One S --> One XL? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

just wondering would it be possible that One S roms get ported to the One XL? I know that they have the same chipset so theoretically it should work right. I am contemplating if I should sell my One XL and get the International GSM One X since it has more development options and ROMs etc :L

Nobody will stop you from going over to the International One X. Of you want a One S ROM ported, why not try it yourself? We have great devs and dev teams here, not sure why you'd complain about it.

I'm pretty sure the new ones do have a 1.7ghz s3... I frequent the one s forum too since my gf has the phone. The older one s has a 1.5ghz dual core s4 just like us...
It's on Wikipedia if you dont believe me lol.
Team venom makes roms for both phones, might want to give them a ring if you're curious about portability.

True. I wasnt complaining about the development here because I'd great but I can't help but notice the wider support for the One X and S.
Anyway I was just curious about what other people thought and it'd be a bit of a hassle for me to swap to a international ver. Since team.venom are here I'm happy for now. And plus the XL is rare, especially here in Australia. We also get 32gb storage unlike most of u who only have 16gb on AT&T ;P

The screen resolution is very different between the S (540 x 960) and XL (720 x 1280). So on top of any other differences (CPU, etc.), a bunch of the graphics in the UI would need to be re-scaled. It can be done, and ports from various devices with different resolutions has happened in the past. But it adds all that much more work. Unless the ROM is going to bring something really new to our device, there isn't much point in all the work.

[Q] Which to choose?

I posted this in the One X forums and have no replies and 63 views. I hope you guys can help me with my dilemma. I bought the Inspire off contract at the end of Feb last year and loved it. Qualified for my upgrade in Dec and upgraded to the Vivid near the end of Jan and love it. The One X is the phone I am wanting. That being said I've only used Snapdragon processors and stuck with HTC. Internally, the AT&T version is identical to the Vivid, minus the S4 processor. I will be selling my Inspire to help get this phone, as I have to pay full price whichever route I go. I will have the full price for either device next month and would like to know which I should get? I am really not concerned with LTE as my area won't have for at least another year and I'm always on WiFi. The T3X I can get for $670, the AT&T S4X I will be able to get for $550. Rooting does not concern me at this point, my Inspire is rooted and my Vivid is still locked and stock. Can you please help me with this decision? I don't want to have buyers remorse later this year. I look forward to hearing your opinions.

If you live in a Lte area or upcoming Lte area, this decision should
be a no-brainer imo. I personally would take the s4 soc over the tegra3.
s4x > t3x imho

Nope, live outside of Memphis. They won't get LTE for at least another year, and we will get it prolly another year after that. I'm mostly on WiFi on my LTE capable Vivid.

So, regardless of being only on WiFi, you all would say still get the S4X? Cause I'm thinking the S4X will give me better battery life than the Vivid and the T3X combined. Not to mention the fact it will be cheaper than the T3X.

I think you just answered your own question.
I say go with the S4 version since it will be cheaper. A lot of people will use their AT&T upgrade on the phone just to flip it on Ebay for a profit. You will be able to get the S4 version of the One X for under 500.00.

Lol... Just wait for the at&t version. From what I've read, the one XL
has rock solid battery life with Lte. Hopefully that statement is true.
I think it comes down to how much you value developer support. The One X looks like it will have solid third party developer support, and while I suspect the One XL on AT&T will also have decent support, the international versions of phones usually have significantly stronger developer support.
So, if you were to go with the One XL from AT&T, you'd be trading that extra level of dev support for a lower price, valid warranty, higher performance*, probably better battery life, and LTE (where available).
If support for the One X/XL is anything like the support for the Galaxy S/Captivate, I'd say holding out for the AT&T release of the One XL would be well worth it.
*On most benchmarks.

Yup. Was going to pick one up on ebay a couple of days ago because
of that, but I decided I prioritize Lte and the s4 chip more.
It will have ****ty bloat and the logo but I'm cool with that. (It will get
removed ). You're in a no-lose situation if you decide to pick up the
one x or one xl.

Coming from an Inspire prior to the Vivid, I do value XDA developer support. However, without S-Off I refuse to root my Vivid. However, we are real close to that now. Short term, I don't mind running the phone stock, as that's what I did with my Inspire and now Vivid. I just waited til Thanksgiving to root my Inspire. Once the S-Off process for the Vivid is out, I will finally root it. So, I don't mind using the S4X stock until S-Off, if it ever is, achieved.

The Vivid's S-OFF process will require HTCDev Unlock to work, but with S-OFF you can conveniently change the **UNLOCKED** flag to **LOCKED**.

Um, no. That is not how multi-core processors work. Seems like you've fallen for marketing gimmickry, instead of actual facts. Few apps, if any are optimized to take advantage of 4 cores, so the only benefit you see is in running processes in the background, switching between tasks, and the like.
If you look at the benchmark comparisons, the S4 beats Tegra 3 in most of them. Some will argue that Tegra 3 wins in some benchmarks, so the difference is probably marginal, either way. But S4 may win for battery life, and Tegra 3 is also having lots of issues on the One X (as you mentioned).

I have the international One X. If I had a choice, I'd go with S4 over Teg3. It's a much more modern and efficient chip and from benchmarks performs almost equally. Battery life on the One X so far is pretty terrifying where the One S with the S4 chip seems to fare much better (but it doesn't have a mammoth display either). The international One X is also experiencing some bizarre graphics and performance issues which are probably Teg3 related as the Asus Prime had similar issues until it received a couple of updates. Since LTE is now integrated in to the SoC the One XL should probably have the best battery life of any LTE device currently available.

The Snapdragon S4 which is a Cortex A15 level SOC and a new micro architecture is more powerful. In most tasks the Snapdragon S4 will be the faster of the two. And in quite a few head to head tests, the S4 literally destroys The Tegra 3. The Tegra 3 is a Cortex A9. Like comparing a old Core 2 Duo to a Intel Sandy bridge chip.
The one XL with the snapdragon S4 will most likely be the fastest SOC CPU wise probably until next year or late this year other than other phones running that chip. There isn't a Cortex A15 due on the horizon until that time later this year. OMAP 5 will be such a SOC. And even it will probably be only on par with the snapdragon S4 not out gun it. And than you have the Exynos 5250 which is a quad core cortex A15 later this year or next year. But than again Qualcomm has the Snapdragon S4 Pro, a quad-core A15 level chip to match it.
That means the Galaxy S3 will still be most likely running a 32nm-based Cortex A9 Exynos mobile processor, the Exynos 4212. The Exynos A15 based 5250 will not be ready until later this year. There is a slight chance it will make it into the Galaxy S3 but the chances are slim since they have not produced any in any numbers for production and the S3 will be released soon. The Exynos 4212 is similar to the Tegra 3 but with a better GPU.
The iphone 5 will run the A5X a dual core Cortex A9 with a quad core GPU at 32nm. Again, older microarchitecture.
So essentially the Snapdragon S4 will make the One Xl one of the most powerful if not the most powerful smartphone for the foreseeable future. Regardless of the Samsung S3 and the iphone 5 if they run the above mentioned SOC's. Which most likely they will.
Hardware wise the One xl will have few equals. Other than the 16GB of memory, it is a beast.
There are some reports of issues with the One X international version connecting properly to AT&T's HSPA network, despite having the proper band compatibility (850/1900 MHz). Also, Tegra 3 is having some video corruption and other issues.
I too was slightly considering the international version for use on AT&T, due to the increased storage, and potentially more developer support. And also probably better battery life by using HSPA instead of LTE. But the issues with the international version so far have me deciding against it.
I was worried about the 16 gb storage as well until i used the one XL for the few days that I actually had in our offices. Dropbox is so tightly integrated with The OS that you don't even know that you don't have more than 16 GB on the phone that's how integrated it is.
I uploaded a bunch of photos to the gallery and every time I went to the gallery to retrieve them they were instantly they're like the pictures were on the memory the whole time! don't worry you have plenty of space as long as you keep your photos and videos to drop box. and 25gb is plenty

Yes, I'm saying that juopunut S-OFF uses HTCDev unlock as a part of its exploit, you need your bootloader to be unlocked before you can get S-OFF.

The problem is we don't even have enough developers work on S4. See we only have very less S4 Roms compared to One X and One AT&T(AKA One XL).
The S3 isn't as popular as S4. Although it will ship S3 in all countries outside US now but I see almost NO ONE going to buy it in HK(and all S4 sold here).
I believe the situation won't be better on other places. The One S S3 definitely is a failure. The Asus Padphone and some of China Android phones started to ship with S4 now. HTC told us Qualcomm doesn't has stocks isn't correct.
I don't really think the S3 Variant will become that popular. I know that it is being sold outside of the US now but most people who wanted a One S wanted it for the upgraded processor. I've seen a lot of threads about people who got the ''New'' One S and either returned it for an S4 or--more likely--changed it for another phone. Why pay for an S3 variant when you can get a One XL with the S4 or a One X with the Quad Tegra.
Exactly.
The replacement of S4 variants with S3 variants in markets where the S4 one had been sold will also affect warranty and repair related exchanges, however. I have had my S4 One S replaced by a S3 One S by HTC and am currently disputing with them to get an S4 version back.

Yes, but when did you buy it? Purchasing a S4 One S isn't the problem. The problem is purchasing an S3 One S for the same amount or buying an S4 variant only to have HTC send you a S3 when you need it replaced.

One X+????

So if you haven't seen engadet or other sites there seems to be a HTC One X+ POSSIBLY coming to ATT and would be running stock Android 4.1.1 could this have been the reason for the recent price drop? Is it worth holding out on upgrading until this is all cleared up?
I really have to ask, but what else could they do to make this phone better?
Ship it with jelly bean? Cmon that's not going to be worth it, especially if its just a 'slightly' upgraded phone
The one x+ is going to be a tmobile phone, its going to have a quad core tegra with jelly bean, so its not an upgrade from ours. This phone beats out the tegra

The One X+ is meant for T-Mobile, with a higher clocked Tegra 3, might be a newer T3 chip as well.
But yes, it will be running stock, but available through T-Mobile. Will give a link if needed.

we might soon but the devs are working their asses off and for every two steps they make forward at&t takes three steps back
The One X+ on AT&T would just be the international version with a slight overclock and an LTE radio, maybe a bigger battery. Not really all that great, and really it would be an awful move that would dilute the brand and create confusion due to the lack of a single flagship.
Now, if there was a One X on T-Mobile, that would be great, they don't have a true HTC flagship for this year.
The same would go for Verizon. They need a true HTC flagship phone, and preferably one that is just a Evo LTE in a different design.
Tmobile is said to be getting the hox+

XD we have a really stable cm10. I don't need a camera. My device has lte and the s4 at least on jelly bean is way faster than the tegra. Also look on your phone. Are you constantly having to delete stuff to make space? Chances are nobody needs extra space in the age of cloud storage. If it was a very little difference then it wouldn't matter but the tegra was rushed together in order for them to say they had the first quad core processor. It's old and it's sloppily built.

Yes I got to agree with you about the tegra 3 being rushed out, like a old car with a new engine duck taped in . Although about 16gb (more like 10gb) being enough data, I would say no. Yes, there is cloud but not everyone has a good/unlimited data plan (I only have 100mb for $50) which kinda counters the advantage of cloud technology.

Thinking about getting a nexus 4, Anyone else with me?

I really, really want the nexus 4 and I could sell my HTC One X on craigslist and get around $300 for it. Is anyone else doing this as well or am I just stupid and should I keep my HTC one x?
I will be jumping to the nexus for sure... After I see how early adopters fare with it.
After getting the one X I swore I would never buy another non-nexus phone. Granted the hardware on the nexus phones normally isn't the top of the line, but I never felt locked down in any way with the nexus phones. Want an unlocked bootloader, one simple command in adb and she is unlocked.
Also since there is only going to be one model all developers will be creating roms and kernels for just that nexus. No 4G models, or models with different processors, gpus, ect ect.
From what I have seen the specs will be good enough for me, as long as the battery life is as good as the one X and there are no production problems I will be grabbing one right away.

To the best of my knowledge, One X goes with Android 4.0 and "Sense 4"
And from what I've read One X+ has Android 4.1 and "Sense 4.1". [from HTCs website]
Either way, If you like Sense there are roms that have been modded so you get the latest version of sense on your phone.
If all you want is strict Sense 4.1, try CleanRom.
I stuck with the Sense roms for awhile, then went over to CM10, and now am at Liquid.
They aren't as much different roms, as Android 4.0 shipped on the One X and Android 4.1 shipped on the One X+.
And to answer the next, roms on different phones are generally different because yes, the specs are different. Where you may have a phone with a bigger screen and a hardware keyboard, I have a phone with a small screen and a touch screen keyboard. The specs are easily different, requiring some modding - would be required to get the same stable rom on both phones.
The one x + is running sense on top of jelly bean. Just be patient, and have faith in our devs. They will port it when it's ready.

Or is this different since the processors in the devices are different etc?

Bingo.
I have full faith in the Devs and can't believe the hard work they do to support all of our habits , I started flashing a month ago and I am totally addicted, finally feel like the money I spend on my cell phone plan and on the device itself has come full circle because of the hard work of developers.
In any event - thanks for confirming what I thought about the differences in processors and porting OSs to the XL. I'll keep my eyes peeled for when JB is released for the XL hopefully before the new year.
Got that right!

Hopefully a lot of super awesome stuff... I came from an inspire 4 g which has about 40 million available custom ROMs so I'm used to a large amount of development, I have found that the few developers that fiddle with the onexl 99% of them are really super awesome .. I'm just a flashslut tho..

I too had an Inspire and that phone benefited from the European Desire HD being the same phone. If you look at the International One X forum it looks just like the Desire HD forum, a lot of the same devs are there. Our One X doesn't have as many different ROMs as those other phones but the ones we do have are top notch. If the devs we have stay around here I'll definitely be a happy camper for the 2 years that I'll have this phone.

What was new in the sense that hox+ has? thought it was based on the 4.1 leak we already had?
