When will this be available, is it after the next upgraded rom from Sony? As I'm not sure how it works with android. Is it per android version or is it device specific?
Also will it not work based on rooting or will it work with the new locked bootloader exploit, as with that you get to keep your drm keys?
Apologies for probably stupid questions, just coming back from a 3 year break from the the dark side.... iPhone 4 & 4S
It will be when Sky Make it work, if the past is anything to go by when Sony Update to 4.2 it will stop working again!

the JB 4.2 for sony gonna come in late march. maybe 10 days later
it will change kernel and OS so firmware. it will be major update
Last time Sky added a bunch of Devices together when they updated the App so it might be they wait and Add the HTC One and the Galaxy S4. As long as we are 4.2 by then there will be no interruptions.

And will rooting the phone stop sky go working, if I use the locked boot loader method? Or could I just use custom toms with it?
Just skygo didn't work on jail broken devices, was a right pain to get it working in the end! As apple insisted on preventative measures against jail token phones Are sky just as bad on a android?
Yes... Worse the detect rooted unlocked devices in several ways... There was no way to get it working on my note 2 without having stock firmware and kernal
As we do on the z we my be able to use one of the temporary unroot methods
But won't know until sky works in the first place

Well if it wasn't for you posting it here I would have never known it had been released!
It's working for me (non rooted) although I have to adjust the brightness each time I go into a program that is showing as it's very dark to start with...

Im glad ive been of some use once
Aslong as it works, i guess the brightness is a pain but atleast its working.
Now the most important question of all.... does it work on a rooted device
Nope- cant get it to work with my rooted z
Was waiting patiently for it to be upgraded to work, finally gave up and decided to root and Sky released the update the next day!!!

Thank you for this. Your tutorials are always the easiest to follow. I'm glad you're a fellow HTC One user.
Thanks qbking, your vids are always great and very clear. They helped me set up adb and the SDK a while back. :thumbup:

Thanks for this. Was hoping for a non-root tethering option that actually worked. I've rooted my past 3 phones, but trying to live without it... as long as I can handle it
Actually, I don't see any need to root and rom with Sense 5, I personally like it and it's stable for me. I'm only missing some seldomly used root apps. Tethering is the only reason I have right now to actually break and root. Just trying to not do that this time around.

Great instructions, easy to follow... now rooted!
Good to see you here QBKing77
Much appreciated! I was able to root and install recovery with these instructions. Have you any more tips or videos on the horizon for us new One owners?
I like how the One beat the S4 on the fresh unboxing benchmark test you conducted on the S4 video.

Yep there will be more soon!
have you played around with any of the kernels or roms? im getting my sprint one this week and i was just wondering if there were any you recommend. as far as roms go ive been looking at viperRom or Tranquility. i figured i should start with sense-based and see how like it. for kernels im thinking of going with wolfpack. elementalx looks good but it says its not compatible with the sprint version. any thoughts?

Hi guys,
I have a sprint HTC one running: HTC Sense 5, Andriod 4.4.2, Software Ver. 4.06.651.9
I was wondering, does the original post still work on getting free hotspot ?
Thanks
Apparently a play edition of the S5 is coming pretty soon since google started changing it's images on the listing for the S4 to images from the S5
I'm switching to their rom the day it gets ripped and posted for us to download
who else?
I was just about to post this. Yes it looks like it is imminent.

Yeah, and the rom from that phone should be an awesome one, all the features, none of the bloatware ^_^
Crap. I was hoping for this yesterday. I made a huge mistake on accepting some update that hit the phone today. It's about 42MB but nothing huge changed it appears. Looks like it was just for the screen casting dongle.

while there are bug fixes, i highly doubt they'll patch the particular exploit that allows us to root, and if they do, Chainfire will find another exploit in a matter of days, specially since the kernel source is available, so you'll always be able to root, don't worry about that.
I took a plunge and I managed to root the device with ChainFire. Now to wait for the GS5 Playstore edition
I wonder if all of those S5 models will make the porting of the playstore version harder?
Also, what's up with all those versions? Are they baseband-related only (aside from the ones with different processors)?

What are you trying to use it through? I have tried the option under settings>display but I guess this option is only for DLNA devices. I saw there was a mirroring app but since I have verizon I do not currently have root with this device.
Please let me know if you get it to screen cast because I've also been searching around for a bit.

I can obviously do it with things like Netflix and Hulu.
What I want it for is Amazon instant video. As it doesn't support Chromecast.
I guess the Nexus 4 and some other devices can mirror their screen with A Chromecast. But I guess not the X.
I'm on Verizon as well.
Google hasnt enabled this option for the Moto X yet. The only devices with this working right now are Galaxy Flagship phones, Nexus lineup and HTC One M8. I dont know why they didnt enable it for us. We will have to wait for Lollipop (which comes with this enabled by default). It is a server side thing, so there is nothing you can do right now
If you have root, you can try this:

Yea, I have friends that are bragging that it works on their Note 3 and Nexus4.
Guess there's nothing to do but wait.
Galaxy devices are supported? Would my old S4 be able to screen mirror to the chromecast then? I haven't noticed anything -> but maybe I just need to pop on a new ROM for the feature.

it was workin when i first updated to lollipop but when i did a factory reset its not workin anymore..... so i think when u use the rooting method to enable chromecast before updating to lollipo it still works after the update

Upgraded to lollipop on my VZW X and cast to screen doesn't work even though it's showing in quick settings. Netflix, Google play movies etc. work but not cast to screen.
It works perfectly on my N7. Did VZW cripple it or is it just a matter of an app update?
Updated the Tmobile 5.0 today, deffeantly tell of the changes. My first problem though was the app updates. They would not up date while the new Google Play Services was updated. I Restarted my phone then unistalled the Google Play Services update to finally get rid of the clash. Just an FYI for yall out there
AUTOROOT
I just rooted my N4 just fine using auto root, also have no problems so far with Philz recovery. Dont know if yall already knew these would be smooth transitions but I didnt lol. Well just some fyis. Have fun with yalls goodnes

Use Samsung Kies
good question on the counter, I have restarted my phone and have not seen it, Buuut I did freeze knox though. As far as updating Use Kies took about 10 mins
USB audio?
I got the Lollipop update this morning through T-mobile. It was smooth to update, and I haven't noticed battery issues or anything others had reporter.
However, I was super-excited for Lollipop, because it allows for USB microphones. And I've tried all 5 of the ones I own without success. I tried Samsung support, which was useless. They weren't even aware of the feature.
Do you think it's possible that Samsung or T-mobile bypassed this native feature to Lollipop? I was connecting via OTG cable. I haven't tried mic to powered hub to OTG yet, because I've seen Nexus owners on Lollypop just connect USB microphones via OTG.
I'd be grateful for any advice any of you gurus have out there. I am not rooted or running anything custom. I've been fairly happy with stock. But, like I started with, I was all the while looking forward to this Lollypop update for portable recording via USB. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.
Downloading as I type...I'm sure I am wasting my time since I been rocking BeanStalk 5.0.2, but my curiosity is making me just give it a look and see how it works. It'll be nice to use the S-Pen features again, but Lollipop without all the bs that samsung and tmo put on there has been nothing short of amazing.
Why have the note 4 when you can have PURE android just like you want with the new 6 inch moto. But whatever guess I will never understand why people will buy a car. Strip it off its goods (rims/system/under the hood upgrades) just to have a classic stripped stock vehicle? I mean already having the features why give then away? I will never understand

Assuming that you're talking about the Nexus 6/Moto X Pro, there's no need to debate/discuss why I would want TouchWiz on ANY level, which is why I was close to buying a Nexus 6. Honestly though, for me, while the Nexus 6/Moto X Pro isn't a bad phone(they're both really great phones), they lost me with no way to add extra storage or remove your battery if needed. In addition, while I have been running Beanstalk for the last few weeks, I still think the S-Pen is a really great feature to have on the Note 4. There's really no need to go into details about which phone is better, because it will always come down to preference, but in regards to your comment, it's not as stripped down as you present it to be.

Can I ask how you did that? I upgraded from BeanStalk to stock Lollipop via Kies, but I'm getting force closes on gapps services. Can barely use the phone they are coming in so frequently. What did you do to uninstall gapps and how did you get the correct version installed?

No attitude here, everyone is entitled to their opinions. I am certainly not hating on you for what you're saying and personally, in many(maybe most) aspects, those are flat out better phones than the Note 4. I just installed this bs lollipop so now as I type, I am flashing back to BeanStalk. The lack of a removable battery i could live with, but the expandable storage is a necessity for me, the only reason I am staying with the Note 4 since most phones that are coming out are converting to that style.

You do not need to install gapps on stock ROMs. They are included. Installing them as a zip will break them. So, factory reset (or fresh install), and don't flash gapps.

Hey. Thanks for the reply. I actually didn't install gapps over the stock ROM. Not sure what it didn't like installing over Beanstalk. I did a wipe before I installed via kies. Anyway, I resolved by doing a factory reset, like you said. Did two actually. All is well now, thanks.
