Soo excited, i was afraid to do it for past few weeks, but finally decided to do it, lol had no prior experience on rooting and this was my first phone rooting EVER, but following guides helped me and downgraded, temp root, than perm rooted with S off , and finally a custom ROM without a problem in like 1 hour XD.
See pics below of my MT4G running the MIUI ROM.
So basically i was wondering what rom i should get(already bored of the MIUI XD), just give me some suggestions, and also what else can i do with perm root S-Off except for flashing roms and installed root only apps, is there anyways i can possibly change the Bootscreen where it says MyTouch 4g to something else? thanks
first off, congrats buddy, and welcome
personally i really like miui, the themeing and customization imo is one of the most powerful and best on a rom, and it's cm7 based, gotta love dat cm7
the new ICS, now that the camera works, and actually even before the camera (but having one is better than not), is what i'm running right now and i'm loving it alot, super smooth like butter.
have fun flashing

Check this thread, then search the themes and app forum for splash screen-there are several threads that have custom splash screens sized for our phone, am sure you will find one you like

be careful with this part. If u brick your phone, and it doesnt have the original splash screen, you 99.99999% wont be able to get a warranty replacement if u turn it on and it gets stuck on the splash screen saying anything but the official logo. I love customizing, but after bricking my last phone just by taking the battery out, I've chosen not to take risks like that. thats the only thing im keeping the same.

Facial recognition does not work in IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1. A planned update will include that feature (read the OP, it's all in there). If you're dying to try out face recognition unlock, give Zip's Creamed Glacier a shot. However, his version is completely stock (AOSP) whereas IceColdInsomnia is AOKP, meaning it has been modified with tweaks and customizations, the most significant which is ROM Control. It basically gives you a few more options in the settings to tweak to your liking; it also includes the option to skip tracks by long-pressing the volume buttons while the screen is off. That is one feature I cannot live without...
Anyways, yes, you wipe everything and flash it. You can disregard the kernel posted at the link because one is already included in the ROM.
check out "Zips Creamed Glacier"

the most well rounded ICS Rom in my opinion is "Zips Creamed Glacier"
*usb works
*facial recognition works
*low mic issue has been resolved.
*both cameras are working
i've been using it for the past three days and i don't have anything negative to say. check it out im pretty sure u guys won't be disappointed.
Personally I believe this ROM is the best:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563576
It combines the two best ICS ROMs together, forming the most optimal one for now. Too bad the download has been taken down for the time of being.
I finally talked my wife into letting me root her mt4g. I jumped into mine too fast and had issues. Actually I had my bootloader unlocked by htc, and it took me many tries to reverse the damage of HTC method, but i finally got mine right. But today, from the time i pryed it outta her hand til i finished, took me about 10 to 15 minutes, since i have all the files in the right places. Im pretty good now, but i was just ignorant a few weeks ago! I enjoyed doing hers. But she didnt want ics yet, so i put Darkside Sense 4 on hers for now. I am waiting just a tad bit longer, the I'm gonna move on to ics...

When you start calling people names, you are the one that appears immature and childish, no matter how correct you may be.
The problem is, though, you are not correct. Maybe it only appears as a "simple" mistake to you, probably because you don't care or haven't spent enough time in the forums, but for people who frequent XDA then it has become a cumulative nuisance.
Also, when the majority of users responding in the thread you started is either questioning the logic of your statement or placement of the thread then maybe you need to reflect on what you were trying to accomplish and maybe take into consideration how you can achieve better results in the future. Long story short, try to learn from your mistakes.
Okay, so, International One x won't be compatible because of hardware differences, but what about the One S roms? I just tried flashing the CM9 port for the S, and it flashed successfully but upon reboot the screen was just filled with green graphical glitches. Rebooting back into recovery and attempting to restore my backup of the stock system didn't work at all, so RUU for me... but, why wouldn't a One S ROM work? It has 99% of the same hardware... besides the qHD screen. I remember being able to flash a Droid 3 ROM to my bootloader-locked Atrix 2 and it booting up just fine. What's different here?

LTE radio for one. Probably some other minor differences too.
I've rooted and used custom roms on other devices in the past although I've left my Nexus stock and my OneX is currently stock. With this phone I am trying to figure out why I want to root? The phone runs great, I haven't had reboots or issues and battery life is great.
I don't care for custom roms because in my experience there's always minor things that don't quite work and stability can be so so.
Apart from custom roms any good reason to root this phone? With my Sensation I rooted right away but with the One X, there's nothing that I feel like needs to be addressed with root.

Bloatware removal, button remap, memory settings to alleviate multitasking woes, ad blocking, tethering, etc... Check out cleanROM SE. Very close to stock, every tweak you need, nothing you don't, just as stable as the stock ROM. My phone is exactly the way I want it now thanks to Scott and his awesome, awesome ROM.

Titanium Backup
Change fonts
tweaks like minfree manager to fix multitasking
look through this list https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Root&c=apps
reasons why i need root is removal of bloatware, tweaks, titanium backup, ad block, setcpu profiles and extra settings that devs put in their roms like eqs, button remaps, and wifi hotspot hack.
Can't wait till aokp or cm9 becomes stable. Gave aokp a try and that rom flies on this device.
Responses above pretty much covered it, as far as the benefits of root. But I have to disagree to some degree to the OPs comments on custom ROMs. It completely depends on the ROM and the developer. But my experience with custom ROMs, is that they can often be more stable than stock, and much better performance. Obviously, bugs need to be worked out early on, especially for ROMs that differ significantly from stock (like AOSP ROMs on HTC devices). But once the ROMs reach "maturity" they are often better than stock. And CleanROM is a good example of a ROM that is already stable, since it is mostly stock, but with lots of bloat removed, optimizations, and useful features.
That said, its only fairly recent where Android devices have high enough specs where performance isn't much of an issue on the stock ROM. Even with Sense, the One X is very smooth and responsive, and plenty of people will be just fine staying on the stock ROM. I am mostly on CleanROM due to the nice features like Advanced Power Menu, WiFi Hotspot, and button remap built-in.

Another thing you can do rooted is install the HTC apps that AT&T removed, including Flashlight and FM Radio.
I did it. Have root.
Any one have links to the button remap that's safe and works on 1.85? I want to do that the black bar with 3 dots drives me crazy.
The Cleanrom 3.0 SE does this. Just rooted last night and I'm loving it. Makes the xda app so much better

If you don't want to unlock the bootloader, you can still install the 3-dot menu mod. You'll need an app like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (that lets you browse the system files). Unzip the file from the thread, copy to the appropriate places. You will need to mount the folder locations as R/W, and also make sure the permissions on each of the files you copy is right. Read through the thread for that mod for details.
I would recommend unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom recovery, just so you won't lose root after the next OTA (I recommend TWRP, cwm seems a bit unstable and there are reports of sd wipes). In the dev forum there is a thread that steps you through keeping all of your settings, I would check that out

Hi everybody:
I need to ask this: what its the difference about the forum "One X android development and One X Original Android Development" until this day I only used roms from "One X android Develepment" but I see in the other post are roms too....
I installed cocinated roms on my HTC ONE X LTE AT&T, Im from version 2.20... but If I decided to install again the original factory rom ( version 2.20 ) nothing happen with my phone ? and If I decided to get it again, where can I get the original version version 2.20 and how to reinstall it ?
just ask because I try several cocinated roms ( the last used its viper rom ) but in this last rom my phone battery its drain very very fast, and with the original version 2.20 ( without a root ) the battery have a good life....
please, any help with this questions ? please ?
Android development is mods, tweaks, kernels and ROMs that have to do with sense based software.
Original android development has to do with raw Google software, I.e. aosp ROMs and kernels. Contains aosp, aokp, PA, miui.... in short its Google software without any manufactured overlays. Hope this helps

yes that its my question, how if I dont feels good with install any cocinated rom, so No go back at all, just only stay root my phone but install the original factory room ( you say RUU ) , I just say this because I remember when I update my phone to the version 2.20 ( without root ) my battery its very fine because its longer life....
If I want to do this, where can I get that RUU and how to install it, and if I can do this, nothing happen with my phone ?
Nothing will happen, although you will lose root and you will be relocked :thumbdown: but very easy to root and unlock again :thumbup:
One more question before I provide the correct ruu, you are 100% sure it was version 2.20 before you rooted?

Keep in mind several things:
1) Battery meter when you flash a ROM is not accurate. You need to use the phone for a couple days until the meter re-calibrates itself. Charge to full, then drain to 10-20%, and repeat a couple times to get the most accurate calibration. You need to do this every time you flash a new ROM, otherwise the battery meter readings can't be trusted.
2) Rooting in itself does not affect battery. Its not a matter of root versus non-root that is causing battery drain (my feeling is that the meter is just not calibrated, per item 1 above). Other causes for battery drain may be mis-matched radio and RIL. You can try a different radio.
3) If you just want to revert to the stock 2.20 firmware, you can try flashing the stock pre-rooted version here.
I wouldn't recommend running the RUU just to get back to stock ROM. You would have to relock the bootlaoder, run the RUU. Then unlock bootloader and re-install TWRP if you ever want to install custom ROMs again. Flashing the pre-rooted ROM I linked is just much easier.
4) Make a nandroid backup in TWRP next time, before flashing ROMs. That way, you can just revert to the old ROM, if the new ones you've tried are giving you any issues.
5) What the heck does "cocinated" mean? I Googled it, and aside from an obscure Twitter feed with no posts, this thread is the top result!

I always have a nandroid (TWRP backup) around, in case anything goes wrong flashing or doing other mods. At least on your computer, that you can load onto the phone. But on the phone's SD itself is the safest place to keep one (if you can afford the space).
Don't have to make a nandroid of every ROM you flash. But at least one known good one, that you can revert to in case of trouble. I always do a nandroid of the stock ROM (after bootloader unlock, root, etc) in case I want to revert to it. But its not completely necessary. Just a known good, working ROM.

Im so used to flashing custom roms that i have to ask is it easy just to flash the stock rom back?
Ideally id like to put everything back to stock even the recovery tbh so they cant get confused if TWRP loaded up by mistake like it does some times if the battery goes flat.

Maximus HD
S-ON

Load up the SourcE Rom and see if you like that. It is stock(ish) with audio improvements.
edit: so many to choose from
or ZenRom that's another good one.

Stock 4.1? should i not at least be looking at stock 4.2.2?
Im so used to flashing custom roms that i have to ask is it easy just to flash the stock rom back?
Ideally id like to put everything back to stock even the recovery tbh so they cant get confused if TWRP loaded up by mistake like it does some times if the battery goes flat.

I agree with you, taking everything back to stock is a good idea. Not sure where you are located, but it should be easy enough to find the stock RUU for your phone/carrier. When you install the RUU, it will automatically include the stock recovery as well.
RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1 .06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed
that was the RUU i used............
Just to make you laugh i tried for over 5 hours to run the RUU then remembered i needed to relock the bootloader lol
