Still loving the Blade ROM, I've tried another couple but seemingly I always prefer to stick with Blade. Battery life is incredible, I can consistently charge my phone every OTHER day which I have never been able to do with my HOX since getting the phone when it was first released! It runs so smooth, so quick and it offers just the right amount of customization with just the right selection of included programs. I really like that it's a simple rom, no aroma installer with confusing options but has a couple of the most common tweaks such as the % battery mod and the APM as standard.. Simples! :D. I know a lot of the other ROM's have the ability to be quite light, and I know that ROMCleaner is something that is used by the majority of everyone else in the community which just goes to show how much sense it is to have an optimized ROM without all the useless crap in from the first flash!

The only things I can suggest would still be the volume down for wake, and the only other thing I feel should be included as stock is some sort of File Browser.. I personally prefer the Cyanogen mod one, but I know their are many other available for download through the Market so it's not exactly a major problem :)

Keep up the great work theDroidfanatic!
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks for the Amazing review Ashalak! :D Really glad you appreciate it! :)

Sure, File Explorer coming in next build :D

And about the volume wake, no one has made that mod for JB Sense ROMs yet :( if they do, I'd love to include it :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Been working on a handmade Blade Custom wallpaper for you guys! Just a small sneak peak :P
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Some more
[HTC One X] Cocktopus:
download speed is too slow!

any other link to the rom?
[HTC One X] jarein95:
What rom have better battery life, this or ordroid? And about the speed and performance?

Thanks!!
[HTC One X] serwan:
No viber notification when somebody call me. Any solution?

Send from my HTC One X powered by Blade Rom
[HTC One X] kami2k:
Change volume profile dear
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
No idea :S Not ROM related I'm pretty sure :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Dev Host works fine here :S no other link, sorry :/
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
This uses OrDroid as a base, so this has its awesome performance and battery life, but since this is much lighter, it should be slightly better, but remember, OrDroid it's the awesome base :D
[HTC One X] Kespa76:
I have sync problems with Google sync on your rom, even after a full wipe

Any solution ?

I'm waiting for v3.1.0..Freddy is having nightmares, because Blade still not present in his dream.. :cowboy:
[HTC One X] sadowsky:
Hi guys... Can you guys help me how to screen captured with this Rom.. before upgraded to this Rom, I'm using ICS COREDROID.. lil bit report bout blade Rom after 1week use that I'm satisfied.. thanks blade team, this is very nice Rom..

Bout the screen capture did I missed something? Can you sent me the link to the topics. And can I instal mod for power button?

Thanks again and goodluck always for blade team..
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Which specific part is not syncing? Gmail? That syncs for me :)

Contacts? That syncs for me :)

Bookmarks? That syncs for me :)

Is it calendar?
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Hey :D

I'm glad you're liking it! :D So far, there is no team, just me, and the awesome people on XDA who let me use their work (Shnizlon, Mwilky, etc.) Team blade is still in formation :D

You can take a screenshot by pressing and Holding the volume down and power button at the same time :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Hahaha :D Sorry for the delay, been busy,vacations, studies, now exams soon :)
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
Good luck for your exams mate.. :)
[HTC One X] lswai:
Thanks for this amazing rom. Love it and really have a good battery life with this rom on my hox.
[HTC One X] russellgarrett:
I think I know what he means. It says "Sync is experiencing problems, it will be back shortly". I sync Gmail, contacts, Google currents and Chrome bookmarks. The only thing is, everything seems to sync fine. It just seems to be displaying there is an error when there is not. I thought it might be geographic, but my colleague who has a HOX and Blade 3.0.0 (same as me, on my advice) working on exactly the same WIFI connection does not have the issue.

Rather strange, but like I said, it doesn't actually seem to be affect functionality, so I'm not too bothered.
[HTC One X] cool_sid007:
Any solution for "facebook pics getting blurred" issue?
[HTC One X] Kespa76:
Yes it is that issue !
[HTC One X] hassan89:
Just refresh the pics and it won't blur anymore :)
[HTC One X] flame10:
Finally I am on Blade ROM.. just begun so will gradually come to know the niceties ...

I do get the sync error with google, but the contacts have synced, at least I feel like all has synced..

Will keep digging in this wonderful rom.. thanks
[HTC One X] latimos:
Hmm unfortunately my battery life is not as good as all the other blade rom users in this topic. Installed the blade rom 4 days ago and my battery life is about 23 hours standby and 2 hours screen on time while wifi on all the time. It is my first custom rom on the htc one x and flashed it several times (sense and desensed).I Followed the install instructions from the main post.

Unfortunately I could not make a screenshot from the app gsam battery. It would show some rare battery drain sometimes (losing 10% battery in one minute).

Mayby it has something to do my hox because I am one of the users with the wifi problem.. If someone has an idea..

I will keep trying this rom because the good reviews! There must be a way...

Ps, sorry for my english

You're welcome! :D Glad you like it! Thanks! :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks for the heads up! And thanks for recommending your friend to Blade as well! :D
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
So just a cosmetic issue, but it does sync ;)
[HTC One X] mwilky:
Forgot about you!

To fix power+home for screenshot you need to add back MySketcher.apk.

Took me ages to find it out!
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks for giving it a shot! :D Yeah, it syncs fine, just a cosmetic glitch :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Heheh :P

Thanks a lot! :D Will add this to next build! Cheers for the information and hard work Mwilky! :D :good:
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
I'm sorry you have battery drain :/ yeah! It could be because of the WiFi issue! You should get it fixed, you know :) thanks for trying out Blade!
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Your answer :D
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
V3.1.0 is coming soon :D
[HTC One X] rotemkk:
why? what need to be fixed hehe?:)
[HTC One X] cool_sid007:
And how do you refresh the pics? :eek:
[HTC One X] cool_sid007:
What I understand by refreshing is syncing FB again or opening the particular contact whose pic seems to be blurred (this is how it used to correct it when i was on ARHD) but both the methods aren't really helping.. must be some FB related apk has been removed.. any idea how to sort this up?
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:

[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Why? :P I like the new one :P

Yes, you can, just download the battery mod you want and flash in recovery :)
[HTC One X] cyber8607:
someone here, who tried out ARHD 18 too? How is the Battery of Balde V3 compared the ARHD 18?

[HTC One X] hassan89:
Open the contact whose pic is blurred,click on the pic and it will dropdown,a refresh icon will show,click it and you'll see various sources to pick the display photo from,select one and your done,hope this helps :cool:
[HTC One X] beenja:

[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:

PS: according to Beenja, well, this is what he said ;)
[HTC One X] hassan89:

[HTC One X] jarein95:
This rom has the stock bootanimation or is a custom one? And the power menu is the stock one??

Thanks!!

[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Here's the screenshot:
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Decided to stick with stock kernel?
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:

Yeah, and lag when waking the phone up.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Hope it gets fixed soon :D Heard its got great performance :D
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
Should be sorted soon, maybe even with next release.

Its got great gaming performance, just make sure you set the governor to Interactive and scheduler to Deadline.

[HTC One X] epiteto:
First download of V4.0...

Late night some review...at the moment only a big thanks ! ;)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
"Official Announcement'

ROM is updated :D
[HTC One X] royal66:
Downloading 520 kb/s :)

Do I need to flash new boot.img for this one?

And if i have aosp lockscreen on non sense rom on v 3 have can flash the v4 without wipe and get Sense lockscreen?
[HTC One X] epiteto:
Forgot to ask full wipe or cache and dalvik ...
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Full wipe is recommended but not needed. Cache and dalvik the should suffice. But then the Blade Wallpaper doesn't show in HTC Wallpapers :(
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Yes, new boot.img. Use the HTC Lockscreens zip from post number 2 and add those APKs to /system/app and set permissions. Don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik :)
[HTC One X] cool_sid007:
thanks bro ;)
[HTC One X] royal66:
Thanx for fast reply :)

Flashing and everything seems fast and nice.

But the lockscreen thing didnt work, changed it personilize and OK but nothings happends.

Any idea?
[HTC One X] skeleton1911:
i will give it a try . downloading right now :D:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[HTC One X] ingineru:
Any solution to make the speaker louder during phone calls? The volume became pretty low lately....it was not loud when it was new.

My 5 yrs old dumbphone is miles away in this aspect.
[HTC One X] skeleton1911:
WOW. really great Rom, so FU'$§ing fast and smooth :D:D:D:D
[HTC One X] tandeman:
best rom for me right now. last version was smooth as silk. I've tried many roms and i have to say this rom is smoothest.

thanks for your hard work. I'm downloading the update :D
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
I'm glad you're loving it :D
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thank you sir :D Enjoy!
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
No idea :/ bit default volume should be fine
[HTC One X] Basil 123:
I know it sounds silly - but try using an old dry toothbrush to brush the holes at top - I found that the LED got brighter and the sound louder after a bit of cleaning.

HTH

Baz

PS - battery is epic again, thanks! Mashalla Alayk
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Looks like a new version of OrDroid is out, ahahaha!
[HTC One X] royal66:
Does not work.

The different sense lockscreen can be chosen in personalize menu but nothings change in lockscreen, still standard Google lockscreen.

Actually i would prefer google lockscreen over sense but since there is not possible to se who is calling in that i would like Sense again.
[HTC One X] zuli007:
I tried many roms and came back to BLADE, best battery, no useless apps, best speed (sense roms).

In v4 also have issue with dlna - i must change permission of these 2 files + reboot to get it works. Lockscreens after add and change permissions + reboot works normally in my case.

Thanks for good work, i stay on this rom.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks for the tip! :D

Thanks! :D Jazakallah ;) Assalamualaikum :good:
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Hahha, yeah :P v4.1.0 soon xD
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Found my mistake x) you also have to add "Idlescreen_base.zpk" from OrDroid or Blade Sense and add it to /system/app and change permissions :D Then it'll work :D I'll Maybe make a flashable zip for the Sense Lockscreens too :D
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks! :D

Which two files are you talking about? Tell me, so I'll look into it :D

Glad you're enjoying it! :D

EDIT: Forgot something, have to add HtcDMC.apk too, coming in next build :D
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
I'm updating my sig again! Haha! :D
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Haha :D Thanks!
[HTC One X] tijuanacartel:
hi, trying out blade after becoming dissatisfied with CM10's battery life.

2 questions:

1. How do i enable force close on long press back button?

2. After desense is it possible to load a theme that changes the settings screen to white on black? it's really bright and hurts my eyes.

Thanks for the good work - was impressed at how slim and fast this rom is.
[HTC One X] cool_sid007:
1. Refer the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2061165 this would help you enable longpress kill function

2. I really doubt if there is any theme which would change the white settings page.. I mean its not impossible but i dont rem seeing any such theme.. you might explore the theme section for it..
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Updated OP Banner and complete redesign of OP :) Also, updated the Features list in the OP :P
[HTC One X] BarNie:
Sense version up and running, seems very fast! Thanks a lot for this ROM.

Few issues though and they are probably related to my incompentance. . . To soften this statement, I have my phone now for 2 days and I'm coming from a bone stock Desire HD. Previous modding was on HTC HD and HD2.

I'm using the sense version and wanted to run with launcher pro. All working, but soon I found the limitations of the free app and unlocked it. After unlocking the launcher FC's immediately.Okay it needs updates and the dev seems to have other priorities, so let's try a refund from Google play. . . No go, I seem to be unable to go to My Apps, there's no menu button where I can choose it. This maybe due to 4.1.1 or something.

So just two issues, launcherpro plus FC's and no My App's in Google Play, maybe you can help?
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Glad youre liking it! :D

As per popular request, i removed the 3 dot menu button that appeared in apps, so you can map your recents button to menu, and press and hold it for recents, under settings-display, buttons, and gestures :)

About the Launcher Pro FC, no idea :s try emailing the dev? :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks a lot! :D Glad you're liking it! :)

Here are your answers :D (Thanks Sid!)
[HTC One X] BarNie:
Wow, you're fast! I'll have a go at it.
[HTC One X] D4rk_nVidia:
Verry nice ROM and smooth :)
[HTC One X] ingineru:
Cleaning the speaker with a toothbrush worked!
[HTC One X] kami2k:
Downloading..............
[HTC One X] royal66:
Okay took the file from blade 4 and made it rw-r-r and still no luck :crying:
[HTC One X] lvishal:
request

Great rom... fast and stable until now. Could you please tell me how to bring back the 3-Dot Menu back in the apps? I like that rather than holding the recent apps button. Thanks :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks bro! :D
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Which APKs do you have now? Idle screen_base.apk and another one? Like shortcuts etc?
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks! :D Remove the last 2 lines from build.prop ;)
[HTC One X] Basil 123:
Wahahaha! We'll have to call this the toothbrush mod from now on......:laugh:
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Yep! :D :good:
[HTC One X] Basil 123:
Sorry to ask - it is complex to change the settings screen to show white font on a black background?

I'm running desensed, Nova launcher, black wallpaper but when you hit settings the screen gets too bright, especially at night.

Thanks!

Baz
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Yeah, it is :/ you'd have to decompile the systemui.apk and edit it :) the background should be easy, but they'll be around a 100 or so icons, will take too long to theme em black :/
[HTC One X] kami2k:
sorry but dont like the them, plz provide the files for stock theme
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Which theme? This ROM isn't themed :P if you are talking about the steel, concrete, etc skins, there a zip in post #2, use that ;) hope it helps

PS: just saw you're Pakistani! How come you never said anything about that before??? :D

Assalamualaikum ;)

PPS: I'm going to sleep now, catch ya guys later!

Assalamualaikum! :D
[HTC One X] roykaandorp:
Hey great rom! it's very fast, but i've got one problem. Some apps won't open, and these apps are very very important wordon and songpop;) I've already tried a few things, clean dalvik cache en reinstalling the apps but that didn't resolve de problem. When i'm trying to open these apps i see for a millisecond a screen and after that it closes and nothing happens. Does anyone know a solution for this?
[HTC One X] Ashalak:
Thanks for the new version bro, I am looking forward to trying it out in the next day or two.. Along with Alex's volume wake!

I'll be sure to report back :)
[HTC One X] Basil 123:
try running fix permissions from the rom manager app.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thank you Ash :D Can't wait to hear your review :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Try fixing permissions like Basil said? :)
[HTC One X] mhulsegge:
I haven't been able to get Songpop to work on this rom as well unfortunately.

For me it was the only app that didn't work.

I've tested it on ordroid also, fix permissions didn't help.

Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X met Tapatalk
[HTC One X] Basil 123:
If it's only a single app, which doesn't work on a new base, you should contact the app's developers to fix it.

Getting only 0.9% battery drain per hour overnight.

Epic.
[HTC One X] aidinvm_ultimate:
does this Rom has htc contact widget?

which widget have been deleted ?

i' be thankful if some one describe it clearly
[HTC One X] ingineru:
My pictures are blurry and pixelated, and bad in general, there was a mod on ics that dramatically improved picture quality. Is somehow similar available on JB?
[HTC One X] BlueSingA:
I decided to use Blade as a daily driver since it's stable, bugs free and quite a performer, I'm really happy with it. However, while I have no doubt it's not related to the ROM, ever since I flashed it the battery life on screen on is significantly worse. Should I reset the battery stats and wait it out for a couple of days?
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
Worse than what?

Anywho, I'd advise to wait a couple of days and you might see a difference. :)
[HTC One X] BlueSingA:
Worse than most Sense ROMs I had been on over the last couple of days. Like I said, I'm sure it's not so much ROM related since I see a lot of people are praising the better battery life with Blade and OrDroid, it's just first time that I'm encountering this sort of a "problem" so I'm only wondering if I can influence it for the better.. but yeah, waiting it out is what I had in mind. :)
[HTC One X] CamoGeko:
Could be just placebo...
[HTC One X] Basil 123:
I'd suggest using rom cleaner in recovery to backup settings and apps, then doing a full clean wipe, re-install blade. After your first boot you can then use rom cleaner to restore settings, apps without data and delete the htc setup manager.

AFAIK you get the maximum battery life by de-sensing and using Nova launcher with black wallpaper and haptic feedback off. It's an idea to give it 3 cycles before you make your final comment on battery life..

HTH

Baz
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Contact the dev? :)

Wow! :D Awesome! :D
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Yeah, it has the contacts widget :) it has calendar, mail, contacts, music, clock, weather :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
This seems to be an issue :/ AFAIK no mod like that, sorry :/
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Like Geko95gek said ;)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
You got that right :D Except the black wallpaper part. This is Super LCD2, it shows black colours, it Super AMOLED that turns pixels off for black, hence saving battery, but not this ;)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Like Basil suggested, full wipe, and then restore ONLY Contacts, call log, SMS, apps and data. No system apps etc :) should get amazing soon ;)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Guys! :D Should I add the AOSP recent apps mod with battery percent to this by default? :D

Thread Here
[HTC One X] aidinvm_ultimate:
as an option it would be awsome :good:
[HTC One X] epiteto:
It would be useful...

Hey mate, can you take a look at this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2084522&page=2 to see if your spectacular ROM can support the ultimate way by alex-v to wake the phone with volume key without APM issue ?

I appreciate very much if 4.1 will be fully compatible with alex-v volume wake !

Thanks and one more dose of congratulations for the Blade v4.0 :good:
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks! :D

AFAIK, that mod has APM, try flashing it and see what happens? :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Don't use AROMA so will have to be added by default :) should I?
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks! :D and great to see you here, glad you like it :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
TBH, battery is really EPIC. I get almost 4 hours of screen time with WiFi on 90% of the time and brightness at 60%! That is EPIC :D

Maybe he needs a few more charging cycles, but believe me, battery drain is no issue ;)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Yeah :D can't wait for you to try it out mate :)
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks a lot :D

Well, I will try to stay on par with OrDroid updates, since that is the base I'm using :)

Next build shall have APM, and maybe the music widget, I'd add aroma, but takes too much memory, and isnt really needed, since bloat is already removed, and battery mod is added, what more do you need? :P but all APm is coming in next build

Custom wallpaper and bootanimation soon too ;)

Once again, thanks :D
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks :D

About weather, must he something on your side, works great here :) probably some carrier or location issue in your location?

Yeah, the lockscreens take up space :/ you can manually add the apks to /system/app? It is called HTCLockscreen_something.apk :)
