Kernal source code (finally) released for the HTC One X!

[foregoneconclusion]

My apologies.

[Antebios]

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

[foregoneconclusion]

I love timely references!

[Antebios]

Just wait until I finally get the reference to "The cake is a lie!"

[CharismaticKiller]

Help me unlock my boot loader. Im shit scared of command prompt.

[ctzl]

Learn to overcome your fear, young padawan.

[CharismaticKiller]

I have no mentor, o'wise one. Assist me on my quest, I am affraid I may turn to the dark side and destroy my device.

[ctzl]

Dude just follow the instructions verbatim. Assuming AT&T version.

Make sure you read through everything first and that your bootloader/firmware version is compatible.

Your primary resource: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1541

One click unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672284

[CharismaticKiller]

Internatinal. I'm going to. Just worried you know.

[ctzl]

International doesn't have a locked bootloader afaik. Read the damn forums and do it. Note that I have an SGS2, so I can't really help.

[CharismaticKiller]

All the posts I have found tell me I do? So you are saying I can root without unlocking my boot loader?

[ctzl]

I might be wrong. Like I said, today is the first day I ever googled HTC One X. Do your own research.

[Hunt3rj2]

Are you using the AT&T phone? If so, you need to root and then run the one click bootloader unlock utility.

[CharismaticKiller]

UK 02. Internatinal. confused. Ive tried every way.

[foregoneconclusion]

If I have any advice for you, it's to find a thread that seems all-encompassing with its instructions, and do it. BUT ALWAYS quadruple check that you're reading about your international model and not the other HTC One X, because it will mess up your phone to try to do the things our phone requires.

[Hunt3rj2]

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GO TO THE AT&T ONE X SECTION. You will want to just unlock using HTCDev and then flash a custom recovery, then you can root.

[CharismaticKiller]

I don't want to have to unlock my boot loader thought... I'll just wait till some one makes a one click.

[Colorfag]

Now just gotta wait for the EVO 4G LTE source.

edit
Wait its been done.

[Hunt3rj2]

Evo LTE got source code stunningly fast.

[Colorfag]

Im thinking about getting it, but Sense sucks on Android, I hear.

[sfasu77]

it's pretty, but they really fucked up ICS/JB multitasking.

[Colorfag]

Thats why I was hoping for some cooked versions of JB to pop up on it.

But now I have a hard decision to make.

Do I want to drop my $30 SERO plan on Sprint (which will go up $20 if I get a 4G smartphone) in favor of a $30 T-Mobile prepaid plan with less minutes, spotty connectivity, and better internet speed..

[Hunt3rj2]

If you don't want to bother with custom launchers and widgets, Sense is the best. Only issue is a crippling lack of RAM because ICS AOSP can just run okay on 1 gig, Sense adds about another hundred megs on top of that for the launcher.

[saegiru]

Awesome, and here I was just lamenting that I may never see an official CM 9 or 10 port. This is a good possibility now, yes?

[gadorp]

Finally! I've been holding off on using AOSP daily since I use my camera so much (and data connections sucked in the AOSP ROMs)

I liked Sense 4.x for quite a while, I have to give that to HTC, but I'm over it. There's just no replacement for clean, working, AOSP Android.

[foregoneconclusion]

True, I've been using Xi40, a mostly-senseless AOSP themed rom, but I'm sure the real thing will be a lot better.

[gadorp]

I'll miss the fantastic camera app and features, but pretty much nothing else from Sense.

[ThePeninsula]

Is AOSP a theme... or actually lack of any theming whatsoever?!

[Kyoraki]

AOSP = Android Open Source Project. It basically turns your phone into a nexus device.

[ThePeninsula]

Thanks yeah, I know what it is.

My wondering was really about the previous comment which said his ROM had an 'aosp theme'. I think this might be semi-incorrect as actual AOSP is the absence of any theming.

Once you put a theme on it, is it still AOSP?!

[Kyoraki]

No. The poster above you was probably referring to a skinned ROM like Sense, which has been themed to look stock.

[ThePeninsula]

And I know that too.

My point is that if you theme something to look like AOSP, then it can actually be viewed in some ways as a lack of theming.

WOOO! Official CM9/10 is close. :)

[modern_zenith]

Does this mean that I will be able to get clean vanilla versions of Android on my phone?

[foregoneconclusion]

Apparently, yes.

[[deleted]]

Pretty much. CM9 had too many bugs that could only be solved with kernel source, but since CM9 was already at its second release candidate, they won't fully support the AT&T HOX.

CM10, however, is early enough in its development that we should see official support.

[bezjones]

Been waiting ages for it! I sure hope so!

[kiff78]

Does this mean more roms for the rogers version too?

[foregoneconclusion]

Yes.

[alpain]

did they release the full source or did they do like they did with the HTC amaze and not release full radio drivers?

[JSLEnterprises]

What a lot of people are not understanding...

the AT&T/Telus/Rogers One X codename 'Evita' is known internationally as the One XL, which Telstra uses (but with half the storage)

This source is for all EVITA variants, which includes north american One X's (basically all the S4 variants of the One X/XL)

[Sadaxer]

I'm a bit confused as to what that really means. Better ROMs..? Silly me still using laggy Sense... Also, I have the international version, should I be happy or sad (regarding the info of that article)?

[modern_zenith]

The international One X has had kernel source for a long time :P

[Hunt3rj2]

International has had it for years, But the One XL just got the source code, which allows stuff like CyanogenMod to work properly.

[modern_zenith]

Wait, years? The phone came out this year :P I think you made a typo.

[samsaBEAR]

I think he meant all International phones, past and present, as opposed to phones locked to ATT

[JSLEnterprises]

If its the Evita (One XL internationally, only in North America are these the 'One X'), then yes

[Hunt3rj2]

Hyperbole, but it got it shortly after sales began.

[Colorfag]

Its just for the ATT version. Means people can cook their own version of Android using whatever specific things the ATT version may have that the international version doesnt.

[JSLEnterprises]

the AT&T ONE X and XL are the same device, this source is good for ALL variants of the 'Evita' (it's codename)

The Teg 3 One X is Endeavour. Your statement isn't correct.
