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.

GF is going out of town and needs a stable rom with good battery life. I have fell out of the loop on most roms since I've gone from smartdroid berserk to bruce's cm10 back and forth.
Asking for personal experience on roms and battery life since if she goes out of town with CM10, video chatting is out of the question since front facing camera doesn't work.
Basically looking for: battery life, stability, and working front facing camera for gtalk video chatting.
Any and all suggestions welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time.

CM9 would be more stable and is still pretty good. It's no jelly bean or anything, but still a huge step up from sense.

it takes couple of complete cycles of battery ...to get the battery properly calibrated and also for the kernel to settle
so atleast after 3-4 complete cycles of battery ( 100-3,4 % and 3,4-100%) the battery life shows up properly

Perhaps you wanna give HyperNonSense a try. It's based on Sense 3.6 but stripped off most of the Sense stuffs to give you the AOSP look and feel. The good thing about this is that the base is stable, smooth and battery friendly. Most of the components will work without problems coz it's based on a stable platform. I've been using this for months without issues and it's rock solid.

I personally don't use the built-in Messaging (SMS/MMS) app. I always stick to GoSMS Pro and I've been using it for more than a year and it hasn't gave me any problems so far. I would normally disable the built-in MMS.apk and then set GoSMS Pro as the default messaging app and everything works well for me.

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

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.

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

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

As the title says, what's the best rom for the MT4GS? I've been playing around with a lot of roms, but don't seem to really like them. The fact that most roms are all over the place instead of a list also makes it hard to know how many roms there are for the phone.
Anyways, in your opinion, what's the best rom for this phone and why?
Go look in Weekends posts - he's got a huge list of ROMs,sorted by developer, with download links. Also other posts with lots of other useful stuff. As for my preference, I've been running CM9.1 r8 for a couple of months now and it's been fast, reliable with good battery life. Just trying Kornyone's Dec 22 CM10 over the Christmas break. Going well so far!

That is a very subjective thing. What is best for one person may not have features or stability in areas that another person requires. For me, to have everything on the phone work as it is supposed to work, with no weirdness or arcane voodoo incantations necessary to perform a task, requires a stock-based ROM. To date, no ROM other than a stock-based ROM can get everything on the phone to work as it was designed. Some come very close, but there are always little quibbles (the main one being the camera functions). I run Miktouch 0.7, which is based on the last HTC ROM, 1.63.531.2.

Hence the thread title starts with the word "OPINION."
Anyway, I'm definitely a cm10 fan now. Its very stable given the condition this phone was left to us by HTC and its more than I ever hoped for. AOKP JB is also quite solid, but for some reason the notification toggles are just so blah as compared to CM toggles (even in the ICS builds of both ROMs) that I can't get myself to use that rom actively. I thought since AOKP has more tweaks I'd like it but I found that it is unnecessary for me personally.

The new alpha 3 CM10 is definitely the best AOSP rom I've encountered so far for quite some time now. Very few things left that are broken, and I wouldn't consider any of them to be deal breakers. Battery life is very good too, and my God JB is smooth. I didn't think the difference would be so drastic between ICS and JB, but it is. You'll notice it through any transitions and apps opening and closing. It's not as zippy as ICS though. I'd say about 80-90% as fast.
Now that someone figured out the solution to the FC'ing Gallery, I'm now running the Bliss ICS 3.32 ROM from sun_dream. It is a Sense 3.6 ICS ROM that is very smooth, fast, and has excellent battery life as well as killer audio (using Beats and XLoud). From my experience, battery usage is nearly as good as the Miktouch ROM and way better than the CM ROMs. When I was originally using this, the gallery would constantly FC. I just couldn't deal with that. But that has been solved so now giving it another go.
I am not familiar with the 4g slide ROMS. My wife has an unrooted one that I would like to root. it has quirky issues that I would hope to get rid of and most of all gain better battery life. I noticed that there are camera issues. I don't totally understand what the 1080 video issue is but would like a functioning camera and video camera. Basically I am looking to be pointed at the more functional roms out there that will give her better than stock battery life. I have found virtuous being very good in the past and wonder if inquisition is a good bet. Any input would be great. thank you

If battery life is your primary goal, and fully-functional next, then Miktouch 0.7 is what you seek. Alternately, the Bliss 3.32 ICS ROM would work, as well, though it does not do 1080P video recording. 720P works, though. The only ROMs doing 1080P video recording are stock-based like Miktouch. I'm really enjoying this Bliss ROM since it is ICS with Sense 3.6. Very smooth.
MikMik ROMs were always the most stable, in my opinion.
For ICS, Virtuous was nice enough and I heard that Bliss was just a better Virtuous, but JB ROMs, in particular, JellyBAM has been even better than any ICS ROM I've run on this device...

Thanks Fuzi, I figured that from your other posts. And thank you rory for your insight on Bliss.
I rooted and s-off her phone last night and flashed JellyBAM. Wire trick was fun, never had to do that before. I will see how this does with apex launcher and maybe try two of the others you guys suggested, over the weekend. Thanks again for the insight.

I love the look and smoothness of the JB ROMs, but the keyboard issues and other little quirks keep me from running them full-time.

Have you tried JellyBAM? I was having issues with the keyboard in PACman v17 and v18.
But so far (about 18 hours now) I'm very happy with the latest JB rom.

It's possible. I just might not have come across them yet. The only problems I've experienced are the virtual keyboard popping up when I click again in a text box (easily solved with the back buttons) and the FCing when attempting to add funny effects to video in Camera JB+. I've heard a bit about the keyboard CAPS and ALT lights, but those are pointless anyway. Everything else I've done has been smooth as butter. What else is there?
Edit: I guess the 1080 camera could be one too, but I'm over that and coming from months on ICS.

Oh, things like virtual keyboards not working except in native apps, qwerty keyboard keys not working, LEDs not working, wifi not stable, camera FC'ing, camera button not working, battery life is terrible... Nothing major, really. LOL :laugh:

Oh I didn't notice the first one, mine has been great. My www and com buttons don't work, but never used those so I didn't really notice (these weren't working on ICS). My notification light works, wifi fine, camera fine (except issue I mentioned above), battery life is unnoticeable. I assume you reflashed, right?

I can't believe I'm saying this since Strapped was saying this very same thing to me, but you never know those particulars until you try it on your own device. The only sure bets are the Not Working pieces mentioned in OP. I love this ROM so much better than the Virtuous ICS ROM, but if you're sticking point is the camera, then of course MikTouch is the ROM of choice.

"Oh, things like virtual keyboards not working except in native apps" what does this mean?
sup guys! I was out of this dev section from a while (got a one x and now a one, HTC FTW) and now my GF got a sensation...
I need a suggestion for a stable bugless rom with sweep2wake and toggles...the fastest you have...or she will leave me, because of the bugs I put in her phone..."you ruined my phone! I want my galaxy w back!! this phone has bugs!!!!" and throws things...
I was looking for albino's cm10.1 (since 10.2 is not so smooth and drains too much battery and cm11 is too buggy now), is there any other ROM I should look for?
hope I made you laugh with this post lol, I was joking about the leaving thing, but she's really pissed off because of my modding addiction...XD and I really need help, I don't know how roms are.
thank you all guys
The best experience, fastest work, best battery ARHD 7.3 with Sultan kernel.

Sense 3.6 is the last one that looks like a real Sense, everything later lost it's point.
Outdated-maybe, best working-definitely. You said you need something bugless. If you want something newer go with MIUI, it's 4.2.2, you have patched sultan kernel with ION for it (and it also works perfectly with the stock kernel).
I would go for Viper 3.1.4 cos it have full tweaks.

After using CM for a long time I got tired of the battery barely holding a day and decided to go back to the legendary ARHD and it's still the best rom for this phone in my opinion! If you're looking for stability, performance and good battery life, ARHD is definitely the way to go.
I don't really care about the Sense version. I use Apex Launcher and it pretty much looks almost the same like the CM roms I used except for the way the notification bar looks like which is fine with me.
In addition to flashing the rom I also flashed the Battery Percentage Fix / No Recent Apps / Extended Quick Settings, one of the Battery Percentage Mods, the Advanced Power Menu and the HQ Camera which takes much better pics than CM does by the way.
All current apps are working great and I'm glad I'm back using this rom. There's definitely no need to have the latest and newest software on your phone.

ARHD already has HQ camera. I think it's the standard since 6.7 version or so?

I'm actually not sure. If the camera app buttons are green when pressed than it's not. If they're blue than it is the HQ camera.

It actually depends on skin, HTC gives green and Blue sky gives blue.
This is written in the mod thread:
This Mod is now included by default in
ARHD 6.6.2+

On my sensation I'm happy with [ROM][Android 4.4.2][Camera works] CM11 with ION [...]
If you prefer JB [ROM][Android 4.3.1][Camera works] CM10.2 with ION [...]
Cm 10 is really stable
ViperS 3.1.4: very good Sense JB ROM with tweaks and so on. I got only a little bug with headphones. If you use headphones without mic, and so need to talk into the phone's mic, then sometimes you are not able to send your speech...you receive very well, but you're not able to talk.(Before someone asks, I use very high quality headphones but unfortunately they are without mic. Listening a lot of music by my mobile during the day, this to talk into the phone's mic is the only way to continue my habits.)
Elegancia: very good Sense ICS ROM with some tweaks (less than ViperS). No bugs found by me, good battery life, but glitches with Maps 7.0, due to hacks in adreno libs. You must downgrade app to Maps 6 (anyway, link is provided in the thread).
CM 10.1 & 10.2 (albinoman, a1-7, etc.): no-Sense ROM, good performance, a lot of available modifications and personalizations, but camera quality is not as Sense ROM, no way to obtain same quality. In some cases, camera app FC, and that's could be a very annoying thing when you want to capture that exact moment!
Actually I use ViperS 5, a Sense 5 JB ROM. No bugs (neither the one with the headphones), good quality pictures, no tweaks (at least, for the moment). IMHO Sense 5 is not so great because of a sort of "relaxing" in design (someone likes that, mine is only an opinion), but this ROM is the one able to give me what I desire at the moment, even if not at all. I'm waiting for a stable CM11 (albinoman's, dominos', a1-7's, no matter whose) with a no bug camera: I tried some version: speed is terrific (it seems like to have a brand 2014 new phone in your hand), and available tweaks/personalizations will be enough to let me forgive the bad quality of the camera.
Everything I wrote, obviously, is from my experience, so someone could be not agree with me.
Which cm11 to choose
Hi - Which CM11 version do you recommend guys? I saw that there are two which are frequently updated:
- [ROM] CyanogenMod 11.0 | Android 4.4.2 KitKat [KANG] [Jan-15]
- [ROM][Android 4.4.2][Camera works] CM11 with ION [Jan 9, 2014]
I am going to install it to one of my friends phone who is not going to tinker it so I would like to install the better one. Currently he has cm10.1 on it from albinoman, which runs fast but it frequently has bugs during calls so that one needs to be replaced by a better room.

IMHO don't install CM11 ROMs, then... They are not completely stable (camera doesn't work properly, and there are some bugs to be fixed).
Try a CM10.2 from albinoman or from a1-7 (sense-less), or a ViperS5 (Sense 5). No or few bugs at all, stability and speed... CM11 has to be improved a little to be considered a good daily driver.
Thanks for the tip. I will go for cm10.2 then. Android1-7's rom seems to be updated more frequtently so I chose that one.

As I always say when I address these kind of threads, your best option is always to test the ROMs for yourself and decide based on your findings.
This is always the most ideal option because only you will know what you truly want out of a ROM and everyone is simply giving opinions, which honestly have no impact on what you choose anyway.
What's ideal for you may be complete rubbish for someone else + there could be an amazing ROM which you miss out on due to the fact that no one suggested it.
As these threads generally lead to fanboy arguments, however, these kind of threads are against the rules.
Therefore, Thread Closed.
