I am fairly inexperienced with custom ROMs. My phone is fully rooted. Is it possible to install something very similar to Sense 5 on the AT&T HTC One X+? Is it likely someone is working on implementing the features from the international release on the AT&T version? I love Sense but I can't stand the ring-based stuff in Sense 4, which is my most important concern (i've disabled the lock screen altogether but who wants to drag a ring to snooze their alarm, etc.?). I've tried to figure this out on my own but the information in the custom rom pages is over my head.
Thanks for any help :good:.
There is a sense 5 theme by ghost that is exactly what you're looking for.

Just FYI, you can snooze the alarm by pressing the power button (maybe even the volume ones). The day I figured this this out, it took me like an hour to get out of bed..lol.
Yeah, I guess it's time to get rid of the One X+ AT&T phone since there have been no updates, no Sense 5 for us at all.
Sucks...but that is the game I guess...Time to relock/RUU and sell on eBay....haha
I just swapped phones with my wife. She has the Samsung Galaxy S3. I just want a phone that I can constantly flash new custom ROMs.. I like experimenting with all the different User Experiences they all have to offer, and unfortunately the AT&T HTC One X+ just doesn't have anything custom out for it. Sure a couple of developers have their hands at attempting to make it worth while. But it's just too closed of a system to unlock and enjoy this phone to it's Full Potential.

If your phone is fully rooted, why not install a custom rom? I'm a noob at this but I installed viperxl 4.0. It is fully tweakable and sense 5. It makes the phone similar to the HTC one.

I used to be a crack addict... er a blackberry user.
The Bold 9000 was my pride, loved it to death, but it lacked a proper browsing experience and a proper camera with autofocus.
Switched over to the 9700 and still no proper camera and browsing experience.
Wind mobile released the Amaze 4g and I knew I had to have it. I was eyeing the sensation but paying $400-500 was turning me off, and the fact that I wouldn't have warranty as well.
Picked up the Amaze on Monday I believe.. HUGE upgrade from my 9700.
But the more I play with it... the more disappointed I'm getting. This is my first android phone, and I really hate the bloatware, and am kind of annoyed that my first experience with android wouldn't be a stock one so I could get to know the OS in and out before throwing in any theming/extra apps into the equation.
The bootloader is currently locked down with S-ON, which is surprising as hell because Telus unlocked its bootloader, and WIND advertises itself as being the transparent customer loving company that will do anything for its customers. And I know that there won't really be a way to get stock gingerbread without having bootloader unlocked soo...
I have 10 days to return the phone, and I need help making the decision. Return it and stick with my Bold 9700, and hope that it gets the Galaxy Nexus in the near future, or keep it and learn to love Sense.
You can unlock the bootloader from htc's site and one click root it. Bloatware is very easy to remove then and you don't have to switch roms. You can keep stock without the bloatware.

That site doesn't support WIND Mobile Amaze 4gs...
It doesn't show any Amaze but it still unlocked mine. Did you try it?
Edit: I see where they list the T Mobile Amaze. Didn't when I unlocked mine.

Nope doesn't work. Doesn't give an error code or reason though.
I use to have the sensation which was a very similar phone to the amaze I was looking for reason to keep the amaze too. reason's why I kept the phone were because it just works. Usually every android phone I've had I wanted to fix something by rooting it and changing roms but with this one I haven't it has great features camera, screen size, looks and build quality etc... I'm not saying root is not needed but I am saying I like this over stock android there are still plenty of options to customize but it picks up where stock Android lacks and that's better features and looks. Stock android right now is ugly unless its a galaxy nexus which not everything has been fixed or made to look better sense has lots of better apps n features like the dialer, looks nice and can dial contacts by spelling the name stock dialer cant, camera is nicer with more options, drop down has quick options to turn on different things quickly, n there's more. This is why I kept it and like it because the reason cm7 exist is so stock android can be customized and have some options in OEM phones with custom uis like touchwiz or sense etc. So thats my two cents stock Android is great but it no longer carries the huge speed improvement that so many people were after before with dual core phones so unless your getting the galaxy nexus the amaze is great phone to keep and hopefully HTC keeps there word and updates us to ics or a dev brings us ics in the future.

HTC widgets are cool, apploader is much nicer than touchwiz IMO, but it's the mass amount of HTC included apps that piss me off. That and random apps like flashlight that I'll never use.
Flashlights pretty useful here yo lol yea I could understand that but nothing rooting can't fix of course

There is no amaze listed when downloading the sync software. I picked the sensation and everything worked fine. You are mainly downloading the sync program for the drivers that are included.

What are you talking about? How is the TELUS bootloader any more unlocked than the Wind one? And TELUS is S-ON too. They all are.

What I meant to say is your phone's boot loader is at least unlocked. I'm unable to Flash custom roms or root
Actually the telus bootloader can no longer be unlocked so we're in the same boat.

So i just returned my EVO LTE and got the SG3 but after having sense since the original evo i am used to and almost dependent on it. I did some searches but all i could find were ways too make the phone look like sense. is there a way to install the actual ui on another phone?b I want the whole thing, dialer, widgets etc. Or is there a way to just get the htc apps separately?
No. You can replace some of the widgets and functionality with third party programs but you can't install sense on this phone nor are you ever likely going to be able too.
All you'll be able to get is a theme.
I like sense too but after getting used to hd display is hard to go back to qhd, so I will be getting the gs3 on tmobile, sprint is hit and miss and I prefer something that works right now instead of waiting for it

Is there a way to run stock android ( so i can get the newest updates from google) on AT&T HTC One x+ LTE in US? I already have my phone bootloader unlocked and rooted. If yes what is the safest way to have a backup of whatever i currently have and get stock android on it. Do all the hardware features ( camera, bluetooth...) work correctly?

However, a number of features aren't working yet, call audio being the biggest of them.
Just to clarify i dont want a mod just vanilla android. My HOX+ has become increasingly slow, is there a way i can find out why. The camera has so many dropped frames and sluggish as hell. (i have sense 4+ on android 4.1.1 with swapps, paperland and nova launcher running). even hitting the call app takes about 4 secs to load!

You don't need stock for that. Just get the Titanium app and remove all the AT&T apps (AT&T maps and AT&T contacts, for instance). Reboot and I think you'll notice it's smoother and faster.
That being said, I think when the devs DO get AOSP-ish roms on this phone it will live up to its full potential.
Btw, what you want, right now, is quite impossible, but don't worry. We're working on helping the main dev get a new phone. We're confident that the devs will be able to get AT LEAST Cyanogenmod. Dunno about pure AOSP though.
if it gets CM it will get AOSP

Now that stock android flavor of HTC one is announced and kernel code is released can we expect roms for AT&T HOX+ with similar features to come?

The HTC One and HTC One X+ are similar devices in name only. Any progress made with the HTC One will almost assuredly not result in any progress on the HOX+ and vice versa.
edit: This is regarding AOSP, I am unsure of the possibility of porting Sense 5 from the One to the HOX+
Recently, I flashed cyanogenmod 10.1 on my AT&T HTC One X+ (plus). I used the ROM from lloir.com, and to my satisfaction, I was able to flash the ROM successfully. However, once I began to use the ROM I realized that I was not aware of an issue from using nightly builds, my phone reboots every 5 minutes, literally. I knew that the camera and gps would not work, but it seems that my carrier does not work either. For these reasons, I ask you guys to let me know of ROMs that function more smoothly on the AT&T HOX+. I already tried AOKP/Paranoid Android and that also rebooted about every 5 minutes. If you guys know of a fairly stock ROM that is somewhat stable (rebooting only a few times a day), I would greatly appreciate the advice. From what I've seen on other forums, there are many more ROMs for the international version but not quite as many for the AT&T version.
Thanks,
John Carrot
The two front runners seem to be Elegancia and ViperXL. I've used both, and they are good. I'm currently using ViperXL simply because.
I think I read somewhere here that, until we get S-Off(?) not much more can be done. It's looking more and more like that isn't happening, but I'm satisfied with my phone for now. When 4.3 finally drops, it might be a different story.

Basically, the ROMs based off of Sense work much better with the HTC One X+ than the ones based off of stock android. I think I'll use your suggestion, but the reason I rooted and added a custom ROM was to get a more stock experience. However, if the stock type version of Android for the HOX+ do not function properly, I will most certainly go back to sense. It is a bit disappointing, but that's life. Thanks.

Just an fyi, the lack of AOSP ROMs for the AT&T HOX+ is not at all related to S-Off. I think it's mostly a lack of developers and the fact that the AT&T HOX+ is a surprisingly unique device (only LTE phone with Tegra 3 I believe)
Best ROM threads are not allowed. Thread closed.
Is it only the international One that's getting the 5.5 update right now?
Or is the AT&T variant included in the current rollouts? Cause I haven't received it yet.

The current rollout is only for the INTL version. I wouldn't be surprised if ATT doesn't give you Sense 5.5, since they just updated to 4.3 with Sense 5 not terribly long ago. I'd guess IF they update to Sense 5.5, it won't be until after the MAX has been out for a little while. They have to have some incentive to get people to buy it...

gotcha...I had an htc one a while back and got rid of it, and I regretted it...so I have another now and have just been running it stock and its been doing everything I need it to.
I guess I will just have to root and run a sense rom and gain the 5.5 benefits.

I wouldn't root just for 5.5 unless there's something really specific you're wanting. BUT, I say root that sucker since you've had one before and you're used to it. It will open up a whole new world of One possibilities. And while s off is available I would definitely take advantage of it if you ever think you might want to root or tinker with roms and kernels.
I realize rooting and unlocking/s-off isn't for everyone, but if you're inclined to open up the doors to custom software, the development on this phone is UNBELIEVABLE, if you're watching the dev forums in this section I know it's not a lot of activity, but that's because once unlocked all the development in the regular HTC One section can be used.
As a sidenote: My phone and ATT network like the new firmware that was rolled out to the international version. I'm getting service inside the building where it was a dead zone before, although it's not a very strong signal, and my LTE speeds went up a lot, both upload and download. Just in case you do root it and you're wondering about that.

Yes my other one was rooted, soff, Ll that. I know the procedure.
What rom or ruu did you flash to get the new radio and firmware.

I thought the same about rooting but since I've always rooted my past android devices, I did. I have such a better experience rooted (using TB, Greenify + framework modules).
What makes me think to update sense 5 to 5.5, is if I have to delete everything like last time (RUU method) I might skip sense update.
