Root Android 4.2.1 at anypoint?

I have been browsing these and many other forums for a while. I understand that the source to 4.2 dropped back in october. However, HTC has not yet released a factory rom for the 4g LTE. I have been browsing hard for this since December. Main reason is that the 4.2 update fixes texts to actually support group chat from any other OS native in android without some bloated app.

I keep seeing tons of 4.1.2 roms. If I wanted my phone to look like a samsung I would have purchased one. Why does everyone keep making 4.1.2 roms that dont have sense and that look like other platforms. I have been able to find one 4.2 rom by a smaller developer and he is struggling to get the bluetooth to work. In the meantime there is even a 4.2 rom for the original EVO. I dont want some 4.1.2 rom that looks cool and then crashes when I try to dial 911 or do something else simple like send a txt.

So, dont take this the wrong way but, please stop trying to reinvent the wheel and just release a 4.2 rom with stock sense and everything else that comes on the phone... Thanks
 
This is ment to be motivational... not being a dick. Sorry if people took this the wrong way.

I like flashy things too. I also like my phone to work.

Yeah at this point I'm pretty much only running roms that are pretty much fully functional. My days of putting up with crashes and bugs just to be running the latest rom are over.
 
I don't know what features HTC might add to it if/when the update comes, but as far as changes to AOSP from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1, it really isn't that big a deal. Multiple users is kind of useful on a tablet, but pointless on a phone. Toggles have already been a part of skins for a while, and I've personally never used the lockscreen widgets.
 
There isn't going to be a 4.2 Rom with sense until HTC releases one.

There is no source for sense, so we can't build it till they push it out
