HTC has been pretty good at updating their HTC One Series phones, fixing those little glitches that are always plague newly released phones. HTC has also promised that their beloved HTC One phones will be getting some of that chewy candy Jelly Bean. Now we all know that OEMs make promises to us and, even though they fulfill that promise, we will probably not see that update for quite a while. Nothing against them, it just takes time to get an OTA update ready in a quick amount of time.
Well then our awesome developers come in to save the day, kind of. In this case, HTC One X…ICS…Sense 4.1. Not quite Jelly Bean, but it is ICS with Sense 4.1 that has just come out of the Android oven, and is ready for you to try.
