I don't have the phone and I am considering buying one and I have some questions
is there going to be an official kitkat for xperia SP?
I have seen custom kitkat roms, how stable are they? do they work as well as the official JB rom? (I mean ex. for htc desire, there are a lot of kitkat roms but none are as stable as the official rom (camera does not work well (videocam doesn't work at all), phone call issues, crashes, etc..)

Actually, I would put it this way, it's the same device, with just a little bit different software inside. The one with LB has a software limitation that does not let you install original android roms. Now, on most devices bootloader can be unlocked, and if your stuck with the one one that cannot, here I may be wrong, there are some versions of original android that can still be installed on such phones. However, customized stock roms work fine so you're not loosing much.
I love my m7, and refuse to get another device, so i'm bummed that htc abandoned it...
anyway I have become a huge fan of the stock rooted gpe roms, and would like to port the gpe 6.0 rom from m8 to m7 gsm, right now we only have a broken cm 13 but...
I dont like cm
I want 6.0
I am not afraid of linux, been using it off and on for years, usually in between major game releases tying me to windows... lol
but i have never ported a rom or built one from source, I have found several useful tutorials on building aosp, but i get stuck at the device specific bits.
so i figgure porting the gpe rom using the existing cm 13 as a base would be ideal, if anyone could point me to any usefull tutorials, or help walk me through it, I would really apretiate it,
I have always wanted to build and port roms with little... correction no success.
I'm just wondering if anyone is still doing ROMs for the M9? I thought about updating to a newer phone, but I am happy with the hardware, I'm just hoping that someone is still out there willing to build a ROM since I'd prefer to just update my phone to Android 7.0 rather than looking for a new phone.
I'm going to guess that the answer to my question is a big fat "no" unfortunately... boo

Viper LeeDroid and ICE are all still developing for the m9, but waiting for new base

Is this a tmobile m9 or an unlocked dev m9?
Hi Folks, my buddy has an HTC One M7 for Sprint and is looking to get into custom ROM's for the first time. I'll help him with getting it installed.
I'm unfamiliar with development for M7 and hoping someone can recommend a custom ROM that has everything working properly and as few bugs as possible.
Not too concerned with Android version or anything other than "it works great".
Just as long as phone calling, camera, texting, wifi, etc. etc. all work without trouble.
Suggestions?
EDIT:
Looks like custom Nougat ROM's are all reported to have some form of bluetooth issues.
So with Oreo too new, I'm looking for Lollipop or Marshmallow it seems.
Hey Guys, I've owned various devices and always unlocked and installed custom roms on them, but this device doesn't have too much custom roms, soo actually I don't have unlocked yet, who already unlocked is it worth it? the roms available(custom and treble roms), and custom kernels have better performance over stock? And if I wanted to return to stock I gonna have some kind of trouble or not?
