With all the hope we have going for HTC to give us 4.2 i've given it a thought and realized that there has been custom roms with 4.2 for months now. This resulting in hope in HTC lowering every time i hear something "maybe".
So for people who may be in my shoes should we wait for HTC or install a custom rom? (also what is the most stable 4.2 rom since 4.3 is mostly nightlys for now).

I'm running the 4.3 cm10.2 nightly 09 04 and I've not come across any problems it feels rock solid and very fluid
Forget the HTC update I really don't think it's coming but if it does you can always flash back to stock and update to it

But the 3D rendering (in games for exemple) isn't bad compared to the Stock based ROM ? And I heard that the camera delivers bad pictures :/

Asphalt 7 run smoothly ? Well, it's impressive, cause when i tried CM, Dead Trigger were really slow !
But I use every day my camera... I bought the One S for this ! Too bad ^^'
Yeah its shame you cant port HTC camera app over to custom non sense roms
I'm running Odyssey 4.3 and he camera is OK for my needs. Game wise I'm playing asphalt 8 on high quality setting and it's running great. Id go custom if i were you as the official will never catch up.

I just tried the 4.2.2 pac man rom and everything went great except from an occasional screen tear and some of my apps opened but closed shortly after so i'm back on stock. whats the best rom to use camera wise? Willing it give it another go but not really wanting to lose out on the camera. Don't really care about beats audio, find it just ruins the audio.
Also is it normal for your battery to drain fast when first using the roms?

Yes when 1st using the ROM the battery can drain fast; give it a few days to settle, and you will see the battery life willbe great
There is a workaround for screen tearing but I forgot how to do it, since I moved from AOSP roms to Viper a few months ago
The latest 4.2.2 ROM I have used is Illusion; pretty good AOSP rom, I still have a Nandroid backup of it on my SD card
For the camera, well, it's either Sense ROM for a great camera, or AOSP roms for ****ty ones
If you really want AOSP rom with a better cam, check out the 3rd party cameras on Play Store .... IIRC, Zoom Camera FX is pretty good

I did the OTA update to 4.04, but noticed that I'm still on Sense 4.0. I've seen on the news that Sense 4.1 is out. Is there something I'm missing?

Its only available for the international/tegra 3 one x. If you want it on the ATT verison, you would have to root and flash a port of it. (which you cant BTW since you updated to 4.0.4)

Thank you Do you think it will come to the AT&T version? I have been tempted to root this phone, because I was pretty active in ROMs on the Samsung Captivate, but I opted to wait for the JB update to see how the OTA runs. And I'm sure AT&T's 4.04 will be rooted in the future.
4.1 is also on 2.29 that was just released to o2 users in Germany.
There is nothing wrong with ports as long as the developer knows how to properly port it. My ports are 100% flawless and working fine, Since no one wants to post the 2.29 RUU for any developers we have to port from other public RUU's or system dumps.

Here is the complete changelog based on observations http://phandroid.com/2012/08/05/sen...to-blaze-through-quadrant-scores-nearly-6000/. Listing it down here for lazy users like me
Live wallpaper lag has been fixed
There’s a dedicated button in the Camera app to switch between Front/Backward facing cameras. (earlier you’d have to go into the menu for that.)
A dedicated button to switch tabs in the browser. (You’d have to go into the menu for that, too)
Complete removal of all 3D-Effects in the launcher leading to a completely lag-free experience.
Probably the most important- Rebased on Android 4.0.4
Added ability to remap the recent apps button/ Long-press recent apps/ Long-press Home as Menu. (yes, it removes the Virtual menu bar) under Settings->Display, Gestures and Buttons
New, blazing fast kernel. We mean it. It scored a pretty impressive 59oo+ in Quadrant benchmark (compared to 5100+ on Sense 4)
Wifi-dropping/ Icon showing weak signal Fixes.
Better Battery life- 5 Hour+ Screen-on time as compared to a measly 3 Hour+ on Sense 4.

Even without the sense 4.1 update. The 4.0.4 update has a few of those upgrades (remaping)
I have also noticed the battery life and speed are noticeably better with just the 4.0.4. It's a whole new phone.

Yea, it's just tweaked and less obvious. Helps improve rosie scrolling speed etc.
Thanx for that info shank!!!
Unfortunately, as a noob I upgraded my AT&T 1X to 4.0.4
Typically how long does a root take to appear for most updates!?
Do you think the root for 4.0.4 will be held back because JB is so close!?

Root is available as soon as an exploit is found, if and when an official jb release is given it will then be a whole new issue for root as more than likely the exploit is patched or would no longer work due to firmware changes etc, it seems there must be an independent root method for each build. no universal deal unless HTC overlooks the exploit being used which 99.9% of the time they don't.

This is a quote from another post but pretty much sums it up
"From all I've gathered through this community, Rosie is like a theme on steroids - HTC uses it as a key piece of branding across nearly all their devices. In addition to being the main user interface in terms of widgets, buttons, launcher, etc it also includes an number of hooks and tweaks into core Android itself designed to make the experience more friendly for non-geek users (no insult implied!)."

After giving it some time for Jelly Bean to hit developers, I've seen 2 versions of Jelly Bean that work on the Inspire, both of which are variants of JellyTime. There is a CM10 version out there, but the Inspire/Desire is not on their supported list and after installing it I can't get it to boot past the splash screen.
Has anyone seen any other JB ROM's out there? I've seen Randomblame's and Synergy's and I must say both are noticeably faster, faster internet, faster APP install, and improved efficiency overall.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks!
Thread moved.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Those are the two. Since nothing official will be hitting any similar devices it probably won't be a big collection of roms like gb and ics. I bet someday we will see a port of a jelly/sense combo but it will probably be missing stuff so it is actually usable. Our devices are becoming dated compared to jelly bean devices. It's like running windows 7 on an old Athlon. I know I am looking forward to upgrading. My inspire has been a great device, but most of the really great devs have upgraded and moved on, and I can't wait til I can do the same. I've only got 11 more months lol. Keylime(or whatever the k version will be called) will probably be out by then.

My apologies, thanks for moving it. I am new to this.
I've been using randomBlame's jelly bean nightlies for some time now. It is nearly perfect but the one major flaw made me revert back to ice cold sandwich: the screen blacks out when the first sound is initiated after sleep. It's actually a problem with cm10 and it interferes with calls. When that is fixed it will be my new os.

I just flash this rom (below) yesterday night and i must say thsi is the best one I've flashed in awhile.
its fast its good on battery life and the design is Crack lol. only problem i have is the camera function

A workaround for camera focus is to hold button and then slide finger off it sideways. It will focus without taking a picture. Works for me.

I'm currently using JellyTime R13 and I haven't run on any issues. Great battery life, very fast and the camera bug stated earlier in this post is fixed. Only thing not working is the headset controls, but for me that's not a big deal. I use it as my daily driver. I haven't used the other one but I think it should be very similar to JellyTime since both are unofficial CM Nightlies.
Still has backlight issues I think. Biggest deal killer for me is not supporting all wifi channels...

Been coming to this site for a while since it's full of great resources.

I just flashed this ROM yesterday. The only issue I had was with the headphones (it would detect my favorite ones as Beats, but then there would be no sound. Cheap phones would produce sound, but not my good ones). The dev (sun_dream) quickly offered a patch that fixed this issue so now this ROM is my "daily driver". I'm not noticing any lag, it is running very well. I haven't had a chance to ascertain battery life yet. I do enjoy the look and feel of this, ICS with Sense 4.1. Note, you can switch to Sense 4.0a if you like using the HTC Sense ST app. From what I hear, Sense 4.0a is a little less resource intensive so could give you a little bit more responsive feel. I'm not sure what you sacrifice, though.
So far the only things that don't work: Face Unlock is really buggy with this. And the Gracenote app to download album covers for the built in Music app doesn't seem to download anything. And HTC Hub never finds anything to download. Those are very minor quibbles I can live with.

You can flash it while being S-ON. All you need to do is extract the boot.img from the ZIP file. Flash the ROM as normal, then use Fastboot to flash the boot.img separately. There is a good guide on here that tells you exactly how to do it.
So do youu guys like this rom better than vituous?
And can u guys give me the link to the rom and updates. Patches?

I finally had to go back to a stock-based Gingerbread ROM (my old standby Miktouch 0.7). This ICS Sense4 ROM just had too many little "gotchas" that made it unstable. The fix for the earphones cause it to completely crash if you try to record any sound. Everytime I tried to use an app like Soundhound or Shazam or MusixMatch, the phone would instantly reboot. I just discovered that is due to the patch that makes the earphones work.
I guess if you don't mind a portion of your phone being unusable, these ICS ROMs would be OK. For me, personally, I want all of the phone to work as it should, so I'm going back to stock ROM.
I haven't had the same experience with the headphones issue. So far my Subjekt phones have worked fine and no FC's. As far as the ROM goes the lag has seemed to have disappeared and I blocked some apps & processes using Gemini App Mgr. The Face Unlock is buggy for me as well. So far no other problems.

Im running PA 4.3 3.99 newest build (Link in my sig). Great Dev support and the rom runs fantastic. AOSP is so smooth and the battery life is improved. Its easily a DD. I never thought i'd run an AOSP rom but now I can't go back. The main features I love are the Quick Reply messaging, halo, and all the customization options.
The camera can be a little wonky once in a while, mainly the FFC, but I run the modded AOSP camera with HDR and ext storage with no issues. I read ppl having issues with blue tooth while listening to music but I never use blue tooth so I can't comment on that. Samsung just announced that 4.3 will be coming to the S3 but we havent even gotten 4.2 so I wouldnt hold ur breath.
Check it out for yourself you wont be disappointed.

I thought that too about the signal being weaker but I think its just the way the Rom displays the signal and not the strength itself. It was the first thing I noticed running AOSP for the first time but I have no issues making calls, sending SMS/MMS, or data.
^^
Agree with this guy pa 3.99 is stable for me and the focal camera still has some bugs but it's nice tho and I'm coming from MOAR ROM and I've got to say AOSP is much quicker than touchwiz and I like the HALO

I am sorry but this is just a "What's the best 4.3 ROM" thread
Best ROM threads are not allowed on XDA .
XDA is a development site, not a support site. members are expected to read about the software they are going to drastically alter their $700 device with and make a decision based on their own preferences not others' opinions. There is no BEST as it depends on preference, use, setup, apps, signal, and phone.
Thank you for your understanding

I have always liked CM. I'm not real fond of sense I guess I;m not used to it. I like CM because it is ease to use and it's simple I just like the ease things in life. I don't like you have to reboot 5 times to get this to work! or you got to type this to get that to work that's just not for me. That's why I like CM sorry to ramble on...
