Hi, I recently bought my HTC One X as an early upgrade from my iphone and I absolutely love it. I bought the phone out right unlocked and put my 3 contract sim in it and have been patiently waiting for them to send out the jellybean update but its taking so long. I like my phone the way it is but there are also a lot of features of 4+ that I think would improve it greatly. I've been looking at the "Android Revolution HD 13.0" rom and am seriously considering installing but I'm still not sure. I like having official software on my phone (I've had bad experiences with custom roms in the past) but this rom claims to simply be a tweaked version of the official. Does anyone who has this rom installed recommend going for it? I just can't decide!

Thanks for the guide! I'm really thinking of doing it now. All I really want to know though is does this rom do everything that the official one I will receive (eventually) from my network does?
This ROM is just the tweaked version of official ROM which is way better than what you'll be getting from your network .

Hello all,
I like many others, I have installed the new GB ROM from the RUU supplied by HTC and it is "OK". However, i would like something else.
I have seen many guide to install ROMS and it seems more or less clear.
My problem, and maybe the problem for other noobs if the fact that there are so many ROMs out there. It is difficult to know which one to take.
For example, I am looking for plain old stock android 2.3 for the desire. No sense, no extra HTC apps. Just what google would have on the nexus 1. But, I cant figure out which ROM fits that.
Any ideas?
What would be great is sticky which lists the ROMs and their main features for all us noobs. Unless there is one already and I didnt see it
Get Oxygen Rom mate its nice and basic , if u want to go too basic get DevNull
But for starters i think u shud go with oxygen
Pm me if u want to discuss any other details

Well, if you installed official Gingerbread 3.14.405.1 RUU, you can't get root (yet). No root means that you can't install custom rom.

watch the video tutorial too - but it sounds like you want an AOSP rom
Yup, you definitely wanna try Oxygen + it was recently updated to Android 2.3.5.
It's sense free, all bloatware removed, very fast & minimalistic.
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=149 (it wasn't updated on XDA yet, but you can download it from there)
CyanogenMod7 will also fit you.
Should have read into what you were doing before you updated. You can't root now, which means no custom ROMs for you. HTC updated HBOOT so no more rooting for the time being. You're stuck with it till someone cracks it. Unlucky dude.
My recommendation:
Sense (2.1+3.0) : InsertCoin 1.0.9
AOSP: Oxygen
no MIUI from me...sorry..
Thanks for all the replies. I am pretty sure it is only a matter of days or weeks at most until I can root. I recall the same situation last update.
It sounds like oxygen is the way to go. Once the root is available I will give it a shot. Thanks.
Hi.
I have an unlocked HTC One X bought from Amazon, shipped from Europe (Vodafone one)
For almost all November I have waited for the Jelly Bean OTA but it seems that it won´t come to my phone so I just rooted it and wiped everything in order to explore the Custom ROM´s option.
On one hand there is the CyanoGenMod which appears to be not a stable ROM.
On the other I see there is one form ParanoidAndroid (pa_evita-2.54...)
I need the forum´s help in order to find out which one is the best option right now and if this is still better than wait for the Vodafone JellyBean roll out.
Thanks!
buddy.. no one here will ever give you an answer if you ask" what is the best??" coz best is really a relative word....
the link below has all the roms listed, please go through them, see and pick a few on what you like.
after that you can google to see the reviews for those roms.
hope it helps...

Our ROMs don't have evita in their name.... make sure you flash for the correct device
Since you want JB-ROM that badly , with your current CID you won't be able to update your hboot to later versions to be able to support JB-ROMs so the choices you can choose are AOSP / AOKP / MIUI . Since you have problems with CyanogenMod ( AOSP ) and MIUI is not a good choice either . Go for IceColdJelly ( AOKP )

newbie here to all this..
last week I finally rooted my DHD to turn s-on to s-off and after days of reading post after post I finally got it done, anyway whilst doing this it has now downgraded my phone software to an older version. 2.3.3 sense 2.1
can someone point me in the right direction to where I can download the stock updated rom for this phone or is there a custom rom that's even better than the stock one that I could use.? ive been looking in the Android Development section but there's way too many to go through & I don't want anything to fancy just stock HTC looking will do just great.. plus I don't want to run the risk of bricking the phone as im very new to this sort of thing so can do without trying different roms out as I was happy with the HTC look of the phone... and is it easy to upgrade as its taken me near on a week of reading to find the b*lls to root it.. LOL

Best thing if you want Stock ROM is Android Revolution HD, BEST stock based ROM (Sense 3.0, 2.3.5 Gingerbread)
Although you might like to experiment with other Android versions, like AOSP (exactly as Google intended it), AOKP (slightly modified), CyanogenMod (Different thing altogether) or even MIUI (if you like the iPhone's simplicity)

There is no N rom for this phone with battery life or stability even close to any stock KK or LP rom. All ROMs after LP are experimental and buggy to some degree. Also, since there is no official stock rom after LP, anything else would require a computer to unlock bl.
I would suggest flashing the MX ROM as far as I know this is the LP with best battery life now. It can be installed on locked bootloader and is as stable as stock LP.

Thanks for ur suggestion. Yes i know mx rom. Been reading the forum for a litle while. Worth to try
And not to forget that there are no security patches for stock LP since.... a long time. That is why a lot are using new roms although the battery life is not so great in comparison to stock roms.
Guys forget about MX rom! There is new ROM by munjeni out there. It is based on Lineage OS 14.1. It has decent battery life, good camera (almost like on stock), great stability, all security patches and is smooth like butter.

Im straight to it now
Thanks mate
yes, that rom from munjeni also looks the best for me. When I have time I will upgrade fom to Jaguar ROM to that one.
If you have stock KITKAT you CAN'T flash 5.1 or newer roms via recovery.
This is because from android L the partition scheme is changed, so you MUST use flashtool to flash first the stock LP ROM.
If you flash a LP rom via dual recovery in kitkat you'll brick your phone!
And I'm surprised that no one said it to you.
Once you flashed stock LP, rooted, installed REAL RECOVERY and unlocked bootloader, you can install any custom ROM.
If you don't unlock your bootloader you can flash ONLY STOCK BASED rom.
Cheers, and good luck. (I hope you didn't brick you phone)
i recently bought m8 . bootloader is unlocked s-off twrp recovery installed and flashed viper rom . i spend many hours but cant find 7.0 rom for m8 i only found 300mbs file 350mbs like this. i need a full 7.0 rom can anyone help me . i will be thankful to you

Could have saved yourself a lot of time just by reading and understanding the ROM descriptions.
There is no Nougat ROM with Sense for this phone, probably never will be any.
