hi guys,
after six months of owning my wonderful one x i have decided to unlock it's bootloader and tweaking it to my hearts desire! However i have a few questions i would like to ask just before i dive in.
1. Is there any rom that currently supports usb OTG?(preferably cm10 official nightly).
2. Can someone explain the relevance of the hboot version to the rom i'm flashing and, if needed how do you update the hboot after an unlock?
3.How is cm 10 running on our hox is there any significant issues?
4. I'm currently on o2 UK is it possible to install a jb rom on my device?
And finally is there anything else i have to know before unlocking?
Regards.

1. Any JB-Sense ROM supports USB OTG
2. Download the firmware.zip for your CID and flash it in fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
3. Just a few minor and hardly notice issues
4. No , as you don't have the hboot version for JB-ROMs .
It might void your warranty although you can relock the bootloader .
What about the non sense roms do they need the new h-boot?

If it's AOSP / AOKP then no .
Hi Experts.
I recently got a HTC One X, it is the UK Orange version, and i live and use it in India.
android ver - 4.04
sense - 4.1
softwre no - 2.17.61.3
htc sdk api - 4.23
kernel - 2.6.39.4
i had installed a custom rom to my Incredible S couple of months back.
and with a lot of courage, i have Rooted my brand new HOX
now.. i really like to know -
1 - which stock like Rom do you experts suggest for my model ( shouldnt be much different from stock, but faster, with mods & without bloatware & Latest)
2 - should i also flash my radio? How? which one?
Any other mods that you suggest for better battery management, faster.
please .. i know that similar questns are asked, but this is more specific.
Post links, and that would suffice
waiting desperately
someone?? anyone?? plz help....
I would recommend the viperX Rom to you from team venom. It's great. Probably the best Rom in the way of tweaks. Download that then do the OTA updates. I also like to recommend the bricked kernel as it has a swipe to wake option and with vipers tweaks you can easily overclock and change frequencies the best ics in my opinion

reading the forums i just learnt tht since i have a quadcore processor, it is an international version, and not AT&T or anythng else.
can someone give me the link to the correct forum, so that i can look, check and install anythng tht i want :laugh: without bricking my phone?

I would agree.. ViperX rom is one of the best sense based ROMs out there. There is loads of customisation options.
Also another great ROM would be AndroidRevolution HD.
AndroidRevolution HD --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
Team Venom ViperX --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1745176
Check out both the links.. and decide which one suits you better!

This is the international forum, flash only stuff from here, there is a AT&T rogers HTC one xl forum that's the dualcore...
So you have the international one x ? Flash from this forum !
Give a try to latest insertcoin rom (13).
Furthermore if u want:
In a fileexplorer (es explorer or solid explorer) go to root folder -system-apps and delete unneeded apps with caution (u need to know what u are doing). If u want i can create a minimized version of it 4 u and upload it... (whithout medialink, htc location, video editor, stock wallpapers, without live wallpapers and all that crap - at least i like it without them). Then u'll get a perfectly sleak rom.
I tried maximus rom, venom, renovate, revolution HD...
Believe me, this one is the smoothest around...
So long story short, let me know if you want my lighter version of insertcoin.

when you carrier will release the JB update then you will be able to flash JB roms, at the moment you can only install ICS roms
ok ... thanks.. so now what i understand is...when Orange releases JB, i still wont get the OTA coz i am rooted, but i will be able to Flash JB Roms then.
as of now i can flash any of the ICS roms from this forum.
any roms? do i need to worry about anythng else if i m installing for ex: a viper or rev HD

Hi,
I got my HTC One V from US Cellular unlocked, flashed Slim and MIUI however found neither of them are usable(just for testing and lack of smooth)
Could you please recommand a version of ROM? I know it has 512mb memory. Does anyone have a ROM based android 2.3 or 3.0? Could it work?
Thanks for any suggestions or replies.
:angel:
By the way, I want to recover to the original rom but it froze at the the start-up HTC logo. Currently, it is working with MIUI V4.3 only.

I don't know of any developer that currently has US Cellular. Development is mostly for Virgin Mobile. And I believe only Curtis Slim Bean had a US Cellular version.

I'm a little late, but with S-ON you'll have to fastboot flash the boot.img......[echo]
Yes, currently I have to plug usb to reboot this cell phone.

There are quite a few due to some great devs.
A couple modified stock roms, and CM11 and CM12 (Lollipop!).
Also a SlimKat rom that seems to have been abandoned as the dev never got it to boot.
so can you get me the modified stock rom link is it will fix disable the write protection problem/
Go to "original android development section" of this forum. You'll find plenty of them there.
However, if you are looking for sense 6 based rom, then better head to the "Android Development Section"
so why i keep loosing root after the devise reboot?

Which ROM are you using?
I bought a used M8 for the price of the M7, it had a locked bootloader, modified 1111111 CID and S-OFF, I updated it manually to MM 6.0 Verizon after installing TWRP
My Questions are
- Can I flash non-Verizon ROMs like an unlocked M8?
- Do you advise unlocking the bootloader as well? Through which means?
- Do you prefer CM14 over Sense 8/7, I love Sense put CM14 looks great! Is S-team/ICE/Lee/Venom ROM more stable than CM14?

The Verizon is known as a "CDMA" version (works on Verizon's CDMA voice network, as well as GSM) versus most other "GSM" versions of the M8.
This means you can install most ROMs meant for the M8, however, you would need to flash the proper kernel to get it working. Or stick to ROMs which specifically support Verizon M8.

Since your intent is to flash custom ROMs, its not a question of whether we advise it or not; you must unlock the bootloader in order to install custom recovery (needed to flash custom ROMs).

CM14 is in alpha. There will be bugs. Can't say firsthand, but another member stated nothing major is broken.
Sense based ROMs take official ROM, and tweak it. Generally speaking, this will be more stable than an alpha ROM like CM14.
