Just figured I'de post this info I found on the website:
Code:
Notifications and updates: HTC One™ X+: Software update
Keep your smartphone running efficiently by using the latest available software.
As of April 2013, a new software version is available for the HTC One™ X+.
The update provides the following benefits and enhancements for your smartphone:
Bug fixes to improve Wi-Fi connectivity
Improvements for the Camera application to enhance photo quality
Minor bug fixes to address internal system errors
NOTE: Google is releasing this update in stages. Your smartphone will receive a notification when this update becomes available to you.
I know AT&T received an update as well so I'm not sure if they provide similar or the same fixes. Later today I'll flash back to stock to check it out and try to get a copy of the update file uploaded.
Noob question here-- I've rooted and am running elegancia...I take it I will have to wait for these updates to be incorporated into to the ROM by the dev (Steve0)?

If the updates and fixes haven't already been accomplished by the aftermarket rom/firmware.
This software update is just like the incremental updates a developer may issue with their rom. It's just on a much larger scale, and these updates aren't really something you need to be concerned with if you are running a replacement rom.
Do Not install it unless you're stock and have no intentions of using a custom rom in the near term.
Not working with custom roms right now.

Hi..
Here I have just found the Sony developer site. There seems to be a new version coming.
On top of the list.

Hi,

The file you found is just the latest build (since 2.1.A.0.390).
no rly new version: x10_x10mini_X10minipro_x8_eclair_2.1.A.0.435.tar
not .390

With it being such a minor revision, I think it's just a patch to the v 024 root exploit. Remember, SE is committed to giving us the best 2.1 available!
not dev related (more fyi), therefore moved to general

I'd rather have an ok 2.2/2.3 than an excellent 2.1 lmao 2.2 just adds sooo many new features...you don't really notice what you're missing until you use 2.2
This is a call out to all existing and future developers of Xperia MDPI Devices.
For about a month now there is an app called Update Me Smartphone, which basically gives OTA update functionality for our Custom Roms.
From 01/05/2012 the developer of this app has given it a very interesting feature. You can view all Roms compatible with the Update Me Smartphone application. Even though you get a list a bunch of irrelevant devices, I suppose if we all "help" him with our suggestions he can make an application that will be on par with the Rom Manager app for devices that are fully supported by CWM.
To make this as simple as possible....
User "A" wants to download a new Rom for his Xperia MDPI Device. He has already downloaded and flashed a custom kernel (whether this is a Stock Kernel, or a CM kernel), then proceeds to download the app, install it and browse any compatible Rom's with his device... From then on his device will stay updated, through the Update Me application providing OTA updates of the Rom he has installed. If he wished to download another rom (compatible with the kernel he has - there are 3 Different Kernels AFAIK: GB CM, ICS CM, GB-ICS Stock Sony Kernel) he will just proceed to download the latest version of the rom he has selected straight to his device. No need to download to your computer, then connect the device, then copy it, then flash it. If you have the compatible kernel already installed, then its easy as pie.
Please let me know of your thoughts on this...
Edit: Link to the application's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590170
Edit 2: Apart from Rom's we can also implement various mods, tweaks, fixes, etc for our devices. Even though that would be extremely hard, due to the fact that all these files need to be stored in a direct download location like Dropbox, its is a viable option.
OMG I love the idea, that would be awesome!!
It's very interesting, thanks a lot for the info I will try it!
Some modification: In GB we have 3 different kernel (Stock Based, CM Based, MIUI Based [not released yet]). In ICS we don't have Stock based to Xperia MDPI, because Sony don't released yet the stock for us. So we have CM9 based, AOSP based (it's work with CM9 ROMs btw), and ported Stock based.
Some another notice: I saw a lot of thread (not only in this forum), but sooo many people trying to make ROMs. It's not a problem, but some guy don't know some full minimum things... So who will help this guys to add this app to their ROMs?
Are you using a different Kernel for the Sony ICS rom port? I mean the Ramdisk is the same size and you're using the same zImage from a stock GB rom correct?
Well nobody is forced to do this. All we have to do is provide the app developer a link with the update_me_check.xml so that he will sort of add a link for that in the application.
By the way, i now got my goo.im account, and this have own OTA app. I will try it, and I will report.
But I know, this is not only OTA app... Hmm... I need to think in it
So the only developer checking the thread is Expeacer?
Ok...

What makes you think like this?
Well, it's been a couple of days since I posted this, either people dont have an opinion of their own, or they don't care...

I also read quite a lot of topics, but I don't respond in every topic.
My question goes to ROM developer. If we can make a flash-able zip files to install or modify files, why can we not only flash the updated files when ROM developers update their ROM?
For example the normal process is:
-Find ROM your like
-Download and flash full ROM(some LG G2 Roms are 1 gig in size)
-New update comes out
-Download full 1 gig ROM again and flash again
why can we not go
-Find ROM
-Download and flash full ROM
-New update comes out
-Download only the updated files (most likely a few MB's only)
-Flash them
Note: I am not a ROM developer so I do not know all the technical aspects that goes into making a ROM. This is why I am asking why something like this is not possible or we just don't do it.
Some roms do support incremental updates. The G2 roms probably aren't that stable yet.
We're just now starting to see an more and more custom 4.4 roms (even on the Nexus 5). Most were typically based off stock.
Once they get stuff ironed out, you should start to see some smaller updates.
1gb roms do sound unnecessary

Thanks. I was really wondering about that. So it is possible, it is just up to the developer.

I may be really off base here. But from past phones and roms it seems that some updates only work really well when built into the Rom. Some have used SVN to put out updates and then you build the Rom with the small update you download. I believe it all depends on how deep the update goes. Looking forward to see how far we can go with this phone. Tomorrow is my 14th day so I guess its a keeper.
CyanDelta does what you are asking for Cyanogenmod.
Consider this. A developer creates a ROM. You download and install it. Then, the developer wants to update it. If he uses a small incremental update, you can download and flash it. Then when it is updated again, you just flash the next update, and so on.
This is all fine and dandy, if you downloaded the ROM from the very beginning, prior to any updates.
If you find the ROM a few weeks or a month or whatever into development, it will likely have gotten at least a few updates. But in order to get to the latest stuff, you would have to download that first build, flash that, and then individually download and flash every update that has been released for that ROM until it is up to date. That is a pain.
If the developer just releases a whole new build for each update, both new and old users can flash it and be on the most current version of the ROM. Yes, it is a bigger file to download, but it saves quite a lot of headaches. Both for the developer and for the end users. Especially if a re-flash is necessary for some reason.
Or, the developer could do both, and create a whole new build, and a small update for the current users. But that would make for a big mess of files to keep and maintain, and could be confusing to make sure the right one is downloaded. Just creating all those updates and ROM builds and writing all the installation scripts sounds like a big pain to me. It's generally simpler to just build the ROM. Still, it does happen.
Just my thoughts, and I am not a ROM developer, so please correct me if I am mistaken about something.
Its a pain plain and simple. Who wants to look at hases to see if a lib changed and stuff. Its also simply more reliable to just keep each base its own then to start merging the two.
Can anyone tell me why are there roms up of to 1gb in size and yet most are just 200mb more or less.
Usually AOSP ROMs are going to be small. When you start to add in LGs ui, features, provider rubbish etc, they climb in size. Most of my Galaxy Note II ROMs were huge. My TWRP back ups would be around 3GB.

Since they split the forums, we aren't getting the traffic we had before.
Some of the fellow XDAers have captured the Verizon KK OTA update in .bin format that is 24A. We don't know if it is final or what it contains. We have been unable to flash it or force an update.
If any one is familiar with LG on a dev level and want to offer assistance, please visit us here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670441&page=60
Since the update is 24A, it might include some updates or features not in the earlier KK builds and could benefit all. More information is in the thread.
Ok, so let me tell you some information about my situation first.
I recently have made a deal with a manufacturer of Android Tablets.
I want to be able to develop and add features & fix bugs and push the updates to my customers Tablets and have them be able to easily download & install them. The Tablets currently run stock KitKat 4.4 but I can always ask my manufacturer to install certain modded software (roms?)
Thanks,
