Best/Correct Stock Unrooted ROM for USA?

While I'm no noob when it comes to Android/rooting/flashing, this is my first unlocked overseas phone. As soon as I unboxed it I immediately used ODIN to flash the latest Open European Stock ROM and am still running stock unrooted and will probably stay that way. I've never had all of these options before as far as stock ROM's go with all of the different versions for different countries, and I keep reading about a ROM from a certain country is getting a newer update than mine, etc. So my question is am I on the best/correct stock ROM (latest Open European) for using the phone in the USA on Straight Talk? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anything obviously, but since I have no need for an Arabic keyboard for example would it cause me possible issues to flash an Arabic ROM if it's newer and would there even be any advantages for me? I hope my question makes sense (pretty tired at the moment), and it goes without saying that I mean no offense to people that do need Arabic, it was just an example.

Well the more reading that I do it seems as though Germany gets the latest and greatest first, so I might try the new LB1 Open Germany tomorrow morning since it's a non-wipe...

OK, so I loaded the new LB1 Open Germany yesterday morning, but it looks like I also need to change my CSC from KOR to DBT to match, which will unfortunately wipe my phone.
Before I proceed does anyone have any answers to my original question? Is the LB1 Open Germany ROM the best choice for running on Straight Talk in the US or would I be better off with a different ROM/CSC? My concern of course is the best compatibility in the US, but if the ROM choice doesn't matter for that then I'd like to pick the one that gets the newest OTA updates first, which I think is Germany from the reading I've done.
Thanks!

I too wish someone else would chime in. I am also on straight talk. This is also my first international phone. I flashed from kk1 to la3 open europe. After 1 day of use it looks like this has worse battery life than kk1 Hong Kong. I'm rooted with 1 percent mod and crt off. Android OS is the dominant process even with my screen timeout set to 10 minutes and me leaving it on constantly. Over 3 hours i think it was...cleared my stats just now, ran batt to 0 for first time. I've only had the phone 3 days but I'm lovin it.
Looking for stock builds to hold me over until the inevitable official ice cream sandwich release

Oh and since i obviously don't post alot, i have to say so far both builds feel slow to turn on. And home jump is laggy. Lock screen was slow on kk1, fine on la3. Hope someone finds this info useful...

I would be interested as well. I am usung the stock KK1 that my phone came with and want to stick with non-custom roms for now. Thanks!

Did you try lb1 yet? How's battery life with either la4 or lb1?

If you are on the Hong Kong KK1, there was an update to LA2 a few weeks back which includes all the newer features.
Regarding CSC, you only need to change it if you want to get OTA upgrades for the rom, but since you are happy flashing via ODIN, why bother changing it.

I guess I'm just anal and would like my phone to be set up perfectly. And although I'm quite happy to just use ODIN (and probably will to get ICS sooner) I read in another thread that my CSC not matching is why my APN won't auto configure. Not sure if that's true for sure, but mine won't and I've had all kinds of trouble with data this week.

Should LA2 have been pushed OTA? I have checked for updates but have always gotten the "you have the latest version" message.

I see that this LA2 is not rootable and that I will lose root if I flash it. Is that correct? I also see that it will wipe the device. If it is worth it, I could flash it and then wait for ICS. This is really an interim solution until an official ICS build is released. Thanks!

AFAIK Straight Talk APN does not auto configure.

Being a relative newb here, what is Straight Talk? I presume it is a method of network identification but otherwise I have no clue. I have read, however, that some other folks' notes' APNS's did automatically get configured and am wondering why mine didn't. Thanks!

Straight Talk is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) that uses (resells) AT&T and T-Mobile under their own name. It's a great deal because it's $45 a month for unlimited everything, although I hear you should keep under 2GB (or 3GB) per month.

Mine have never auto configured, i think you are correct.
Lb1 after 1 day feels good. Doesnt wake as fast as it could...but better. Home jump still slow. O well better battery thus far, os is not dominant!
By the way, check the theme section if you want cwm flashable crt off and batt percent, i made a package for lb1

Yes I used straighttalksim.com and went back to the APN settings on the card last night. Data is slow but at least more stable today than it has been all week. Keeps flipping between 3G, H and H+ though.

ARHD 10.1 Help with constant data switching

Maybe someone can help me. Clean flashed to ARHD 10.1 a week ago and am having an issue with constantly dropping my data connections. My phone is pretty much constantly going from LTE to 4g to no data connection when not on WiFi. I'm on AT&T. Anything I can do? I'm not a pro at anything beyond basic Rom flashing. Thinking of just going back to stock. Thanks for any help!

I had this happen before. I turned off my HTC One, used the SIM tool, removed the SIM and reinserted the SIM and it fixed my data issues. Maybe that'll work. Hope that helps.

I just flashed the newest version of ARHD (that's android revolution HD, for the person who asked) 10.2 and don't seem to be having the issue anymore. I'm not sure if it had something to do with only being able to select the international version during Aroma install on 10.1, or what was going on. Might have also been a combination of things. At any rate, i figured I'd post in here, as I'm trying to get my post count up, so I can post in forums actually dedicated to the Roms. Cheers, everyone! :good:

ha! I'm doing the same thing. This is what I get for getting an iPhone. Glad you got it squared away.

HTC One, not compatible?

Hi, I'm going to recieve the chromecast tomorrow and I was looking at the google cast app on the playstore and it says that it's not compatible with my device. Has any HTC One owner experienced this? I don't want to sideload it since I want to get notified of the updates...
Any ideas?
Thanks

Fwiw you don't need the app for anything. Setup can be done through a web browser. It just makes it easier by automatically connecting to the hotspot and stuff

I'm running the stock rom on my One and it works just fine. It is definitely just a country restriction.

HTC Android 4.4.4 Discussion [Released 10/28/14]

Seems like there is an update scheduled for our phone's in the coming weeks...
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Neat

I'll believe it when the update hits my phone.

Doesn't matter to me. I just want to know what difference will it really make? Is this an update just to keep the users happy and make them feel like HTC got their back?
I'm not knocking them or anything, because I certainly don't see myself choosing another manufacturer any time soon...but why claim that 4.4.4 changes were baked into 4.4.3, then give it to use anyway?

5.0 is more worth the wait than that 4.4.4

We need to wait for a Sprint OTA.

Exactly,
Everyone its the firmware we need and also i can only speak for myself but i want a new radio too! the int rom is nice to have those new features but without the updated firmware and radios it really makes it not worth it.
I am sure the OTA will be here any day now. Fingers crossed

[Question] Please Help!!!!

I still don't receive notifications on WiFi and sometimes WiFi lags and I have to disconnect and reconnect for it to work again(I have tried many different WiFis that all my other devices work on). I have tried to clean flash, flashed different radios,different ROMs(Blisspop&Benzo) and asked for help many times and haven't received any it's very frustrating. Can someone please help me resolve this issue.

I see from some of your other posts that you're running Blisspop. Have you tried running another ROM or better yet, going stock?
Do you have this problem on different Wi-Fi networks? As in, not only at home with your own router?

I'd recommend just going stock and seeing if your problem persists or not before starting with the tinkering.
No idea about Marshmallow and multirom, but if it isn't working now, I'm sure it soon will.
Good luck.
