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.

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.

First of all, I absolutely LOVE ICS. I'm even getting a nexus to have AOSP ICS. It's great, but not on this phone. I ran it for 4 days and I am glad I did, but no more. I just want to explain why.
First of all: the camera. While everything but recording WORKS, it does not WORK WELL. The autofocus is awful, and I struggle to take a picture I would take in a second with skyraider. The pictures also are often very grainy. Now, as of AOKP, camcorder works, and flash works on Angel Camera. Everything about the camera works.
Second: Apps. I'm not talking about the ICS apps. They are incredible. On our phone though, many apps I love, like temple run , as well as others crash or just don't work. Some apps just have lots of FC's.All apps except for temple run that I use have no issues now.
Third: Battery life (depends on ROM). On AOKP, the battery life is absolutely abysmal. However, it is wonderful on the Nexus, which is why it is strange to me. I have many media wakelocks, and other issues. Getting amazing battery life with build 31 of AOKP with aero's v9 kernel.
Fourth: Stability. Just today, my gallery decided to stop working. Before, I have had random lockups, a mess of FC's and many other things. For me, it's very important to have whatever feature I need, when I need it. Not in 5 minutes, not in a hour. If I need to take a picture, I need to take one. If I need to check a website, the browser had better not start force closing. If I need to download an app, the Play Store had better not crash 5 times. Twice today, my phone decided to just have a black screen when getting a phone call, and I couldn't answer them. I have not had any issues with ICS stability on this build or the last couple of aero's.
Note though, that I am not saying that YOU shouldn't run ICS. In fact, if you can, DO IT! Just I can't, sadly. The developers do an absolutely incredible job porting this stuff no thanks to HTC. I really want to thank them for that. I'll just be sticking with GB unless there's a leak for us. I just wanted to write this up, not sure why. Oh, well.
Now, ICS is amazing, and there is no reason anyone shouldn't run it, unless you are stuck on sense!
Party on Wayne!
I'm excited for ics, but until we get a good leak I don't see me using it for a while

Are you getting a nexus one(good battery), nexus s(also good battery, or a galaxy nexus( the battery is so bad it can't keep up with charge). Just wondering, I'd go for the nexus s if I didn't have a upgrade and I needed a new phone.
If I had an upgrade I'd get the rezound. I like soft keys(actually I don't like the red soft keys on the rezound, I like the ones on the dinc 2 better), even though are soft keys are a part of the touch screen. It's the fastest phone on the market, and it can take amazing pics. Not to mention the battery is good and development is plentiful. And its getting ics soon......

Huh, so the Galaxy Nexus has horrible battery. Let's see what an extended battery, franco kernel, and AOKP have to say about that. Oh, yeah, with stock battery and AOKP/franco, you get 3 hrs screen on time. Woops. And the Rezound is my least fav phone out of the "big 3". Now that has terrible battery life. I have a friend, you know the one that gave all the ICS leaks to the Rezound users? Yeah, him. He tried a Nexus and said the battery was amazing compared to his Rezound. Also, the Rezound is really thick, overheats, and has Sense 3.5/.6. Ugh.

Agreed, running the same here, getting a solid 2+ days battery life with light/moderate usage. I don't take many pics so not too worried about the camera. Music FC's on me every now and again, but I haven't had a single hiccup or reboot otherwise.
I do wonder if it's possible (perhaps in an upcoming build) to lock the messaging app & launcher in memory, as sometimes the messaging app is slow upon initially launching.

Here is a comparison by timlambo. Also by theDroidfanatic here. If you ask my personal opinion, none is ready yet for everyday use by the masses.....
So it's not a good time to have a walk in the CM10 area yet?
I have tried tgascoignes build 25 and tbaldens preview 4 and must say that tbaldens is in my opinion better. Nothing big differences but tbaldens is more smooth for me. specially with apex launcer that rom is like butter. Dont know about tripandravers rom, but what I have read it seems little more buggy.
What about the AOSP then?

The aosp is doing good at the moment, but please remember, that it still has some work to do. It aslo has the game fix in pathed, but not on the kernel side(In short, you can flash any kernel with this and still play nice games like dead trigger). The latest build of the aosp is being uploaded, so you might want to try it out.
In truth, the best build now, might be pure aosp, or the cm10 from tbalden(Going towards the first choice here).

Agree with this. That and there's been four preview updates in three days shows the commitment that tbalden and the team have to getting this running smoothly.
There are a few little jitters here and there (some echoing on calls) but generally the positives of Jelly Bean are well worth a look if you've rooted and are happy alpha testing new software.

I'll call it more closer to beta. It has little to no issues, and all major issues, except echo, are fixed. Definitely a daily driver. Also one of the biggest hox people, hamdir, said it is also stable enough for a daily driver. I recommend to go and read some in the general thread, the massive hox info.

Been using tbaldens preview 4 since yesterday and only issue I got with rom is quite poor battery life. Device sleeps nicely, but when you actually use it for something like twitter or facebook it drains battery very fast. Also slight call echo is still to be fixed. but besides these I can recommend this rom as daily driver also.

With viperx I have very nice results and 0 compression, meaning each photo is about 5mb!
Too bad sense 4 dev is ''freezed'', they are pushing us into CM10
Did you find some 720p themes? Specially with transparent statusbar...
Installed trips CMX yesterday evening. Have four reboots and couple of fc`s so far, performance is quite good thou. On toms or tbaldens rom got no reboots or fc`s at all. For me trips rom is most unstable.
After testing all of the three JB`s I still say that tbaldens one is for me. Best performance and stability. Tom`s is good too in terms of stability, but performance is worse than others. If you search JB rom to start with I would recommend tbaldens one hands down.
I have been searching the web for the hands down best rom for htc one x concerning battery life. It really does not matter what the pros/cons are with the rom, all that matters is that the battery life is the best. So what rom & kernel should i go for?
My research have shown that the clean rom is probably the best for battery life, but i have the INTERNATIONAL version, not the at&t.:silly:
I've seen many people achieving good battery times with sense ROMs such as ARHD. I personally use IceColdJelly by LordClockan with n3o kernel, have undervolted by 125mv and I'm quiet happy. Yesterday I achieved 18h of total up time, of which 5 hours screen on time, brightness less than 20%, 3g always on, manual sync.

Just look around forum, there are a lot of noob friendly guides. Basically yes, you flash boot.img in fastboot, then flash modules(zip file in which you find boot.img) in recovery. Sometimes you need to repack kernel for it to work. http://nibble.cc/repack

SURE. Please check the replies and this sentence "Proudly presenting you the most popular ROM for HTC One X..." For me the best rom ever made :good: link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
I've tried a few. I'm using ViperX 2.1.0 at the moment which is the ROM I am sticking with.
But I'd say the best for battery was ARHD.
I try many roms and all have about the same battery live,
it all depends how you use the device.
Try Renovate..best ever
I've tried several roms and kernels, and I absolutely swear by football's maximus roms. The current one with its stock kernel is the most perfect hox experience I've had so far. Currently on 68% battery after a full day, listened to some music, done facebook and whatnot, I have had data off for big chunks of the day, tho that's only because I'm in a weird signal area. On WiFi I leave it on and it seems to idle indefinitely.
try viperx
Actually try them all. Battery use is dependent on personal preference. Some could get good battery on one rom while others can not 'cause the use pattern is different and each rom reacts different on that pattern.
One Maximus and ARHD are probably going to be the right direction.
The best way is to try some different roms and i've experienced that the sense-roms have better battery-life than the jelly-ones
I'm pretty interested in this thread. :good:
I'm a big believer, that regardless of spec an functionality, if your battery sucks, its game over whatever the device.
I've tried:
Stock 4.0 Sense - Rubbish battery, and launcher IMHO
CM10 Beta - I love JB, but could see the battery trickle away as I held it. No way its a daily ROM
ARHD, 4.1 no-sense, GO Launcher - Better, but still caught out frequently. Plus, not all of Sense is removed regardless of the 'No-Sense' install
I'd be interested to know if Paranoid Android (most complete JB rom by the looks) returns decent battery? I missed the opportunity to download the ICS version.
Its a shame that the battery is the achilles heel in this device....
Stock. Had nothing but poor battery since I rooted and flashed a custom rom and I've tried a few different kernels and roms.

To me, sense now has amazing battery life, can't say it did have not to long ago. The latest sense based roms include superb battery life even with moderate to full use my battery holds out even past the end of the day. However, I can't comment on how this compares with aosp and aokp roms, I never really stray from sense you see, not now it's improved dramatically both in performance and battery life
To me, sense roms, down to personal preferences but like I said, I haven't tried any other roms other than sense

Why don't you try Viper X (sense ROM), you can remove most sense UI bits and make it look very close to AOSP without compromising on battery life or other sense features (i.e: Camera, FM Radio)
Love the look of the stock JB ROMs, but the battery life just doesn't do it for me. I will suffer with Sense's look until more efficient ROMs are available.

I used have a GNex that ran on Minco v4 (Stolen, hope the thief rots in hell and the phone blows up in his hand to send him there), Now I have a OneX with ViperX 2.2.1 and Faux Kernel. The battery life is significantly better. I have tried JB roms in my HOX but all of them were a bit buggy and had very poor battery life. You should definitely go for a sense rom with faux kernel.

Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705334. I use ViperX and it offered me to remove sense when it updated to 2.1. But that messed up the phone completely and I had to restore from a nandroid backup. But this rom seems to have a non-sense version and people don't seem to be complaining much. Maybe worth a try

Love the look of the stock JB ROMs, but the battery life just doesn't do it for me. I will suffer with Sense's look until more efficient ROMs are available.

how much screen time are you getting using sense ROMs. and mainly what do you use it on. because I'm pretty satisfied with my battery life on JB ROM.

I was losing about 5% every 10 minutes with the screen on the lowest setting with any current Jelly Bean ROM.
I get 4+ hours on screen time at 50% brightness with OrDroid's SENSE based ROM.
I text a lot, words with friends, draw something, news apps, music...
I'm doing 4h ish too with paranoid android. mostly IMs twitter instagram. ebook reading and sometimes draw something. browsing if necessary.

Wow, 4hrs is a lot! i barely get 2.5 hours + 45mins talk time on Ordroid with 3g usage at 3 hours and wifi during work. Came to this thread to see if any JB improvements had been made recently.
You guys on the stock Ordroid kernel? Underclocked?
I would use a good custom kernel. I'm currently using slim bean with ncx kernel and I get 4.5 hours of screen time.

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)
