I'm planning to buy a phone, so 'm between this one and Samsung Galaxy S3, my question is, can the HTC One X be rooted? I've heard that latest versions cannot, please confirm this, thanks!
Yes, it can, you can find a guide here and probably a couple others in the same forum.
Even the latest versions? thank a lot!
I do not know about a "latest version". If you're talking about the latest software update, the unlock procedure is provided by HTC themselves, so it does work and it will work on all future updates and (hopefully) devices. However, I might be missing something if it's about a newer version of the device's hardware, so don't take my word for it...
Let's say it's possible in general terms, thanks! BTW, HTC or S3? I need to make a decision tomorrow :S
I have posted in your other topic. Feel free to PM me if you want to continue the discussion

i was sure when i bought this phone that we will not receive official 4.1.1 from htc... you know why? cause they released htc desire x, htc one xl, htc one x+ etc...

HTC Sense 5.0 Confirmed for One X, One S & More☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
i found this
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/02/26/htc-sense-5-0-confirmed-for-one-x-one-s-more/
what do u guys think about it?
and do u guys like the look of sense 5
I'll have to see that, cause we all know from past announcements/confirmations that they not all have seen the light. Just wait and see (till it arrives), no speculations and I don't believe in confirmations.
I like the look of Sense 5, but I prefer it on a HTC One, instead of my One X. I'm not entirely blown away by BlinkFeed, for me the clock and calendar are the most important info to be seen, news and social feeds come after that.

We shall wait and see! I would have thought they would bring us the update
Re: HTC Sense 5.0 Confirmed for One X, One S & More☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
I don't know why they released their flagship for this year with 4.1.not 4.2?
So we hox owners will have to wait for sense 5.0 release after the release of HTC One then wait for the new Android version after they update it also..... Please god give us patience

Lets just hope that wont be our last update, and make us forget about android 5.0 KLP
Re: HTC Sense 5.0 Confirmed for One X, One S & More☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Then we just have to wait for the likes of t mobile and Vodafone to release the update

Well Android 4.2 has more tablet features than phone features. Its not a major update so shouldn't be a big deal.

Well technically yes, but I think it'll be very hard because the resolution of the screens are very different. Porting from Full HD to HD takes lots of work you know

I can foresee HTC releasing a dubbed down Sense 4.5. In my opinion it would not be in their best interest to release full Sense 5 for older generation phones when it's the major unique selling point for the newly released One handset.
If this were the case I would imagine some of the awesome developers within the rom community will port a full version after some time
Hey Guys,
I remember a while back something HTC announced regarding a AOSP or stock like ROM to be released with sources, has anyone heard of anything? I mean do the HTC Dev members know much if this is in the works or scrapped? It sounded very promising.
Never heard of this news before :-/
I know Sony Xperia is supporting AOSP for their devices, but not from HTC.
I think they said they will support the community by releasing the kernel source codes and bootloader unlocking.
There was a post that showed a HTC statement that they are "planning" on making a HTC AOSP version or something along those lines. I'm sure one of the guys here can point it out?

HTC dev FAQ
In November 2012 they told to rls a stock Android 4.2.1 for better support for APP devs i think
And than ...... Nothing like always THX htc
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
They never said this. They said there would be a developer rom. It was just stock sense, removing bloatware.
I think OP is referring to https://support.htc.com/alerts_downloads/en/Updates_on_Android_4.1, where it says that:
What about a development version of Android 4.1?
For our developer community, we plan to make generic development ROMs of Jelly Bean available for both the HTC One X and HTC One S. As soon as the ROMs are ready, they will be posted to our HTCdev site (www.htcdev.com). We strongly recommend customers take the time to understand the limitations of the development software along with the terms and conditions on the site before downloading to their device.

dev roms - maybe souce from htc would be great....so there´s no need for smali edit
I think the most important thing HTC could do now is just give us S-Off
Will u think That there will be a Sense 6 Rom for our One x (or even an official update ) ?
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk
It's a question ?......open it in the Q&A section next time.
No not official.....maybe bits and pieces will be ported if someone is geeky enough to put their time and effort in it. But the complete sense 6 framework will never be ported.
The new apk system for sense 6 ingredients will make pouring parts of sense 6 easier . And to be honest I think porting all sense 6 to HTC sensation will be much easier than porting it to the more powerful HIX

Well, this is the reason why HTC is in the global position where it is. They do not care for their costumers, then we have our way to punish companies by boycotting their products.
If IPhone 4 can still receive updates (7.1 version) after almost 4 years, why our ONE X which are very good phones and powerfull can not receive 4.4 ?

It isn't completely HTC's fault. Nvidia has dropped support for the Tegra3 chipset, which makes it extremely hard for HTC to release and official Android 4.4 update since they don't have the necessary drivers.
However, I don't know how custom rom developers CAN get Android 4.4 running well on the HOX while HTC can't..
But the good part of the new sense is the new apk system . Now zoe, BlinkFeed and home launcher each has it's own apk file available at the play store . So we can expect porting of some sense 6 elements to our device .
And beside I wouldn't get surprised to see in near future HTC sensation to receive a full firmware port of sense 6 and we still stand still with sense 5 on HOX

Yeah right.. if custom Rom developers can make kitkat run smoothly on one x than why can't htc ? They have a bigger development team..

KitKat ROM's available for our phone doesn't have Sense framework. Only AOSP or similar. So that's your answer. If Devs can build sense onto that then fair enough but Sense is closed source I believe so what can we do?!
Its close source that's why developers cant make kitkat Rom for oneX..
I am damn sure if it was open source, xda's great developers would have made sense based kitkat rom for hox
Ok . HTC CAN force nvidia to provide updates to tegra3 chips as Google had managed to get kitkat's kernel from nvidia for it's own variant if tegra3 chip on nexus 7 tablet

no HTC etc can't force them...they can ask if they could provide updates...but nvidia doesn't want that..the tegra 3 in nexus 7 is different to that in hox and is running also a bit better...for example games are running better etc...so hm

I know, but they've proven that KitKat AOSP runs smoothly on our One X. I think if KitKat AOSP can run on our phone, Sense 6 can too..?
But well, it won't happen... At least not as an official update.

It's due to the lack of drivers for our processor. While the other variants of HTC One X that uses a Qualcomm processor can have the new versions of Android and Sense. I believe they are already evaluating the 4.3 ROM for the Evita.
