Hi guys,

Is there a way to flash an unbranded (stock rom) into my orange branded htc one x? I want to remove all the bloatware, orange settings and splashscreens etc. so that it will be like a 'sim-free' handset.

I have 3 of these to do if they can be done.

cheers
[HTC One X] yuval111:
hey what is your hboot version ?

if you dont know how to check you need to reboot into bootloader by pressing volume down and power button together !
[HTC One X] cowen1000:
Hboot is 1.12.0000
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
If you think by flashing a custom rom, your handset will be 'carrier unlocked', your wrong! You still need to get that code from your carrier or from ebay.... ;)
[HTC One X] cowen1000:
Who mentioned 'carrier unlocking??'

My phone is already unlocked as I own an unlocking server ;)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You need to update the hboot first before you can run a JB rom......after that....yes you can flash a stock unbranded wwe 3.20.401 stock rom

Give the output of

Fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC One X] cowen1000:
Can you explain how to do this? And any links to firmware etc.

Also, will that remove the statup 'carrier' logo?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
If its in the splash screen then no, we can't reach that part of the memory. But all carrier apps won't be there.

Look in the android dev section - stickies - tuts and guides index

You need to learn how to use fastboot commands first. From what i can tell you have not much til no experience in that. So read up first on info otherwise you will end up like yuval111.......

I have flashed the hboot now. it is on 1.36, where do I get the stock rom from ? And how do I flash?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
First flash a custom recovery, then flash the boot.img from the rom.zip, then perform a full wipe in the recovery and install the new rom,zip

I have tried flashing custom recovery, the pc says

"sending 'recovery' (6038 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.822s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) Format partition SOS done

OKAY [ 0.554s]

finished. total time: 1.382s

but the phone still boots into normal recovery!!!

My phone doesnt turn on now, just hange on boot-up logo. Im so confused. . . .What software do I use to flash boot img etc?

Sorry for sounding stupid.
[HTC One X] cowen1000:
Right, I have managed to flash cwm and fully wiped it. All I need to know now is how to flash the stock firmware.

Cheers
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Wich recovery did you flash ?

Rename this recovery to recovery.img

http://db.tt/H7m4ffIP

Then flash it

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot erase cache

If it turns out okey it will not boot into the stock recovery. You can't just enter the stock recovery, you can see that because it shows a warning icon just before you can enter it !
[HTC One X] cowen1000:
cwm 6.0.27 using HTC one x All In One Kit by Hassoon

And I have downloaded the Odexed, boot and recovery from the link you posted.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Put my file in the folder on the pc where also the fastboot.exe file is. Then open a command window inside that folder

Hold shift and right click the mouse then select open command window here.

Then perform those commands with the phone in the bootloader
[HTC One X] cowen1000:
I have flashed your recovery into it and now got your running (it boots into normal recovery first and i click 'recovery' for it to boot into yours.

Now I just need to know how to flash the firmware etc.

Cheers
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Wait....you are confusing the bootloader with the recovery. Those are 2 different things.

Open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img to the fastboot folder on the pc.

Flash the boot.img with the phone in the bootloader

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot erase cache

Remove the usb cable and enter the recovery. Go to "mounts & storage" mount the sdcard as a mass storage device, wait 1 min and copy the rom.zip to the phones sdcard.

Unmount and perform a full wipe :

Factory reset

Wipe cache partition

Advanced - wipe dalvik cache

Mounts & storage - format cache,data,system

Then install the 3.20.401 rom.zip

Reboot
[HTC One X] cowen1000:
No worries
[HTC One X] cowen1000:
Thanks very much mate.

All done, working 100% and the carrier startup boot screen has gone too.

I have a one s to do now. Is that the same procedure?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Afaik.....yes. ;)
[HTC One X] bettsaj:
I have a similar issue, although my experience with roms is a little bit more advanced than the original posters.

Long story short, I have/had an UNBRANDED UNLOCKED AND ROOTED HTC one x with viper x loaded on it. It was loaded with the latest viper rom... can't remember what issue number but i know it had Blinkfeed on it so it was probably released shortly after the HTC One was put out.

Anyhoo... I broke the screen, so claimed on my insurance with Lloyds bank who use Lifestyle Group Services LTD as thier mobile insurer.

I recieved a phone back.... a replacement, not mine. Different IMEI, LOCKED AND BRANDED to Orange.

I called Orange and spoke to a really helpfull guy there who advised me that Orange also use the same insurance company. This being the case, he asked me to provide them with all the claim details and he would look into it for me.

Sure enough a few days later I got a text from Orange advising me that they will unlock my phone for nothing, all i had to do was log onto the EE website and fill in an online unlock request. This is now in process of being done (however not complete yet)

My question is this.... Once the phone is unlocked, will i be able to flash the hell out of it, and get Viper X back on it?? Or at the very least will I be able to install the official HTC software updates? The official HTC updates should take it up to Sense 5.5 but the Orange updates are as far as I can see are non-existent.

you can flash custom rom close to stock but you will not remove the splash screen and locked sim you need s-off for this

Hey it seems that i cant pick my custom sms ringtone :/ Is it me that is blind or is it not possible?

I have been able to change the phones ringtone when i get calls but not for notifications or text messages :/

Anyone that can help?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohaz55:
SMS tone is set within the messaging app itself.

Open messages, select settings>notifications where you can set what you like.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taxas:
i still cant pick a custom one mate, only the ones that are already in that list.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohaz55:
If your phone is rooted copy the custom tone to the System/Media/Audio/Notifications folder.

If not rooted see if you have a Ringtones folder on your sdcard and if so copy the tone there and see if it then appears in the notifications list.

Either way may require a reboot before it appears.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Create a folder called "Notifications" in the same place your Ringtones folder is on your internal SD card. That should take care of it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just_to_be_difficult:
Custom SMS tone

This sent me round in circles for a while but there's a really simple solution.

Creating an appropriate Notifications folder as suggested elsewhere is a good idea, then find the mp3 (for example if you've added it to the phone) in ES File Explorer, open the file you'd like (with the ES audio player), then tap the options button (3 dots along the title bar), and from there you can "Set ringtone" - you can choose to set it as ringtone (calls), notification (messages) or alarm.

You could go to play store and download Ringo or Ringo pro.

You can customise a ring tone and a notification tone for every person in your phone book.

Constantly ring and vibrate your phone when SMS is received

The walk-around is to make the phone constantly ring and vibrate when an important message is received. I developed an app

that can ring the phone, like a normal phone call, when an important contact messages you.

Try it out to see if it works for you: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textcall.app
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonrrois:
Hey, my phone wasn't able to that as well but since I have a rooted phone, I can do pretty much everything that my phone doesn't handle and if you have a rooted phone you will be able to do this. Just install Root Explorer (if you don't find it in the play store just search on Google: Root Explorer apk) and download it. Now go to right section that says Storage and go to the directory where your mp3 ringtone file is. Copy or cut it and now go to System/media/audio/notifications and just paste it there! With the normal File Manager that it's in your phone won't work, so rooted phones really help!

Mod edit: Links removed

The new Samsung Galaxy S4 may be the only phone to include temperature and humidity sensors, but your Galaxy Note 2 has a few weather-detecting features of its own.

Firstly, it has a barometer, which measure atmospheric pressure that can help alert you to a possible nearby rainstorm before a slowly updated weather app can. Secondly, there's the thermometer.

Wait...what?!?

Despite the GS4 being the only phone right now equipped with a thermometer that reads ambient temperature, most all devices have a thermometer that measure internal components like the battery. That way, things like this or this (pictured) don't happen:

With the proper algorithm, the internal reading could be used to approximate the ambient temperature around you.

And that's exactly what the new app does.

Developed by , who's already mastered the art of crowdsourcing with their for finding Wi-Fi hotspots, WeatherSignal uses your smartphone's sensors to crowdsource local weather forecasts. This is different than A-Minor's Weather Station app, which was developed specifically for individual use on the GS4.

WeatherSignal was also designed with the GS4 in mind, to take full advantage of its barometer, thermometer, and hygrometer, but it will also work with other devices like the Samsung Galaxy S3 and our Note 2s (only we can't help contribute to humidity readings). WeatherSignal uses everybody's local readings to piece together a comprehensive live weather map.

Only the GS4 will provide somewhat accurate ambient temperature readings (internal temperature will affect the ambient reading), but everyone else can pitch in too.

OpenSignal's algorithm will convert the internal temperatures of our other smartphones into external temperature data. With appropriate averaging and filtering, these readings have proven to be pretty accurate compared to meteorologist data.

Aside from ambient temperature, WeatherSignal also measures:

Pressure (devices with barometers, including our Note 2s)

Light intensity (using ambient light sensors; most devices have them)

Humidity (devices with hygrometers, currently only the GS4)

Magnetic flux (devices with magnetometers, including our Note 2s)

Acceleration (devices with accelerometers, including Note 2s)

Some of the features included in WeatherSignal:

Widgets for temperature, magnetic, light, humidity, and pressure.

Saves data to SD card.

Map of readings of other users and of your own, see averages within each map window, click on icons to see full readout.

Manual reports.

Since this app is still in beta mode, not all of the readings are going to be 100% accurate. Certain habits, such as having your device in your pocket for too long or quick movement may affect the readings. OpenSignal is working on making the app more accurate and efficient for its regular release.

And just in case you're wondering, other devices that contain a barometer include the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note, Nexus 10, LG Nexus 4, Motorla XOOM, RAZR MAXX HD, and Xiaomi MI-2.

I used apktool to decompile framework-res.apk ( to fix htc network auto select for romporter). That part worked fine.

I used the command "apktool d -f framework-res.apk" and it gave me the folder, now I have edited it and trying to recompile it.

Am using the command "apktool b framework-res and nothing happens. (I don't know if it gives out any error, I don't see it). I don't get the apk. I know after I get the apk, I have to drag the meta-inf and androidmanifest from the old one, but I just can't get the apk.

Sometimes I have this problem while charging my phone, it actually will not charge at all through the night. I think this happens when it is warm, because in the summer, the phone overheats in my pocket and dies out :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
i do that but it goes to 200 mhz never 100
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
That's a 'feature' of the ICS+ kernels. While 100MHZ is the minimum, if it's actually set to that, the kernel is set to go back to 200MHZ anytime it gets the chance. You can watch this happen if your scheduler/governor app actually updates on current min/max speeds. :) ROM Toolbox PRO, SetCPU, ROM Control, and CM's Performance controls all display this shifting, though with luck you can sometimes get it to stick at 100MHZ. It just takes some persistence.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
The modem on the phone isn't very good.

It even happens on stock where if you go in and out of dead zones, it will "SEARCH" for network and become burning hot, so it's a common problem that happens year round. It's a great way to kill battery. That's also why if you leave you phone in a sock drawer, it's going to last longer than if it's in your pocket walking around.

I never got my phone to go into deep sleep when I selected ondemand (or maybe it was ondemandx). I would try a couple of the other governors & see if that would help.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
OndemandX gives me good sleep, but forces the phone to minimum speeds when the screen is off. That tends to cause issues if I'm trying to use GPS or music without the screen burning.

As to what will work best... that depends on unique your phone, its apps, any tweaks that have been made, and your specific combination of scheduler/governor settings. I'm a fan of SIO, but sometimes the tweaks make that (and deadline) stick at max MHZ, in which case noop is great. At various times, I go with any of the SA2-based 'intelligent' options (SavagedZen, brazilianwax, SmoothAss, or SmartAssv2) or the OndemandX/Conservative basic sets. The others have gotten stuck more often and tended to allocate more processor than I think it needs. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I've always had the best luck with smartassv2. I think it's a good tradeoff between good battery life and quick processor speedups in order to prevent lag, plus I haven't had the issue of the processor locking up while the screen is off.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
