Hey all,
I have the HTC One X+ in my possession for a period of one month now and I have to say that, coming from the iPhone 4, I like it very much. I rooted it the 3rd day I got it and it has improved the Android experience significantly. The thing that I noticed right away was that the sound, although claimed to be superb, wasn't really that 'superb' compared to my iPhone. Now that I have grown used to it, I don't mind it as much as before. But my question is as follows: is the sound on CM 10(.1) and the 4.2.1 ROM with the 'HTC Beats' mod as good as on the stock ROM? I looked into it (read through the Q&A on various threads in 'Original Android development' but didn't hear about audio problems afterwards. Are they as bad as people claim andare all those opeople waiting for a fix? I know it sucks on 4.2.1 since it hasn't been released by HTC (therefore there are no audio drivers yet) but how about CM 1 (4.1.2)? Is it good with mods? If not, is there a mod that has the stock Android feel and look but has the quality of the audio which is the same or close to the stock ROM?
Tl;dr: is there a non-SENSE ROM that has the same audio quality (with a few mods or tweaks) as the stock HTC ROM?
Thanks in advance for replying

Hi all,
I'm not trying to create competition. I remember one of the ICS roms I tried on here had INCREDIBLE audio, far beyond just megabass. Everyone talked about the audio...I cannot find which one it is! Any ideas?
i like Paul's updated v02 cm9, not the oxp. because he put SRS WOW n TruBass effect n panel to his rom. more better than beat's mod.
Hmm I don't think that's the one I tested, it was older by a few months. But I like the sound of ... the sound mods in that one. And they come out well?
I don't know which rom it was I tried, I know it was an early ICS port and the dev didn't mention much about the audio...but the improvement was INCREDIBLE, many people said so. I was wondering was that mods or the upgraded ICS libs, features. etc.
First of all, let me apologize if this has been asked before. I did numerous searches but could not find any relevant information.
I'm currently on an Omega Jellybean Rom but I'm quite unsatisfied with the experience I'm getting from my phone. Samsung Dialer/Contacts and Messenger are slow to open and it doesnt really quite feel like a phone running Jellybean (yes ive tried alternative apps such as exdialer with the missed call patch).
I recall the JB experience i got from my galaxy i9003 (crappy asian galaxy S) which was a lot more enjoyable/smoother than what im getting now on the S3. Therefore the plan to switch to PA
Now the question is, aside from the issues mentioned on the PA thread (camera getting stuck when taking pics w/ front cam, no FM out, no TV out) are there any other issues or things that I'll be trading off by switching to PA?
Can I get a general consensus regarding PA vs sammy roms? Advantages/Disadvantages? Looking forward to your input

I'd suggest you give Viking Rom a try, I'm a fan of trim Roms and Vikings weighs in a 425 meg, is super smooth and battery life is outstanding.
Viking is a JB rom. I have never experienced any of the issues you mention with the ROM.

I am a big fan of Paranoid Android, always used their ROM, but recently changed to Omega due to Dualboot compatibility, and to be honest, it is a lot more stable than other ROMs I have found.
Omega v2.0 is awsome with the aosp/aokp UI style and Omega v29 is the standard Android UI. Worth doing a Dual Boot with the both of them.
I've had the One XL since the start and have flashed every worthwhile ROM I wanted. The constant with non-sense roms has been the troubles with camera or limited integration. I find myself wondering as I wait for my new One to arrive, "will I only have a 4mp camera because htc won't release drivers for the camera?" Any insight would be appreciated, hopefully from one of the anticipating devs. Thanks!
That's a question that can't be answered until some one builds an aosp ROM for this phone. But I would really be surprised if the camera was open sourced. It's going to be hacked in I imagine.
I'm also worried about the loss of IR blasting with an AOSP ROM.
And this is pretty much why I'll be sticking to custom Sense based ROM's. HTC didn't release source for the ImageSense chip in the One X (not to my knowledge) and most of the features of the Sense 4 camera weren't present in CM builds. HTC put even more into their camera software this time around and losing all of that with an AOSP build just seems rather extreme. Will see though, maybe some dev will get crafty with the camera software.
The time I spent with the phone in the store I tried to find a reason why I would rather run an AOSP ROM on it but I was very well satisfied with the speed, smoothness, and class the One comes with out the box. I believe soon the only reason why we will flash a ROM is to play with theming only as oppose to speed and performance with what these phones are popping out the box!
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.

Yeah Sense 5 is pretty snazzy looking IMO. I think I'm gonna like it better than stock. Still want to unlock the bootloader and root though so I can flash a sound mod. Always like me some better audio!
waiting for AOSP
Hey guys,
I've been running Cyanogenmod 10.something on my HTC One T-Mobile since I got it. I am blown away by the customization and the tweaks it has to offer but I've been coming across a lot of problems. Media messaging seems to be unstable, I get picture texts almost a couple days later after someone sends them. The battery also seems to be draining really fast (not sure if its just the HTC One or the CM itself). Despite being a pretty snappy ROM there still seems to be a lot of memory usage, ironically running a launcher with HTC Sense used 35% of memory on average while under CM its typically as high as 65% running the exact same apps and widgets.
Naturally I would like to switch to Google Play edition for the stability, it seems to be what the CM team were trying to emulate with more user control of course. I just want to know what kind of features I would be losing if I do so. Does anyone here have any insight on both ROMs?
Any advice/suggestions here would be very helpful. I haven't been able to find a thread that puts CM against GPE.
Thanks
I'd put my money in any CM custom ROM especially soon as they become more stable.
Couple of things to consider... T-Mobile may be pushing the 4.2.2 upgrade soon. Also, you could try this stock 4.2.2 International ROM here on XDA. I ran this same ROM on an AT&T HTC One with root, S-OFF. Absolutely bug free,
Sorry, I cannot address CM vs GPE,
-T
i would suggest viper rom as it has all the customization you would ever need but sense based. so you will not lose zoe and other sense features.
Here are some screenshots with the venom red theme and some other tweaks

hello. I'm just fed up with lagging of this phone. i had an old one ( classic htc desire) and it was just excelent with a clean android rom installed.
now i've tried a lot of these posted on this forum,, but none of them seems to work as good as i wish ( to be honest i dont like htc sense things )
so what would you guys recommend for me? i heard about xpirt AOSP but it is removed.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131511
and the second question, i need a custom dsp manager, i want to reduce the noise on low volume. best one in ur opinion ?
