Okay... now that I have everyone's attention... :)

Here is the deal... in between a series of insane work trips my Mom comes over and says she just bought a new One X, and can I set it up for her.

I am pretty comfortable with this stuff, or at least following directions :), but I am seriously pressed for time.

I started reading last night and think I have a pretty good handle on what and where, but want to confirm I am on the right path...

Phone is currently on 4.0.3 with version 1.85.502.3

I have zero plans to load custom ROMs on this since all my Mom needs is stability, but I want to root so that I can get in TiBu, clean out the bloat, setup a backup schedule and so on.

I have read a couple of comments that the 2.2 software gives better battery life and a few other improvements, so would not mind putting that on.

I have not gotten any OTA update notifications since I turned the phone on.

What is my best path?

Can I simply root the device using these instructions http://briefmobile.com/how-to-root-htc-one-x-att and then install the rooted stock 2.2 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1812459

Sorry for the dummy questions, but I am leaving for another work trip tomorrow AM and was hoping to get this done, although to be perfectly honest it is not as if she wont have a working phone, but if I can do this all up front then I can let her play around with it, customize etc and not have to redo it all when I get back.

THANKS for your help!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dcdivenut:
Right... I don't want to flash custom... stick with stock... I have no time to update customs or to act as tech support when things inevitably go wrong with a custom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thcue:
Believe me man you would want to how much bloat and crap that att throws on the phone. Might as well give her something worth having the rom is very stable and would never have to fix it for her.

Also after you install TWRP for her (the recovery) Make sure to make a nano backup of her stock image then flash with CleanROM and make one of that to. So if she ever has a issue she is just one click away from a new phone.:good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thebobmannh:
I think the problem is that if you're going to root anyway, you've already made it so she can't stay current on the "official" path.

I've found CleanROM to be far more stable than AT&T's PoS.

+1000.

You'll never know it isn't stock sense/att except that all the apps which, if she clicks them she'll get charged additional usage for, are gone.

FWIW, ATT's OTA isn't anything special. My phone was three months old and was still running 1.73. Never succeeded in an OTA update.

So, CleanROM 4.5 was a huge improvement.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ruffdogtechy:
I would say that, if she is not totally interested in Modding, that she should either leave it with all stock ,or switch to CleanROM. I am running CleanROM because I like the stock feel, although I have modded a few things. I also liked the removale of bloatware. I feel that the best place for rooting your One X is on onexroot.com. just make sure you choose the right ROM and root method depending on your model, such as international AT&T, or Rodgers. Hope this helps!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
2.20 breaks root if you go with the stock RUU. So you are going to be unlocking the bootloader and going off the "official" path anyway. Which means you will have to periodically update your mother's phone anyways and she will software warranty.

I would go with one of three options:

1. Root/Unlock and flash CleanROM 4.5 (you will have to update her phone every so often and she loses software warranty)

2. Root, stay with 1.85 and de-bloat (don't really recommended because of multitask issue)

3. Don't root, leave phone stock and stay on the official path (if you don't have the time to maintain your mother's phone go with this)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Actually, if you root &unlock bootloader now, flash a custom recovery, you can manually update the firmware to 2.2x, flash back your stock recovery and relock it you have a fully updated, stock device that you can always go back and unlock if u want to later.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
True that for root on 2.20, you will need to unlock the bootloader anyway, so you may as well go ahead and root, SuperCID and unlock bootloader.

A 4th option would be to flash a stock rooted 2.20, 2.23, or 2.29 ROM (after unlocking the bootloader). Honestly, the 2.2X stock ROMs are quite good, and you won't really need to update the phone much after that; really mostly if you just want to.

Personally, I would suggest either leaving as-is on 1.85, and root and debloat; or unlock the bootloader and flash either a rooted stock 2.2X ROM, or custom ROM that does not divert too much from stock 2.2X (like CleanROM).

Updating to 2.20 the "official" way is just robbing yourself of any other options, until (if and when) a root method is found for 2.20. Personally recommend you stay away from that.

Custom ROMs have a huge variation in their stability. Sure, ROMs which are AOSP have some things broken, and ones based on the leading edge (Jellybean) have issues too, since they are ports, do not fully support our hardware, etc.

But many of the ROMs you will see in Development are based stock ROMs, with bloat removed, performance tweaks, and some features added, without any real drastic changes. CleanROM, King Cobra among others actually run smoother and more stable than stock. Don't knock all custom ROMs, especially since you haven't even tried any on this device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
CleanROM 4.5 is better than stock. It's the best rom I have ever flashed on any device ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Hey guys, I just got my Galaxy Nexus a few weeks ago, and it's supposed to have 1GB of RAM, but in the system properties (and third party apps), it always reports 678MB of total memory. Is this normal? Do others have the same thing? I know about flash and how part is used for other things, but that seems like a pretty significant portion that's missing. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
It's normal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Thanks, that makes me feel better. lol. Any reason why only 2/3 would be usable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
reserved by OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Okay, so the OS is using 1/3 and then there's 2/3 for user apps? That makes sense. I was afraid that the OS was sharing a part of that 678MB 'total'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:
I get 694 but get your point. It may be advising how much is set aside from apps and the O/S takes up the rest. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will provide something more than "It's normal".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chronophase1:
Two posts up. I couldn't remember exactly why it was less than advertised at the moment of the post :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shockem:
I was thinking that the ram is shared with the GPU .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Oooohhh yeah! I totally didn't even think about that. That makes sense, but was that a guess or a solid answer? Can anyone else verify?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ECOTOX:
Ram is reserved for GPU, DSP, baseband, and other things that require the ram to be dedicated to them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yellowdie:
Sweet! I trust people who use lots of acronyms! =D Sounds good to me! I feel a lot better now.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. I've hit all of your Thanks buttons! :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maliceomalice:
Your sarcasm is bad, you should feel bad...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
On phones, manufacturers get away with listing the total amount of memory because it's a fixed amount in 1 location that came change, unlike a computer that has varying video memory and main memory.

I do agree though that it's very shady and misleading though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 80centjack:
I'm having a few general issues with CM9/10, two relating to the alarm and one to battery.

I set two alarms in the night, one for 2:45 and the other for 6. I'm weird, don't ask. But since upgrading to CM, the 2:45 alarm does not go off. Has anyone else had trouble with multiple alarms?

The second trouble I've been having has been that when I go to choose a sound file for my alarm, it finds EVERY file. Every picture... everything. So selecting music is a pain, because it's separated between a million ineligible files. Anyone else seen this?

Lastly, I've attached a screen shot of my battery one night. You can see it dropped from ~80% to 0% in a matter of maybe 1-2 minutes while the screen was off and I was asleep, unfortunately resulting in my alarm for work not going off. Has anyone else seen anything like that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
I would super wipe and start over. I've been running cm9 for a long time now and never experienced what you have. As far as cm10 goes, it's been stable for me, just lacks performance. But no issues like you've mentioned. I would first download cm9 again and flash I fresh. Don't forget to wipe cache after flashing ROM and after the super dark side wipe script.

But I seriously think your battery is shot if it went from 80 percent to 0 over and 2 minute period..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 80centjack:
I've done several super wipes, and the alarm issue has happened with CM9 and CM10... I must have some setting setup in a stupid way. I actually always do a superwipe when flashing a new ROM; I don't want any glitches that I can't isolate.

I thought that it must be my battery too, but it was only one time, and it hasn't done it again, so I'm totally stumped. Also, not sure why that picture didn't work... http://imgur.com/h1vrJ
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
I would restart completely. I mean personally it's very hard to diagnose without the device in my hand. But what I usually do when isolating things is start from scratch and LEAVE IT STOCK don't change anything. Don't install anything just let it stock from the zip. No kernel nothing. Then if the problem isn't there, start by adding one thing at a time back to your configuration.

Hope that helps!

[LG Optimus 2x] rzlatic:
if everything is working then don't touch it. if you have problems with static noise during call then it's baseband problem - some of us had that, as cm7 overwrite your baseband with 218 one and not every phone is happy with that baseband. it's essential if you have nandroid of your original rom. reflash it and check which was your original baseband. then return back to CM7, find correct baseband (there's excellent thread by our local hero, tonyp. you have link in previous posts) and flash just a baseband. use getril to find correct RIL. or feel free to experiment with different basebands, but once again, if everything is working okay then don't touch it.
[LG Optimus 2x] kingvortex:
CM7 does not change your baseband, only the RIL.

As stated before, use Getril to make sure the baseband and RIL match. Only change your baseband if you're having battery/reception issues.
[LG Optimus 2x] gst0098:
I noted that into the phone-info screenshots the amount of reported available ram can be different by some megabytes, sometimes it appears to be 420, sometimes 404 (mine has 404 mb of ram).

Is this dependent by the baseband/ril ?

Giuseppe
[LG Optimus 2x] Levus:
I don't think so....
[LG Optimus 2x] gst0098:
Yes, I found myself that the baseband is irrelevant to that.

I installed two different baseband and the amount of reported ram remained constant. Apparently the only parameter that can affect that is the ramhack parameter.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] cmunho:
Eventually you will have to replace the screen protector. There are two schools of thought on this:

1. Buy really cheap screen protectors and replace them often,

2.Buy decent screen protector and you won't have to replace them too often.

I use photodon MXH, which are an "HD anti-glare" they provide some glare and fingerprint reduction, without sacrificing too much screen clarity. Everyone has a different opinion on which type to get (clear or matte), but my personal preference is the matte. I have had a Photodon MXH on my Cintiq for about a year and there are minimal scratches. So minimal that I don't notice. l'll be ordering a couple for the Galaxy note this weekend.

Just curious on why you want a screen protector for the Note 10.1. Is it scratch protection, glare reduction etc.

I hope for your sake you returned it. If not you should because it really won't work with the pen.

It should also be noted that the Wrapsol and BestSkinsEver won't work either. Stick with the "hard" plastic dry install screen protectors. So far I'm having good luck with the matte rooCASE screen protector I got from amazon. I may wait on ordering the photodon.
