Hello everyone, I am new to android but have been modding my iPhone since the beginning. I recently purchased my first android and its the HTC One. I rooted it and installed the Orio One Rom.
I was wondering if there is a way to have a different multitask launcher instead of the one that comes with Sense 5.0. I hate the stock one and have seen a DNA that I much prefer.
Any thoughts, thanks.

So, I had my heart set on the One with Sense since it was announced and heard nothing but good reviews about it, but then the Google Edition was recently announced, it's basically a Super-Nexus. I currently have a Nexus 7 and a Droid X2 running CM10, so I'm familiar with Jellybean and like it very much!
So when I heard about the Nexus edition of the One, I was amazed. But then, I remembered since it's running stock Jellybean, it won't have the HTC only features like Zoe among others.
I'm open to the idea of changing the ROMs to get stock android if I bought the One with Sense on it...wait, is there a ROM that you can install to change to Sense 5 if I bought the Google edition!? That would be perfect if there was because I could try Sense if I wanted, but have Stock as my default and get all of Google's updates immediately!
I basically have to choose between:
HTC's Sense with all the Sense features and change the ROM to get to stock android. Slow to no OTA updates from Google.
Stock android with constant updates from Google as soon as they come out AND the stock experience. (Can still change the ROM)
I known this is a forum for the Sense HTC One, but what do you guys think? If you had this choice what would you do?
I just bought my HTC One a week ago, already having in mind that a Google Edition will be coming out, but as I don't live in the USA and given that it's going to be exclusive for the time being that wasn't such a big deal to me.
But I'm actually quite convinced that you are going to be able to switch from Sense to AOSP and vice versa, because they're the exact same hardware. Remember that tweak for the Optimus G that allowed you to basically turn it into a Nexus 4 from a software stand point? I'm sure there will be something similar to that and even if it's not supported officially, developers are going to find one way or another
I could even imagine something like an RUU to turn a regular One into a Google Edition. Well the 26th isn't that far away now, we'll see...
yes u will be able to switch roms

So there is ROM that will allow me to switch to Sense 5 if I buy a Google Edition HTC One?

There are several stock like roms with sense 5 in the android development section.
Read through and see which one suits you best.
Get the sense one. We already can change the phones identity so making it a Google edition shouldn't be any different

The HTC camera is enough of a reason for me not to care about

Just get either one, it doesn't matter much, to be honest. The Google Edition one has an unlocked bootloader and is probably S-OFF, and you can do both on the Sense edition as well. You can install any ROM you want on either one with no problems, whether sense-based or AOSP.
If u want a super nexus than this isn't the phone for you. Its not a nexus and never will be. I would go with the sense to get the great features. If you want stock it's better to get a nexus. (Just my opinion)

Hey all, first time post with a general question.
Now that the HTC One is finally being released on Verizon, will the same process of rooting and flashing stock Android be the same? I was playing with my buddy's One and I wasn't a huge fan of Sense 5 and I don't want to deal with it longer than I have to.
Thanks

I think it's too soon to tell. Will probably have to wait for the first week the phone is released for people and devs to start playing around and seeing whats up.
Hey, I just bought a HTC ONE but Im a big fan of Miui. Miui v5 was my main ROM in my previous desire S. But since I have been using HTC ONE 4.3 sense 5, Im kinda in love with some new features in it. But as I'm overwheamly fond of Miui, I also want to see its graphical beauty on my One. I'm sure there are many other users like me who want the beauty of miui as well as some functionality of new sense combined together. So here are some ideas from my mind and questions about miui ported rom to htc one:
1. There is no dedicated thread for ported miui rom in htc one. So we cannot know much about it. Well I guess it should be.
2. Is it based on sense or cm or aosp?
3. There are some videos in youtube showing HTC Sense based camera in miui in One. Some videos are also there which show the opposite (miui default camera lacking all new htc one camera features). So which is it? But in general, all of the videos are based on old miui roms.
4. I find HTC Sense camera, phone & contacts, message and new sense 5 gallery apps are pretty amazing in htc one. If camera app can be ported to miui, is there any way to port those other apps I mentioned?
5. Is there any possibiliy from Miui to bring android 4.3 or 4.4 for htc one in near future? Cause I think most of the users really want to use the updated android in their HTC ONE as stock 4.3 is already out and 4.4 is also on the way.
Thanks. I will be highly glad and helped if someone just feels kind enough to help me out with my questions.

You would be better off asking this on the MIUI forums. They are not well respected or actively developed here.
I've seen a similar questions asked but it was for porting the HTC One camera to a completely different device. I'm pretty noob to all of this so hopefully my terminology comes across clear. I have HTC One (M7) T-Mobile variant. I am unlocked, rooted and S-Off. I'm currently awaiting my SIM unlock from T-Mobile. I have installed the Google Play Edition ROM because I enjoy the simplicity and how fluid it is. However, I miss the crap out of my HTC One camera and features, especially being able to "snap" pictures from a video. The Zoe I can live without. I just prefer the stock camera. I've search specifically for "HTC One stock camera on stock kitkat (or 4.4, or google play edition) all with no luck. Maybe it doesn't exist. Doesn't hurt to ask I guess.
I'm running 2 different roms and am interested in installing HTC Sense 2 or 3 to my device. I am aware that Sense 8 or/and 9 are available to flash via TWRP/CWM ( currently have installed), but I really enjoy the older Sense versions more then the latest. That being stated, is there a way to install Sense 2 or Sense 3? I do have a HTC Boubleshot (Sense 3) and half a dozen of HTC Glaciers (Sense 2) with the Stock or stock rooted roms available. I do want the Stock HTC Sense experience and not a launcher from the play store as they are not the same by a long shot. Any information is strongly appreciated. Would like to make this my first XDA project. Thanks
I don't think it is possible. Sense 2 and sense 3 are really old and I too miss them sometimes. M7 shipped with sense 5 by default and it is lowest it can go. If there was a htc phone with similar hardware like m7 in 2011 or 2012 then we could port it to m7 but since there is no phone like that it can't be ported. When sense 6 arrived there was ported htc apps which worked on all devices and now with sense 8 and 9 there are even more htc apps which work on all devices no matter if it runs on sense, touchwiz or aosp based rom and can be installed without modifying any files. I remember back in sense 3 days there was no way to get almost any htc app to work on any non htc device without sense rom.
If you want to use sense 3 on m7 you have to use themed launchers or to buy older htc phone like sensation or desire hd.

As I stated, older devices I do have. Unfortunate, they can run on only edge even tho they are 4G devices. Isn't it only the sense framework that would be required to install and run? Let's bring up Team Venom And their Viper Roms

Sense framework is hard to port. It requires time and a lot bug fixing and resizing as sense 3 was never on full hd device. I don't think team venom will do it. They stopped development for m7 some time ago.
IIRC Sense 2/3 was for Android 2.1/2.2 and 2.3 (Eclair/Froyo and Gingerbread). Porting somethig from Lollipop to Gingerbread would be no small task....
