Dock audio seems to be broken in all of the 4.2 Roms. It was working great for me on most of the 4.1 Roms but I have yet to find one that works on 4.2
[HTC One X+] badtlc:
First, let me say I love this forum. Second, this is my first smart phone, let alone an android OS phone. I have never rooted a phone, let alone installed a custom ROM. I do have linux experience but more as a hobby, not a power user. I like to keep a linux machine around for fun. The idea of never using windows again at home is one I hope to go full bore on someday but I refuse to go MAC.

Having said that, I really like the stock setup from a usability standpoint. My only complaints are the bloatware that I cannot remove and that even when I have power saving turned on, the battery seems to go too fast. I'm trying to accomplish the following:

1) Improve battery life

2) Free up storage space

3) eliminate bloatware

4) Maintain simple interface (I don't want to be inundated with options and choices)

I use my phone to watch MKV movies a lot. I also prefer the stock browser. I watch a lot of flash videos/streams online. I like to be able to use DLNA to share MKV to other devices on the network. I'm not a gamer anymore.

Would anyone be able to help me decide how to accomplish this? Would a custom ROM be a good solution for me? If so, which ROM? Would I be better off just rooting the phone and uninstalling items?

Thanks for any answers and advice you nice folks can give me.
[HTC One X+] Stephen:
Rooting phone is a good idea. That way you have full control over your rom. Remember to do a backup of your rom before you start making changes, then if you get in to difficulties you can revert back to the original with out any worries.
[HTC One X+] MickMcGeough:
Android Revolution is a good "Sense cleaner" with some non-intrusive enhancements.

Venom (my current ROM) takes it to the next level and has a friendlier UI for removing Sense bloat. Venom has more configuration options than you can imagine - but you can just ignore them if you like things the way they are.

The best perceived battery life I've had so far on my HOX+ is CyanogenMod though. It's a totally separate build, and based straight on original Android source, not HTC's. You'll lose the sweet HTC camera chip functions with this option (if it's really that sweet is a matter for debate though).
[HTC One X+] Daywalker68:
I can only agree with the previous speaker.

Venom is probably the future.

You have so many settings that you will not find elsewhere.

Stable, fast, smooth, and a great support.

Hats off to the developers
[HTC One X+] gamepr:
If only they'd get rid of the viper icons :D

Haha. It'll look more professional....just saying.
[HTC One X+] Daywalker68:
That's right. I hope it looks better from now.
[HTC One X+] Kraizk:
Well I do not know if you are an international or U.S. user. I can only speak for U.S. and my experience has been Elegancia. The rom is fast stable and offers the simplistic support of what you enjoy. Personal preference directs me away from Viper rom. I have found it buggy, slow and overall hinders daily use. If you are international I would definitely go with Cyanogen Mod, and would still transition to cyanogen once it is released for the U.S. variant.
[HTC One X+] Daywalker68:
I use the International Device. For me, the Viper Rom works fine on my Hox +.:good:
[HTC One X+] killman2659:
I second this. Elegancia is great. It gives me great battery life, better than the others Imo. But YMMV.
[HTC One X+] UK_Frosticles:
ARHD

I was just the same as you but my advice would be simply to install android revolution HD, it looks identical to the default HTC sense so its really easy to use obviously. It improves battery life really well from my experience, I can easily go a couple days without recharging if I need to, or more if I don't use it much. The ROM also has great performance and it makes everything noticeably faster and more fluid, it also uninstalls all the rubbish that's on there when you get it like amazon MP3 and all that stuff. As for installing it just use Hasoon2000's toolkit which I'm sure you've seen by now to root and install the ROM.

[HTC One X+] adamkaye:
I'll give you my experience, since I'm in a similar boat. After 3 years away from Android (had the first Motorola Droid but wasn't into rooting), I switched from my iPhone 4 to the HOX+ on AT&T so I could give Android another shot. I quickly learned that HTC and AT&T put a LOT of crap on their phones I didn't need, and wanted to slim it down, get better battery life, speed things up, etc.

So for my first rooting/ROM experience, I used Hasoon's tool to root, then went about picking a ROM. I ended up with Elegancia, but really I'd go with either that or Viper just based on the amount of activity on their threads. Elegancia has been excellent, and if you're essentially looking for stock experience with better battery life, just make sure you DON'T choose "De-sense" in the options, and just leave all the HTC apps on during installation.

I actually de-sensed and went with Nova Launcher, but I can tell you that the ROM runs MUCH smoother and faster than stock, and I haven't regretted it. I haven't tried Viper yet. Depending on how long Llior takes on his CM 10 for the AT&T, I may try Viper in a week or two to see how it goes, but honestly, can't go wrong with Elegancia.

Hope this helps. As a similar noob in the rooting/flashing scene here, if you have more questions let me know.
[HTC One X+] badtlc:
Thanks for all the replies.

I have used the toolkit and rooted the phone today. Everything says to backup before installing a ROM. I thought I made a backup during the rooting process. I only really want a backup of my stock phone in case I have to go back later.

How do I know if I have a full backup that I can use later?

What exactly is the process for creating a backup and where is it saved? Can I save a backup on my PC instead of the phone?

I don't want 2 or 3 complete backups on my phone hogging up space.
[HTC One X+] badtlc:
OK. I think I got Elegancia installed but I never did install the new boot.img.

Does the elegancia ROM install/update this automatically? I have booted into the new Elegancia ROM and it appears to be running fine.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackcoffee85:
I get a signature error with this, do I need a gold card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
no.. u sure u downloaded the right ruu
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackcoffee85:
I was using the wrong RUU before but I've located the correct one, Vodafone 2.33.161.2 which is the current device version, and the RUU just hangs at 'Updating Signature'. It does eventually fail with error 155, Unknown error, suggesting an incorrect RUU or ROM.

Any idea where I'm going wrong? Will a goldcard allow me to flash the 2.3 RUU from HTC?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
with the 2.3 gb upgrade u do NOT need a goldcard, thats why abaaaabbbb63 suggested it. click bortaks guide in my sig and go down to resourses and download the 2.3 gb upgrade ruu from there. it wont do u any harm in reading the guide aswell
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackcoffee85:
I'm following the steps in bortaks guide under section [2], but the linked RUU fails. Unfortunately it's a PVT3 device so I can't use some of the other options in the guide.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
What does it say? Is it a radio fail?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
like abaaaabbbb63 said what fails? did u run the ruu but it failed? did u create a goldcard before running the ruu? why havnt u still not tried the 2.3gb upgrade? what does it say in bootloader? no one can help if u just post it failed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackcoffee85:
Sorry, I wasn't being very clear.

I've tried the 2.3 GB from HTC and that fails with the 131 CID Error which is why I though that I needed to use a goldcard.

The Vodafone RUU (126338) that has the same version as the device (2.33.161.2) fails with 155 unknown error.

I'm going to try and make a goldcard and run the 2.3 from HTC.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
u shouldnt get cid error with the 2.3gb upgrade coz it bypasses the cid check, thats why it was suggested. u 100% sure u used the 2.3gb upgrade?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackcoffee85:
You were right, I have so many RUUs I was trying to flash the wrong one.

The 2.3 RUU flashes the recovery, radio, system image and then fails with Error [152]: IMAGE UPDATE ERROR.

Unplugging the device on the RUU's recover screen as instructed shows the RUU output:

[1] RADIO_V2 - FAIL PU

Items 2-9 are listed as OK

Partition update fail!

Update Fail!

Here's a photograph of the screen - http://imgur.com/PK5jBJb
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
What you have there is a radio brick. The only thing you can do now is repeat the RUU process with the 2.3 one, and hope that it will eventually work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackcoffee85:
I thought as much.

It won't even install the 2.3 RUU now, fails with signature error. I'm at the 4 corners exclamation mark screen.

That will never happen and a similar thread has already been posted. The Lumias have never been unlocked sim wise, much less running a different OS. You also have to make a custom version of Android that would support all the hardware differences in the Lumia. MS is not going to just lay down and let people remove their OS and put another one on the phones that the have endorsed.

* Mount your USB Storage

* Right-click your MTP device in Device Manager, choose Properties

* Go to Details tab, and choose "Hardware IDs" out of the dropdown box.

* Paste the PID_#### here.

The MTP PID (0f91) is shared between evita, jewel, and ville, it seems. The MTP+ADB PID (0df9) is distinct from other devices though.
[HTC One S] RockR172:
Is the MTP+ADB PID of evita and jewel the same?

Also, how will these product ID's help in implementing MTP in CM code? :)
[HTC One S] mdmower:
The MTP+ADB PID is distinct between evita and jewel as well. So this falls in line with that pattern.

Windows is finicky about identifying devices and loading the correct drivers/connection type. It is important that the correct PID is specified so windows will know how to interact with the device.

Mac and Linux (although MTP support in Linux isn't terrific) do a better job of working with a device regardless of PID.
