I'm getting a One X for my girlfriend either tonight or tomorrow. She's very technically incapable, she just wanted something better than that Lumia 900 she's had for a while and I found this One X on the cheap lol. Basically I'm gonna root, unlock, and flash a ROM on day 1 cause I've had HTC devices before and the battery and stock performance is usually....meh, to put it nicely. So I'd rather avoid that headache and just cut the problem straight at the beginning.
I'm looking through the development section and I've narrowed it down to 3. Maximus, Android Revolution, and ORDroid. Now the key things I'm looking for here are:
1) Ease of use
2) Stability
3) Battery life
4) Preferably OTA updates cause it's so easy even a girlfriend can do it.
5) Preferably no compromises on camera, wifi, bt, or anything.
I know it seems like I'm asking a lot, but really I just want to know what's my best option here and since I don't have a One X myself to test these ROMs out there's nobody better to ask than you guys. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

The first 2 are for the international version. Be careful and don't flash them...
I would recommend from the bottom of my heart Cleanrom 5.1 (no theming) together with elementalx 3.0 kernel (using stock values to avoid issues)..
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Yea those are all international roms, all very capable of turning that sexy phone into a paperweight. If she likes stock, go for cleanrom. Really quick.. Likes stock but can mod, try viper, it has everything. Likes the look and feel of jellybean? I say flash dirty rom. Want best of both? MergeX is sense themed out like aosp.

Thanks, so I'm assuming without checking it out that Cleanrom is ICS based? I'd like something JB based so I can steal her phone every once in a while to check out Google Now lol (Optimus G has practically zero development going on right now lol)
And yes I realize that I listed a bunch of international ROMs, I accidentally posted this thread over there not knowing there was an AT&T One X forum so I just copy and pasted without looking in the development section over here. Thanks for the feedback though guys.

CleanROM is based off one of the most recent ICS and Sense 4.1 bases. There are no Sense Jelly Bean roms just yet, except only very alpha port from the international phone.
If you want JB, you need CM10.

Stick to ROMs in the AT&T One X specific section of the forum, and you'll be safe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1538
Don't flash any ROMs from the forum that is labelled simply "HTC One X" as that versions has completely different hardware internally, and any ROMs from their will either not work, and/or will brick your phone.
There is no best ROM. Everyone has different preferences and expectations. To recommend one over another is an insult to our devs that work so hard to give us free software, as saying one is not 'the best' is implying it somehow inferior, when it is not.
I know about the International One X, like I said earlier that was my fault for looking through the wrong forum. As far as asking for the best ROM I was asking what's the best one for my needs that I listed. I'm not trying to make somebody's work seem like it's "less" than someone else's but obviously one ROM is gonna fit me better than another. And if I tell everybody what I'm looking for and ask for help on which would suit my needs then that shouldn't be misconstrued as insulting other developers.

All due respect, those are the same rationalizations that are often given when someone starts a "best ROM" thread.
You're parameters aren't anything special. Its not like people are walking around requesting ROMs that get bad battery, or are hard to use.
Its not that hard to look through the features of the ROMs, see which ones fit your need, and try out a couple.
"Best ROM" threads are simply not allowed here (whatever you think your rationale may be), and mods will close this thread soon.
You'd be surprised how impossible it is to actually try out a ROM before you get the phone. And I wasn't trying to flame a best ROM thread, if you just read through the posts you'd realize I was looking for a stock ROM that wouldn't be overwhelming for someone completely unfamiliar with this sort of stuff. I said options and tweaks weren't important and stability definitely was. Sounds a little less generic than you're making it out to be.
Could I have looked through the development section myself? Absolutely. Was it lazy and more convenient for me to do this? Of course it was. Is it undermining the entire concept of a Q&A section when you say which questions can and can't be asked? A little. Especially when the whole point of this was that I don't have the phone myself so I HAVE to ask people what their opinions are.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Obviously, regardless of whether you start a thread asking about ROMs, or research them yourself, its all purely academic until you actually get the device and start flashing ROMs. If you want to do some preparation before you receive your phone, your time is probably better spent reading about how to unlock the bootloader and root the phone, as the steps are not completely obvious or straightforward.
I'm not trying to beat on you, seriously. But if every person new to this phone made a thread asking what ROM is best "for him" arguing that their needs were somehow unique and special (and therefore deserved their own thread), the Q&A forum would quickly be rendered useless by a flood of hundreds of such threads.

personal preference my friend. Try a couple out and see which one you like
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Agreed, you have to try some out and pick your favorite. If you ask 20 people on this section by PM randomly I bet you'd get at least 5-6 different answers.
SkyICS + Venom depending on your personal taste get my vote right now for multiple reasons, but the biggest being support and production. A vast majority of the roms that have come out for this phone have never/rarely been updated (no offense intended, people have lives, things happen, you get new phones, etc...).
Often, the stock ROM is the best since at least all the phone's capabilities are accounted for. More often, a rooted stock ROM is better since you can freeze bloatware, get around tethering restrictions and the like. Beyond that, it's kind of up to you to do your homework to make sure that a particular ROM does everything you need it to do (Bluetooth streaming, both cameras work, etc) and that you like the layout.
On a side note......
Q: What's the best way not to spam the board?
A: You don't post the same question in multiple sections.
Please don't do it again. Thank you.
Running venom right now and very pleased.

Guy this question has been asked a thousand times with a thousand different answers. There is no top or stable ROM, they are ALL GREAT. Only what you feel best using and your needs of it. Try a few on for size and see what works for you and feels best for you. Coredroid for a stock look or absolution 3.7 for a no sense. But then these are my favorites but watch how many more responses you get till you get closed.

Look, I use my phone as a work phone (so I need an amount of stability), and I find aospx AR28 stable enough for a daily (that said, AR26 saw fewer freezes and reboots, food for though).
However, if you need camcorder, aospx (any ICS?) isn't for you.

Well lets start with congrats man on getting an Inspire. The Inspire community is awesome and there is a constant flow of great work being done by the amazing devs here. First, please search. I don't mean to come off as a jerk but it is part of the rules you agreed to when you signed up and literally if you searched "best rom" or "stable rom" you would most likely see what we have all been telling you and that is: There is no best stable ROM. Every ROM has its issues. What one person swears by another person won't. Only you know what you're willing to live with and live without. Try some ROMs out and see what works best. Here are my recommendations but they are by no means an all inclusive list of "best ROMs", just my personal preference.
Sense 3.5 = Bindroid
Basically stock = Cleardroid
AOSP/CM = Absolution
ICS = Redemption or Melchizedek
if i could stay on one rom long enough to find out if it's stable or not would be a great thing. stupid ROM A.D.D.

Don't forget cyanogen7.2 (newest release) for a wide variaty of customization.
Like others said before there are tons of roms in the developer section of the xda/inspire4g.
Welcome to the freedom of android. The best thing about rooting is the personalization. You can find just about any theme, os, app, or widget you can imagine.
Start with the ace hack kit, read the effin manual (that's what its called) do some reading on the available roms, download from the site or open up rom manager (if available) flash from rom manager.
Which ever rom you choose remember read the first post on the dev thread back and forth up and down. Once you do that...... read it again. All the important info you need for that rom is in the first post.
If you have questions on terms or what something is. Just Google said something followed by xda htc inspire 4g and you should find exactly what your looking for.
Good luck and welcome to the forum.

As stated none can tell you what rom will work best or be the most stable on your device and your set up. Even stock roms have bugs. It is just something you live with or dig in and try to fix when you own a smart phone.
Just pay attention to the OP of each thread and so the proper research and you will be fine.

We cannot justify that the Rom x is better than the Rom y, it depends on our own taste and way of using it.. sense our ICS base ROM's are under development as of this time,
and most of all we just need to provide them some log's in every issue we encounter so that they can work on it, in that way we can have a better ICS as ROM builds progress.. what we can do is to give thanks to our great dev's who work hard to give us the ICS,
but base on my experience i never encounter any issue in AOKP, specially on the latest build
Beam hands down. Smoother faster and better battery life. I think so anyways . But both are awesome!

I was going to do something like this thread but for MIUI vs cMIUI. Then I thought that people would come telling that it's a personal thing, every ROM is great, they are all smooth and fast... and stuff like that. I think that the OP was asking for more than the general description. What really is it that made you choose that ROM over the other?
My choice here would be AOKP. I have used Team Acid's ROMs since forever, back in the Froyo days when ICBINB and Audiophiles were all over the place. I trust their work and it fits my personality. Constant support and never had an unsolved issue. My dad has been using Valhalla Black since it came out, I don't remember when. He thinks that it's the ultimate thing, still. So, that's enough proof that their work is awesome. Doesn't mean I don't like other development. I have used every ROM, mod and kernel here. Just my preference. Of course, AOKP is smooth, fast, stable, simple, no confusing apps (normal launcher), doesn't take much time to set up to my preferences and it has constant support and updates. But then again, every other ROM has it too. It's very hard to describe the choice, but I can't find other way to explain it.
No disrespect to other devs here. I know Erik, Thomas, Dao, Solrac, Anton and the others do an excellent job. In fact, I'm currently on cMIUI, not AOKP. But I have tried all other's and it's very hard to decided with which one to stay with.
Beam if you want speed and smoothness
aokp if you want customization

Hey guys, I'll try to make this brief. I'm not very good with Android, so I apologize in advance for my ignorance.
A few months ago, I accidentally let my phone update to 2.2, so I had to wait a while to for a bootloader/root method. A bootloader unlock came first, so I had to do that, but I never ended up installing a custom ROM.
Now, I'm really feeling I need one, but I have no idea where to start. There are just so many. I would like something as close to vanilla android as possible, and I don't necessarily want to be on the bleeding edge.
To be honest, I don't know as much about Android as I would like to, and I guess I want something that "just works."
Can anyone help me out here?
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Have a look in the Original Android Development section, that's where you'll find the "vanilla" or AOSP stuff. Asking which ROM is best is against the rules here so I'm not going to suggest anything, other than saying they're pretty much all stable and suitable as a daily driver. It comes down to what you personally like, flash a few and see what works best for you.
Sent from my One XL using XDA Premium
There's even a few stock ones with all the att crap removed
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Figure out what features you want or don't want, then just look through the ROM threads to see which ones look good to you. Pick a couple, flash them and try them out.
Its not clear how much you know or don't now about how Android works, and the various features. If you really don't understand the terminology used in the ROM threads, just start reading up by searching on XDA or Google, and figure them out.
If you don't know what the features are, and what they mean, then you don't need a custom ROM. Also, nobody can choose a ROM for you, as everybody has different preferences and uses their phones differently. That's why its best to do some research, so you can make an educated choice on your own.
There are some good "close to stock" ROMS out there, I use one myself. Just remember that if you use an AOSP ROM you *may* also have to downgrade some firmware.
Check very closely with each ROM you try and follow the instructions closely. A bad ROM install is unlikely to brick you but doing it right can avoid a lot of headaches.

No such thing as "standard" because everybody likes different things. Its like asking if there is a "standard" favorite color.
There are certainly "popular" ROMs. And determining which those are, is pretty easy without making a thread like this. And just because a ROM is popular, does not mean it will be the best choice for you. Again, everybody uses their phone differently and has different preferences. I've had instances in the past, where a lesser know ROM worked much better for me than what "everyone else" seemed to be using.
Sifting through the ROMs is not as daunting as it might appear. Especially if you use my index. You said you wanted vanilla Android, so that excludes the Sense ROMs. Decide whether you want Android 4.1 or 4.2. Exclude the versions of ROMs that have been superceded, or haven't been updated or supported for a while (older ROMs are not necessarily bad, but probably should not be your first choice if you are just getting started flashing ROMs). The number drops to the point where its not that hard to read the threads and see what you like, and pick out a couple to try.
The best way to find a good ROM is process of elimination like red point said. Sense vs aosp. ICS vs jb (4.1 vs. 4.2). And then of course the features. If there was the best ROM, everyone's signature would probably be you the same. But this is not the case.
I look for features (including bugs), screenshots, and then comments. If it looks good test it out for a day or two. If I like it l, keep it. If not, keep going.

Sir that is not the case. Some people may not like the way Google made little changes int 4.1.1. For example, if you are familiar with mIRC, some people sitll use 6.30, even though there is a 7.31. I know that is a bad example since it doesn't apply here, but I hope you get my analogy.

And that could be user settings. I bet if people leave settings at default or stock, no one will have issues. Or maybe it is certain apps that make small (non-rooted) changes to their phones. You never know the whole story, because a lot of people don't tell.
I know there is other threads like this but i wanted to know what your favorite rom is and why for the HTC One x. I am currently on the Pacman ROM and i want to switch over to another ROM.
Sigh. This thread again...

It's very personal. Trial and error. Work out what you like. Try viper, a non-sense Rom and sense 5. They should give you a good idea of what you like.

Favorite Rom threads are frowned upon. Hopefully there aren't other threads like this. Try the different roms and see what you like rather than asking.

But yeah seriously just test out the ones you're interested in and compare them and see what you like best. I flashed maybe 4 different roms before i stuck with one and just recently went over to sense 5.

Why is it against the rules to ask for somones oponion?

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.

Why would anyone here say leave your phone stock? That just doesn't make sense.

Not true. If it was then everyone would be on stock, no? lol.

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.

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.

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.
