Make sure to use the kexec version. It is my understanding that you won't be able to use any ROM based on the ICS kernel once you upgrade to JB.

I have HTC Sense on my DNA and whenever I use the Droid4 it looks pretty close to non-themed AOSP & CM.

IMO sense looks better but hogs to many resources... maybe I am just a vanilla type guy! Lol

I can understand the hate for Blur on Froyo, as it was an ugly, bloated, nonfunctional mess. Gingerbread Blur was still heavily skinned, but was significantly less bloated than Froyo.
With ICS and JB, it is the closest thing to stock Android from any of the major manufacturers, outside of Nexus devices. Moto has even moved away from a lot of custom apps. Though, I suppose this makes sense, due to being owned by Google, they may be trying to closer approach their parent company's ideals.

★ [ROM][M7] CyanogenMod 10.1 DISCUSSION, Q&A THREAD ★

there are a lot off topic conversations going on the official Cyanogenmod ROM thread that have nothing to do with CM development and it'd be better for the community if we keep all those conversations..questions about CM in this thread..​

Nice. Can't believe no one thought of this earlier.

Maybe a stupid question but I can't find it online.
What's the difference between Expirimental, nightlies, etc?
And what's the order of al these?

I mentioned it days ago in the Development thread.
I didn't start one because I can't keep the Original post updated.
Glad someone else who can started a thread.

Experimental is usually a build started by a dev to test changes made
Nightlies are builds scheduled every night regardless if changes have been made
Milestones have all the big bugs ironed out and signify overcoming big developmental hurdles
RC (release candidate) is what it sounds like. It's a build that has the potential to be stable if no further bugs appear
Stable has all the bugs worked out.

Do we still have the Black screen during calls? I swore it worked this morning then all my calls went black. Didn't realize how important buttons were on calls to me until it happened. I'm on the latest nightly

Stock is better as it relies on sense framework for image processing. So, optimised for the one hw

No idea. I'd say no since someone would have to reverse engineer the HTC software. I don't see that happening, but it's just a guess.

Too bad... Hopefully someone will create some kind of AOSP-Stock-Hybrid-ROM.
I will ask in Q&A if somebody is already at it, if not i will see if i can spare some time to get involved into Android developing and try to create one...

Issues
Apologies if I have missed anything where this has been covered before. I have read pretty much every page of the dev thread. I have been an xda user for years but only just opened an account to ask a couple of questions.
I can report the proximity/ blank screen during calls still exists with 18052013 nightly. Not that I saw anything about this in the change log.
Can I ask if this is any issue for everybody with the HTC One or just some? (I have the international version)
Is there a fix in the works for this?
It looks like the notification LED colour cannot be changed right now. I have tried a couple of colours but green is the only one that works.
I noticed something else small. The facebook app from the Sense 5.0 original ROM had the option to "sync only existing contacts" but with this ROM we have only "sync" which syncs all contacts. Not sure if this is an easy fix but it would be nice to have back. I do understand none of the "sense" apps or tools are available in AOSP.
Thanks for the hard work and helps everybody

Probably kind of random, but anyone have any luck with the One/CM 10.1 syncing with a Jawbone Up (a fitness monitor bracelet)? It worked fine on stock, but refuses to sync since moving to CM. I'm on the latest nightly. Any info appreciated!

hmm
even i find it so weird n awkward to see these HTCUSA people with minial improvements asking us to let them know our favourite additions in sense kitkat 4.4

Keep in mind many people didn't ever get 4.3 w/Sense 5.5. So from Sense 5 it is a great improvement. Reorder the quick toggles, new gallery, new Camera improvements, new TV App.....
But for us who had 4.3 w/5.5 we feel a little let down lol

Poor battery life on 4.4

After installing SinLessROM v5.1.1 I've noticed Android System is gobbling up my battery and I have no idea why. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Seems to be related to the GPE roms. 4.3 had a similar issue. Perhaps HTC frameworks or some kind of bloatware garbage ?
I did some testing with CM 11 over the weekend and battery life was amazing compared to GPE. Android system barely used any battery.
Unfortunately both 4.4 GPE and CM 11 have the exchange email bug so I'm back to 4.3 GPE for now.

No ideas, but I would like to know more about this too. Seeing the same things on the same rom, your screenshot could have been made on my phone

Yeah, I had CM11 on before this and battery was pretty good, but that rom wasn't playing nice with the 4.4 camera and ART so thought I'd try this one out. Back to a CM based one it is then...
Any recommendations?
Thanks.

Make sure there aren't any wake locks or unnecessary syncing. Give 4.4 several charge cycles to to get the battery adjusted to the new firmware.

Android 4.4.2 aka KitKat Update - Discussion Thread

Noticed that the device is kinda smoother
Wonder what you guys have to say about the new version of our favorite mobile OS

Does seem smoother.
Don't like the battery icon has gone back to plan white.
Also what is the new (N) type symbol next to the bluetooth icon?

OTA update successful on hongkong butterfly S

Finally! This is great news!
I never wanted to flash any custom ROMS because I didn't want to lose the magical battery life of this phone.
However I had always noticed the butterfly s was slower in places than a snapdrag 600 should be.
I received the OTA on my Butterfly S shipped from HongKong no problem so I hope this remedies some of the stuttering in the OS.

Wow you have stuttering on your Butterfly S, I have never noticed on mine.
The only thing I will say is, after 4.4.2 battery seems to die a little faster then before. I know you didn't want to here that.
Can anyone else confirm there battery life after OTA?

Did 901e got the update
Sent from my HTC Butterfly s using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Got the update. So far, disliking it a lot.
Apps can not write to external sd anymore. The stupid modification Google has done to kitkat is taking place, as covered by android police here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...at-and-even-samsung-may-be-implementing-them/
If I can´t get if fixed, my 64gb SD will become useless and the internal 16gb of the phone is just not enough for my use.
I could not achieve root acess again yet.
Camera seens to be a little less purple in low light conditions, but the pictures are being very washed away in terms of color fidelity, like if the contrast is too low.
The chinese apps can be removed now, but I´m afraid of removing them and not being able to update the firmware in the future as it already happened once.
The News and Weather widget (Google geniewidget.apk) just disapeared and I cant use it anymore. Tried to install the apk and it failed to install.

Ok, I have root again, edited the file, but every time I reboot the phone, the file get restored to original, without privileges to write to external storage.
Maybe there is a backup somewhere and the system is replacing the modified file at boot?
