Anyone rooted? How is Jellybean on AT&T One X? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hello. I have the Samsung Galaxy S3 and want to switch back to the One X due to its awesome screen. I initially didn't like the One X due to the overbearing Sense (especially the multitasking, I hated that side scrolling thing). Are there stable builds od Jellybean available? If you tried them, how is your experience with it?

I'm using CM10 on my One X and love it. So much faster and more responsive than sense.

After I rooted I went to CleanROM 4.5 and I loved it. I enjoy sense, I just was much nicer on CleanROM thats for sure. But this is my first ever android phone, so i wanted to experience stock android. That's when I flashed CM10. I Gotta say, man is it ever smooth! This phone runs amazingly with Jelly Bean, its so fast so smooth and just so much better than sense.
I have owned every iphone up until now, and man, it was the right choice to change!

I only played around with CM10 for a short time yesterday, so others can certainly speak on the matter better than I. But seeing as you haven't received a great many responses so far, here is my 2 cents:
Short answer is that JB is very young, and things are changing quickly and often.
The general UI is very smooth, and works very well. But there are still various bugs being worked out on certain aspects, which may or may not be a deal breakers for you (for now), depending on how you use your phone. On the 8-26 nightly, streaming audio was broken (Pandora didn't work at all) and even playing non-streaming music (MP3's on the SD) mostly did not work. It looks like this may have been fixed on the 8-28 nightly. But things are changing literally day by day, and not always for the better due to upstream changes. Seems that in call volume has gone back and forth from fixed to broken, for instance.
Video camera is mostly fixed on nightlies that are labelled EXPERIMENTAL in the file name, broken in the ones that do not. I say "mostly" because the output was good most the time, but 1 time out of maybe the 10 tries I made, the output was still garbled. Again, this is something that may get ironed out very soon. The dev mentioned they just got a open source version of the phone's camera software, and he sounded very optimistic this would help remedy the camera bugs.
Everyone's requirements for what makes a daily driver is different. But for me, there are enough issues to wait longer for the bugs to be worked out. No knock on the devs at all. Their hard work is totally appreciated. What has been accomplished is awesome (and in such a short time). But CM10 is still being billed as in an "early state". Some early adopters will have to tolerate some bugs to have the cutting edge, that's just how it always is. For those that need a more stable product, we'll have to wait a bit.

Yeah building on what he said, CM10 is stable enough for a daily driver (and has been for awhile) as long as you don't need your video camera. Things break here and there but as long as you pay attention to the thread then you will know what to expect from what builds. And btw the streaming audio was fixed in 8-28, used it this morning.

Hey guys, just found this thread.
I am very interested in the one x but do not want anything to do with sense! Assuming I get a one x with 1.85 firmware or earlier, do you think there is enough development going on to get a extremely stable cm10 (or cm9) build for this phone?
It feels a little big to me and the power button could be in a better place, but I like everything else about the phone.

Besides the video camera, LTE also seems to have problems? Browsing through the thread I see people have to set a bunch of settings after every reboot for LTE to work. That can be a big issue for me.

How is jellybean?? As rick Ross would say. Like making love to the woman of your dreams, in a room full of money out London and she screams.

I love Jellybean, but more importantly I don't think I'll ever go back to a non-AOSP based ROM. The devs who work on Sense ROMs do an amazing job removing bloatware and speeding up what HTC gave us, but you can't match the speed of software that was designed from the ground up to be sleek and smooth. Plus I just enjoy the customizability of AOKP and CM10.
My personal preference is CM10, mainly because of battery life and the small tweaks that are unique to CM10 (for now). As others have stated there are some stability issues with Jellybean, but there are bugs in all software and in time they will be worked out. Make a full backup in TWRP and just try flashing CyanogenMod for a day to see if you like it. Titanium Backup Pro offers complete backups of all app data and even SMS, so I am constantly flashing new ROMs without much risk of permanent data loss.

I don't know. LTE works for me. Noticed it when I went to work today. Btw LTE just got switched on in Wilmington, DE. I never had to change any settings, it just worked.
Edit: I remember I was on CleanROM (forget which version, but it was quite awhile ago, I think it was based on 1.85), then moved to AOKP M6, then to CM10.
Sent from my One X using xda premium

Yep, lte has always worked for me as well (cm10 and aokp). I did come from cleanrom though (started with version 1). I switched to aokp jellybean and it's been more stable and honestly, smoother than cm was. That was back on the 8/16 version so things may have changed. Since I can't comment on the newer releases of cm, I will say that the aokp jellybean release is extremely smooth overall. As with cm, camera and video still have issues. My personal opinion though, is that neither aokp or cm are as stable, smooth, complete as cleanrom de was. They are getting close though and definitely close enough that I have no desire or need to go back (though clean de was/is a heck of a rom).

CM10 is surprisingly polished.
Most things thats is important will work and MiLocker works really well on it too.
Most Awesome feature is the ability to remap the buttons.

Getting better every day and tonight's build should have 100% working cameras in the nightly builds. No more experimental builds. I highly suggest cm10, haven't tried miui or aokp jb releases yet, been in cm10 for close to two weeks and can tell you it's really dd material now. Most kinks are gone, and battery life is usable even with wake locks. And with a new build everyday, only getting better constantly.

Cm10 is amazing....video camera is 100% as of the latest 8/31 nightly
Lte is an issue if u did not come from a sense 4.0.3 ROM such as stock 1.85 senseless 1.1 or clean ROM 4.0.
I never have issues with lte I never go into settings to change anything.
The one gripe is battery life is not as good as it was on sense first day on cm10 is worse it gets better every charge but its maybe 80-90% wat it was on sense. I still go the whole day 15+ hours and still have 40% batt I just charge every night now no big deal its worth it tho whole experience is so much better

you should also know that there is a low volume issue on calls. The person at the other end will hear you as if you were wispering if you talk normally.
I hate screaming at my phone. Developer has tried increasing the mic volume but than it brings in-call echo.
Hopefully they can get it squared away but be ready to talk loud or repeat yourself during phone calls. weird part is that SIP calls (like with Skype) works fine.
I am still running the ROM and loving it.

[Q] CM7 users...

Hows the experience on the Inspire? Any issues?
Just wanted to find out if its worth going through the process. It seems a little more involving than other rom installations.
Works great. Sound sucks. I missed the nicer camera app so I switched back to stock rooted oc
Ill hold off for now then till the sound is fixed.Thanks
The tinny sound may be fixed by Turbonium if his thread is right. I will be testing it tomorrow.
Other than that I love it.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
There is nothing like CM. Smoother than anything and fast. I just applied the sound fix and its as close to stock sound as I can remember. I forsee that fix being cooked into all Inspire kernels moving forward.
Which version would be the best to use? I think theres like 2 or 3 plus the nightlies?
I'm using the nightly #7 and it rocks, though there is no support on nightlies (can't file bugs), they seem to be as reliable as a stable build. If this doesn't convince you, RC 1 is also available which works just as good. BTW sound has been fixed here, I just tried it and it works as stated. The only thing I miss from a Sense based ROM is the Connected Media app to be able to watch videos on my HDTV and the Camera app, but I can live with CM7 without those apps.
I'm using RC1 and it's amazing.
Sent from my CM7 Inspire
I got the buggered cwm from another rom and almost didn't bother fixing it to get cm7.
glad I did. After flashing the latest nightly and the sound fix this is with out a doubt the best rom I've used and in general the best android platform I've used. Snappy, smooth, and as a galaxy s defector GPS and everything else simply works. Hard to believe this is an unfinished rom as its still in RC status. The guys building this thing obviously know wtf they are doing.
I recommended any one who has an inspire flash this ROM.
Sent from Inspire 4g CM7 nightly 8.
I second this. I have no clue as to why it would be called RC if it feels like premium quality software.
I flashed it a couple hours ago.Im gonna give it more time but I really want to go back to Coredroid. It feels about the same on the speed and smooth factor but without the sense I kinda feel like I was back on my captivate.Sense has me sold I think.
I see a lot of posts here about CM 7, so are people just flashing CM 7 that's for the Desire HD or is it one specifically for the Inspire? Just wondering because I ordered an Atrix and I don't see as much development going on for it when compared to the development for the Inspire. But maybe that has to do with the locked boatloader. I'm going to test it and out for a day or two and if it's not up to my standards, I'm going to exchange it for the Inspire.

[Q] HFS or Paranoid Android for ICS ROM

With the recent lag fixes, superchargers and browser fix, and youtube work arounds, no more data drops, phone calls actually working, aside from video recording i don't really see any more big bugs associated with ICS Roms. I have decided to try out an ICS ROM. I looked through the forums about the best ICS Roms and see those two as the consistent winners, so it would be great if someone could give me to choose one over the other.
P.S. Also, the first sentence is just my assumption that there are no more major issues with those roms, but if there are any more big issues like gps not working or maybe some of the fixes I mentioned above aren't included in all current ICS roms it would be appreciated if someone pointed that out. Thanks
Paranoid +1
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I usually always use Domination, although I have a soft spot in my heart for HFS since it was my first ICS ROM. Currently using the new version of Genesis and actually don't have any plans to try out Paranoid.
You're going to have to do what we all do and just try the ROMs yourself. Plus, it's fun switching ROMs every once in a while!
I've tried them all, and I always come back to Genesis. IMO, it's the most customizable, and the newest Stable build runs great.
But, try them all out. Don't take anybody's word on which is best, they all have pros and cons. You just have to figure out which one fits you the best

I am trying paranoidandroid right now and I am waiting for Tony, I think it is, to get the data fix from the EB team because the data drops are kinda annoying. However, everything else works fine, except it can be a bit laggy sometimes but that of course is because of the lack of hardware acceleration.

Which Jellybean Rom to use?

There seems to be quite a few jelly bean roms right now, and without an official leak, I am sure each one has its ups and downs at this point.
I am coming from synergyrom, and want to give JB a try. Since theres is still "beta" I am not sure I wanna try that right away.
Which is the most stable at this point??
Definitely liquid smooth...I've tried others and always revert back to touch wiz stock based roms, and i despise touch wiz...liquid smooth jb is the best I've flashed
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
liquid smooth is awesome for aosp JB, but touchwiz there's not much thats super stable imo
thanks for the input so far!
Please note if there are known issues, that might help make decisions too.
Thanks all!!
I like codename. Super smooth, frickin' fast and barely believable battery life! Some apps don't stream audio over bluetooth and you have to enable a couple of Developer options to address screen flickering, but those are truthfully very minor annoyances you'll be happy to overlook when you get a taste of that ROM.
Seriously, try it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900479
I've tried both liquid and codename. They are both very very similar. I can't find cant difference in customization between the two.
Codename ran a little warm for me, not saying liquid runs cool but still.
The reason I jumped to liquid is because in codename (for me anyway) the 160 character MMS bug still persisted, it does not in liquid.

I can respect that. Haven't tried liquid as the CNA ROM got posted around the time I got this phone. I've heard the 160 character error msg is a bit of a red herring, that the msgs actually do get sent but just say they didn't. Was that your experience or did they actually not get sent?
One of the biggest issues with JB roms is if your not in a 4G area then be prepared for some non stop 3G data drops. Also I've noticed weaker signal strength in both service and wifi.

There is a fix for this now but just has not made it's way into all AOSP roms yet. There are in most of the newer AOKP builds right now.
The biggest issue still is the low volume when recording video's. This is an issue in all AOSP roms and has not been fixed yet. I know I also read a lot about speakerphone and in call volume problems but not sure to much about the actual issue.
This is why I am still sticking to an ICS TW Rom. I like knowing everything on my device just works.
The only major thing that keeps from moving to CM10, or Liquid Smooth is the lack of USB Audio. I leave my phone on my dock at work and stream Pandora through the dock's usb audio. I've been using SynergyROM for awhile now, and will probably stick with it until the USB Audio issue is fixed.
AOKP's new build has been great for me. No real issues to report yet...been on it since 3 came out a week or so ago?
i haven't been too impressed jb at all tbh.
Well there's two routes you can go to get your JellyBean fix, and that's either AOSP or TouchWiz.
Touchwiz: You've got two choices.
- You could go with Synergy JB 0.2 beta which is based off the AT&T leaked JB touchwiz build. I personally have not ran it so i can't comment on how well it works, but i use synergy as my touchwiz choice of roms, and was never disappointed by there work, so i'm sure the JB build is working great.
- There is also Jellywiz which is made by Incubus, he's been basing his off the latest leaks, and has a few builds out. One of them is a custom build which just has a few theme changes, and a few other things added in/changed. There's a lot of praise in that thread for his rom, the only bug i had when trying it was that i could not get voice and data to work at the same time (phone calls and web browsing at the same time) But that is because its not based off a verizon leak and until then probably will not work.
AOSP: We'll you've got a lot of options, there's a few here on XDA and then some more on Rootzwiki, so i won't be giving detail on all of them, just a few. But they will all generally 'look' the same, by that i mean because they are all based on AOSP source it'll have the same look to it, since source looks the same.
-CM10: Well it's your basic CM that you've grown to love (or hate ) you can expect nightlies, and things to get fixed in a timely matter. If you used CM7 or CM9 on previous devices then you'll know exactly what to expect. Its built directly from source and you can expect it to be speedy quick.
-AOKP: It's built from source as well just like CM10, but has more options in it, and generally more customization as well. If you use it it'll look a lot like CM10, but it'll have added in bonuses
-CodeNameAndroid: Again built from source, but with codename you've got a ton of customization thrown in, there's a lot of stuff from different AOSP options thrown into it. Right now the Navbar doesn't work without flashing a separate file, but that's not a huge problem since its just a little file to flash. I personally am using it right now and its been great to me, can't really complain about it at all
-LiquidSmooth: Built from source, those that have used a liquid rom before will know exactly what to expect. It will be speedy quick and smooth as hell. You'll find plenty of butter in it as well, they've got there own liquidsettings that'll allow you to do even more customization, and i give them major props, i've currently got them going on my old thunderbolt which is my backup phone, but also used them on my OG Droid and i can vouch that they will provide an amazing rom for users
There are more AOSP Roms over on rootzwiki, but its again the same general thing, each AOSP rom comes from source, but each developer will theme/modify/add/remove/customize to there own liking to provide you with what they feel is the best user experience. The biggest difference between the Touchwiz JB roms and AOSP is that with AOSP you'll have a lot more options going and it'll be stock jellybean, no touchwiz nonsense to hold you back. Some people love the touchwiz stuff and that's fine, but some will love having pure jellybean on there phone and being able to take advantage of that. I'll tell you honestly 100% that AOSP will be faster no matter what touchwiz rom you run.
Oh and kernel wise, i fully stand behind imoseyon's lean kernel for AOSP roms, i've always used imoseyon's kernel's and have always gotten amazing battery life on my GS3 and thunderbolt.
Phew i really hope this helps you with any decision you may have
***If i missed any Touchwiz or AOSP roms i do apologize, i don't know them all off the top of my head, so please don't think that just because i left yours out that i meant it in a bad way***
What are the general downsides with using these JB roms weither it be TouchWiz or AOSP. I'm going to take the jump soon but whats fixed or unfixable? I hear some people say screen flicker and no 3G etc.

thanks a bunch for the big write-up. I do live in an area that is partly 3g, part 4g, so I am a little concerned about these data drops.. Has this been fixed in the AOSP roms mentioned above?
I would hold out a few more weeks for a touchwiz based rom - I tried Incubus' and got a number of random reboots. Cleanrom 2.5 has been working great!
Currently, all the AOSP roms have the same issues -
- data drops, esp on 3g/4g handoff. There were some recent commits that claim to have fixed this, I'm not sure if it did and which rom's include it
- potential for IMEI loss or brick. Again, you should back up IMEI before any flash, I don't think these issues are present on TW
- TW camera is better. There's an AOSP JB camera mod but hasn't been updated for the newer builds yet
- GPS locks. I keep reading about this in the AOSP rom's, I don't know how common this is.

Data drops were indeed fixed
Imei issues can happen when flashing anything from radios to kernels to roms both touchwiz to aosp. It can also easily be restored.
Tw camera only has a few more features, but in terms of quality their both equal to me. Once the aosp mod is updated it'll be even better.
GPS lock is simple, just get a full lock before flashing aosp and then while having it locked boot into recovery and do your thing.

How good is CM10 on the One X?

I used to have a ONE XL on AT&T back when they first came out, but I suffered from the delayed push notifications on wifi bug that was apparently pretty prevalent, so I returned it. I was planning to get a Nexus 4, but after seeing all the reviews about poor battery life, mediocre camera, etc., I'm now not so sure about that. One thing I do love is stock android. I despise Sense and other manufacturer skins/bloat. So when I saw that CM10 had a stable release for the One XL, I am considering come back to the One XL. I loved the build quality and LOVED the camera.
Anyways, so my question is this-- how good is CM10 stable on the One XL? Is it as fast and stable as the stock HTC rom? Does everything (bluetooth, gps, wifi, notification LED, etc.) actually work properly?
I see two threads in this forum that give me some concern. One about messed up wifi on CM10, and one about messed up GPS on CM10. Are those threads unusual? Or are wifi and GPS problems on the One X common on CM10?
Also, does anybody remember the delayed push notifications on wifi bug that plagued the One XL when it was first released? Does anybody know if that is completely fixed on CM10?
Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!
Edit: And yes, I posted a similar question in one of the CM10 threads but wasn't getting much feedback, so I decided to start a new thread.
Wifi bug spoils the experience
I also love to use the vanilla Android Experience and have tried CM10 nightlies every now and then with hopes that Wifi bug will be fixed but it hasn't been fixed as of now. The UI is smooth as butter, the camera is good too but, for me, the battery life was very bad with CM10. I'd rather go with CleanROM V till the CM10 wifi bug is fixed.
I felt that the camera UI, Panorama and Burst photo capability of Sense is second to none and that is the one reason I keep moving back to Sense based ROMs every time I find CM10 wifi bug is still there.
WiFi an GPS work on mine with Cm10.
Always has for me, hit an miss for a few.
YMMV

Thanks for the responses. I know the aosp camera doesn't have as many features, but is the quality of pictures taken with cm10 as good as the pictures taken with stock sense camera?

Were WiFi and battery life the only issues you had with cm10 or were there others too?

Pictures taken with a Sense based ROM are better (more features, sharpening, imagesense chip, ect). That said, the camera on CM10 does work pretty well anyways. I've been running CM10 for a while now, and I don't have any complaints. Once the new camera in Jellybean 4.2 hits our device it will be much better.
Been running flawless. Not a problem since using the stable CM10 build.

I used to have a ONE XL on AT&T back when they first came out, but I suffered from the delayed push notifications on wifi bug that was apparently pretty prevalent, so I returned it. I was planning to get a Nexus 4, but after seeing all the reviews about poor battery life, mediocre camera, etc., I'm now not so sure about that. One thing I do love is stock android. I despise Sense and other manufacturer skins/bloat. So when I saw that CM10 had a stable release for the One XL, I am considering come back to the One XL. I loved the build quality and LOVED the camera.
Anyways, so my question is this-- how good is CM10 stable on the One XL? Is it as fast and stable as the stock HTC rom? Does everything (bluetooth, gps, wifi, notification LED, etc.) actually work properly?
I see two threads in this forum that give me some concern. One about messed up wifi on CM10, and one about messed up GPS on CM10. Are those threads unusual? Or are wifi and GPS problems on the One X common on CM10?
Also, does anybody remember the delayed push notifications on wifi bug that plagued the One XL when it was first released? Does anybody know if that is completely fixed on CM10?
Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated!

CM10 has been flawless for me. I did have battery issues soon after my flash, but discovered the reason (Spotify burning immense background data), and once I fixed that it's been great. I get two days of use on one charge, with about 2-3 hours of screentime. CPU set to ondemand, min 192, max 920. No performance lag whatsoever.
Wifi has been no problem for me. GPS is only an issue for navigation, but if you start nevigation and then press home to run it in the background, it gives you turn by turn. I also believe that that issue was fixed, but I can't remember where I read that.
As you probably know, the stable build was released a few days ago. I haven't had any crashes or force-closes, or any other issues.
Pictures with sense are better than AOSP because Sense contains HTC's proprietary Imagesense tech, which is undoubtedly fantastic. That said, unless you really need great pictures, CM10 pictures are perfectly good.
Don't use bluetooth myself, can't vouch for it, but the only issues I've seen have been resolved or are obscure. LED notification works perfectly and can be customized lots in CM10, which is useful.
CM10 running sweet for me on a Telstra HTC One XL.
Haven't had any major dramas. 4G is working, wifi is working,and my battery life is a fair bit better than the stock ROM.
Download install and test it for yourself.. every phone will act differently

This thread has some comparison pics between Sense and AOSP:

Bottom-line: Sense is a little bit better, especially for panoramas - but I think the difference is overstated by most people.

The video camera on cm10 records a very high pitched sound you hear on playback. Its an interference between the two mics while recording. Its a feedback.

Figured I'd throw in my 2c.
I found the Bluetooth gimped, at first (pre Nov) it was very bass'y and hollow sounding on my car stereo, using the latest nightlies it's better but still doesn't sound as good as stock, (yes I disable Beats Audio). Also the stock CM camera sucks a **** compared to the sense one.
AAAnd, no project butter support (yet), so it's not as speedy as it should be.

Loving the CM10 and its forks stable for me never really get random reboots or anything like that. Don't use to much blue tooth though and I know that has had rough times.

it drains fast!

My Experience with CM10

My experience with CM10.0 on the Rogers HTC One X has not been very good! My first impression of the ROM was like WOW this is as buttery-smooth as advertised! I loved everything about it. But after 2 days of use I noticed the following:
1. My battery drains way faster than before
2. Google Navigation works for a minute than my 4G drops completely and naturally, navigation stops working as well.
3. My contact names stopped showing up on SMS. All my contacts were just represented by their phone numbers.
With all these horrible bugs, I had to go back to CleanROM. Which is really sad cuz I love Jellybean
What's your experience been like?

I have been using CM10 exclusively for about 3 months now so it's stable and has great battery life (easily 20 hours of normal usage for me). There are bugs but I have learned to either fix them on my own or live with them. It's way better than using Sense in my opinion. CM10.1 is my current ROM and I'm loving how responsive it is, so great things are coming!
Development for both CM10 and CM10.1 were halted basically all through December, and now that the devs are working with Android 4.2 I doubt there will be any groundbreaking improvements to CM10. h8rift is working hard on getting CM10.1 to a daily-driver state, though, so hopefully it won't be too long!

Where was the battery bug reported? I can't find it. Would like to follow progress on that front.

I think cm10 is good rom. You might need to switch off the gps and sync while not using it. Hope this help.
As long as I stick to wifi (or alternatively use 2g if I'm doing something low data rate like IM), cm10 works well for me.

also for #1 dont forget to turn NFC off wont drastically change it but itll help with battery
Ive use the stock one with sense and it worked great, but since i like to mod my phone i installed CM10 and its working good to, not perfect but good, the phone its really great and im happy using stock or cm10, this is a great phone :highfive:
My experience with cm10 is not good. Battery drains to fast ...
I'm able to get about 12-14 hours on CM10 pretty easily. For the guys who have sucky battery life, here is something to try. Once you install everything and give the ROM a couple of hours to settle, go into recover and do a backup, then wipe everything and then do a restore from the backup you just made. It's pretty much the equivalent of defragging your computer hard drive.
Every few weeks when my phone gets laggy or I feel like battery is draining I do this, and it picks right back up. This was recommended by Turge (HTC ONE X Venom Developer) and it works really well for me.

You haven't used an AOSP ROM that uses the 4.2 camera have you? It's not quite as good as the Sense camera but it's dang close. You can flash the 4.2 camera on Cm10. The thread is in the themes and apps section.
I've never actually used CM10 bit I've used tons of AOSP ROMs that are pretty much all based on CM10 and have none of the issues from the OP. I get great battery life, my gps works perfectly, and all my contacts show up perfectly as well. Maybe give another ROM a try. I use JellyBam with Rohan's kernel and it's just about perfect.

I've found battery life to be reasonable, especially on wifi. Make sure to turn location settings such as background reporting off. These drain battery life tremendously. Also I have found the sense camera to be far better.
I have had similar problems:
- since the sept 13th nightly mms photo previews is broken.
- camera in panorama mode crashes the whole os sometimes
- battery life could be better
- I've noticed bugs when trying to search contacts in the phone app via dial pad (hanging until I restart the phone app )
That's all I can recall. Overall cm is very nice though and I love the speed and having google now. These are bugs I've noticed in the stable version.
Battery drain is awful on all non-Sense based ROMs. You need to disable almost every useful service on the phone to get a long full day out of it. THis is one of the reasons I went back to running Viper (de-Sensed) with Nova. Battery is MUCH better :good:
I have had most of the issue mentioned above as well as rebooting multiple times a day

I fully agree, it seems to me like Sense ROM's are the only way to go if battery life is a concern. After using the official CM10 rom and variants like JellyBam and comparing them to ViperXL, there's just no contest. Non-Sense roms just aren't optimized well. Things like wakelock issues really put a dent in expected battery life.
That said, the AOSP theme just looks better. I can't get over how ugly the pattern unlock is for sense compared to AOSP!
AOSP is just cleaner, more refined, and more current. I hope battery improvements can be made, but I really doubt it'll be anytime soon.
I have been using CM10 since November, and I never have any GPS problem. Battery isn't bad, as long as it lasts full day I am fine with it.
