[q] Upgrading hboot? Worth it? - HTC One X

Hi all!
I've seen a lot of talk about new versions of hboot around lately but what I'm not seeing is what they bring, and if it's worth going through the rigmarole to get the updated version installed and then having to modify my boot.img for CM10 nightlies to work etc. etc.
In short:
What do new version of hboot do for us?

The ability to install JB ROMs with Sense.

CM 6.0.1 - Should I bother using a different kernel?

Keep the kernel that came with CyanogenMod 6.0.1 or use a different one, that is the question.
Please discuss below.

He didn't mention custom, he said the one that came with it. I'm actually thinking the same question. Anyone?

If none of the other kernels work, I suppose that answers my question. I was under the impression that you could use any kernel with any rom.

Nooooo. Most kernels will list ROMs they were tested on to determine compatibility and stability...
For instance, KingxKlick's kernels are specifically meant for 2.2 Sense ROMs, no others i.e. CM6...
I mean you can always try kernels I guess. I mean that's what nandroid is for, right
There is no other kernel that works with CM6.

I can't say for certain that these will work with the stock ROM, but they are your best bet.
UnityV4
Virtuous Sense a7
Have you conisidered try a custom ROM? if you want to keep it as stock as possible I recommended Virtuous Sense 2.0
Try unity v4 kernel, its for all sense based runs. Let's you OC up to 1.7 ghz. Link is in my signature.

Thanks a lot ill try them both...
I don't actually want to try a custom ROM right now, as i really like the stock one as it is. I may well try that one though when im bored of it! Is that sense 2.1 or just 2.0?

It is sense 2.1, it is based off the official 2.3.3 DZ update, think of it as what you have all ready but with optimizations.
Oh and welcome to the DZ forums.

That is correct, download rom manager, flash CWM, boot in to CWM and flash .zip
Easy, but if you need anymore help, hop over to the Virtuous Rom IRC and I will be happy to talk you through it

There is a way but I'm very well versed in how to do it. If you read the DZ/G2 wiki it links you to a guide on to root 2.3.3.
if you need further help head to the 'G2ROOT IRC channel
I updated to the 2.3.3 OTA too, and I followed this guide here :

[Q] ICS with any Sense?

Hi,
Is it possible to have Sense (any version, 1.9-3.5) with ICS on our Desire? How hard to do it would be?
It requires the HTC Sense Framework, which isn't included in any ICS rom to date. I don't count on it that it'll be included anytime soon, or, ever.
have a read of this but do not post anything whatsoever as its for developers only and the moderators will pounce and ban anyone who spams etc.

[Q] porting cdma to gsm

Hi,

It seems to be a kitkat version for the CDMA version of the One V. I would really like to port kitkat to the primou version, i wonder: is it possible to port it? How? what will i need to do? I am desperate to get kitkat, to make it a less crappy phone...

You dont know how happy i am with this. Is there any place i can check the progress?
It is most likely very possible. But not advised at the moment. Give it some time to mature as a rom. The creator of the rom is a pretty talented individual and will squash the remaining issues it has in time. Then it will be ready for a real port!! Until then I would wait. But in the end it is up to you. Speak with the rom developer first and ask for permissions to port if you do decide to go ahead with the attempt to port.
we dont have a 4.4. kernel, unless you're making one.

not possible because only port will work for same android version like 4.4 to 4.4 not 4.2 to 4.4
and the most important thing is kernel which we don't have

We seem to do have an S-off, with that, can't we make a kernel?
Yeah you can try

the only thing S-OFF can allow that "benefits" kernels is making the boot partition larger. there's really no point in that though, unless someone ever makes a boot.img so large it needs a new partition.

[Q] Tether on Sense 6?

Has anyone ahd any luck with using wireless tethering on the sense 6 update (have unlimited data so it is not included in my plan.....)
It should work just fine. Santod unlocks it in all his Roms. The others should do so as well but I don't know for sure.
