ARHD 9.1 for the One X

ARHD 9.1 for the One X

 

 

 

 

 

 

As soon as most people root a device they jump right in and go with a Cyanogen or a AOKP ROM for their phone. This can be for many reasons; to get rid of the system apps they dont want, to gain more features or to have a crisp version of Android.

I was one of those people, but when I got my HTC One X I went in a different direction. Mike1986 is a recognised XDA developer who has an amazing skill. He takes a stock ROM and makes it faster, more stable and gives it a much better battery life.

You may recognise the name. He was featured recently in a xda-developers post as this release is the first modified Sense 4.1 ROM for the HTC One X.

ARHD doesn’t allow much in the way of additional features or themes, but it does have one of the largest feature lists over the stock offering including:

Removed software (CPU) rendering – full nVidia Tegra 3 (GPU) rendering
Fully optimized and tweaked
ROOT (su + SuperSu Permissions – Thanks to chainfire)
Unsecured boot.img

OpenVPN support

This list and the amazing support from Mike and the community is the reason why it is my ROM of choice.
