How can we help? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

As we all know, development & Support for our One XL is very poor compared to other phones like the One X Tegra, One S, EVO LTE and GS3.
What i have been doing in the past were how to videos and "Balanced" rom review videos for other devices and PC's as well. I would like to do more One XL videos and try to get it a little more popular and see what happens. Would you guys be interested in this? If so, let me know what kind of videos i could do for us, I'm open to Rom reviews, how to videos, and accessories videos.
I know I'm a developer but I also do enjoy using this phone and would love to see more attention brought to it before the One X+ kills it off for good.

I will be posting videos on the team nocturnal channel. http://YouTube.com/TeamNocturnalTV
Post the topics for the videos you would like to see me do

Good idea man

Start with rom reviews. You got half a dozen roms to keep you busy. :thumbup:
Accessories thread is by far the slowest part of our forums so maybe continue there with some more reviews.

(although noobs don't bother with stickies, especially on the mobile app) create a sticky thread reviewing roms, tweaks, homescreens, and hell, fookin quadrant scores with certain roms. The few devs here create awesome roms.
I've rooted my buddies gs3, and he can't find a stable/feature rich Rom to save his life

You really think the x+ will kill the one x? Not everyone is going to go strait to the x+ if at&t locks it down. Most of us here have an unlocked one x, so hopefully that will keep devs here for a little while longer.

I'd say development here is better and more active than the SGS3, at least the verizon version.
Exactly how many more ROMs do you need?

I think reviewing roms would be great and videos of the ones you think are worth it. I've recently started testing some roms out. I tried KingCobra and am now using Viper plan on testing some more. I may could help on some input.
But someone to do up to date rom reviews would be awesome

Wow man that's really awesome of you! Do some reviews of ROM's like Dev1's ICS vs Dev2's ICS. Comparisons, some cool themes you find, tutorials on how to edit the clock, lockscreen, etc. on different roms, stuff like that.
Once again the community appreciates your help!

keep the ideas coming and ill do the videos. Its much more relaxing then developing lol. I did a Miui install video last night and will do a full review tomorrow since ive had 2 days to test it by then.
Here is the Miui Video, I'm still new to this so dont be to harsh lol

I think it's great of you spending your time on it. Thank you!
The one thing I would stay away from that was mentioned was side by side, who's is better reviews. They are all hard work and it then becomes overly opinionated and can actually decrease the motivation of the "losing" devs. Your reviews will be great, and thanks for offering your time:beer:

How about guiding new development. I would like to attempt cook something but my damn head spins every time I look for info.

I would never bash anyone in any reviews, I don't want any negative attention lol. I just hope people wont think im taking sides since i have roms of my own and i have only showed one on YouTube and that was back in may. With that being said, i want to do more how to videos because i don't enough of those here.
As far as creating a rom of your own, read read read is all i can say, that is how i started and ask questions and use Google. But never ever use anyone's work no matter how small you think the file may be. Ive seen a few people here and there doing that and its not cool at all. that's a good way to get a bad rep off the bat.

Toolkit for when the phone is released

Hey guys / girls. I've been making toolkits for phones for a month now and they gained pretty good recognition. Would you guys be interested if I made one? I know it is early to ask, but the more input the better!

Look in my sig. I have the One X toolkit uploaded. One S shouldn't be that hard. I just have to switch the files, the wording in the script and the bat script commands. Will take about 20 mins or so.
How are you getting tons of rep by just making tool kits that uses a few lines for code.
Great work btw.

More like 200+ lines... lol (that's just for the GUI and commands).
The .bat scripts also take time to make. Finding the .img and all that stuff as well. It's not simple. I have to test it all and make sure they work with the commands that I set with the GUI.
Think about it. You click a button and it does the job for you. Less haggle and stress with it. People don't have to search around on how to do a million things. It's all in one tool.

Is any one still making roms for this device?

I know that making a rom takes a very long time but our device seems to only have 5-10 (maybe more) good/stable roms. every one else seems to be getting a lot more love. is it cause we have a miSense device?
Just because we don't have 30 CM9 roms with each a different name doesn't mean we don't have roms. It means we respect each others work and choose not to duplicate it and call it our own.

This. I honestly don't think we're lacking in types of rom that we have.
I mean, we have stock-tweaked, aosp, sense roms, CM roms, different versions of MIUI's. Hell, we even have JB in the making!
So, yes, they're still alive and making roms.
Well, the reason I don't complain is because I can't dev. There's just no time for it. Yeah I get jealous of other forums from time to time, but the alternative is learning how to make my own rom.
Better not to bite the hand that feeds you.
I personally think we have a group of great devs for this device who are very willing to share each others' work to benefit the community at large I am curious as to what TBalden has going right now cuz he's been awfully quiet lately.

I dont say much around here...but man oh man, i have to this time. First of all, a huge thanks to all the devs. I'd go by name but someone deserving would be left out...we may be short on kangs but we've got great roms. I'll take quality over quantity.
I had an ace previously. Dozens and dozens of roms, but they've just repeated themselves. There's only a handful of systems to be ported anyways.
Kernel development on this phone has been off the chains. Anything running on tbalden and kornyone's work has been smooth and slick.
Frankly, I knew when I got the phone that since sliders are kind of niche the scene would be smaller. Used the demo phone in the store to verify that cm was in a complete state. Which it most definitely is. Feeling pretty confidant that cm10/jb will reach completion.
Anyways, I'm probably gonna cry when this phone dies. Maybe you can sell me yours for a spare. Cuz if I ever have to turn mine in on insurance they'll probably try to hand me a different model.

It isn't anger you detect as much as it is frustration K7. What is plainly obvious to developers & other coders isn't so much to the rest of us just looking at the threads & available ROMs. I HAVE noticed though because of helping a friend out with an EVO 4G that many of the ROMs are little more than a redistributed but newly themed, customized & slightly altered versions of another popular ROM. Do that several times and you have 5 ROMs with little differences to the core program multiplied across 5 or 6 basic initial formats & you have plenty....kinda. If that was what was happening to the MT4Gs then we'd have 40+ ROMs 'listed' but few differences other than the new name.
This isn't meant to disparage any developers in other forums for other devices and it may very well be an isolated case but it is something I noticed.
Just my nickel's worth.....
I just don't understand the need to create new threads for topics that aren't new, insightful, or helpful
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda app-developers app
40 half baked shlt roms, or a couple rock solid good ones?

Also, it's good to mention that not every ROM for this device is at XDA.

Ok so where all the couple rock solid ones? The closest I've found is virtuous inquisition and even that has been giving me all kinds of issues lately. I don't want more ROMS necessarily, just one, vanilla, zero issues rom and id stick with this phone the rest of the year.

Moving on to the GS3. Thanks for all the support here!!

Hi everyone,
I'd just like to say that as of today I have sold my One S and decided to move on the the GS3. Why? Mainly because I'm looking for something with a better and larger screen. And the fact that HTC doesn't give a crap about development for our phones. The crappy bootloader unlock has been pissing me off, especially since I am on hboot 1.14 and I have to test different ROMs very often, needing to flash in fastboot every time. Without S-OFF, this phone can never archive its full potential, such as repartitioning the nand so that more GBs are allocated for personal use.
But this doesn't mean that I will completely stop developing for the One S. I will continue to update the ParanoidAndroid and AOKP JellyBean until or if they become official. I can't be the official device maintainer though. But the builds will keep coming and shouldn't have any major issues other than the ones in CM10. The kernels, however, will probably remain how they are now because it is nearly impossible to blindly develop and debug a kernel.
Thanks for all the support here; it was TONS better than the Galaxy Player community. I appreciate all the helpfulness and attitude in these forums and what a great dev experience I've had here.
thanks for all your work. I want the gs3 to but can't justify the price
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Oh wow unexpected! Hope you'll love your new device! I'm sure you'll be very missed around here.

Thank u so much and enjoy with your new phone. But now I feel sad, because your kernel gives me sooo goood battery life and a very smooth phone... You didn't make the two cores to be online like the other kernel here.
So what will I do when the jelly bean come to my phone, and some new updates?? I won't have your kernal anymore.
Now there is only one kernel which I prefer not to touch, only because of the dual cores which are always online.
Also there is not much devs here... I don't believe we will see other kernels here.
So you bought a new phone and that's great for you... But I feel that we lost someone very important - you ;(

I heard the S3 is cursed. You should probably get rid of it and get the 1S back. You know, for your own protection.
Just kidding. But seriously, please don't go :crying:

Thank you all for the best XDA community!

I don't always post replies but I'm constantly reading the posts and all of the great advice and tips all have posted have been great.

Yeah - I've had a few different devices and been in a few diffeernt XDA forums and his one is pretty good.
We can thank developers like utkaar099, turge, scrosler, bpbear and rohan (amongst others) for taking the time to provide excellent support for the roms they create. Guys like exad and redpoint73 are also very patient and helpful in spreading their knowledge and advice.
Enjoy it while it lasts though - I think we might lose a few to the HTC One......

OK I am having Happy Gilmore flashbacks. "I AM GOOD! You know what? You're a lousy kindergarten teacher! I seen those finger paintings you bring home and they SUCK!"
Alright seriously though, I have only kicked around the HP Touchpad and HOX xda forums and both of them are great. The TP dev'ing is slowing down just because its an older device but the thing didn't even come with Android so its a miracle that they even got it up and running. The fact that CM10.1 is currently semi usable is amazing.
For the HOX dev folk, its great(er). I have people ask me all the time what handy dandy new phone they should get but I keep telling them to get a last gen phone and come to XDA like I do. The HOX devs pump out so many great rom choices that can be used as (and are in my case) daily drivers. Sure I bounce around a bit but thats because I'm an unrepentant flash whore. With the inclusion of pie controls, ribbons and most recently HALO, the amount of customization is... alright I ran out of adjectives. Suffice it to say, THANK YOU dev community!

Why is it against the rules to ask for somones oponion?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
These are the same kind of questions as the "Whats your favorite case?" or... "Whos your favorite carrier?"... those don't get closed so I don't see why these have to be closed? Some people don't have time to flash multiple ROM's, and to be honest you can't really decide if it's right for you in one day... These kind of threads help narrow down the right ROM for you, chances are if other people like it, you will too.... just look at how many people use CyanogenMod.
But anyways back on topic, I would suggest using Cyanogenmod. Overall it is the fastest ROM I have found. Most people like fast, so if that's your thing go with Cyanogenmod. They are currently working on 4.3 Android, they have a version out already but SMS/MSM isn't working so I suggest to wait it out until they fix the bugs.
Viper ROM is great for customizations, however it won't be as fast as Cyanogenmod, at least in my experience it won't..
That's all I've got, I've narrowed it down to 2 ROM's for you. However if you feel daring and want to try out some more ROM's I suggest you look at the post counts of the ROM's thread and usually if they have more people posting in it it usually means it's a better ROM and has an active developer fixing all the bugs and what not.
Thanks and enjoy!
Okay, let's do some thinking here.
Hypothetically, if ALMOST everyone were to suggest the same ROM, what benefit would that bring for the other devs working on the ROM they're providing? What would happen if we all said leave your phone stock? Would you? It works, it's reliable, there are no bugs, and no problems for you to complain about.
So let's all try to play along with that idea for just a bit.
Leave your phone stock. Unrooted. Why? No problems or bugs for anyone because it's stable. :good:

It means their likings aren't the same as the majority of other people, or they need to work harder to make their ROM better.

It's considered to be very disrespectful to devs to say one ROM is better than another. And really, no ROM is better than another ROM. ROMs suit different people for different reasons, therefore nobody can definitively say ROM a is better than ROM b. Just flash a few and find out for yourself, it's REALLY simple.

These are the same kind of questions as the "Whats your favorite case?" or... "Whos your favorite carrier?"... those don't get closed so I don't see why these have to be closed? Some people don't have time to flash multiple ROM's, and to be honest you can't really decide if it's right for you in one day... These kind of threads help narrow down the right ROM for you, chances are if other people like it, you will too.... just look at how many people use CyanogenMod.
Thanks and enjoy!

Those don't get closed because its completely different. Products like cases/phones and carrier services are paid for. So I can easily see why these are allowed. Voice your opinion on what you paid for, and furthermore, att doesn't care what we say here. They get their money, they aren't discouraged if I say I hate their service.
Roms are different. A developer doesn't sit down and say "let me earn a pay check by building a new ROM". In fact, they do it in spare time, after their real job/friends and family. To say someone's volunteer work is bad and that you don't like it, and that a certain ROM is better is preposterous. Saying things like "well A is good for X, but I like to do Y, so I chose B" is a perfectly logical statement. Everything regarding a ROM is opinion based. They are all rock solid and do different things. What you choose depends on what you need the ROM to do for you.
To say a ROM is the best (is what these threads turn into) is plain stupid. Everyone has their own opinion, and should share it within reason.
So these Devs that do this in their free time certainly don't want to hear why a ROM is better than theirs, especially since nobody has an obligation to do this for us.
That's why these threads get closed.

But anyways back on topic, I would suggest using Cyanogenmod. Overall it is the fastest ROM I have found. Most people like fast, so if that's your thing go with Cyanogenmod. They are currently working on 4.3 Android, they have a version out already but SMS/MSM isn't working so I suggest to wait it out until they fix the bugs.
Viper ROM is great for customizations, however it won't be as fast as Cyanogenmod, at least in my experience it won't..
That's all I've got, I've narrowed it down to 2 ROM's for you. However if you feel daring and want to try out some more ROM's I suggest you look at the post counts of the ROM's thread and usually if they have more people posting in it it usually means it's a better ROM and has an active developer fixing all the bugs and what not.
Thanks and enjoy!

To be fair it's in the rules which I'm sure you read before posting right? And since your question doesn't take the dev's feelings into account when they do all this work for free, it could be said that your question makes you a ****ing ****
I have a personal preference for AOSP myself.

Actually.. I asked what wad your favorite Rom. I didn't ask what's your least favorite Rom. Therefore if a dev sees that his Rom is listed as somones favorite he would be happy not sad.
