You won't be able to. All current sense based roms are 4.1.2. Once AOSP based ROMs come out then yes, you'll be able to get 4.2.2.

Can't wait either. Hopefully don't have to wait too long because I'm loving the look of the One, but the software part is what's killing me.

Coming from a Nexus S with a CM-based 4.2.2 - I was worried about two things on the 'downgrade' : Bluetooth skipping & the 'swype-style' keyboard.
The One has the swype capability & I haven't have any BT garbles yet... so I'm OK with the 4.1.2 core. Just getting used to Sense.
4.2.2 is obviously a MINOR update and IMHO does not offer much.
For all I care the One can skip 4.2.2 and just get 5 once it's released..

While I somewhat disagree with this as I think the lockscreen widgets and the new quick settings in 4.2.2 are major updates and add a lot. That being said, I upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus running cm 10.1, and I was concerned about the 'downgrade' as well.. The one thing that is killing me is no way to get to the camera from the lockscreen, yes I can add it to my dock, but i dont keep my camera on my dock.. so i really miss that.. Also I cannot fathom why htc would forgo any type of quick settings in the notifications dropdown, I installed renovate 1.0 custom rom that has them so all is good..
In conclusion, its not a big deal at all, its somewhat refreshing to use Sense 5 in my opinion.
coming from a nexus 4 on 4.2.2 i do not miss it at all really. You can swipe your camera icon from the lock screen which mirrors the functionality of 4.2.2 lock screens. The quick settings feature would be nice but i have always used nova launcher and power toggles widget so it essentially accomplishes the same thing.
4.2.2 has all sorts of bluetooth, wifi and wakelock issues on the nexus 4 so i am perfectly happy being on a 4.1.2 using faster, sexier version with LTE. I am scared that 5.0 at google i/o is going to bring babel and some other awesome features which we wont get for awhile. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I'm using Elixir 2 to get quick sets in the dropdown - mute & volume profiles are key, and I also put a shortcut to KeePass there. It's a non-root/non-ROM option for those less adventurous. Elixir also lets you make widgets with tighter packed icons - I thought the 4x4 was a little loose for a screen this big & high res..

Considering 4.2.2 is still new and rare in production models (the SGS4 is the only phone I know of that has it) I don't see anyone jumping over it to put 4.3 on anything but a nexus very soon. If HTC is close to pushing out a 4.2.2 build, they won't have time to retool for a 4.3 release for a bit.

Sorry, but no such luck. HTC in there infinite wisdom has been using the new sense versions as a selling point for new phones. So even though the Rezound will get ICS, it will be with Sense 3.6. The good news is though, you can use a custom ICS ROM that has Sense 4.0 like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630696
Just a suggestion.
If I could just interject with a question of my own...
are these Sense 4.0 roms fully working? I thought I heard that the radios or something didn't work on ICS ROMs but I really don't know what the hell I'm talking about
Just only a small quirk here and there. They work very well and can run them as dailys.

Radios work, wifi works. Animations not so much, it has some strange quarks like wifi will randomly give out and the keyboard for me sometimes just stops working. Has to be lock screen on/off'd.

That's really a grey area imo, for heavy use it's not good. It bogs down quick and just seems like it'd be best to wait awhile before claiming it as a replacement for your daily driver. I wouldn't count on it in any situation where you have to have your phone.

I am running Rezrom S4 2.1 (sense 4) as my daily driver. Besides bluetooth not working 100%, i have had ZERO issues, no reboots, no lags, no force closes. No camera issues (i tale lits of pictures), i use go-keyboard so i have no issues with in that area. I have never dropped my wifi while at home or public. i prefer unlocking my device with lock screen versus other methods using stock lockscreen. If there is issues i have not found them or i do not use the apps that cause the errors.
For me, this rom is definitly ready for everyday use. Results will vary for each user.....
My advice try both sense versions and all of the roms before making a judgmebt based off other users experiences.....
Good luck.
The newest pkmon works almost 100%. It is smooth, good battery life, no real downsides over sense 3.6. It is an upgrade to move to pkmon.

On the main text section that shows all texts from different people, if you slide your finger across their name from left to right it calls them, if you go right to left it txt's them. She also complained about how many steps there are to make a phone call (that might just be learning this new phone).
I keep hearing about Liquid and it sounds perfect except the video camera doesn't work. She takes a lot of videos of the kids, so it's not an option.
theres a widget in sense called people fav. where you can add their contact to it and tapping the pic it will give you an option of text or call.
I'll teach her how to use the phone properly and install widgets if I can't get a rom that emulates a samsung.
I guess I have nothing to lose. She doesn't really like the current factory setup, so I guess I'll just flash one of the most common ones mentioned and see if she likes it, since nobody makes exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I really don't want to sound like a jerk when i say this but, if she wanted the phone to act like a Samsung then why did she get it? Why not just get a Samsung? It's going to be a lot of work for something that may have cost a little more.
The closest thing I can think of is a GB rom with sense removed and using GO Launcher EX with the GO Launcher TouchWiz theme. Both are in the play store. For me Go Launcher has always been a little laggy but if she's used to Touch Wiz then she's used to it..

Gotcha, I understand completely. My family were sold the HTC Thunderbolt because they were told it was a good phone. I took it because it was free with our contract when the district manager set us up. It isn't a horrible phone but I have definitely owned better.
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone could possibly give reviews/sceenshots of the New Jelly Bean update for the Desire X, as I may be updating once it is rolled out in Australia. Are there any bugs or glitches, or any unwanted new features. Are there useful new features and is it worth the update from ICS to JB. Thanks!
(P.S. Is Google Now enabled? It looks really useful.):laugh:
dont bother, some of us (including me) already went back to ics, cause as of now there's no big improvement in features/speed/anything.
even without the two bugs (transparent statusbar wont change background with scrolling, headphone-sound is horrible) it wouldnt be a "must have" imho
google now is included, yes (you have to set language to englisch i think, otherwise it wont work)
Jelly bean is awful. It's a miserable pile of crap. It doesn't work properly. It is slow. And my god, the sound...
Ok, well, my carrier Optus is insanely slow at rolling out updates, so even once HTC hopefully fix the performance issues and bugs, it will be months upon months after everyone else gets it that I get it. I think Im gunna stay on ICS even once I get the first version of the update available.
If you ask me Jelly Bean is faster 10 times than ICS.But thats all...2 new skins.No Full Sence and etc.
Ps:
Stock Browser is faster and have better preformance I like it before i didn use it but now i use is more than google chrome.
Sounds on headphones right now dont bother me cuz my headphones are broken But im with them 80% of my time I will w8t for fix and then will buy new...

narf, your kinda right about the browser, i noticed its a bit faster when you open/close tabs
Well i feel it smoother in apex launcher, and dunno about sense (don't like it) also apps work great ram management is better and multitasking much faster. Battery hold more for me on heavy usage. But the sound is big let down and maybe the update screwed up the camera a little. When you taking a picture you can hear the lens trying to focus and then it clicks and picture jumps a little.

Cyanogen Mod
Just Hope we get some Cyanogen mod 10 action on the Desire X. I love vanilla android, and I have seen an unofficial build of cyanogen mod 9 on the Desire X, but not 10. Just hope some talented developer an bring it to us!:silly::laugh:
As for the Desire X jelly bean update, I think i'll give it a pass
I think CM9 has been discontinued on the Desire X he was up to alpha 2 last I saw, pretty sure hes waiting for JB open sources to come out and then start working on CM10, gutted about the JB update though took so long to come out and when it did so many people were checking to see if they could get it and now a little while later no one wants to touch it with a ten foot triple wrapped pole. By the way I saw somewhere the JB update the did was a beta version can anyone confirm this ?
Im glad you guys tested the JB, i'll just wait for some more updates...

Typically it would have a different ident code. That's how the developers keep track of their revisions. So if they modify anything or fix anything the commits would increment the number accordingly.
So, long story short, it should have a new code.

you can install every ics-rom you want, just follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213663
your bootloader has to be unlocked to do so. and you have to flash a custom recovery.
you can unlock you bootloader by using this website http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
but be aware of the fact, that you MIGHT have a problem when it comes to warranty.
Just installed yesterday (Optus finally got off their arses), so far haven't noticed much difference, just read here about sound so tested, don't see any difference; then again I disable Beats (urgh), so maybe that's it?
MAJOR plus is that USB OTG is now enabled, so with a $2 adapter you can now access your USB sticks etc. Weirdly it doesn't show up under /mnt, is under /storage
Will test tonight if MHL is now working (dunno if it wasn't before or if I have incompatible hardware). Don't have a HDMI cable with me.
I am getting this phone tomorrow,so should i update to JB or not ?
So i got my DNA last week and have been playing around with it for awhile (trying several different roms) but i havent found one that fits me perfectly.
I'm looking for one that is desensed
remap hardware keys
Works with Verizon (though 99% of them do)
Beats audio enabled
HTC keyboard (though i can go without)
The two closest i've gotten is VipersDNA and the Unofficial CM port.
I really like CM only real problem is that beats doesnt really work with it (and i know it has dsp but just doesnt sound as well and i cant get eq perfect)
Viper is almost perfect besides a few nitpicks (I miss my scrollable wallpaper and dont like user a different launcher on top) and i prefer the task manager on CM a bit better (though ive never had the phone lag once which is amazing i like hitting recent and closing all apps, but i can easily go without)
Anyone have any suggestions? I've tried several others but can't find one just right...

I am on CM 10.1 Right now. Only gripe is the camera, not nearly as good as stock sense since it isn't the sense camera but i can live with it. Some of the customization features dont work either. I wouldn't say it is perfect but it is getting there and the DEVs are doing an amazing job for something that is free. Im just waiting for the bugs on GPE to be worked out so I can switch to that.

I'm currently on EclipticNA by Hawknest. It's Sense 5 based so you still have Beats Audio and the HTC Keyboard. All system apps and some user apps are blacked out and inverted, which I love. This ROM is VERY fast, and with Crpalmers kernel it's faster than light! For desensing, just freeze or uninstall Sense, and use whatever other launcher you want. Recent apps button is remapable. There's "press for recents", "press for recents, hold for menu", and "press for menu, hold for recent".
Other than that, when all the kinks in Newt's GPE ROM get worked out, that would be good for your needs.

Firstly I wanna start out by saying that having to post 10x before i can post to help development is annoying. But i do understand why. So im posting this as my first post to start my way to be able to help development. Im currently rocking a Droid dna. Roms Ive so far liked for this phone Ill list with a brief reason why in order.
1. Team Venom Viper rom. Fast stable and mods out the bum. No issues
2. EclipticNa inverted. Best sense 5 rom to me. Fast stable and saves so much battery with the invert
3. Supercharged hatka. Pretty fast decent mods. And stable.
Ive flashed and used 8 of the roms from xda for the dna so far. When Im able to post for development Ill start giving detailed reviews and helping the devs out. U guys can help a guy out by giving me a thumbs up or something. Thanks.

There is a new version of NOS GPE out, version 1.0.3, which fixed all the force reboot and data issues for me, all I had to do was cycle airplane mode two or three times for it to pick up Verizon's connection. Smoothest ROM I've tried so far.
It makes sense that it would work well, because it's coming from an AOSP rom made by HTC for the One. I've had problems with small things not working on other custom ROMs, like HDMI. GPE 1.0.3 has no issues like that so far.

Except for beats that's from sense, not aosp, and if it were pure aosp it wouldn't be 400megs, it'd be like 150. Its desensed from HTC, that's it. It also works quite well, and rather then being bland and boring (to me) it is a very excellent choice for non sense but pretty perfect running.

True, I guess ultimately it's the best AOSP ROM available for the DNA, although I'd love to see a team like Venom come out with a more custom experience based off of it.
"Anandtech's Brian Klug discovered that both the Developer Editions of the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S 4 will not receive software updates directly from Google because they're not running pure Android Open Source Project (AOSP) software, but instead a combination of the OEM kernel and the stock Android skin. As a result, the Google Play edition devices may not receive new Android versions as quickly as standard Nexus devices."
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...one-and-galaxy-s-4-arent-quite-nexus-devices/
I'm still wondering what other "stuff" is in the Google Editions; pure AOSP is under 200 MB, add gapps which is under 100 MB, and then there's _____?

I had issues with version 1 and 2, but 3 has been on my phone since he released it and only had an initial data issue (put the phone in airplane mode twice and it fixed it)
Hopefully by now he OP has narrowed down his choices, so continuing with another subject that came up: why have an original development and a development forum?
Is the distinction that an original development ROM is compiled from source even if the ROM has cherry-picks from another ROM and is based on something such as CM, while the development forum are for ROMs that are ported from one device to another which is made to fit over the Sense base since there is no public Sense source to compile from, or is a modification of a manufacturer's ROM?

Built from source = original development
Built from a factory ROM or otherwise pre compiled image, including from other devices (this covers current MIUI as well) = development
The Roms in development because they have cherry picks but are source built should be in original development, but whatever the mods decide I guess.
That's how I understood it when it was originally posted by XDA when it started.

Bought my G2 at opening. First one at store to purchase . This is the bes t phone I've ever had. LG did an excellent job. The only reason I will have to root is to debloat. This is the smoothest and the ui is beautiful. If you were debating don't. I came from the HTC ONE , which was and is a great phone, but this blows me away. Battery so far kills the ONE, which was my only complaint with it

So far I've had a similar experience.
I cannot wait for this to get root, that is my only complaint so far.
The double tap to unlock really makes this phone.
It is a nice phone, but the fact we may not see AOSP is making me reconsider it. I like having the most recent version of Android as well as the stock Android UI, much better than any theme out there. Even the notification shade on stock is so much better. Oh well, have 15 days to return it, if anything new and awesome about the Nexus 5 leaks I may return this.

What makes you think we wont see aosp? Yes it has a locked bootloader but someone usually finds a way. Just wondering if I missed something and we will be stuck like the gs4 guys.

There is no "fact" yet, barely anyone has really gotten their hands on it yet to even start attempting to unlock the bootloader.
We won't really have a good idea for a few more weeks probably.

I'm just worried about CM as the Optimus G for ATT doesn't have official CM builds.

I agree and I bet we will, just worried for the reason I said above, the ATT Optimus G doesn't have official CM.
For anyone else that has one (Verizon model here)
Is it weird for me to say that this is the first time I've bought a new Android phone and didn't really care to change the OS at all, other than wanting to de-bloat it?
I ran CM on all my previous phones, and after using this for a day and all the features the stock OS has, I'm perfectly fine with it.
Maybe I'm getting old

I want to change the OS as you can tell.

Its better than samsung's touchwiz but I cant stick with it, the mms app notifications are much worse and the stock lcd density makes everything HUGE! I'm running 360 right now but some things like camera are funky.

I run Hyperdrive on both the S3 and S4 and that is mostly Touchwiz. I would be happy just to root this one. I don't need CM or the others for this phone.

Speaking of Hyperdrive, I'm going to try and help sbreen94 get this device. A bounty thread will be open soon.

This phone has enough tweaks that if I have to stay stock with it, I'm ok. Had the HTC One and liked Sense 5 but coming from a Gnex I really wanted vast improvement in battery live. Got that now and then some.

I am totally satisfied with this phone. Always having touchwiz in the past, this ui just kills it. Its been allowing time since I have been happy with a stock UI. already rooted and debloated and I'm happy. Only one gripe so far. Google play music is not sending Bluetooth metadata to my car. I can live with that.

Picked it up today, and love it! The UI is so much better than TW, I don't think I'll even throw a custom launcher on it this time.

I'm in the same boat pretty much. CM while the development team is amazing is overrated IMO. I have a Nexus 4 and I like AOSP, but I don't need anything but root so I clean up the stuff I don't want on the G2. Too many test builds too many bugs, I'm over it.
If I could get back the stock Android browser and UI I would be extremely happy, definitely nice as is though.
I just wonder if this is better than the Note 3. It looks like a great device tho. I had the Optimus G Pro but it felt clunky and the camera was not the greatest. But the screen was amazing!
I am easy to please. I never had issues with TW. I ran both cleanrom and bonestock. TW is fine. This UI is fine. Root and all that jazz is icing but really isn't a huge deal. It's all android to me.
