HTC One - Google Play ROM for UK - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My HTC One on EE in the UK is my first Android phone having come from the iOS darkside. I was always happy to JB my iPhone, but just wanted a little advice.
I have watched Sakitech's youtube videos on unlocking/rooting/S-Off and installing the Google Play 4.4 ROM on the HTC One, but one thing he doesnt mention is the radio. I've noticed the ROM has the radio software to download. My concern is, if I install the Play Edition ROM on my phone in the UK, will I have any problems connecting to my carrier (EE). Also, with the Play Edition HTC One not available in the UK, will I have any problems connecting to services such as the Play Store from the UK?
Is Sakitech's video a good guide to follow for this process or do you have other recommendations?
Probably stupid questions to you guys, but I am an Android newbie!
Thanks
Andy

OP please read the Forum Rules on posting, as this does not belong in the Development Sections....Thanks and Moved here.

Sorry to bother, but....I have a question.

Hi XDA
Terribly sorry if this is already somewhere on these forums, I tried searching so avoid bugging any of you but I came to no conclusion....
I currently have a regular bronze T-mobile G1 which I had factory unlocked. I also rooted the handset and updated to JF1.5. The funny thing is, is that I can't see paid apps. I know unlocked phones can't see paid apps on the market... but I wanted to know... is there a way around that?
By the way, I am currently living in Canada and running it on a rogers network... if that makes any difference.
Thanks in Advance! and again sorry to bother anyone!
You should post this in the proper sub-section "DREAM" not in development.
Not a development , but anyways
For all those living out of USA , there is a program to install in order to allow purchasing paid apps from the market
You can download the prog from here

Thanks to both of the VERY quick responses!
Sorry for posting in the wrong section of the forums, I'm a noob.

Does anyone have the last apk for it?
I originally bought it when it wasn't on the market, but lost it any help would be much appreciated.

I'd contact the developer for that app. Asking for paid apps here is a no no.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Google has long since banned any apps that download videos from Youtube. Apparently it was a violation of the user agreement. Hence the disappearance of a bunch of YouTube downloaders and built-in features from apps like Dolphin HD. You can however get rolle3k's YouTube Ripper here.
Sorry about that, need to read over the forum rules again. I'll be sure to check out YouTube ripper thanks guys.

HTC One 64GB UK?

I've seen similar posts but they're quite outdated now, does anyone know if the HTC One 64GB edition is available to buy sim-free in the UK ? I want the HTC One but not the 32GB version and don't want to have to wait for a few months to get one, otherwise I might just end up getting the S4.
Anyone know of any sites or places doing the 64GB?
Cheers
As far as I know, the 64gb models is only avaliable in Asian countries for now. It could be months until it's avaliable for the rest of the world.
The HTC One is only available in Taiwan, I'm not sure anywhere else has it in Asia.
The S4 is only 16gb with 12gb useable. Also that 12gb is all the space available for installing apps and games. The memory card can't be used for apps.
I got the 32gb One and will buy a 64gb when out. But surprisingly I'm managing just fine with the 32gb.

Htc will prob release a one + at some point to make more cash.

Dear Matt,
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding the HTC One.

Regarding your question, for the moment we do not have any information regarding the availability of this mode on 64 GB, and you may want to check our website for updates, or subscribe to our newsletter. Also, regarding the Developer edition phone, I wouldn't suggest you to buy it, because these phones aren't built for the public, they are only for developers, and the phone won't have certain features, or it will be optimized for debugging/development, even though if it's unbranded, it will work in the UK.
I appreciate your patience so far, I hope this answers your question, and if you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Typical non helpful canned response, he might have well shrugged and said dunno.
And wtf is this:
"I wouldn't suggest you to buy it, because these phones aren't built for the public, they
are only for developers, and the phone won't have certain features, or it will be optimized

Sounds like he doesn't know anything about Android or the HTC One.
This is a better reply.

Seems just too good to be true , on the site eonline stores they are selling the htc one 64gb for £402
That seems crazy as the only other UK seller I can find are mobicity are and its £720 (which is a bit steep)
Heres the link :

Searching for 'multiple identical questions' is, as you know, standard practice here at XDA. Please don't assume that I failed to follow protocol.
A fruitless search it was. Hence my post.
Having said that I have since had a small degree of success simply restoring with TB
Kind regards
No answer

Posting here because I still can't be sure I've found the answer.
Now, does editing the build prop really work? I've been reading that it doesent work for paid for apps. I have a nook HD and have recently done a mod to 10.2. Some apps I originally bought in the nook store but have been using the gapp. But others are from the play store.

New Android User needs help

So i just got the P20 Pro as a gift. I have been using Apple phones and this is my first Android. The phone was purchased in China but I live in Canada. The phone is the Chinese version (CLT-AL00). It doesn't even have Google play so I can't download any apps. I googled and found some forum threads on changing firmware version and a service called FunkyHuawei that can change the region. I honestly don't know what to do and could use some help from experienced android users. Thanks in advance to anyone trying to help.

Given your lack of expertise I highly recommend Funkyhuawei. As long as you can follow directions you'll be fine.

Or leave the Chinese firmware and google how to install google stuff,thats easier.
