedroid v.4.0 awesome!

Thanks for the feedback!
I think I want to give ARHD a try.

The best ROM is whichever one you want.

Heard that arhd has better battery life with more than 6hr on screen time.

No one is getting 6 hours of on screen time with this phone, I don't think. I see some people get 4 or so, but they can't be doing much with the phones then. Also, that's probably with real low brightness.

what are the chances of it getting bricked?

Yea the one best for me won't be the best for u..
I tried insertcoin, leedroid, JDroid, but didn't convince me..
Right now I'm on VillainRom and to me it's the best..
Keep tryin and eventually u'l find out what works for u..
Don't go by the number of views/ comments..

I get more than 5 hours of on screen time with low brightness.
Won't we get more on screen time on custom Rom as most of the software were tweaked and removed for better performance which will eventually increase battery life.

ICS finally not for the DZ?

first of all, thank you all for your daily hard work on the DZ. I check it every day and it is wonderful what you do. I love my DZ and will stick with it for a longer time. :victory:
but sry guys, if I look at my perfectly working MIUI 2.3.7 and all this threads reg. ICS "tries" there is not one release without problems. I try every release but nothing is like the old OSs. I need it working perfectly for a professional daily use.
Slowly I think the DZ is so old that there is no chance of an ICS working like MIUI or CM7 or so on this phone or do you think there is any chance to get it working perfectly? it is possible to correct the driver problems without any emulation or "ways that it works somehow"?
one of your biggest fans, Felix

Hi, i don't think that HTC will provide an offical update to ICS for the old Vison. But i think that the devs will get the drivers in future ready for daily use. Stop waiting for a final release. The Vision was always an perfect balanced smartphone between speed and user friendly daily driver. I also testet some ICS versions but the best is a good old CM7. Nothing works so perfect. Did you missed anything for daily use? ICS is only a dev gimmic for those people who are bored of a perfect functionally smartphone. Enjoy your DZ and smile on people who whats always new version that are not testet and optimized like CM7.

absolutely right, I thought so, too. :good: it is ok and I love my phone, it is still great. but I love many features from ICS, unfortunately I have to buy a new one sometimes. I want to stick with a hardware keyboard and manufacturers slowly distance from this solution. Problems for daily use? e.g. the cam emulation is simply crappy, pic qual. is compared to the real hardware, the ICS OS emulation slows down after a while, music player apollo is crap in my opinion (CM9) and so much other stuff. but it's ok, I will possibly keep the DZ with working OS for professional use and buy a SG3 or so to play around with ICS.
Thanks for you reply and enjoy your device too!

I have also an One X, but nothing's like the best smartphone ever built --> the HTC DZ. At the and i gave my One X to my Wife and i'm still back to my old DZ. No other smartphone is so unbreakable like the DZ, i really dropped it often on the floor. I'll give you a tipp: use your DZ until it's broken and save your money for future smartphones, there's today nothing to buy like the DZ. The smartphone Coops are so busy with patents that they have no time to built new smartphones like the DZ ;-)

good to know! because sg3 would have been my first choice but I hold it once in my hands and the case is really cheap plastic...ur right, nothing is like the DZ, its fast, good case and I love my keyboard...hopefully the vendors will not drop the idea of a HW keyboard forever! thanks buddy! :laugh:

i'll wait for a new robust smartphone with a hw keyboard.

Same with same symptoms. though I wouldn't say camera is "working" yes you can take pictures and videos, but it will force close if you use either Smiley Effect or Time Lapse, but least you'd already know what will close it.

I think CM9 RC1 runs pretty damn stable. My only gripes are occasional GPS hiccups and less battery life. Also you can't record video but I never really cared about that feature much since the camera sucks anyways.

Sense 4.1

Seriously, we need a port for Sense 4.1. It's already out for HTC One X and with the improved battery life it offers, I would really like to try it. Despite what others have said the battery life I'm getting out of CM10 and CM9 is trash compared to the stock. I know Sense is bloated and a lil laggy but it does a way better job of maintaining battery while idle by turning off radios and sync. I could leave my phone for the entire night while sleeping and it MIGHT drain 1-2%. CM10 drains my battery by 20% in like 2-3 hours on standby. In the battery stats on stock the "awake" bar wouldn't be there when the phone is idle. With CM10, the "awake" bar under battery stats is sporadically there all the time, even when the phone is idle the entire time. Can some dev please help us out? Where is jmz when you need him...

sense port as you said for one x.. what a big joke. htc one x has full sense from stock, not a port. cm10 (build 89) has issues with deep sleep so that's why you loose a lot of battery even when the phone is idle. i suggest using the nightly build of cm10 because the issue is gone in that and the battery will be increased 100% more. if you do want sense and you don't like the freedom of cm9 and cm10 that has to offer, i suggest two things: go back to stock and run a crappy software that lags every time or flash the [ROM-PrimoU|GSM] [01-September] myONEv RC5.0 FX from the development section + a good kernel that gives you the possibility to overclock your cpu like Titanium Kernel build 5.
^ only if you are GSM.

HTC desire x would be a better port

Sorry I should have specified this in my first post. I have a Virgin Mobile USA PrimoC (CDMA) phone. I understand HTC One X's sense 4.1 isn't a port. I'm saying we could use someone porting 4.1 FROM the One X for our phone. jmz did that with his JmzOneV4 ROM with full sense 4 from the One X. I know that there are some really good ROMs/kernels out there for PrimoU phones but for PimoC's all we've got is simonssimons' kernel and although its amazing, for some reason my phone stays in the "awake" state ALL THE TIME. I just reverted to stock this weekend and I'm finally seeing my battery life back to where I liked it. I'm not a dev so I can't say for sure but with CM 10 ROM with JellyBoot4.img kernel and with CM9 with sickkernelv0.6 my phone's battery stats showed that the phone was in the "awake" state pretty much all the time and I barely got up to 10 full hours on my battery.
I don't really want sense but I like how it allocates resources and turns off radios when not needed in order to save battery. I can get almost 2 days with stock. I haven't seen this with any of the custom kernels that have been released since PrimoC's kernel source was released.
What I want is CM10, but with the battery life I've heard so many people boasting about. I have not experienced good battery life with any version of CM or with any custom kernels I've tried so far and for now I'm stuck with sense.
Also I've not heard of any PrimoC'ers with such good battery life as PrimoU'ers have claimed.

That would be amazing! If you can, try to talk to JMZ, like I said I think he ported full sense 4 from the OneX for the OneV on his JmzOneV4 rom. There were some issues there with screen size and display, especialy when using the full sense 4 lock screens, and some other things (like the clock app) but it still worked really well. Like cpie said, the desire x's sense 4.1 might work better with the screen size.

I use paranoid Android and the battery life is incredible. Don't Miss out on custom roms like cm 9, 10, myonev, paranoid. That's the best thing that could happen to your phone.
And for sure your requirements will be met anytime soon. Just give it some time. The devs for must be working on that.

No difference between all the JB Rom's ?

Am I the only one who thinks there are no significant differences between, well, ARHD, InsertCoin, One X Maximus or any JB Sense ROM? I tried almost everyone of them, but didn't see any great differences. Battery life differed a little (not more than an hour) but all in all...the ROM's are very similar to each other. Maybe my eyes are overlooking something

I feel the same. Although ordroid is a little bit better in battery for me. But it can be placebo, too...
As far as final ruu will be released, and the kernel source will be posted, the real differences will show up
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

i think is about battery life, radio sign and thame

With the exception of Renovate and Orio, all of those ROMs are trying to deliver a better stock experience, which means the difference isn't gonna be huge. I recall that my favorite was maXimus because it felt faster than all the other ROMs, no misbehaving whatsoever and it had a great pick of included apps. OrDroid came a second close (it had amazing battery life). There isn't any visible changes but its noticeable with daily usage I guess.

Spot on

Even if guys from venom team will manage to do that brilliant work, j4n did with ics, it won't be so blowing away experience like last ics Rom until kernel source will be given by HTC.
ViperX is pretty much best sense Rom ever on HTC One X, with venom tweaks (how crazy cpu control is....), modding ability, speed and, the last, but not the least, best batter life... That's why it was awarded to be placed in original develoebt forum.
So, as far as it will be released (and if it will be at least 70% of original), we'll have a King.
For now they are all like tween brothers.

Untill the finished (final final final release from htc) no one will put too much effort into the roms atm. Once we all have the jb hboot and there`s a released ruu with no bugs theyll all tap away and do their thing. The most youll get at the mo other than a couple (ren, orio etc) is a custom boot ani and init.d support. Theres no real difference.
Be patient and theyll do good things when the time comes, we have some great devs/teams.

Getting this phone soon

Hey guys ! I belong to HTC explorer , Samsung galaxy s and desire hd forums and I'm planing to get this phone , so I want to know a few things bout it :
How's the stock rom ? I mean on my explorer its laggy and almost unbearable
How's the battery life with continues use of WiFi and a lot of texting and music , that's the only reson I buy a phone though
I didn't had much Time to check that dose HTC one v have sense 4.1 or sense 4 FULL ?
Dose it have 8-10 different types of lockscreens ? (Weather , friend stream , stock etc )
How's the over all smoothness ? Is it worth the money ?
Thanks ,

Is it with the money? That depends. My carrier has dropped the price continually down to $100CDN and then stopped carrying it.
It's a much better phone if you install a custom rom on it. There are other phones that are newer and will likely have a front camera for similar price.
But, saying that, I like mine (custom ROM) just fine

I just got htc one v and it's fine for me. But battery last just for one day in my case - wifi on and a lot of texting. But I like it - it's fine for me and I thkink worth it's money.

The Lockscreen is not customizable. It's not full sense. To get what you want, you would have to root it and install ckpv5's mysense 3.5 rom., which is good.
I mentioned the price because you didn't. If it's more than $100, I would say get another phone. HTC will never upgrade it. They have already said so.

I was expecting the ui to be smooth and fast but Nevermind I really like it's camera and metallic body and I hope stock Rom wouldn't be that bad cause on my explorer with 600 MHz CPU it runs sense 4 pretty good (lags for a while, but a reboot fixes that) and on my desire hd it have 1 GHz CPU and it runs sense for just like stock , full sense 4 . So if DHD can run full sense sooth as hell with 1 GHz CPU , I see no reson for HOV to lag on lite version of sense with the same CPU

You can get different lock screens. All kinds of them for this phone. There are also Full Sense 4/4.1 Roms. Not JB Sense yet though if thats what you meant. Its actually an ok phone. I mainly use mine for gps,music, camera and social. On a good sense ROM battery will be great. On AOSP it will vary and usually not be so good. Good AOSP Roms are best for gaming. The metal case really helps, and its buttoned up pretty good. Put mine through some abuse. Its holding up nice. The stock ROM on mine actually wasn't too bad. Just with stock ROM and a good kernel its usable. But the best results are from a custom rom. Lots of good ones. Still development going on.
All that being said I would actually recommend a One S for what your looking for.
The camera one the One V isn't great. Night shots suck, and at 5mp its pretty low. One S has a great camera and 1080p video.
Battery is pretty small (One S isn't much bigger though)
And the One S is more powerful and smoother.
I've had my One V for about 4 months. Always wished I got a better One S.
One V is a good beginner phone.

Yeah so if you want it, it's a nice small, solid feeling phone, one v is good for that. But, if I were you, I'd root it and put either bandit's beaver ROM on it off one of ckpv5's

Hey thanks to all , I guess I'll be in this forum soon enough about in a 2-3 week's , one s is generally out of my budget :/
