Devices is no problem, it's rom comparison (software) that's not allowed.

It all depends what you want from the device. I would go for the bigger screen and performance

One mini has smaller screen than the one x. 4.3" 720p
Sent from my HTC One X

I would still go for the One X. Mainly because of the better camera, processor and the screen size, boomsound isn't necessary for me right now
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk

I would go for one mini, its a newer phone and just better user expirience using it, and if you are not happy, just sell it and buy one x again with some spare money left, no brainer for me.

Just from the POV of software updates, the One Mini is a much better choice. As we all know the HOX has been abandoned.

But only a small bit. In the future, a new version of android will come out, only for it to be impossible to port it to this phone because of its CPU and the lack of kernel sources because Nvidia ditched it.

It's correct, but in past there are much devices, wich are no longer supported so much after HTC kill official update way. And for Users who love the Sense UI (e. g. me) it is better to go to a new phone from HTC to get updates.
BTW: i think it is better to wait a little bit (a few months) with buying a new HTC Phone. If HTC launched new One M8 phone, the old M7 will be cheaper.

Well it will be the same as sensation until one x kernel source is released by HTC I would imagine. It will prob need a port. I was going to have a try but haven't got the time

Well, since the ASUS Transformer Prime has CM9 nightlies (same Tegra 3 chip), then I can't see this taking long. We just need to keep nagging HTC for kernel sources so camera will be supported.

Sense design & play apps

I'm now on htc one x for a while after gnexus. I like the sense design since my old HTC desire.
A thought came into my mind and I don't know if it is possible: As some apps design doesn't go with with the sense design, I think apps programmer should consider two versions of their apps. One is normal and one is for sense. What do you think?

HTC do release a SDK so apps can be designed to look like sense but most developers don't use it.

And another for touchwiz.
As well as a completely new one for iPhone (objective c), and a completely different one for Windows Phone (.net), and again for BlackBerry (java) and, well, you know what? It's too much work, people don't even want to pay for apps.

You might be correct. But some decent apps that are needed and we pay for could do it I think.
As for touchwiz, I believe it looks like pure android where in sense the design is different. For example, one app I'm using "memories" provided a sense theme.
Anyway, this was a thought that I wish it could happen. And, I'm still alive without it too

I'm saying that the reason why apps aren't also developed specifically with Sense in mind is likely due to the fact that the additional overhead is not worth it.

Do you really think that snapdragon version has better battery life? Almost every phone is not as fast as ppl wants to, ofc its working super fast when you buy it but right after you install apps and games it slows down :/ At least with tegra we have some nice graphics in game and something diffrent then everyone

To be honest, snapdragon 400 and 600 are both more power efficient and dont heat up as much... I can't browse the internet on my HOX for 3 hours, because it'll be empty after 2.. It just sux, and I hope sense 5 will bring some much needed optimizations

ViperX

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Can someone please tell me it isn't true.
Just read it myself, grim news indeed but that's all she wrote I guess. To be fair to rich is there any more he could do with this Rom? He has took it so far and I thank him for that. Time to look for a new device as future updates either official or Dev will dry up
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
True about the Rom and development, it's definitely a beauty. We owe rich and the whole team a big thank you, so thank you
I am also very said as viperx was the very first rom I ever flashed and I think the other roms will never have even near as many features as viperx. :crying:
I just hope maybe other dev will take the project from where Rich left it and provide a few more updates.

Sad moment for hox users, for me best rom, we lost also good kernel devs....this device is dying faster than his older brother Sensation...
Yeah, even the desire had longer support than this. Guess I will wait til the new year and see what comes outs. No point buying the one when they will announce a new flagship early next year

I can't afford it either, but I could get one on contractb as my bro can get me 30% of the bill. I love my one x with viperx just feel left down by official support

HOX isnt lucky at all , once you take a look at its older brother you ca understand what I mean , if you check the HTC Sensation you will find it has much more suport
there you will have a nearly stable KITKAT ROM, not only one 1 kitkat ROM but 3 Kitakat ROM
developers there has been able to write a whole new kernel for Sensation from scratch
Team Venom over there has been able to port Sense5 to Sensation , now my sensation can run 7 different versions of Sense
Our HOX is still young but sadly there isnt much of developer love

It's not because of devs, it's because of tegra, nvidia, htc....tegra is crap for porting, nvidia is bad for drivers, and for htc is hard to relase kernel source code for nearly 4 months....
My other device with is desire hd still got MORE support than my beloved hox(and it's like 4 years old now? :/)... can't believe that the phone "died" in development for only around year and a half activity in that section. Every dev moved out from the phone like it's some kind of epic fail. Maybe it is, dunno anymore... ;(
It's not hard to understand, the phone itself is no epic fail. To me a great phone. The restrictions in hardware make it very hard to port software easy. That's the main reason !
I'll miss viper. I guess its time I go back to good ole stock.
If anyone skilled here can port ViperX+ rom to ONE X, than me and monarx could continue support to ViperX as we would be updating same base, and we would make common rom for both phone's.
Thats just an idea, i have no actual phone to try it my self, even phones are very similar it could be tricky to do it, but no impossible.

No because he clearly said that they have searched for another capable dev that fits the team but without succes. Jan is to busy developing for the one.
The best thing if you want rom support is to sell the hox and by a nexus 4. Just saying

Sense 6

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

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

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.
