if you want different roms theres always miui or de-sensed just google them cant post links here
The other reason is because a lot of the devs who worked on this phone have move on to the HTC One or SGIII. This phone is over a year old, which is a lifetime in phoneyears, unfortunately.
this badass named mg2195 is deving a cm10 rom ^-^
Load of crap

Woahhh there don't get angry xD It's due to the age (most dev's want the newest and best phone) and also due to the fact that this phone just wasnt that popular...
If its not popular why is the HTC hd2 still getting development and that was launched waaaaay back. And how is this phone hard to dev for???

The phone is just full of shotty hacked up htc code. They just threw together a bit of everything to make it work, which kinda ruined it for everyone wanting to create custom non-sense based roms
Instead of posting multiple threads in here about why there aren't more ROMs, why not go talk to the makers of ROMs such as JellyBro and JellyBam to see if they will support our device, now that we're cm10 official. Or go create your own.

I was waiting on the sgs4, but after the cringe worthy unveiling last night…Im not 100% sold on it. Even with a nice vanilla rom, the hardware looks a bit boring (yeah, the screen does look nice…plus I bet the cpu+gpu will be awesome)…so my next choice is the HTC One. However, I don’t see any posts talking about Roms (other than stock/sense roms)…is this because its new…or is there an issue and custom vanilla android roms might not come out straight away?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure I know whats what before jumping in (I know for example, the sgs2 couldn’t get JB roms working 100% because it was missing the Sammy HW compressor at one point)
Cheers guys

It's just a matter of time till the No-Sense script (I believe that's what it was called for most htc phones) is adapted for the One.
However, out of the box you should be able to use something like Nova launcher to give you as much vanilla as you can get without rooting.
Hope it helped

You have to wait for someone to develope AOSP for this device. Typically, you have some one try to get CM going, then you'll get aokp and so on if this device is popular enough.

Would be Sony Ericsson, but the Xperia X1 was build by HTC just Software was SE.
it will need some time until someone figures out how everthing works with snapdragon cpu and until htc delivers some kernel sources... hopefully they will update to 4.2.2 anytime soon with kernel sources to get stable cm10.1
Firstly, please don't get me wrong here. Im not trolling in the slightest and I really appreciate all the work the devs do here.
With the HTC One having such high specs is there really any need to flash custom Roms? In my opinion all of them seem the same and don't look or feel any different to the stock rom on the One. The only benefit I can see is for Root access.
Im sure there is a lot of "under the hood" tweaks that are done but are these really noticeable or beneficial to the end user? Other peoples thoughts would be interesting.

Actually yes, I wish to get CM working fully on HTC One.
It gives us an alternate experience than what HTC wanted us to.
Best of all, you don't have to wait so long for HTC to update their phones.
Especially when they abandon the One, we rely on CM.
But I'm really hoping for the success of the One, nobody could resist the look and feel of the One.

I totally agree the updates and the benefit of getting rid on Sense if you dont like it is a real benefit. But is there a need for multiple Sense custom roms?

That's subjective I guess. But for something like example HTC DROID DNA or Butterfly, Sense 5 gets ported before HTC did. So I guess it's also a huge benefit.
Earlier updates is the main reason why I will be rooting, these phone networks take ages to update it's unavailable!!
Also there are some very nice skinned roms out there
I won't be unlocking my bootloader for a while. Not until I am at least sure that my device is working 100% and that will take a couple of weeks. I was eager to root it etc but I was reading about HTC's warranty and it seems as though it is a very long winded process. Maybe you wish to do the same?

yep ill be in no hurry either.
when i finally get a device im happy with yea i will root and flash custom rom, but not CM - Sense 5 is great and IMO is much better than stock JB - there are a few minor things I would like added, but I have no doubt they will be added to custom sense 5 roms in due course.
to me, there is no point in being a flashaholic. flash the latest stable base, and then keep up with custom kernels for battery.
thats me, idk bout u guys
Personally something that will push me over the unlock bootloader line is when either when A) IF the HTC logo can become mapped as a button, or B) A full relock becomes available lol
For me, absolutely. I consider some features (such as long press vol key to skip tracks) essential. There are also always some visual things I like to change no matter how well it is made
I just need root to enable volume key wake, and ill want to remap the keys. Everything else looks flawless

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
While there's obviously no NEED, a lot of people will prefer to flash ROMs for a variety of different reasons.
I'd say the main reasons are;
*The ability to have a pure AOSP look which is preferred by a lot of people (especially those who come from a Nexus device). Also, a lot of people don't like the look/feel of Sense and will therefore want to change the UI to something which is more preferable to them.
I, for example, have never tried Sense before and could quite possibly hate it once I finally test it. On the flip side of that, I may love it but at least custom ROMs will give me the ability to completely change the UI whilst giving me a ton more customizations and optimizations than a custom launcher would do.
*As mentioned at the end of the first reason, customization is a huge part of what a lot of people do with their devices. For example, when I had my SGS2 I used to love the ability to flash a simple ROM and have a ton of customization at my fingertips, so I could edit the look of my phone to my hearts content.
*Some people are simply flashaholics and have ORD (Obsessive ROM-flashing/updating Disorder). I'll normally flash every ROM in sight if the device is new and there aren't many ROMs available yet. This way it gives me a good early decision as to what type of ROM I'd prefer on said device. However, once the device starts getting more development and more ROMs start appearing in quick succession, I'll then make my mind up about which ROM to choose and generally won't change ROM for the vast majority of the devices lifetime.
Got a HTC? Join the HTC Hangout Thread
I unlocked, rooted and flashed now because in a few months time the phone will be setup perfectly; all the right apps, all the right data, all in the right place (and HTC might of discovered a way to do a Sensation on us (S-Off))
With the phone rooted I can be relatively confident of getting it back to my currently backed up state after any major updates (and, when I finally install some games, get their progress restored as well)

Sense means HTC. I don't see any reason to buy HTC if I'm not gonna use sense.
Because HTC makes great hardware. I buy HTC exclusively, but I rip sense off it ASAP and put AOKP or CM or something without sense. Nexus devices are generally not top of the line hardware, they're supposed to be a benchmark for development (i.e. midrange). That said, N4 has more impressive specs than usual, but I can't imagine buying an LG phone. I have never realized LG even made smartphones, only flip phones until the N4 was released.
Still, HTC makes best hardware, I just generally don't like sense. That said, sense 5 does look interesting.

To a certain extent, yes, I agree with you on that statement. However, sometimes you just need a change and it is nice to have the option of running AOSP roms as well. I would much rather go back and forth between Sense/AOSP than TouchWiz/AOSP after having my GS3.
No. Roms are for old devices. Lol

Hi all,
Is there a stock android ROM 4.2.2 similar to the Nexus 4 available to the HTC One. Had a little look in the Development section couldn't find one.
With the announcement of the HTC One Nexus Experience it has perked my interest however there's a possibility it won't come to the UK, therefore looking at getting a One and putting a stock ROM on it.
I am aware of Cyanogen Mod however I'm not a fan of it.

If you look in the right section you'll find some...

Talk about disrespectful....CyanogenMod is the closest you're going to get to bone-stock Android for a long time. The NE was only announced today. It doesn't even start shipping for another month.

I get that this seems to be a popular assumption, but that's not as much of a given thing as many of you would like to hope. HTC isn't obligated to release the source code for the NE One (only the kernel). If they bake Beats/Camera stuff into that ROM, there's no guarantee that our CM10.1 build will get it.
I have no doubt someone will turn the NE's ROM into a rooted stock ROM for you to flash, but I really wouldn't expect it to help CM10.1 all that much.
Once the release the HTC One with stock rom, will it be easier to port it?
Will we be able to get a fully functional working rom?
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Of course it will be easy to port it. Porting aosp roms to the LG Optimus G is dead simple because internally it is identical to the Nexus 4. Same logic applies here

you must have had your eyes closed
Jheez, don't think I'll ever bother asking a question again no need for the rudeness!
And for the individual who took offence to me to not liking CM its personal preference I've never liked CM same way I've never like the AOKP either. It sure is a widespread popular ROM and I'm not insulting the developers in fact I respect anyone who can come up with a good stable ROM for android phones.
Is it just me, or does the Sprint HTC One seem to be completely overlooked by ROM developers? TWRP for Sprint HTC One is still only 2.6.3.0 despite 2.6.3.3 and 2.6.3.4 being out for other phones for months. Nearly every ROM I have looked at seems to support every HTC One variant except for Sprint. If you want Sprint support, you have to use an older version. The latest CWM for m7spr does support KitKat, and I have been able to install CM11 nightly, but this is extremely buggy, and every nightly build seems to introduce as many new problems as it solves. Is there any stable KitKat ROM that doesn't suck and supports Sprint? Is there a reason developers hate Sprint users? Please someone tell me the answer to this.
Well I'm on the official cm11 from 1/3 and its running perfectly now for me except the browser once l toggled the data to CDMA/lte but that's it. Ecliptic seems to run as good as any other 5.5 on 4.4 Sense in my experience with it. I only use Sense a little because since the 4.3 ota the WiFi doesn't upload data at all and I use that way too much to tolerate that absence but the devs overlook it. Oh well cm it is until its fixed by Sprint.

No offense but if you bothered to do a simple Google search, you'd find that an official 4.4 OTA for sprint is not yet released which is why there is a lack of stable 4.4 roms...

Agree with the need to do a search before complaining about the devs sucking around here (which is effectively what was said, imho).
I have to dissent from the 'no stable kitkit' ROMs, though. For instance, EclipicONE [4.4] is quite stable -- it is, after all, based on InsertCoin and I can't imagine anyone suggesting @baadnewz creates anything other than extremely stable ROMs when he says they're good to go, and @hawknest is clearly no slouch either. I've used EclipticONE since the final test versions for my day to day -- no problems at all and fact it's outperforming my 4.3 ROMs (generally use ViperONE or InsertCoin) handily in battery, speed (I clocked it up to the 1.7 our processor is supposed to be, but even the default 1.1GHz top end runs totally smoothly) and general operations.
Not on a high horse here -- just saying ... I find we do in fact have stable kitkat based roms.
Eliptic is super stable. It can't get better than this. Plus it has s2w and s2s

Without tooting my own horn(cuz it ain't me who designs this ROM, I just build it), BS 4.4.205 is one of the best KK custom ROMs around, and I check. It does not have a completely bug-free experience, but for the scale of what is offered in options versus what doesn't work properly, you can't do much better anywhere. Most of the other custom ROMs are still implementing KK. As far as stock or stock-based, the earlier comments are all true. I do feel as though development here has stalled, and in general, Sprint is the ugly stepchild of the carrier system, based on how the phone is designed to run(totally different than any other carrier). Most of the truly gifted and knowledgeable devs have already moved on to the next big thing, which unfortunately, is the name of the game around here. But, I love my m7spr, and although I am not a coding guru, I plan to stick around for a while and try to get more cool ROM choices out there.

I'm getting really annoyed with these 'did you search first, stupid?' posts. Get off yourself. Yeah, there's a lot of information out there, but most of it's junk/spam, obsolete or completely irrelevant. There's so much crap info out there. If someone is unsure enough about something to get to the point of asking a question to get an answer, and you know the answer, just answer it.
Google 'sprint kit kat htc one'. Kind of interesting sure, but absolutely none of that is useful information esp in helping TV4FUN get an answer. Blogspot opinions, link farms copying things over and over, unrelated sprint and Moto(?!) info and random HTC ad crap, etc.
Similar experience to TV4FUN.. IMO there are no daily drivers for KK yet, probably not until Sprint KK and source is released. Much thanks to the devs who are working hard to get there though.

I'm confused about this because little by little we are getting more and more roms for this phone more than when I first got here. A lot of the aosp issue we have the other variants of the m7 have as well and a lot are Google based issues, one reason the devs are having issues is that kit kat has changed a lot even cyanogen him self has said so.
Be patient and remember no one here gets paid for this, they do it out of love for Android and a little respect I believe is deserved.

Ecliptic is good enough for a daily driver. In my opinion so are the nocturnal roms. I have never tried beanstalk so I cannot speak to that. But I think there are plenty of options out there. I guess it just boils down to how picky you are.
I would like to know what about ecliptic kk is not stable? just my 2 cents but most these issues people complain about are self induced due to lack of research or just nit picky! Come to think of it there isn't a single sense rom atleast that I have tried that isn't damn near perfect. I for one am feel very fortunate to be a part of the sprint m7 community
