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
Hey Guys,
I have been using cyanogenMod 10 Jb but i kinda feel like i need to change to another better ROM(dont care if JB or ics but NOT GB)... i want a ROM that is stable, Very Fast (i cant live with a lag) and nice... any recomendations ?
Please do not clutter the forums with threads like this.
All of the ROMs are special in it's own way. Try the ones available and stay on the ROM that suits you the best.

Hey guys,
I know this is totally NOOB, but i'm looking for a rom that will let me tether but has the same look and feel as the stock samsung rom. Which one (s) are they and how can i tell?
THanks
I have the samsung sgiii and just loaded the Pacman rom but it looks completely different.

Welcome to the forums
Just a heads up this post belongs in the Q&A forums, it will be moved by a mod but for next time you know
AOSP roms use stock google android, that includes theme and all. these roms are in "original development"
Touchwiz roms (stock samsung) are found in "android development"
Let me suggest s3rx in the android development section to you since you are looking for the stock samsung look
I am tired of trying and flashing and lagging roms ...
what is the best one to stable ? even if it is 2.3 ... i am kinda of sick of switching roms every week
thanks
From the moderator
The Rom that works for you is the best to use everyone is different....... phones are built different places so they are different.........
Try not to flash on New but on what you need or best like..... find that in a rom and put up with the other inequities just like the rest of us do.......... that is the best advice
Best Rom thread cause Flame wars......... So...........
.......... THREAD CLOSED ...........
More than a year ago I installed an ICS custom ROM on my Sister's Arc and now I want to upgrade this phone to a better ROM,
I want to know which rom will be good and stable for this phone?
And how to install the new rom
The bootloader is locked so I guess I will have to unlock it first
I am thinking about installing PA 4.4.4 ROM but I am not sure if it is stable or not
Please let me know if you need any more info
Any help is hugely appreciated .
Thanks in advance
