Vanilla android?

I was waiting on the sgs4, but after the cringe worthy unveiling last night…Im not 100% sold on it. Even with a nice vanilla rom, the hardware looks a bit boring (yeah, the screen does look nice…plus I bet the cpu+gpu will be awesome)…so my next choice is the HTC One. However, I don’t see any posts talking about Roms (other than stock/sense roms)…is this because its new…or is there an issue and custom vanilla android roms might not come out straight away?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I know whats what before jumping in (I know for example, the sgs2 couldn’t get JB roms working 100% because it was missing the Sammy HW compressor at one point)
Cheers guys

It's just a matter of time till the No-Sense script (I believe that's what it was called for most htc phones) is adapted for the One.
However, out of the box you should be able to use something like Nova launcher to give you as much vanilla as you can get without rooting.
Hope it helped

You have to wait for someone to develope AOSP for this device. Typically, you have some one try to get CM going, then you'll get aokp and so on if this device is popular enough.

Would be Sony Ericsson, but the Xperia X1 was build by HTC just Software was SE.

it will need some time until someone figures out how everthing works with snapdragon cpu and until htc delivers some kernel sources... hopefully they will update to 4.2.2 anytime soon with kernel sources to get stable cm10.1

ROMs ?

Are people working on ROMs for this phone? I only ask because I make the plunge Friday and I recently realized how amazing this phone is. I have tiny hands.. so... I'm souped. But I'm not sure if it will get 4.2.2, or 4.3 or 5.0 or whatever next Android version comes out. And also, I love what Paranoid Android has been putting out. Just wondering if things like that are happening behind the scenes. Didn't see any other threads or posts about it.

I would assume that once HTC releases the kernel source code, this phone will receive similar love as many other photos do. I will personally do my best to ensure that CyanogenMod becomes available for it if no one else steps up to take care of it. The fact that it ships with stock Android can only make that task easier.

Having a RUU available in case something goes haywire definitely helps too. A lot of people don't want to change the firmware dramatically just yet if they don't have the ability to roll it back to factory.

This is true. I'm gonna guess the RUU should be released soon? The One's RUU was just released This makes my decision a little bit more difficult but in the best way cause now I could get this phone and not be too upset since it should get upgraded at this rate. Much love guys. Thanks. Been itching for an android device with great battery that fits in my hand.

Wouldn't a nandroid backup be more than enough to allow users to roll back to stock if they choose to? Or are you talking about something more than that?

A RUU would completely revert everything back to stock -- bootloader, recovery, system, radio, etc.

i played with one of these when i got my One
we could probably get a sense 4+ or sense 5 port going on it

Lol that would be counterproductive. I think one of the reasons people like the first is because it DOES NOT have Sense!

[Q] Non-Broken KitKat ROMs?

Is it just me, or does the Sprint HTC One seem to be completely overlooked by ROM developers? TWRP for Sprint HTC One is still only 2.6.3.0 despite 2.6.3.3 and 2.6.3.4 being out for other phones for months. Nearly every ROM I have looked at seems to support every HTC One variant except for Sprint. If you want Sprint support, you have to use an older version. The latest CWM for m7spr does support KitKat, and I have been able to install CM11 nightly, but this is extremely buggy, and every nightly build seems to introduce as many new problems as it solves. Is there any stable KitKat ROM that doesn't suck and supports Sprint? Is there a reason developers hate Sprint users? Please someone tell me the answer to this.

Well I'm on the official cm11 from 1/3 and its running perfectly now for me except the browser once l toggled the data to CDMA/lte but that's it. Ecliptic seems to run as good as any other 5.5 on 4.4 Sense in my experience with it. I only use Sense a little because since the 4.3 ota the WiFi doesn't upload data at all and I use that way too much to tolerate that absence but the devs overlook it. Oh well cm it is until its fixed by Sprint.

No offense but if you bothered to do a simple Google search, you'd find that an official 4.4 OTA for sprint is not yet released which is why there is a lack of stable 4.4 roms...

Agree with the need to do a search before complaining about the devs sucking around here (which is effectively what was said, imho).
I have to dissent from the 'no stable kitkit' ROMs, though. For instance, EclipicONE [4.4] is quite stable -- it is, after all, based on InsertCoin and I can't imagine anyone suggesting @baadnewz creates anything other than extremely stable ROMs when he says they're good to go, and @hawknest is clearly no slouch either. I've used EclipticONE since the final test versions for my day to day -- no problems at all and fact it's outperforming my 4.3 ROMs (generally use ViperONE or InsertCoin) handily in battery, speed (I clocked it up to the 1.7 our processor is supposed to be, but even the default 1.1GHz top end runs totally smoothly) and general operations.
Not on a high horse here -- just saying ... I find we do in fact have stable kitkat based roms.

Eliptic is super stable. It can't get better than this. Plus it has s2w and s2s

Without tooting my own horn(cuz it ain't me who designs this ROM, I just build it), BS 4.4.205 is one of the best KK custom ROMs around, and I check. It does not have a completely bug-free experience, but for the scale of what is offered in options versus what doesn't work properly, you can't do much better anywhere. Most of the other custom ROMs are still implementing KK. As far as stock or stock-based, the earlier comments are all true. I do feel as though development here has stalled, and in general, Sprint is the ugly stepchild of the carrier system, based on how the phone is designed to run(totally different than any other carrier). Most of the truly gifted and knowledgeable devs have already moved on to the next big thing, which unfortunately, is the name of the game around here. But, I love my m7spr, and although I am not a coding guru, I plan to stick around for a while and try to get more cool ROM choices out there.

Thanks for joining XDA nearly 4 years ago and only posting 7 times. Good thing you used one of those 7 for this stupid post to discourage the developers we do have for Sprint. Boo I say, Boo!

I'm getting really annoyed with these 'did you search first, stupid?' posts. Get off yourself. Yeah, there's a lot of information out there, but most of it's junk/spam, obsolete or completely irrelevant. There's so much crap info out there. If someone is unsure enough about something to get to the point of asking a question to get an answer, and you know the answer, just answer it.
Google 'sprint kit kat htc one'. Kind of interesting sure, but absolutely none of that is useful information esp in helping TV4FUN get an answer. Blogspot opinions, link farms copying things over and over, unrelated sprint and Moto(?!) info and random HTC ad crap, etc.
Similar experience to TV4FUN.. IMO there are no daily drivers for KK yet, probably not until Sprint KK and source is released. Much thanks to the devs who are working hard to get there though.

Yes thank you. I am using EclipticONE now and it is quite stable. By the way, does vDM client do anything important?

I'm confused about this because little by little we are getting more and more roms for this phone more than when I first got here. A lot of the aosp issue we have the other variants of the m7 have as well and a lot are Google based issues, one reason the devs are having issues is that kit kat has changed a lot even cyanogen him self has said so.
Be patient and remember no one here gets paid for this, they do it out of love for Android and a little respect I believe is deserved.
Edit: Mods should have closed this a while ago because it kills moral.

Ecliptic is good enough for a daily driver. In my opinion so are the nocturnal roms. I have never tried beanstalk so I cannot speak to that. But I think there are plenty of options out there. I guess it just boils down to how picky you are.

I would like to know what about ecliptic kk is not stable? just my 2 cents but most these issues people complain about are self induced due to lack of research or just nit picky! Come to think of it there isn't a single sense rom atleast that I have tried that isn't damn near perfect. I for one am feel very fortunate to be a part of the sprint m7 community

Planning to buy HTC One - Some questions :D

Hi People,
Finally I have decided to move on from my beloved HTC Incredible S which has been my companion for more than 2 years now and I chose HTC One to be its successor (Yeah I am a HTC Fanboy so my obvious choice was HTC itself). But there are couple of questions that I would like to get answers to before I zero in on it.
1. If I get a HTC One Sense Version, is it easy to install the Google Edition ROM on it? because I love switching roms often and like Latest Updates on my phone just to experience it
2. How is the future of this handset? I am asking it because, my Incredible S had begun with GingerBread and now with awesome developers, I can install KitKat in it too Thats a whole long journey on it.. Just wanted to know if the hardware and processor is future proof because after spending wholesome money on it, I dont want it to get stuck at kitkat
I checked the forum and found that there are whole lot of ROMs available for HTC One and I am excited to go for it. So any guidance here would be wonderful

1. Wouldn't say it was easy. Just be sure to do your research. Read all the relevant topics and so everything exactly as detailed. Here's just one of the many threads you should read.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781
2. Apparently stock sense will be supported until next major release 4.5 or 5.
Custom ROMs will go well beyond that I'm sure. Don't know where official gpe support will end.

Oh the Google Edition will be supported max till 2 updates eh? Didnt know that..
Also, why I was asking because, even if official souce code was stopped by HTC.. Devs had developed kernels from scratch and kept the In credible S Alive.. I would love the same happening here..
Any devs who can give info

Didn't say that. Said sense will be supported to either 4.5 or 5. Whichever comes first. I.e. one more big release.
GPE anyone know? Will it follow the nexus 18 month support?

Will the custom Firmware of this Single Sim Ones work on that?? Or there is a separate forum for that?

Miui Rom

Would any developer be willing to create an MIUI or IOS ROM for the HTC Desire 626 Metro PCs?

MIUI: Would they- No ; Could they- Yes, but there is not a single reason to do so.
iOS - Impossible
Also, wrong section. Please try to follow forum guidelines and post in the appropriate section (q&a)

Probably a reference to JoyOS, an iOS cloned theme that was last seen around the time CM 7 was still the most popular ROM. To my knowledge the original Chinese forum which was doing the heavy lifting abandoned this quite some time ago. With the exception of the Goophone I don't think anyone is doing full conversion ROMs which resemble iOS anymore and their systems don't seem to have been dumped and translated yet, which by this time indicates there is no interest.

That explains the reason why there's no more ios rom creation. But, what about MIUI? The os of MIUI has dramatically evolved over the past 4 years. Am I tripping, or is it that no one wants to take a crack at creating a rom for us little guys for devices such as the HTC Desire 626s?

Believe it or not rom creation is hard and relies on having the sources available (which not all companies will do--HTC used to be better than most about this which is why I took a chance on this phone) and on having developers who have the phone and are capable\willing to do the hard work of making a complete AOSP or Cyangogenmod version of the base operating system. Only after that has been completed do you usually start to see more exotic systems like MIUI, Mokee, ParanoidAndroid, etc, get ported over. Even then there's a dirty little secret about Android roms:
Most of them never get 100% compatibility and hardware support. Ever. Despite the best efforts of the porters.
I had an HTC One V which did well for its time but the camera never quite made it to 100% hardware support. Same thing with bluetooth. My LG Optimus F3 never quite got anywhere with roms and eventually I gave up on it and moved on to the HTC Desire 626s which despite some solid efforts at producing the slimmed down version I am currently running also does not seem to have any real custom android roms.
This goes back to my first point: Rom creation is hard.
That's why even when people put up bounties and buy phones for well known rom hackers who have produced many ports, it still doesn't always result in new roms. Because it's a lot harder than it looks.
I was spoiled initially, I had an LG Optimus V which quickly had a custom rom built for it with very good hardware support which was lean and clean. There were custom kernels for it and it quickly had all sorts of ports of everything from CM7 to JoyOS to MIUI to Mokee and friends within a relatively short period of time. It was the little phone that could and I mistakenly believed that because lightening struck and all sorts of good things were happening this was how it always was. Not even close to the case.
I got lucky. The LG Optimus V was cheap enough that it attracted all sorts of interest from a variety of the right people at the right time. This kind of thing isn't even close to being normal. Some times you get lucky, sometimes you don't.
So why not MIUI? Well I'm sorry to say but for one thing MIUI is heavy. It's heavy like Touchwiz or Sense can be, and that sort of thing can only be helped with massive amounts of optimization. Sadly not every phone has a developer (or group of developers) who are willing to do that sort of thing for free.
So all I can say is appreciate the level of development we've got and be thankful for the work of the developers who have released a slimmer rom for us already. If you need a MIUI rom for your phone, you should probably track the releases here before buying. If you check the forums, you'll see you are not alone. There are lots of people who want MIUI ports.

Thank you. You have truly answered my questions, even ones I wondered about but didn't ask. I am greatly satisfied with what you have said. I understand that rom creation is hard and it can take a toll on the one creating the rom. It's not an easy task. I to had a Samsung galaxy epic 4g touch, which had all sorts of roms for it. But also knowing from experience, you are correct. It is a hit and miss sometimes with some devices you buy. Maybe as newer devices are created, the ability to create ROMs for them gets harder because of the upgraded technology and coding. I could be wrong. On the miui official site, they is a list of devices that they support. But most of them are old school and i surely wouldn't want to take a step down from this phone just to have miui. Then the newer phones in some cases cost more than this phone(referring to the HTC desire 626). I do appreciate the effort that has been put forth for a slimmed down version for this phone. But what I've asked in previous threads was whether or not there is root access yet for the mm update for the metro PCs version of the HTC desire 626s. No bites what so ever. I'm guessing either there isn't any or I'm just not coming across it yet. Any help on that would be highly appreciated. But all in all, I would really like to say thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I appreciate that. You have brought some clarity to the table. I wouldn't mind help supporting a developer who would be willing to create an miui rom for our device once a cyanogenmod version is acquired.

By any chance would you mind telling me how you rooted it? I know how to unlock the bootloader, but where do I get the custom recover from and su?

The custom recovery is posted in this thread and used this> supersu.zip, fastboot flash the recovery and then flash the supersu.zip in recovery. After flashing supersu and booting up install busybox.
BUT don't forget to make a backup, just incase.

Thank you sir for the info. I am unlocked and rooted again. Now, I'll sit back and wait for some debloated roms to pop up for 6.0.1 2.17.1550.1 Metro PCS.

Hey, if you're still interested in Miui, you could try installing the launcher app, see if that gives you enough of the miui experience to get by until someone eventually makes a port?

Wish I could, but it isn't compatible with mashmallow.

My bad. Here I found the app in my Play Store history, (from before Google made it country specific?) and installed it. It immediately crashed but stayed open. From there I updated it from within the launcher settings and it crashed again. Just as I was about to give up I had a brainstorm and went back into settings and turned off the lockscreen. This made it stop crashing for me. I hunted around for Beautiful Widgets and replaced the clock and installed miui theme for it and everything looks good from here.
So I installed Titanium Backup and uploaded the app. Hopefully this helps you.
