I really wanted to love HTC. I bought and still enjoy my HTC One X for AT&T ... but their complete lack of support for the mod community, and in fact stonewalling them, has completely turned me off to the company.

I will never buy another HTC phone again.

I have the HTC One X (International Version) apart for the horrible thing that is HTC Sense 4 (apart from the camera improvements and certain dialer improvements), I've been able to root and load custom ROMS on my phone without any issues.

HTC even set up a site to make it easy to unlock the bootloader here: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader

I'm on the same page. I love the design of the phone, but the software is lacking and buggy, and the totally missing mod community ruins it.

I was an advocate when I first bought it but I've bitten the bullet and bought a Nexus 4. I'd rather have better working software than 4G.
