HTC One - Google Edition is coming!

Fully story here at androidcentral[dot]com
This should be great, as porting it to the Sprint version should be a piece of cake for the guys at CM. When this comes out, we should have a fully functioning CM 10.1 rom for the HTC One

I wonder if this will be an official ota flash maybe an option for is running sense

Still not official. At this point, it sure does sound like it could happen, but I'm still skeptical until I hear that official press release.

Safe to say it's official.

Again, I'm still skeptical. It's probably going to happen, but until I see the press release, it's still just rumors.

with multiple sites reporting it, I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
I highly doubt that HTC will put out an official AOSP Rom for the Sprint/Sense versions we already have, but a developer could easily port the rom to our phones.

Weapons of mass destruction too.
They did a story about it and there are not too many benefits about running stock on this.
You lose out on Zoe and Beats Boom sound.
What HTC needed to do was add a shutter button.

I would be more than willing to give up Zoe and Beats Audio (Which is basically just an EQ setting you could replicate in CM) in exchange for pure google 4.2.2 ROM, or CM 10.1

Only if...
I agree with the physical shutter button. One like the evo 3d had would be awesome.
I am very very excited at the potential for aosp...but I would miss zoe.

I hate the shutter button. Always hitting it on accident on the LTE.
OP, thanks for heads up about this :thumbup:

It'll work but getting the radios to function over will be a chore I would imagine.
I'm sad they just don't flat out have a CDMA version to go along with it.

Back to Nexus.

Yeah got pretty sick of my Galaxy S4 and it's mf3 update. Specs really don't matter to me as long as everything is stable. The only thing I'll really miss is the ir blaster. I debated on going to the htc one all the way up to the xperia z1. I'm just gonna wait. Can anyone recommend me some good roms? Something stable with features like Halo and Focal and all the good stuff? I know there's a lot and I'm late, but I'm sure there a lot of others looking for the same answers since google sold out of nexus 4s and theres a lot of new users. I should have mine tomorrow morning.

Well, HTC devices are very high quality, after you get past the carrier blocks to root, unlock bootloader, s-off and flash a custom rom, (aosp preferably because its always newer than sense).
But I'd rather get the updates first at the cost of a camera not being as good and ease of rooting.

I agree. HTC is my favorite when it comes to hardware. I've had the N1 and a One X+ from them.This is going to be my first LG. I know when Google works with companies on their Nexus phones they're usually top notch. My last one was a Galaxy Nexus and I was amazed by the build and it felt perfect in the hands. I can't wait to see how the Nexus 5 is.

Yes, I think you are right, but as we commented in another thread the other day (the sony nexus concept phone) there are some brands who could never work with google to make THE NEXUS. They can make google editions, as samsung and htc did, but the nexus, in my opinion, has to be a cheaper phone, so sony and htc should be out of this game...

True but the fact that it boasts about waterproof, build quality and parts, gaming controller instigation for Ps3 and PS4 it's almost like they know how to build a sturdy tablet. Nexus 7 just has a popular dad and a reliable company which makes it popular.

I actually used it a lot. I would use it when I lost my remotes and got too lazy to look for them. At the sports bars to mess with my friends and some other random things. The funniest part of having it was when people would ask what app I used. Mainly iPhone users. Then i would have to explain it needs an ir blaster! Maybe the next iPhone will have them (not) lol

Try Vanir ROM. It's the smoothest and fastest I've used, it has some unique features and a CM10.2 base. Also has Pie, Halo, Focal and tons of USEFUL tweaks.

Selling HTC One to get a Nexus 5

Quick question, would you sell your HTC One to get a Nexus 5?
I'm thinking of doing it, but not sure yet.
Don't get me wrong I love the One, but getting a new device is always exciting.

I wouldn't. IMO, the roll-outs for software updates are coming fairly rapidly for HTC with the One. Nexus would get it's updates directly from Google, which has the upside of getting it first, but other than that, and having a "clean" Android phone, there really isn't any point to it for me. To each his own, though...

go get it!
by the way, last thing you wana do is ask htc one users or nexus 5 , if you need a unbiased view u have to go outside this group and watch online videos and see if its worth it. This always works on people who cant make decisions.

I'm keeping my One and getting a N5. If It did come down to it though I probably would sell it. I do prefer stock android and I like quick updates. HTC is doing a good job, but I like having them immediately. Only reason I'm keeping my One to be honest is the 64gb of storage I need for music listening purposes.

I went a head and ordered one from Google. It will take 3 to 4 weeks to ship.
I can cancel anytime before my order ships, just waiting on some reviews to see how the Nexus does.
Thanks for all your feedback!

I'm thinking about it. I'm just afraid the speakers won't be as great on the Nexus. Anyone know how the Nexus 5 speakers compare to our stereo boomsound?

Nexus 5 speaker flat out sucks compared to One..
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Nope! I wouldn't
- way better speaker(s) on the One
- Cotulla is here bringing us Windows goodness ?
- I've heard android 4.4 and snapdragon 800 are the only pro's for the N5, of which we'll get Android 4.4 soon enough and snapdragon 600 is powerful enough
- I love the aluminum unibody too much to let it go
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I wouldn't just cause I like the One more than Nexus 5. Other than 4.4 which we probably will get soon enough there isn't much to make me really want to get the 5. Plus I like having the option of using Sense and not having just different AOSP roms.

Software updates coming quickly from HTC... are you joking?
4.3 and Sense 5.5 has not even been sent out OTA yet here in the UK and now we are on 4.4... so we will get that about this time next year then from HTC officially!!!!

I would say no.
I was very keen on getting a Nexus 5.. was sat waiting for the official release online on Thursday, kept refreshing websites etc, but over the weekend I have totally changed my mind as like others have said, the only real big advantage is 4.4, Snapdragon 800 and quick to receive updates.
HTC One is only a little behind on speed, has higher dpi and far far better speakers. Now I like the latest version of Android asap and hate waiting, so here is what I did today and would suggest to others.. I converted my HTC One to a Google Play Edition. I now have a nice clean install, no bloatware, OTA updates, so I should receive my 4.4 update when it rolls out in i believe about 2 weeks, maybe less.
I didn't use blinkfeed or Zoes or any of that stuff so losing Sense 5.5 is no loss for me.
I have a nice warm feeling inside now that my HTC One is soon to be just as good as the Nexus 5 when I get 4.4, until then, I can handle it being a little under par...

It'd be nice if they would simply make an 8-ultra-pixel camera, I only skipped the "One" simply because of the resolution limitations & memory-expansion.

They(HTC) no longer hold a stake in the company itself, but that doesn't mean they don't still have licensing. From what I heard, Beats will continue to be offered.....but, that could just be rumor too.....

According to these articles, it sounds like the M8 isn't going to be much better than our current device. 2GB of RAM, UltraPixel camera (no reference about actual pixel count)
I hope these specs are not correct because I will not be getting it if they are.
HTC you need to step up your game on this device.

I'm ok with the rumored specs, my main concern is what size battery is HTC going with? Anything less than 3000mAh would be an epic failure.

The phone would need to be a bit bigger for a larger battery. I think that battery life on my DNA is awesome. Although I do run a custom rom and kernel (latest cr-palmer kernel). I really don't think that they should use a smaller battery either, hopefully it will be more advanced.

I have a feeling (other elevate members will know what I'm talking about) HTC is considering going back to removable batteries.

I just wanted a SD. The only real world significance SGS4 has over this HTC in my hand is signal strength, battery, & SD option. My S4 isn't rooted, but signal way better

Google Play Edition thread (not here, over there)

Keep an eye out on this thread for any potential news of a Google Play Edition S5 coming out.
The only thing I don't like about the S5 is bootloader lock and lack of magnetic charging pins (since USB port is covered up).
A GPE is likely to be the only thing that gets me to spend my money.
Here's the "official" GPE watch thread:

It's unfortunate that it's only the silver for GPe. I'd much rather have the gunmetal. I guess if I do pick one up down the road I'll just get a dev edition unlocked straight from HTC. As for the Sgs5, I think the new TW is great and I don't see why you would want to get rid of it unless you just refuse to use devices that don't have vanilla Android.
