May I ask why 4.2 and not regular Jelly Bean or ICS? Some things on stock are glitchy on Jelly Bean. So if you want something with little to no glitches I'd stick with ICS. Food for thought, haha.

4.2 ports are still buggy and unstable, for the time being you'd be much better suited looking for 4.1 ROMs.

You would need to root it and install a custom ROM on it

I agree with Tim, a custom ROM is what you need. Sense slows down devices, and some people do prefer stock instead of a theme.

Thanks, first I will root the Phone, and then I will search for that ROM and i'll try to install that :D

hmm when i startup fastboot, and get the identifier token, it keeps waiting for device. I am in fastboot mode on my Phone. when I was searching on the internet some people said that I had to update my usb drivers. but when I try to do that it says that it isnt possible (im running windows 8 pro x64) any help?

I have no idea sorry, I've never rooted that phone, the best bet would be to ask them on the XDA forums

Are you sure you're in fastboot mode? Your phone will say something on the lines of USB fastboot or something like that. I'm talking with my phone the HTC MyTouch 4G which is kind of similar.

yeah, I shutdown my htc, then hold volume down + powerbutton until this white screens pops up with some text. then i select fastboot and hit the powerbutton to select. I assume im in fastboot mode now?

You should type in the commands to see if it's registered with fastboot. Type in with command prompt (I'd prefer it if you have it with admin rights for precaution): fastboot devices.

yeah im really sure im in fastboot mode. this is the way i did it: hold power button + volume down when a screen comes up, select fastboot and hit the powerbutton to select. I assume this is the right way?

Yes, just type in the command with command prompt to see if the computer registered your fastboot devices. If not try installing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=934771&d=1331067879
