Is development dead? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I figured after source for 4.03 was released we would be seeing all kinds of activity in the development section. For the first 4-5 days after source I thought it was just the calm before the storm, now I'm getting the feeling the phone is just basically dead in the water. Bummer.

Dead? No not yet. But unless we figure out root for the new firmware and get s-off it will be dead. If one of the devs breaks their phone and gets one on the 2.20 firmware as a replacement then they're out of business.

What happened to all the "man, once source is released development is really gonna takeoff and we'll see this device's full potential"? Lol

Because they released the older source and most of the devs are already moving there roms to the 2.23 base and HTC has not dropped the source for it.

This phone is getting ready to go bye bye real quick. I bought it the first day available and have not complained about development for it one single time, but I am officially tired of waiting for this or for that to be released before we can really see roms/kernels take off. The problem is there isn't much out there to jump to.

I am new to android but I did not notice any difference between stock and custom roms. Even the changelogs are filled with "updated all apps" which is not something that requires big knowledge to do

Definitely not dead yet. I developed for about a year over on the Inspire/DHD, and just moved here recently. We really are waiting for a source drop on the new 4.0.4, as 4.0.3 is now basically 'EOL' so to speak.
But. Like I said, expect to see a lot of work coming in the future, at least from Me. Team Impulse is on the way, and we'll be bringing some great work here.

Be patient man, this phone is pretty new, I came up from the Amaze forums and look how long it took for s-off to happen and how long it took development to start rolling. Just give it time, or if you're not willing to wait do it yourself

obvious troll is obvious.

I stand by my statement regarding us being in deep poopy unless we get s-off or sanctioned boot loader unlock.

I think you're probably right. I haven't seen anything really new. I think interest in this phone is waning more and more everyday. Too bad. Its really an excellent phone, but I think the next big release will push it farther down the ladder.

For what its worth, the gs3 isnt too much newer than the OneX.. my buddy bought one and begged me to root it, and I was trolling their forums for roms and mods and couldn't really find anything better than what our devs have been pooping out. Some of the 4.0.4 ROMs are awesome, and that's without source? I see development kickin ass for this phone so far. The devs are making everything happen exactly how I want the phone to run. I mean seriously, have you flashed rohans AOKP alongside the beastmode kernal? Used team nocturnals blazing roms with coredroid and themed? Checked out scotts cleanroms? Over clocked to 2.1 ghz and be be blazing fast? What more do you need lol. If i was ballin' i would donate thousands of dollars to these devs just for what they've done so far with the little resources HTC screwed them with. But at the same time, who the hell am I to voice an opinion Haha.

I am actually pretty pleased with the roms here I am patiently waiting for cm10 to work :good:
I came from metro pcs and the development there is slower then here but learned to wait and know devlepoment isnt easy. I mean why don't you start making roms yourself so you can make it the way you like

This thread needs to be deleted, its disrespectful towards our hard working devs and discourages new devs with the lack of appreciation

I appreciate the hell out of our devs. My beef is with htc and at&t. But I think I've always been clear about this.

[POLL] rom aggrandizement

So, I really, really don't want to come back to HTC while AT&T has them bent over. However I did tell everyone I was going to make a rom for this device. If jcase gets it unlocked tomorrow I will be a bit more inclined to do it. The thought of playing the Apple cat and mouse game with an android device isn't very appealing to me at all!
So I leave this up to you! Should I make a rom for the AT&T One X? (added a poll)

Developers need an ICS leak to make anything new, how many GB ROMs do you want? As far as the CM9 RIL has proved to be a huge problem. So no, developers still have Thunderbolts they just need something new to work with, instead of pointing fingers at them, point them at HTC.

While it's not the fault of the dev's, we have been forgotten. The thunderbolt is unfortunately old news and most likely won't have much more activity until we get ICS/JB.
Its more like HTC doesn't give a crap about our phones anymore. It's unacceptable that they haven't put out an update sooner.
I'm still here!
Most phones were forgotten (or stagnated) on Verizon when the Nexus came out. Anyone who didn't see that coming was just a tad short-sided.

Bionic already has 4 ICS leaks...and blame HTC. Anyway, the Incredible S (GSM Dinc 2) got ICS today. Here's the thing - the Thunderbolt was replaced by the Rezound a long time ago, and it's honestly not that great of a phone anyway. It was the first LTE phone, but the specs were far behind other phones that came out before it. It will be nice when it finally does get ICS (and it will, but remember the 2.3.4 update took a very long time as well), but most people (like me) who bought this phone will have already moved on, or be well on their way to a better phone by the time it finally is released. As far as being forgotten by developers - not forgotten, but they have moved on to better phones. The Thunderbolt is old hat - 1Ghz Snapdragon w/ 768MB RAM, the developers have moved on to better things, for the most part.

The troll is heading back to his bridge!!

So I've received the HTC One S a few days ago (not the One X + because tmobile doesn't like nice phones) and I'm falling in love with it! So I guess this means goodbye, at least for a while. I'm sure this is good news for most lol. If it's any conciliation, the HTC one S development thread is horrible!! It has no personality what so ever and no one objects when others ask for ETAs which is something I've grown to genuinely love about this community Hopefully Bhundven and his team successfully port jelly bean (and have TV out working) but I'm sure a few weeks after, there'll be a mass migration back to ics in favor of a more "stable rom." lol Anywho good luck guys, the Samsung Galaxy S 4g will always be in my heart!

I've also been eyeing that phone... I think the One X is too big, and the One S is much closer to the size of the GS4G, which I like very much. I've also checked out the One S forums, but am still on the fence, especially since my phone works so well with these custom roms, I really don't have a great reason to upgrade, other than trying something new..
please report back how you like it (or send a PM if you don't want to clutter up the board here).

Yeah honestly I can't stress to you how awesome this phone is! The display is super bright, the resolution is also pretty good so don't worry about qhd complaints specially since you're coming from the S 4g display. The camera is professional quality and it preforms well day to day. If you don't like sense you can always install apex or a stock aokp ics rom but I happen to like sense personally specially the widgets and customizations. The rooting method, like for most htc phones, is significantly harder. There is another thing called S-off which has hindered development for the phone. There are still plenty of roms to play around with (including jelly bean!) but the installation is pretty tricky so for instance, you'll need to use a command prompt to flash something called a boot image to install any time and it's easy to brick. There are other new terms you'll need to learn of course. Don't let this scare you. One of the best things is the battery life (Both onscreen and stand by). The sheer performance is out of this world for example it can be over clocked to 2.1 mhz! Trust me when I say you won't regret having this phone! I've even heard from some it's better than the one X

So the jellybean update didn't make it in October..

Any bets on if it will make in to us in November?
I see some of the international one x phones are starting to get it, I am curious how long it will be before we see it on the one XL.
The folks on AT&T and Rogers (like myself) probably won't see an OTA until at least the new year as both carriers are notorious for slooooow updates. (Hard to port all that bloat I guess), but there are other carries in Germany and Asia that have the same model so I hoping that one of them pushes it out so or devs can work their magic.
So who wants to start placing bets on when we will see a 4.1.2 RUU for the one xl?

i thought i read somewhere that jb for at&t hoxl will be released like 2 weeks after the onex+
Currently running CM10, as the speed and multitasking are way better. On the other hand, I get way better battery life with sense based roms, and the music experience is a little better.
I am hoping that the One X JB update brings the same speed as CM10 with the battery life and beats of sense.

I read this on a thread here somewhere, a guy had spoken to a friend who worked for HTC and he said that they would not be releasing ICS for the shift. Based on this, I think its pretty safe to say that HTC will not be rolling out a JB update, sad as it is.

I was in my local BestBuy and surprised to see this phone still available for purchase. I would expect HTC to be planning an update to at least ICS since they are still selling these phones.
Gingerbread was good when this phone came out two years ago, but way out dated now to expect customers will be happy with it starting a new two year contract.

Since offically, HTC says the our shifts have reached EOL, don't expect many updates from them at all. And besides, we actually have an amazing 4.x community on the shift. I mean, we aren't the SIII or anything, but there are a handful of ICS and JB roms. Pick one and flash it, then you could just act like the phone came that way
