Well. ....if you actually read through both the "original android development" and "android development" forums you would find what you're looking for. The specific device support should be detailed in the first few posts.
For kernel, take a look a my SkyHigh kernel which supports dual SIM variants.
Cant say about ROM, as only use stock, mainly because I'm happy with it and easier to debug kernel rather than what could be the ROM.
Best of luck with the reading
Edit: before flashing, you may need to unlock your bootloader first (maybe crom app or something) and enable OEM unlock in developer settings.

Hello,
I'm thinking of buying the dual sim version once it's available in my country, but need some advice:
The most important thing to me is the ability to unlock the bootloader and install the newest stock (Google Play) and Cyanogen ROMs, as well as any other kernels and ROMs for One I may like. What concerns me about the dual sim version is that I won't be able to do that, because of the potential different drivers or software modifications needed for the dual sim functionality.
So, can you help me out? Do you know anything about unlocking the bootloader of this device? Do custom kernels and ROMs for the regular One work as expected on the dual sim version?

yes you're right bro ... first of all if you want to unlock the bootloader then its so simple just follow : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273570
also, there is very limited or i can say "No" support for the dual sim version of m7 ... didnt find any custom kernel and there a few custom rom only ...
so my advice is to better go or m7 single sim or look out some other device ...
Thanks for your answer! I was afraid of that, I really like the dual sim and sdcard support.
Any idea if regular One ROMs work at all (mainly the Google Play ROM)? For example if they work fine with sim 1, but just don't recognize sim 2 and/or sdcard? They would still be usable that way...
And what about Cyanogen mod? It's my impression that it's the best one out there, and it's adaptable, so there might be hope...
in china jifeng forum，there r many roms out there for the dual sim card version htc one，aka 802w，one thing i know is that the kernel code has not been releashed， so some functionalities on 802w rom still can be realized e.g. swipe the logo or double tap the awake the phone. that is all i konw

That helps a little, but I couldn't find the forum you mentioned. Do you have a link, so I could take a look?
BTW, seeing that you have 802w, how's the battery life?

Thanks! In the end I decided to go with the regular one, and got it a couple of days ago.
Thanks anyway, your answers were helpful, I just got tired of waiting for the dual sim version, it was supposed to arrive at the end of september, but it's still not here...
I would like to revisit the question about running a Custom Rom for the regular HTC One on the Dual SIM version.
Has someone tried this?
My favorite Rom is PACman. It is available for a pretty big amount of devices, including the regular HTC One. I would love to hear this is running on the Dual SIM version.
I would get the Dual SIM version only because of the microSD card slot. Think of this what you want, but though the point for me concerning Custom Roms is, that it wouldn't be a problem to not being able to run a second SIM card, but I want be able to use a microSD card.
I would be very pleased if someone owning the HTC One Dual SIM could try out running PACman on it.
Before I get started with rooting and flashing, what should I avoid, and what works for out T-Mobile variant? Should I stick to TMO specific ROMs, or can I use something from the Note 4 Snapdragon Development Forum. coming form a HTC One M8 where changing the CID basically made it a generic international model. Do we have the same options with N4?

In the past when I had the note 3 I used N9005 roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development . General rule of thumb as long it says N9005 for the note 3 then its a 80/20 chance that roms will work. I had some run perfectly with a few steps, like compatible kernal and patch for wifi/bluetooth/nfc fixes to work. In my past experience with using these roms, i learned that some will work and some will give you problems no matter what you tried. For example a rom i used for like almost half a year worked just fine, then a update to a new version updates and nothing worked. Kernals, patches nothing worked, so i used another rom for a while and then i went back to it recently and everything was working again.
So my advice is read every single instruction the rom developer has provided and make sure you follow it to ensure success. Read other FAQS and use the search button and so on. Most questions you may have, may already been answered by other people who post regular in the forums.
So based on this information, i believe this model is equivalent to N9005 Roms: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/ca552ee0
So look for roms that run N910s, from the link above it uses snapdragon processor, so hardware and it looks like the bands are close to US ones. So those are the roms that you need to look for.
One more thing I am not 100% sure if that is indeed the correct model to use, maybe im wrong and someone can correct me. Either way good luck and ask away if you have any other questions.
Haven't had a note in a while and thinking about picking up a note 4. I am with T-Mobile and would purchase the T-Mobile version, I read about different variants and just wanted to make sure they could all be rooted, custom recovery and flashed without issue. In some of the threads here when people have issues, others ask what variant, etc.
Thanks

Get the sm-n910t (t-mobile version). Very mod friendly.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
The T-Mobile version comes with the bootloader unlocked out of the box. You can do whatever you want with/to it.
I just purchase a T-Mobile Note 4 on 11/17/15 from one of their store. The model that I got is the SM-N910T3 and not SM-N910T. It comes with Android 5.1.1 installed instead of 4.4.4. You will probably end up with this model. Does anyone know if this variant is still bootloader unlocked? I also read that the TW 5.1.1 rom has root blocking enabled by Samsung, can anyone recommend a custom kernel that can override this to prevent a bootloop?
T is better for ROM Support VS. T3. T3 may be smooother

You want the T version for more ROM compatibility. The T3 version can be rooted and has a few ROMS but supposedly Samsung changed something in the phone so it has alot less ROM support. It does have root and 1 or 2 good ROM's though.
Root for T3
More info on T3

Did you ever end up buying this phone? I have been thinking about picking up a used one on Swappa to use as my daily driver until Samsung releases the S8 or Note 8. I currently have a LG V10 and even though it has an unlocked bootloater and root, there is zero ROM development for it due to issues with LG firmware/drivers.
Most posts I am seeing about unlocking bootloader and custom roms are for XT1921-5. I cannot seem to find this phone anywhere. Is this the USA variant? The closest I have found is the XT1921-3 (Boost Mobile) variant here
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/boost-...mory-cell-phone-black/6221728.p?skuId=6221728
Would I able to bootloader unlock and install custom roms on this? I'm looking for a backup phone that has LTE 2,4,5,12,13,17,25,26,41,66 bands and this one is perfect but I need to know if I will be able to unlock bootloader and install custom rom.
I can't find any good information about the different variants and what models support what bands and which models can be rooted.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks

I'm just doing "get a free phone from MetroPCS" due diligence so I don't have the phone in hand, but it looks like the XT1921-3 is actually the T-Mobile/MetroPCS (USA) version, which has been problematic for ppl. Good news is that it now has a factory image available (see thread here, although no clear reports on that yet . . . one seems to imply there was a problem with it, but I'm not totally clear).
So I'm not by any means an expert on Motorola firmware, but I'd be surprised if Boost (CDMA, right?) had the same model # as T-Mobile (GSM)--and I'm a little overtired but didn't see any note of the Motorola model # on the Best Buy link you provide.
In any case, not sure about bands and such, but hope that tidbit helps a little, in case you do in fact need something for the T-Mobile variant (-3), or if it's the same as Boost and I'm just a moron.

I'm located in the USA and AT&T is my carrier. I would like to be able to run custom ROMs on the phone. I did a quick search and came up with the following models "SM-N960F or SM-N960F/DS". Which version of the Note 9 is able to run custom ROMs? Thank you in advance for your advice.

960F and 960F DS are exynos variant, with unlocked/unlockable bootloader, both should run custom firmware without problems.
The difference being one is dual sim (hence the ds in the name).
960U/960U1 are snapdragon variants and have a locked bootloader, so no go on those.

So do the SM-N960F or SM-N960F/DS have all the correct bands for AT&T? Just curious as I have always wanted to do what you are doing...

Based on this thread, it looks like the 960F DS has the correct bands to run on AT&T. It may be missing some features such as Wifi calling though.

DS means dual sim. D is the single sim.
snapdragon also have the n9600 that is rootable.
only one dev right now so only 1 rom in xda.
might be more in the future...
