I saw this news earlier. I'm glad they decided to do it. That's how it should have been in the first place.

Ever since I bought Nova I don't care for the sense launcher, still, pretty good news overall.

Exciting. Nice touch HTC. Finally customizable EQS & dual camera.
Can i has multi-windows too?

Thought this was for international One only. Hopefully we get it.

I am sure at least a few of these could be 'ported' over to us once 5.5 is released for the International. The awesome devs here have been able to implement newer Sense keyboards and camera features in the past, so I'm sure it's still very possible now. Plus, they've already found ways to disable blinkfeed. I'm sure we will end up getting Sense 5.5 anyway, unless HTC decides to skip it and go straight to Sense 6 for the US variants. LOL.

Yea either way since its staying at 4.3 unless unluckily its 4.3.1 we will be able to port over just as easily by just adding our firmware and what not i would think.

After 4.3 update, my "others" is 6.84gb, on this screen shots, the "others" is 16GB, and only 13GB space left. What's others? how can we reduce that? and if the others is 16GB, I don't want it.

would this require an "OTA" that would have to go through the carriers like android versions do? or could HTC just send us the update directly?

I heard they were doing to 4.3 update in two parts, one is update us to 4.3 and then send a second update to update us to sense 5.5 probably around the debut of the HTC one max.

Assuming you're rooted, grab a root explorer/browser and check out data/media. That's your old "sdcard" stuff. Now, it goes to the /data/media/0 folder. Copy and move it over to the new location. You can also do this in Aroma File Manager through TWRP or CWM.

Why is ROM development so slow for HTC phones?

I'm trying to decide between the sprint galaxy s 4, and the HTC one. My concern with the HTC is ROM development, my original galaxy s gets fully working cyanogenmod before a useful rom is made for my evo 3D. This seems to be the case with most all of their devices.
Why is it this way? Will the HTC one be this way as well? I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this. Thanks.

lol! Cyanogenmod ROM comes first before stock ROM? Ain't believing it buddy
useful ROM = Stock ROM
Nono, the evo 3d has unofficial cyanogenmod at least 3 months after the epic 4g receives official. Two, unofficial AOSP roms seem to be more stable (and released earlier) on galaxy s devices than htc devices why is that? Both being flagships, what leaves htc behind in custom AOSP roms?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
My galaxy s would be on. 2.3, it is now on 4.2. The evo would be on 4.0 with outdated sense, it is now on 4.1. Nexus 7, stock 4.2. I use stock until the phone ages, and stock isn't good enough. I plan to have my next phone for 2 years, I might as well choose a phone that will stay current throughout those two years.

HTC supports the flagship in every way possible, look at the One X. Even the newly released One is getting OTA at a crazy rate. And for custom rom developers, my Desire HD has fully stable 4.2.2 CM, AOKP and even paranoid. I hope this was helpful

I'm glad they support, but they only go so far. Samsung goes further. in the end if I want to run custom roms, will it flop like my evos?

I really think that the One is getting a huge developer community. Look at the android development thread. 4 ROMs already released (with tweaks) while only a few have got the device till now
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
I'm beginning to think that the evo 3d was just a horrible buy. I hope that the fact they're releasing the exact same device across all networks helps development. Still can't decide between the S4 and this. Both very good phones.

I've never owned a Samsung, but I've owned 2 HTCs, and my device is great in durability. I have this phone for about 2.5 years and I drop it around once every 3 days (obviously not intentionally) and it still runs good, no issues. For Samsung, you should read Samsung forums.

Ohh ok I got it now. Unfortunately there's won't be any CM or AOSP ROMs until kernel source code is out. Thing is Stock kernel is not compatible with AOSP/CM ROMs and the other way around since both custom and stock has some functions added to the kernel for it to work.
And the thing here is samsung releases kernel source code earlier than HTC. So it really depends on the situation. And by the way samsung is not releasing opening up it's exynos to developers. And now that samsung implemented octa core & big little architecture on their new processors. I doubt they would be able to make a CM/AOSP ROM anytime soon on S4.
I know cm10.1 runs slow as heck on my wife's one x as a custom sense rom works smooth as butter. On my note 2 cm10.1 actually runs better than any touchwiz rom. My advice is to wait until there both out and go see them in person. Both phones will get a good bit of development.
Thank you so much. That's exactly what I was looking for. Do you think the unlocking/s off process going to be simple to get it to run AOSP? I had to do the horrifying "wire trick" to get AOSP on the evo 3d.

You don't need s-off to run aosp. You just need to unlock on htc dev or buy the dev edition one that htc will offer. But yes I'm sure in time we will get s-off for everyone. Lol.. I remember the wire trick, I used to own a rezound, horrid phone. No I just did s-off on my wife's new one x and its just a command line hack and software.

I dunno as I've run aosp on a few htc's I've had and it ran fine.
Does anyone know why the One runs 4.1 instead of 4.2? I hope they don't keep us outdated like they did with all the phones stuck on 4.0 forever.

Good question and I have no answer. My hopes is it will get a 4.2.2 update soon after launch.
I was thinking maybe because I don't see most of the key features from 4.2 fitting in with sense.

Doubt that, it's not unusual for phones to ship a version behind. But with the s4 shipping with the latest I'd hope htc will push an update ASAP.

[Q] how deeply integrated is the camera software?

I haven't been able to play around with the dumps and international ROMs floating around yet. To those who have already played around with development: how difficult will it be to port the camera software to other devices? I'm getting the HTC One next week but my wife is really interested in the camera features.

I think this depends on the device you're porting to. For example, I currently have the HTC EVO 4G LTE and I'm running a Sense 5 ROM and the camera is the same camera. I think so long as you have a phone that can run Sense 5.0 you should be fine
So its more baked to sense as opposed to being built around hardware, I'm assuming?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Both. It won't be the same experience as using the One but it will do a good job at mimicking it, depending on your phone.

It doesn't really make financial sense to have the early adopters be able to get a plain Android experience. I mean we already gave HTC our money why would they provide a "software switch" and risk having brick several devices. And I'm sure the carriers won't allowed either.

If it was released by HTC it wouldn't brick our phones.... Also why wouldn't the carrier allow it? They have nothing to lose from it. And lastly, the stock android One is the same price as the one you would buy from sprint or att off contract.

I've always remembered basic updates Froyo to Gingerbread bricking phones and having carriers pull it afterwards. Even recently T Mobile had to pull the LG L9 update to jelly bean.
And I'm sure the carriers wouldn't like their bloatware being removed.

The IR blaster is still going to be on the phone so you can just use a 3rd party app for it. Or maybe Google will add that feature in 4.3?

The IR blaster would work actually, it just wouldn't come with a dedicated app for it.
Three of those items, camera/video mix/Zoe are the same thing considering all of that is in the camera coding.
So your list boils down to two things. No flip board and waiting for HTC to modify their camera software.

Technically my list boils down to one thing. My experiance using the phone is alot better with Sense 5 than without it. All the things that I love about the phone that is brought by sense 5 is not worth me losing.

4.3 leaked/in testing Galaxy S4

Seems as Nexus owners we're not the first to get the update this time. It could turn out to be an elaborate fake but probably genuine as Google are an experimenting company and have released two flagship devices with a vanilla Android option (although they're not "nexus"). From what I've read there doesn't appear to be any big changes (if any actually visible) and more fixes/optimisations.

Flashed it on my GS4 and working like a charm (and it's the international version of course). No root yet, so i'll switch back to 4.2.2 to get my apps lol (can't restore through TB Pro duh).
It's just a leak so don't worry about it. The Nexus devices will definitely get the 4.3 first.

Cool, I'm another few months away from a handset upgrade and so it definitely makes these phones an even better proposition, having access to stock android goodness. Was impressed seeing how quickly someone had put a vanilla 4.2.2 ROM together for the HTC One, then seen this and was very surprised.
Its good to see really as it shows that Google and the handset makers are finally getting why people like android so much and that is the option of choice and customisation. It may not be the exact reason for doing so but they must be conscious of it. As the last I/O conference showed, it was very developer orientated

This is a guide that got me to root and S-OFF.
Most of the roms in development are sense 5.5 now while there are few who stayed on sense 5. You can just flash whichever one you would like too. DO NOT flash any of the international roms unless they specifically say "Sprint Support" you cant imagine how many times people do this.
Here is a thread that has them listed for your convenience http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469782
As for the wifi tether mod, most of the roms already have it included I believe
