You will learn a lot reading the forum A lot of threads have sticky topics, that answer most of the questions you might get, pretty well.
One thing is certain - you will love the phone! The only downside for me is the batterylife, then again, most smartphones don't have great battery life.

Welcome!
Basically, the two different types of Rome are sense based (stock Rom with different modifications) and the aosp roms (built from sources, like cyanogen or aokp).you will find first type in android development forum, the aosp roms and kernels in the original development forum.
While sense roms are much better on things, that are connected to hardware, like battery life, sound quality, camera quality, the aosp roms are smoother (although with jelly bean sense roms, this is arguable) and deliver stock android exporience like nexus.
Now, the siuation with sense roms: since jb was leaked, the main ones are based on the leaks, but you can only flash them with newest hboot (bootlader). And this one you can only flash having the right cid (your location number, the European unlocked and Taiwanese are the only right ones for new hboot)

Firstly , welcome to the One X forum of xda !
I'll start from the basics as you asked .
If you want to flash custom ROMs , you'll have to unlock bootloader , root and flash custom recovery ( CWM or TWRP ) . Due to unknown reasons , HTC is not giving us One X users S-Off bootloader which unlocks a lot of features . But also , it's not much of a restriction if you're used to it . You can follow these 2 noob-proof videos if you want to root your phone .
Please read the quote I'm going to write below as it clarifies the reply of Zlotin's a lot .

There are four types of different ROMs which are Sense-based ( obviously you know what it is already ) , AOSP ( Android Open Source Project ) this ROM will give you the complete experience of android , AOKP ( Android Open Kang Project ) this ROM is much likely same as AOSP but it has more custom features and lastly the MIUI ( Mobile Internet/Mission Impossible User Interface ) this ROM is completely by itself , it gives you a ... kinda iOS UI and other custom features of its own . You can find all these ROMs in both android development and original android development forums . The different between these both forums is that Original means just that...originally built not just themed or apps changed or a few add-ons or tweaks. So there would be the original AOKP release, the official CM releases, original MIUI release, first and only first deodexed stock ROM, and kernels with full source link posted. Anything else is regular developement. The Original Development is to give added recognition to full real developers putting together actual code, not winzipping things together. Now the JB-Sense ROMs are final-versions which are not leaks as Zlotin said . But to flash JB-Sense ROMs , you need to have updated hboot version which is restricted by CIDs . Currently , only Taiwan have the officially released hboot as they have received they JB through OTA . The European ones are leaks not official but still usable .

Aha! New here too and I was wondering about that, thought it was AOSP vs sense then saw a sense version in there .. then I thought its just because theres so much development one forum isnt enough! -which is true too i guess. Anyway its amazing to see so much happening here after the sad story of official support which hurt development for my Atrix so much.

thank you very much guys you've been very helpful and nice i'm glad to join this community, and if ill have further question ill ask

welcome, sorry to be such a bastard but this is not the right section

[Q] what is the difference android development and original android development?

Hi,
What is the difference android development and original android development?
Which should I choose?

Android development contains roms and kernels based on touchwiz. They are generally made by editing stock rom.
Original development contains roms and other stuff made from source code. Where one has to make everything from the source.

original android development = awesome kernels and roms
android development = customized + more awesome roms

[Q] Development Differences?

Hello everyone,
I've just bought an HTC One X and I'm ready to root it and put a new custom rom but I've noticed that there are two section for the development of this phone: One X Original Android Development and One X Android Development
Could someone explain me the difference between the two so I know which one is the section I should look at?
Thanks,
Davide

Android development contains most Sense ROMs. Everything close to stock will be there.
Original development contains AOSP ROMs, and also Sense ROM(s) which are considered "extraordinary development".
See the stickies of both sections for more info.

Thank you

Quick question

Hi All
Newish owner here
I have searched but cant find a good answer
Why is there a development forum and an original development forum?
Both seem to contain current roms etc
Stu

Android development has ROMs and other software that are based on existing ones e.g. original HTC firmware. You find most Sense ROMs on this section.
Original Android development contains ROMs, kernels, etc that are built from source, not based on stock HTC ROM. You could say Original Dev section only has AOSP-based ROMs but there are some exceptions like ViperX ROM, which is considered "extraordinary development"

Multiple Android Development threads?

I have done a little searching and cannot find an answer. Why in some device forums are there a "[DEVICE NAME] Android development" and "[DEVICE NAME] Original Android Development" sub-forums? I don't get the different between the two. Can anyone shed some light?

"Original" in this sense are only ROMs that are compiled from source, so AOSP, AOKP, CM Versions. Additionally SOME Sense-Roms may be inducted here, if they include truly extraordinary development. This decision is to be made by moderators.

This is what the sticky in some of the HTC device forums say. Original, meaning, it can't be based on some one else's ROM. So , ports , themed ROMs, tweaked ROMs, modified stock ROMs, etc are some of the stuff that are NOT included in original android development. Some kernels which are based on some other kernel source which was developed and have no or less significant unique features are also NOT original android development.
Hope this clears some part of it for you.

So the ORIGINAL "tag" just means that all of the development work in the thread is COMPLETELY original correct?
So would this mean the official releases of ROMs like CM, Paranoid Android, etc, would be in the original thread? Or just the regular thread?
Also, why are some root methods in the original, and some in the regular thread?
Thanks!

Official ROMs will be in original android development , as it would mean it would have been built by a maintainer.. i.e. he may have contributed to the actual ROM source code.. also some unofficial builds of ROMs which are extraordinary may be included in it. I can't exactly explain why some root methods or some ROMs are in original development .. it is on the discretion of the moderators who manage the particular forums.. There's no particular superiority of a ROM being and a ROM not being in original. I just am informing you about what it is supposed to be.. there maybe exceptions depending upon the various moderators. Also , I must mention , you should not judge a ROM by its position in the forum. Judge them on how you like them and the amount of effort put in it by the various developers of the ROM.. Hope that clears your doubt.

Nah I don't judge ROMs by their position. All of the phones I've had only had one Android Development forum. Lol.
