[Q] What's your favorite 4.0.4 rom?

Ok dudes!
What is your favorite rom based on 4.0.4?
And why?

ARHD 9.3.2 - Very fast, clean & stable!

Stock
I perceive no significant speed or battery improvements with custom roms and stock is rock solid with none of the glitches I see posted in the threads
Many of them offer extra features but in some instances its at the cost of stability or speed.
I think HTC should be commended for providing a stock experience as good as this. Previously they've left a lot for chefs to improve upon but not this time imo.

ViperX by Team Venom
Rock solid sense rom (can be desensed if desired), endless amount of tweaks and mods you can utilize for personalizing the look of your device, plus the fact OTAs can be pushed directly from Team Venom, straight to your device and the fact you can design your own themes, boot animations, down animations etc etc.
It's a rock solid stock rom, with ways to personalize... perfect to me

Yeah I use Venom rom for nearly 2 months now thanks to the tweaks, tough I keep having network problems,wana try another rom to see if it will be corrected or not

I'm very interested in this topic. I'm still on stock, can't decide which ROM to flash, that is worth breaking my 2 year warranty.
So pls, if others can share their experience here
Talking about performance and battery life, is it worth flashing custom ROM (ARHD, ViperX, or CleanROM, all with sense), compared to stock 4.0.4? Can you notice big difference?
Thanks in advance

I’m on Viper X, the most customizable Sense ROM.

No, In terms of pure performance and battery life, the difference is not worth loosing warranty. The main reason why I switched was because I couldn't stand that dreadful 3 dot menu bar (this was before official 4.0.4 came out). And I also wanted to try out Jellybean (CM10). But now I'm back on Viper (Sense ROM) because CM10 battery life was bad and the camera performance was terrible.

If you dont need customization maybe consider InsertCoin. Also fast and stable

Also stock. Till HTC does updates, nothing else.
Well customized stock on my part. With stuffs, mods, optimizations, custom kernel.
I prefer it that way as to get some ALL IN ONE package where I do not need half of the stuff or where I have to depend on someone else to give me support.
Maybe the most custom I would go is getting deodexed as its easier for the mods. But now kinda happy with the odex as well.
After the support of HTC stops on this phone and I will still have it. CM that will be

Also OP what about posting a poll as well ? options , stock, stock and root and mods, deodexed stock, odexed stock, with root, and the different roms and etc. Shouldn't be so hard to list all possibilities

Android Revolution HD by mike1987 ... Best ROM ever had :good:

Anyone else to share experience, pls?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I'm running ARHD 9.7.0. atm, no problems whatsoever. Its a fast, reliable rom with some great tweaks. Batterylife seems a bit better then stock, but then again that just might be my imagination
Havent tried any other rom yet but I'm curious about MIUI, i have used MIUI on my old Desire for over a year and was very satisfied then.
Any opinions about MIUI on a HOX?

Tried ARHD 9.7 for a week, didn't saw improvements from the stock rom. Neither battery or something else. In fact got issues with some apps and moved to ViperX rom. Good, stable, lots of tweaks, customizations and very important - OTA updates.

I tryed both ARHD and ViperX on faux 10u kernel, and had to say almost no difference in stability and performance(although ARHD seemed to be a bit more fast in HD gaming). But i prefer ViperX only because of the endless amount of tweaks esp. the 3-finger gestures customization and the OTA viper updates.

Well. My favorite Rom is Android Revolution HD. Now I'm using Coredroid to test.

Used to go with ARHD 9.x but couldn't really see any improvements compared to stock.
Now when I feel like using ICS 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1, I go with Ordroid. Definitely rock stable, smooth, and has one of the best battery life I've had (more than I really need).
About 2 days worth of battery (light-medium use such as messaging, whatsapp, browsing on 3g/wifi) with about 2 hrs screen on time. No games though.
Btw, I use stock kernel whenever I go with ICS/Sense. Hope this helps someone out. :good:

Viper or Jellybean?

Until the two come together, which one would you pick for now and why?

I would say viper because it's highly customizable. I have used cm10. It's preety damn fast but you can always install a custom kernel ( faux or nix) to make it buttery smooth.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I used cm10 for a few weeks to test it out, but then realised how much I missed sense's superior camera and sound (with mods of course). Also, sense is what makes the phone unique. Hard choice.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Have to agree with above posts, the Jellybean roms run super smooth and quick, and look nice etc, but the camera is basic.
So if you don't use your camera i would say go with a JB rom, but if you like the features of the Sense camera then stick with Viper for now.

Any sense based rom I quite rely on sense for its camera, better email client, Facebook integration, widgets, and such.
I've tried the jelly bean roms and miui but always come break to sense.
It depends on your usage and such try them both out and find which you prefer to use.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Tried 4.1 for few days, but had to come back to sense. This makes HTC phones unique and there are so many features that lack in CM roms. Also, Viper is so highly custoimzable and smooth you will not regret not having 4.1 at all.

I was in rd miui jelly bean for two days and was great, using stock kernel but I think it needs a custom kernel for better battery.
Viperx is amazing. But Now I m on ordroidx, I dont know tomorrow. Love flashing and modding.

I used Ice Cold Jelly and stick to it since then ^^
I love the stock android feeling since ICS and Jellybean just makes it even better.
I asked myself the same question many times, the pro's for viper being the fact it could be modded to have the least possible sense (which I just find annoying, there is too much of everything...) the battery life and te camera.
But I stay on ICJ, it has great support from both the kernel dev (ncx) and LordClockan which is allways helping. You can't theme Sense suc perfectly back to stock as stock allready is, the AOKP toggles are just awesome for me and having a Nexus 7 I am not having two different panoramas.
Thanks to the ncx kernel it's fast and stable but also with minimal battery drain.
I would tell you to try both, and stick with the one you prefer.
Another point I keep in mind is that I will never again buy from HTC (the S-ON fact and sense of course) So stock is the best way to have the most chances to keep your references... (that's why I searched stock, coming from a Galaxy Nexus).
Good luck !

Said it before, Footballs maximus rom owns. It just works. I used to jump around Ice Cold and allsorts on DHD, always trying to find the perfect rom... i really have nothing to fix on this. Stock kernel too. it just works. Admittedly, some games are VERY slightly juddery, but I have a Nexus 7 too, so I game much less on the One X now. I tried Viper..... Really wasnt for me. Its like the non-bloat version of bloat.....

yes,the same by me,i like to test rom but mydaily rom is the great viper;its fast shure,Viper is so highly custoimzable and smooth you will not regret not having 4.1 at all.maby one day it comes the version from htc with sense4.? and JellyBean,i love sense sinse i have had this touch diamond2,over the touch hd and the wonderful desire.
Its like religion or ähh politic ore somethink i dont know

Jellybean or Renovate or ARHD....simple as that mate...and if you like to customize then go with MIUI

@ edge3uk
Its like the non-bloat version of bloat.....
thats silly,blödsinn,quatsch,man you boring or what?

For me ..Domination ROM is the best..but battery not good as Sense ROMs and other ROMs
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I used CM10 for few weeks but like few before me have mentioned, battery life is not that great and camera is really awful, so now I'm back on Viper X. JB is nice, smoother and quicker, but for me personally that marginal performance difference is not worth sacrificing battery, camera or stability (and then there are few other nifty little features of sense that I like , such as beats audio profiles, FM radio, weather and clock animations etc).

Why do jelly bean !CUSTOM! roms drain battery so fast on the One X?

I just want to know what the problem is here. I cross my fingers and hope that the battery won't deplete as quickly on the official JB rom.
I've had my fair share of test of various jelly bean roms, now i did not only return back to ARHD or Maximus or whatever other rom because of speed differences in particular, but also because sense's widgets can be so useful, and in my opinion are. Saves a lot of time searching and downloading widgets off the play store
Just thought i would ask if there are any actual or maybe even obvious reasons that someone can explain as to why the JB roms are draining battery quite fast that i am not aware of?
The only things i can think of are
1..Deep sleep? although, on second thought it appears to be working perfectly
2. Now the only thing that comes to mind is could it possibly be the power saver core not being used well, if at all?
I've got the feeling there's more to this.. anyone care to shed some light?

Not sure, but it would be nice to have a stock JB ROM that had great battery life. I'm with ya on this one.

I do not own a One X but I also have the same trouble with battery drain on JB ROMs for my Sprint Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch.
It has to be something to do with the OS itself not being fully optimized for the device it's being built for. I would imagine once the manufacturer releases official JB it will be optimized and not drain the battery so fast.

I always assumed it was because the stock Sense kernel always had the latest update from HTC, with JB kernels being custom and based on older source. But since 2.17 kernel source has been released, custom kernels should have "caught up".
Maybe sense and sense apps are written specifically to take advantage of the low power core, but I highly doubt it.

Would be cool if a dev comes in and gives us a lecture
Either way, i'll have a look at this thread tomorrow, good night!

Yeah battery life sucks on aosp based roms. It was the reason why I moved back to Venom rom after 2 months of struggle with cm9 and cm10. And it was so refreshing since the sense 4.1 feels much faster than 4.0. Anyway I hope the aosp based roms will get there and even improve the overall user experience over sense.

I consistently get more than 4hrs screen on time with CM10 and NCX kernel, I'm more than happy with that.

Flash latest ICJ with its stock kernel (neo's v7,5) and feel the powa. Near-sense battery life for me (0,5hr screen on time difference)

Best battery life AOSP ROM?

Anyone know which is the best on battery? I've tried Slim, CM10, and ICJ. I'll go as far as trying an ICS AOSP, but does anyone have any good recommendations? Is it possible that I could completely De-Sense a ROM? Like take a sense rom but have the AOSP notification drawer and settings and say Nova Launcher?

i think battery is more related to the kernel than the rom per se. That being said, I'd suggest ICJ since it uses NCX kernel by default and IMO that is the best kernel for battery life.

Completely agree! NCX kernels giving better battery life than other ones.

ICJ is probably the best One X ROM in terms of features, but for me it heats up way to quickly to the point where I can't use the ROM as battery drain is so bad.

99% of the time it's a rogue app doing that to the phone.
can you check in better battery stats which app is keeping the phone awake or if the phone is achieving deepsleep.
maybe one of the apps isn't playing nice with the phone and keeping it awake or draining it a lot.
if you're patient you can wait a while and try Owain's domination, which is my favorite aosp rom, though he hasn't been able to update it for a while,
but from what i've read, the next update should be amazingly awesome!!!
that + ncx's kernel should provide a good mix of battery life and features.

CM10 wins with zero idle drain over a few hours.
Sent from my OneX

I'm using CM10 nightlies. With the stock kernel I was lucky to get 10 hours standby with average use or 1 hour screen, and the phone was getting very hot. I changed to the NCX kernel and now I'm getting 24 hours standby with average use or up to 4 hours screen time.

I am surprised no one mention CM10 SE ver 2. I am on it and this is the only AOSP ROM that I managed to convince myself to stay on. And I have tried the rest. My phone stays cool on it, I have not met with any bugs with my usual usage of games, xda, browsing, music, camera, phone.. and it is smooth. Feature-wise, it is not as rich as ICJ or AOSP but I never needed so many features and more features just add to the probability of more bugs.
Try out CM10 SE by Seadersn!

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I'm a noob and only tried 2 custom ROMs, but CM10 nightlies were draining my battery too quick so i tried CM10 SE and have been with it for a few versions now. Find the battery great on it.

Once the AOSP ROMs work on new HBOOT ill unlock again, but for now I'm content with sense 4+ and nova launcher.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I've been using CM10 SE since yesterday and the battery has been fantastic. I'm on HBoot 1.31 so no GPS but everything else works perfectly. I went to bed last night with the battery on 87% and woke up this morning to find that it was still on 87%

Everyone has his own preference for ROMs. There's no point in comparing them with scales such as "speed", "battery life" or "smoothness".
You have to try them on your own and find out yourself.

Seriously considering AOKP or CM - Stable enough?

Hey Guys,
I am considering switching to ICJ or CM for regular daily stable use, I'm not frequent flasher, as in once I flash I expect to run on it for weeks. I noticed that the usual bugs shown for CM and ICJ seem to have stayed pretty much the same, like MHL output, incall volumne and grey images on camera for CM.
This puts me at a little doubt if it is suitable for daily use and how is it for gaming as I do game a lot on travel journeys.
Unless I'm mistaken, ICJ seems to indicate less bugs compared to CM? So yeah I am seriously considering so please let me know what you guys think in terms of daily use + gaming.
Is battery life also an issue? Last I heard CM and ICJ AOKP had battery drain issues?

I was sorta like in the same position as you.
My first flash was ViperX in combination with a AOSP Jellybean theme. And I have been using that for a long time because of the stories of stability about aosp/aokp.
Only recently (2/3weeks) I started using IceColdJelly because of the then base 3.18 WiFi bug on sense.
I couldn't have been more happier with my OneX to be honest, its like a complete upgrade looks(imo) & performance wise
I haven't really noticed any difference with the battery so far between ICJ or ViperX or stock but im a pretty generic user, just whatsapping/messaging and some youtube/internet.
So far I havent seen any bugs so iam really pleased to have switched to ICJ and there arent really any big downsides to it.
Never tried CM so I cant tell you anything about it.

ok sounds promising, have you fired up any games? I use my phones for a lot things message, emails, games, music etc
Just worried about graphics driver issues or any thing like that.

Im using ice cold and I played games on it street fighter 4, modern combat 4 all work really well, I play a lot of games so yes its a really good rom man go for it, I just moved yesterday to it

I am with the same dilemma.
And about camera quality? Dialer and contacs?
That's what I think sense has some advantages.
I am considering Sense rom + rom cleaner + nova launcher.

Sense ROM can make use of the hox image chip where as aosp/aokp can't hence the lower image quality.
I've been using CyanogenMod on my phone for a few days now and the camera isn't much worse but you definitely see it when you use the flash.
I'm currently using MX camera just for the cool effects I have a DSLR camera so I don't use my phone for photographs only a quick snap for Facebook or something.
They rest how ever is totally bug free
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

@ op you should test for yourself and all that depends on what you need from your device as example when I need mhl I revert to sense and when I really need my camera I do it also but with the recent changes in the camera in cm and Aokp the camera now is way better very near to sense... So aging you should decide for yourself...

The battery on ICJ for me is better than any sense rom I've ever used
Vert suitable for daily use
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Yep this is a dilemma, I use my camera phone quite a lot and definitely appreciate the extra quality but then again I recently started to use CameraZoom so does that mean it is not utilizing the HOX image chip better? Or is this more low level that any camera app will benefit as long as it is a sense rom?
I'll make a decision after more consideration and reading up on. Additional opinions and comments appreciated.

Try CarbonRom, I've tried CM & ICJ not that there was anything wrong with them but with Carbon you get the best of both customization wise.
Battery life is good, gets me through the day with atleast 4h screen on. And I use it pretty heavily mainly Whatsapp, Twitter, IG, G+ and Flipboard.
Not any noticeable issues so far, no camera problems, I'm not a heavy gamer so cant tell you much there.
.

I tested a few sense roms and CM/AOSP roms. So far I liked the CM based roms the most, I run CM10.1 atm since most of the ported roms don't have the full language support (mixed languages in menus english and german in my case).
