Please excuse the ignorance of this post but I am new to HTC devices (have just got an O2 XDA Stellar) and what is a forum if not a place to ask silly questions?!
I have read about an HTC Home screen or plugin.
Please can someone explain:
1. what it is;
2. if I can I use it on my Stellar;
3. would I want to use it on my Stellar;
4. what the most up to date version of it is; and
5. where I can get the most up to date version of it if I did want to use it?!
Thanks.
P.S. I posted this on another forum so I apologise to anyone who has seen this twice.

hi all just a quick post i have just signed up on the HTC site when i type in my S/N number it is saying that there is no such S/N ihave tried to ring orange but they dont know what iam trying to do i just want to know if there is going to be a free upgrade to the phone to windows mobile 6.1 if not is there any other way of getting the update
any help would be great thanks in advance
Official versions of WM6.1 have not shipped yet. If you want an unofficial version, start with the stickies and the wiki found in my sig, to learn how to flash ROMs found in the development section.
If you have any additional questions, you should try to post in an existing thread.
Have fun!
FWIW, my ROMs are not 6.1
Make sure you don't use any of the ROM's with the name Alex in it. They don't have 3D video drivers. HEHE
Just kidding, none of them do.
Kaiser new user - How do I put a ROM on my phone?
hi again sorry to be a pest what do i need to put a new rom on my phone or is it just download and install ?
Hi,
To start with click on the Gettings Started link in my Sig and read, all the information is there in verbose form.
But in short:
First you need to install HardSPL, this allows your phone to be flashed with a new ROM without it been bricked.
Once that is installed you can select and Flash your new ROM.
If the ROM you flash does not include a Radio then you may need to install a compatable radio. Click on the radios link in my sig and install a version to match your Windows Mobile Version.
If you have any problems with this post your problem in the relevant thread (all the threads are in the Getting Started Link in my sig).
Happy flashing.
Thanks
Dave

Just as a matter of interest, why do you think you need a new Rom on your phone? Or, how do you even know that new Roms are available?
You've obviously read far enough to realise that the new Roms are both available and better, so why not read a bit more and answer your question yourself...
Step one: Read
Step two: ???
Step three: PROFIT!!

@Mike C., Sorry merged the three threads... (EDIT by Mike - no need for apology I agree with you)
@OP (Original Poster), accept this a a little advice and a gentle nudge in the right direction.
This is a Development forum as indicated by the word "Developers" in the site name. The answers to all of your questions are here, just just need to search for them.
Find a thread relative to your question either by browsing or searching and after you have read that (or those) threads post any remaining questions in the appropriate thread. Starting new threads about topics that have already been discussed in depth only serves to dilute future search results.

Is there a chance that the custom roms can be used in these china versions? I am tired of the blinkfeed screen and would like a custom rom installed to get rid of this. Not sure if these roms can be used without destroying 2 sim card support.
thanks.
just install a different launcher if you dont want blinkfeed
I'm not sure whether ROMs will work on your variant (but I'd guess that they would) but as long as you're rooted with a custom recovery installed then you could always try it and see if you can install them or not. Of course, just make sure that you make a backup beforehand so if anything goes wrong, you can make sure that you can recover your phone to a working state.
You don't actually need to install a custom ROM to get rid of blinkfeed though. If you take a look at Q12 on the HTC One FAQ, you'll see that there are 2 ways you can "get rid" of blinkfeed without needing to install a ROM.
*NOTE* As this is a question, you shouldn't have posted your thread in the development section. I've just asked a moderator to move your thread to the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please remember to use that section if you have any further questions.

So far all 3 recovers in one forum can not be flahsed into One 802w. So there is no way to root it at this moment.
Not sure any recovery can be made for 802w or not.

If you can read Mandarin I would recommend trying out this site. It's probably the best and most reliable of the Chinese sites for custom Rom and rooting solutions for PRC specific devices: http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=1257
Just want to Root and install Google Apps
Hi Guys Im not looking for a custom rom, but would like to be able to root my 802W so that I can install google apps.
Is there any known way to do this yet?
If there is a website in Chinese with instructions on how to do this, then please send me the URL, and hopefully my wife can translate as I try and step my way through.

The poster above you posted a link to the Chinese HTC One forums. From what I can gather they have already rooted it and have Roms available. Maybe your wife can help you out with understanding it. I can't repost the link because my post count is too low but it is the bbs gfan URL above.

but the clockworkmod recovery files are not .zip files so cannot be flashed... they are .exe files.. but when i try and run them on my computer..i just get the gibberish as shown in the screen shot?....

The HTC store is absolutely useless. There are so many things that are not available on it. But if you bought this phone in China, then you have no choice as the Play Store and any Google services are banned. I had to install a custom tweaked ROM that had google services on it to enable everything again.
Hi there,
I just purchase HTC ONE M7 802W (china unicom version with 2 simcard)
But Since I Need google framework (google appslaystore, map, gmail, google contact etc etc etc more importantly, I live in Indonesia)
Then I guess I need to install the google apps into my HTC one.
The question is:
Is it possible to install the google apps without flashing
Rooted 802w from Shenzhen?
May you let me know if I could buy one from your friend in Shenzhen rooted?
I am very interested.
Hi all,
Once again, I'm back on this forum for asking questions about the HTC One Developer Edition, as its arriving (hopefully,) to my house tomorrow. I have a few questions to be answered.
1) The most important question- How do I root the Developer Edition? Please provide links, if possible.
2) Just to make sure from my previous post on this thread, ANY ROM on the forums "One Android Development and One Original Android Development" will work with the HTC One Developer Edition right? Take the ROM "Android Revolution HD" for example. I'm being extra careful because I don't want to brick my One.
3) Before rooting, I don't have to unlock the bootloader right, because I believe its already unlocked.
Thant's it for now! If I remember more, I'll post up another question thread.
Thanks in advance, again!
Greetings!
I order to unlock your HTC 10 Sprint phone check another my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-one-m9/general/htc-one-m9-sprint-sim-unlock-distantly-t3479125
Unlock process is the same as with HTC One M9. Thanks!
Nothing new....
Here I have been doing this for the last year.
Also here you can see an NV method that is working for HTC 10 and most models too.
Not sure whats up with the post... :/
