There are a variety of custom ROMs for the HTC One V CDMA variant. If you're not satisfied with your stock ROM, or you simply want to experience pure Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, you can flash custom ROMs based on the latest OS, such as the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM.
XDA Developers member rukin5197 shares the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM for the CDMA variant of the One V. With this ROM, you can enjoy the pure flavor of Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean without any modified Android skin on top.
You will also enjoy tweaked performance and features that you cannot enjoy on a stock ROM. The AOKP Jelly Bean ROM, however neat, is not an official ROM for your phone and may contain some bugs. Wi-Fi Hotspot, auto brightness, and the camcorder are not yet fully functional. Nevertheless, flashing this ROM will allow you to enjoy the latest and purest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on your One V.
This guide shows you how to flash AOKP Jelly Bean ROM for the One V CDMA.
