Hi I wonder if anybody knows of any Kitkat roms that work on the Incredible s with s on. I want to upgrade my wife’s phone. I have been using Szezso's excellent VivoKat 4.4.4 for over a year now, but due to the demise of revolutionary I believe it is not possible to s off this phone any more so I am looking for a stable kitkat that does not need s off as an alternative . Many Thanks. Al-Man

I don't have the phone and I am considering buying one and I have some questions
is there going to be an official kitkat for xperia SP?
I have seen custom kitkat roms, how stable are they? do they work as well as the official JB rom? (I mean ex. for htc desire, there are a lot of kitkat roms but none are as stable as the official rom (camera does not work well (videocam doesn't work at all), phone call issues, crashes, etc..)

Actually, I would put it this way, it's the same device, with just a little bit different software inside. The one with LB has a software limitation that does not let you install original android roms. Now, on most devices bootloader can be unlocked, and if your stuck with the one one that cannot, here I may be wrong, there are some versions of original android that can still be installed on such phones. However, customized stock roms work fine so you're not loosing much.
Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a 4.4.4 Kitkat custom rom, stable and without bugs.
There are the CM11 nightly but it's impossible to know what still does not go on them so I would not risk.
Any suggestions?
Do not link me any Lollipop rom, since I don't like the new Android OS and will never work perfectly on a Quadcore, in my opinion.
Thanks for your time.
I really want android 6.0 on my htc, is there anyway thanks

Android 6.0 isn't even fully deployed to nexus devices yet, you'll have to be much more patient . We will probably see 6.0 CM or AOSP roms relatively soon. I'm not expecting any 6.0 rom based on HTC Sense UI. CM13 development started about 10 days ago btw.

Custom Roms
As I am sure you know of by now. There are some unofficial cm13 roms on XDA threads that will bring Marshmallow on the Htc One m7 for both GSM and verizon/sprint variants. As per usual these roms are in early stages so bugs are expected. Overall the roms I have tested work smoothly and features like doze, app permissions are present. Bugs like FC on camera while taking pictures and phone restarting when plugging headphones do annoy me a lot and thus I went back to stable 5.1 roms. You could try the marshmallow roms out of curiosity like I did, but you probably should wait if you want to use them as a daily driver for your phone.
Hello
I've didn't heard anything
VanirAOSP
I recommend the VanirAOSP ROMs. They're usually among the first to make builds of new versions of Android, and they do a great job of doing it in a timely manner while having a grasp on stability. As of their latest nightlies, the only bug on their Marshmallow builds is that the camera app force closes when you launch the camcorder app, but this is a bug with all Marshmallow ROMs. A big plus with Vanir is that they do support all M7 variants, which as a Sprint user myself, is fantastic.
I hope you enjoy it, and Happy Holidays!

Not going to happen. Ever.
but why? It's something I can't understand. There can be ROMS with MIUI or FlymeOS for this phone but not with HTC Sense and Marshmallow?

Well MIUI is KitKat based, 4.4.4, and I haven't used Flyme on my M7 but on the Nexus 4 it's 5.1.x Lollipop based so I am going to assume the same, I could be wrong and it might be Kitkat or 5.0.x Lollipop. I think we have seen the end of Sense ROMs to be honest, I think it's highly unlikely that we are going to get a Marshmallow Sense rom. Someone probably would've ported it over by now if so. The development community is slowly shrinking, this phone did come out in early 2013 don't forget, it's 3 years old and most people have moved on to a new phone. We may see a port or two of CM's build of Android N when it's released to the public later this year and CM works on it, but that might even be a stretch. If it doesn't see it then I'm moving back to my Nexus 4 as my daily phone since it's bound to get it.
I might try to port it, as soon as i have some time.

Yepp, would love to see that to. Going to start deving on this device and the my touch 4g. Both have been great to me and deserve to remain alive. Sad they only develop for 2 years and CM does the same and end the same time period. Device looks better then the newer ones with the back and home button
¤-TIP FROM THE NOOB-¤-¤-
1. enable USB Debugging before flashing custom recovery.
2. back up system before granting apk's root permission, editing system files, and flashing a new rom.
? better safe than sorry ?

No need to say that. I am currently working on an Android 6.0 with sense rom myself.
I'm just wondering if anyone is still doing ROMs for the M9? I thought about updating to a newer phone, but I am happy with the hardware, I'm just hoping that someone is still out there willing to build a ROM since I'd prefer to just update my phone to Android 7.0 rather than looking for a new phone.
I'm going to guess that the answer to my question is a big fat "no" unfortunately... boo
