Database Develop

Thinking of going back to Android..

Is this the phone to get? Not a fan of samsung except for the GOOGLE phones.. I have a iPhone ATM, I am a themer, and flash roms like they are going out of style. I am a huge MIUI fan, hence the iPhone. I am starting to rebrowse XDA for info regarding rom Development, considering the phone is pretty new, its taking off well?
Any input would be appreciated.

This phone is amazing and has tons of support. It has an amazing stock HTC interface and if that's not good enough for you, they're releasing a Google Edition version of this phone which means official AOSP support. Throwing MIUI on top of that would be childs play

Google edition sounds like a plan! once the kernal drops for that phone, then the sprint variant should get it too correct? Im in if thats the case. With my Phone upgrade i can get this phone for $30, not looking to pay $500 for the Google edition.

If you want to be able to show off anything except aesthetics (stats, software gimmicks, etc.), you'll probably wanna go with the S4. The One's features generally take daily use to appreciate.

There have been reports of HTC offering the Google edition software to early supporters. That and developers will definitely be able to port stock aosp from the Google edition to our phones. The hardware is almost identical!

Why not get the dev edition of the HTC one it was cheaper than the ones on contract last time I check and it had more storage

Do you guy's really think they're gonna release a Nexus Experience HTC One for Sprint? I sure don't, since they said it was for AT&T and T-Mobile only. Plus, I also don't think they're gonna release a stock AOSP Rom for this phone either. Your best bet for AOSP on the Sprint version, is gonna be CM10.1 or Carbon.

welcome back
I've been an apple geek for 20+ years, yes they had them back then...
And have really liked almost every device they've made with the exception of the iPhone. Themed/hacked and jb still doesn't compere to a rooted Android
I hope you come back.

[Q] HTC One Google Edition vs Developer Edition

Ever since the order page came up a few days ago for the HTC One Google Edition, I've been lurking the threads, watching the videos and reading the reviews.
The general consensus I'm getting is that the Google Edition will not push out updates immediately like the Nexus devices.
Now I'm in somewhat of a dilemma because I'm not sure if I should keep my order with Google Play or to cancel and order an HTC One Developer's Edition.
The GE Edition is $640+ after taxes and free shipping on GP.
The Dev Edition is $654 after shipping, with no taxes.
As we all know the GE Edition is 32GB and the Dev Edition is 64GB.
So with all that said, is the decision as easy as saying that the Dev Edition is 14 bucks more and has twice the space? I have no issues with custom roms but honestly I value stability over anything and despite some shortcomings that some people may find in the pure stock version, I actually don't mind it. When I had my N4 I was happy with stock and using custom loaders to change the look and feel.
Now the topic of the GE version rom being available for the other phones has come up a lot in the last few days and many people are speculating that it will be very easy to do so forth.
Sorry if I'm sounding like a newb here, but is there any benefits right now to getting the GE over the DE edition? What would be the overall best choice for me as someone who doesn't mind stock android? Is there anyone out there who would choose the GE instead of the DE version and if so why?
Thanks for all the help guys!

Get a dev edition because you can run a GE Rom on it and the 64 GB storage.
BTW where did you get those prices. It should be like double that price lol.

HAHA Fixed!! Thanks for catching that! Iono why my brain was thinking 6 but typed 3.. ugh lol

I don't know how the Google edition works with the ability to flash a sense Rom but I like the option to choose personally, and I know with the dev edition you can flash stock android. If I was you I'd go with the dev edition. If you want some fancy special edition just for bragging rights, then get that but if you want functionality and the option to pick what you like get the dev.

I too have considered this upgrade from my Nexus 4. But if I remember correctly the IR port does not work in the Google Play version, and is working fine in the dev version.

where is the dev version available?

People. The hardware on the Dev and GPe phones are the exact same. Just the ROM, bootloader and recoveries are different. We already have the GPe bootloader and recovery, and I think we even have GPe based ROMs. Eventually, you will be able to fully convert the DEV, INTL, ATT and TMO Ones to GPe and vice versa. Get the Dev edition.

jst a question

is there a way to flash the developer edition software onto the tmobile htc one? and it just update through htc? jst curious i tried to stay from rooting but i seriously doubt tmobile is going to update my phone in a timely manner so i gave up .

I actually just did this today but I converted my AT&T instead of a t mobile to the dev edition

everything works? lte ? hspa+? i just want stock in not really in to customization until the phone gets boring you know? and if so where can i find the rom you used? in the forum i dont see stock stuff like when i had my gnex and nex4 ..everything seems modified in some way and i just want stock maybe with root preinstalled which is why i was looking at the 4.3 dev edition because i saw people talking about htc posted the entire thing up for grabs ..i just dont want to lose functionality i want it to be the same phone just software has been updated with all of htc's improvements you know?

[Q] How good is the Google Play software on the M7?

Hi guys,
I'm thinking about picking up an original HTC One (M7). I'm not too interested in Sense, so I'm wondering how good/buggy/reliable the Google Play Edition (GPE) software is. Would it compare to a Nexus 5? Is the Sense software actually better?
Thanks!

You'll probably not have much comparison between the HTC One GPE and the Nexus 5 here because comparison thread are not allowed. Personally, I prefer Sense over GPE. Maybe you could go in store and try both to get an idea? And there always the possibility to convert your phone to GPE if you don't like sense (require to S-OFF 1st). The only thing I can say is we see many people here converting their phone to GPE and then they want to switch back to Sense again....

[Q] Verizon Nexus 6

This may be a dumb question and i feel like a complete noob asking it but........... .....
I bought a Nexus 6 from Moto and had it activated on VZW before VZW
had it as a phone (which may not matter).
I want to ROM my phone, and i am use to seeing a separate thread
for each Networks' phone (att, vzw, tmo ...etc)
So essentially what do i need to know about ROMing
the nexus 6 activated on VZW?
(Also i know I'm late to the ROMing game on this phone
but i guess its better late than never)
Thanks!

All nexus 6s are the same. You can flash any rom your heart desires

I do believe that some carriers have made specific ROMs for the N6 because of small tailor made features, T-Mobile for example baked on so that nexus 6 phones on their network could turn on Wi-Fi Calling

Yes any of them. Chroma will work, and if you wanna use blisspop that will work too.

Do you recommend any as far as customization?

That's up to what you want in a rom. Look at the features of each one and decide for yourself on what looks like you would want.
