[Q] coming from galaxy nexus ... is it worth it? - HTC One X

Hi all,
I'm an HTC fan, I love design and material first of all, I like Sense UI but I also like stock UI and AOSP roms ...
I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus and previously I owned the legendary Nexus One ... I love Nexus line and I really would love a new HTC nexus device ... but it seems we won't see one for a long time ...
Well, I'm searching for an HTC One X and I would like to spend around 400$ (you can find some offer on Amazon) ...
Someone here owned both a Galaxy Nexus and a One X and can give me some opinion? Is it worth to switch from GN to HOX??
How is developer community? Are there fully working 4.2.1 AOSP roms? I looked at developer section and seems quite active ... do you think I will miss ParanodiAndroid ROM or other fantastic ROM (like Xylon) available for the GNexus??
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

thats easy...

right long story short if you decide to make the leap then yeah you have quite a variety of working roms based on AOSP...You have the great ICJ which is based on AOKP and for me the smoothest rom i have tried on my One X and so many customizations to play with and tweaks..You have PA rom as well and many more my friend...Down to you either way you will have a great phone

$350 for a Nexus 4 (if you can get it) can't be beat. Unless you need OTG then I'd go Nexus 4.

I can't get Nexus 4, not available in my country... Anyway I'm not impressed by LG... HTC One X design I think is the best yet and I don't need 2 GB of RAM ...

Hi guys,
After few months I'm still attracted by the One X. I'm trading one on eBay for about 300€ used but in excellent conditions... I'm not impressed at all from new devices neither the Moto x nor HTC one and Galaxy S4 ... I still consider the one x the best in terms of design and materials ... And I still think that 1gb ram is enough for every kind of usage (I'm not a fanatic of mobile games) ...
So I'll be soon member of the HTC one x community that seems again one of the more lively ...

Coming from galaxy Nexus and not looking for aosp right away. I think I'll wait till I get used to HTC sense first.

I've got a Galaxy Nexus and a One X here and I'm really struggling to choose between them. I love stock ICS on the GNex, but the One X's hardware is a noticeable upgrade.
I think The Verge summed it up nicely... basically saying that the One X with stock ICS would be the perfect Android smartphone. But until then, I've got some deciding to do!
Coming soon by trip..

Not really, I'd say the closest thing is the cyanogenmod 9 build that you'll find if you read the posts immediately before yours.

If you don't mind about other brands than samsung i suggest you use HTC Sensation XE. It's nice and have a better specs than ours. It has 1,5 ghz dual core processor and some usb otg if you are a fan of usb otg. Just search it on google about this amazing phone. And yes it is affordable
I choose this phone as a back up for my wonder if something happens to it, and yes it was stolen. So i change to this phone and it is awesome

You can check on sensation thread,arco's on sensation is bruce2728, cm 10 is 99% already perfect,redvilzz and i are using the same phone now and moved from wonder. And from those cm trees,came jellybam,pa,miui,aosp,aokp. Yet,i still having my wonder here,but for better attention, they have it on sensation
Really having hardtime for rooting,s-offing,bootlocker,but when your done,you can do whatever you want from touchrecovery,even flashing stockrom
sent from my LegenDroid ?
True as dolly said, and thanks to his help for guiding me on choosing rom, kernel, rooting and etc. :cheers: to you mate. Anyway It is an awesome phone in the upper hand of wonder. Why i didn't choose s2 because the price is around 2 times expensive CMIIW then the sensation xe. Sensation XE is only around 1,2 / 1,3 times expensive and the specs is 'almost' like s2 only very different from the screen which is not AMOLED
And about the difficulty of rooting there are a lot to do to gain the ability to flash custom rom on this 'baby'
You need to unlock bootloader, root, s-off and etc.
It is all explained in the thread. FYI after what i've been through the S-Offing way is the most difficult one for me, but after you succeeded it's smooth sailing to change all rom.
And also there are many great and good dev there like arco's which is our man . Cheers to arco :beer:
Sensation thread is in xda, just search for htc sensation. The thread is a combined version with the sensation, sensation 4g, and sensation xe, almost all the roms are compatible with every variant of sensation.
For sony yes it is cheap and have more power but almost all low prices phone that i checked didn't have external capabilities and i know yes they are better from our wonder with a little cheaper prize but yeah no external sd card capabilities? That's a pain
Try googling and look on the specs man it will amaze you with the affordable price :thumbup:

And now I'm running on 4.2 JB custom rom from DKOSP, its very fast,faster than 4.1, not 100% perfect, but for my daily use like cam (almost all works (720 VC)),wifi,bluetooth,sound,vibration etc,and it has AOKP also to try

İ want to buy galaxy nexus,nexus4 or galaxy s3.because they are fast and they have nice design,big and good screen and good game and general performance.

wonder is enough and best for me with CM9. i dont play games so why i buy more expensive money.
Actually I want to buy Galaxy Nexus, but.. it's officially wiped out from the list in the Indonesian phonespace.
So I'll have to wait for the next Samsung's newest flagship Android.
as for me, i believe in rumors about new samsung nexus with android 5.0 onboard..
if it becomes not larger than 4.5" and gets nice design (w\o that s***ty pseudo-chrome around) for example comparable with our wonder, i'd make my best to get it)
A nexus of course..
This is a difficult question...
Samsung? Well, they have lately been... 'less friendly' to the dev community, to the point that Team Hacksung has declared that they will end activities on Samsung phones.
HTC? They are openly hostile to the dev community, what with the locked bootloader, unlock limits, etc. etc. etc. Not to mention that their sales are declining fast.
Motorola? Same as HTC. Although, with a new owner (the mighty GOOG himself) situation *may* change.
Nexus? No SD Card slot, 'nuff said.
That leaves only Sony, which XDA Portal itself has commended to be the most dev-friendly brand. They even provide an official bootloader unlocking page, with a helpful link to the proper forum in XDA!
So, my next phone would very likely be a Sony.
Which model? Not sure yet... I'll cross the bridge when it's time to, and not sooner (in other words, we'll see what models are available in the next 6-9 months).

I go for Sony Xperia Z, But i dont like the battery not removable.
If I've much money now maybe I'll go to Xperia Z, but galaxy SIV specs is intriguing, with 1900mhz quadcore or 1600mhz octacore (or whatever its called, its had more than 4 cores) depending on the regions. :eek

Well sorry bro ... The thing about nexus people is that we're hardcore android purists and hate adulterated versions of android. These people never get enough of a faster better aosp. They sell one nexus and buy the next nexus. Looks the same works the same. But it's latest nexus. So dude if your looking for skins You bought the wrong device bro.

I actually agree with the OP.
When I bought this phone I thought there was going to be multiple Ver of android available to us since it's a developer phone. The themes make up for it though.

i prefer HOX but hofs is right it personal prefrence
I got the HTC ONE X+
great phone with great performance, nice camera, and good battery life.
Soon to get android 4.2.2 and Sense 5/5.1: D
I recommend One X+ over One X
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
It is personal preference, i bought a HTC one x a year ago. A month ago swapped it with a Galaxy s3 but came back to one x because of the screen en awessome build quality. Galaxy felt like plastic. Now i know i won't ever buy a Samsung.
If i would recommend you a phone it would be the Nexus 4 or HTC one.

Thinking about downgrading Phones to get AOSP

I currently have a HTC One and am thinking about selling it, pocketing most of the money and getting the Galaxy nexus. I really really want a stable AOSP build and the HTC one simply does not have one yet. What are your guy's opinion on making this switch? and how are the ROMS and Kernals for you guys?

Well since the One is better than the Nexus it would be a easy disicion for me. I think since the play store version is released the builds will come in in no time. I think it is only a matter of time before the aosp custom roms will come. The Galaxy Nexus has awesome kernel and ROM support since it is a Nexus phone. Some developers are leaving for the Nexus 4 but this phone is stille alive and there is plenty of development going on.

Read the rom/kernel Dev threads and see the comments. I suggest you wait, new nexus coming out. Meditate before coming back to the light (aka lite) side of the Force.
