Hey bro, I stopped picking it apart (for a little break), but also am waiting for the kernel to be realeased. Once its released we'll be able to change host and other fun stuff to allow more avenues to be explored.

Son of a [email protected]?/$. Wish they would release the source code already... Maybe now that I'm done with school for a minute I will dig into att for some info on the source code...
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

IIRC, someone was was able to flash a boot.img via CWM....so S-Off isn't a crushing priority unless we want to change the radio or version of HBOOT....Still something to pursue....but not choking development.
CM9 is already in an early alpha phase....so when kernel source drops it should help provide data on the broken pieces (unless HTC just happens to leave out the parts we need).
Anyhoo, everyone is getting antsy because there are not breakthroughs happening every day now. You have to understand we are about 70%-80% already opening this entire phone to all of its capabilities that users expect with mature, heavily developed devices (CWM, TWRP, root, unlocked bootloader, a few great Custom ROMs, etc.). The last remaining 20-30%, mostly kernel source, should finish providing what all of us need to 'top it off' (CM9, AOKP, Custom Kernels, etc.).
Be patient, we've already gone through most of the hard parts ....just waiting on HTC now...

Dual Boot , is it possible?

This may be a dumb question, but I thought it would be really cool if it was possible. Would it be possible to dual-boot between a sense ROM and a CM10 ROM with perhaps a script using script manager or TWRP recovery and to fit both ROMs on the system partition would it be possible to combine\collapse certain files that are identical on both of the ROMs? Or is that they completely absurd and ridiculous question?
P.S. I am a horrible speller.

Just not supported for the One X because no S-off. :crying:

Not currently available on our phone, the closest you're going to come is storing any cross-ROM data on your SD card partition and flashing between the backups of two ROMs. Personally I believe that devs should focus on their ROMs becoming so polished that you won't need to dual boot
What benefits were you looking to get out of running two separate ROMs?

Cm10+ sense camera would be awesome.

Benefit of Dual Boot

It's a very practical way of testing new roms and rom updates on a second partition, while maintaining a stable rom on the first partition as your "daily driver".

Hi, I have been using bootmanager on my last 2 HTC phones (dhd and sensation) and its great. I used it to test out loads of different Roms and also had a work based Rom (with mandatory extra software etc) and my own for the rest of the time.
I recently upgraded to the one x and was gutted to find that it was not supported. I am lucky enough to have an s-off version so tried a manual setup but it fails at the first hurdle when setting up phone Rom.
The devs seem to be having some time off and their support mail quota is blown so have not managed to ask them. Shame as they used to be great with support.
If the bootmanager devs or anyone cleverer than I has any ideas let me know otherwise I will report back if I ever get it to work.
Cheers

I'd be interested if you ever get it to work let us know. This forum is for the dual core version know as the htc one xl not sure you have this version or the quad core international version.

Will do. Its the international version quad core, this seemed the closest discussion on this topic.

Sent from my Nocturnal One X

If I could humbly suggest one edit? I had a Rezound for months before getting the Evita. Many of the same issues applied prior to achieving S-OFF.
Flashing the boot.img from any ROM is only necessary if the kernel/firmware is different (ie from ICS to JB), right? Otherwise the boot partition remains the same?
I flashed CleanROM 4.5 without fastboot flashing the boot.img and have been doing fine...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

No, cr uses a old base. The newer roms have new kernels like 2.40 and 2.41, I mentioned it in my video. You can leave the stock boot.IMG if it was a older rom only. But I would use the one that comes with the Rom since most dev will edit them per Rom. And stock still has security on as well.

HTCDev.com
I went through the whole process of getting my token from the phone and it worked according to plan, however when i went to
sign in and get my unlock token, htcdev.com is lagging out, timing out, and erroring everywhere. I can get it to the point where it
comes up with the E-Mail cannot be sent error so I know my token is good. My question is, do I have to re-run the whole process
and get a new token when there site is back up, or will my token be the same?

Your token will be the same unless you change the cid.

ROM With End Call Button In Notification Bar

The main thing keeping me from trying another ROM is the End Call button HTC puts in notification bar, allowing you to hang up from anywhere in the phone. Is there another ROM with this feature or an alternative?
Thanks!

I think most ROMs have this, you do mean this right?

thread should be in QA.

I cant seem to find the download Link for this rom/tweak/mod

Cyanogenmod (and most aosp I would guess) can do it.
Just realised that I was in regular android dev, not aosp section.
Oh well!

It's the same situation as with the M8, the M7 has completely different chipsets and screen resolution making it virtually impossible.

Kinda doesn't matter on chipsets. You just need a kernel that boots 4.3 - 4.4.2 ... For example I port roms from the m7 to the DNA , DLXPUL, and butterfly. Because they all have a kernel that works. And all those devices have different chipsets..... And no resolution doesn't matter either, yes some apps will need to be resized which you can do by editing the dimensions.xml in each app..but sense 5 and up supports hdpi-xxhdpi on most of its applications

If evo source has dropped for 4.3 then all a kernel dev needs to do is see what's the difference 4.3 and 4.2.2 .. I'd look at defconfig between them... Cause 4.3 is still jellybean. I seen you have a kernel dev here.. ask @Zarboz how to do it. He's the genius on porting kernels

zarboz is not free ths days i guess... No news of him... Or else we would be having sense 6 by now... He himself said about bringing it to our device...

Well I'm working on it and it's going okay I suppose. Me and an amazing kernel dev are making progress. Lots of logcats.
Of course, older versions of softwares are always less buggy because of the amount of time taken to refine them.

Nothing is impossible.
the kernel is very important to port a rom .like sensation run 4.1.2 sense5 or droid dna run 4.4.2 sense6

Well I don't know its possible....only time will tell but for now I can just appreciate efforts of the guy above....this device is so special just because of dev like this

Based on what? Of course its possible. The real question is how feasible it is based on how much work needs to be done, versus the desire by the right folks to do that work.
